I would rather betray the gods

Following the direction Yuzu sensed, the three of them arrived at a small county town.

During the journey, Lao Xu told him everything he knew:

From the moment he cast a divination to connect with this planet, he became filled with curiosity about it, and secretly cast divinations many times to find out what was going on.

The divination told him that many prophecies about the Blue Fat Star have been passed down since ancient times, and they all point to this point in time, saying that a holy king will be born to save and govern the world, leading it towards a better and more harmonious world.

More specifically, the secrets of heaven are not revealed and the divination results are not available. Fortunately, Yuzi has already arrived here, so we can take it one step at a time and wait for the truth to surface.

Upon entering the small county town, the overwhelming modern atmosphere made the three realize that not only was the structure of Blue Fat Planet extremely similar to Earth, but the progress of its civilization was also remarkably synchronized.

The timelines of the two planets are synchronized within a few years!

Even more surprisingly, they learned from research in the county bookstore that the distribution of human settlements and historical events on this planet were surprisingly similar to those on Earth, with only minor differences.

Just like when I first saw the words on Xu Xiangsheng's color flag, I didn't know the source but I could understand them.

After gaining a preliminary understanding of the planet, the three had mixed feelings of joy and worry.

The good news is that they can integrate into this world more quickly and find the prophet sooner.

The worry is that they are newcomers with no relatives or friends, and don't even have a starting point.

Take their current preparation to leave the bookstore, for example. Old Xu is carrying a stack of books on the I Ching, and the three of them don't have a single cent of the planet's currency to pay for it.

"How about we come back another day to buy it? It's inconvenient to bring so much stuff today."

Try to find an excuse that makes the pomelo look rounder.

No no no~

Old Xu immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, his childlike expression seeming to say that he was determined not to let go of books he liked from another planet, no matter what!

"Even if it's inconvenient, a few more books won't make a difference. Electronic products are so prevalent these days, and paper books are very cheap. Let's just satisfy this uncle."

The shop assistants were actively helping and promoting the product.

this...

Yuzu and Yuebai were in a dilemma.

Or you could pawn your jewelry at the bookstore.

Yuzu looked at the moon-white earrings.

Why should I use mine...? Okay...

At first, Yuebai strongly objected, but when she looked at Youzi's outfit—a shirt, shorts, and slippers?!—she had no choice but to compromise.

She then realized that this mighty god-king had actually crossed stars wearing slippers!

Given his attire, let alone finding something on him to offset the cost of books, people might not even agree to pawn him.

Not to mention that unkempt old Xu, the two are equally bad.

"It's just a few books, why pawn such beautiful jewelry?"

Just as Yuebai was taking off her earrings, a woman walked over and paid for their meal.

The woman had large eyes, thick eyelashes, and wore two braids; she looked to be in her thirties.

"You don't look like locals, you must be having some kind of trouble."

Perhaps because they were both in the same bookstore, the woman was very concerned about them because they shared the same interests.

Just then, the television hanging on the wall was broadcasting news about a major flood in another country.

Yuebai, quick-witted, pointed at the television and said, "We fled from there, and now we are penniless and destitute."

"Oh my god, I guessed right."

The woman frowned slightly.

She then moved her eyes left and right, as if she had made a decision, and then took out a postcard and gave it to Yuebai, saying, "Take this to the largest factory nearby, it might be able to help you."

After saying that, she left without looking up.

Through the bookstore window, people saw her get into a private luxury car.

"You guys are really lucky. That lady is a famous horse trainer in the city. With her postcard, I'm sure you'll find it easy to find work!"

The shop assistant cast an envious glance at them.

Yu Qiuyue.

Looking at the postcard, Yuebai silently recited to herself. After hearing what the shop assistant said, she couldn't help but sigh at how quickly the opportunity had come.

Then she looked at Yuzu, the one who triggered this opportunity, to see if he had this concept, and if so, how he would react.

She was so curious about the Dream Palace Master's imagination—whether it had limits, and where those limits lay.

To her surprise, Yuzu's reaction was astonishing. Yuzu stared intently out the shop window, her eyes practically sprouting wings, as if she wanted to follow the beautiful horse trainer away.

"What are you looking at!"

Yuebai stood in front of him, but unfortunately, she wasn't tall enough and had to stand on tiptoe.

Rumor has it that the God King Pisces reincarnated into the mortal realm for his beloved, and now he's changed his mind? She's indignant for the fact that he's not Pisces' wife!

"Her phone...she paid with her phone."

Yuzu's staring gaze returned to normal, and she spoke with great emotion.

"The timeline here is a few years ahead of theirs, so isn't it normal to have cell phones here?"

Yuebai realized that his attention didn't seem to be on the beautiful woman.

Yes, yes, yes!

Yuzu nodded excitedly, took out her phone, and wiped the screen with her palm, her eyes shining brightly.

This light, it seems, could almost speak; the moon's whiteness can only be described in four words: "to see something and feel a pang of nostalgia."

Realizing she had misunderstood him, she asked the shop assistant to borrow his charger to see if it was compatible. The result was very satisfactory, a pleasant surprise from heaven for this affectionate man.

But Yuzu had other ulterior motives in mind, which Yuebai saw through immediately. He deliberately put on a stern face and reminded her, "The two sides are far apart, so I don't recommend long-distance communication."

If the shop assistant hadn't been there, she would have wanted to point it out directly: Yuzu shouldn't go to such lengths to build a communication system between the two planets just for her own selfish reasons, since this is an undeveloped part of the galaxy and it's not worth it.

Fortunately, some things only need to be hinted at; those who understand will naturally understand.

"That's right, that's right, I'm quite content just being able to look through my phone!"

Yuzu readily agreed with a grin, but secretly she had other plans: Find a way to contact the head housekeeper → quickly establish an interstellar communication system → ensure compatibility between the two satellites' signals → contact her beloved Fang Yuan, oh yeah...

Two days later, in the evening, in a rural courtyard near a county town.

A small square table was set up in the courtyard, with sliced ​​watermelon on it.

Old Xu sat to the side, holding a melon in one hand and a book in the other, eating and reading at the same time, looking quite content.

Yuebai sat opposite, holding a palm-leaf fan, gazing thoughtfully at the moon in the sky.

This is their temporary home. Thanks to the benefactor Yu Qiuyue, who introduced them to a large factory that has taken care of everything for them.

The courtyard wasn't large, but it had a main house and side rooms, enough for their daily lives.

As for Yuzi, she returned in the time it took Yuebai to yawn, wearing her factory uniform.

"His Highness is back."

Yuebai put down the palm-leaf fan, stood up, and asked with concern.

Yuzu ignored him, plopped down at the small table, and angrily started eating watermelon. As the crisp, delicious flesh went down her throat, she let out a long, satisfying sigh. "Why do I have to work in the factory tightening screws while you two can just laze around at home!"

So that's what made him unhappy.

Old Xu was engrossed in his book when he secretly glanced at him, then immediately buried himself in his book again, ignoring him completely.

After a while, no one paid any attention to her. Unable to vent her frustration, Yuzi picked up another piece of watermelon and ate it, spitting out the seeds with great force.

"Your Highness, please make do. We have no other labor force besides you. I'm underage, so they definitely don't want me. Old Xu is over fifty and doesn't want me either. You'll have to work hard in exchange for our daily meals."

Yuebai returned from the kitchen with a bowl of hot food, placing it on the table while offering words of comfort.

Actually, Yuzu knew all this, but she was used to a life of luxury and was not used to working. She felt uncomfortable and just wanted to vent.

So he didn't refute Yuebai, but he still looked unhappy.

He only calmed down after Yuebai set out the food and put the chopsticks in his hand.

During the meal, Yuebai told him that she and Lao Xu hadn't been idle these past two days either, browsing various websites or listening to rumors, and had gained a general understanding of the situation on this planet:

This planet is currently plagued by natural disasters and internal and external troubles.

Internal troubles and constant natural disasters.

External threats seem to be looming, with a mysterious civilization lurking and potentially infiltrating the planet, acting as a catalyst to hasten its demise.

However, the world is blind and unaware that any bold conjectures that are occasionally raised are buried as nonsense.

In short, civilization on this planet is terminally ill, everyone longs to return to a better life, yet no one can turn the tide.

The prophecy passed down from ancient times became people's only hope, saying that "a person will emerge from the fields" and will appear out of nowhere at a time of crisis for civilization.

Yuzu couldn't help but feel confused when she heard the last part.

He thought it was a good thing that such a person was born on this planet.

Why would Xu Xiangsheng want to harm the person who could find this person?
