Why can't humans do it too?

He had already given enough, and no one could ask him for more... This thought repeated in his mind, and Su Er felt a surge of anger rising within him, which he then suppressed.

A wonderful life.

Stopping thinking about those worries, Su Er suddenly remembered what Xin Ke had mentioned about the expanded space. He looked curiously at the door of the wooden house he had built himself. Through the half-open door, he seemed to see some... white walls?

"What's that?" Su'er asked curiously, pointing to the wooden house, the starlight-filled objects floating in the sky, and the refrigerator by the door. She really wanted to know. "Can we go inside and take a look?"

"Ah~ of course~", Xin Ke smiled again, turned slightly to the side and raised her hand to invite, "In fact, Mr. Monkey will definitely like it... There are many areas where your knowledge is needed."

"Knowledge?"

Following Xinke toward the cabin, Suer asked in return, and the pink-haired winged creature also flew up from the lake and was now floating beside the two of them—right, its name.

Suer then realized that he still didn't know the name of this Skywing creature, and calling it "Miss Monster" along with Xinke was a bit of a death wish... and not very polite either!

What exactly the agreement Tianyi and Xinke reached while he was unconscious can be asked Xinke privately later, but before things get ugly, it's best to maintain the most friendly attitude.

"Although you may already know, let me introduce myself anyway." With that thought, Suer suddenly stopped and turned around, extending her right hand to the pink-haired Skywing. "Suer, that's my name."

Calmly gazing into the eyes of the Skywing, he saw scrutiny in those amber pupils. His outstretched right hand hovered in mid-air, reaching for the culprit who had forced him to shorten his lifespan yet showed no remorse...

"...Is this human etiquette?" After a slight silence, Jibril crossed her arms and asked in return.

The Skywing race's power has recovered considerably. If the previous battle were to happen again, both Suer and Xinke know that they would surely die.

However, that little hand mimicked Suer's gesture and came up.

“Jibril,” the pink-haired winged being said with a smile, “until your knowledge satisfies me, I’ll leave my head on your neck for now.”

“…Ah, there won’t be that chance.” After shaking her clenched hand up and down, she loosened it. Suer saw Xin Ke nod at her, and the group continued walking towards the cabin.

I guess you could say we won.

Suer had already seen a burgeoning curiosity in this winged creature, no, in Jibril, and a willingness to act on that curiosity—and that was enough.

His blood was not shed in vain.

So what exactly did Xin Ke say to make this Skywing species give up the idea of ​​directly searching his brain? Did she tell her what Okan had said?

Lost in thought, Suer walked into his little wooden house—as if he had entered another world.

Is this really his cabin?!

For a moment, Suer was stunned and lost in thought as he looked at everything in front of him.

What was originally just a pit dug with a short sword has now turned into a room that is all too familiar to Suer.

The house has three bedrooms and one living room. As soon as you enter, you can see the coffee table and TV in the living room, as well as the white-painted dining table with willow leaf patterns. Xin Ke, Okan, and I used to sit there together, drinking spirit oil and talking about everything in the other world. Even the sunlight shining in from the window now is no different from that time. The slanting sunlight divides the dining table in two.

It was his home, yet it wasn't his home... It was the home that Xin Ke had seen before.

It wasn't the world created by the forging god Okan, a world caught between reality and illusion, but a room that actually appeared in the real world. The only difference was probably the door behind the dining table. The off-white door that was sealed off in Okan's place was now wide open, and Sull could see that there were quite a few very strange things inside.

The facilities, clearly in the style of the forest elves, contrasted sharply with the tables and items outside, which were mostly in the style of another world. It was obvious that Xin Ke had been hiding in this room while Su Er was still asleep.

"This, this is..." To be honest, when Suer actually saw this familiar home in reality, he couldn't help but get excited. He took a few steps to the coffee table in the living room and picked up the kettle—it was glass and made a crisp sound when tapped, so it wasn't an illusion.

Will it break if dropped on the ground?

I was tempted to throw this thing on the ground and hear the sound, but I was too afraid of dying, so I decided against it.

It's somewhat wasteful to waste one's life here.

"These must be the proof you used to convince Jibril, right?" Sue asked Xin Ke excitedly, holding up the water bottle she had used for several years. "You've really gone to a lot of trouble."

He had already imagined a whole string of things, such as how much effort she had put into creating these things that were not much different from the glass material in her previous life to convince the Skywings, especially since she had to suppress her hatred for the Skywings while he was still asleep and Xin Ke was powerless to kill them.

How powerful... Just thinking that this woman would suppress her pride, contempt, and hatred to negotiate with the monster she despises, especially given her twisted personality, almost moved Suer to tears—the only thing that puzzled her was why Xin Ke's expression was so strange at the moment.

It wasn't a feeling of disgust, joy, or sadness; his two beautiful eyebrows were furrowed tightly.

I don't really understand.

"Ah~, probably about right?" Xin Ke said in a slightly bored voice, picking up a small decorative item from the corridor and playing with it.

"Roar~, did you hear my name?" Jibril folded her wings and flew into the room. Even though she had heard everything being said in the room, she asked with a grin.

"Ah! I can help with that too!" Before the two people inside could answer, Jibril's eyes lit up when she saw the water bottle that Sue was holding, and she floated to his side in the blink of an eye.

"Including these materials?" he asked rhetorically, tapping the television set on the TV cabinet and tugging hard at the curtains by the wall—without exception, the feel and texture of these materials matched his memory perfectly.

So all these things in the room were made by the combined efforts of Xin Ke and Jibril?

Suer suddenly felt immense respect for what he held in his hands.

Chapter 156 Time Flies

The item, created by the combined efforts of the Skywing race, the Forest Elf race, and humans, is probably as valuable as Athena's Exclamation, which requires three Gold Saints to unleash, or perhaps even more.

"Pretty much. I'll weave the spell, and then the Skywing species will infuse it into the spirit. This way, we can even change the properties of matter," Xin Ke nodded and replied. "I must say, Miss Monster is quite convenient to use as an energy source. Please keep up the good work!"

"Ah~, after all, this is all the weeds can do to comfort themselves. If you're willing to hand over your memories, you can go and stay in the soil over there now, okay? I'll take care of the rest~"

I'm deaf, I can't hear anything.

Silently repeating this sentence to herself, ignoring what seemed to be their usual bickering, Su Er pressed the power button on the TV—as expected, there was no response.

Thinking about it carefully, it's not surprising. Although it's unclear what the semi-transparent refrigerator outside the door relies on to operate, it's obviously not electricity. And naturally, there wouldn't be any TV stations producing TV programs here. Xin Ke and Jibril's craftsmanship is outrageous; they even managed to reproduce the LCD screen quite realistically.

It looked exactly like his old home, but the urge to explore, knowing that the things in the house were made of things he didn't know or even couldn't understand, was so irresistible to Su Er. To be honest, if the glass on the coffee table suddenly grew legs and ran away, he wouldn't be surprised at all... probably not.

Then he walked to the edge of the window. Just like the environment that Okan had created in that small world, Sue could see the towering buildings outside through the window, as well as the sun sandwiched between the buildings. The sunlight refracted on the countless pieces of glass, and the light was all reasonable, without the slightest error.

The sounds of car horns and noise from downstairs filled the air with the atmosphere of modern city life—but Su Er knew it was all an illusion.

You can see the real world simply by opening the window. There is no reinforced concrete outside the window, only a wide lake and the aroma of herbs lingering in the air.

Then Suer opened the window.

Half of the glass still shows that familiar world, while the other side shows the view outside. Beautiful flowers bloom and wither in the lake, and shimmering light keeps drifting out. Thin white mist gathers above the lake.

"...Mr. Monkey?"

Suer heard Xinke calling him.

"In short, you'll need to provide detailed descriptions of many things going forward; it's expected to be a huge undertaking!"

"Ah, I will try my best, please don't worry."

After taking one last look out the window, Suer calmly replied, "Was it just my imagination?"

Just now, I think there was a bright green flash across the highest dome?

Upon closer inspection, however, nothing was found.

Shaking his head to stop overthinking, Suer pulled the window back shut. Although the work ahead sounded like it would be very demanding, he decided to start with the basics for now.

— Put on your clothes.

--------------

Suer wanted to use the phrase "time flies" to describe his life during this period. At first, he remembered to carve a mark on a stone slab every day, but as time went by, he unconsciously forgot about it and only symbolically carved a few marks on the stone slab when he occasionally remembered it.

He was so happy, wonderful, and joyful that he almost forgot about time. If he used to count the days every day to record his existence during difficult times, with each entry signifying that he had survived another day, then this perfect life had made Su Er too lazy to do those things.

But even with such sporadic records, when Su Er suddenly became interested in counting them one day, he was surprised to find that there were already more than 300 marks on them. If you include the ones he was too lazy to carve, and roughly estimate, it has been almost two years.

Upon discovering this shocking fact, Suer was slightly surprised, but upon closer reflection, it didn't seem so surprising after all.

These past two years have been the most wonderful days he has experienced since he transmigrated to this world. He has no shortage of food, and the food he eats can even be described as quite exquisite; he has no need to worry about the danger to his life, and he can sleep peacefully in the deepest part of the cave; he also does not have to endure the gloomy and damp emptiness of the dark cave, as the warm sunlight can shine on his body whenever he wants.

Even the 'work' that kept him so busy that he forgot to eat made him happy. When he saw the complete restoration of his past creations, Suer felt extremely satisfied, not only because they were things he had created with Shinco and Jibril, but also because of a sense of identity.

The agreement made with Xinke during the crisis was also well carried out. According to what Xinke told Suer, she sent the forest elves to put a lot of food and warm supplies into a destroyed forest elf ruin. Then she secretly guided the humans who went on expeditions to find the supplies. This way, the humans would only think that they were lucky and would not think that they had been discovered by other races.

Anyway, there were many such relics during the war, so it didn't seem out of place. Sull thought that Riku probably wouldn't leave those supplies behind out of caution—and this proved to be true.

Without having to worry about food for the ever-growing population in the settlement, Riku and Cole must be much more relaxed now, right?

Thinking of this, Suer couldn't help but smile.

Oh, right, speaking of which, I have to mention the Forest Elves.

After Xinke broke free from the elven lock, she easily restored her connection with the forest elf city—or perhaps that's not quite accurate, as this pale golden-haired forest elf had disappeared for a long time, only to suddenly reappear one morning at the cabin door after Suer accepted that she probably wouldn't return to the abandoned city.

At that time, Suer had just finished breakfast and was about to go to the door to take a bath.

To Suer's astonishment, the forest elf took his various research equipment into the room and has remained secluded in the cabin ever since, until today.

【Playing Hua Guanqing is such a waste of time and so boring, so I'll just pretend to be dead~】

This was the sentence that left the deepest impression on Suer at the time.

Chapter 157 Shattered Image

This woman completely disregarded everything about the forest elves, firing her boss, the forest god Kenus, without the slightest hesitation—wait, he wasn't just a boss! He was the creator of the forest elves!

However, this woman actually did it.

Respect and awe are nonexistent.

This woman even secretly undermined the Forest God Kenas, supporting her own agents. While using these agents to control the entire Forest Elf race's deployment and actions, she also secretly smuggled the Forest Elf race's resources into the city as materials for her future research.

Suer realized that this woman truly loved only magic and her own power. Following the goblin race's absurd use of inactive divine essence for research, Xin Ke was also developing power that could rival it.

By the way, the current progress is 0.

As expected, it would be an insult to the divine race to describe anything involving the divine race as difficult. More than two years have passed and not even a ripple has been made.

During what was a long two years for humans, it wasn't just Su's tense mind that relaxed, but also... his wariness and vigilance towards the forest elves.

Well, to be honest, this one disappeared the fastest.

There's no way around it; when Xin Ke starts destroying her image, it's like setting a fire on a pile of firewood doused in gasoline—it's utterly devastating.

How can someone be so lazy?!

The people of Suer were dumbfounded.

She hadn't showered for a full six months! To be honest, if Suer hadn't forcibly barged into Xinke's lab and dragged her to take a shower, he even suspected that this forest elf might never have showered in her entire life!

At first, he thought that the forest elf was taking a bath in his laboratory, which was why it wasn't coming out. However, this pathetic fantasy was shattered when he smelled that smell while delivering food to the forest elf one day... His brain was trembling!

"Hmm? Mr. Monkey's hand is unsteady? Did you think of something?"
