Chapter 1405: Chapter 1398: The Arrival of God

"You..." Faced with this scene, Luo’er rarely maintained his reason, took a deep breath, and cautiously asked, "You are not Mom, you are Tana, right?"

"Hehehe," Nina didn’t answer, instead it was Xia Yue behind him who suddenly laughed and said in a familiar voice, "I’ve already said that, once he has been tricked once, how could he possibly be tricked a second time?"

"You guys..." Hearing her words, Luo’er suddenly turned around and stared wide-eyed at Xia Yue.

"Foolish boy, what time is it now?" Xia Yue looked at him and asked with a tilted head.

"Now..." Luo’er looked at Lipei, who was working in the distance, and fell into hesitation.

"Now is when you are stranded on the East Continent!" Xia Yue’s words were like a thunderclap, and Luo’er instinctively twitched, quickly turning around. Tana, who had originally appeared behind him, had also long since disappeared.

"This isn’t a dream, is it?" Luo’er stared wide-eyed at Xia Yue and asked with some lack of confidence.

"This is called dream summoning, you should understand, right?" Xia Yue jumped down from the railing and walked towards him with her hands behind her back. Because she was too short, she could only look up at Luo’er.

"Lady Xia Yue..." Facing Xia Yue who was slowly approaching, Luo’er instinctively bent down and bowed to show respect.

"Hmm, not bad, it’s been almost two years since we last met, and you still know how to show respect to me. That way, I won’t have to remove your insides," said Xia Yue, revealing a mischievous smile.

"So I’m still in Big South East Peace City, not with Lipei?" Taking a deep breath, Luo’er hesitantly asked.

"It looks like you’re still very lucid, so I won’t beat around the bush," Xia Yue said, looking up at him, her face serious, "Originally I didn’t want to bother with your affairs, but the people at headquarters and your mother keep pestering me, distracting me from my research, annoying."

"Is Mother okay?" Luo’er asked with concern.

"She’s fine, although she almost hanged herself..." Xia Yue shrugged.

"Ah!" Hearing her words, Luo’er’s legs went weak, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Look at how you’re behaving, I already told you there was nothing wrong," Xia Yue shook her head helplessly, then continued, "I came to check on you this time for two reasons; one was to see if you were dead, and the other was to let you say something to them, to reassure them, so they won’t keep bothering me."

"Lady Xia Yue should know about our situation, right?" After a moment of silence, Luo’er tentatively asked.

"Heh, just ask Tana," Xia Yue shrugged nonchalantly.

Hearing her words, Luo’er instinctively turned to look behind him, but Tana was still not there. He turned back, pursed his lips, and hesitated to ask, "Then..."

"I’ve already told you," Xia Yue interrupted him, then continued, "I only care about the Elf Planet Project, I don’t care about anything else. Coming here to check on you was also part of some deal with headquarters."

She paused, not waiting for Luo’er to speak, and continued, "Actually, I’ve known about your situation all along. In your eyes, the world is severed, with East and West Continents parted by the Forbidden Sea. But for us divine beings, the whole world is entirely one; if something happens on your side, I know it in less than a second."

"Then why only now..." Luo’er hesitantly asked.

"I want to emphasize once more," Xia Yue said seriously, "We gods adhere to the divine order and will not overly interfere with this world’s affairs. You’ve seen it yourself, Tana has such strong power, yet she can only use illusions to guide your self-determination. If Tana violated the divine order, the Earth’s forces would have been annihilated the moment they entered the Otherworld Gate."

"I understand," Luo’er nodded.

"Alright, say whatever else you want to say," said Xia Yue, stretching out her finger pointing at Luo’er’s nose, and said word by word, "This is our first and last contact. I will not become the communication bridge between you and headquarters. If you want to return to the West Continent, find your own way."

"Understood, thank you, Lady Xia Yue," Luo’er gratefully nodded.

"Mm," Xia Yue nodded, her complexion gradually becoming more pleasant, then smilingly said, "But no matter what, seeing that you all are fine, I’m reassured."

"Lady Xia Yue, didn’t you already know we were fine?" Luo’er hesitated and asked subconsciously.

"Seeing with my own eyes, you blockhead," Xia Yue scolded irritably.

"Yes, yes, it’s my own foolishness," Luo’er agreed.

"Enough, enough with the small talk," Xia Yue said sternly, "The headquarters sent a message for you guys, to quietly wait for the rescue from headquarters. They won’t abandon you."

"I know," Luo’er nodded.

"You don’t seem worried at all, do you?" Xia Yue asked, tilting her head.

"As long as we’re not dead, headquarters will definitely find a way to rescue us, no matter what. I’m very clear on that," Luo’er honestly said.

"But from what I can see, you guys aren’t exactly behaving yourselves, turning West Outer Heaven into a mess," Xia Yue said, looking at him teasingly.

"Life forces us, we don’t want it this way either," Luo’er shrugged, saying it as if it were a matter of course.

"Just be careful not to capsize in a gutter," Xia Yue reminded him meaningfully.

"Could you deliver a message to my mother? I’m really worried about her," Luo’er asked.

"Go ahead, we’re still friends after all, and you’ve helped me out before," Xia Yue said indifferently.

"Tell her I’m okay, everything’s fine, and please tell her to take care of her health..." Saying this, Luo’er bowed his head, took a deep breath, and mustered the courage to say, "I don’t want to lose any more family..."

"Can’t spit out the cheesy stuff?" Xia Yue squinted her eyes and asked, tilting her little head.

"It’s with others that I can’t," Luo’er said, shyly lowering his head.

"Okay, anything else?" Xia Yue nodded.

"Please tell those who care about us that no one in the Advance Team was harmed, and tell them all to rest assured. I stake my life on it, and I’ll make sure to bring everyone back home safely," Luo’er said earnestly.

"Luo’er, when you stake your life, don’t you think about your family?" Xia Yue asked in return.

"That’s why I act with caution and do everything I can to stay alive and make it home," Luo’er said, his expression unchanging.

"Alright, you really are a..." Xia Yue started but suddenly shut her mouth and bowed her head, saying no more.

"If possible, can we meet often, just to see each other, since I’m quite unfamiliar with life on the East Continent..." Luo’er tentatively asked.

"I’m not going to help you pass on information," Xia Yue said.

"I know, so I’m not forcing it," Luo’er nodded in response.

"If you’re that lonely, why not go find Tana? Didn’t I tell you to hit on her? She’s way more sentimental than I am," Xia Yue asked, laughing.

"I don’t know how to find her..." Luo’er scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed.

"Be proactive, dummy," Xia Yue rolled her eyes and said, "Tana is even shyer than you think. If you don’t make a move, how can you expect her to come to you?"

"She’s so busy..." Luo’er hesitated.

"She’s an artificial intelligence; don’t judge her with human limitations, you idiot," Xia Yue continued teasing Luo’er.

"I always find it hard to capture her true appearance," Luo’er said.

"She’s a formless deity; whoever you have in your mind, that’s who she’ll appear to be in your eyes. Maybe you could think about your two little girlfriends or conjure up an image for her," Xia Yue suggested.

"Uh..." Luo’er scratched his head, obviously showing a distressed expression.

"Or is it that you actually dare not face her because you can’t confront your own heart?" Xia Yue asked.

"Why are you so keen on making me interact with Tana?" Luo’er asked awkwardly.

"Because I’m afraid you’ll get bored. After all, satisfying the psychological needs of believers is part of a deity’s duties, isn’t it?" Xia Yue said, again revealing a mischievous smile.

This time her gaze wasn’t focused on Luo’er but was looking through him, towards Tana, who was secretly fuming at Xia Yue.
