This time, I stayed in the God Realm for about four days, which was shorter than I had expected. Firstly, I had finished all the things that I had to do. Secondly, Father and Mother Bing gave me too much pressure. Although the two parents were very reasonable, I really didn't know if they really wanted to shove their daughter out of the God Realm. Every day when I lived in Bindis' house, I was on tenterhooks. I was afraid that my chastity would be taken away by those two unreasonable parents if I wasn't careful …
When I came out of the teleportation gate, I saw the familiar Life Goddess Shrine, as well as the wide path that led to the Shadow City in front of the shrine. I could finally heave a sigh of relief. I was finally home.
Icetis's body was still following behind me mindlessly, while her soul was temporarily stuck with me. However, this stuck state had already loosened greatly. Father Bing's plan was very effective. After isolating the void from her assimilation, Icetis's soul was rapidly regaining freedom. Now, she could already form a weak connection with her body, and occasionally, she would feel that she was being expelled. As for me, the most obvious feeling of the separation process was that I could clearly feel that there was another will in my soul. This was a sign that the two souls that had fused together were about to become independent again.
Perhaps in the next one or two days, Icetis would regain her freedom.
In the four days that I was in the God Realm, I followed Father Bing's instructions and took care of Icetis's body. No matter what Father Bing's intentions were, I personally didn't have any conflict with this mission. I ate together with Sister Bing, played together, and even slept together. The last one was a little awkward, but I could proudly announce that I didn't become scum. Although there was a beautiful sleeping beauty lying next to me, I was still able to control myself.
One of the important reasons was that Icetis was supervising me from the side the entire time …
However, I felt that even without her supervision, I wouldn't do anything out of line. After all, I had always upheld a principle, which was that if the feelings weren't there, I wouldn't take anything for free. I felt that I might indeed have an ambiguous relationship with Bryndys. I also didn't rule out the possibility that it was just like what Mother Bing had said. Bryndys also had a good impression of me that she herself didn't even notice. Maybe the two of us would really get together because of this, and it was even more likely that we would live this kind of 'simple life' that only belonged to the two of us. Anyway, no matter what, I didn't intend to destroy the current relationship between me and Bryndys.
You have to know that only those who couldn't eat would think that having a full meal was a blessing. Only those who couldn't earn money would think that heaven was paved with RMB. Only those who couldn't find a partner would think that having a girl was a blessing. If you weren't lacking in these aspects to the point that you couldn't survive, then it was time to consider something of a higher level, such as feelings and responsibilities.
"What are you thinking? Why don't you continue walking? " Icetis's voice sounded. I had been standing in front of the teleportation gate of the Holy Shrine for too long, and the female pervert finally couldn't hold back her impatience. "Hurry up, hurry up! We're home, we're home! What a relief! "
I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "… We're at my home, alright? How much of a blow would it be for your parents to hear your words?"
"Tsk, can't I just tell the truth? I'm even more nervous in my own home than in yours. Tell me, what's going on? You can't even stand having your parents, who are so strong, on your head — Are you going to leave or not? If it wasn't for the fact that I don't have legs right now, I would have kicked you … "
"Alright, alright, my Goddess …" I raised my hands in surrender and walked towards the mist of light with Icetis.
A white light flashed before my eyes, and I was already standing in front of the majestic trunk of the World Tree. On the plaza of the Holy Shrine, there was a procession to welcome me. The Empire's soldiers and clergy stood on the periphery, while Sandora and my older sister led their entire family (except for the ghost) to stand in front of me.
The first scene I saw was Liliana sprinting towards me with tears in her eyes. When she was only three meters away from me, she jumped up and threw herself at my neck with her arms wide open. "Boss! I missed you so much … Urgh … "* Bang! *
Halfway through Liliana's flight, she was sent flying by Visca, who rushed over from the side. The cat-eyed lass didn't seem to notice that she had sent the 109-meter-tall archbishop flying. She happily hugged my arm and rubbed her cheeks so hard that sparks could be seen. "Big brother, big brother, welcome home … Yeah, there's a lot more to say, but I forgot, so that's all."
Looking at the white smoke coming out of my arm from her rubbing against me, I quickly retracted my hand and pressed on the lass's head to calm Visca down. Then, I walked to the side of Liliana, who had been sent flying a few meters away. This fake loli was pretending to be heavily injured from the fall and was moaning. I pulled her up and hugged her in my arms, and as expected, she immediately recovered.
Every day when I returned home, I would see Liliana either seeking death or pretending to be dead. In any case, in such a situation, all I had to do was give her a warm hug. That was all that the lass wanted.
"Icetis's condition hasn't recovered yet?"
Sandora went forward and pinched Icetis's face. When she realized that Icetis didn't react at all, a worried expression appeared on her face. "Could it be that even Father has no way of recovering her?"
Look, although they were usually very noisy, no matter what, they still had a deep relationship of tens of millions of years. If something were to happen to Icetis, it was impossible for Sandora to not react.
"She's still recovering," Icetis's soul replied casually. "Father placed a protective layer between my soul and Chen's, allowing us to separate on our own. I should be able to regain my freedom in one or two days … Hey, what are you doing! Let go of your sinful claws! "
Sandora pulled Icetis's face into all sorts of weird shapes as she muttered, "Let's enjoy ourselves while there are still one or two days left."
Although she said it so rudely, I could see that Sandora had obviously heaved a sigh of relief. She was probably really worried that Icetis wouldn't be able to recover.
"Cough, cough. Regarding our homeworld, we have indeed found a large number of suspected targets in the God Realm's database." I coughed lightly and interrupted Sandora's sinful claws, Lin Xue's sinful red ink, and Shallow shallow's sinful … other pair of claws. If no one stopped the three of them, they would probably use thirty seconds to dress up Sister Bing like a monkey calling for reinforcements. However, the moment I mentioned serious matters, they all quietened down. "However, we can't be sure that our homeworld is one of them. The voyage log that I brought over is too general. Father can only deduce that there was an expedition army that came into contact with a similar universe. He can't be sure about anything else. When Anthus collates the new information, send it over as soon as possible. We have already established a short-term team over there. They will continue to investigate the suspected worlds based on the new information. We won't have to send people over personally then. "
"It's not that we can't find them, it's that we can't investigate all of them if we find too many results at once." Sandora smiled. "Although it might take some time, it's still good news."
"Alright, alright. Can we not talk about work here? Ah Jun just came back. "Sister's voice rang out. She pinched the flesh on my face and checked my entire body." Are you hungry? Have you taken care of yourself? Go home with Sister and change your clothes. You haven't changed out of your clothes yet! Hey, why do you smell so good … "
I lifted my hand and pointed at Sis Bing's golden body, who was less than half a meter away from me. "She has completely lost her ability to think. Now, the highest order is to stay by my side. How can she not smell after spending so much time with this human-shaped air freshener?"
Shallow Shallow curiously carried Sis Bing's body ten meters away. After she let go, she watched as Sis Bing jogged back to where I was half a meter away. She did this a few times before clapping happily. "It's true! It's true!"
How can she play with everything?!
Icetis was mentally and physically exhausted. She couldn't be bothered to stop others from messing with her golden body anymore. She muttered through our mental connection, "Wait for me to come back to life … Wait for me to come back to life … Wait for me to come back to life … Wait for me …"
The house was still the same. There couldn't have been any changes in the past four days. The only difference was that the door and the fridge in the corner seemed to have been replaced. Perhaps it was Lin's doing again. The first thing I did when I got home was to throw myself on the sofa. I was extremely dispirited, extremely premature, and extremely satisfied. I took a deep breath like a retired grandpa. This home wasn't extravagant at all. It wasn't as extravagant as the obsidian palace, nor was it as grand as the Father Shrine. It was just a large and spacious house that only a small ghost maid would be able to clean up. However, this house had everything I wanted, which was why I was quite satisfied.
Did you guys notice that I've become much more cultured after coming back from the Divine Realm?
"You're just too free." Icetis hit the nail on the head.
To prove that I wasn't just idle, I took out the MDT and started to look through the reports of the major events that had happened in the Empire since I left the City of Shadows.
Everything was progressing in an orderly manner. Without the Fallen Apostle messing around, the new Empire was able to operate at an astonishing speed and stability. The Hessian tribe had gained a foothold in their new home. Now, they were familiarizing themselves with the rules of survival in the Empire with the help of the Civilizational Community and the Tree Elves. For the Hessians who were used to living a hard life, their new home was so superior that they needed some time to adapt to it. The resources in their new home left them speechless. The route to other universes was as simple and safe as the door to their own bedroom in their own home. A starship captain could never explore the entire star map in his lifetime, and there were allies everywhere. Even though outside the steel defense line was a vast expanse of red abyss occupied by the Empire, the Hessians were overjoyed with their new life. They were a bunch of easily satisfied people.
The report mentioned that the Hessians had reorganized their military forces and were upgrading the massive Hessian fleet with the help of the Military Command. Their scientists and researchers were also entering the Empire's various training departments for vassal races in batches to learn enough knowledge to allow their civilization to advance by leaps and bounds. The knowledge was carefully screened and reorganized by the Military Command to not cause too much of a blow to the Hessians' inherent technological tree and their creative ability as intelligent beings. Of course, the technological system of the Hessians would still depend on the development of the Empire in the years to come, but at the very least, they would not be like the minions of the Old Empire who completely turned into 'high-tech primitives' who only knew how to pull the trigger and press the switch.
Another report mentioned that the Ancestors were gradually regaining their vitality and were beginning to work with high enthusiasm. Anthus and the others were now happy to be part of the research center's permanent staff. Although their main job was to be researched, they were still happy. One of the researchers concluded that the Ancestors had a strange passion for "taking responsibility and working hard." Although this motivation was not as strong as the Shiring Apostles' passion for work based on the core code of conduct, it was still moving. This proved that only a mortal race like the Ancestors was qualified to create the Shiring Apostles.
The third report came from Tawil. She was happy to announce that the new battleship equipped with a small disassembly generator and a special shield had been assembled. A prototype spaceship was waiting for inspection in the military spaceport. The overall framework of the spaceship was not perfect, but it had shown performance that met or exceeded the expected value in targeted tests. She invited Sandora and me to take a look at the spaceship in the next few days. If it passed the inspection, Tawil would mass-produce it in small batches and gradually improve it in actual combat.
The last report worth paying attention to was also from Tawil. I had not seen its content for a while.
It was about the Deep Submergence Project.
A new Deep Submergence Ship had just been assembled and left the Kuiper Belt spaceport three days ago. It was now being transported by a large barge to a Gate of the Abyss test site near the border of the Empire. The research team had applied to start the Deep Submergence Project in the near future.
The report had a review mark from Sandora, which meant that Sandora had already read the report. However, she had left a big 'pending' conclusion, indicating that it would not be approved for the time being. I had no idea what was going on.
The Deep Submergence Project was one of the most important research projects in the New Empire. Although this project was very dangerous, as long as they could avoid Crimson Moon Technology, which was easy to get out of control, Sandora and I would give the project the green light. I didn't see anything worthy of a 'pending' in the report. The new Deep Submergence Ship had been built under Sandora's supervision. The new Deep Submergence Project had been very cautious. The test site had been evacuated and the surrounding buffer zone had been built two months ago. The Fallen Apostle wouldn't come and cause trouble. For the sake of safety, the new test site had been changed. It was far away from the area where the Fallen Apostle was active.
I found Sandora. She was watching Anveena in the kitchen, making trouble out of habit. My appearance made the little ghost overjoyed. "Master! Hurry up and persuade the mistress to leave! She has almost finished her soy sauce … "
I dragged Sandora out with veins bulging on my forehead. I asked her about the Deep Submergence Project.
"Oh, I knew you would ask about this." Sandora licked the soy sauce at the corner of her mouth. She seemed to have expected it. "The Deep Submergence Project is not bad. It's a pity that Lin Xue saw something bad. She was the one who urgently stopped the project."
I instantly broke out in a cold sweat. From the very beginning, the Deep Submergence Project had been a project equivalent to welding a detonator and sawing a light bulb. Everyone was afraid that something would go wrong. In order to ensure safety, every time the Deep Submergence Project had a new project, we would let Lin Xue do a divination … Oh, I would have to use a more high-end term here. She would make a prophecy. Fortunately, everything had been going smoothly. But this time … What did Miss see?
"It's hard to say." Sandora shook her head, but she wasn't too worried. "You know, the interference from the gate of the abyss is great. What she can see is limited. Lin Xue only said that there was an accident waiting nearby. If the Deep Submergence Project were to depart now, it would be destroyed by the accident. However, she didn't notice the possibility of the accident affecting other universes. I have asked the Deep Submergence Project to delay its departure. We will see when we can avoid the accident. "
"Mm, it's good that nothing big happened." I let out a breath of relief.
"Speaking of which, what is she …" The corner of Sandora's eye twitched. She changed the topic to Sis Bing's … body. "She is almost hanging on to you."
I jumped half a meter to the side and Sis Bing's body jumped half a meter too. She still maintained the distance between us, almost like a silly shadow. I chuckled dryly. "Her soul is probably returning soon. Her body is instinctively getting closer to her soul."
Sandora's gaze moved back and forth between Icetis and me. In the end, she grimaced helplessly and walked back to the kitchen. "I don't care about you guys. Lin Xue is watching anyway."
A moment later, Anveena exclaimed in surprise from the kitchen. "Mistress! That is raw … Don't eat MSG … Don't drink vinegar … That is the last bag of salt! "
It's so nice. It's a bustling home that I'm familiar with.
With a satisfied and comfortable sigh, I strolled into the courtyard.
Dinner would be a little late. The moon was already high up in the sky. There was still a bit of grayish-blue light in the clear night sky. The crescent moon hung lazily in the sky under the protection of two or three stars. In front of the porch, I saw a big fluffy tail swinging back and forth. It was our fox. She was sitting on the porch steps with a cup of hot tea in her arms, gazing at the moon in the sky in fascination. Under the tranquil moonlight, the silly fox finally had the temperament of a fox fairy.
Monsters had a special reaction to moonlight. When the moon was full, most monsters would be overly excited. However, it was still a long time before the full moon. The fox probably had nothing better to do and came to the yard to dry its fur.
I walked over softly. Fox's ears twitched slightly. It was obvious that she heard my footsteps. As expected of a canine's hearing. She even wagged her tail to greet me. I walked over and pinched the tip of her ears. "What are you looking at?"
"What are you looking at?" Fox replied naturally. She took out a muffin from the snack box and handed it to me. "Do you want some? You can fill up your stomach before dinner. "
I took the muffin and thought for a while. Then, I realized that Fox wasn't scolding me. I sat next to her and looked up at my sister.
Visca (the moon) was already halfway up in the sky.
What I learned in the God Realm about the price of immortality — — those things were still lingering in my heart. But at this moment, under the tranquil moonlight, those annoying things gradually faded away. No matter what the future holds, at least for now …
Enjoy my sister's radiance …
