Chapter 146: Main God Fragment

After bringing Yui home, Luo Yexi and the others returned one after another. When they saw Yui lying on the bed, they were all somewhat puzzled about her origins.

"Asuna, where did this little girl come from?" Kirito asked with some curiosity.

"This little girl is someone Lingyun and I discovered in the small woods outside the garden this afternoon!" Asuna replied.

"Discovered in the forest?" Busujima Saeko and Luo Yexi exchanged a glance, and in their hearts, they already had a rough idea of the girl's origins.

"Do you have any impressions regarding this girl?" Asuna asked.

Kirito spoke up: "Asuna, you should also know what happened when this game began; a massive number of people were swept into this world. Whether this child entered the game under such circumstances, we have no way of knowing."

"Is that so? But regardless, we must help this girl find her parents!" Asuna said.

"But, Asuna, have you ever thought about what we should do if this girl has no relatives in this world or if she has already lost them?" Luo Yexi asked.

"This?" Asuna was somewhat troubled.

"If such a situation really arises, then just let this little girl stay here; we will raise her!" Busujima Saeko's eyes lit up, though it was unclear what she had thought of.

"Mm, that can also be considered a feasible method!" Asuna nodded, but she always felt that the purpose Luo Yexi and the others had for wanting to keep the girl here was not simple.

At night, Lingyun was lying on the bed sleeping when he suddenly felt an unfamiliar aura appear beside him.

"Who?" Lingyun opened his eyes swiftly, only to see a small figure appearing at his bedside. "It's you?"

The one appearing at Lingyun's bedside was unexpectedly Yui, whom Lingyun had picked up in the small woods today.

"Papa, Papa!" Seeing Lingyun wake up, Yui laughed and threw herself into Lingyun's arms.

Lingyun hurriedly caught Yui and asked with some confusion: "Why do you call me Papa?"

"Because it was Papa who bestowed life upon Yui, so Papa is Yui's Papa!" Yui said with a joyful face.

"I bestowed life upon you?" Lingyun was somewhat bewildered.

"Mm, Papa, look!" Yui spread her hands, and her body gradually became translucent. Inside Yui's body, there was a diamond-shaped Crystal that was emitting a faint light.

"This is?" Lingyun's pupils constricted. The diamond-shaped Crystal inside Yui's body was exactly the Fantasy Creation he had created, but above this Fantasy Creation, there were other auras.

Yui's body had already returned to its original state. Lingyun's hand rested lightly on her small hand, and an invisible power slowly permeated into Yui's body, wrapping around that Fantasy Creation.

"A fragment of the Main God's true body, why would it appear in this place?" A monstrous wave surged in Lingyun's heart.

Main God—this name was a renowned existence within the World Consciousness. After all, as a great aggregation of fortune within the River of Time and Space, it had once ruled over a vast sea of Small Worlds, and it had a large number of extremely powerful Reincarnators under its command.

When the Main God Space still existed, Lingyun had to dodge its subordinate Reincarnators while traveling through various worlds; if he happened to run into them, all sorts of unpleasant things would always happen. Moreover, Lingyun had once been trapped in the Reincarnation Space, and only after paying a not-insignificant price and using up many brain cells did he manage to leave that place of right and wrong.

However, in the present, the Main God Space has already become a thing of the past. That's right, the Main God Space that once ran rampant through the River of Time and Space has become a thing of the past, and even its true body, the "Big Egg," was smashed into fragments.

However, the Main God Space having this outcome was also its own fault. At that time, the influence of the Main God Space in the River of Time and Space had developed to its peak; there was no telling how many worlds were under its control, allowing Reincarnators to come and go as they pleased. It was precisely at this time that the Main God believed it had become the master of the River of Time and Space, and it courted death by extending its hand toward the batch of worlds managed by the top-tier World Consciousnesses, thereby triggering a protracted cross-world war.

Although the Main God controlled a massive number of worlds, it still fell into a disadvantage when facing the most powerful batch of World Consciousnesses; after all, the strength of this group of women, who had existed for who knows how long, had already reached an unimaginably high level. At that time, Lingyun also participated in this battle, and even the final shattering of the "Big Egg" was caused by him. But this was not his original intention; rather, he had been tricked into it by an unscrupulous woman. After the war, he searched for this unscrupulous woman many times, but discovered that she had completely vanished, as if this person had never existed in this world.

Of course, winning this battle was not without any cost. A large number of World Consciousnesses were severely damaged in this battle, no one knows how many worlds were destroyed, and many worlds had their levels lowered. Moreover, the reason why there are travelers running around everywhere in the River of Time and Space now also has an inseparable connection to this battle. The fact that the current River of Time and Space will fall into a state of chaos because of a single disturbance by the Underworld King also has a great deal to do with that battle.

When all is said and done, the most important thing is that there is an unresolvable grudge between the Main God and Lingyun; after all, the final strike that caused the Main God's disintegration was delivered by Lingyun. Now that Lingyun has discovered the aura of a Main God fragment on the Fantasy Creation, he inevitably wonders if the Main God has discovered him and is coming to take revenge on him.

If he were in his prime, he could naturally face the Main God's revenge with ease. The key is that his current strength is not even one in ten thousand, and he is completely unable to withstand the malice coming from the Main God. However, Lingyun thought about it carefully, and the Main God's revenge is completely impossible. After all, the Main God of those years was besieged by several of the most powerful World Consciousnesses working together, and in the end, its consciousness was completely erased. Under such circumstances, the Main God could not possibly have any chance of survival, otherwise, where would those World Consciousnesses put their faces?

Thinking of this, Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless, he is already being targeted by that troublesome fellow, the Underworld King, and if a Main God were added to that, he would definitely have a headache!

However, the fact that this world could have such changes is definitely inseparable from the Main God Fragment, right?

"Then, Yui, why did you appear in the forest near my house, why did you faint when you saw me, and how is the battle situation on the top floor of Aincrad?" Lingyun asked.

"As for that, the reason I appeared in this place is that the sisters on the top floor sent me down. Because as long as one controls me, one can possess most of the control over this world, so in order to protect me from being attacked by that guy, the sisters joined forces to send me to a floor that had already been cleared," Yui said. "As for the current battle situation on the top floor, it seems the sisters have formed a powerful Seal Array to seal that power away. If we want to eliminate it, I'm afraid we will still have to rely on Papa!"

"Is that so? But why do I always feel that those few fellows did this on purpose?" Lingyun said with a frown. "Forget it, let's not worry about such things for now. Then, what about the reason you fainted?"

"This is because before I met Papa, a part of the power within my body could never fully merge with me. But the moment I saw Papa, this part of the power suddenly merged with me completely. I fainted because I couldn't bear such a large amount of power all at once!" Yui explained.

Listening to Yui's explanation, Lingyun was still somewhat uneasy and released his own power to circulate through Yui's body. Only after confirming that Yui was truly fine did he breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Since that's the case, Yui, go back to your own room to sleep first; I will introduce you to everyone tomorrow." Lingyun smiled and patted Yui's head.

"No, no, I want to sleep with Papa!" Yui said, pouting her lips.

Looking at Yui's insistent appearance, Lingyun sighed helplessly. It looked like he would definitely have to sleep with this little one tonight!

"Alright, but you are not allowed to move around!"

"Yay, Papa is the best!" Yui cheered and burrowed into Lingyun's quilt.
