âThis salt-baked purple walnut kernel is a new product I picked at the Green Shade Estate trade fair this time.â Alice took out a few bags of snacks and gave another to Adeline, âEveryone tries it.â
Adeline tasted it and said in surprise, âItâs delicious, Alice.â
âReally good.â Athena nodded approvingly.
âItâs hard to stop eating.â Kia usually liked to eat this kind of small snack, and she finished half a bag at once, âNo wonder Chen Rui likes to eat so much. Itâs really troublesome for our little princess to make a special trip to the Green Shade Estate.â
The little succubus maid revealed the real intention of Alice as the lord who did not hesitate to leave the Dark Moon to go to the Green Shade Estate to buy this salt-baked purple walnut kernel. Alice blushed and retorted, âTeacher Zola also likes it. â
âItâs a pity that Chen Rui took Paglio and the others to the Ghastly Floating Land for training. Zola went to Pythonâs kingdom for closed-door training.â Athena knew Aliceâs thoughts and smiled, âNone of them could taste it immediately.â
âYeah.â Aliceâs mood was a little down. This time she rushed back excitedly, but Chen Rui was not there. âBut itâs great that everyone likes it, especially Duoduo.â
Duoduo on the side had already finished eating the few in her hands, and spoke up, âSister Alice, I want more.â
âItâs auntie.â Alice diligently corrected the little girlâs habitual mistakes. She simply took 2 bags and handed them to Duoduo.
âUnderstood, Sister Alice.â Duoduoâs use of the title was âunchangeableâ. She suddenly thought about it and put away a bag, âDaddy likes to eat. This bag is reserved for daddy.â
âDuoduo is such a good girl.â Kia picked up Duoduo and fondly touched Duoduoâs braid, âNo wonder Duoduoâs daddy said that his daughter is the apple of his eyes.â
âDonât worry, Duoduo. Aunt Alice has a lot more here.â Alice took out a big bag, âThis is for Duoduoâs daddy.â
âOkay!â Duoduo leaned over and kissed Alice and Kia again. Suddenly, the little girl stood up from Kiaâs arms and flew in the usual direction of the [Star Gate].
âDaddy!â
Duoduo had a special sense with Fire Phoenix Stigmata and could always immediately sense Chen Ruiâs arrival.
No doubt, Chen Ruiâs figure appeared in everyoneâs vision. Athena and others all stood up.
âWelcome back.â Kia poured him a glass of juice.
âIâm back.â Chen Rui drank the juice, âThat place didnât do me much good. I just brought them in and could have come out long ago. As Guradam had some training problems, I just came back today. â
âItâs just in time to come back.â Athena laughed, âAlice happened toâ¦â
âDaddy eats this.â Duoduo had already stuffed a walnut into Chen Ruiâs mouth.
âItâs salt-baked? Daddy likes it the most.â Chen Rui stroked Duoduoâs head, âThank you, Duoduo.â
âThis is what Alice bought for you from the Green Shade Estate.â Athenaâs words made Aliceâs eyes lit up, and she cast a grateful look.
âAlice went to the Green Shade Estate?â Chen Rui thought of something, and said sternly, âAlthough it is killing the mood, but⦠Alice, you are now the lord of the Dark Moon. Your every move is under the attention of the estate. So, you canât act as recklessly as before going wherever you want.â
âOh.â Alice responded and lowered her head. Athena saw that Aliceâs eyes were a little red. As she was about to speak, she suddenly saw Chen Rui startled slightly and fell into a special state.
It wasnât the first time Chen Rui appeared like this. Athena immediately understood. Kia responded the fastest and took Duoduo from Chen Ruiâs arms. Adeline took Alice aside and comforted a few words.
Chen Ruiâs reaction was naturally due to the Super System. Judging from the fluctuations in sense, the Super System had created a God again.
His consciousness entered the Galaxy Divinity Temple and instantly appeared in the Tower of Faith.
In front of the Tower of Faith, in addition to Veronica, there was a mysterious figure covered in a black cloak.
âGuradam.â Although Chen Rui had already vaguely anticipated who would become the new God, he was still secretly surprised when he saw the cloaked figure.
âMaster!â Guradamâs voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. He gave Chen Rui a deep bow. This respect was more sincere than ever before.
âItâs unbelievable; so fast.â Chen Ruiâs surprise also came from the bottom of his heart. Just 2 days before he left the Ghastly Floating Land and returned to the Dark Moon residence, Guradam entered a specially made âcageâ.
This âcageâ was made with the mystery of ancient runes, but its basic power was the most deadly Nirvana power for Guradam. Even without any special attack, it was enough to make the soul of the corpse necromancer in it suffer a constant torment.
However, compared to the [Divine Healing] that he received a few days ago, at least it screamed tragically like being splashed with sulfuric acid.
The âcageâ also had another terrifying attribute, that was constantly shrinking. Once it shrunk to the limit, the body of Guradam would be completely annihilated, and his soul would be irreparably damaged. When Guradam was desperately accepting [Divine Healing], his soul had already suffered considerable damage, and the power of the devoured wandering spirits began to attack frequently. If he was seriously injured again, he would explode in advance, completely lose his soul and become a real wandering spirit.
This was proposed by Guradam himself. This once-famous dark element magician had the fortitude of â all or nothingâ, which was evident when he converted himself into a corpse necromancer at the risk of annihilation.
In Guradamâs view, if he couldnât comprehend the true meaning of death, the disappearance of self-consciousness was only a matter of time. Therefore, he went all out. Once he really failed, he would accept his fate.
Judging from the breath emanating from Guradam, it was clear that the desperate gamble had succeeded.
âWelcome to this âworldâ, the Death God.â Veronica bowed to Guradam.
When Guradam appeared in the Galaxy Divinity Temple before, he was guided by Veronica into the Tower of Faith to become the Death God. The corpse necromancer was not a fool. He had heard the name of Veronica from others and knew that she was 1 of the âmadamâ. He hurriedly bowed to her.
In fact, with Veronicaâs savvy and familiarity with the âworldâ of the Super System, becoming a Goddess was not a problem. It was just that she didnât find a light element body that completely matched her soul. Even if she mastered Pythonâs secret technique, she couldnât be resurrected. There was also a small wish within this: To give birth to a âcreationâ child for Chen Rui after the resurrection.
Secondly, there were more and more Gods in the Super System, and faith inevitably affected and impacted each other. Although every God had a corresponding oracle, without her, the highest oracle who controlled the overall situation, perhaps it would cause all kinds of chaos.
From the perspective of the Super Systemâs faith, Veronica was no less important than any other God.
âVery good, Sir Death God.â Chen Rui looked at Guradamâs outfit, âYou look even more badass if paired with a large scythe.â
âThat melee combat weapon is useless for me. Did master forget that Iâm a magic trainer? Obviously, a wand is more suitable for me.â Guradam obviously couldnât understand the sarcasm of the crossover guy.
Chen Rui shrugged at his misunderstanding, âOkay.â
âMaster, before I leave, I have something important to report.â
âWhatâs the matter?â Guradamâs solemnity caught Chen Ruiâs attention.
âItâs about the law fragment. Back when the master first took me into the Ghastly Floating Land, Iâve been researching the topic of wandering spirits and law fragments. Why the wandering spirits create law fragments after disappearing. There is a lot of randomness in this creation. Not every wandering spirit will produce fragments. For this reason, I also risked converting myself into a wandering spirit using a secret undead technique. It was after comprehending the meaning of death today and after getting the huge faith related to âdeathâ from masterâs âworldâ, that I understood the mystery.â
Chen Rui realized that the main purpose of Guradam turning into a wandering spirit was actually for this kind of research. Speaking of which, in terms of academic research, Guradam and Zola had the same obsession. If this world also had knowledge and academic gods, the fairy dragon and corpse necromancer were definitely a true believer.
âMystery?â Chen Ruiâs mind moved.
âThe law fragment should be the essence of the remnant faith of the dead soul.â The bright red light in Guradamâs cloak became more and more shining, âWith the way of death I now comprehend, coupled with the huge âdeathâ faith power of this âworldâ, I can directly create a similar law energy entity. However, it is inferior to a real law fragment in terms of energy intensity and purity. Besides, if it is used to increase oneâs strength, the effect will be much worse.â
âGreat!â Chen Rui was overjoyed. He immediately thought of the ârule energyâ needed by the City of Stars, which was the most important use of law fragment now.
Rule energy was the highest grade energy in the City of Stars. Whether it was the âsuper evolutionâ of the 3 main cannons or the creation of super-level creatures, a large amount of ârule energyâ was required. Previously, it could only be obtained by hunting the wandering spirits and converting the law fragment. The chance of hunting the wandering spirits to get law fragments was very small. During the training period of Chen Ruiâs team, the number of wandering spirits seemed to be decreasing. If this went on, it would eventually exhaust one day.
Now, after comprehending the true meaning of death, Guradam could actually use the Death Godâs faith of the Super System to create his own rule energy. Even if the purity was inferior to the real law fragment, it could be converted into a large amount of rule energy. This meant that as long as this method worked, the energy crisis of the City of Stars was tantamount to finding a complete solution.
âWell, get used to the newly acquired faith and life force, then try to merge the original undead kingdom with the Death God Kingdom of this âworldâ. Python is very experienced in this area. If you donât understand, you can ask her for help. After that, you and I go to the Blue Lake Mountain Range and try to see if the created law energy entity can be converted into the special energy of the ancient alchemy civilization.â
âAs ordered. Iâll leave first.â Guradam bowed, and his figure gradually disappeared.
âIâm going to be busy too. This new God still has a lot of problems that need to be solved immediately.â Veronica smiled at Chen Rui. Chen Rui nodded and exited the Super System.
His consciousness returned to the body of the Dark Moon residence, and Chen Rui set his eyes on Alice. Although Princess Loliâs eyes were a little red, she still looked at Chen Rui who was dumbfounded.
âAlice, where did we stop?â
âYou said I canât be headstrongâ¦â Princess Loli lowered her head again.
âYes, you are not young anymore. Whether you are a princess or a lord, you should pay attention to your words and deeds.â
âOhâ¦â Alice lowered her head, but she felt extremely aggrieved.
âAlso,â Chen Rui paused, walked in front of Alice, and touched her head affectionately, âI like the things you bought back very much. Thank you.â
Aliceâs ears perked up, and her teary eyes suddenly lit up.
âThen, brother⦠Letâs go to the Blue Lake Mountain Range for a picnic tomorrow! Then weâll go to the City of Stars to fight! Treat it as a thank you gift for me!â
âPicnic! Daddy!â Duoduo also raised her hand happily.
âUh⦠alright.â
The madam lord clearly still wanted to play. Chen Rui felt a little bit of a failure as his sentimental preaching just now fell onto a deaf ear.
However, at times like this, having fun is the most important thing, isnât it?
