The first night came, and the tears shed by the Goddess of Creation surfaced from the sea...
[Son of Tiamat, you will be connected with me, the sea that breeds your life will never dry up, life in the world will never die, and you will live forever.]
The second night came, and the tears of the Goddess of Creation floated from the sea to the coast...
[Son of Tiamat, you will be blessed by the ocean, which is blue and pure, and your divine power will be endless.]
The third night came, and the tears that floated to the shore merged with the earth...
[Son of Tiamat, you will be connected to the earth, the earth will exist, and your body, soul, and spirit will last forever until the earth is submerged by the ocean.]
The fourth night approached, and the tears that merged with the earth formed an oval-shaped object as the starlight and moonlight fell over it...
[Son of Tiamat, you have received the gift of starlight and moonlight, and mastered the wisdom of the heavens.]
The fifth night came, and the oval-shaped object began to change. After being exposed to the sun, it gradually shrank and formed a vague figure in the shape of a human being...
[Son of Tiamat, you have endured the venom of the sun, even the gods who know everything cannot see through your essence.]
The sixth night came, and the oval-shaped object that turned into a vaguely human shape, like dry and fissured soil—cracked as it burst open, revealing the child conceived by the Goddess of Creation.
Rather than a child, it might as well be an eleven or twelve-year-old boy.
Although the boy was conceived by mixing the tears of the Goddess of Creation and soil, the skin on his body is like jade, with a crystal luster.
[Congratulations to the self-awareness left by Mother God. The last child has been successfully born. He will soon open his eyes. Please give him the last treasure and turn it over into his bright eyes.]
As the eleven or twelve-year-old boy opened his eyes, there were a pair of black and white eyes that could even absorb the very soul, but his black and white eyes appear s to be slightly dull as if he lacked wisdom.
But the boy saw a pair of blurry and hazy eyes, which were a match of pink eyes with pink starlight intersecting in them.
Those were a pair of strange eyes reflecting the sea within the stars.
These pink crossed eyes revealed indescribable love and tenderness to the boy, just like a mother looking at her beloved child.
After the young man saw these eyes, his dull pupils changed instantly, and his eyes became bright and brilliant as if he had been injected with a soul.
And the black and white pupils also began to change into colorful iridescent colors as if they were the eyes of the Aged Gods.
The young man stared directly at the hazy and illusory pink eyes in front of him with his gorgeous eyes as he softly muttered a word to himself.
"Mother…"
Following the young man's murmur, the illusory pink eyes revealed an indescribable joy as it quietly disappeared, as if all its power had been exhausted—and the boy also fainted.
As the sunrise and sunset came, the unconscious boy did not wake up, he was still lying on the ground as if having a good sleep. Then, a black-haired goddess came from the forest by the sea and stared at the sleeping young man on the ground without blinking.
The goddess' eyes moved on the naked young man, and she didn't know what she had seen, she wrinkled her delicate nose, showing a smile that was nine parts joyful and one part shy.
The goddess covered the young man with a suit of clothes, and then quietly left. The goddess didn't even leave her footprints on the pure white sand.
The seventh night came, and when the starlight and moonlight fell on the young man, the young man faintly woke up from his slumber.
[The seventh night has come, you have been fully conceived, child... Finally, please live happily and freely.]
"The seventh night..." The boy sat up from the ground, and the clothes covering his body also slipped off, revealing his jade-like crystal-clear skin.
The young man who was full of bewilderment about this world picked up his clothes. He looked at the word 'Seven Nights' engraved on the pure white clothes and blinked his black and white eyes blankly.
Obviously, it was the first time he saw such words, but the young man knew how to read them.
"Seven nights… On the seventh night, my mother hopes that I will live happily and freely in the end."
The young man whispered the information left in his mind. The information in his mind is too much and too chaotic for now. He needs a lot amount of time to organize it.
But now is not the time for the young man to think about sorting out the information. His instinct is telling him that he has to wear this set of pure white clothes, so as not to expose his body to the outside world.
The young man puts on the pure white clothes. As if he had no teacher, he sat on the ground by the sea, pondering and sorting out the information in his mind.
"I am a child of my mother, a child conceived by my mother for seven days and seven nights, so I will be named 'Seven Nights'." The young man gave himself a name.
And the words 'Seven Nights' are also inscribed on the pure white clothes he's wearing now, it's really too coincidental, or is it really a coincidence?
Qiye(1) stopped his thoughts and tidied up because he felt his stomach grumbling, he sat on the sand, and pushed the sand away, revealing the soil covered under the sand.
Stretching out his hand to grab it, the twelve-year-old boy grabbed the dirt with his white hands, and then put the dirt in his mouth. He frowned slightly with the dirt in his mouth.
It's a bit unpalatable, but Qiye feels that he can eat it, and they can fill his stomach.
After eating a few mouthfuls of soil in a row, Qiye stood up, walked to the beach, held the seawater with both hands, and gently sucked it up.
Even though the seawater was full of a salty taste, Qiye drank it with sweet relish, just like his mother's sweet milk juice.
Qiye, who stopped to suck in the seawater, thought about it, and said in great surprise, "The salty taste of the soil, the sweetness of the seawater—is this taste? It's so interesting."
Qiye was very happy, just like a child discovering a new and interesting toy, indulging in the novelty brought by the world and the knowledge in his mind.
The last son of Tiamat, he bears the order of his mother Tiamat, and his mother's order is—to let him live happily and freely.
So he will obey his mother's orders.
After becoming familiar with the smell of the soil and the sea, Qiye began to take steps toward other unknown places. With his bare, crystal-clear feet, he stepped on the pure white sand, leaving footprints one by one.
The sand classified as the soil did not bring discomfort to Qiye, but instead gave him a very comfortable and pleasant enjoyment. Qiye, who stepped on the sand, entered the forest beside him.
He put all the grass and dead bark he encountered into his mouth, and carefully experienced the novelty they brought him.
Soon, after tasting many strange things with his own mouth, Qiye met the first animal in his life, which was a cooing animal…
