At first, everyone thought that Divina was just a little angel brought back by the little knight, and that apart from being a bit strong-willed, she was also very lovable.
But after several months of getting to know her, people's understanding of Divina was constantly being refreshed.
First of all, Divina's strength far exceeded their expectations.
While drawing the enemy's attention, Atreus and his companions encountered mostly saints and demigods, who could easily crush them.
Even the occasional true gods that were created through some unknown means were not a threat to Atreus and Aatrox. In addition, Vigus had emptied the royal treasury and brought a large number of treasures, so their journey was relatively smooth.
However, not all enemies were fools who only knew how to throw their lives away. During a sting operation, the vassals of the God-King Council bribed a mid-level god from the Star God System with some promise to make a move, while several true gods took advantage of the gap in the defense to descend.
The overwhelming power, far exceeding everyone's expectations, coupled with the fact that Aatrox's equipment had been stripped off by Luo Tian and he could not unleash his peak combat power, instantly caused the battle to take a sharp turn for the worse.
At this critical moment, Divina, who had always appeared as a weak little girl, made her move and easily killed the god of medium divine power and several true gods. Her strength left everyone speechless.
Then the whole thing started to change.
Originally, everyone wanted to protect Divina and lure out those with ulterior motives, but after Divina took action, it turned into two little girls fishing all the way, uprooting the many vassal forces that had submitted to the God King Council.
Not only the various indigenous forces, but even some traitors within the Star God System who seemed to have sided with the Great Yin Empire were killed after being lured into a trap by Divina.
The originally innocent angelic little girl stopped pretending to be cute after her true colors were revealed and directly transformed into a cunning and scheming little girl.
His ruthless methods impressed even Aatrox, who exclaimed that he was an expert!
Yet this powerful and cunning little girl, who instilled fear in everyone at Juying Hall, actually shed tears in front of Luo Tian after failing to win his favor.
Thinking about this, the group from Juying Hall felt their worldview crumbling once again.
With a little girl in each hand, Luo Tian let the two little ones perch on his shoulders and looked at the group of people in the courtyard who were questioning their existence.
"What are you all doing outside? Let's go inside!"
After saying that, he carried the two little girls and headed towards the front door of his house.
The group from Juying Pavilion followed behind. Divina, who was perched on Luo Tian's shoulder, secretly glanced at the group of people with strange expressions, puffed out her cheeks, and made a cute but fierce little face.
Those bright, large eyes stared directly at the group, as if warning them not to meddle.
Yasuo quickly suppressed the smile on his face and coughed a few times in a serious manner.
The stone golem perched on Yasuo's shoulder closed its eyes, indicating that it was just a stone that knew nothing.
Atreus clutched the speaker tightly, looking around aimlessly as if nothing had happened, seemingly observing the surrounding scenery.
Seeing that everyone was so sensible, Divina nestled comfortably on Luo Tian's shoulder, her little nose constantly snorting as she enjoyed the rare opportunity to be close to her father.
The little knight, who was at the back, watched the group enter the living room on the first floor, shook his little head, and prepared to follow them in.
But then the little knight suddenly remembered something, ran to pull out the trembling black shadow huddled in the blanket, and made it carry Vigus on its back.
Then the little knight ran to the flower bed and used his little paws to dig out Aatrox, who was almost buried in the ground.
Aatrox couldn't help but sigh in a hoarse voice:
"You little guy care about me more than I do. It's all worth it for me to have taken good care of you before."
The little knight didn't seem to mind at all. His palm-sized body effortlessly dragged the magic sword, and he turned and followed them into the living room on the first floor of the villa.
After the little knight brought Aatrox, whom he had dug out of the ground, back to the living room, Luo Tian and the others were already seated on the sofa.
Aatrox spoke up:
"Knight, just put me on the sofa next to them."
The little knight glanced disdainfully at Aatrox's sword and buried it directly in the ground. Although Aatrox's sword remained spotless, some dirt inevitably got into the gaps in the patterns on the hilt.
"If you put Aatrox on the sofa, it will definitely get the sofa dirty!"
The clean-loving little knight tilted his head and thought for a moment, then dragged the magic sword and inserted Aatrox into his personal Cambridge—the flowerpot in front of the windowsill.
"you!!!"
Aatrox was furious, but the little knight, having done all that, had already turned and left, completely ignoring Aatrox's thoughts.
The little knight incident was just a brief interlude. Luo Tian, who had just sat down on the sofa, was thinking of putting down the two little girls in his arms.
But the two little ones clung tightly to Luo Tian's clothes, refusing to let go and unwilling to leave his embrace.
Luo Tian could only smile helplessly and sit on the sofa with the two little ones in his arms.
The relaxed smile on his face gradually faded, and Luo Tian looked seriously at the group from Juying Hall, speaking solemnly:
"This trip to the Xuanhuang Great World was originally intended to last ten days, and then return before the great battle begins to take charge of the situation."
But an unexpected event occurred, causing a delay of six months.
"Qianyu went to the front line to take charge of the battle for me. In the capital, people's hearts were in turmoil. The God King Conference lured a large number of traitors into the capital to sabotage the city."
It is truly commendable that you stepped forward at this time to help remove most of the threats from the capital.
At this point, Luo Tian couldn't help but feel a touch of emotion in his voice.
After obtaining the Empire's records from Shuangye over the past few months, Luo Tian realized just how difficult it was to accomplish these things.
The large-scale gathering of spies in the capital began before May. At that time, as the God King Conference secretly transmitted batches of supplies, those previously unknown forces expanded rapidly.
The sudden influx of extraordinary individuals who gained immense power not only disrupted the balance of the extraordinary system, but more importantly, these individuals were unable to maintain their composure and began to wreak havoc throughout the entire Star World.
As the core of the Great Yin Empire and the target of spies, the capital city naturally became the first to be targeted.
Every day, dozens of powerful figures at the Saint and Demigod levels flood into the capital, causing chaos.
During the most chaotic days, a large number of saints and demigods gathered and attacked the palace without even bothering to conceal their identities.
Although the Great Yin Empire was powerful, it could not withstand the rapid military buildup of the God King Council. A large number of high-level superhumans died in battle, and even with the intervention of gods, it was difficult to stop the endless stream of spies.
After all, the gods have to guard against forces from outside the star world, and they can't possibly attend to both at the same time.
At this critical moment, Divina and Du Xinxin claimed to be the heirs of the regent and left the capital overnight, attracting the attention of almost all high-level superhumans.
After multiple sources confirmed the close relationship between Divina, Du Xinxin, and the Regent, the God-King Council immediately listed the two as their primary targets and vowed to assassinate them at all costs.
The people in Juying Hall were originally left behind by Luo Tian to gain experience for him, and they were basically used as tools on a daily basis.
But to his surprise, these were the very people who stepped forward during the crisis in the capital and withstood such pressure to protect the two little girls.
Although the little girls may not necessarily need protection, Luo Tian still admired their actions.
Faced with Luo Tian's praise, the group from Juying Hall looked embarrassed.
They were unaware that Luo Tian was aware of Divina's strength. In their view, aside from clearing out some minor enemies in the early stages of the operation, they were actually the ones being protected later on.
They wanted to tell Luo Tian the truth, but the threat from a certain cunning little girl prevented them from speaking, so they could only grit their teeth and accept the praise.
This was truly unbearable for these proud heroes.
Yeah! Except for that one slacking-off Poppy.
The atmosphere in the room became awkward.
Luo Tianxin was puzzled. He was clearly praising someone, so why did the atmosphere feel off?
After frowning and pondering for a long time, Luo Tian still couldn't give an answer, so he decided to give the group some tangible rewards.
"How about this!" Luo Tian said after a moment's hesitation, "Consider this a favor I owe you. Each of you can make one request that I can handle."
Upon hearing this, Yasuo quickly tried to refuse.
Among the group involved in this operation, Yasuo's strength was already among the lowest, and it was thought that the addition of Veigs would boost Yasuo's confidence.
However, although Vigus is not strong, she is good at spending money.
With Frosty Night's help, Vigus practically emptied the royal treasury, taking out numerous treasures to protect the two little girls.
With these treasures, Vigus was even able to fight against true gods, far stronger than Yasuo who could only use his ultimate on weak minions. Along the way, she could only barely keep up.
Yasuo already felt unworthy of Luo Tian's praise, and when Luo Tian mentioned the reward, his pride naturally wouldn't allow him to accept it.
Yasuo stood up and bowed to Luo Tian, saying solemnly, "I am unworthy of this honor, please accept it..."
"Whether you want to gain power comparable to a god-king, or return to your original world, I can grant your wish."
As soon as Luo Tian spoke, Yasuo, who had been refusing with a serious expression, immediately changed his demeanor.
Aside from the vast difference in strength, the most important reason he submitted to Luo Tian was that he wanted to return to Rune Continent and find the real culprit who killed Elder Su Ma.
The opportunity is now right in front of him. Given Luo Tian's strength in annihilating the God King's alliance a few days ago, Yasuo is fully confident that he has the ability to return to Runeterra and find the real culprit who killed Elder Suma.
Is one's own pride more important? Or the hope of revenge?
The words that were already on the tip of his tongue got stuck in his throat, and Yasuo, with a serious expression, sat back down on the sofa without saying a word.
Luo Tian chuckled but didn't say anything.
Whether a hero or a deity, no one can refuse the value brought by the human kindness of a great being.
Luo Tian turned his gaze to the others, waiting with great interest for their replies.
Chapter 334 The Stone Man Who Possesses His Own Brain!
The first to speak was naturally Yasuo. The Wind Swordsman, sitting upright, showed less of his previous frivolity and unrestrained manner, and solemnly addressed Luo Tian:
"I would like to ask my lord to send me back to Runeterra."
After a slight pause, Yasuo said with shame:
"As a warrior loyal to my lord, I should not have made any demands, but in the days since I left Runeterra, my desire for revenge has never ceased."
Revenge is my driving force. Now that I have grasped the profound meaning of the Wind-Riding Sword Dao, I should be qualified for revenge. After I have avenged myself, I will surely return to serve my lord once more!
After saying that, Yasuo knelt down in front of Luo Tian in a dogeza (a traditional Japanese swearing posture).
Seeing Yasuo's actions, Luo Tian did not stop him but nodded slightly and said:
I understand your feelings.
This is a gift from me to you; you have no reason to refuse it.
"However, Runeterra is too far away from here, most likely on the other side of the World Sea, and it will take some time just to locate it."
"Once the location of Runeterra is confirmed, I will send you back."
Luo Tian made no attempt to conceal anything in his words; the location of the Rune Land was not within the realms.
The World Ocean is vast and boundless, containing countless worlds like the sands of the Ganges. Locating the coordinates of Runeterra within such a vast area is no easy task, even for a great god.
Luo Tian lacked the ability in this area, so he planned to entrust this matter to the will of the abyss or Zhen Yuanzi.
