I Picked Up a God

Chi Nian has been reborn again. Each time, he discovers that the child he picked up in his first life has followed him into the same world. In his first life, he was a half-human, half-insect monster, while the child was a clueless little fool of unknown origins. He took the child in and raised him aboard his spaceship, but his own identity led to the child's death. He thought, "Next life, I absolutely won't leave the child alone again." In his second life, he and the child were both abandoned at an orphanage. The child was a little smarter this time. He taught him to speak, read, and write, and helped him learn about the world bit by bit. But their good days didn't last long, and they both died in an earthquake. In his third life, he was the empire's top alpha, and the child was a delicate omega. He doted on him and gave him the tightest protection, all so he could live a peaceful life. This time, he finally raised him to adulthood, but somewhere along the way, his feelings changed as they spent each day together... In his fourth life, he was a wild sentinel with no guide, while the child was a fresh-faced guide just starting out. The moment the child saw him, he remembered how Chi Nian had forced a kiss on him before. He clutched his own arm and looked at him warily. "Um... I can help treat your injuries, but you can't get handsy with me." Like a monster from the depths of an abyss, Chi Nian gazed greedily at his face and said in a low voice, "All right. I won't get handsy with you. It's just... could you stay a little closer to me?" "..." . He had been nothing more than a test subject, with no name, no identity, let alone a family. On the day he died as a tool, he made a wish to God: If I have another life, I hope to have something that belongs only to me. God answered his wish. He was reborn and picked up a child. The child was of unknown origins, alone and helpless, with no choice but to rely on him. This child belonged to him alone. He regarded the child as his one and only, and wanted only to raise him. But fate was always against him, laying traps to take his life in ways he never expected. Perhaps he was destined to die, but he couldn't accept it. He died and was reborn again and again, just to see his child one more time. Little did he know that his child was his own god, born from his wish. Each time he was reborn, his god was answering that wish. You and I have journeyed through countless lifetimes to earn an eternal vigil. Reading guide: The first two lives are shorter. The later ones will be longer and sweeter. Theme: One day, you will see the light.
