Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

"Huh? What's going on? Why isn't the void reacting at all today?"

Jiang Bai thought the Void Terminal was broken, so he took it off, tapped it, and put it back on.

What's today's date?

The void remained silent.

"What's going on? Is there a bug? That shouldn't be happening."

After washing up, Jiang Bai pushed open the door and went out, intending to find a scholar to ask what was going on.

However, the underground laboratory today is also unusually abnormal.

The first thing Jiang Bai noticed was the quiet.

It seemed that apart from him, there was no other sound in the entire underground space.

He also discovered that many passageways were closed and impassable, and these passageways all connected to important laboratories.

This is so unusual, it's as if something has happened.

Jiang Bai frowned as he headed to the largest laboratory, intending to check on the scattered soldiers.

However, all the passages leading there were sealed off and could not be opened without the use of force.

Everything was normal before he went to bed yesterday, and he had not received any notification.

How did I suddenly become like this after waking up?

Jiang Bai really couldn't understand what had happened.

Or is the Order of the Church conducting some kind of special experiment, which is why it turned out this way?

Jiang Bai didn't know what had happened, and he didn't intend to make any rash moves.

The chances of the stragglers getting into trouble are very small. He's only a demigod now, and the Order of the Gods wouldn't dare to attack him right now.

Using force to open the door could have negative consequences.

Jiang Bai thought for a moment and decided to go out and take a look.

He had been taken underground for some time now, and since there was no one around, he figured if he didn't go out and take a look, when would he have the chance?

They followed the elevator all the way to the Imperial College.

The entire council chamber was exactly the same as the underground chamber, eerily quiet and deathly still.

Jiang Bai didn't see anyone until he left the Academy.

Jiang Bai couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"What's going on? Is it haunted?"

Gudu floated beside him, completely bewildered by the current situation.

Jiang Bai walked around the area, but he couldn't see a single mercenary group that should have been guarding the area. He couldn't even see a single person in the huge city when he looked down.

It was as if the entire city of Sumeru had become a ghost town overnight.

Jiang Bai felt a little creeped out.

He touched his earring; the energy of the telepathic communication device had been restored. He had originally intended to send a message to Hu Tao, but instead sent it directly to Kong.

After waiting for a while, he did not receive any reply.

Jiang Bai was a bit skeptical, so he found the nearest dormitory of the Order Academy.

He breathed a sigh of relief after arriving at his dormitory.

It turns out that the people didn't disappear; they were all at home.

Jiang Bai randomly found a multi-person dormitory and had Gudu squeeze through the gap into the dormitory door to unlock it for him.

Upon entering the dormitory, Jiang Bai carefully observed the sleeping students.

Without exception, they all entered a deep sleep and were all wearing Void Terminals.

External stimuli cannot awaken them.

Jiang Bai touched the void on his ear and then took it off.

The only difference between him and them was perhaps that he was wary of this thing and didn't have the habit of sleeping with the Void Terminal on.

The current anomaly is very likely originating from the Void Terminal.

Jiang Bai did not rashly attempt to remove someone else's Void Upper Body, as he was unsure if this would lead to any serious consequences.

Just like you can't wake someone who's sleepwalking.

Out of caution, he continued upwards toward the sacred tree.

It is said that the Pure Goodness Palace, where the Little Auspicious Grass King resides, is located at the very top of the Sacred Tree.

The entire city of Sumeru was asleep, which presented a good opportunity to see the Little Auspicious Grass King.

Jiang Bai found Jing Shan Palace without much effort.

The gates of Jingshan Palace were tightly closed, as if an invisible energy was sealing off the interior.

Bai Yuan appeared in Jiang Bai's hand, golden light flashing, and Jiang Bai forcefully cut a passageway.

Chapter 707 I am Naxi Da

For the first time in 500 years, sunlight streamed through the gate into the house.

The tiny deity floating in mid-air sensed the disturbance and opened its eyes.

The sunlight reflected in her clear, four-leaf clover-like eyes.

She stared, somewhat dazed, at the sunlight streaming through the small doorway.

Then his gaze fell on the figure that was slowly walking in.

"who are you?"

This was the first question uttered by this naive deity.

Jiang Bai looked at the tiny deity in front of him, and his first thought was that the Seven Gods Statue hadn't lied to him after all.

Little Lucky Grass King is truly a nascent deity, with an appearance no different from that of a five- or six-year-old child.

Jiang Bai didn't answer her question; instead, he asked her a question:

"You must be the Little Lucky Grass King. Do you know what happened in Sumeru City?"

The Little Lucky Grass King remained silent for a while, seemingly assessing the person in front of him.

"They were caught in a huge dream."

Although only a dozen hours had passed in the outside world, the dream had already gone through dozens of cycles.

"A dream? Is it because of the Void Terminal?"

Jiang Bai felt that only the void could do such a thing.

"I met a traveler in my dream, and you must be his friend."

"You saw Kong? How is he?"

"He discovered the anomaly in the dream and is trying to figure out how to break it. But every time the dream resets, he forgets the memories of the previous cycle, until he discovers me..."

Her power is dreams; she can enter dreams at will.

However, in this vast dream, only Sora can see her.

"Is this so weird? Can I wake him up directly from the outside?"

"No. Their consciousness is connected to the void, and their brain's computing power is being used by the void. If we rashly disconnect them from the void, it will very likely cause irreversible damage to their brains."

Jiang Bai had a headache. "This is going to be difficult..."

Since he couldn't physically disconnect from the internet, he couldn't get help from the outside world and could only rely on himself to find the key to breaking the dream.

If it's not serious, that's fine. But if it is, he'll have no choice but to try to force his way into the lab and shut down the void directly.

"If you talk to me here, will you still appear in my dreams?"

"It's alright, I can multitask. I've already informed your friend of your arrival, even though he'll forget about it in the next cycle."

Jiang Bai was relieved; for the time being, he no longer needed to worry about being empty.

"That's good. With your help, he should be able to leave the dream soon."

Kong's abilities are beyond question, and he also has the help of this Little Lucky Grass King. Although the people of the Order say that this Little Lucky Grass King is very weak, he is still a god and will always have some special abilities.

"Your name is Jiang Bai, right? My name is Naxi Da."

"Then I'll call you Naxida."

Jiang Bai felt that this deity was very easy to talk to and had no airs of a deity at all.

"Jiang Bai, why are you here?" Naxi Da looked at him, very curious about why he was here and how he broke the seal of Jing Shan Palace.

"When I woke up, I couldn't see a single person. There was no one in the church or on the streets. Later I realized that they were all sleeping in their houses. The whole city was sleeping, which I found very unusual."

“This unusual thing makes me feel very insecure. I heard from someone that you were in Jingshan Palace, so I decided to try my best to find you.”

Finding the Little Lucky Grass King would be ideal, but if not, he'd have to try to find Kong, who was somewhere in Sumeru City.

If all else fails, go back to Huacheng Guo and check on Tinali's situation.

Finally, having no other choice, they had to break into the lab.

"You're lucky you weren't included in the Void's link."

"Because I don't have the habit of sleeping with the Void Terminal on." Jiang Bai shrugged, not thinking it was luck.

"There's no one outside right now, would you like to come for a walk with me? I have a lot of things I want to ask you," Jiang Bai invited her.

It's rather pitiful to be locked up in such a place for 500 years.

There's nothing here but walls; if he were locked up here for 500 years, he would have gone mad long ago.

"Let's go for a walk..."

Naxi Da was stunned for a moment.

For 500 years, she has never stepped out of this place.

Today, can we finally go out?

Stepping out of Jingshan Palace, the warm sunshine bathed Naxida, giving her a feeling of being in another world.

So this is what it feels like to step out of the shell.

Every cell in my body was radiating joy, and even my body felt lighter.

She stretched out her hand, letting the sunlight fall on her fingertips, "So warm..."

Although she had used the Adventurers' Guild's Catherine doll to operate outside several times, this was the first time she had actually come out on her own.

It's been so long, so long that she's forgotten what it felt like to be bathed in sunlight.

Perhaps the sunlight was too bright and dazzling, because her eyes felt a little sore.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Bai felt a little sorry for her.

How could a god allow himself to be treated like this?

She probably has no idea that the Church is creating a new god to replace her.

This little auspicious grass king is a bit too weak-willed.

"You've been locked up in Jingshan Palace all this time, haven't you ever thought about coming out?"

Nasita shook her head, "I am not a qualified god. I am too weak, and I do not possess wisdom. I am far from being the god of wisdom of Mount Sumeru..."

Jiang Bai's expression was indescribable.

Was this god being manipulated by PUA?

"Perhaps they will accept me when I truly possess wisdom..."

Jiang Bai couldn't resist and reached out to ruffle her hair.

It's not that I wanted to be disrespectful to God, it's just that someone this tall would hit my head with a single blow.
