Tian tilted her little head, her pure, big eyes filled with innocent curiosity, and asked:
"So, Little White, didn't you dislike eating fish? Why did you bring a plate of grilled fish?"
Bai Mo was taken aback by her question, and a fleeting hint of unease crossed his face.
He instinctively avoided Tian's clear, almost piercing gaze, raised a hand to touch the back of his neck, and spoke with a hint of awkwardness that even he found clumsy:
"Ah...I want to...change the flavor."
Tian seemed completely oblivious to his embarrassment, or rather, she chose to believe this simple explanation.
She immediately clapped her hands happily, her smile becoming even brighter:
"That's good!" Tian breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had completed an important task.
"Tianning thought it was because she forced Xiaoxiaobai to make a choice in the Hall of the Three Phases of Destiny, which made Xiaoxiaobai unhappy, so she asked Tian to ask her."
Tian nodded her little head. "Then we can rest assured!"
However, Tian's pure gaze did not immediately look away.
She scrutinized Bai Mo closely, and a keen concern that transcended her outward appearance suddenly appeared in her large eyes, which seemed to reflect the ripples deep within his soul.
She leaned forward a little, softened her voice, and spoke with a childlike earnestness:
"But, little Bai, what are you anxious about?" Her gaze seemed to pierce through Bai Mo's feigned ease, reaching straight into his inner unease.
"Are you worried about the responsibility of being a savior?"
Bai Mo was surprised and embarrassed that her thoughts had been exposed.
He subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his head, and chuckled self-deprecatingly:
"Ah...cough cough, is it that obvious? Even Teacher Tian noticed it?"
Tian nodded vigorously, her little braids swaying as she did so.
“Everyone noticed!” Tian’s tone was certain, but then the expression on her small face softened and became full of wisdom.
"But, little white one, fate is not the result, but the process."
It's not a flower that grows at the end of the road, but rather—
"After crossing the gate, people walked along the path they had made themselves, heading towards the sea of flowers."
Tian's smile was warm and encouraging:
"Only tomorrow's self can solve tomorrow's problems."
Tian gently patted Bai Mo's arm with her small hand, "So... if there's anything you can't figure out, just leave it for tomorrow!"
“Leave it for tomorrow…” Bai Mo repeated the sentence in a low voice.
The heavy anxiety in his heart, which seemed to be crushing him, seemed to loosen and dissipate somewhat under Tian's pure words and warm gaze.
Yes, the current struggle seems unsolvable, perhaps it's just that the time isn't right yet? He doesn't need to shoulder the burden of the entire future today.
A relieved smile finally spread slowly across his face:
"Hmm... leave it for tomorrow." This time, Bai Mo's tone was less hesitant and more relaxed and accepting.
Seeing the smile on Bai Mo's face, Tian jumped up and down happily, as if she had accomplished something great.
She reached out her small hand and grabbed Bai Mo's sleeve, eagerly pointing towards the sunny, joyful side of the Hundred Realms Gate, her voice brimming with pure energy and irresistible enthusiasm:
"Now... Little White, let's go over there and join everyone for a gathering!"
Her small hand conveyed a warm power, as if to pull him from the lonely stone pillar back to the vibrant light and warmth that belonged to his companion.
Bai Mo had just crossed the Gate of a Hundred Realms.
A pork knuckle flew over from Bai E and Wan Di's table.
Bai Mo grabbed the food, ate it in a few bites, and said irritably, "Bai E, what are you doing? Throwing food around isn't a good habit!"
"Haha, Bai Mo! You've finally arrived! Wan Di said he can cook too, but I told him yours is better, and he wouldn't believe me. Next time you have the chance, you can have a cooking contest with him," Bai E laughed.
(Wan Di: Hmph, so they're the same type of Stand?)
"Compare? Don't think I don't understand you. We'll do our work and then you'll be the judge, right?" Bai Mo chuckled easily and teased.
"Hahaha! How can you say that? I was just trying not to waste food." Bai E blinked.
Not far away, Xia Die was elegantly sipping her flower tea, her gaze shifting between Wan Di, Bai E, and Bai Mo.
Her eyes, which seemed to "see through" everything, suddenly lit up with a strange light, and she almost dropped the teacup in her hand:
(?????) Wait a minute! There's another expert? This feels... Oh no! My outline for "The Day of Salvation Couldn't Fall in Love with the Moon of the Chef" is going to collapse! The original pairing dynamics are severely impacted!
Hiss—but it feels like…it's even more exciting now, what should I do?!
A love triangle? No, it's two people vying for my attention! Ahhh! Inspiration is overflowing! I really want to write... I want to write right now!
After the banquet.
“Ms. Aglaia, you wanted to see me?” Bai Mo walked to Aglaia’s side.
“Bai Mo, I apologize to you for interpreting the oracle,” Aglaia said calmly.
“Never mind, Ms. Aglaia. You don’t need to feel sorry; it was my own choice.” Bai Mo shook his head.
“But now that you’ve joined the Journey of Fire, there are some things I need to tell you,” Aglaia said, her tone slightly serious.
Bai Mo frowned, waiting for Aglaia to continue.
"You don't need to worry about the eight million profit coins from the master craftsman. I've already paid for it for you. Just find some time to go to the master craftsman and order what you want."
Bai Mo's brows relaxed.
"And your special ability... I will entrust Xi Lian with my memories of countless deceased heroes from over a thousand years, hoping it will be of help to you."
A look of anticipation appeared on Bai Mo's face.
"This also includes the inside story of the fall of the demigod of the earth, Arafusa; the demigod of the law, Crydra; and the demigod of the sea, Hathaway."
Bai Mo's body trembled, and his expression turned almost to one of reverence. "Go through fire and water! Godmother! Godmother above! Accept your child's bow!"
Aglaia, somewhat speechless, used the golden thread to hold Bai Mo back, fearing that he might actually do something outrageous.
"Godmother, since you've already paid eight million for me, could you please have the master craftsman make a few more for me..." Bai Mo said somewhat obsequiously.
"This isn't about money. The reason the master craftsman offered such a price is because your needs have almost emptied all of Ohmma's reserves of indigo."
That kind of ore has become extremely difficult to mine since the Titans of Strife went mad. Aglaia felt a tickle on her brow, almost wanting to pinch it.
“Ah… alright then, Ms. Aglaia. I will participate fully in the Fire Chasing Journey,” Bai Mo said, somewhat disappointed.
Chapter 66 Bai Mo: I lack nothing now!!!
Night fell as expected, and Bai Mo's figure, like a demon from a strange tale of rules, once again "entangled" Xi Lian.
"Sister Xilian~ Sister Xilian~" Bai Mo's expectant call had just left his mouth.
However, before he could finish speaking, Xi Lian seemed to have already figured out his intentions and let out a soft laugh that was a mixture of helplessness and doting.
She didn't even turn around, she just waved her hand.
"I knew that with Xiaobai Mo's impatient nature, she would come to find me tonight." Her voice carried a hint of weariness.
"I've already prepared everything for you! The demigod of earth—Wild Flute, and the demigod of law—Cerudela. Don't bother me tonight, Little White Mo?"
Bai Mo nimbly caught the two fragments of memory crystals, and a smile brighter than the sun instantly bloomed on his face:
"Sister Xilian really understands me best!" Bai Mo said as if he were holding a rare treasure.
His gaze grew even more fervent, filled with hope as he looked at Xi Lian, "But... is there anything else? What about the ocean demigod—Haiseyin? Is there anything else..." He probed, yearning for more.
Xi Lian couldn't help but let out a huge yawn, waving her hand weakly:
"What are you thinking? How could you possibly get everything done all at once? Ha—condensing these two has already taken a lot of my effort… Tomorrow, tomorrow I still have to go to Aglaia to receive the remaining memories…" Xi Lian rubbed her aching temples and explained:
"There are too many mysteries surrounding Cerydra, and the causal threads are as tangled as a ball of yarn that can't be untangled."
Xi Lian's gaze deepened. "But fortunately, the core conclusion in the history books is correct—she ultimately did indeed perish at the hands of that ocean demigod, Hazel. This is undeniable."
Her tone carried a hint of seriousness and confusion:
"But... regarding the ocean demigod Heather... her past is shrouded in an extremely strange and profound mist, with an absurdly strong interference."
Xi Lian shook her head helplessly, her voice filled with deep exhaustion. "Today... I really can't give it to you. Let me... rest for a while..."
"Thank you, Sister Xilian!" Although Bai Mo was itching to learn about Heather's abilities, having two fragments of a demigod crystal was already a huge gain.
He carefully held the two crystals and rushed back to the room like an arrow, quickly locking the door behind him.
Inside the room, Bai Mo sat cross-legged and randomly opened one of the windows.
Bai Mo: Let me see!
The cold, mechanical system notification sounded:
[An individual was detected whose vital signs have completely disappeared within the observation range.]
[Core protocol activated.]
[The individual's 'vital characteristics,' 'core competencies,' and fragments of their mental imprint have been collected.]
A new 'folder' has been created. Its capabilities can be accessed freely.
Please name this folder ______.
But what struck the heart even before the prompt was a deep, compassionate whisper from the soul, seemingly resonating with the pulse of the earth:
"Want to know the purpose of my trip? My hometown, surrounded by mountains..."
The cliff face is etched with naive yet hopeful flowers, and gentle earth beasts bend down to rest, listening to the carefree laughter of children as they drift off to sleep.
These colossal beast companions from all over Onpharos...
We once huddled and wept in the depths of cold ruins, battered by the relentless, chilling rain, until... we were discovered by the kind and simple mountain people who offered us warm shelter.
But now, the earth has collapsed, we have lost our protective gods, lost our homeland... we have lost everything.
But I, Huangdi, still wish to clasp my hands together and offer my most sincere prayer to the earth, Titan Georia—may the flame of life reignite and flourish on this ravaged land.
Because…nurturing life, protecting all life in this world…is the ridge of rock imprinted in our blood, the final duty left to the world…and also the final path I can walk…”
That spirit of sacrifice and determination slowly dissipated, leaving behind a desolate weight.
Bai Mo felt a deep sense of awe and was immersed in the tragic wish of this demigod.
So that's how it is... He took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart.
The demigod of the earth, Huangdi, did not perish in defeat, but chose to sacrifice himself, using his own body to repair the shattered earth and exchange a glimmer of hope for countless lives!
However, this solemnity and respect did not last long.
The moment the system notified me that the folder creation was complete!
An unprecedented and boundless torrent of power, like the earth's veins that had been dormant for billions of years suddenly awakening, surged wildly into Bai Mo's limbs and bones!
His bones crackled and popped like popping beans, and his muscle fibers bulged, reorganized, and strengthened as if injected with lava!
Golden veins of rock seemed to flash beneath his skin! His blood surged like a river, and his heart pounded like a war drum! An indescribable, boundless power filled every cell of his body!
This power?! Bai Mo suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze flashing with a sharp light!
He instinctively clenched his fist, the air squeaking as he squeezed it... Hmm, maybe it's best not to squeeze it out? Sister Xilian was still sleeping next door. But the hard ground beneath his feet continued to silently spread spiderweb-like cracks!
As the oldest living earth beast, the demigod of the earth, Huangdi, he truly lives up to his reputation!
A storm raged within Bai Mo's heart. His physical abilities had suddenly surged to a terrifying level he never dared to dream of before! He could even control the earth to a certain extent! And even manipulate gravity!
Bai E? Wan Di? Can they shatter mountains with a stomp of their feet? A sense of dominance over the world welled up within me.
Hmm... if they can advance to demigod status in the future, perhaps they can, or even become stronger. But... what does that have to do with me now?!
Bai Mo: I have everything I need now!
Stat monster!
What a mechanic!
Fusion upgrade!
An overpowered monster!!!
