"No, you've come at just the right time."
Bai Yan stood up and added, "If you had arrived any later, you might not have been able to find me."
If the Black Tower had arrived any later, he would have been on his way to the place where life began, and without his guidance, no one could have found that place.
Moreover, even for the Black Tower, if one enters the Land of Beginning of Life without any preparation and cannot quickly grasp the rules and establish an image of the environment in one's mind, one's spirit will be overwhelmed.
"Is there something you need? If we can't finish this in a few words, I suggest we go somewhere else to talk. My assistant needs a rest."
“Alright, let’s talk somewhere else then.” Black Tower readily agreed.
The two left Nguyen Mai in the room to rest, and then walked towards the Black Tower's office.
Black Tower, recalling Ruan Mei lying on the bed just now, asked curiously, "Did you do anything to Ruan Mei?"
"What do you mean by 'made a move'? If you mean physical contact... then it has happened many times."
Just when Black Tower thought Bai Yan was being vague again, he added a sentence:
"The true meaning of a certain contact is for the propagation of life. Those who engage in such behavior for the sake of pleasure may belong to [pleasure], but they are definitely not [life]."
Chapter 31 The Price of Paying Homage to the Star God
Heita then asked, "So you're planning to have a child?"
Bai Yan truthfully replied, "You can understand it that way, but Ruan Mei can't help with this matter yet; she can only watch."
"You guys are playing pretty big games."
“You seem to have misunderstood something. I didn’t say I was going to do that kind of thing. There are other ways to create life besides natural reproduction.”
To avoid damaging his reputation, Bai Yan explained the joke he had just made.
Moreover, although he said it as a joke, he was telling the truth. In the process of creating the Star God, Ruan Mei was unable to provide any substantial assistance, but she could observe.
The two hadn't walked far when they arrived at Black Tower's office a moment later.
In the past, Black Tower would not have controlled the puppet to accompany him; instead, it would have directly connected to the puppet in the office and waited for him there.
Bai Yan has a keen eye for life and a good understanding of the Black Tower, so he wouldn't have missed this detail.
The two walked into the Black Tower office one after the other, and the door closed to the side.
Bai Yan smiled and said, "Our little genius seems to have discovered something. Why don't we just get straight to the point? You're not one to beat around the bush."
Black Tower took out the tissue stained with divine blood from the doll's storage device, as if presenting evidence.
She spoke with a smile: "I never expected that my visit to the Star God would be so sudden, and that I would remain so calm."
"Are you very calm?"
Bai Yan briefly sensed the life coordinates of the Black Tower: "Even if you are not here, I can feel the excitement in your heart."
"It's a comparison. Compared to the previous visit to the Star God, this time it was quite peaceful."
Black Tower explained and gave an example: "There are not many people in this world who can calmly face the Star God. Even when Screw Gum met Boshizun, his shafts would creak."
Bai Yan understood the reasoning behind Hei Ta's words: "That's why I entered your lives with this image. With this preconceived image and a period of time spent together, even if my identity is exposed, there won't be too much of a barrier between us."
After a string of serious remarks, he added, "I forgot to complain earlier, when did our little genius start rummaging through trash cans? I thought this tissue would be disposed of by the waste disposal unit at the end of the day."
"It was discovered by that brat who had a star core hidden inside him."
"..."
At this moment, the world-renowned [Life] Star God was cast a momentary silencing spell, even though he was mentally prepared.
After a moment of silence, Bai Yan spoke, urging the conversation to continue:
“You don’t actually know my identity, you’re just guessing, and you took out that tissue to trick me. But now that things have come to this, I feel there’s no need to hide it from you anymore.”
"Can we have a formal meeting? In your image as the Star God."
Bai Yan smiled and nodded in agreement: "Okay. However, you will need to pay a price."
"What price?" Black Tower was already mentally prepared; she knew that formally paying homage to the Star God would not be without a price.
What does the other party want?
Strictly speaking, if the other party wants anything from her, they don't need to consult her; with their strength, they can simply plunder it.
But it is precisely because he is willing to respect ordinary people that Bai Yan is Bai Yan.
At this moment, Bai Yan seemed to see right through her and laughed, "Whatever you think I need from you, I can simply plunder it with my strength."
"Isn't that right?" Black Tower retorted.
Bai Yan gently shook his head: "You're wrong. There's something that can't be obtained through pure power."
"what?"
"I want to share the afternoon sun with Ms. Black Tower, I want to chat with Ms. Black Tower about interesting things in the world, I want to stroll with Ms. Black Tower in the mall and choose gifts for each other, I want to exchange New Year's greetings with Ms. Black Tower, I want to share a happy dinner with Ms. Black Tower..."
A series of parallel sentences came from Bai Yan's mouth, and finally he concluded with a smile:
"What I want is Lady Black Tower's true friendship."
Before Black Tower could answer, he continued to explain: "You are interested in me as a star god, and I am equally interested in you as a fellow life form."
I will read every page of your life in the time we spend together; you can also learn about me, the star god, through our time together.
After explaining, he formally extended the invitation again: "Want to be friends with a star god? It sounds impressive, but in reality, many people have already accepted the invitation without even realizing it."
Bai Yan did not receive an immediate reply; a data screen in front of him flickered and then stabilized.
A slender figure appears in the picture.
The video call began, and the person sitting behind the screen bore a resemblance to the Black Tower doll, but was clearly of a different age.
Bai Yan knew very well that it was Black Tower himself.
The outcome of this negotiation is already obvious.
The woman on the screen smiled and said softly, "I must admit this proposal is very interesting, and I accept it."
Chapter 32 Estella: Has Lady Black Tower's account been hacked?
Lady Black Tower's expressions are usually not much more varied than those of the dolls, but the words "Star Goddess" are enough to stir up ripples on her calm face.
The woman in the video call had a beautiful face, deep features, and skin as white as snow. A smile flashed across her cool eyes.
Bai Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "Just as I expected, Ms. Black Tower, you are indeed as beautiful as a newborn insect."
"Although I know that you find both of them equally beautiful, I don't like this analogy."
Bai Yan smiled and said, "Are you trying to give me the cold shoulder? Why hold back? We don't have any hierarchy between us; we're friends now, aren't we?"
Black Tower smiled and said, "Since we're friends, I'm not so petty as to not be able to take a joke like this. And this kind of language can't really hurt me."
I like this answer.
Bai Yan changed his analogy: "Then I'll put it another way, Lady Black Tower, you are indeed as beautiful as the [Pure Beauty] Star Goddess Idrila."
Black Tower still wore the same smile as before: "Forget it, it's best if we just talk about this between the two of us. I don't want to have my precious time disturbed by that group of beautiful knights."
"That's true. I once met a beautiful knight named Silverbrush, but I couldn't recall his identity for the moment, so I used the wrong metaphor."
Bai Yan recalled his experiences before arriving at the Black Tower Space Station.
As soon as Yinzhi saw him, she began to praise his good looks. When he searched for her figure in his distant memories, he politely returned the compliment and praised Yinzhi as well.
That was the first time he had met the Pure Beauty Knight, and it had been a long time since he had played on the Starry Sky Railway before he transmigrated to this world. By the time he remembered, the words had already been spoken.
"What did you say?" Black Tower had a vague idea, but still asked to confirm.
Bai Yan replied, "Just like the analogy I used with you earlier, I praised him for possessing the beauty of the [pure and beautiful] star goddess Idris."
He continued, “This is a common metaphor. Everyone hopes to have the same beauty as the Goddess of Beauty. Many people like this saying, except for the Knights of Pure Beauty and the Mirror-Viewers.”
Black Tower was somewhat intrigued: "What happened next? I guess that beautiful knight must have challenged you to a duel."
“That’s right. He challenged me to a duel, and if I lost, I would have to admit that Idrila’s beauty was unparalleled.”
Just like a casual chat between friends, Bai Yan told Hei Ta about the story: "After that, I was forced to beat him up. I apologize for that impolite metaphor, but I did not admit that the beauty of the Pure Star Goddess was unparalleled."
Just when Black Tower thought the story was over, Bai Yan added a sequel:
“Since then, I’ve encountered him a few times intermittently in the universe. He hasn’t given up on making me admit that the beauty of the Pure Star God is unparalleled, so every time we meet, I’m forced to beat him up.”
The story ends, and Bai Yan concludes: "I know it will be difficult to get him to give up the idea of me admitting that the beauty of the Pure Star God is unparalleled. I hope he can withstand a few more of my moves next time we meet, even though I've already gone easy on him."
He hadn't shared these interesting interstellar experiences with his friends as a star god for a long time.
Even if I talked to my junior staff about this, they probably wouldn't believe me.
He did have an old friend named Aha who would be happy to listen to his story, but he didn't want to tell Aha.
But perhaps he could tell Heta and Nguyen Mai about his ill-fated relationship with Aha as a topic of conversation or a bedtime story.
Heita chimed in, "It's quite fun to have these kinds of chats between friends from time to time."
"That's because you're interested in the Star God. What I just told you was the interstellar experience of the [Life] Star God. If I were to tell you a completely different story about an ordinary person, would you still be interested?"
"will not."
After giving a brief answer, Heita changed the subject to one she was more interested in: "What did you mean when you said a new Star God would be born soon?"
Based on the conversation on the way from Bai Yan's office to here, Hei Ta had already guessed most of it, but she still wanted to confirm it.
Bai Yan didn't explain in detail, but simply replied with a smile, "It's just the literal meaning."
"alright, I got it."
The advantage of communicating with intelligent people is that many things don't need to be explained too clearly.
In the video, Black Tower himself posed another question: "So when can we officially meet?"
"Let's find some time later. We can have some tea and desserts, and enjoy the beautiful starry sky together, just like normal friends."
After a brief farewell, Bai Yan left the Black Tower's office and headed to the place where life began to get down to business.
