Chapter 40 [Memory] Fu Li
Chapter 40 [Memory] Fu Li
“You just made a move, and the aura of abundance leaked out, so the hunters came following the scent.”
"So, you knew all along? Then why did you send me to fight the monsters ahead?" A thumbs-up symbol appeared above Eve's head.
"Oh dear, this was just a test, who knew Lan would just unleash a Cloud Piercing Arrow?" Black Tower said helplessly.
"Sigh, what about that mask that just appeared?" Eve remembered the thing that had made her laugh as soon as it appeared.
It's strange, even though I didn't mean to laugh, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
“That is the Star God of Pleasure, Aha.”
At that moment, Eve suddenly called out to her, "Wait, I can understand hunting and abundance, but what does this pleasure... mean?"
"It's exactly what it sounds like," Black Tower said nonchalantly.
"The literal meaning? So, it means a star god who's looking for fun?" Eve frowned, hesitatingly asking.
"Yes, wherever there is fun, there will be Him."
"I didn't expect Him to show up. Could it be that He finds hunting and killing the bountiful ones to be a great pleasure?"
"So, He thought that if the bounty was so easily killed by the hunters, the fun would be over? That's why He stepped in to help you?" Black Tower pondered.
“No… I think He must have realized that I am not truly the God of Abundance,” Eve said earnestly.
She suddenly remembered what Aha had said before he disappeared.
The bountiful rice stalks float on the water; we can't let the hunters succeed too soon, otherwise... hahaha, there won't be any fun.
Mature, plump rice ears will sink in water, while only hollow rice ears that are merely superficial will float on the surface.
Therefore, this statement means that Aha has discovered that she is not the true Goddess of Abundance.
"Huh? How is this possible?" Black Tower asked in confusion. "Never mind, you should end the test first."
"I'm worried you'll get shot to death by another arrow that pierces the clouds," Black Tower said with some regret.
Although this test brought out the Star God, it did not provide any substantial help to the research.
After Black Tower finished speaking, Eve's surroundings changed again, but she did not return to the dark universe.
"Huh? What's going on?" Eve asked, puzzled.
It seems that the simulated universe is not over yet.
At this moment, Eve's surroundings suddenly turned cold, and a blurry figure appeared before her. His body was made of fragments of mirrors, and his features were repeatedly refracted into a mystery by prisms. Countless memories surged before her eyes.
"This is......?"
Before Eve could react, a small and cute figure suddenly appeared in front of her—it was Narcida.
"Narcissus!" Eve's pupils constricted, and she called out instinctively.
But the next moment, Narcida's body was pulled and deformed, and her smile was mixed together, turning into water droplets that fell at Eve's feet.
"What's going on?" Eve asked, puzzled.
The next second, the water droplet bloomed again, flashing through many images.
Ying, Paimon, Wendy, Zhongli, Kurumi, Shadow, Alheimer... and Nasita...
Eve realized at that moment that these were all her memories.
The reflection in the mirror before her spoke: "White robes float, enveloping the heartwood of the ancient tree; threads of governance or Herrscher memories and dreams swirl and intertwine, weaving into a green ocean..."
Eve listened to these words, each one connected to the next, as if whispering.
But before Eve could ask anything, the reflection in the mirror had already vanished.
At this moment, the surrounding scenery changed again to the space station.
Black Tower's shocked voice rang out, "It worked! I didn't expect Fu Li to actually talk to you!"
"This is even better than I imagined. Fuli is of great help to our research because He possesses the memories of everyone and knows second only to the All-Knowing One!"
“Fu Li?” Eve asked, puzzled.
"That's the Star God of Memory. You should have heard of the forces that worship Him, namely the 'Radiant Memory Court.' They're the ones who developed the Light Cone."
"Eve, I knew it was the right decision to come to you. Your test has given me a lot of inspiration. I need to study the upgrade and transformation plan for the simulated universe first!" Black Tower was very excited at this moment.
"Once the first draft of the plan is completed, I will contact you again to discuss it together."
After Black Tower finished speaking, Eve's consciousness exited the simulated universe.
"Eve? Sister Eve? Eve..."
As soon as Eve stepped out, she felt her body being violently shaken.
March 7th was calling Eve's name while frantically shaking Eve.
"What's wrong, Little March?" Eve asked, covering her head.
Having just faced three Star Gods in a simulated universe, Eve is still somewhat disoriented.
"You just clicked the link Black Tower sent you, and then suddenly, 'whoosh,' you went completely unresponsive. No matter how much I call you, you don't respond!"
"Hmph, I was even thinking of seeing what a simulated universe was... but Eve, you actually played with it by yourself in secret!!!" March 7th said angrily, puffing out her cheeks.
Eve shook her head and sighed, "No, Little March, I don't think you'll like this..."
As she recalled the sharp arrow from [Hunting], she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
Unlike the first time he met the Venerable Master Boshi, the arrow that flew carried pure hatred and murderous intent.
Eve muttered to herself, "The Star God is indeed an extremely powerful being..."
"Huh? Eve, what are you talking about?" March 7 asked, puzzled.
Eve shook her head. "It's nothing."
Just then, her phone rang again. Eve glanced at it and saw that it was a message from Himeko.
[Himeko]: The train has been inspected and repaired.
[Himeko]: Now that you and Mitsuki have finished your tour, go straight back to the train.
