Chu Ge mentioned that someone could send the two of them back to Eternal Star.

Xu Wan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then her mind processed it and she blurted out two words.

"Witch?"

"That's right."

Chu Ge nodded gently.

She looked up at the red moon hanging in the sky, and couldn't help but think of the Gluttony Witch, and slowly spoke.

"With the witch's power, even if we don't give her the coordinates, she has a way to send us back to Eternal Star."

The Great Emperor has no weaklings.

Xu Wan had never seen the witch in her true form, but she knew how terrifying the group's strength was.

If you don't have the strength, you simply can't create something like "Witch Game" that can overturn the world.

"But why should they help us?"

Xu Wan raised the most crucial question in her mind.

Chu Ge fell silent and did not give an immediate answer.

Xu Wan continued speaking, her worries growing layer by layer.

"We have absolutely no connection with the witch."

"Leaving aside whether they're even willing to help, how are we supposed to get to them?"

"We can't just rush into that red moon in the sky to look for someone, can we?"

Xu Wan turned her gaze back to the sky.

That crimson moon, with its intense color, was exceptionally dazzling.

She had actually tried to get close to the Red Moon before.

Three months ago, she was bored and curious, so she decided to go inside the Red Moon to see what the witch looked like.

Xu Wan immediately summoned a water dragon.

She stood on the dragon's back, flying continuously toward the red moon.

No matter how much magic she used to rush forward, the distance between her and the Red Moon never shortened by even a fraction.

The moon looked so close, yet it was actually separated by an insurmountable distance, as if it existed independently of this world.

After much effort, Xu Wan had no choice but to give up on the idea.

Chu Ge remained silent.

She kept thinking about how to persuade the Gluttony Witch to give it to her.

If Chu Ge simply wants to see the witch, he has a reliable method with a high probability of success.

The method was to imitate Li Yi and publicly provoke and insult the witch.

However, this method cannot guarantee 100% effectiveness.

Li Yin's success in luring out the witch was partly due to luck.

If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have uttered those harsh words before their life vanished into the world.

As Chu Ge was lost in thought, a soft, languid female voice drifted on the wind to their ears.

"Oh dear, who's talking about me behind my back?"

The whole world fell silent.

The rustling of leaves in the wind, the chirping of insects in the forest—all sounds ceased.

The entire space seemed to be held down by an external force, unable to move.

Deep within the void, a faint light and shadow slowly solidified into a human form. A large swirling halo of pale red light enveloped the figure, completely obscuring its inner form from viewer's view.

The Gluttony Witch has appeared.

Chu Ge and Xu Wan both froze on the spot.

The same thought popped into their minds at the same time.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

The Gluttonous Witch stood high in the sky, overlooking the entire Witch Star, her gaze falling on the two girl figures on the Ginkgo Tree.

A slight smile played on his lips as he looked Chu Ge up and down.

"I was taking a bath just now when I suddenly sneezed. I was wondering who was thinking about me."

"When I came out, I was surprised to find it was an old acquaintance."

The Gluttony Witch took a step forward.

The space folded and twisted in layers, and she landed in front of Chu Ge the next second.

The two were very close, their noses almost touching.

Their eyes met, and after a few seconds of silence, the Gluttony Witch's gentle voice rang out again.

"Did you specifically seek me out because there's something you want to say?"

The witch revealed herself, and Chu Ge didn't beat around the bush, directly stating his desires.

"I would like to ask you to send me and Xu Wan back to Eternal Star."

"I can agree to this."

The Gluttony Witch's smile deepened.

"But why should they help you? They have to offer corresponding terms in return."

"We can accept any conditions."

After Chu Ge finished speaking, he felt that what he said was somewhat unrealistic.

With his current level of cultivation, he probably couldn't satisfy what the Gluttony Witch wanted.

"A word spoken by this Great Emperor is as good as his bond."

Fearing the witch might change her mind, Xu Wan immediately chimed in.

Since the thought of going home came to her mind, her longing for home has grown stronger day by day.

She missed her old home, Deng, and Hajiran.

"You said that yourselves!"

The Gluttony Witch chuckled and, without further beating around the bush, stated her request directly.

"My condition is simple: I want to go to Eternal Star with you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Wan and Chu Ge were both stunned.

"Are the conditions really that simple?"

Xu Wan frowned slightly.

She was prepared for the other party to make all sorts of demanding requests.

For example, they could make a vow of loyalty and serve the witch for eternity.

Or it could be an empty promise, as often seen in online novels, leaving one with a favor that may never be fulfilled.

The same doubts that Xu Wan had were also on Chu Ge's mind.

The witch's conditions were too simple, which seemed rather odd.

"Your own strength is enough to traverse countless planes, so why do you insist on coming in with us?"

Chu Ge stared directly at the Gluttony Witch and bluntly stated his guess.

"Is there some special restriction on Eternal Star? Foreign beings at the Emperor level cannot enter the planet without the permission of the natives."

"Bingo! You got it right!"

The Gluttonous Witch winked playfully at Chu Ge with her left eye, readily admitting it.

"The rules of the Eternal Star you inhabit are special. Beings at the Great Emperor level will be blocked by a barrier when they approach the planet."

"Without the approval of native creatures, it's difficult to even take a single step inside."

Xu Wan frowned even more deeply.

This was the first time she had ever heard of a planet that restricted entry to powerful emperors.

She didn't know who set this rule.

Is it the world's will born from the planet itself, or a protective measure jointly set up by other pre-existing emperors?

Regardless of who is behind it, this rule is clearly intended to protect the native inhabitants of Eternal Star.

Take the gluttonous witch in front of us as an example.

If it weren't for this barrier, the other side would probably have already broken into Eternal Star.

Given the nature of her binge-eating tendencies, she might just start an unrestrained binge-eating party on Eternal Star.

Just imagining the scene of that disaster sent chills down Xu Wan's spine.

"no."

"We won't agree."

Xu Wan stood up straight, her attitude very firm.

"I do want to go home, but I won't do something as stupid as inviting trouble."

"Letting someone like you in, who knows what will happen?"

The image of the music world's destruction is still vividly imprinted in Xu Wan's mind.

The perpetrator of that disaster was merely a Quasi-Emperor of the First Tribulation.

The Gluttony Witch's strength far surpasses that of a quasi-emperor. Once she unleashes her power on Eternal Star, no one on the entire planet will be able to stop her.

"Xu Wan is right."

Chu Ge spoke calmly, standing on the side of the black-haired, vicious dog girl.

"We cannot agree to this condition."

"...If all else fails, let's just pretend we never mentioned going home today."

Seeing the two girls refuse her with serious expressions, the Gluttony Witch's smile deepened, as if she were watching something amusing.

"Oh dear, you're all thinking too badly of me."

"Do you think I only cause disasters everywhere?"

The Gluttonous Witch looked at Chu Ge with a hint of grievance in her eyes, and spoke slowly.

"Our previous encounters escalated to a life-or-death struggle, but the responsibility doesn't lie entirely with me."

"You were the ones who attacked me first; I was just fighting back to protect myself."

After listening, Xu Wan turned her head to look at Chu Ge, her eyes filled with a subtle expression.

"That seems to make sense."

"Looking at it this way, the witch doesn't seem as ferocious as we imagined."

When the two were alone, Xu Wan specifically asked Chu Ge about his crushing defeat and how he ended up with only his head.

Chu Ge told her the whole story.

After hearing the whole story, Xu Wan shook her head repeatedly and said bluntly: "Old Chu, what you did was really unethical."

"You understand me best."

The Gluttony Witch nodded in agreement.

"Among my sisters, she's universally acknowledged to have the best personality!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cloud of yellow mist exploded out of thin air.

As the mist slowly dissipated, three pale yellow puddings floated in the air and drifted to the hands of the three people.

Chu Ge and Xu Wan reached out and caught it, looking down at the item in their hands with surprise on their faces.

"Is this for us to eat?"

Xu Wan stared at the cold pudding in her hand, her mind filled with doubt.

"What exactly is she planning?"

"I don't know either."

Chu Ge gently shook his head.

On the other side, the Gluttonous Witch had already lifted the outer lid of the pudding and picked up a spoon to take small bites.

The pudding slid into my mouth, its smooth and soft texture, mixed with the rich aroma of mango, filling my mouth.

Gluttony Witch: (≧▽≦)(≧▽≦)(≧▽≦)~~~! ​​! !

She sat on a tree branch, scooping out pudding spoonful after spoonful, her legs swaying back and forth uncontrollably, her eyebrows curving into two arcs.

Seeing that Chu Ge and Xu Wan were holding the pudding without moving, the Gluttonous Witch quickly urged them to hurry up.

"Hurry up and try it!"

"Mango flavor is my specialty dessert."

"The icy sensation will dissipate if left out for too long, and the taste will be greatly diminished."

Hearing the persuasion, the two stopped arguing and each lifted the lid of their pudding to taste it.

Not long after, two voices rang out from the branches of the ginkgo tree.

"Old Chu."

"What's wrong?"

"This pudding... is quite delicious."

I think so too.

After a few bites of pudding, Xu Wan keenly sensed something was amiss.

This dessert contains a pure magic.

The concentration far exceeded any opportunity or treasure she had ever found before.

The magic flowed down his throat into his body, nourishing his meridians, and his cultivation level steadily increased.

Six months ago, Xu Wan broke through to the mid-stage of the Grand Magister.

Based on her normal cultivation speed, it would take her at least one or two years to hone her foundation in order to break through to the next realm.

Now, after just a few bites of pudding, the magic power within his body has begun to stir, showing signs of a breakthrough.

What's even more remarkable is that the magic growth is completely solid, without any hidden dangers of being superficial or unstable.

After finishing the last bite of pudding.

The magical power within his body surged violently.

Xu Wan successfully broke through her cultivation level, entering the late stage of Grand Magister, and her overall strength increased significantly.

The changes in Chu Ge were equally obvious.

She broke through to the late stage of Archmage a long time ago, and then slowed down her magic cultivation, focusing on the fusion and control of the six magic elements.

If we were to categorize proficiency levels, her most skilled musical magic would reach level five.

The other five magic types are all stable at level four.

With her current mastery of spatial magic, she can now recreate the escape scene from the music world and take three people with her at the same time.

Halfway through eating the pudding, Chu Ge's mental world was filled with a thunderous roar and vibration.

His cultivation level broke through smoothly, reaching the peak of the Archmage realm.

"A few bites of dessert, and I broke through to a higher realm."

Chu Ge muttered to himself, looking down at the half-eaten pudding in his hand, momentarily lost in thought.

She finished the rest of the pudding.

The magical power within his body rose to another level.

With a little more focused training, I should be able to successfully break through to the level of a Grand Magister.

Xu Wan stretched out her index finger and gently poked Chu Ge's arm.

"Old Chu."

"What's wrong?"

Chu Ge turned to look at her. "Was there a trap hidden in the pudding?"

"no."

Xu Wan shook her head, her attitude extremely serious.

"I think we were too prejudiced against her before. She's not actually that dangerous."

"You're right, aren't you?"

Chu Ge stared at Xu Wan's satisfied expression, and four words popped into his mind.

The Law of True Fragrance.

The "True Fragrance Law" roars: I may be late, but I will never be absent!

Xu Wan leaned close to Chu Ge's ear and whispered to him.

"Ask her if she has any more of the same pudding at home."

"Why did you make me ask that question?"

"You two are sworn brothers, locked in a love-hate relationship. How can I compare to you?"

"Life-and-death friendship," "love-hate relationship"? These two phrases aren't used like that, are they?"

"Then you're closer to her, that reason should be acceptable, right?"

"……walk slowly."

The two huddled together and whispered to each other, thinking they were keeping their voices very low.

But every word of this commotion reached the ears of the Gluttony Witch.

She didn't expose their little scheme, but simply smiled gently.

The next second, three more clouds of yellow mist exploded in the void.

Three servings of mango pudding floated in mid-air.

The surprises didn't stop there.

Various colored mists appeared out of thin air one after another, and then exploded one after another.

Tiramisu, strawberry cream cake, durian mille-feuille... a variety of exquisite desserts filled the air.

A blood-red moon hangs overhead, while a brutal gluttony party is taking place outside.

On the branches of the sacred ginkgo tree, a dessert feast was laid out just for the three of them.

"These are all for you, eat as much as you like!"

The Gluttony Witch smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Then this great emperor will not stand on ceremony."

Xu Wan reached out and grabbed the pudding that floated in front of her. Just as she took a bite, the Gluttony Witch's voice rang out.

"Oh dear, I almost forgot."

"These are just ordinary desserts, containing no magic. They can only be eaten as snacks to satisfy cravings; they won't help you improve your cultivation."

She tilted her head slightly and added earnestly.

"It's fine to enjoy a magical delicacy occasionally, but relying on desserts to improve one's cultivation over a long period of time will disrupt the foundation of one's cultivation."

"The matter of improving one's realm still requires one's own daily practice and refinement; one cannot always think of taking shortcuts."

"Me? Do you even need to tell me?"

Xu Wan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly began to defend herself.

"My cultivation is profound; why would I need to rely on external objects or tricks to break through?"

"Even without external help, relying solely on perseverance and hard work, I will still be able to stand at the top of the heavens in the future."

"Okay~" The Gluttonous Witch smiled faintly and did not continue to argue.

The three sat quietly on the branches of the Ginkgo tree, gazing at the red moon in the sky while slowly savoring various desserts.

These snacks have no magical properties, but their flavor is exceptionally delicious, a taste rarely seen in the heavens.

The Gluttony Witch, who wields the Law of Gluttony, is herself a true connoisseur of food and can be considered one of the top gourmets in the universe.

All the desserts in front of you were made by her own hands, using ingredients she prepared herself.

An hour later, all the desserts floating in mid-air were eaten.

The Gluttony Witch conjured a handkerchief and gently wiped away the cream stains from the corners of her mouth, her tone becoming languid and calm.

"They won't hide it from you."

"I have two reasons for going to Eternity."

"First of all, I've never set foot on that planet before; I just find it novel and interesting."

"My greatest hobby in life is tasting all kinds of food. I can find many ingredients I've never eaten before when I go to a new planet."

She blinked, a sly glint in her eyes, then her expression softened and her tone became serious.

"The second point is the real reason why I must go to Eternal Star."

"I'm looking for someone."

"Who is it? Do you need our help in finding them?"

Xu Wan, being a righteous person, immediately took the initiative to speak up.

In the short time they spent together, she had already let down her guard against the Gluttony Witch and completely accepted her.

He was just short of reaching out and putting his arm around the other person's shoulder and calling out "Old Bao".

The Gluttonous Witch moved swiftly, instantly shifting from Chu Ge's side to Xu Wan's front.

Her slender, fair index finger gently touched Xu Wan's lips, and she spoke softly.

"This person is my secret—I can't tell anyone yet."

"But don't worry~"

She reached out and took Xu Wan's arm, swaying it gently from side to side, her tone carrying a hint of coquetry.

"If I really intended to destroy Eternal Star, I could simply break through the barrier by force without needing your consent at all~".

Xu Wan was at a loss for what to do because of her soft and gentle attitude, and turned to Chu Ge for advice.

"Old Chu, what do you think about this?"

"What she said makes sense."

Chu Ge slowly opened his mouth and expressed his opinion.

"All twelve witches possess the cultivation level of an Emperor. If they were to join forces, no force in the entire heavens would be able to withstand them..."

Chu Ge didn't say much in the second half of the sentence, but Xu Wan fully understood the hidden meaning behind it.

With twelve great emperors joining forces, they form a top-tier combat force across the entire universe.

If they were only after Eternal Star, they wouldn't need to go to such lengths to negotiate with the two of them.

Xu Wan then thought of another key point.

With the Gluttony Witch's power, controlling their minds would be a piece of cake.

If the other party uses any means to distort their thoughts, the two women will be forced to agree to their demands.

The other party did not use any force from beginning to end, and the entire process was based on good negotiation.

...and treated them to food.

After much deliberation, Chu Ge and Xu Wan exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement to the Gluttony Witch's conditions.

"Then you go back and pack your things now, and we'll set off immediately once you're ready."

A bright smile spread across the Gluttony Witch's face.

"no problem."

Chu Ge and Xu Wan exchanged a glance, then leaped down from the tall ginkgo tree and entered the White Bell Shrine.

The two didn't have much luggage to pack; the only thing they needed to do was say a proper goodbye to their companions whom they had spent every day with at the shrine.

……

The shrine courtyard was filled with familiar figures, and the sounds of conversations could be heard everywhere.

Arya quickly stepped forward, reached out and hugged Chu Ge tightly, her voice soft, tinged with reluctance.

"Sister, I will miss you every day."

"I'll miss Arya too."

Chu Ge raised his hand, wiping away the tears that had fallen from the corner of the girl's eyes with his fingertips, and carefully gave her instructions on what to do next.

"After Xu Wan and I leave, your master will also go to the heavens soon, and she will take Xiao Caihua with her."

"By then, the shrine will only have you, Clara, and Lilith left. Lilith is too naive, and you'll need to take good care of her in the future."

"Uh-huh."

Aria nodded vigorously, her gaze falling on Chu Ge's shoulder.

Amber, with its dark golden fur, was dozing on top of it.

"Amber, come here and let me touch you, as a proper farewell."

Arya reached out and gently rubbed the kitten's soft fur on its head.

"Meow."

Amber let out a lazy groan, too lazy to even open her eyelids.

Having been at the Shirare Bell Shrine for so long, in everyone's eyes, Amber's daily life consists of only two things.

Eating and sleeping.

However, its cultivation level improved at an astonishing speed.

In less than two years, he has steadily progressed from the initial S-rank to the late S-rank.

Chu Ge had noticed something was wrong with the abnormal speed at which Amber was improving.

But everyone has secrets they can't tell others.

Hakimi was no exception.

Amber was unwilling to confess, nor would she actively ask or inquire.

Clara stepped forward and stood opposite Chu Ge, her eyes resolute.

"Sister, please leave without worry. I will take good care of everyone at the shrine."

The disaster that destroyed the music world back then did not diminish the passion and tenderness in the girl's heart.

After arriving at the shrine, where rooms were limited, Clara shared a room with Arya.

At first, the two got along well, and the room was quiet and peaceful late at night.

Recently, however, the two have stopped restraining their nature at night, and strange noises often come from their room, which can easily lead others to overthink.

Lilith pushed through the crowd and stood in front of Chu Ge, speaking louder than anyone else present.

"Goodbye, Chu Ge! Lilith will protect the shrine and everyone!"

She reached out and hugged Chu Ge tightly, resting her head gently on his shoulder.

"I will miss you terribly after we break up."

"I miss Lilith too."

Chu Ge raised his hand and patted her back, softly introducing his hometown.

"My hometown is called Eternal Star."

"There is a sun and a moon there too, maybe even the same one as the sun and moon on Witch Star."

"Once I'm able to build an interplanetary portal on my own, I'll bring all of you over for a visit."

After saying goodbye to Lilith, Xiaocaihua pushed through the crowd and hugged Chu Ge tightly, tears streaming down her face.

Su Lingbai, who was watching from the sidelines, was slightly stunned when she saw this scene.

She was secretly puzzled. It must be some strange coincidence that Little Vegetable Flower would take the initiative to say goodbye to Chu Ge properly.

Didn't she always dislike Chu Ge? When did their relationship become so close?

Little Cauliflower leaned close to Chu Ge's ear, her voice extremely low, as faint as the fluttering of a mosquito's wings.

"Don't forget, you still owe me one thing."

"Don't worry, I won't forget."

Chu Ge nodded gently, and the two loosened their embracing arms.

To outsiders, the two did not exchange a single word and parted quietly.

However, Su Lingbai and the Gluttonous Witch were highly skilled, and their whispered conversation reached their ears completely.

Every subtle movement that occurs on Witch Star cannot escape the Gluttony Witch's perception.

She was aware of the "shady" deal between Xiaocaihua and Chuge.

She watched it with great interest that day.

Su Lingbai frowned slightly, realizing at a glance that there was a secret between the two.

She secretly made up her mind to find Xiao Caihua alone later and find out what was going on.

At this moment, Su Lingbai noticed a gaze falling on her.

She looked up and saw the Gluttony Witch sitting on a branch of the Ginkgo tree, staring straight at her.

Their eyes met.

The Gluttonous Witch gave Su Lingbai a meaningful smile.

Not long after, the Gluttony Witch swayed and landed next to Lilith, reaching out to tease the evil spirit girl she had once raised for three years.

The crowd quieted down a bit, and Su Lingbai walked up to Chu Ge, becoming the last person to step forward and say goodbye.

She didn't say much, only uttering two simple words.

"Take care of yourself."

All farewells have come to an end.

The Gluttony Witch spoke.

"Let's go!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a dark passage slowly appeared in the void of the courtyard.

This boundary bridge connecting Witch Star and Eternal Star was not built using spatial power, but was formed entirely by the Gluttony Law controlled by the Gluttony Witch herself.

Chu Ge, Xu Wan, and the Gluttonous Witch stepped into the interdimensional passage.

Xu Wan stood at the entrance of the passage and waved vigorously to everyone in the courtyard.

"Take care, everyone. I, the Great Emperor, will definitely return to visit you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the entrance to the passage slowly closed.

The entire void returned to its original state, and no trace of the passage could be found.

……

Eternal Star.

Spring of the sixth year of the Magic Calendar.

After the planet's magic was restored, the concentration of magic in the world became richer day by day.

Today, the concentration of local magic is comparable to that of other planes in the universe, and it continues to rise steadily.

Spiritual springs and magical plants are no longer rare resources that were once uncommon.

As long as you have money, you can buy whatever you want.

The probability of awakening a magician on Eternal Star has increased dramatically, and now almost everyone can awaken their magical talent.

At the same time, Yonghengxing's local technology sector is experiencing explosive growth.

The most significant progress has been made in the field of gene evolution, with a variety of special evolutionary agents being successfully developed one after another.

Top-tier potions remain scarce and valuable, while basic potions are now included in students' monthly subsidies and distributed regularly.

With the help of these specially made potions, low-level mages can possess a physique comparable to that of monsters.

The ten magic universities officially established a few years ago are now all full of students.

The first students to enter the magic high school after the magic was restored, and they just entered their third year last year.

Three years ago, a momentous event occurred on Eternal Star that completely changed the world's landscape.

When everyone woke up, they found that the entire planet had expanded out of thin air, and the planet's population had increased dramatically.

A new batch of extraterrestrial humans, not native to Eternal Star, possessing special powers, have emerged.

Numerous independent secret realms have sprung up around the world, inhabited by monsters and rare magical plants.

From that day on, the frequency of aberrations doubled, and the intensity of their attacks far exceeded that of before.

High-level officials from all sides spent a great deal of time investigating and finally uncovered the truth of the whole incident.

The Eternal Star and the Fourth World completed their dimensional fusion, merging the two planets into one, and their territory naturally expanded.

Those outsiders with special powers are the Ordered Ones of the Fourth World.

The numerous hidden realms are all byproducts of the fusion of different planes.

The sudden dimensional merging initially triggered widespread turmoil.

The top leaders of both worlds held an emergency joint meeting and, after much discussion, finalized the rules.

Humans from both worlds put aside their differences, coexist peacefully, and refrain from provoking conflict.
