Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

"I want to ask, didn't you say before that you wouldn't take the gods to your world? Then does your promise to take me still count?"

"Of course it counts. I'm not lying. What I said before about not allowing the gods to go to my world is true. You can't go either, because if the gods go there, they're basically dead. But they can still go to other worlds. But even if it's other worlds, I have no interest in taking them there. After all, I have no relationship with the gods, so why should I help them? Besides, there are good and bad gods, and I have friends in other worlds. I can't bring them big trouble."

Li Xuan was not wrong. The current box garden was like hell to these gods with isotopes. Basically, everyone who went there would die, and all of them would be assimilated by the stronger isotopes in the box garden.

"As for you, Hestia, it's different. We can be considered friends now, and I trust your character."

"Ah, thank you for the compliment."

Faced with Li Xuan's sudden praise, Hestia was a little overwhelmed. Recently, she had been denied by her best friend Hephaestus, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while.

"Then what other world can I go to?"

"Hestia, you like food and light novels, right?"

"Yes, since I came to the Netherworld, my favorite things are light novels and all kinds of delicious food."

"Then I have a good friend's world that you'll definitely like. There are countless delicious foods and light novels there, and all you have to do is give him some protection. It's an equal exchange."

For a homebody like Hestia, the most suitable society for her is obviously the modern society. Moreover, for her who lives in the medieval fantasy world, all kinds of things in the modern society are also novel enough. And in the modern society, the most suitable world for Hestia is still the world of Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma. As the eldest lady, Erina Chikiri has enough manpower and resources to let Hestia lie down and do nothing, and Hestia doesn't have to eat for free.

After all, Hestia is the goddess of home and hearth, and the Olympian goddess of fire. Her blessing is still very useful for chefs.

Then Li Xuan strolled outside with Hestia while introducing her to the various features of the world of Food Wars! Hestia's eyes lit up and she was extremely excited. This was simply the new world she had always dreamed of. She didn't even notice that Li Xuan was getting closer and closer to her and had already held her hand. Perhaps she did notice it, but Hestia acquiesced. After all, she had lived for hundreds of millions of years. No matter how naive Hestia was, she knew what Li Xuan meant.

However, unlike the chaotic relationships among the gods in heaven, Li Xuan at least gave her a good impression, so she did not refuse.

On the other side, Loki finally satisfied the curiosity of the gods and sent them away with a large number of entertainment items obtained from another world. These were not given by Li Xuan, but obtained by Ai Si from other people.

In fact, Li Xuan had thought of this when he was about to kill Apollo. He and Loki played the good cop and the bad cop, using a stick in one hand and a carrot in the other to manipulate the gods into submission. It's not that the gods didn't see through Li Xuan and Loki's tricks, but when they were inferior to others, others were willing to give them room for choice, which was a kind of mercy. Could they still be so shameless? At that time, Li Xuan's stick fell, and no one could save them.

In the final analysis, why is this strategy of using a stick and a carrot almost impossible to break? It is because when the enemy uses this strategy, you are often already at a disadvantage that cannot be turned around. As long as you don't want to face the stick and don't want to die, then the only path you can choose is to accept the kindness of the strong.

Such big news: the black dragon was defeated, the strongest heroic couple from a thousand years ago was resurrected, and there was also the powerful visitor from another world, Li Xuan. These three explosive news, only one of them could shock the entire labyrinth city of Orario, let alone all three at the same time.

These gods had no regard for secrecy and instead promoted the news extensively. Naturally, the news spread throughout Orario almost instantly, sparking heated discussion among all residents and adventurers.

Chapter 244: Stunned Lurion

"I, I don't know what to say. Another different world, a world more powerful than the heavens, oh my god."

"Why aren't you all concerned about the Black Dragon being defeated? And the resurrected heroic couple and their daughter turned out to be that Sword Princess Ais. Isn't this news shocking? Why aren't many people paying attention?"

"Isn't this perfectly normal? Any one of the two or three things you mentioned would have caused immense astonishment in the past. But today, there's so much shocking information. Not to mention the existence of another world, even the news of the god Apollo being murdered is even more shocking."

"Indeed, that coward Apollo is finally dead. He and his clan have always bullied men and women in Orario. No, if Apollo takes a fancy to a man or woman, he will try to snatch them back. This time, he finally hit a wall and is dead."

"You are too bold. Although Apollo is dead, he is still a god after all."

"What should I be afraid of? Apollo and I have a great hatred for each other. Why would I be afraid of a dead man like him?"

………………

In fact, for everyone in the labyrinth city of Orario, the most important point is not the defeat of the black dragon, nor the resurrection of the heroic couple, nor the existence of the other world. For people in the lower world, the most important thing is Apollo's death.

How much does the subjugation of the black dragon have to do with ordinary people? Even most adventurers have never thought about it. Only the families of adventurers who have 1v5 will occasionally mention the existence of the black dragon. As for really wanting to subjugate the black dragon, that is a goal that only the Loki family and the Freya family, the two kings of the labyrinth city of Orario, are qualified to covet.

The same is true for the resurrection of the heroic couple. The resurrection is magical, and the heroic couple is very famous, but a thousand years have passed after all, and Ai Si's parents only exist in a few words in the heroic biography. Although many people have heard of them, they are just empty names. Their achievements have long been diluted and forgotten by time.

Not to mention the other world, which is too far away from them. They can only say that they are curious, but they haven't explored their own world yet, and they are still thinking about the other world. Not to mention that the world Li Xuan came from is even more powerful than the heaven. Is it something that ordinary people like them can explore?

For them, the most shocking thing was the fall of Apollo, the sun god. Although Apollo was a complete pervert and did nothing all day, he was also a god, a member of the high and mighty gods in heaven. It was said that he had lived for hundreds of millions of years and would never die no matter what. He could even return from the sun. But he died just like that and could never be resurrected. Although he died at the hands of Li Xuan, a stronger visitor from another world, the previous image of the god as omnipotent, eternal and great was still broken. It was the first time that the people in the lower world knew that gods could also be hurt and die, and were not so invincible.

After the golden bodies of the gods in the underworld were broken, the people of Orario City had a slightly different attitude towards the gods. At least in the past, even if a god returned to heaven, his enemies would not dare to insult Apollo like they do now, and the people around him would stop them instead of just giving them a few words of persuasion as they do now.

However, the gods do not make a living by their reputation, otherwise they would not have said these things. The foundation of the gods' foothold in the underworld is their own strength and the grace they bestow. The people of the underworld do not respect the gods so much, and may even find these gods in the underworld more interesting.

As one of the hostesses of the most famous tavern in the labyrinth city of Orario, Lulion had naturally heard the news. When she heard that the black dragon had been defeated, she felt emotional. After all, she was also a rising star like the Sword Princess of Loki's family. Naturally, she and her family members had imagined the scene of defeating the one-eyed black dragon in the future.

The Astralia Familia weren't weak at the time. Had they not fallen into a trap set by the Dark Faction and faced Jagnath, a figure comparable to the Lord of the Deep Floor, they would have been completely annihilated except for Lurion. The Astralia Familia, whose development, while not as strong as the Loki Familia, was not far behind, withdrew from the labyrinth city of Orario. Later, Lurion, despite even violating his own sense of justice, sought revenge against all those he could find, ultimately becoming a wanted criminal.

Asking for flowers

But even so, Liuliang still could not forget the scene of the other members of her family dying tragically in front of her. It had been five years, five years. No one knew how much pain Liuliang had felt in her heart during these five years. Even the revenge and bloodshed of the previous two years could not quell the regret and guilt in her heart.

Lurion often wondered why she had survived. Was it simply her talent? But she had failed her companions and disobeyed the goddess's teachings. She couldn't resist seeking revenge, and even the goddess left her, never to return to Orario.

Liuliang no longer knew what to do. Day after day, year after year, she felt like a walking corpse. Only when she went to the eighteenth floor of the dungeon every month to worship other companions could Liuliang feel a trace of warmth in her body.

So for her now, whether it is the subjugation of the black dragon or the existence of another world, she can only be surprised and sigh a few times, and she has no interest in it. Even if it is the death of Apollo, she will only cheer and celebrate for the death of such a scumbag god. In her opinion, a god like Apollo should have died long ago, and it is a blessing for him to be alive until now.

"Have you heard? That famous sword princess of Loki's family is actually the daughter of the strongest heroic couple from a thousand years ago. She even has immortal blood flowing in her veins. No wonder she has such outstanding potential. Like father, like son."

When Liu Liang heard this, he was also touched. He didn't expect that his opponent, who had fought him to no avail in the past, had such an extraordinary background. No wonder he was so powerful.

"Yes, Aisi is a child of destiny. She has outstanding potential and strength. She grew up in a large family. Now her only regret has been made up by the existence from another world, and the family is reunited. I never thought I would see such a situation. A hero from thousands of years ago can actually be resurrected. The power of the existence from another world is too terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Luliang's pupils shrank slightly, and he froze in place. He even dropped his order without noticing, but the noise it made on the ground didn't wake Luliang B from his daze.

Chapter 245: Excited Liu

Naturally, Liu Liang's unusual behavior could not be hidden from others. Mia, the manager of the Bountiful Hostess, rushed over and gave the customer who lost his meal a free meal and apologized. Facing the former leader of Freya's family, one of the two kings of the labyrinth city of Orario, the customer did not say anything. After all, he saved the money for a meal, so there was no need to pursue it too much.

“Manager, I…”

Luliang wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to start.

"Go ahead, Liu. I know that after hearing this news, there's no way you wouldn't give it a try. Go ahead. Even if you don't succeed, you're still welcome back. Don't leave yourself with any regrets."

As the former leader of Freya's Familia, Mia was well aware of Lurion's past; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken him in. Upon hearing the news of Ais's parents' resurrection, Mia knew Lurion wouldn't be satisfied unless she gave it a try. After all, the deaths of everyone in Astraea weighed heavily on Lurion, and it would be difficult for her to escape on her own.

Now, if Li Xuan could be asked to resurrect the other members of Astralia's family, then Lulion's guilt would be immediately eliminated.

However, Mia was not very optimistic about Lulion's business. As the former leader of Freya's clan, an adventurer who was closest to gods at the top of the labyrinth city of Orario, she had come into contact with many gods. Although there were some main gods who truly cared about and loved the clan, most of them were fun-loving people with different thoughts and twisted personalities.

She didn't know what Li Xuan's personality was like, but as a shop owner and friend, Mia could only wish Liu Liang success. Even if Liu Liang no longer worked for the hostess of Feng Yu, they would still be friends.

"Mama Mia, Mama Mia, what happened to Liu? Where is she going?"

Anya, the catgirl who is also a clerk, asked Mia. She had a very good relationship with Liu. She never thought that the usually serious Liu would have such a big problem today. You know, in the past, it was the lively and active catgirls, her and Chloe, who knocked over the plates. Liu had never had any problems.

"Didn't you once tell me that Liu seemed to have something on her mind? Today she is going to solve this problem."

"Really? That's great. I've been worried about Liu in the past, and now I'm glad she can handle it."

"But if Ryu had resolved her worries, she probably wouldn't have returned to work at the store."

After hearing this, the cat girl Anya thought about it for a while and then stopped hesitating.

"Then I also hope that Liu's wish will come true. Even if she no longer returns to work as the hostess of Fengyu, we can still be friends. She can also come to the restaurant to eat. Then let me entertain her."

"Okay, then I'll let you receive Liu."

Although no one else said anything, they all hoped in their hearts that Liu could get out of the shadow of the past and have a brand new future. This was the wish that good friends had for Liu.

Liu walked out of the rich hostess quickly and wanted to look for Li Xuan immediately, but she was stopped by a familiar voice.

"Ryu, don't walk so fast. I have something to tell you."

"Xi'er, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Although Liu was already impatient and wanted to find Li Xuan, Xier was her good friend in the store, so she decided to stop and listen to what Xier wanted to say.

"Ryu, I know you want to find that visitor from another world, Li Xuan, and ask him to help you revive the members of Astraea's family, but have you ever thought about why Li Xuan wants to help you? What would you do if he refuses?"

"If you go to him without any preparation and without knowing anything, he will probably reject you outright."

"this………………"

Liu fell silent. She hadn't considered what Xi'er had said. She had been so overwhelmed by the thought of resurrection that she had lost her mind and didn't think about anything else. Fortunately, Xi'er stopped her. Otherwise, Liu couldn't imagine how desperate and regretful she would be if her family members had the possibility of being resurrected but lost it because of her recklessness.

"But I don't have any channels to learn more. These days, all the news comes from the gods... and that person is from another world. No one knows when he'll leave. I simply don't have the time to slowly gather intelligence on him."

"And after all, what right do I have to ask them to revive my companions? It's just a small 1v4 situation. I'm afraid they won't even look at me."

After being awakened by Xi'er, Liu Liang realized the difficulty of this matter. Before, she had not considered, or perhaps she dared not consider this cruel reality. Why would Li Xuan take action, just relying on her, a mere adventurer? Even if she was hailed as a genius on par with Sword Princess Ais, after all, she had wasted so many years. And even if she hadn't wasted time, Liu didn't think she could exchange for such a great miracle, able to revive all of Astralia's family.

Looking at Liu who was already in despair and giving up, Xier was a little panicked. She came to help Liu achieve his wish, not to attack him.

As a member of Freya's family, Seele's status is very special. Because she envied Freya's charm, she got an extremely special magic from Freya. From then on, she could transform into Freya and exist as Freya's substitute. Through her, Freya could split into two places and do her own things without telling anyone in Orario.

Occasionally, she can experience the 1.2 life in the underworld through Seele's body. Of course, most of the time, it is Seele herself who controls her body. Freya does not often use Seele's body to do anything. Only when she wants to hide it from other gods will she occasionally use a substitute. Unless it is a particularly critical matter, Freya rarely uses it.

After all, Seele's existence can be said to be a hidden trump card of Freya's family. Sometimes, if it is unexpected, it may be able to establish victory in one fell swoop. Therefore, in order to prevent other gods from seeing the flaws, Freya must be extremely cautious in using the substitute.

To Xier, Liu was one of her few close friends, so she even went out of her way to help Liu obtain information about Li Xuan from Freya. This was enough to demonstrate Xier's specialness. After all, information about Li Xuan was extremely important to the gods.

Chapter 246 Liu's Request

"Liu, cheer up, there's still a chance. I have some information about Li Xuan that I can give you."

The information Seer obtained from Freya was incredibly detailed, mixed with Freya's own understanding of Li Xuan. Even if the goddess of beauty's power had no effect on Li Xuan, Freya's ability to grow her clan to its current size wasn't solely due to the goddess' power. Her intelligence also played an invaluable role.

It can be said that even without divine power, she is quite accurate in judging people. If other goddesses of beauty saw that Li Xuan was unmoved by them, they might think that Li Xuan was not interested in beauty, but Freya could see that Li Xuan was actually the same as a mortal and just liked pure women more.

So she deliberately left a suggestion for Seele. It was not that Freya wanted to help Liu so much. In fact, Liu's soul was indeed very shining, but for her, it was just a bright spot. What was more important was her good friend, the goddess of justice Astralia. It was Astralia who asked Freya to take in the seriously injured Liu. Otherwise, how could she save Liu?

Now that there is a chance to help Astralia who is still in autistic state, she, as a friend, should help.

"Really? That's great, thank you, Xi'er."

Liu didn't doubt Xier's words. Having worked for the Mistress of Plenty for three years, she naturally knew a little about her friend Xier's status within Freya's family. She seemed to be favored by the goddess Freya and was called her daughter. If it was Xier, she would likely be able to obtain the latest information from Freya.

Thinking of this, although Liu didn't say it, she was still ready to repay this friend who had put so much effort for her.

When Xier heard Liu's thanks, she smiled bitterly in her heart. Liu thanked her now because he could remain so calm even after listening to Li Xuan's information and the advice given by Goddess Freya.

"Liu, listen to me, the god Li Xuan from another world......"

"That's all the general information we have about him. Right now, he should be with the Hephaestus Familia."

"It seems difficult to talk to you. Is there really any hope?"

Liu was a little dejected. In her eyes, Li Xuan was probably a god who was kind on the outside but very arrogant on the inside. This kind of god was not easy to deal with, and things that were determined were generally impossible to change.

Seeing her friend's face full of discouragement and despair, Xier still gave Freya's advice. She didn't know whether doing so would be good or bad for Liu's future, but she felt that if she gave Liu hope and then made her despair, Liu would have no future.

"If you've truly made up your mind, Goddess Freya actually left me a piece of advice for you. Would you like to listen to it?"

"What suggestions do you have? Tell me what you want me to do. I'll do anything, even if it means sacrificing my life to bring them back to life."

"Hey, I'm afraid of you. What's the point of others wanting your life?"

Seeing that Liu had said so much, Xier knew that she had to give Liu hope.

"The goddess's advice is that if you want to save your companions at all costs, you can give yourself to her."

"But I'm just a small 1v4. Even if I'm willing to change my sect, how can others appreciate it?"

Liu didn't understand the meaning of Xier's words for a while, and thought that Xier was persuading her to join Li Xuan's clan, but she was not worth the price.

"Hey! How did I end up with a friend like you? I'll be frank. Goddess Freya told me that if you're willing to pay any price, you should go find a god from another world, dedicate yourself to her, and become her woman. The goddess said that if you do that, the chances are at least 60%."

"But Xi'er, didn't you say before that Li Xuan was not kind to Goddess Freya? If even Goddess Freya can't do that, let alone a little elf like me."

Although Liu Liang had also thought of this method, since he was not afraid of death, what else could he be afraid of? However, although her appearance was not inferior to that of a goddess, she could not compare with the charm of Freya, the goddess of beauty. Li Xuan's attitude towards Freya was very cold, let alone her. How could he be 60% sure?

"Although I also want to complain about that guy for not understanding the charm of Goddess Freya, according to the Goddess's observation, he is not a man who is not interested in women. He is very kind to Goddess Hestia and has a good relationship with Sword Princess. In short, he just likes pure women like you who are as pure as a little white flower."

Xi'er had no good feelings towards Li Xuan, who didn't appreciate the charm of the goddess Freya and was confined to mortal thinking. But this was obviously good news for Liu. As pure as she was, Li Xuan should be very satisfied.

………………

"What do you want from me?"

Although he was surprised that Liu, a person he had never met before, came to see him, Li Xuan still followed him out. After all, he still had a good impression of Liu.

The results came out a long time ago, but Liu's face turned red and she didn't say a word. Before meeting Li Xuan, she had rehearsed in her mind what she should do.

But when she saw Li Xuan, her mind went blank and she couldn't say anything. I remember her ears turned red.

It's over. Everything is over with this kind of performance. The other party will definitely get angry and leave. Thinking of this, Liu couldn't help but shed tears of regret.

But at this moment, a warm hand covered her face and wiped away the tears from her eyes. Liu looked up and found that Li Xuan had already come to her without her knowing.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Now that I'm out, I still have some patience. Don't be impatient. Talk slowly. I won't leave. Is there anything you need from me?"

If Liu knew Li Xuan better, she would know that since she was able to see Li Xuan, Li Xuan still had a good impression and patience towards her. Otherwise, even if other people wanted to see Li Xuan, they would only be rejected by Li Xuan's power. No entry for outsiders, and the place is only open to specific people, and Liu is one of them.

Seeing Li Xuan being so gentle, Liu slowly calmed down. Looking at Li Xuan's face so close to her, her face couldn't help but blush. She quickly stepped back a few steps and then bowed deeply.

"Hello, I am Lulion, a member of the Astralia Familia. I am here to ask you to resurrect the other members of the Astralia Familia who died five years ago. Please, I will do whatever you want me to do."
