I, the Rock King Emperor with 21 billion in power, have joined the chat group.

He carried a strange greatsword that appeared to be pieced together from metal sheets.

The red-haired girl named Lila Asple was both a legitimate hero and a weapon sent by the Church of Praise to kill the extraordinary star god Eluk Hawkesden.

"what....."

Lila is on the verge of death.

The body is injured! Blood is flowing!

Countless lacerations ravaged her outer garments and the skin beneath, each a deep wound that could easily be fatal if the slightest mistake were made.

Ailu can transform simple doubts into thought waves and release them.

A suspicion devoid of hostility or murderous intent, simple and clear.

However, the psychic waves containing extraordinary power created a fierce impact, echoing within the sealed barrier and severely damaging Lila's mind.

Lila let out a scream like a waterbird being choked, and struggled in agony.

Black Candle's words were not an exaggeration at all—the giant whale could manipulate the small fish swimming nearby simply by turning its body, and compared to the extraordinary soul that Ailu possessed, Lila's insignificant human soul was equivalent to dust.

Lila bent her knees and almost collapsed on the spot.

She barely managed to stay upright by using her greatsword, the holy sword Sereneolith, as a crutch.

Forward, ever forward!

She dragged her feet, taking one step at a time.

Ai Lu was stunned.

She was too young to understand death. The person in front of her, Lila, was about to die, and she was about to take her life. All of this was completely beyond her comprehension at such a young age.

It's interesting because it's beyond my comprehension.

What exactly is this thing in front of her, and what is it planning to do? She wondered.

"What's up?"

Another wave of impact rushed towards Lela.

Unable to keep her balance, she was jolted and crashed into the wall.

Despite the blood staining the walls and floor, Lila still stood up.

Wow, that's amazing!

Although I don't quite understand how it works, this is really amazing.

When Ai Luke encountered something new, his interest was piqued, and his excitement gave Nianbo even greater power.

"....cough."

The other person spat out the blood that had gushed from his throat, and then said, "My name is Lila Aspley. I'm just a hero who came to kill you and then save the world."

"It seems like it's very hard."

Lila's body trembled as if struck by lightning. Even so...

"It's very hard work."

As blood trickled from her lips, she smiled proudly.

Ailu didn't understand what death, pain, and suffering were. However, looking at Lila's posture, she sensed that the other woman was standing there with an extraordinary determination.

Black Candle, Emerald Nail, and Red Lake were all too extraordinary; none of them taught Ai Lu Ke to recognize such a demeanor.

Why do you want to save the world?

She couldn't help but ask.

Leaning against the greatsword, Lila pondered for a while.

"Well, fine, I'll just be honest now."

She muttered these words without saying them aloud.

"Because I have someone I like."

The expression on Lera's face at that moment.

That smile—it was so gentle, so dazzling.

I really wish I could be like that person.

At this moment, the little star god suddenly had such a longing in his heart.

Then came the [Death Sword] piercing his chest and the ethereal darkness that seemed to swirl around him.

Enveloped everything.

.......

All of this before my eyes was like a reborn fantasy, dissipating with the passing of the weapons.

The petite red-haired girl yawned lightly, looking at the long, red, soul-like fish floating beside her, and the two men standing to her side.

He said lazily, "This is the scene of the Star God Lu Ike, which is also the scene of my death."

"Yo~~~! Lu Aike!" One of the two men standing next to the little girl raised his hand in a flippant manner and greeted her: "I am Niels, the eighteenth generation of regular hero, the founder of the True World Fantasy Choir, and also a star god from another planet."

The other man nodded slightly: "Hello, Miss Lu Aike, I am Zhong Li."

The petite red-haired girl rubbed her eyes and frowned.

She didn't speak, but the long, red fish spirit beside her asked, "Why did you intrude here?"

“To find you, Star God Lu Aike.” Zhong Li made no excuses: “The leader of the floating islands wants to revive this world and restart human civilization, and he requests my help.”

"I don't have much of an opinion on this. Whether I help or not, it doesn't make much difference to me. It's just a small favor."

At this point, Zhongli paused noticeably: "But for me, the most important thing is the journey to find the path."

"So, I've come here now, hoping to find out some of your inner thoughts."

"Huh?? What do you mean?" Star God Lu Ike was a little confused: "Is there any necessary connection between your path and my thoughts?"

“Of course not.” Zhongli laughed. “I just wanted to determine whether this world is worth saving by answering the question.”

"Hmm... what do you want to ask?" Lu Aike didn't seem very interested in Zhong Li's words.

“Your view of this world, and your wishes,” Zhongli said.

The Star God shook his head and whispered, "My wish... my wish..."

Then he silently shook his head again, but stopped talking.

After listening for a while, she continued, "Let me first share my perspective on this world."

"That's why the human world used to be so interesting, while the world now full of beasts is so boring."

The girl complained, "Although I'm quite satisfied with this fantasy world, I'm still a little envious."

"What??" Zhongli continued to ask softly.

"I want to try it out..."

"Try it out..."

Lu Aike fidgeted and rubbed the hem of her skirt.

"The kind of behavior that a person who has love dedicates themselves to the one they love, protects the one they love, and gives everything for the one they love."

"I want to try it!"

"I want to give it a try."

And so, the petite little star goddess girl began to sing lightly in front of the two star goddesses she had just met.

The happiness and joy in her demeanor were genuine.

She wants love!

This is absolutely true.

Chapter Thirty-Two: [Curse] and [Blessing]

"Don't you want revenge?"

Zhongli was not too surprised by the red-haired girl's answer. He had already discovered that, apart from sorrow and helplessness, all intelligent races in this world possessed a pragmatic and forward-looking resilience.

Even when facing the danger of extinction, the Golden Fairy still smiles.

Even if killed by humans, the Star God still admires human emotions.

"Revenge?" The petite red-haired girl tilted her head slightly and repeated in a daze, "What is revenge?"

The little girl didn't quite understand this complicated principle.

“Taste the blood of those who killed you, destroy the corpses of those who wanted to destroy you, and annihilate this civilization that is not worthy of saving the world.” Zhongli spoke calmly, yet uttered cruel words in a soft voice: “So exhilarating, so satisfying, so delightful.”

His conversation with the little star goddess girl was not a simple text, but a compressed soul message containing complex information, including the pain of death, the pleasure of revenge, and various related explanations and mental states.

This is a technique that only people with extremely powerful souls like them can use.

Star Goddess Lu Aike paused for a second, then responded with great interest: "What kind of technique is this? It's amazing! It explained the situation and feelings so clearly in one go."

"Um..."

Seeing that Lu Aike was completely unconcerned about the message she was conveying, Zhong Li nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips: "This world is one of the few truly regrettable and worth saving among the many apocalyptic worlds I have experienced."

"Perhaps it's because the creator of this world had such a pure heart."

After saying this, Zhongli gently pointed at the girl, Lu Aike.

A pale golden light appeared on the girl's body.

The girl looked at the shimmering light emanating from her body and noticed something unusual with some surprise.

A warm feeling spread through his body, and the pain from the [Holy Sword of Death] that had pierced his chest gradually subsided.

She could feel that her dead body was reconnecting with her current consciousness and soul, and was regaining its vitality.

“I will give you the opportunity to pursue this wish.” Zhongli smiled faintly at the pure-hearted star god before him: “However, you will need to work for me for a period of time.”

"What??" Lu Aike looked over with some confusion: "Work, what is that? Is it like what everyone was doing in the illusion of the [First Moon-Sighing Beast]?"
