Chapter: Chapter 552
“You really have to thank me this time, how do you plan to repay me for saving your life?”
When Bai Ling regained consciousness from her daze, the first words she heard were from Leticia’s teasing.
Opening her eyes, she saw the familiar ceiling of her bedroom. She was lying in her own bed, covered by her own blanket. In the room, another girl was floating in mid-air, doing something with a translucent rhombic crystal.
“I… I think I was captured? By people from the Divine Throne?” Bai Ling sat up from the bed, clutching her head. She felt completely weak, as if she had been through a great battle.
“More accurately, it was your mom. Yes, your literal mom.” Leticia put the rhombic crystal back into her pocket and landed on the ground. She said to Bai Ling with a helpless expression, “Congratulations, your mom is still alive.”
Right, I think I was captured by my mom… Bai Ling’s eyes dimmed again. Her mom, who had been missing for so many years, reappeared only to capture her. If this happened to an ordinary person, they might have a complete emotional breakdown.
“Did you save me, Leti? Did you fight? Are you injured?”
“Do I look injured right now? Have some confidence in your old flame, okay? I saved you by steamrolling through the Divine Throne base.” Leticia snorted twice, saying proudly.
“The Divine Throne has so many…” Bai Ling’s eyes widened. She remembered who the enemies were when she was captured. They were all gods!
Even with three of them sent to deal with Yin, the remaining ones could easily control her by just distracting her.
There was no other way. Without Leticia’s assistance, Bai Ling’s combat power had a significant drawback. Being besieged by so many gods, she really had no chance of escaping.
This was not a problem that could be solved by consciousness or skill. They had five gods there to deal with you, and what could you do?
Bai Ling couldn’t even defeat one god in a one-on-one fight, and now she had to deal with five, one of whom was her mom, who had similar combat power but was more well-rounded. Could she fight?
No way!
Bai Ling was probably completely stunned back then. Before she could recover from the shock that her mom was still alive, she was knocked down by the gods.
And now Leticia was telling her that the Divine Throne had been defeated.
A total of eight gods’ combat power!
If Bai Ling maxed out all the power she could gather, she could only muster five or six gods, and that would include Youming Flora who hadn’t come out of her seal!
How did she win?
“Uh huh? You don’t believe me?” Leticia felt hurt by Bai Ling’s suspicious expression. Isn’t my combat power that hard to believe?
I, Leticia, am a dignified Demon King. Even without considering that useless world consciousness identity, I was the Dream God and the proxy Dragon God back then, with excellent combat power!
Leticia pinched Bai Ling’s cheek fiercely, saying unhappily, “Have more faith in me, okay? I’m super strong!”
“Okay, I believe you then.” Bai Ling, whose face was being mercilessly abused, conceded unclearly. Anyway, she had been rescued, and how she was rescued wasn’t a question that needed an answer.
“Hmph, that’s more like it.” Leticia patted Bai Ling’s face and showed a satisfied expression. It couldn’t be helped, the Demon King lady was such an easily satisfied girl. “You should continue resting. I still have some things to do.”
Leticia also wanted to spend more time with Bai Ling, but time was of the essence. She had to quickly understand the world operation guide that “that person” had sent her in her busy schedule. If she couldn’t learn this, it would be over.
The good news was that under the current circumstances, even if four worlds exploded simultaneously, Leticia wouldn’t die. The bad news was that she could probably only save herself, and everyone else she cherished… none of them would survive.
“‘The energy remaining in this world is enough for you to create a new world again, so don’t feel pressured.’ Those were her exact words.”
She seemed to only care about whether this world could continue to exist, and not about the other people in the world.
But for Leticia, losing these people was completely unacceptable. Why did she save the world? Wasn’t it so that her family and friends could live?
As for herself… it actually wasn’t that important anymore.
“What is this?” Bai Ling asked when she saw Leticia taking out the translucent crystal again and closing her eyes to meditate.
“Something that can save lives. It’s a bit troublesome to explain,” Leticia replied with her eyes closed. “The crisis of world destruction hasn’t been resolved yet, and we still have to work hard for it.”
Saving Bai Ling by defeating the Divine Throne was just a relatively important side quest. The main quest, in the end, was to save this world that was already shouting, ‘I’m going to explode, I’m going to explode!’
If this main quest failed, everything that had been done before would be in vain. Bai Ling would still die, and everything Leticia wanted to protect would disappear in the big explosion.
“Is that so… Is there anything I can help with?”
“You should just lie on the bed and rest well. The stellar energy extracted from you a few days ago is already sufficient. It’s not time for you to supplement it yet. Besides, you’re not the only one who can extract stellar energy.”
Bai Xing seemed to have realized something in the past few days. She had gone into the world rift and started to replace Bai Ling as the stellar energy extractor, and that stellar energy seemed to be being used.
Leticia could only reasonably guess that “that person” must have said something to Bai Xing, asking her to maintain the supply of stellar energy.
After all, although the star sea tides composed of stellar energy were terrifying, in their normal state, they were indeed a very useful energy, whether for combat or for production… at least for the woman whose name Leticia hadn’t been told yet.
In fact, the crystal that woman gave to Leticia also recorded the method of using stellar energy, and there were quite a few methods, which indicated that stellar energy had a very wide range of uses.
“Oh, right, Xiao Ya is also back. But her experiences these past few days have given her some psychological trauma. If you’re really bored, you should go comfort her.”
Yes, after rescuing Bai Ling, Leticia also conveniently brought Xiao Ya out.
It couldn’t be called “bringing out”; Xiao Ya was sent out by Bai Xing directly. The意思 was probably that since you took Bai Ling away, Bai Ya is also useless, so just take her back together to make up the numbers.
It emphasized a barbaric approach.
Xiao Ya hadn’t been mistreated much during this period. No matter how heartless Bai Xing was, she wouldn’t treat her other daughter like that. Of course, the more likely guess was that after taking Xiao Ya back, she didn’t pay much attention to this daughter of hers.
She was fed three meals a day until she was full, and people were assigned to watch her so she wouldn’t escape. After all, Xiao Ya didn’t have strong power like Bai Ling. Apart from her special sealing ability, this girl was no different from an ordinary person.
So Bai Xing directly assigned two muscular older sisters to guard Xiao Ya around the clock. Even if their special abilities were sealed, Xiao Ya still couldn’t defeat these two.
Could you expect a girl like Xiao Ya with her small arms and legs to fight those two-meter-tall, muscular women?
“I’ve also figured out the source of Xiao Ya’s abilities. How should I put it, the principle is a bit complicated, and I don’t know where Bai Xing found this ability.” Leticia rubbed her temples. Thinking about the ability on Xiao Ya made her head hurt a little.
Xiao Ya’s sealing ability was not a divine authority, but a rather simplified imitation of the world consciousness’s divine authority. However, even a simplified imitation was not at a level that an ordinary girl like Xiao Ya could master.
So, at the very beginning, Xiao Ya didn’t show any abnormality. Only when she completely lost consciousness would this ability show a tip of the iceberg.
However, as Xiao Ya grew older, she could also actively use this power.
The question was… who was Xiao Ya’s mother?
Perhaps… it was this world.
Discarding the strange feeling that popped into her mind, Leticia focused her attention on interpreting the crystal again. “After this crisis passes, we can have a period of true peace.”
“Yeah, let’s have it together.”
…
“It’s really heating up.” The woman, who had awakened from her slumber, swept her gaze over the gods and looked at the four worlds that were already very close. She gently pressed her hands towards them.
An invisible force, carrying the stellar energy between the world rifts, filled the gaps between the worlds, temporarily offsetting the trend of the worlds moving closer to each other.
In terms of control over stellar energy, this woman who called herself a traveler was actually so terrifying that one couldn’t help but wonder what she didn’t know or couldn’t do.
“Well then, it’s time for me to get active. I’ll deal with these parts corrupted by the abyss.”
From her vantage point, she could clearly see the unnatural gray spots covering the four worlds. These were areas eroded by the power of the abyss.
In normal worlds, these things were considered mortal enemies of life. However, in this wondrous world, the threat of these things was not even that significant.
Very few world consciousnesses divided their divine authority into so many parts and gave them to their children. This naturally led to insufficient control of the world by the world consciousness itself, but it brought an unexpected benefit… that is, the efficiency in dealing with these outer-world monsters was exceptionally high.
These outer-world monsters might not even be able to defeat ordinary creatures in this world, let alone fight those warlike gods.
After all, the gods in this world were all full of martial virtue. Their first thought when encountering a problem was to fight. If they couldn’t fight, they would think about running. Well, this is another point to criticize the cowardly Dream God lady, she was a disgrace to the gods.
Cough, in short, during the age of gods, these outer-world monsters could not make any waves. They were often killed by a passing god as soon as they appeared, and only after the gods were sealed by the traveler could they live a little longer.
But even so, they lived a little longer. After preserving the four worlds with her own power, the traveler cleaned the four worlds again, and at the same time, drew safe zones within the four worlds, protecting those weak nascent races with her power.
The giant barrier of the Orc tribe was her doing.
As for the places where the outer-world monsters lived, they were almost all desolate and uninhabited places, with no trace of life. These monsters squatted there, doing nothing but eating sand, appearing harmless.
But no matter how harmless they appeared, the new worlds had no place for these parasites.
The traveler slowly raised her hand, and stellar energy gathered in her hand. Four items of various forms were gradually created by her.
They were four items made entirely of beautiful crystals. If Leticia were here, she would definitely recognize the crystal lotus she had defeated at a glance.
The crystal lotus, painstakingly created by humans, was actually just a casual creation in the traveler’s hands.
“Go, deal with those things.” The traveler waved her hand, throwing the four crystal items into the four worlds, letting them clear the outer-world monsters within the worlds.
The four items had now lost the ability to suppress other powers, as that power belonged to Leticia and had now returned to her.
But even so, they themselves still possessed terrifying combat power. The shapes of the items were particularly advantageous for dealing with the strangely shaped outer-world monsters.
Moreover, because they were not life forms, the most powerful killing moves of the outer-world monsters had no effect on them. It could be said that these items were perfect killing machines.
Whether they were used to deal with disobedient gods before or outer-world monsters now, it was the same.
As the four items fell into the four worlds, the traveler began another job. She needed to peel off the useless areas of the worlds to reduce Leticia’s workload.
For the four major races currently, after the four worlds were completely merged, the area was a bit excessively large. It would be better to cut some off to make Leticia’s subsequent work easier.
Less area meant less debugging pressure.
“Hmm, this area can be removed, this can also be removed, this can be built as a node… this place can be the center.”
While thinking about what to do next in her mind, the traveler recorded the plan in the crystal in her hand, intending to give the plan inside to Leticia later.
“Hoo, I hope everything goes smoothly.”
