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

“Guardian God… Lord? Is that you?” Etherra’s voice trembled so badly it was almost incoherent, and her expression froze completely at that moment.

In an instant, the entire cave fell silent.

Upon hearing Ether's voice, all the Winged Women stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes toward the entrance.

When they saw Leona's familiar face, a gasp of surprise echoed through the cave.

"Ah, it's the guardian deity!"

"My God, it really is the Guardian Deity!"

"Ah, the guardian deity has been revived! That's wonderful! The guardian deity is back!"

At this moment, exclamations of surprise rose and fell throughout the cave, and the faces of the Winged Women were filled with disbelief and joy.

Some of the older Winged Women who had seen Leonasha in their childhood instantly filled their eyes with tears. They even knelt down, crossed their hands in front of their chests, and made the most respectful gesture of the Winged Women to express their reverence and longing for Leonasha.

Leona gazed quietly at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar faces before her, and memories of the past flooded her mind like a tide.

In an instant, her consciousness was once again affected by the emotions she had experienced in her previous life. A glistening moisture welled up in her golden eyes, as if hiding a tear of starlight.

Leona took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and gently flapped her six wings, creating a soft breeze as she flew to Aethera.

“Aisera…and everyone, it’s been so long. You’ve all grown up so much.”

Leona's voice was gentle and ethereal, like a clear mountain spring flowing, with a barely perceptible sob.

Ethera finally snapped out of her shock. She staggered forward a few steps, then suddenly knelt down, her eyes filled with tears of excitement and joy: "Guardian God! You...you really came back to life! I thought that after you finished speaking to me that day, your last wisp of divine consciousness had perished along with the small world..."

“Little girl, you’re already a priestess and clan leader, why are you still such a crybaby? You can’t keep crying like this.” Leona smiled slightly, gently stroking Aisera’s golden hair, like a loving mother.

“Guardian Angel, I am so happy to see you return in person.” Ether wiped away her tears. “Now that you are back, please let me continue to be your little shepherdess.”

"Pfft," Leona chuckled, "Still a little shepherdess? You've grown up so much. Besides, I am no longer the guardian of the Holy Light World. You should no longer call me guardian. You can call me Holy Light Heroic Spirit Envoy. And from now on, I will serve and follow the God Lord for all eternity, just like you."

Leona's words were like a bombshell, causing a huge uproar among the Winged Women.

They looked at each other in disbelief. Their guardian deity, Leona, had also become a follower of the God?
Seeing this, Zeng Shen stepped forward at the right time, his posture upright, and looked around at the women, saying, "I allowed Leonasha's last wisp of soul to remain, so that after she was reborn as a heroic spirit, she would still clearly remember you all and every little detail of the past. So the first thing she did after waking up was to see you all."

Upon hearing Zeng Shen's words, Aesera looked at him with gratitude in her eyes and said, "Thank you, God. Thank you for bringing our former guardian deity back to our side. We, the Winged Maidens, will never forget this kindness. We will serve you for generations to come without hesitation."

Following Aesera's statement, the other Winged Women knelt down in reverence, expressing their highest respect to Zeng Shen and Leona.

The next second, tiny, star-like points of faith slowly emerged from these winged women, eventually converging on Zeng Shen like rivers flowing into the sea.

[Congratulations, host! You have revived Leona, the former guardian deity of the Winged Women's small world, causing a significant shift in the faith of all Winged Women towards you, turning them into your sincere believers. Faith +13100.]

"Forehead!"

When Zeng Shen heard the sincere believer's prompting, he was immediately taken aback. He hadn't expected that this could change a believer's faith.

He nodded with satisfaction, then clapped his hands: "Alright, get up, everyone. Today is a day worth celebrating; we should prepare a proper banquet."

“The Lord is right!” Ethera stood up, turned to her people and called out, “Sisters, prepare a feast! We will use all our best to welcome back Lady Leona, the Holy Light Heroine, and to thank the Lord for his grace!”

The Winged Women immediately sprang into action, and the once quiet cave became bustling with activity once again.

Yin Libai, who was standing to the side, took out several kinds of strange beast corpses and a lot of fruit from her storage space.

Zeng Shen looked at the busy Winged Women and suddenly remembered something. He took out his phone from his pocket and dialed Yin Xia's WeChat number.

"Hey, Yinxia, ​​Yin Libai asked you to prepare two thousand mobile phones. Once they're ready, bring them over. Also, bring the matching charging equipment... no, more than that. Also, bring some furniture and daily necessities. Yes, the kind you prepared for the Hidden Spirit Clan in the group last time. I'll be waiting for you in the Spirit Gathering Cave."

Zeng Shen hung up the WeChat call and noticed Leona Sha looking at his phone with curiosity.

"This is a cell phone, a communication tool from our world," Zeng Shen explained with a smile, then continued, "Yinxia will bring more over later, and each of you will have one for easy communication."

Leona nodded as if she understood, while Etherra flapped her wings excitedly beside her: "My Lord, are you saying we can also have that kind of magical communication tool? Just like Chief Yinlibai and the others?"

“Of course,” Zeng Shen said with a smile. “Not only that, Yinxia will also bring more modern appliances and various daily necessities to make your temporary accommodations more comfortable.”

Upon hearing this, Aesera and the surrounding Winged Women all had a look of anticipation in their eyes.

They had just visited the cave where the Hidden Spirit Clan lived, and were incredibly curious about all the modern equipment inside.

at this time.

The two snowball beasts in Zeng Shen's arms suddenly cried out, their little paws pawing at his arm, as if protesting being ignored.

“I almost forgot about you two little guys.” Zeng Shen looked down at them, then said to Aisera, “Is there any milk? These two little ones are hungry.”

“Yes, Lord God, please wait a moment.” Ether turned and flew to a corner of the cave. She returned shortly with a wooden container filled with a milky white liquid.

Zeng Shen took the container, placed the two snowball beasts on the stone bench beside him, and then pushed the container in front of them.

Suddenly.

The two little guys immediately buried their heads in the rice and happily started eating.

"What kind of creature is this? It's so cute." Yin Libai crouched down and curiously observed the Snowball Beast.

“The creatures in the Digital World are called Snowballmon,” Zeng Shen explained. “As they grow older, they will evolve into more powerful forms.”

As Yin Libai nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite, a mechanical sound suddenly came from afar.
