“Farewell!”

【421】Let the road extend

The three-year-old and Ilitia were walking on a street with few pedestrians.

Although the actual affected area is not as large as imagined, in theory many people should be able to return to their homes after recovering.

But in fact, the vast majority of people are now concentrated in specific areas.

Some of them have suffered real disasters, their homes have been destroyed, or their relatives, friends, and neighbors have died.

Another part is because an organization called [Mingjie] is distributing relief supplies there for free. As long as you sign, someone will give you a complete set of clothes and three days of food for free.

After word spread that “those plants that had covered everyone’s houses overnight seemed to be the plants that produced the Holy Star Fruit,” people who had personally experienced the destructive power of monsters transformed after eating the Holy Star Fruit began to monitor each other and strictly prohibited each other from approaching those plants.

After all, the withered and rotten plants were only the ones that originally served as a barrier to surround Ekatoz, but these vine-like plants full of dark purple fruits were still scattered across the buildings and public facilities of Ekatoz.

Even in the areas where people are gathered now, there are safe zones created by (the sickle-weasels disguised as) Lightning Star Spirits using (magnetic field currents disguised as) Star Spirit Techniques to destroy the vines.

Thanks to this, the disguises the two had put in place to avoid attracting attention seemed a little unnecessary.

The man with his hair combed back, wearing sunglasses, a white short-sleeved shirt and beach pants as if he was going on a beach vacation, and flip-flops on his feet felt that this outfit might be a little too mature for him.

The girl next to him, who was only half a head shorter than him, was wearing a white dress, with her fair and smooth calves exposed, and her feet painted with green nail polish and stepping on open-toed sandals, looking pure and beautiful. The girl’s face was covered by the same frog-shaped glasses, and with the light makeup done at the last minute and the bust restrained by the chest binding, her temperament and image changed from a beautiful witch to a girl on a trip.

If you ask a male companion what he thinks of Ilitia’s current disguise, his answer is that she is beautiful and that this is what his ideal beautiful girl looks like.

As for love between men and women, there is absolutely none.

Although this look really tickled him, he was distracted by his overly mature outfit, and having seen her whole body, he excluded her from his list of “destination marriage partners (child-like mentality limitation)”.

He is a face control, but he doesn’t like big ○.

Maybe it’s because his biological mother is a giant, although he is now seeking comfort from a fake mother, he still refuses to find someone who has too many similarities with his biological mother.

“The streets are very quiet.”

Ilitia said.

“It seems that no one has seen Xudora. The scene is quite different from what I expected.”

“I saw them earlier, they seemed very worried about Mi Jiexi’s condition. She must still be in the hospital or something like that.”

The three-year-old responded.

“But none of that matters anymore.”

Ilitia walked side by side with him, holding his arm, making the two of them look more like a couple on a date.

“You’re in such a good mood.”

The three-year-old sighed as he looked at the other man with a smile that had not disappeared since he changed his clothes… no, since he woke up.

“Of course.”

Ilitia turned her head and met his gaze.

“I’m very happy that you’ve been working hard for me for so long. In order to repay your efforts, I have to work hard too – isn’t this something that should be taken for granted?”

After understanding your persistence, even just walking together on this ordinary road is enough to make me feel more secure than in that palace.

Ok?

A small question mark arose in the three-year-old’s heart.

What have I worked hard for?

One thing must be explained here, and that is the reason why he followed Ilitia.

It’s not love at first sight, nor is it an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Those things that appear and disappear in special effects are just illusions for a child who is only attentive to things that he cares about (obviously not including women).

The strong emotion that the other person felt when holding his hand was the reason why he chose to follow Ilitia temporarily.

Great to see you again.

I need you.

These were probably the two emotions he felt.

For a child in a strange place, being helped by others can undoubtedly gain a lot of his trust.

However, for a three-year-old who has been taught that “when others are in trouble, you should help them within your ability,” saying “I need you” can bring him a sense of security that is equivalent to that gained by kind help.

The sense of security that comes from someone being willing to show kindness to you and the sense of security that comes from someone needing you are equivalent in this person’s heart.

It’s amazing to say.

Alcaide, who was rubbed out by Yang Weiwu not long ago from the former Ilitia, gained the above two kinds of security.

The current Ilitia also provides these two kinds of reassurance to Arcaid, who has regressed to a state similar to when they first met.

Her kindness was to dress him up and disguise him in order to prevent him from getting into trouble because of his appearance that was known to most people. Even though the three-year-old child did not understand the meaning of this, he could still feel her kindness.

Her expression of “I need you” was conveyed from the moment she held his hand after waking up.

With no memories, this man chose to follow Illitia twice. Using the terms in the Imperial Hall, this could be called the destiny of the stars.

The black luxury car sped along the road, and the two men passed by it in a parallel line.

Oh, no, maybe that’s not the right word –

“Those two people just now… Phosphorus, do they look familiar to you?”

“Who is it? Lady Alice, I was just concentrating on driving.”

“Go back, right now.”

The second princess pondered for a moment and gave orders to her subordinates.

“…Your Highness, changing direction here is not in compliance with the traffic regulations of the Imperial Palace.”

“I have a feeling that if I miss it, something terrible will happen. Maybe the other party is a villain who sneaked into the Imperial Hall and tried to attack the royal family!”

“That’s not the case. Judgment of the Star Spirits… forget it.”

After all, he was his master, and there were no other vehicles on the road, so Phosphorus chose to turn the car around and drive back.

Alice opened the car window and shouted at the backs of the two people approaching: “Hey – the two in front!”

“Ms. Tia, why did you suddenly pull me and run?”

“If you don’t run now, this road will end here.”

“?”

“As long as you don’t stop, the road will continue to extend.”

“?”

“So… don’t stop!”

【422】Visiting Rongyanlin

Let’s not talk about the conversation between Arcaid and Illitia that makes people want to sing Flower of Hope, and let’s return our attention to Yang Weiwu.

The scorching heat distorted the thin air, and the golden and red light formed a world that was impossible for humans to peek into.

This is the center of the star, a sacred place longed for by those who pursue the ultimate of the star.

Of course, to put it in layman’s terms, this is the core of the earth.

The guaranteed high temperature of 4,000 degrees Celsius prevents all mortals from snooping. Even technological creations, with the current highest level of civilization on this planet, would be stuck in the process of forcibly digging out a passage.

However, unlike other planets where there are no magical powers, there are spiritual life forms here that humans call [Star Spirits].

Its existence is equivalent to the carrier of planetary consciousness after division. If a certain number of them are gathered and the technology is in place, you can try to make a set of Yatales or Gaia Aguru.

The scarlet elemental elf breathed out terrifying heat. Even though this world did not have the concept of elements, as an elf it was able to convert some energy of similar properties into fire elements. It was just a matter of conversion rate.

Yang Weiwu’s method of obtaining energy through the flow of elements on the planet was based on the development of technology by reverse engineering based on this principle.

The difference is that he uses the Yatales Summoner as the core and introduction, and relies on the power of Otan to perform technical simulation.

The four elemental elves all played a significant role in the early days, but now that the “start-up capital” is sufficient and the specialized free-style development has been completed, Yang Weiwu has already given them a holiday.

The Absolute Cliff Scorpion has no intention of traveling alone. He usually lives in the Side Bricks and sleeps. Occasionally he wakes up to dig up some hard stones to absorb and transform the Absolute Cliff elements.

The swirling sea octopus swims freely in the ocean that humans ignore, and occasionally brings back some seafood that Yang Weiwu basically doesn’t eat and treasures from under the sea.

Hurricane Kite was chasing the storm, and there was no chance that he would come back before he took the initiative to look for it.

And Rongyanlin…

Eat, eat, eat! Me? Eat, eat, eat!

Eat high-calorie foods!

Magma to eat!

The stars have to eat too!

?Yes, Fire Elemental Elves are born to eat!

It was probably with such momentum that this elemental spirit, which looked like a small dinosaur but was actually a salamander, was eating its feast there completely by itself, and Yang Weiwu, who had been standing next to it, had ignored it until now.

The pure white fingertips tapped on Rong Yanlin’s head.

“You’ve eaten so much, have you found any problems?”

Because the light novel written based on the information of this world did not describe the origin of the so-called star disaster, Yang Weiwu had his own analysis of this thing.

Through research and comparison of the knowledge in the power of the Shadow Emperor, and with the confirmation of the Supreme God of Instinct, Yang Weiwu can basically confirm that this thing is a spiritual life form native to this planet, and is similar in nature to the Protoss.

However, unlike the Protoss who even host the [Planetary Offensive Consciousness] and [Planetary Defense Consciousness], the Star Disaster does indeed have only the will to destroy, and its energy properties are very unfriendly to most life forms.

Such an existence does exist in the knowledge passed down by the Shadow Emperor.

Some planets with strong planetary consciousness will produce such life as a cleansing device when their native species suffer a massive (this definition is based on the subjective judgment of the planetary consciousness) foreign invasion, indiscriminately cleansing the dominant civilization that has been helplessly destroyed by the invaded species.

Of course, because the output is a bit too high, the result will generally be a major reshuffle of all races on the planet, so even the planetary consciousness will not make such a choice when everything is irreversible.

Because he didn’t understand why such a spiritual life form with the sole purpose of destruction would be born at this time, Yang Weiwu himself assessed the damage caused to the planet by the development of human technology in the Tian Empire, while letting Rong Yanlin eat below to ask the star spirits what happened.

“G–Hmm!”

After making a somewhat silly sound, Rong Yanlin turned his head, his big eyes filled with a little doubt.

Yang Weiwu repeated the previous question.

“Goo-“

“The Star Spirits don’t know either? There haven’t been any alien invading creatures in the Celestial Empire, so the damage isn’t serious. So why did that thing come into being at this time?”

“Goo-“

“When you are sure there is an undercover agent and you look everywhere but can’t find him, does that mean you are the undercover agent? This idea is good, but didn’t that thing already exist before I came here?”

“Ow—”

“Okay, okay, I won’t disturb you while you’re eating. Just watch from here. There are three roads that are obvious enough for humans to come here. In order to ensure Yatales’s adjustments and to prevent them from pushing this planet into the fire pit, you have to guard this place well.”

“Well–“

The fire elemental elf responded, grabbed a small star spirit and swung it in his hand.

Yang Weiwu looked at the star spirit whose short claws looked a bit like jelly and chuckled.

The golden-red molten flame elements accumulated in the center of the star, quietly burning several roots that tried to penetrate deeper.

After Yang Weiwu briefly communicated with the planetary consciousness of this planet, he immediately gave the four elemental elves a safety certificate.

They are meant to protect the planet and have no other thoughts. As long as they exist, they will clean up some dirty things.

Only after Yang Weiwu reminded them did they consider whether the actions and curiosity of the native creatures would lead to disaster.

But when it comes to fighting evil alien invaders, they will still do it even if they are not reminded.

No one stipulates that elements can only deal with bugs.

To this day, Rong Yanlin, who has been stopped no less than a hundred times, still lives his life at his own pace.

The pure black disaster that was born on this planet but is foreign to the center of the planet is entrenched in the very core.

Tendrils of energy passed through the lava and tentatively approached the man and the elf.
