If you were to ask Sasrir how he felt right now, a simple summary would probably be—
I'm so stupid, truly. I only knew that when the Heavenly Kingdom was intact, I had to deal with documents, but I didn't know that after the Heavenly Kingdom collapsed, my child would still have documents for me to handle. Looking at my child's brilliant smile, a shiver ran down my spine. I felt my vision darken, and 007 seemed to be beckoning me, wanting to return to my embrace.
But what could I do? I could only forgive him with tears in my eyes, like an old father, after all, he was the child that I (my true body) had picked up.
Perhaps his internal thoughts were too complex; even Sasrir couldn't help but take a deep breath at this moment to calm himself before reluctantly saying,
"What documents do you need me to handle? What kind of matters are they mainly about? I'm not familiar enough with the various situations right now, so I probably need to understand the circumstances first before I can help you with those matters."
"Hmm, there aren't any at the moment; it's just that I plan to establish a new order…" Even though Lin Ruo couldn't discern Sasrir's helplessness, he blinked a little guiltily, reflecting inwardly on whether what he was doing was inappropriate, while explaining his intentions to Sasrir.
Anyway, Adam already knew about this, so it wouldn't make a difference if Sasrir knew too.
After explaining, seeing Sasrir's thoughtful expression, Lin Ruo continued, "You also know that I'm not very good at handling various government affairs, but in the future, these things will need a trustworthy, reliable, and capable person to manage them. After much thought, the only one I could find was you."
While his tone wasn't exactly coquettish, it carried a hint of pitifulness, along with full trust in Sasrir.
Despite his guilt and introspection, Lin Ruo was determined to avoid being overworked in the future.
After all, he was facing Sasrir, who was nominally his elder brother but acted like an old father. Acting cute wasn't shameful; it was better than doing nothing and scaring Sasrir away, losing a valuable tool.
"You… sigh!" Sasrir seemed to shake his head helplessly, then conceded,
"I don't mind helping you; anyway, my mission is complete now, and I have nothing to do… But have you really thought it through? Establishing a new order is definitely not a simple task, especially in this world."
"I know it's difficult, but someone has to do it," Lin Ruo replied, looking at Sasrir and slowly saying, "Perhaps I won't succeed, or perhaps the outcome after success won't be as desired, or perhaps one day I'll regret it, but at least for now, I'm very firm and I've thought it through clearly."
Sasrir looked at him and nodded after a few seconds, "I understand."
"Organize the current state of society, the situations of various countries, important figures, as well as information on various Churches, secret organizations, high-level existences, and so on, and give them to me. Although I'm not sure if I can help with establishing a new order, after understanding this world, perhaps I can give you some useful suggestions."
"Okay." Lin Ruo's eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly nodded. He still believed in Sasrir's ability; the latter might indeed be able to offer constructive advice.
After nodding, Lin Ruo pondered how and from what channels to gather the information. Then, he thought of something else and asked, "But how should I give you these materials?"
"Through the child who holds your cross; I should be in that vicinity for a while now." Sasrir's gentle smile returned as he said, "It's also a good opportunity for me to look after your future believers."
"Thank you." Lin Ruo blinked, naturally not objecting, but only asked, "Can you leave the Forsaken Land of the Gods now? Hmm, Forsaken Land of the Gods is what the outside world calls the Eastern Continent now."
"Not yet, I'm afraid I can only come out after the door to the Giant King's Court opens." Sasrir shook his head.
Lin Ruo wasn't surprised by this. Just as he was about to say something, his body swayed.
Damn, I got too carried away talking; I'm out of spirituality.
Is five minutes really that short?
"It seems this meeting ends here." Sasrir clearly noticed Lin Ruo's abnormality immediately and smiled gently, "Take care of yourself, goodbye."
"Goodbye." Lin Ruo bid farewell. As soon as his voice fell, Sasrir in front of him closed his eyes; clearly, his consciousness had already departed.
Lin Ruo then canceled his simulation of the Scholar of Yore. The fatigue from running out of spirituality made him yawn lazily. Without picking a spot, he leaned back and half-lay on the sofa, falling asleep.
"Lin Ruo? Wake up, at least go to your room to sleep…" Klein subconsciously called out when he saw this, then walked over and gently poked Lin Ruo's head. Seeing that the latter was truly fast asleep, he could only show a helpless expression and resignedly went to find a blanket to cover Lin Ruo.
Klein himself simply sat on the sofa opposite Lin Ruo, picked up "Sights in the Spirit World" from the table, and began to read it slowly.
This was another book Lin Ruo had borrowed from the Church of the Evernight Goddess. It contained much knowledge related to the Spirit World. Ordinary people would be corrupted by merely reading it, and Beyonders could only read a certain amount per day for safety's sake.
According to Lin Ruo's request, Klein had to finish reading this book by the end of the month.
However, this time Lin Ruo didn't ask him to write an essay. Perhaps he had a change of heart?
Klein, who was reading, glanced at Lin Ruo and recalled his conversation with Sasrir just now, pressing down that thought.
Hoping for Lin Ruo to have a change of heart was indeed less practical than considering if he planned to assign other homework.
Hope it's not too difficult… Klein thought, and subconsciously sighed.
Life is not easy, cat sigh.jpg
...
Monday, three in the afternoon.
In the Forsaken Land of the Gods, Little Sun Derrick, who had received the meeting notification, silently counted in his heart while finding a quiet place.
Soon, crimson light erupted from his body, engulfing him. After arriving once again above the familiar Gray Fog, Little Sun Derrick suddenly froze. Scene after scene flashed through his mind—those were the scenes of him exploring the Fallen Creator's temple, memories forgotten under the power of the Angel of Fate.
Once, twice, thrice… A full three repetitions of the same scene, the same cycle, only broken on the fourth time by the presence of a mysterious shadow. Little Sun Derrick immediately felt a chill down his spine.
So they had truly fallen into a fate loop. If it weren't for that mysterious existence who called itself Little Shadow… No, that's not right. Even without that existence, with Mr. Fool present, we wouldn't have been trapped in the loop forever.
As if grasping a lifeline, Little Sun Derrick's panicked emotions finally settled significantly. He then thought of the task entrusted by the mysterious shadow and immediately looked at Chariot, only to find that there seemed to be an additional person beside Chariot.
Huh, a new member has joined again?
