Chapter 179.3: First Meeting with the God Consort, Gift of the Cosmos Possessed by a Commoner (3)Chapter 179.3: First Meeting with the God Consort, Gift of the Cosmos Possessed by a Commoner (3)
At the mention of the God Consort, the young Star Attendant was in high spirits and spoke endlessly, beaming with joy.
She said… that the God Consort was a great goddess from the cosmos.
She was a selfless goddess who saved the mortal world with compassion and sacrifice.
Only true gods could compare to her beauty. However, since the true gods only resided in the Nether Realm and the upper world's God Realm or were in eternal slumber, in that case, their God Consort was the pinnacle of beauty in the entire mortal world.
The God Consort could trigger the Starburst phenomenon and create a great weapon that contained the power of the cosmos. However, only the God Kings could use them.
As a goddess, the God Consort's body was sacred and could not be offended. She could not be touched or scrutinized. Any blasphemy against the God Consort's divine body would result in a serious crime. Even the God King was not exempted from those rules.
"Even the God King?"
At that point, Rayne was stunned. "For real? Even the God King can't touch the God Consort's body?"
The Star Attendant nodded repeatedly and said with certainty, "That's right. The God Consort is a noble sacred being. Even His Majesty the God King must not blaspheme her…"
"But…"
Rayne revealed a puzzled expression. "I heard that in history, the warriors chosen by the Star Elves had to touch the bodies of the Star Elves in order to trigger the Starburst phenomenon?"
"Well…"
When the young Star Attendant heard that, she revealed a troubled expression.
In truth, she would feel puzzled about that contradiction at times as well.
However, she did not dare to say anything presumptuous in front of the Prince of Haines. Therefore, she could only repeat the exact words of her elders.
Star Attendant: "That's because… the current Star Attendant Court uses a more efficient star casting ritual to replace the backward summoning method of physical contact. Right now, the God King doesn't have to offend the God Consort's sacred body to obtain a Starburst divine weapon to fight."

"I got it."
Finally, Rayne's treatment came to an end. The Star Attendant bowed respectfully to Rayne and left after obtaining the prince's permission.
Just by observing the complicated expression of the Star Attendant girl, the hidden conflict in Heavenly Kingdom Dawn had already surfaced.
The God King could not touch the body of the God Consort… This new rule was clearly abnormal. Unfortunately, the citizens of Dawn worshipped the God King too much and would never question the authority of the Star Attendants. Therefore, there was a fact they might not have considered, or dared to voice out...
Perhaps, the God King had lost or might not even have in the first place, the ability to trigger the Starburst phenomenon by touching the body of the Star Elf. That might be the reason why they created the so-called advanced ritual to forcefully create the Starburst phenomenon. Furthermore, the God King used the rule of not being able to touch the body of the God Consort to give himself a logical reason as well...
What a pity.
The Star Elves were originally swords given to the primitive living beings of the mortal world by the benevolent superior beings to protect their homes.
Unfortunately, this sword fell into the hands of a mediocre person.
It was regrettable that a gem had been covered in dust.
…
…
For the rest of the time, Rayne stayed in his residence to recuperate.
Of course, he was faking his illness. It was not difficult for Rayne to use magic to fake an illness that made it seem as though he could not acclimatize.
Therefore, as soon as the Star Attendant left, Rayne returned to normal and ate and drank with his sister. At the same time, he taught her magic and spent the day happily.
The next night, Rayne was invited to a banquet held by the palace.
Rayne did not decline and chose to participate.
After all, as a guest, Rayne could not hide in his residence like a turtle every day even if he was sick.
Therefore, he accepted the God King's invitation to explain the purpose of his trip. At the same time… he wanted to meet the God Consort.
Rayne set off early and arrived at the banquet in the palace.
The banquet of the High Elves fully reflected their profound attainments in art and pleasure. In the resplendent palace hall, the tables for receiving guests were filled with all sorts of delicacies.
Not only was the design of these delicacies beautiful, the taste was also soul-stirring. As for the wine on the table, it was equally stunning.
Any visitor from the ground who had eaten the fine wine and dishes of the High Elves could not help but sigh in admiration. These High Elves were indeed much more civilized in terms of food and drink.
At that moment, the banquet was still in the preparation stage and many guests were not present.
However, the God King had already entered the venue early with his beloved concubines to entertain the guests.
As the king of a Heavenly Kingdom, the God King naturally had many concubines.
However, among the God King's group of women, the only one who could be on equal footing with him was the God Consort from the cosmos.
The God King sat at the head of the banquet. Beside him was the goddess of the High Elves, the God Consort.
Tonight, the God Consort was wearing a pure white evening gown that the Star Attendant Court had specially designed for her. The design was conservative but extremely gorgeous. They used dozens of superb tailoring techniques on the gown, as though they were showing off their tailoring skills, making it peerlessly beautiful.
At the same time, in order to highlight the conservatism of the God Consort, the exposed skin of the God Consort was wrapped in a layer of hollow lace that clung to her body. Even her face was covered by a white veil.
This symbolized the untouchable rule of the God Consort's sacred body.
Her long snow-white hair was tied into an exquisite bun, making her look even more dignified and elegant.
It had to be said that the God Consort's figure was truly unforgettable. Not only was she stunning in certain sizes, their shapes were so perfect that they even resembled three-dimensional embodiments of lust.
It could only be said that she was indeed an existence from the cosmos… After all, in certain areas, she truly resembled... planets free from the restraints of gravity.

The last point was something that could not be said in the Heavenly Kingdom. After all, scrutinizing the sacred body of the God Consort would be considered as blasphemy.
In short, the beauty of this white-haired God Consort before them was worthy of the title of 'Goddess from the cosmos'.
The exquisite concubines who were carefully selected from the country and accompanied her were all dim against her limelight and were reduced to mediocre backgrounds.
It was as the rumors had said—the God King of this generation was truly tactless.
The previous two generations of God Kings would all give up their positions to their beloved concubine, be it the throne in the palace or the seat as the head of the banquet.
However, for this generation's God King...
Before the banquet officially began, he looked for Rayne and greeted the latter first. Thereafter, the God King began his usual routine.
Showing off.
"Your Highness, did you think that my palace was cool on your way here?"
"Today, in order to entertain Your Highness, this banquet is filled with the most expensive dishes of our Heavenly Kingdom Dawn. There are many ingredients that are hard to come by even in decades. Try them all."
"And my beloved consort… I wonder if there are any beauties in the mortal world who can compare to my lovely her?"
Rayne had a smile on his face as he followed the God King's intents and praised him casually. Immediately, the God King was pleasantly surprised and delighted.
Rayne Haines was the Prince of Haines after all. With his status, it was an honor for the God King to receive his praise.
However, this back-and-forth did not last long.
Under Rayne's guidance, the topic quickly came to serious matters.
"Speaking of which… Your Highness Rayne."
The God King revealed a vexed expression. "I heard from the Empress that you're here to support the High Elves with your sister. I don't understand. I don't think it's a problem for me and my Starburst Spear to deal with that star, right? Why would we need help?"
