"Nothing, just some distant past."
At this time, Tu Kao's expression had returned to calm, and there seemed to be no sign of the ripples that had been caused before.
So long ago that it was before the collapse of old Valhalla.
"oh."
Xuanyuan Muyan responded, but looking at the expressions of the people present, he was afraid that he couldn't explain it for a while, so he simply gave up asking further.
"Come to think of it, it seems like there hasn't been a 'Witch Tea Party' for a long time." Tu Kao looked at Luo Ling with a deeper gaze, "Since the last time the First Lady summoned me to meet you, she has never appeared again. Even Yue Jian hasn't received any news." Now, Tu Kao can vaguely guess the true identity of the First Lady. She should be an existence of the same level as the "Holy Lord" and the current Luo Ling.
"From now on, there will be no more 'Witch Tea Party' because... the first and most important purpose has been achieved." Luo Ling said softly.
The first witch tea party, in addition to her own fun-loving attributes, what is more important is to find a way to save the world.
As the first Outer God, she cannot interfere deeply in this world and can only exert her influence through the Witch Tea Party.
After Luo Ling was promoted to a god, there was no need to continue the witch tea party.
The first Naia has found the only way to save the world with a glimmer of hope.
"But...have you seen Grandma Yuejian recently?" Luo Ling asked in surprise.
Hearing this name, Tu Xiong was stunned at first, then nodded.
"Yes. But that happened a few years ago. She has since given up her duties as the 'Lord of Qingqiu' and traveled around... Now, I can't contact her."
In order to completely destroy the Messenger of Doom, the "Kingdom of Qingqiu", which was already suffering from the disaster of "Ten Suns in the Sky", unfortunately became a victim. Yue Jian used her kingdom of God to take her people and flee far away, looking for a habitable place.
Judging from the current situation, the Kingdom of Qingqiu should have been stabilized, and even Yue Jian can put down the burden of her clan members and travel around.
"I see. It looks like everyone is doing pretty well."
As Luo Ling spoke, his gaze drifted towards Xuanyuan Muyan next to him.
Tu Kao's face twitched slightly.
"By the way, let me return this artifact to you."
Luo Ling took out a pair of scissors, which were the ones Tu had "lent" to her with great reluctance.
However, when he lent it out, Tu Kao had already prepared himself for being hacked directly by Luo Ling.
Therefore, when he saw Luo Ling taking out the scissors, Tu Kao couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
"Give this back to me?"
"Of course." Luo Ling nodded slightly, "Actually... I couldn't use it."
In the battle against the pitch-black dragon, Luo Ling's other means are of no use, including this divine weapon.
But she understood Tu Kao's intention.
“This is a divine weapon…”
Tu Kao took the scissors back doubtfully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after he was sure that the scissors were genuine. However, what followed was even deeper doubt.
Is Miss Luo Ling so wealthy now? She can even return the artifact she got to me...
Tu Mi's knowledge of gods was not sufficient, so she did not realize Luo Ling's current nature.
However, Luo Ling did not intend to explain to her. She just smiled and said,
"It's probably because of the Holy Lord's legacy that I have no shortage of divine weapons now."
"Wow... "
Tu Kao, who was particularly fascinated by divine weapons, couldn't help but exclaim when he heard this, with a slightly envious expression on his face.
She also wanted to own a divine weapon that could never be used up.
"Okay, we have finished what needs to be dealt with." Luo Ling clapped his hands, and finally looked at Xuanyuan'e and said seriously, "Goodbye, Miss Xuanyuan'e."
Xuanyuan'e did not respond, but just raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"Miss Luo Ling, where are you going?"
Xuanyuan Muyan next to him asked.
Luo Ling raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and said softly,
"go home."
Chapter 10 "Doomsday" (8k)
For Luo Ling, this was just a short journey.
But for everyone in their "home", it was a long journey with an uncertain outcome of life or death.
Almost all of them knew the truth to some extent. Even Su Wan and Elsa, who were personally involved, did not have 100% confidence that Luo Ling could truly defeat him after facing the dark dragon.
It was not until the news of Luo Ling's return arrived at their "home" along with Su Wan and Elsa that they finally felt relieved.
But... unfortunately, this was not a complete triumph.
Everyone knows that this is just the prelude to the coming storm.
The horrific disaster called "Doomsday" still hangs over everyone's head like a shadow and may come at any time.
Especially those who have established a God-chosen relationship with Luo Ling have a deep feeling about this, because through Luo Ling, they can truly understand the existence of "Doomsday".
This is an "enemy" that is completely different from all the previous ones, beyond everyone's imagination, the most terrifying and difficult to defeat.
When Luo Ling passed through the familiar gate of the kingdom of God and returned to her "home" after ten years, she couldn't help but be shocked by the scene before her.
"Home" was formed by the merger of two divine kingdoms, "Victoria at Dusk" and "Victoria at Stars". Before the complete merger, many transformations had been carried out.
But all the previous transformations were not as shocking as this scene.
Because the masters of these two divine kingdoms are Luo Ling, as Luo Ling's rank rises, their existence also rises, and they have completely deviated from the original concept of "traces above the transformation" and have completely become a paradise beyond all places of origin.
It is with such a foundation that the home building team, including Jingwei, can better display their talents.
The former Victorian cityscape was not completely erased, but turned into the "boundary" that Luo Ling was once most familiar with, blending in with other landscapes.
Everyone in the "home" has different preferences. Fiona and Lina are accustomed to life in Victoria, Jingwei and Miss Yingwei prefer mountains and jungles, Chi Nu is obsessed with the former Chaoge City... and so on.
With the help of Luo Ling's power, "home" was built into a place similar to the place of origin, but it was slightly flawed because it did not have the power of the gods who had once "ascended".
Under the setting sun and the starry sky, Luo Ling witnessed with his own eyes the many past sceneries that came together, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
"Luo Ling!"
Only to hear a voice that sounded a little suppressed but could hardly contain its surprise, Luo Ling was caught off guard by a figure that was slightly taller than her and jumped into his arms, and she quickly reached out to hug him.
When I looked down, I saw a pair of familiar beautiful eyes. The slightly rippling clear eyes were filled with countless unspeakable thoughts.
Familiar memories surged in his mind, and Luo Ling couldn't help but recall this sad and entangled woman, her lonely past, and unspeakable guilt surged in his heart.
"Red Woman..."
Luo Ling sighed softly, raised his hand and gently wiped the moisture from the corners of Chi Nu's eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"I'm back."
"Um... "
Chi Nu snorted softly, then buried herself directly in Luo Ling's arms, snuggling up to her tightly.
However, this brief and warm scene disappeared in an instant when Luo Ling looked up.
Su Wan, standing in the main seat, still had her usual gentle smile on her face, but because of Luo Ling's previous teasing, her smile now seemed a little cunning and dark, and every glance in her slightly opened eyes seemed dangerous.
Elsa next to her kept her eyes moving between Chi Nu and Luo Ling, and gradually she realized something - she might have known who the "fox spirit" was who had taken away her chance to transform.
Fiona stood with her daughter Lina, with a slightly playful look on her face. Lina had a stern face and it was hard to tell what she was thinking. However, her ladylike outfit, which was completely different from usual, still betrayed her thoughts.
Needless to say, sisters Alyssa and Stasha, whether it was Stasha's slight excitement or Alyssa's usual calmness and indifference, there was a sense of respect and even reverence.
Although Luo Ling has always treated them as family members, they all regard themselves as Luo Ling's servants, only because Luo Ling once saved their lives and each other.
Jingwei, who was staying out of the matter, was at a later position. The moment her eyes met Luo Ling's, she nodded slightly, showing a little respect and a hint of pity.
The nervous Miss Yingwei hid behind Jingwei, and when she saw Luo Ling she just blinked without much expression. Even though she was clumsy and didn't quite understand what was going on, she could feel the different atmosphere around her.
Because their habitat "Changshengtian" was destroyed, the duo of Sky Speakers, who refused to leave their "home", all had expressions of gloating, and their looks of watching melons on their faces were really annoying.
So, Luo Ling, who was sweating profusely under all the gazes, glared at them fiercely after seeing their faces.
The gypsy girl hadn't realized anything was wrong, but Lu Manqing on the other side reacted immediately.
She seemed to have something to say.
But Luo Ling didn't want to listen.
The figures of the two were wiped out silently - of course they were not killed, but were simply driven out of their "home" by Luo Ling.
When the family is reunited, how can we allow outsiders to be here and be an eyesore
Not only that, when Luo Ling threw the gypsy girl and Lu Manqing away, he also temporarily deprived them of their abilities, making it impossible for them to use any means to disturb the long-awaited reunion at home.
Finally, he was able to use the power in his hands to deal with this annoying duo of charlatans, and Luo Ling finally felt refreshed.
As for what they wanted to say, Luo Ling actually already knew it. It was about their local boss "Yao Ji".
In fact, the reason why Luo Ling was able to keep the two of them in their home was because of the two omens of the right time and place.
However, Luo Ling's refreshed mood did not last long, and soon returned to the awkward atmosphere.
Under everyone's gaze, Luo Ling first took down the naked girl who was hugging him tightly, then looked up at everyone, chuckled and said,
"Everyone, I'm home."
At this time, Chi Nu was holding Luo Ling's arm, and looking at the girl next to her with her face slightly tilted. There was no intention of concealing the infatuation in her eyes, and there was only Luo Ling in her eyes.
"I'm glad you're back." Su Wan walked over directly, took Luo Ling's hand, and said softly, "Anyway... let's eat first."
Even though almost everyone at home has reached the point where they don’t need to eat, the significance of a rare family dinner is not just about eating.
What's more... this may very well be the last reunion.
“…Yeah.” Luo Ling’s expression relaxed a little.
Looking around, even though everyone present had some other little emotions to a greater or lesser extent, they all had a clear understanding of the mission that Luo Ling was about to undertake, and there was a hint of worry on everyone's face.
"By the way, what about the hour of Mao?"
Luo Ling asked. She did not find any trace of Mao Ke in her home. Instead, there was a illusory shadow working hard to move bricks for the new home and fill in some gaps in the boundaries - the only human servant "Wang" in the "home". The sad look on her face had never disappeared since Su Wan came back not long ago.
"Ms. Mao Ke left her homeland not long after you went to Valhalla," Fiona said. "She only left one sentence for me to tell you, 'I have lived in Columbia for the first half of my life, and lived in a daze as a puppet of the puppet song for the second half of my life. Now it is my turn to live for myself.'"
After listening to this, Luo Ling felt a little emotional and said,
"If that's the case, then... let her be."
Mao Ke had been freed from most of the constraints that had bound her as a puppet by Luo Ling before, but she had been a puppet for too long, and it was almost impossible for her to completely get rid of this identity.
At least...if she really just wanted to pursue her own freedom, Luo Ling had no intention of interfering.
"Let's go."
Luo Ling looked up into the distance, the setting sun on the skyline seemed like it would never fall.
The last dinner was held in the afterglow of the setting sun. It included Fiona's best Western food, Su Wan's favorite home-cooked dishes, and even a meat soup made by Chi Nu herself - this time it would finally not be described as bland by Luo Ling.
It's just... a little too heavy.
"I have been cooking for you for thousands of years to find the most suitable and delicious soup."
Being stared at by Chi Nu with a long and expectant look, Luo Ling couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling and could only drink it up with big gulps of praise.
The heartwarming dinner soon ended. When Lina came to her after the meal, and everyone else - even Chi Nu - moved away for a while, Luo Ling knew that the moment she had been trying to avoid had finally arrived.
It seems that they... must have discussed it secretly.
Walking on the lonely streets of Victoria, Luo Ling could recognize that everything around her was the incubator of the former "Purgatory" and the moment when she had saved Lina.
Lina said nothing. Although she was wearing a ladylike aristocratic dress, she still walked with great power.
It was not until they reached a dilapidated place that Luo Ling realized that this was the moment when she saved Lina and gave her a new life.
Before Luo Ling could react, Lina suddenly turned around, knelt on one knee, took out a gorgeous ceremonial dagger, and handed it to Luo Ling.
She raised her head slightly. Even though her makeup was as gentle as possible, it still couldn't hide her resolute temperament. She said in a solemn tone,
"Ms. Luo Ling, I have always been very clear...I don't have many chances."
