Chapter 885 Make it last as long as you can
Aragha calculated with his fingers, "It's almost time, isn't it Green Day in a few days? He will appear then."
He then introduced the other two brothers.
"Alabrin and Aladdin, they are both half-bloods, with foreign mothers. Alabrin really loves children. Every year, he sets aside a day to put gifts in stockings and delivers them to children through the chimney. That's why we call him the chimney god, but some people also like to refer to him as Santa Claus."
Ivy finally understood, Alabrin was Santa Claus.
If it weren't for Aragha, no matter what anyone said, she refused to believe that Santa Claus and the God of marriage were true brothers.
Aragha continued, "Aladdin was always afraid of the dark and liked to live inside a lamp. Eventually, he became the Lamp God. If someone wants to make a wish with him, they have to find the lamp where he resides and summon him out to grant their wish."
"I see!" Ivy thought about how Alexander could only live until the age of 31 and quickly asked Aragha, "Amongst the four of you, who is the most powerful? Who can grant immortality?"
Aragha said, "We four brothers are equal in power. As long as people believe in us, we will do everything in our power to fulfill their wishes, even if it means stealing or plundering!"
Well, they had certainly witnessed their ability to steal and plunder!
Surprisingly, Aragha had already visited the heavenly realm twice during that time of granting wishes and stolen the immortality elixir made by the God of Medicine. Being able to make two round trips in such a short period of time was an extraordinary ability!
Alexander thought about the wish he had just made and hastily asked, "Has my wish already been granted?"
Aragha's suspenders slipped off his shoulders again, and he pulled them back up, saying, "Your wish was: I want to live longer and spend more time with Ivy. I can make this wish come true, but I can only do it at the end of your life."
"How long will I live then?" Alexander couldn't wait to know.
Aragha said, "You were originally a wisp of divine energy from God, destined to only live until 30 years old. No one can change this fact. But since you made a wish to me, I cannot ignore you. I can use all my power to delay your time as much as possible, giving you a few extra minutes."
"Just a few minutes?" Alexander felt deeply disappointed.
"A few minutes should suffice. You can say everything you want to say, bid farewell to your wife and children one by one! Don't underestimate these few minutes. I have to exhaust all my power to make it possible. If you think it's too short, then it would be truly disheartening!"
"I don't find it too short," Alexander said sadly. "But those few minutes don't hold much meaning to me, and they would only deplete your power. It's not worth it. I take back this wish!"
"You are such a good person!" Aragha embraced Alexander, deeply moved. Pouting, he said, "You know what? Each of the four of us brothers started as children. But every time we exhaust our power, we age a little. We become this old because some people make very difficult wishes that we have to fulfill, using all our power, and then we have to retrain ourselves."
"Is that so..." Alexander hugged Aragha tightly, touched by this revelation.
He had initially believed that wish-granting gods were capable of anything, but now he realized how hard their lives were!
To fulfill others' wishes, sacrificing their own power, even resorting to stealing and plundering, it truly was difficult for them.
The straps of the overalls slipped down again, and feeling irritated, they pulled them up and exclaimed, "These pants are terrible! The straps keep falling down."
