Chapter 477: Must get it into my hands

At the end of the Eternal Road, a white light flashed across the teleportation array. Xia Xia Mala appeared within it. She didn't come out immediately, but instead poked her head out, peering around in every direction.

"Eh, Xia Xia Mala? Why have you come?" Miss Lisha had thought someone was delivering supplies, but upon looking, it was actually Xia Xia Mala.

This Fallen Saintess drifted outside of Ang's core group. If you called her obedient, you never saw her; if you called her disobedient, she would run over to help whenever something major happened.

Miss Lisha wasn't close with her and couldn't figure out why she had come here.

"That... where is my lord?" Xia Xia Mala asked.

In this group, calling out "my lord" alone referred to Ang. If it were anyone else, they would add their name, such as Lord Ang, Lord Anthony, Lord Du Luo Ken, or Lady Miss Lisha.

"You're looking for my lord? Is something the matter?" Miss Lisha asked in return.

Xia Xia Mala fidgeted and stammered for a moment before saying, "I felt that if I came here, something good would happen."

"Heh, this place is desolate and remote, not even a ghost shadow to be found. What good could possibly happen?" Miss Lisha had just finished speaking when a wandering ghost drifted by. It infuriated Miss Lisha; she had just said there wasn't a ghost shadow, and it had come out to tear down her argument!

"Awoo!" Miss Lisha roared, carrying the power of Holy Light deterrence, scaring the ghost into scurrying away with its head in its hands.

Miss Lisha was smugly pleased.

"Are you bored or what, intimidating a little ghost? Hurry back and see, is my time up yet?" The Witch walked over with a pale face.

Her face was covered by a silk cloth, revealing only a pair of eyes. She looked like a ghost, giving Xia Xia Mala a fright.

"Eh? Luna?" The Witch's eyes swept over Xia Xia Mala, immediately catching a familiar aura.

Luna emerged from Xia Xia Mala's body and bowed respectfully, "Long time no see, Lady Witch."

The Witch was stunned. She looked hesitantly at Miss Lisha and asked, "Can I hit her?"

"Hit what? She's one of our own," Miss Lisha said.

The Witch distressfully tugged at her hair, "What on earth happened outside while I was gone? The Supreme Holy Spirit, how did the Supreme Holy Spirit also become one of our own?"

Miss Lisha said, "Don't pull, if you pull any more, it'll fall out. The Little Sapling isn't here, so it won't grow back."

The Witch's whole body stiffened, and she gently let go with both hands.

"Why think about all that? It's been twenty minutes, time is up. Come, I'll wash it off for you, then do some pore-shrinking care." Miss Lisha beckoned with her palm.

The Witch trotted over after her.

Xia Xia Mala and Luna looked at each other. After thinking for a moment, they re-armored together and followed as well.

A luxurious tent had already been set up beside the farm. Pulling back the canvas and walking in, one first felt a curtain of air. Passing through it, they entered the tent, which had no air inside.

Xia Xia Mala was somewhat unaccustomed to it and held her breath, asking with her will, "Why is there no air?"

The Witch replied, "Oh, we don't need to breathe air, so we don't have any. By the way, I just read an article recently. It turns out there's a substance in the air that makes skin more active. Contact with it makes skin very active, but if it's too active, it easily ages. So, air makes skin age; it's better without it. Can you adapt? If not, just pull down the air curtain."

Xia Xia Mala blinked in confusion, retreated outside, took a deep breath, and then came back in, "It's fine, no problem, I can adapt."

Miss Lisha pressed the Witch into a chair and asked suspiciously, "What kind of messy knowledge is this? Where did you see it?"

The Witch pointed to the side, "It's those miscellaneous magazines you brought. Beauty City Rejuvenation Magazine, issue 192, discussing the relationship between air and beauty. Author: Star Academy Air-type Arcane Mage X-X-X. Haven't you read it?"

"There's an article like that? I haven't read it. Where would I find the time? I'm busy to death all day. But an author from Star Academy, the credibility is quite high. No wonder you went to such lengths to put up the air curtain." Miss Lisha muttered, skillfully removing the mask, washing, applying lotion, and massaging it in for better absorption.

Xia Xia Mala casually picked up the magazine the Witch had just pointed to. As soon as she opened it, she saw a magical projection that made her heart race: a plump, lifelike female magical projection, wearing only two small pieces of cloth on her entire body, covering her three sensitive points respectively.

Xia Xia Mala blushed and closed it, looking left and right. Finding no one was paying attention to her, she quietly lifted it to take another look—Spring Lingerie, Air Series.

It was actually quite pretty. Xia Xia Mala wore them too, but wearing them herself was one thing, seeing someone else wear them was another.

Just as she was looking at it with great interest and preparing to pick one out, the tent flap was lifted. Ang ran in. His eyes lit up when he saw Xia Xia Mala. He ran over, grabbed her, shoved her forward, and stuffed her into a spatial rift.

He ran out again without even saying hello. By the time Miss Lisha chased after him, Ang had already returned to the side of the Black Crystal Skeleton, placed his hand on it, and his whole body stiffened.

In a flash, nothing had changed, except that Xia Xia Mala had been shoved away.

Miss Lisha muttered suspiciously, "How did my lord know Xia Xia Mala had come? Could it be that she really guessed right, that something good would happen?"

Xia Xia Mala, who had been shoved over, stood up with a blank face, discovering that she was surrounded by people, some she knew and some she didn't. Everyone's gaze fell on her hands, where she was holding an open magazine, the open page being exactly the lingerie advertisement.

Everyone's suspicious gazes darted between the magazine and Xia Xia Mala's face. Xia Xia Mala's face instantly turned red to the back of her neck. She said shyly, "This... this... this isn't mine..."

Lu Se said loudly, "I know, I've seen it at my Grandma Miss Lisha's place. It's Grandma Miss Lisha's."

Xia Xia Mala let out a long breath. For the first time, she felt Lu Se looked so pleasing to the eye. Thank you, Lu Se; otherwise, she would have to find a crack in the ground to crawl into and never come out again.

With a forceful squeeze, black Holy Flames ignited on her hand, turning the magazine into ashes.

"Hey... I still..." Lu Se sighed regretfully. Why burn it? He hadn't even looked at it yet.

Xia Xia Mala didn't care whether he had looked or not; she just wanted to skip this topic immediately, "My lord, what did you call me over for?"

Ang scratched his head and pointed at Anthony.

"Xia Xia Mala, where did my lord run into you? How did you return so quickly?" Anthony asked with a smile.

"At the end of the Eternal Road, at Lady Miss Lisha's place," Xia Xia Mala replied.

"Then why did you go to Miss Lisha's place for no reason?" Anthony asked.

Xia Xia Mala said embarrassedly, "I felt that something good would happen."

"This should be what that voice in your heart told you, right? Have you ever thought about what kind of existence that voice in your heart is?" Anthony asked.

Xia Xia Mala blinked, her face blank.

Only then did Anthony turn to everyone, "Xia Xia Mala didn't realize it, and Ge Lei didn't realize it either. They both treated this voice as another self, just that Xia Xia Mala's is a bit more peaceful, and Ge Lei's is a bit more irritable. But without a doubt, they are both—God Spirits."

Nai Ge Li Si frowned with a solemn expression and asked, "What is a God Spirit?"

Everyone had been prepared to listen to its explanation, but now they were all left dumbfounded.

"I don't know. A God is a God, a Spirit is a Spirit. Isn't calling them God Spirits just putting the two words together?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

Anthony shook his head, "You can think of it as a God-level consciousness without a Godhead. During ancient totem worship, totems couldn't bear a Godhead, so they only gave birth to a simple consciousness. This is the origin of God Spirits. In fact, Xia Xia Mala is already a demigod. As long as you give her a Godhead, she can become a god at any time."

Ang nodded, took out the Brass Book, and pulled out a blank Godhead to hand to Xia Xia Mala.

Xia Xia Mala took it, feeling bewildered.

Ang walked to Ge Lei's side, took out another blank Godhead, and looked at Anthony.

Anthony quietly made a gesture, then said loudly, "No need. She's not one of our people. A Godhead is such a precious thing; bestowing it upon her would be a waste."

Ge Lei, who had fainted on the ground, suddenly flipped over and knelt, opening her blood-red eyes. With an indifferent expression, she said, "I am willing to serve you as my master, please bestow a Godhead upon me." As she finished speaking, a mark appeared directly on her forehead.

So she had been awake the whole time, but the one awake wasn't Ge Lei, but another consciousness.

Anthony also knew she was awake, and even let her be awake on purpose. Seeing her be so sensible, Anthony nodded to Ang, "Although we could erase this consciousness and let Ge Lei return to normal, that would be too wasteful. My lord, accept her."

Anthony's words made this "Ge Lei" tremble, and she hurriedly lowered her head. She probably guessed this would be the consequence, which is why she was so sensible. Both times she erupted, she was suppressed by Ang; she had no ability to resist at all.

Ang nodded, put away the mark, and shoved the Godhead to "her."

"Ge Lei's" expression was indifferent, but her trembling hands exposed her true inner feelings. Holding the Godhead, she slowly pressed it into her chest.

The Godhead merged into Ge Lei's body, and then the blood-red color in her eyes slowly faded. Finally, her head tilted, and she fainted again.

Anthony stepped forward, performed a ritual, and pressed his hand on her temple with Holy Light. Ge Lei woke up in a daze. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw the two heads on her body and hurriedly covered them in fright.

"Do you still remember what happened?" Anthony asked kindly.

Ge Lei frowned and thought for a while, remembering what happened before she fainted, and said angrily, "You scolded me."

She even remembered the content of Anthony's scolding, but strangely, the other self inside her, which would have made her very irritable at such scolding, didn't react at all?

Anthony pressed on her temple, muttered for a while, let her go, and then asked, "Do you still remember what happened?"

Ge Lei thought in a daze for a while and said hesitantly, "You said I was too thin and told me to eat more? Thank you for your concern."

Anthony smiled kindly, "You're welcome, may the Holy Light bless you."

The rest of the people felt a wave of toothache watching this. Lu Se couldn't help but mutter, "Lord Anthony's move is too perverted. If he were to have an affair and get caught by the husband, he could still wash himself clean as being there to deliver water."

Everyone's gaze turned to Lu Se.

Lu Se asked in confusion, "Why are you looking at me?"

Du Luo Ken spread his hands, "The only one here who would have a wife is you. You'd better be careful."

Lu Se opened his mouth, unable to refute.

Nai Ge Li Si changed the subject, "Let's disperse, let's disperse. Du Luo Ken, come and dismantle it to see. The Black Smoke Circle said there are good things in this flying car. You dismantle it and see what good things they are."

"Black Smoke Circle?" Du Luo Ken hadn't followed them over, so he didn't know the Lord of Terror had changed his name.

"It's the volcanic ash, the Lord of Terror."

"Oh, oh, oh." Du Luo Ken made a few sounds, dismantled the bottom of the flying car, and pulled out a crystal the size of a watermelon, "A flame crystal core, just this? A good thing?"

"Does it count as a good thing?" Nai Ge Li Si asked.

"I suppose so. Flame constructs can use it. A piece this big can build a six-meter-tall construct, but I prefer using Soul Fire as the core," Du Luo Ken said.

"Are there any other uses?" Nai Ge Li Si asked, frowning. What would they need so many constructs for? Could they be stronger than Pa Te Xi? Could they be stronger than the Guardian Emperor?

Du Luo Ken thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Cooking rice?"

After discussing for a long time, they couldn't think of any good uses, so they had to stuff it back into the flying car. It seemed that the good things in the eyes of this Lord of Terror couldn't enter everyone's eyes.

Everyone went about their own business, leaving only Xia Xia Mala standing there holding a blank Godhead, at a loss, "I... I... where do I live tonight?"

There was no housekeeper-type figure like Miss Lisha here, so naturally, no one cared about her food, clothing, or shelter. However, she was used to it. She found a rock crevice at random and discovered that a fifty-meter-long golden "big lizard" was already coiled inside. Sensing her walking over, it was staring at her.

"Do you snore?" Xia Xia Mala asked.

Duo Luo Ke was stunned, blinked, and felt a bit confused. Was this asking it?

Duo Luo Ke shook its head.

"Then move aside, you've taken up the cleanest place here," Xia Xia Mala said, pushing it as she spoke.

Duo Luo Ke only felt a great force surging over, pushing it to move aside involuntarily, revealing a piece of clean rock slab.

Ku Ba Da, are all the guys under my lord's command such perverts? Even if I grow wings, it seems I won't have any advantage.

Xia Xia Mala rummaged through her spatial bag for some bedding and sleeping bags, spread them out, sat cross-legged on them, and looked blankly at the blank Godhead in her hand.

Luna poked a head out from her back, looked at the Godhead, and said, "This is a blank Godhead, there is no consciousness inside, which is the Spirit Anthony spoke of. This kind of thing is very precious. It can allow a consciousness to directly become a god, possessing the ability to receive faith. He just gave it to us like this?"

"Yeah, he just gave it to me like this?" Xia Xia Mala also found it hard to believe.

"You lucky dog, becoming a god in one step, without even needing to light the fire of faith, nor needing to accept the test of divine fire." Luna couldn't help but feel jealous.

"This must be the good thing that was going to happen. Because I am firm and pious, that's why good things happen. Anyway, I am already Lord Ang's Saintess. After becoming a god, I will still be my lord's Saintess," Xia Xia Mala said piously, slowly pressing the Godhead into her body.

I don't know how much time passed, but God-level Saintess Xia Xia Mala woke up from her slumber. A golden light flashed across her eyes, and a mark appeared in her pupils, flickering once before fading away.

Anthony walked over, clapping his hands and shouting, "Move, move, everyone move out! Ge Lei told me last night that in this year's Mage Assembly, it's very likely that a magical instrument or accessory that can change the situation will appear, something that can break the Silence Barrier."

"We are going to participate in the Mage Assembly to see what it is. If it really can break the Silence Barrier, we must snatch it into our hands." ===== CHAPTER 478 =====
