CHAPTER 437: CHAPTER 359: THE GULLIBLE EMILY

When everyone returned to the Great World of Holy Light from the Holy Flame Bone City, Lilith kept glancing back.

Lette couldn’t help but tease, "What, having second thoughts about leaving?"

"We’re leaving just like this, leaving that place unattended—won’t there be any problems?"

"Don’t worry, although the Nether Beach’s underground city system isn’t perfect, it was meticulously designed by me.

There won’t be any problems!

Even if a strong enemy invades, I can sense it immediately."

Unexpectedly, Lilith waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, I mean, will anything happen to the Nether Beach?"

"Of course something will happen, something big even, and that has to happen!"

Lette drew a circle in the air with his finger, "I’ve done so much, just to bait a trap!

Only by setting a good trap, there won’t be any air forces by then.

This time it might not be possible to bait out the Gate of Truth, but catching a few apostles is good enough!

I’m not greedy!"

Lilith opened her mouth, finally choosing to remain silent.

Because the apostles, who wield power granted by the indescribable, are above ordinary conceptual levels.

Are you treating them as fish to catch?

However, Lilith understood Lette’s purpose in doing so.

He is particularly averse to situations where the enemy is hidden while he’s exposed.

If the enemy faces him openly, army against army, general against general, he would gladly play a match.

Even if many rules aren’t fair, even if the opponent has some initial advantage.

Just like with the First Empire.

With his power, he could easily and efficiently wipe them out.

But he chose to win that war step by step, with calculated measures.

There were some goals he needed to achieve, but actually, he also had a mindset of a game in it.

But if the enemy insists on hiding in the shadows, trying to launch a sneak attack and play dirty.

Then Lette would enter a berserk mode, beginning to mercilessly target the opponent.

Using all means and methods to compress the enemy’s living space, forcing the opponent to confront him head-on.

Lilith once asked Lette before, but he said it’s a kind of stress response.

It is inherent, just like his anxiety caused by insufficient firepower, or panic due to lack of resources and food reserves, which are incurable.

With one last glance towards the direction of the Holy Flame Bone City, Lilith sighed.

Poor Gate of Truth, they really chose the wrong way, provoking a madman.

Next, they will naturally suffer from this person’s hysterical torment.

"If I can’t sleep well, neither can they!"

Lette chuckled sinisterly, saying words that only Lilith could understand, returning to the central underground city.

Here, the massive Life Mushrooms’ offshoots were thriving.

Three offshoots have already been sent to the Nether Beach and have been successfully planted.

The entire industrial chain has begun operation, with a continuous flow of world power being transported through the fungal pipelines, injected into the offshoots of the Life Mushrooms, and then directed toward the main Life Mushroom.

There, the world power will feedback into the Great World of Holy Light, promoting the world’s restoration.

"Just maintaining this intensity, and before long, the Great World of Holy Light will be mostly restored.

By then, we can start the World Ascension Plan."

Lette, hands on hips, stood before the Life Mushroom offshoots, boasting grandiloquently.

"The Great World of Holy Light will become the Holy Light Divine Realm, and finally become the Light Realm!"

Lilith linked her arm with his, "Before that, I think you should help the Goddesses of Holy Light complete their metamorphosis from Law Gods to Rule Gods first."

"Oh! Right! As the world’s main gods, they indeed should be promoted."

Lette patted his forehead, "I’ve been so busy lately I’ve forgotten all about it."

As the apparent main gods of the Great World of Holy Light, Afra and Joanna are the representatives of this world.

If the world ascends and they’re still Law Gods, it just wouldn’t make sense.

And without the capabilities of Rule Gods, managing such a vast middle-class world would be incredibly exhausting.

For instance, now Joanna is so busy that she’s untraceable every day.

While there’s the fact that Afra is so lazy and incapable, it also indirectly proves that managing the entire world as Law Gods is truly laborious.

If they smoothly ascend to become Rule Gods, a lot of the tedious and redundant labor can be completed more simply and quickly by amending the divine rules.

Not to mention, Joanna also has the authority of law and is simultaneously a World Main God.

Ascending to the rule level would be highly effective in freeing up her manpower.

"Hehe..."

Lette wrapped an arm around Lilith’s slender waist, whispering in her ear.

"Once Joanna ascends successfully, work won’t be that busy. In the future, we can have three people together often.

What do you think about the day of her successful ascension?"

Lilith rolled her eyes at Lette, "Annoying, what are you thinking about all day? Three people together?"

Nearby, Emily heard the noise, turned back and asked, "What three people, what are three people doing together?"

Lette glared at her, "Play!"

"Play what? Is it fun?"

"Shoo, shoo, adult matters, kids shouldn’t inquire lightly!"

Emily puffed out her chest angrily, "Am I a kid?"

Lette looked at Emily, furrowing his brows, "Hmm... you definitely aren’t a kid anymore either.

How about this, I’ll set up a trial for you, how about it?"

"A trial?"

Emily’s interest was immediately piqued, "What kind of trial?"

"When I was young..."

"Are you very old now?"

"Ahem! Listen seriously!"

Lette stretched his hand and gave her a hand chop, then cleared his throat and said, "In my early years, young and frivolous, I created three Holy Artifacts.

One of them is the Holy Sword·Sin Light that you’re very familiar with.

Among the other two, one is very suitable for Alice, which is the Imaginary Country·Utopia.

I now need you to take Alice, to the far north, to the tribe of the Half Beast Race, to find this sealed Holy Artifact.

If Alice can acquire it and gain its approval, she will perfectly replicate her strength from the Dream Realm into the present world.

By then, her safety will no longer be a concern.

However, there will be many hardships and dangers on this journey before acquiring the Imaginary Country, she will still be relatively fragile.

Thus, she needs you, the big sister, to protect her!

Any problems?"

Upon hearing she could join the cute Alice on a venture, and being the elder sister to protect her, Emily immediately nodded like a pecking chicken.

"Willing, willing, I’m willing!"

"Great! Then go prepare! You can pick anything from the Elf Clan’s treasury! All the Holy Light Churches along the way will provide you with services!

What are you waiting for? Make haste and get into action!"

"I’ll head back first to sleep, then find Alice to tell her the good news!"

Emily cheered excitedly, riding the breeze towards the exit of the Earth Cave, while Lilith watched her departing figure with some concern.

"Her... is she really okay?"

"Of course not, she’s so rash."

Lette wrapped Lilith’s shoulders with a grin, "That’s why I had her bring Alice, who is relatively dependable, and I’m more at ease."

As Lette said this, he glanced at Jenny beside him. The latter, feeling his gaze, immediately retreated backward.

"Don’t try to send me away; I was already planning to head out and continue searching for other witches."

"Actually, I have something to give you."
