Hilla and Xing Chen's love marathon seemed to be going on for quite some time. Actually, according to my understanding — fine, mainly from Icetis — the highest Goddess of Darkness was quite open-minded about her relationship with the Father God. At the very least, she didn't oppose King Xiuron. After all, the population of Void creatures was so small that if two Void creatures could get together, it would be a good thing for the entire Void. However, the two of them couldn't get together, and the main problem was the "extremely motivated" Hilla …
If there was a crazy girl like her who kept chasing after me and begging me to give birth to a child, and this girl would pester me regardless of the situation and time, I would probably be scared away first. If Hilla had launched such an attack when she and Xing Chen were already close, she might have succeeded, but she just had to fall in love with Xing Chen before she even had any feelings for him. Then, she launched such a vigorous and aggressive attack … Who could take that?
The number one and number two experts of the Void finally settled down after a long while. Before the bitter smile on Xing Chen's face could fade, he hurriedly used business as a cover. "About the Void Cataclysm last season, do you have any guesses?"
At this moment, I naturally recalled what Abyss Schilling had once told me, so I exchanged glances with him and brought up a rather suspicious "historical artifact". "About the ancient Abyss Gate at the bottom of the Divine Realm — Abyss Schilling thinks that 'bridging' might have been done more than once, and that there might even be civilizations on the 'Main Shore' who did so. The Abyss Gate in the Divine Realm might have been left behind from the last time they built a bridge. I wonder if you can investigate based on this. Perhaps you can find some technical references for bridging. "
Speaking of business, Hilla's expression finally turned serious. She glanced at Xing Chen. "That ancestor at the bottom of the Star Field. I know about it, and I've even visited it a few times. To be honest, I've told him many times that he didn't even choose an auspicious place to build a house. I really don't know why he built the Divine Realm above the Abyss Gate. But that Abyss Gate is really strange. It's inert, stable, harmless … Tsk tsk, this little girl's guess makes sense. Although that idiot Xing Chen didn't leave anything in his previous life, he might have really tried to build a bridge in his previous life. Heh, I have a guess! "
Xing Chen and I looked at the crazy sister. "Speak!"
"That Gate of the Abyss is indeed a relic of the bridge, and it might have been left behind by Xing Chen in his previous life." Sheerah winked at Xing Chen. "In your previous life, you risked your life to build a bridge to save your child, but in the end, you didn't succeed. The bridge collapsed, and the Cataclysm came. You were too heartbroken to seal your memories, and you exiled yourself. You only woke up when this season's Void cycle began. Although you don't remember what happened in the previous season, and you don't remember what bridge you built, you instinctively found that gate and built the Divine Realm on it — you subconsciously felt that it was your home. Hmm, I am indeed a sentimental girl. "
I stared at Sheerah in astonishment. This sister's brain hole wasn't any smaller than Qian Qian's, and the diameter of her brain hole was about the same as Qian Qian's. If her brain hole was as big as Qian Qian's, she might become the second Qian Qian!
Xing Chen also revealed a pensive expression. He thought about it very seriously, and finally nodded slightly. "Yes, perhaps that's the case."
"Huh?" Hilla raised her voice. "Are you serious? I just said it casually, how could it be so complicated … "
"No, every action of a Void Creature has a meaning," Xing Chen interrupted him. "Even if it's a subconscious action, there's a deeper meaning behind it. Now that I thought about it, there was indeed something wrong with how much I had paid attention to the Gate of the Chaos Abyss when I first established the God Realm. However, I didn't discover any aura that belonged to the 'previous cycle' that I had left behind in the Gate of the God Realm. This is the only doubt. If that ancient Gate was really a relic of the previous bridge, then I should have personally participated in it in my previous life. There should be traces of myself in the Gate, but … "
"You were still a greenhorn when you first established the God Realm. How would you have known how to sense things so intricately then?" Hilla spread her hands. Her understanding of Xing Chen was second to none in the Void. "By the time you understood how to sense such a weak aura, that Gate would have long been washed clean. You can count how many times you have purified and investigated it back then. You've seriously damaged the scene. "
"Perhaps." Xing Chen nodded and didn't say another word.
After a moment of silence, Hilla suddenly waved at me. "Little Brother, it's rare for me to be a guest here. Why don't you show me around?"
I looked at her in surprise. "Don't you have to go home to retrieve your things?"
I remembered that it would take a lot of effort to transport people and resources over from Huron. Furthermore, there would need to be Void Creatures to personally 'escort' them. I thought that this energetic Big Sister would leave just like that. I didn't expect her to have the intention to tour around here.
Hilla frowned. "You don't welcome me?"
I quickly waved my hands and my face was filled with joy. "Of course not! I welcome you. To be honest, there aren't many opportunities for you to come here. I have long wanted to introduce my place to you, but I never had the chance. "
Hilla revealed a satisfied smile. She casually glanced at Xing Chen. "Mm, you are much easier to get along with than this fellow. To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that my heart is already set and that I'm extremely loyal, I would have married you too."
I was speechless.
"Aha, I'm just joking. Look at your expression. I'll just stay here for a few days to recover my energy. This time, I charged all the way from Huron to attend the People's Conference. I'm as tired as a grandson … "
Once again, I was speechless.
The streets of the City of Shadows were still bustling with activity. People from various worlds — — whether they were visitors, residents, princes, nobles, heroes, starship captains who wanted to make a name for themselves or great mages who wanted to explore the truth of the world, or even ordinary travelers who wanted to experience a novel journey. No matter where they came from or what their beliefs were, they could all find things that could intoxicate them in this city. The Void Cataclysm, the Dark Tide of the Abyss, the Summit of the Three Pantheons, and the mysterious signal from the other side of the Abyss. These things were too far away and too profound. To the civilians living peacefully in the City of Shadows and 99.99% of the people in the Macro World, they were all meaningless concepts. They lived their own lives, thought about their own affairs, and knew nothing about things beyond their comprehension.
Mother Planet Gaia was still hanging upside down in the sky. One could almost distinguish every detail of the mountains and rivers hanging upside down in the sky above the City of Shadows. At first glance, it gave off a soul-stirring pressure. However, once one got used to it, it would become a rare and beautiful sight. This was a sight that couldn't be produced naturally. It was also the most famous scenery of the City of Shadows as the capital of all worlds. It was just like the broken floating continents and the unpredictable space layers in the galaxy.
However, it seemed that Big Sister Hilla wasn't too interested in this scene.
Her attention was always on the bustling pedestrians and the miscellaneous shops on the streets. The Supreme Ruler of the Protoss of Huron looked at the bustling streets with interest. Occasionally, she would look up at the magic Less … I mean, Ravens and Giant Dragons (of course, there were all kinds of flying machines as well). Her face was filled with joy. "Oh, it seems like it's livelier here?"
This wasn't the first time she came to the City of Shadows. In order to find Xing Chen to discuss the 'important matters of the race', coupled with her interest in me as a 'new member of the race', she had actually come here once or twice in the past two years. Moreover, she had visited the capital city of the Empire along the way. However, the time she could stay here was very short. Secondly, the interval between each visit was very long. Moreover, the changes in the City of Shadows could be said to be changing with each passing day. Naturally, she felt that this place was livelier every time.
With the lively Ravens from the Space Administration, the scale of the Macro World was expanding every day. Although the City of Shadows was still called a 'city', it had now expanded to the size of a small country. Its core was still a huge city, but there was a much more vast land outside. A few satellite cities were being built, and Xi Weisi had plans to build other cities specifically to accommodate the increasing number of visitors from the Macro World.
Abyss Schilling wasn't interested in such a stroll, so he returned to the research center. I accompanied the two Void Bosses as we strolled around the bustling streets of the City of Shadows. We set off from the military district and headed towards the outskirts of the city, passing by a few commercial streets along the way. Hilla and Xing Chen were both experienced and knowledgeable people. They weren't too interested in the strange races and dazzling things here. What really interested them was the way the Empire integrated and managed these mortal races, allowing them to live in a city, and the new atmosphere created by the collision of so many different cultures. A few of the sociological phenomena in the City of Shadows would be enough for sociologists on Earth to study for half a year.
"With so many races, their culture, beliefs, living habits, and even the foundation of survival are completely different. When they mix together, it creates a surge in culture," Hilla commented in a professional manner. "Look at these shops, many of them are forms of cooperation between different races. Commerce is an extension of culture. I believe that the commerce in the City of Shadows is something that cannot be seen anywhere else."
"You seem to know quite a lot." I looked at her in surprise.
"There is a similar exchange world under the Huron God Realm, although it isn't as grand as here," Hilla said as she pointed at Xing Chen. "The Star Field God Realm also has a special space like this, which allows the various mortal races to interact. Of course, we make it on a very small scale. Basically, it's a small place similar to the Hall of Valhalla and Heaven Mountain. It allows the heroes who sacrificed themselves for God to have a place to revive and enjoy life. At the same time, it also allows them to prepare to integrate into the God Realm. However, as long as the different races live together, the atmosphere is similar. As long as there isn't any fighting, it will be harmonious and lively. "
Looking at the City of Shadows in front of us, then thinking about the God Realm, a picture of a new version of the Bible suddenly appeared in my mind. The heroes and believers who ascended to the Hall of Valhalla and Heaven Mountain lived a beautiful life of playing cards and chatting with others, sitting on the roadside selling tea eggs, and freeloading on air conditioners in supermarkets … I think I know where Liliana's inspiration for revising the Bible every day came from. She must have written it by comparing the City of Shadows with the God Realm!
I often wandered around the City of Shadows with my family, so the citizens here were already familiar with the "Emperor who wandered around without any airs." Along the way, we didn't attract any attention, but people kept greeting us along the way. When these people saw two strangers following me, many of them looked at us curiously. Xing Chen and Hilla obviously had a close relationship with the "Emperor." It seemed that many people were curious about their identities. I had a feeling that the major news agencies in the City of Shadows would be busy again in the next few days.
When we left the downtown area, Hilla had a lot of strange things in her hands. I didn't expect that this Void Gang Leader would have the same habit as other women: purchasing, collecting, and even if she didn't use it, she would first hold it in her hands to occupy a space. Perhaps the reason why all women in the Myriad Worlds loved to purchase things was because of her "information disturbance"?
"You have quite a lot of interesting things here." Hilla chewed on a fried skewer as she used a clumsy method to stuff grilled squid into Xing Chen's mouth. She exclaimed happily, "It's quite lively over at my place, but most of the children prefer peace and quiet. The central area of the God Realm is a little too boring. Xing Chen's family is even more so. He even purposely placed the Brilliant Divine Court and the 'Big Courtyard' on an isolated continent. Doesn't he find it boring? "
Xing Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he was being poked by the bamboo skewer. He explained, "I like peace and quiet …"
Unknowingly, we had already left the busiest area. There were some places in the middle that weren't that interesting (such as factories and the like) that weren't that interesting. We directly used a civilian teleportation device to teleport to those places. When Hilla finally finished eating the snacks in her hands, we realized that we had already arrived at the Divine Temple District. Jingle's World Tree stood tall in front of us. The surrounding air was abnormally fresh, and the entire world seemed to be brimming with warm and beautiful light.
This was the effect of the Goddess of Life's aura. Jingle was basically a walking air freshener.
The Tree of Life seemed to be performing a routine self-examination. Mysterious runes were quickly moving on its majestic trunk. A pale green mist of light spread down from the crown of the tree and gradually gathered in the center of the plaza. A soft sound that sounded like wind chimes and singing echoed in the air. On the most eye-catching part of the World Tree's trunk, a line of words that brimmed with a holy aura floated in the air: You have used several days to boot up. You have been defeated by all the management systems in the network segment. Why don't you hurry up and uninstall this plug-in to speed up the boot up process?
"… Jingle installed some very strange plug-ins in the World Tree, and it seems like she doesn't know how to uninstall them …"
Before I could finish my sentence, I saw advertisements popping up outside the trunk of the World Tree. As the advertisements popped up, there was even an error message. On the top right corner of the red notification window, there were more than 20 notifications popping up. A trembling pointer was currently ignoring these notifications one by one … Under the continuous persuasion of the Shallow Shallow, Jingle finally began to use the mouse to control the universe.
But actually, it was more or less the same. That little thing's usual operation didn't seem to be that agile. Perhaps the accuracy of the mouse was higher. But which genius created this mouse that was compatible with the world management system? Icetis?
Xing Chen and Hilla looked up at the World Tree silently for a while. The latter seemed to be trying to liven up the atmosphere. "This little thing is still as unreliable as before, but she has already learned how to install plug-ins …"
"It's just a counterfeit system that was bundled with the upgrade. I recognize this system, Qian Yuhao used to endorse it. I grounded him for more than 20 years because of this."
"…" Just how chaotic is the management of the God Realm in certain areas!
At this moment, the World Tree's routine self-check and reboot finally ended. The temple square gradually returned to normal. I saw a little green figure dashing over from a distance, accompanied by a sharp cry, "Ah — Jun — Paji!"
I pulled Jingle off my face. Fortunately, my body had completely mutated. Otherwise, if it was three or four years ago, every time Jingle pounced on me, there would definitely be a human-shaped mark left on my face.
The little one's wings were pinched and lifted in midair, but she was still in high spirits. She stretched her neck with all her might and turned her head to lick my finger (this was a way of expressing intimacy, although I didn't understand what was wrong with it). Then, she looked up to see Xingchen and Sheila. "Ah, Father God and Stepmother God are here too! Jingle sends her regards! "
Sheerah immediately jumped more than two meters high. "Who taught her that? What does Stepmother God mean! "
"Don't even think about it. Half of the people in the family are suspects. They teach Jingle all sorts of weird things every day when they have nothing to do." I thought about the bunch of crazy girls in my family who had never been on the right track. I felt that it was a miracle that Jingle was still so innocent after being influenced by such an atmosphere for four years. Then, I saw a few other familiar figures walking over from the temple square. They were wearing the uniform of the Imperial Army, and at the same time, they had the unique insignia of the research institute's staff. The one leading them was a white-haired old man … Are they the ancestors? Why did they come to the temple?
While I was thinking, the ancestors had already walked up to me. Of course, the first one was Anthus. The old man seemed to be in good spirits, and he had a cheerful smile on his face. Perhaps it was because there were so many things waiting for him to do that this old man who "couldn't sit still" felt motivated to live. He looked curiously at Father God and King Huron, but it was obvious that he wasn't too interested in the two strangers. He only smiled and greeted me. "Your Majesty."
The ancestors strictly followed the hierarchy of the Empire and made themselves ordinary members of the Empire. They refused all special treatment, so when they saw me and Sandora, they would always address me as Your Majesty. But after all, they were the ancestors. Even if I was an emperor who didn't have any inheritance relationship with them, I couldn't afford to receive such a formal greeting from the elders. So, before the ancestors could greet me, I quickly diverted their attention. "Oh, hello, hello. Let me introduce you. This is the Father God of the Star Realm and the God King of the Huron Protoss. You should know them from the Empire's database … "
After I introduced both sides, the ancestors looked surprised. Anthus also looked curiously at Xing Chen and Hilla.
Hilla looked curiously at the ancestors of the Schilling family, and the expression in her eyes suddenly changed.
