Chapter 343 Contrast and the Goddess of Life

Mo Qianxun stared in silence at the woman wrapped in bandages. This look, this aura—this was clearly the standard attire of a Grim Reaper from anime! You're telling me this is the Goddess of Life? Are you kidding me?

"Hmm? You guys are from that 'Lai Yi Dian Er' platform?" Natalie looked at Mo Qianxun and the others with an indifferent gaze.

Seeing the shocked looks on Mo Qianxun's and the others' faces, Natalie waved her hand: "Don't be so surprised, this is just routine procedure."

"Um, if I may ask, are you really the Goddess of Life?" To be honest, she doesn't look like it at all.

"Yes, it's me!" Natalie looked at the four of them, suddenly stood up from her seat, and walked towards them.

"I envy you humans, who have finite lives, unlike me, who can only grow old alone in endless years." The Goddess of Life touched Mo Qianxun's face.

Mo Qianxun: ...If those who pursue immortality heard you say that, they would drown you in their spit.

“Endless lifespan is pretty good too. I can travel all over this beautiful land, enjoy more delicious food, and experience more local customs. It’s not bad at all.” Mo Qianxun took out the soda from her Qiankun bag. “This is the cola you ordered. Please enjoy.”

"Delicious food? Forget it, I've only had it a few times and I don't want to eat it anymore." Natalie rolled her eyes. It wasn't that she thought the food in this world was bad, it was just that there were only a few flavors over and over again, and she was already tired of them.

"Alas, it's a pity you can't come to our country. You know, our country is known as the land of delicious food. Others who come to our country can't even finish eating all the local delicacies in a month."

The goddess of life's eyes brightened slightly, then dimmed again: "Yes, what a pity."

Natalie took the soda that Mo Qianxun handed her, took a sip, and said, "Hmm? This stuff? I've never actually tried it before. You guys are pretty good at it."

"Thank you for the compliment. If there's nothing else, we'll be going now. We still have orders lined up, so we can't stay any longer." Ling Feng stepped forward and tugged at Mo Qianxun's clothes.

Something's definitely wrong with the goddess of life, and the atmosphere in this palace is so oppressive. Something must have happened. Just to be safe, let's leave first.

“Wait a minute,” Natalie called out to them.

The four turned around in confusion.

"Consider this a tip for bringing me this gift," Natalie said, as four gems appeared in her hand and flew towards Mo Qianxun and the others.

Mo Qianxun and the other three looked at the gem in their hands at the same time: "This is..."

"Just a little toy to play with when I'm bored. By the way, next time you guys bring me some food from your place, I'm really looking forward to it." Natalie's tone was flat, with a faint sense of death about it.

The four people: ...Your expression and tone don't show any expectation at all.

"You place an order in the system, and once we see the order, we will send it to you. That's our job."

"Oh, so it wasn't just water. Alright, you can leave now!" Natalie waved her hand, and the four people in front of her disappeared.

After the four unrelated people had completely disappeared, Natalie went to a mirror and silently removed the bandages from her body, revealing shocking scars all over her body.

Her slender, fair hands caressed the wounds, as if she felt no pain. Even some of the more fatal areas were covered in scars. Suddenly, she exerted force with her right hand, and the wounds that were almost healed reopened, with golden blood flowing out.

"Why, why can't I die? Why do other creatures have the right to die, but I don't? Why?" Natalie's face was filled with a hint of madness, making her look particularly frightening.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief upon returning to the time-travel room.

"Is that really the Goddess of Life? Why does it look so lifeless?" Lu Tao turned around and glanced at the door, puzzled.

Mo Qianxun was also puzzled and turned to look at 008: "Are we sure we didn't send the wrong person?"

[Host, your order shows as completed. How could it have been delivered to the wrong person?] 008 knew what they were suspecting and sighed.

Sigh, every family has its own troubles. I've already inquired with the Heavenly Dao over there; she's been like this for quite some time now. She must have scared you. Don't worry, although she's a bit unusual, she's a good person and won't harm you.

"It's not about whether she's injured or not. The main thing is, her condition is completely inconsistent with her title. Oh, I see, the injuries on her body were from a fight with someone?"

008's expression was somewhat unnatural. [No, this is residue from her own actions.]

"Why?"

Because their lifespan is too long.

The four people: ...Hehe!
"As the goddess of life, she possesses endless lifespan, but also endless loneliness." 008, like a little adult, put his hands behind his back and sighed helplessly.

Mo Qianxun and the other three: ...You're even feeling sentimental now.

The orders didn't give them much time to rest; new orders came in very quickly.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Upon arriving at the location of the new order, the four of them stood together at the entrance, looking up at the plaque above the door. Their faces were filled with shock, their mouths agape.

"Wow~" Chen Min exclaimed in amazement as she looked at the three powerful words above.

"Unfortunately, I'm uncultured, so all I can say is 'Holy crap,' 'Holy crap, that's huge.'" Lu Tao's exclamation was even more outrageous.

Ling Feng swallowed hard: "I knew it had a powerful aura, but I really didn't know it was this powerful."

Mo Qianxun held her neck with one hand: "It's so high, I feel like my neck is going to break."

008's face was also filled with shock. [I must say, host, your country's aesthetic sense is truly remarkable. Even a simple gate can possess such a magnificent aura; it's truly astonishing.]

The three words "South Heavenly Gate" seemed to radiate golden light in the eyes of the four of them.

"Hey? Why aren't you coming in?" Nezha, who had come out to greet them, flew out on his Wind Fire Wheels.

"No, it's nothing. We were just marveling at the three characters 'South Heavenly Gate.' They're so imposing and even glow with golden light."

"Oh, you mean those three characters? That's because the God of Wealth melted down some gold and then coated it with gold water, which is why you can see it glowing with gold." Nezha looked at the three characters and felt that it was a bit of an exaggeration.

"The God of Wealth?" The four men's eyes lit up instantly, and they surrounded Nezha.

"What, what are you doing?" Nezha was a little confused by the four people's actions at this moment. Had he said something wrong?
