Chapter 256
"Uh, Silili, you mean the world I'm going to now isn't the assessment world you prepared for me, nor the Academy's assessment world?"
Lilith looked at her mother, dumbstruck.
"Yes."
Silili nodded.
"Aaaah!!! Then it's over!!!"
The ragdoll cat hugged her head, an exaggerated Color Art expression surfacing on her face: "Then my confirmation, my confirmation is completely ruined!!!"
Honestly, Lilith could barely hold it together right now.
What she was doing now was like taking the college entrance exam, getting halfway through, and discovering she was actually taking the graduate school entrance exam.
No matter how you did on the paper, it wasn't the college entrance exam anyway.
No school would admit you to an undergraduate program based on your graduate entrance exam scores...
So, everything Lilith did was all wasted effort...
"Uh, although I don't want to provoke you, the facts are obviously just like that." Silili spread her hands: "Sigh, and this world's Difficulty is outrageously high, fundamentally not something a half-baked person like you can Deal With."
"Forget it, you Come Back, don't worry about this world's matters."
"I'll arrange another world for you again."
"Ignore it?" Lilith froze for a moment, fell silent for a bit, then shook her head: "That won't do, the living beings of that world also live in the apocalypse, I can't sit by and watch them welcome a Destruction Outcome."
"Emmm..." Silili looked at her daughter in shock, eyes wide.
"What are you looking at me like that for?" Lilith was Doubtful.
Unexpectedly, Silili actually grabbed her and pulled her over, groping her up and down, crazy RUA-ing the cat, scratching until she meowed non-stop.
"Itchy, hateful, itchy, itchy ah, you can't be like this!" Lilith struggled free with all her might, glaring at her own mother: "Meow's sake, what are you doing?"
"I just suspect you're not my daughter at all." Silili sneered: "My daughter that kind of scoundrel, how could she possibly say this kind of patriotic, people-caring talk?"
"Hehe, I thank you." Lilith's Mouth Corner Twitched, but her words took a turn, she sighed: "Originally, I indeed didn't have that kind of thought, being a Savior Goddess was just because this profession is the most respected."
"But along this journey, I followed Big Boss, saw countless deaths, countless sorrows, I admit, the old me was too naive."
"It's not that becoming a Savior Goddess makes you respected, but because you Saved the World, you can be called a Savior Goddess."
"No matter how Terrifying this world is, I will walk on with Big Boss until we return a bright and clear world to all living beings."
Her voice was not Loud, but her gaze was incomparably determined, Tone resolute.
While speaking, various Screens flashed in her mind.
Night City Battle, countless undead who died in the war.
Full Moon Academy, the future where Dian Huo burned everything to ashes.
Wrath Father God Domain, those innocents who died inside the Demon Race Tents, and the pitiable people they left behind...
Scene after scene, all made Lilith's heart undergo changes.
She was no longer that Apprentice Goddess who only wanted to easily Clear and get confirmed.
The current her only wanted these pitiable things to not continue Happening.
Silili looked at her unexpectedly, finally still sighed: "You've grown up, Lilith."
"Hehe, I grow too." Lilith rubbed her cat head somewhat Embarrassed.
"But the problem is, that thing you Summoned..." Silili sighed: "He's also fundamentally not any Savior Candidate..."
"Even if he's not a Savior Candidate, I..." Lilith patted her own chest, eyes suddenly widening: "What thing?!"
"Sigh, I just checked the Savior Candidate list." Silili sighed: "There's fundamentally no person called Big Boss on it."
"I don't know either, how you Summoned him here..."
"Ah this... I, am I that amazing?" Lilith was dumbfounded.
"Amazing? You call this amazing?" Silili slapped a palm onto her own daughter's head.
"Ow, what are you doing~"
"This is serious Negligence, you know?" Silili said seriously: "Just based on this one thing, it's enough to make you permanently lose Savior Goddess Qualification!"
"Ah... but, but I also don't know how I did it..." Lilith rubbed her head, aggrievedly drooping her Ears.
No wonder she always felt Big Boss was off, his every move completely different from the Savior image in the Textbook... turns out this guy fundamentally isn't a Savior at all.
Lilith gritted her teeth, if not for her being Clever, Coming Back once, she might not have known this guy's Identity was fake even after Clearing.
Hateful, hateful ah... meow's sake, infuriating me to death! If Big Boss were here, Lilith would definitely give him a set of Cat Meow Fist, make him Kneel and Apologize and admit fault!
"So, the best solution now is for you to Come Back from that world." Silili continued: "Then, we'll dispatch senior Goddesses and Saviors to Save that world."
"That way, your confirmation assessment can continue, and that world won't face a catastrophic disaster."
"Is that so..." Lilith pondered for a moment, slowly spoke: "Then... what about Big Boss?"
"He was originally just a person who popped out from who knows where, merely one member of all living beings." Silili looked through the Window at the bright Sky, revealing a hard-to-detect pity:
"Sometimes, Saving the World also requires necessary sacrifices."
As the words fell, Lilith only felt her heart thump heavily.
The Adrenaline surge made her lips turn somewhat pale, numb scalp driving her trembling body, the whole cat's fur stood up, two big eyes covered in a layer of water mist.
Necessary sacrifices...
I see, as a discordant factor, a factor not in the rules, Big Boss's Outcome was only left with being Cleaned Up.
I should have thought of it long ago...
Damn, damn, I really deserve to Die.
This moment, Lilith regretted incomparably.
She regretted Coming Back here, regretted telling her mother about things.
If, I had still stayed by Big Boss's side, everything would be different, right?
Li Cheng's sunny smile surfaced in her mind, and the Ragdoll Cat's voice was somewhat choked: "Th-then, is there really no other way?"
"No." Silili rubbed her head: "There is only this one way; the rules are such. Otherwise, you cannot be freed from the Contract, and the new Savior Goddess and Savior cannot enter that World."
"All living beings and Li Cheng — one of them must be sacrificed."
She spoke leisurely, her tone also full of sighs.
"Choose all living beings or choose Li Cheng... I know, I know all of it. I am the Goddess; I should live for the sake of all living beings in the apocalypse..." The Ragdoll Cat clenched her claws, her voice growing more choked, and shouted: "But, but I, I don't want that rising Dong Xi to die!"
"Die? What die?" Silili froze for a moment, then immediately tilted her head in puzzlement.
"Eh?" Lilith froze: "Didn't you say, a sacrifice must be made..."
"I did say sacrifice." Silili blinked, revealing a cunning smile of a scheme succeeded: "But what I meant was, to send Li Cheng back to his original World, so he no longer meddles in these matters."
"No way, no way, Lilith, you don't think Mother I want to kill your little lover, do you?"
"Tsk tsk tsk, Lilith, foolish you, truly amusing~"
"Meow!"
Lilith Cat instantly petrified, then immediately, gnashing her teeth, directly headbutted toward Silili: "Meow meow meow, you this scoundrel mother, pervert scum, bad woman who likes to tease others, today, I will enforce family discipline on you!"
Immediately after, the cat head hit that G-cup giant thunder shock-absorbing belt, then with a pop, bounced back up.
Lilith covered her head in horror: "Truly, truly this bouncy?"
Silili cupped the thunder with both hands, shook them, and gave a confident smile: "Heh, my foolish daughter, this is the Adult world you can never touch."
"Ahhhhh! Scoundrel, scoundrel!" Lilith Cat found a pillar, crazily using her head to smash it violently: "How could I have such a scoundrel mother!"
"Hmph hmph." Silili instead narrowed her eyes playfully.
The little lover she just mentioned, Lilith did not refute.
Coupled with the previous attitude.
Very obvious, this cabbage Li Cheng, has arching his way into her pig.
"To actually be able to fancy my foolish daughter, this Li Cheng... aesthetics unique enough." Silili propped her chin, falling into contemplation.
A few seconds later, she still decided to carefully examine Li Cheng, fulfilling her duty as a mother.
Not just any cabbage, that even her pig can be worthy of.
Thinking here, Silili put her hands together, her eyes lighting up.
Countless Screens flooded into her mind, surging information rolling in her pupils.
She saw Li Cheng's arrival, saw what he had done, saw how humble his Birth was, and also saw his...
"Ah!"
A cry of alarm pulled Lilith, who was smashing the pillar, back to Reality. She hurriedly turned her head, but discovered Silili had already fallen to the ground.
Under that white thin gauze, nine Tails actually extended, and a pair of fluffy white Ears also grew on her head.
"Hey, Old Mom, what's your situation, how come even your true form is revealed." Ragdoll Cat hurriedly floated over, supporting her.
"I... I..."
Silili still panted heavily with lingering fear, the G-cup giant meat thunder rising and falling with her breathing.
Just now that moment, after she finished reading all the things Li Cheng had done in this World, she wanted to investigate Li Cheng's original Identity.
But the moment she investigated, she saw a pair of eyes.
A pair of eyes that seemed to span countless Worlds, containing boundless Terror.
She knew where those eyes came from, and was very clear what the existence of this thing meant.
But she had just wanted to communicate with those eyes, when she was directly bounced out from that information.
By the time she came to her senses, she discovered her true form had unconsciously transformed out.
"This Li Cheng, originally comes from There..."
"Damn it, a suddenly appearing World, continuously rising World Difficulty, a suddenly summoned stranger, and those eyes that seem to review everything..."
"Hateful, this feeling, identical to that time. Tens of billions of years have passed, those things, have they returned again..."
Silili lightly stroked her Forehead, continuously adjusting her Breathing. "Mother, what are those things you speak of?" Lilith hurriedly asked.
"Hmm..." Silili was silent for a moment, finally retracting her Tails and Ears, her expression unprecedentedly grave: "This matter, it is not yet time for you to know."
Lilith: "Hehe, I see you are not only a scoundrel mother, but also a scoundrel Riddle Man. Don't you know Riddle Men deserve to die most?"
"I also don't want to hide it from you, but you are too Weak. Even if only a trace of information about them enters your mind, you will directly go mad, with no possibility of ever regaining Rationality."
Silili shook her head, worried: "Lilith, I feel you had better stay away from Li Cheng."
"Mother Adult, I am not afraid of Danger." Ragdoll Cat shook her head.
"No, you misunderstood my meaning." Silili said solemnly: "My meaning is, that Li Cheng's Identity is noble, you are not Qualified for him."
"I TM... you really are my birth mom..."
Lilith already didn't know, how many times she had broken down today.
Fortunately she had already found the familiar broken-down feeling, breaking down and breaking down she got Used To it.
"Then how exactly to put it? You weren't going to send him back to his original World?"
"I don't have that permission."
"You don't have permission? What are you saying? You are the Saving World Clan's Female Emperor, aren't all strangers summoned from different Worlds under your jurisdiction?" Lilith raised her volume.
"He, is special, was summoned by that Adult." Silili shook her head: "And you, chosen by him, are also special."
"Wait, why do I understand less and less? Shouldn't it be me who summoned him?" Lilith couldn't help scratching her cat head.
"Hehe, some things, cause looks like effect, effect looks like cause, inverted cause for effect, inverted effect for cause, cannot be spoken, cannot be spoken."
Silili held Lilith in her arms, gently helping her smooth her fur: "There exist certain existences, who in order to avoid the Rules' constraints, need an anchor point to intervene in the World."
"And your Summoning Ritual, is that anchor point. But whether this was deliberately chosen by him, or a chance and coincidence hybrid, I also cannot say clearly."
"But... still not right..." Lilith was even more puzzled: "I've seen Li Cheng's past, before he came over, he was a stinky gamer, and even got blown up by his own gaming pod!"
"Is what you see really true?" Silili shook her head instead and smiled.
"I say, you wouldn't be teasing me again, would you?" Lilith looked suspiciously at her fox-woman foster mother.
Though she had always felt Big Boss was off, with all sorts of outrageous operations constantly appearing, he was indeed defying heaven among those who defy heaven.
But now suddenly telling her that Big Boss was someone chosen by some great figure left Lilith somewhat at a loss.
It was like having a classmate you grew up with who stole your snacks every day turn out to be the mayor's son—a gap in status.
"Don't worry, I haven't lied to you about this." Silili shook her head. "Besides, you and Big Boss are both in the midst of a storm right now, yet unaware of it."
"This involves a gamble spanning countless ages."
"Now, even I can't save the two of you."
"Is that so..." Lilith mused, but her face rarely failed to show exaggerated expressions.
"You don't seem very nervous?"
"Hmm... how to put it, if we're talking about being nervous, then yes, I am nervous, after all it's spanning billions of years, and a gamble, and some great figure I can't even know about."
"This kind of thing, no matter how you think about it, shouldn't be something a little cat... an Apprentice Goddess like me should get involved in."
Lilith hugged her arms, nodding nonstop: "But when I think that this matter requires me and Big Boss to face it together... hmm, for some reason, I suddenly felt reassured."
Saying this, Lilith shyly shook her tail, and two blushes appeared on her cat face.
"I didn't expect your relationship to be this good..." Silili raised her eyebrows, showing a gossipy auntie smile.
"Of course! Don't look at how many women Big Boss has, actually the one he likes most, hmm, is me!" Lilith proudly stuck out her chest and began daydreaming.
"He has many other women?" Silili's expression suddenly turned unfriendly.
The harmonious auntie smile from just now had vanished completely, replaced only by terrifying killing intent.
"Cough cough, not what you think." Lilith hurried to soothe: "It's just, just a fling for the sake of saving the world!"
"A fling? A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost, who knows whether he's having a fling with those vixens or with you?"
Silili had already taken out a chopper and a whetstone, beginning to grind it.
Actually, he won't even have a fling with me... Lilith roared inwardly, but still forced a smile: "No, Mom, Auntie, Sister, Granny, Grandma, Ancestor! Stop grinding!"
"He's really good to me, and besides, didn't you say he's involved in some gamble!"
"Gamble? What gamble? That faithless scoundrel who hurt my daughter, I don't care what he is!" Silili gritted her teeth: "I must castrate him, and when you need to use him, I'll reattach it for you!"
"Hmm? It can be done like that?" Lilith was greatly shocked, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly grabbed her hand: "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive! Besides, you can't even see him!"
"Can't see him? Heh heh, you reminded me." Silili paused, then sneered twice: "I'll find an opportunity to meet him."
"What do you want to do?" Lilith suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Unspeakable, unspeakable. Alright, you go back now." Silili put away the chopper: "Remember, if you want to live, you must help Big Boss well and find the truth hidden in that world."
"I say Silili, this way of speaking is too vague..." The Ragdoll Cat had black lines all over her head: "I don't even know where to go to find it."
"Actually, you're already close." Silili thought for a moment and said: "Go back and tell Big Boss, his guess is correct, the Abyss is indeed alive, not some concept similar to the Heavenly Arrive, but true life."
"Find him, and you'll know what's hidden behind this world."
"I understand..." Lilith nodded.
So it seemed Big Boss's previous plan was indeed correct.
As the holder of the Abyss Incarnation, the Plague Mother Goddess should be the one who understands the Abyss most among everyone.
Starting from her side would be the most cost-effective.
"Alright, no time to lose, hurry back." Silili rubbed her head again and said reluctantly: "Also, tell Big Boss, friends aren't necessarily friends, and enemies aren't necessarily enemies."
"Know who to trust and who to guard against, keep your eyes open."
"I know..."
Lilith obediently nodded: "Then I'm leaving?"
"Go, Mom will always wait for you to come back."
"Mm."
The crack in space-time opened once more, and Lilith disappeared from the room.
Silili looked at the room without a trace of her, suddenly feeling somewhat desolate.
"Billions of years ago, my mother experienced that infinite terror, billions of years later, it's my child..."
"Could it be, this is fate?"
But this desolation only lasted a few seconds before disappearing.
With a sigh, she lightly snapped her fingers, and the white gauze on her body turned into a solemn pure-white ceremonial dress.
A dazzling golden crown appeared on her head, and eighteen-centimeter-high high heels made her figure appear even more slender.
Her face no longer had the laziness and cunning from just now, only the shrewdness and majesty of an emperor.
Her figure flashed, and when she appeared again, she was already inside the Royal Palace of this world.
She walked toward the Throne on her long legs and said in a deep voice:
"Let the ministers come to discuss affairs."
"Those bastard evil gods who turned countless worlds into apocalypses have come back."
On the other side.
Lilith returned to Big Boss's side.
As soon as she looked, she saw Big Boss leaning against a tree, eating a Meat Pie in a Bun while using the Blood Clan's telekinesis to control Flying Needles flying in the sky.
The Flying Needle flew in an "S" for a while, then flew in a "B" for a while, playing to his heart's content.
Lilith looked at Big Boss, suddenly feeling he was somewhat unfamiliar.
Not only because his looks seemed a bit higher, but also because...
The words the adoptive mother had just said.
What exactly was the identity of this newly risen Dong Xi? Was he really chosen by this heaven-defying thing?
Li Cheng also saw Lilith; his eyes trembled, and with the swiftness of thunder too fast to cover one's ears, he stuffed the meat pie in a bun in his hand into his mouth, his cheeks puffed out like a squirrel.
He said unclearly: "It's not that I didn't save some for you, mainly there really isn't any left~"
"I TM……" Lilith had black lines all over her head, laughing in anger: "Hehe, you're back, you're all back."
"TMD, no matter who you are, anyway you're just a newly risen Dong Xi!"
At the same time.
Li Er, who had been bound by the Turtle Shell Binding and held in hand by the enraged Father God, looking utterly hopeless, revealed a sinister smile.
"Kie kie kie, kie kie kie, settlement! Finally settled!"
The enraged Father God, who had been running madly, stopped and furrowed his brow: "What are you saying?"
He had deliberately brought Li Er, his purpose being to use him to offer a flag to himself on the eve of the great war! Of course, not a war flag, but the Reverse Flag!
Hearing Li Er's voice now, he felt something was wrong.
"Hehe, enraged Father God, enraged Father God, I'll tell you the truth, I've endured you for a long time!" Li Er smiled sinisterly, preparing to use this time to curse out this bastard who coveted his own body.
Anyway, settlement was imminent, he would directly transmit out of this trial.
The enraged Father God would never be able to find him again.
Before leaving, he definitely had to vent his mouth addiction and release all the pent-up frustration of this period!
"You, endured me for a long time?" The enraged Father God narrowed his eyes: "Endured me what?"
"Hehe." Li Er smiled mockingly, thinking about what malicious words to curse out.
And he didn't know that, with Li Cheng's intervention in this birth, even if he settled, he would not transmit out of the Abyss…
