I let the genie out of the bottle

"The game is over, I won."
Behind her, Lu Ye, dressed in thick winter clothes, looked at her with a faint smile and calm gaze.
"Well--"
Transformed into a young girl, the two extraordinary dragons in the world, who possessed the title of Infinite Dragon God, silently watched Lu Ye, speechless for a moment.
The rules he set only allowed him a chance to win, and now he's directly standing before her, declaring his victory...
Even the Infinite Dragon God, whose personality was extremely aloof, was probably wondering what kind of feelings the person in front of him was in order to speak so frankly.
She kept her slightly purple eyes open, without saying a word.
Unfortunately, the dragon, which possesses the name "infinite," ultimately failed to be influenced by the atmosphere of the mortal world.
Otherwise, the word "bitch" might slip out the moment she opens her mouth.
As previously agreed, Lu Ye would advance at a speed slower than that of the Infinite Dragon God during this chase.
He had previously thought that since the Infinite Dragon was new to the area, she probably hadn't noticed that the ground beneath her feet was round. He figured he could just walk around the Earth in the opposite direction to meet her—after all, not everyone is like the Moon Worship Cult Leader, who doesn't understand love and only understands science.
However, he was getting a little lazy at this point. After all, he didn't know how long this adorable dragon would stay in one place.
Therefore, he directly used his ability to "omit the process" and skipped the process of getting there - if there is no process, then speed is naturally out of the question.
The other party did not violate any rules. Although the cute dragon did not know exactly how Lu Ye got here, it was clear about this point.
"Ah—" she began, as if she wanted to say something.
Perhaps it's a complaint about a game whose rules are fundamentally unfair.
However, the next moment, a dozen meters behind Lu Ye, a silvery-white icicle was blown by the wind and quietly fell from the tree onto the snow.
So, the dragon, which had transformed into a girl, was immediately drawn to the ice pillar that was slightly sunken into the snow.
The so-called Infinite Dragon God Orpheus is probably like this—no, at this moment, this dragon may not even have the name Orpheus.
Or rather, the two dragon gods, whether Orpheus or Great Red, are merely titles bestowed upon them by the earthly gods on their own accord.
Thinking this, Lu Ye raised his hand and gently patted her shoulder. In an instant, the ice and snow still clinging to the girl melted away as if they had encountered a blazing ember.
Throughout this process, her gaze remained fixed on the ice crystals not far away, unmoving.
So, Lu Ye moved his hand slightly and gently squeezed.
Although the weight seems a bit insufficient, the texture is delicate and smooth, making it truly excellent.
Sensing Lu Ye's movement, her gaze flickered slightly, landing on Lu Ye's face. Her eyes, blinking slightly, seemed to carry a hint of confusion, with a subtle questioning tone: "What are you doing?"
"It's nothing." Lu Ye withdrew his hand, a slight sigh in his heart.
It's fortunate that she is a high-level being, a super strong person, and she carries an aura of pressure that can refresh those with ill intentions.
Furthermore, both the humans and gods in this world possess a relatively high level of moral integrity. Otherwise, if reproductive isolation weren't considered, they'd probably have a huge number of children by now, right?
Looking at the innocent face of the girl in front of him, Lu Ye thought to himself.
Chapter Seventy: Give the Cute Dragon a Push
Although, in Lu Ye's opinion, this Infinite Dragon God's combat strength seemed rather embarrassing.
While I was in the dimensional rift, I only casually threw something, but it seemed to have severely injured that red dragon. At the time, the red dragon looked like it could be easily defeated with a little more effort from a reasonably skilled player.
Despite this, she still lost and was shamefully kicked out of her own territory, now pitifully wandering around outside her home every day.
Thinking about it again, following the original trajectory of the world, her disgraceful record...
Ah, the Infinite Dragon God is second only to the Great Red, a super strong being that even the gods fear (reading aloud).
"Ok?"
Noticing Lu Ye's gaze, the dragon loli blinked her obsidian-like eyes, a hint of confusion in them.
At the same time, there seemed to be a hint of displeasure. Although she didn't know exactly what was going on, she could roughly sense that it wasn't a good thing.
However, after thinking about what she had secretly observed in the dimensional rift, she silently shifted her gaze and continued to look at the distant scenery.
Well, I can’t beat him.
Although she has a reserved personality, she is still somewhat aware of her own limitations.
"Ophis, are you now seeking a way back to the dimensional rift?"
Looking at the girl-like Dragon God in front of him with a slightly smiling gaze, Lu Ye took the initiative to speak.
After all, expecting this extremely laid-back dragon to find topics of conversation on his own might take hundreds of years.
"Ophis?" The Dragon God, who wielded the power of "infinity," remained unmoved, not answering Lu Ye's question. He merely repeated those three words silently before continuing in a calm voice, "Are you addressing me?"
Her voice was melodious and pleasant, reminiscent of ripples spreading across a lake in a gentle breeze. However, the lack of emotional depth slightly detracted from its overall appeal.
"Yes, that's your name."
Lu Ye nodded slightly.
Although the Infinite Dragon God's reaction seemed somewhat evasive, Lu Ye knew that she was simply acting out of character, given his understanding of her.
“Ah, so that’s my name.” Orpheus nodded calmly.
It's just a title; she doesn't care about such things.
In fact, Lu Ye felt that even if he hadn't used "Orpheus" but rather a name like "Big Flower" or "Wangcai," her reaction wouldn't have been any different.
She accepted the name simply because, considering her interactions with people, it seemed necessary to have one.
Thinking this, she silently raised her head, her slightly vacant eyes gazing at the hazy, icy patterns on the dark brown tree trunks around her. Given her personality, staring at the most commonplace scene for hundreds of years wouldn't be unusual for her.
After all, she was just quietly daydreaming in the dimensional rift when she suddenly entered this mortal world. Her only purpose was to return to her hometown.
After staring blankly for more than half a minute, Orpheus seemed to remember something, shifted his gaze to Lu Ye, and slowly began to speak.
"I'm not looking for a way back to the dimensional rift."
If Lu Ye didn't possess an almost eternal lifespan and have no shortage of time, he probably wouldn't have the patience to communicate with her in this way.
She slightly opened her eyes and looked at Lu Ye, her tone suddenly tinged with frustration.
"Returning to the dimensional rift is actually quite simple. However, we'll soon be driven out by that wretched red dragon."
Ah, so that's how it is. Orpheus must have tried many times to break through.
However, each time, the result was that the Great Red would directly knock them back in.
After all, while the Great Red was injured, Orpheus seemed to have had a good time gloating and kicking a man when he was down. However, the Red Dragon, feeling like a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs, was not in such a good mood.
Now that he's recovered, he makes no attempt to hide his anger, letting it vent directly. One could even say that not going for the kill was already a great act of mercy.
"So what are you doing now?" Lu Ye asked, maintaining a relaxed attitude.
Orpheus hesitated for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. Several seconds later, her eyes finally flickered slightly.
"do not know."
Having lived in the dimensional gap for many years, she suddenly arrived in the real world, completely unaware of what she should do.
Having been banished from the dimensional rift for a thousand years, she merely wandered aimlessly, stopping and starting as she pleased.
And because people know her power, no one dares to offend her; all the gods who know her generally choose to avoid her.
After all, approaching someone with such extraordinary power, whether with good intentions or malice, is a rather risky endeavor.
Therefore, in all the time she has been in the mortal world, it seems that Lu Ye is the only one who has truly communicated with her.
"Do you want to go back to the dimensional rift?"
"think."
Compared to before, this time the response was much faster, and the tone was noticeably stronger.
"So how do you plan to get back?"
"do not know."
Orpheus answered calmly.
If she knew how to get back, she would have gone back long ago instead of drifting on the ground.
At this moment, she had absolutely no interest in either the gods roaming the earth or the nascent civilization of humankind.
“Hmm—” Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, then said in a somewhat uncertain tone, “If you ask me, then I might help you reclaim the dimensional rift and take back the silence there as payment for the games you played with me in the past—after all, even if it’s insignificant, the games we played together can be considered one of the pillars that helped me avoid the erosion of time.”
"A request?" Orpheus tilted his head in confusion. "How should we do it?"
"It's probably something like saying, 'Please, help me reclaim the dimensional rift.'"
"Please, please help me reclaim the dimensional rift."
Orpheus readily complied, his eyes brightening slightly, and immediately began to speak without missing a single word.
“Although it’s a request, I might not necessarily agree.” Lu Ye said, raising his hand to pat off his thick winter clothes, exhaling a breath that quickly turned into a cloud of white mist in the cold wind. “Whether or not I help you is irrelevant to me; it’s solely a matter of my personal feelings. I don’t have that thought right now, but perhaps in the next moment, or sometime in the future, I might make a different decision.”
"By the way, I'm going to take another look at the scenery on the ground now. Would you like to come along?"
Chapter 71 Lu Ye's Proposal: Let's Try Destroying the World?
In just a few steps, Lu Ye had already walked from the boundless snowfield to the lush and verdant forest.
As he stepped down, the thick winter clothes he was wearing, which covered half of his face, transformed into cool clothing befitting the approaching summer.
Beside Lu Ye, Orpheus, dressed in a black dress, stood expressionless, her purplish-black hair, which seemed to faintly shimmer, fluttering in the wind.
Unlike Lu Ye, who seemed to be enjoying the scenery around him, Orpheus's calm eyes were fixed on Lu Ye, as if afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
After all, while one might have harbored some curiosity about the scenery upon first arriving on Earth, that interest would have long since vanished after hundreds or thousands of years.
Therefore, it was indeed difficult for her to understand why Lu Ye, who had also walked on the ground for countless years, would show such interest in the surrounding scenery.
Seeing Lu Ye raise her hand, seemingly waiting for a drop of dew from a leaf above to fall onto her hand, the dragon, now in the form of a young girl, remained silent, but felt slightly puzzled.
She couldn't understand why Lu Ye, who spent just as much time wandering the ground as she did, would still maintain his interest in this world.
"Clap."
Glistening dewdrops slid off the emerald green leaves and landed on my palm.
Lu Ye took out a tissue, wiped his hands, and casually tossed it on the ground. He turned around and looked at the blank-faced girl behind him.
Although his expression remained unchanged, the subtle fluctuations in his power revealed his inner anxiety.
The person who could help her realize her long-cherished wish was right in front of her, but she didn't know how to get that person's help.
Even with her calm and unassuming personality, Orpheus found it difficult to maintain her usual composed demeanor.
Why do you want to answer the question about the dimensional gap?
After a long while, Lu Ye, who had finished his conversation with the girl in the bottle, finally remembered that there was someone behind him and turned around to ask in a daze.
"All I seek is silence."
With a hint of impatience in his tone and a resolute look in his eyes, Orpheus spoke immediately.
“In that case—” Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously touched the bottle he had been keeping in his arms.
To be honest, if Lu Ye had never met Mozlis and had not experienced such a long period of time, he would definitely have acted very differently when facing the Infinite Dragon God.
If he had come here as a mortal and encountered Orpheus, he would most likely have tried to deceive this adorable dragon so that he could use her power for his own purposes—no, he would have been so captivated by her exquisite appearance that he would have ulterior motives towards her.
Thinking about this, Lu Ye silently compared in his mind which approach was more shameful.
It's definitely the latter, isn't it?
"If you want to seek tranquility, you don't necessarily have to be in a dimensional rift, do you?" Putting aside his thoughts, Lu Ye said softly, raising his hand and pointing a finger in the air.
In that instant, Orpheus, who had always appeared calm and composed, trembled slightly on the shoulders, looking just like a cat whose fur had suddenly bristled in fright.
The next moment, silence descended.
The dense jungle, along with the rustling of leaves, the chirping of birds and insects, and the sunlight in the sky, all vanished.
This is nothingness, this is emptiness.
Therefore, it is also silence, absolute silence.
"See? Isn't this much better than trying to reclaim the dimensional rift?" Lu Ye said with a slightly sinister smile and a seductive tone, "This way, your tranquility will be regained, won't it? And you won't have to fight that red dragon for it."
