Chapter 83: By the way, I can even help you beat the Great Sage

Nadixa certainly couldn't destroy the dream world she had painstakingly created.

Night fell.

In her anxious gaze, Luo De arrived as expected.

After realizing she could indeed not stop Luo De's arrival, Nadixa resigned herself.

She had even specially reinforced the dream world's firewall today, but it was still useless.

What else could she do?

Forcibly kicking Luo De out wouldn't work either, because as soon as he fell asleep again he'd come right back—kicking him out merely woke him up, making it impossible to permanently drive him away.

Nadixa felt she had never been so speechless in her life.

"Hey, Little Auspicious Grass King, I'm back."

Luo De still greeted her casually, warmed up a bit, and then launched another barrage of bombardment on the dream world.

With nowhere to go, Nadixa could only watch helplessly as Luo De kept conjuring new tricks there.

Yesterday Luo De played a summoning flow, attacking and destroying with various elemental constructs.

Today Luo De changed his tactics.

He began to play with elemental energy compression, adopting a firepower output approach.

Simply put.

That is, within his limits, he compresses the fire elemental energy in his left hand and the ice elemental energy in his right hand to the extreme, then fuses and detonates them.

The power is also quite impressive.

With Luo De's control ability, he can at most simultaneously manipulate one-third of his own ice and fire elemental energy at once; such a massive amount equals the eruption of the elemental energy from over twenty of his previous elemental constructs combined.

Watching the mountains and forests turned bald after the ice and fire merged, even her favorite waterfall ran dry.

Nadixa's lips trembled slightly.

Unlike several other gods with mighty divine power and countless faith,

Nadixa, due to lacking faith and never having performed divine duties, although her authority has nearly fully recovered, she hasn't been able to accumulate much divine power.

This limited divine power isn't even enough to break the cage.

And each time Luo De destroys a bit of the dream world, she must expend precious divine power to repair it.

"Feeling heartache?"

Seeing Nadixa's pained expression, Luo De scoffed: "Anyway you don't want to go out, what's the use of hoarding this bit of divine power? I might as well use it to train my elemental energy—makes good use of it."

"Hiss——"

Nadixa struggled to calm her agitation from Luo De's provocation, took a deep breath, and said: "I know you're using reverse psychology, trying to get me to leave the Pure Good Palace."

"But."

"Unfortunately."

"With my current feeble strength, even if I wanted to leave, I couldn't get out of that cage."

Luo De's reverse psychology is clumsy.

Nadixa could naturally see what he was really trying to do.

But the fact remains as such.

No matter how Luo De provokes her, unless he flattens the Academy, she simply cannot get out.

"Whether you can leave and whether you want to leave are not the same thing, my Little Auspicious Grass King."

Luo De chuckled: "If a caged bird doesn't yearn for the blue sky, it will spend its life shrinking in the cage; likewise, even if I now have the ability to open the cage, would you dare to fly out?"

These words left Nadixa once again speechless.

Just as Luo De said.

If he opened the cage that imprisoned her, would she dare to go out?

The answer.

I'm afraid, she still wouldn't dare.

"Forget it, just call you Nadixa; calling you Little Auspicious Grass King always feels weird."

Luo De crooked his finger at the silent Nadixa.

No need for more words.

Nadixa directly conjured a chair for him.

"Whoa——"

"So tired."

Luo De leisurely stretched, then leaned back in the chair, gazing at the sky Nadixa had created, and frowned: "What was I just going to tell you?"

"Oh, right, I remember now."

Luo De turned his head and said with a chuckle: "You're Nadixa, not the Great Merciful Tree King—why keep chasing after her? Just be yourself. All day you think this and that; have you ever thought about yourself? Nadixa, you aren't the God of Wisdom, are you? Such a simple truth—could you really not grasp it?"

Having said that.

Luo De then left Nadixa time to think, while he himself rested quietly beside her.

In the dream world.

His use of elemental energy still consumes normally as in the outside world, and his mental and physical fatigue are the same as outside.

Taking advantage of the rest, he unconsciously began to ponder the oddities about himself.

To be honest.

Even if Luo De were broad‑minded, facing so many abnormal aspects compared to ordinary people, he couldn't help but let his thoughts wander, wondering why he possessed such unfathomable traits.

One might say he is a Descendant.

But he doesn't possess the power of a Descendant that could rival a world.

They say he is blessed by the heavenly principle.

This favor seems a bit over the top, leaving him constantly feeling that there might be some conspiracy against him behind this benefit.

But he really can't understand why he is so special.

It can't be a 3D-to-2D dimensional strike, can it?

Just like that.

I don't know how long passed, Nadixa's call pulled Luo De back from his random thoughts.

Luo De, having come to his senses, looked over and raised an eyebrow, asking, "Huh? You figured it out so quickly?"

Nadixa also gave him a definite answer.

"Hmm, I am a bit angry now."

"Being angry is good, that's right~~~ one should be angry, being bullied like this, if not angry then there's no hope."

"But I am also very angry at you."

"Eh? What does that mean? Huh! Hey! Ouch, Nadixa, what are you doing! Oh my, it hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts, hurts! Nadixa, Little Auspicious Grass King, Great God of Wisdom, I was wrong, I won't burn your trees anymore, okay? Ouch, stop hitting! Hey hey hey, don't hit my face!"

Such miserable cries lasted a long time.

Until Nadixa finally vented her anger, Luo De, with a bruised nose and swollen face, finally managed to escape.

The facts prove it.

Nadixa saying her divine power is weak is relative to other gods.

Before ordinary mortal Luo De, she still has the ability to easily hoist Luo De up and give him a thrashing.

But thinking about it, that makes sense.

If Luo De didn't remember wrong.

Nadixa, who claims her divine power is weak, can still borrow her power from Xu Mi Cheng, protecting A Ru Cun from an earthquake capable of destroying the whole village, despite being thousands of kilometers away, without any harm.

Such mighty power is indeed not something Luo De can try to exploit.

"Ouch."

"Your strike is really harsh."

Luo De, whose whole body aches, while treating his injuries and covering his face, grimacing and complaining: "Can't you hit me a bit lighter?"

"I have already gone easy on you."

Nadixa chuckled.

Having finally vented her spite, she looks in a pretty good mood.

"You, sigh—"

"Forget it, I won't argue with you."

"Um, let's start teaching me."

Luo De, whose injuries have healed, moved his recovering legs a bit, then looked at Nadixa and said: "I am strong enough now, so I can rescue you, and by the way I can also give that Great Sage a good thrashing to vent my spite."
