The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

On the boundless blue sea, the clear sunlight poured down, making the surface of the sea sparkle.

Zeng Shen held two round, chubby snowball beasts firmly in his arms, with Leona and the others following closely behind. The group flew swiftly towards the Spirit Gathering Cave like a dazzling streak of light.

A gentle sea breeze caressed her face, and Leonasha spread her six magnificent wings, which shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight, dazzlingly beautiful.

At this moment, as she gazed at the island that was getting closer and closer in her line of sight, a subtle yet extremely complex expression flashed in her golden eyes.

After all, in her memory, when she saw her people in the past, they appeared in a high and mighty manner as the god of a small world.

Now, however, she is merely a heroic spirit, and this change in identity has left her with mixed feelings.

Moreover, in that fierce battle, she was unable to completely protect her people, resulting in many of her people's families becoming wandering ghosts and remains.

"Master, are my people... on that island?" Leona asked softly, though she was certain, her voice trembling slightly, carrying a hint of barely perceptible tension and anticipation.

Zeng Shen turned to look at her, a warm smile playing on his lips, and said gently, "Of course, Aisera should have already settled all the Winged Women into their temporary new home in the cave."

Leona nodded gently, her long, slender fingers unconsciously clenching slightly as a strange sense of apology welled up inside her.

however.

The thought of seeing the descendants of the clansmen she had once protected with all her heart stirred up a complex mix of emotions within her, a mixture of excitement, trepidation, and a faint sense of anticipation.

Before long, the group slowly landed at the entrance of the Spirit Gathering Cave.

At the entrance of the cave, several luminous plant vines emitting a soft, pale green light stand out in the dim environment, resembling quiet little green lamps.

"Hey, these green vines must have been planted by Aisera. They're perfect for lighting," Zeng Shen said with a smile, before walking into the cave.

The moment Zeng Shen stepped into the Gathering Spirit Cave, he discovered that the internal passages of the cave had undergone tremendous changes.

The passageway is much wider than before, and every two meters from the ceiling hangs a small light bulb that emits a bright light, illuminating the entire passageway.

In the corners of the rock walls on both sides, every so often, hang one or two luminous vines, characteristic of the Holy Light World.

These plants are thriving, and there are obvious signs of watering on their roots, indicating that they were planted here intentionally.

soon.

As the group ventured deeper into the cave, the passageway gradually opened up. Zeng Shen and his companions could also occasionally spot smaller branches of the cave.

Some of these small caves have clearly been cleverly transformed by Yin Libai into storage rooms, where all kinds of supplies are neatly arranged, from daily necessities to various tools.

Some have been transformed into planting caves, filled with luminous plants brought from the Holy Light World, where colorful lights intertwine, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.

“Master, I sensed a lot of soul fluctuations. The cave where the Winged Maidens are located should be not far ahead.” Wu Nisha floated lightly beside Zeng Shen and said softly.

Zeng Shen nodded slightly, then turned to look at Leona, his eyes filled with concern: "You're about to see your people, how does it feel?" Leona took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with a complex light, and said in a slightly trembling voice: "I'm a little nervous... After all, I'm no longer their god, and I failed to protect them in the past."

“It’s alright. You’re not the same person you used to be. You don’t need to keep wallowing in self-blame. You used to be their guardian angel. Whenever you appeared before them, they would only be overjoyed,” Zeng Shen said meaningfully, while reaching out and gently patting her shoulder, giving her silent encouragement.

Leona nodded slightly upon hearing Zeng Shen's words. Just as she was about to express her gratitude, her six wings suddenly trembled slightly, as if she had sensed some kind of special call. She spoke up and said, "Master, I sense... the aura of my clansmen is in that direction!"

talking.

She raised her finger and pointed to a huge passage on the right. From that passage, the ethereal voice unique to the Winged Women could be faintly heard, like heavenly music resounding in the passage.

Zeng Shen looked in the direction she was pointing, a slight smile of satisfaction appearing on his lips: "It seems your intuition is quite accurate. That is the large cave where the Winged Women are temporarily residing. Let's go over there."

"Yes," the women replied in unison, then quickened their pace and headed towards the passage.

Soon, as the group drew closer, the sounds from inside the passage became increasingly clear.

Faintly, Zeng Shen and the others seemed to hear the unique voices of the Winged Women, as if they were having a heated discussion.

Soon.

When they reached the entrance to the large cave at one end of the passage, the sight before them made Leonasha hold her breath.

This is an extremely large circular cave, at least three or four hundred meters in diameter and more than thirty meters in height, as if it were a magnificent palace sculpted by nature with its ingenious craftsmanship.

Countless glowing stalactites hang from the ceiling of the cave, shimmering with iridescent light and illuminating the entire space as bright as day.

In the center of the cave, hundreds of Winged Women were moving about busily and in an orderly manner.

Some were working together to set up temporary tents, skillfully handling various materials; others were carefully organizing the items they brought from the Holy Light World, categorizing and arranging them neatly; still others were intently learning from the Hidden Spirits how to use some smart furniture and appliances, their eyes filled with curiosity and a thirst for knowledge.

At this moment, Etherra was standing on a protruding rock in the center of the cave, methodically directing her people to set up temporary dwellings.

"Esera".

Zeng Shen called out softly, and although his voice was soft, it was clearly heard by everyone in the Winged Women Clan due to their keen hearing.

Etherra immediately turned around, and when she saw Zeng Shen standing at the entrance, her previously focused face instantly blossomed into a delighted smile, as radiant as a flower blooming in spring. She exclaimed happily, "Lord God! How come you're back so soon?"

talking.

Etherra leaped lightly from the rocks, like a nimble bird, and raced swiftly toward Zeng Shen.

However, when she clearly saw the familiar golden figure standing beside Zeng Shen, she abruptly stopped, her smile froze, her pupils contracted sharply, and her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. (End of Chapter)
