Starry Sky: My Life Star God, starting reward Ruan Mei

"No, these are the creations of those children themselves. Don't arbitrarily attribute their great achievements to me."

Like Ruan Mei, Bai Yan gazed at the distant buildings and continued, "I only fulfilled my responsibilities as a creator, providing them with shelter. At the same time, they were also bound by the creator's constraints."

He stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, and a complex emotion flickered in his eyes:

“I take responsibility for my unauthorized creation, and at the same time I give them my unauthorized expectations. I expect them not to become villains traveling through the galaxy, so I restrain their steps.”

"The great Father God in their eyes is both a protective barrier and a prison that confines them."

"If being a villain traveling through the galaxy is a form of civilized freedom, we would rather be trapped in a cage."

"That's how they answered me not long ago."

Bai Yan concealed the complex emotions in his eyes and said softly, "What a brilliant realization."

Ruan Mei didn't say much, and took a sip of the tea that Bai Yan had pushed in front of her.

This was the first time she had tasted this tea; it was astringent yet sweet.

Bai Yan strolled back and took out some shiny, dark green coins, placing them on the table.

Ruan Mei casually asked, "What is this?"

"Pay for our tea."

Nguyen Mai calmly remarked, "Did you use the money you asked them for to pay for their tea?"

"No, this is what I earned from them through legitimate labor when I was observing them."

Nguyen Mai boldly commented on the deity before her, while also knowing that the deity could take a joke: "What a strange fellow."

Bai Yan sat back down in his seat: "Aren't there plenty of strange people in the world? Omnipotent doctors, madmen who wreak havoc everywhere, speeding travelers, stone heads that build walls with a bang, circus ringmasters who never stop laughing, and those who just give up..."

Ruan Mei took another sip of tea and responded to him in a conversational manner: "I hope your words won't reach the ears of those Star God believers."

Bai Yan's lips curled slightly: "So what if I hear it?"

Ruan Mei put down her teacup. She knew in her heart that although the person in front of her stood among all living beings, he was a true star god.

The beings in the universe who can freely comment on the star gods and communicate with them.

Bai Yan seemed to read her mind and added, "It's something that can even pierce through a sandwich."

Nguyen Mai looked at him and said, "Even the funniest joke will stop being funny if you tell it too many times."

"But you've never joked about this before."

Bai Yan downed the tea in his cup in one gulp and sighed, "As expected, I still need to use my body to make you smile."

Ruan Mei finished her tea, a faint smile on her face, acknowledging the true meaning of the ambiguous statement: "That's right."

Chapter 53 The Fox Girl and Her Strict Father

The break passed quickly. Bai Yan sent Ruan Mei back to the place where her life began, and Cocolia's conversation with the female elf high priest was also coming to an end.

Bai Yan appeared beside them in an instant and asked calmly, "How did the chat go?"

The high priest sighed sincerely: "Unfortunately, she did not convince me. We will not be making the long journey to aid their Winter Civilization for the time being."

"Temporarily?" Bai Yan asked briefly.

The high priest explained to the father god, “Her ideals move me, and her past saddens me. Our resources did not come by chance; they should play their proper role in the hands of the leaders of the Winter Civilization.”

Cocolia suppressed her emotions and listened quietly.

“We will not interfere in the internal affairs of other civilizations, so I need to get to know the leader of the Winter Civilization. A brief exchange is not enough for me to fully trust her.”

After explaining, the High Priest took out a vibrant green leaf from the World Tree and handed it to Cocolia:

“We can discuss this later. Your civilization can use this to contact me, but as you know, ineffective communication will wear down our mutual patience.”

Bai Yan chimed in, "The World Tree Leaf is an extremely precious gift to the Krus Elf race; your civilization has earned her respect."

Cocolia accepted the palm-sized, emerald-green leaf with both hands.

She also noticed the words of this "father god" just now, that it was her civilization, and Beloborg, who had earned the high priest's respect, not her.

Bai Yan glanced at Cocolia and said goodbye to the High Priest: "We're going back now. I'll come see you again later."

The high priest placed his right hand on his chest, covering the ravine, and bowed slightly in farewell: "Thank you for your concern, Father God. We respectfully bid you farewell."

She watched Bai Yan and Cocolia leave, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

In the blink of an eye, the high priest arrived at a reception room decorated in a natural style.

Inside the room, a fox-woman sat at the table, looking at the tea on it, lost in thought.

The high priest stepped forward and sat down, offering his apologies: "Miss Tingyun, I apologize for keeping you waiting. I was going to fetch something from the pavilion before coming back, but since Father God has come in person, I cannot be negligent."

The woman named Tingyun twitched her fox ears, raised her head, and smiled, "You flatter me. You rescued me and treated me with the courtesy due to a foreign envoy. You have nothing to apologize for. I should be the one thanking you."

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss Tingyun."

The High Priest steered the conversation to the main point: "Unfortunately, our distant civilization, which we may not know but is also bathed in the light of the Father God, has connections with forces such as the Immortal Alliance or the Interstellar Peace Corporation, but we do not."

Tingyun suppressed her changing expressions, trying her best to appear calm.

The high priest could sense her disappointment and comforted her, "Miss Tingyun, there's no need to worry. Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so you can rest here with us for a while. The time to return home will come eventually."

Bai Yan and Cocolia returned to Krippar Castle.

He had just noticed a guy in the Krus civilization's reception room whose life coordinates were slightly different.

They are somewhat similar to the Immortal Boat People. If the Immortal Boat People and the Krus civilization had any contact, then there shouldn't be only one Immortal Boat People in the entire Krus civilization.

Anyway, I'm planning to go back and visit occasionally, we'll see when the time comes.

He made things clear with Cocolia when he left Cripperburg.

Agreeing to the trial means he will treat her like a child he created himself.

A child who makes a serious mistake must endure the severity of his punishment.

Completing the trial means he will take responsibility for helping Belloberg grow and giving him the protection he deserves, but it will also bind this civilization from becoming a villain in the world.

……

Soon after, Bai Yan strolled through the upper and lower levels of Belleburg, observing these lives until night fell.

After reuniting with the March 7th group, the group spent a peaceful night at the Goethe Hotel.

Even Nguyen Mai, who didn't want to leave the place where life began, was dragged out by him to rest together.

Nguyen Mai did not resist, after all, proper rest is necessary to maintain a good condition.

The next morning.

Cocolia got up very early, or rather, she didn't sleep all night.

Bronya discussed the current support policies for the lower city with her adoptive mother, and then went to implement them.

The people in the lower district had a lot of complaints about her mother, but fortunately, the leader of the Earth Fire was a rational person who prioritized accepting support and improving the lives of the people in the lower district.

And then there's that outspoken Earth Fire cadre named Xier. After yesterday's conversation, she discovered that she and Xier used to belong to the same orphanage.

As they got to know each other better, the other party's attitude towards her changed somewhat, but their opinion of her mother remained the same.

Bronya, having witnessed the devastation in the lower city, knew perfectly well what was going on.

People have no obligation to forgive, nor will they forgive.

This hatred will accompany the mother throughout her life.

Cocolia, who hadn't slept all night, sat at the table, looking at the various documents that Bronya had helped organize.

The day Bronya ascended to the throne was not far off, and she deeply felt that Bronya had grown up.

"Looks like you didn't sleep well."

The clear male voice that she had known since yesterday sounded behind her.

The leaf of the World Tree is still within reach, and Bronya and the others say she wasn't in Kripper Castle at that time yesterday.

Endorsed by the god who removed the star core from Belloborg, and having personally witnessed the power of these two gods.

She no longer questioned the identity and power of the deity behind her.

If the other party wanted to do something to Belloberg, they could have easily killed her instead of trying to communicate with her.

The other party was there to give her a chance to immediately embrace spring.

She stood up, turned around, and looked out at the wind and snow through the window beside the deity.

After a night of deliberation and subtle discussions with others, she had made up her mind.

Bai Yan was also looking out the window, his back to her, sensing her life trajectory: "Have you figured it out?"

He turned around, his face devoid of its usual gentleness, his deep black eyes revealing an air of authority.

This was the first time Cocolia had ever seen this god conceal his gentleness.

Fragments of historical materials about Belloberg kept flashing through Cocolia's mind.

"For over seven hundred years, our civilization has never existed to become villains in the world, but to enable the people of Beloborg to live better lives."

With unwavering conviction, she answered clearly, "I accept your trial."

Bai Yan walked to the bookshelves in the spacious office and glanced at the densely packed books and documents on them.

He turned to look at Cocolia, his serious expression filled with sorrow: "The first trial begins. Find me a copy of Beloberg's law book."

Chapter 54 The End of Destiny, the Beginning of Myth

Cocolia quickly found Bai Yan a copy of the Belloberg Law Book.

As Bai Yan flipped through the pages, he walked over to Cocolia and said, "Change your clothes, disguise yourself, and take a stroll around the upper district."

Cocolia didn't quite understand the purpose of this action, but she still made arrangements for the day and told the others to contact her directly if there was anything important.
