Qin Luming finally understood why Zuozuo and Caicai always said not to mention their affairs in the other world too much, as it might alert certain powers from that world to their whereabouts and bring danger.
The ones they feared were the rulers of the Divine Kingdom, represented by Fairy Jiang, right? After all, Zuozuo and Caicai felt no loyalty to the Divine Kingdom and even cherished their tribes more. On the battlefield, they didn't care about the fighting and simply ran away.
Battles often turn into large-scale routs due to a small group's rebellion, defection, and escape. Therefore, Zuozuo and Caicai, as legion leaders, were well aware of the gravity of their actions when they fled at a critical moment. After returning to Qin Luming's side, they never mentioned it again, lest they cause divine particle fluctuations between the two worlds. Such fluctuations, if detected by Fairy Jiang, would certainly not be a trivial matter.
Now, the main force and supreme commander of the battlefield had encountered the runaway minor legion leaders.
"You still won the final war, right?" Qin Luming asked, hugging the two deserters with a concerned expression to show his apology.
This Divine Kingdom could still be attacked. It seemed that the Divine Kingdom was not some kind of heaven, celestial realm, or paradise... Or perhaps not. Demons and fallen angels also attacked heaven, and Sun Wukong once wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.
When Fairy Jiang descended, she had also mentioned that the Divine Kingdom would face some attacks.
"That was the first war I faced since I re-ascended to the position of God King, how could I possibly fail? Even though I didn't have the Pure Grace Divine Bow in hand at the time, nor the primordial divine particle ball, the enemy only had less than a hundred top powerhouses. After I annihilated them, the remaining enemy forces were nothing but weaklings," Fairy Jiang said with a hint of pride.
"It's good that you won... Let's just let the matter of Zuozuo and Caicai go. They don't have a sense of belonging to the Divine Kingdom. Besides, they are still young and were terrified enough just by being on the battlefield," Qin Luming pleaded for Zuozuo and Caicai. As an ordinary person who lived a comfortable life, he was most grateful for peace and had a natural aversion to war. Thinking of the two girls running and fleeing in such a bloody and cruel environment made Qin Luming feel very distressed.
If he himself faced war and needed to stand up to defend his country, there would be nothing more to say... This country was his last refuge. When war descended, there would be nowhere to retreat, only to face it head-on. But Zuozuo and Caicai were different; they were just transmigrators and had no such feelings for the Divine Kingdom.
Sensing Qin Luming's pity, Zuozuo and Caicai looked at Fairy Jiang opposite them, pouted, and hugged Qin Luming tightly.
Fairy Jiang frowned slightly and said coldly, "I'll let you off for now... But don't think this means I'm not holding a grudge. When I eradicate Zhou Kingdom's strongholds here, I might need your help. I hope you can redeem yourselves then and not desert again."
"No problem," Qin Luming quickly agreed. Since it involved eradicating Zhou Kingdom's strongholds, it meant Qin Luming could personally participate, and Zuozuo and Caicai wouldn't have to face danger directly. In Qin Luming's heart, no matter how powerful these two little girls were, they still appeared weak and helpless.
"You might not be able to beat us right now either," Caicai observed carefully, glancing at Fairy Jiang's staff. "If you don't use that thing."
"What is that thing?" Zuozuo asked.
"I don't know. If the power inside explodes, I don't think even the barrier I created could withstand it," Caicai said worriedly.
"Then we can't just provoke her."
"Yeah."
"I wonder if she'll steal our food."
"She definitely likes meat as much as you do."
"Maybe she only eats grass."
"I eat vegetables! My name is Caicai! I'm not called Grass Grass!"
"I didn't say you eat grass!"
Fairy Jiang watched Zuozuo and Caicai's nonsensical conversation and shifted her gaze to Qin Luming. "Why did such a peculiar transmigration phenomenon occur? Every cross-world transmigration is caused by previous divine particle fluctuations. Have you heard of the Divine Kingdom before? Is there someone who can strongly influence you and knows about the Divine Kingdom's existence? Or have you touched something..."
As she spoke, Fairy Jiang looked at Qin Luming's hands, and then at Zuozuo and Caicai. "It must be that you touched some life form or object from the Divine Kingdom."
Qin Luming thought carefully. Many strange things had happened to him, but this was the first time he was directly involved in an incident caused by the descent of powerful beings from another world like Fairy Jiang or Zhou Nan.
He shook his head. "I have no recollection at all, and I can't judge. Perhaps even if there was someone from the Divine Kingdom like you, or an item from the Divine Kingdom, I wouldn't be able to tell."
As for people who could strongly influence Qin Luming, they were only his mother and sister, and a few uncles and elders among his relatives and friends. They were all ordinary people, so how could they be related to the Divine Kingdom?
"If it were a life form from the Divine Kingdom, it would undoubtedly be incredibly powerful, a powerhouse on my level, indistinguishable from ordinary humans in appearance. It's normal that you can't tell. If it were an item, it would be a divine artifact," Fairy Jiang said, glancing at her staff and looking thoughtfully at Qin Luming.
"We've never seen them!" Zuozuo exclaimed loudly. "If someone like that appeared, we would definitely know!"
"Really?" Caicai questioned Zuozuo uncertainly. "We're either eating or playing. Even if someone like that appeared, would we notice?"
"If you say that, this woman won't think we're very powerful!" Zuozuo said angrily. "If she thinks we're not powerful, she might bully us in the future."
"Then you should have told me privately. Now that you've said it, even if you brag later, she won't believe you," Caicai said regretfully.
"I will never think you are very powerful," Fairy Jiang said to Zuozuo and Caicai with regret. "When the war began, I merely conscripted tribes with divine powerhouses to participate in the battle as per custom. Later, when I reviewed the records, I remembered that since the previous God King of Passionate Love, your tribe had never been conscripted in any war."
"Why? Is it because we're too powerful, and our participation would make the war have no suspense?" Zuozuo asked with a thoughtful expression.
"Why are you bragging again? We ran away as soon as the fighting started!" Caicai reminded Zuozuo.
Zuozuo could only glare angrily at Caicai, wondering why she had blurted it out again!
Qin Luming smiled. Regardless of anything else, he just found Zuozuo and Caicai adorable.
"There must be a commonality between the subject of transmigration and the target being transmigration for the phenomenon to occur. You transmigrated and were born from the fruit of the Divine Maiden Tree of the Bishou Tribe because you share a commonality with the Bishou Tribe! You are equally afraid of death, cowardly, short-sighted, and narrow-minded. You have never considered the principle that under a collapsed nest, no egg remains intact," Fairy Jiang said, getting annoyed looking at the two of them.
"Isn't it because the two of them are left and right hands, and the object of worship for the Bishou Tribe is their hands?" Qin Luming thought this was the reason. Zuozuo and Caicai were just young and ignorant, so it was natural for them to be timid and scared. Only a God King like you, who has lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years and claims to be just a little girl after rebirth, would be naturally brave, right?
"I will investigate the transmigration phenomenon on you slowly later," Fairy Jiang said, trying to calm herself down. She truly hadn't expected to meet Zuozuo and Caicai; she had encountered them during the commanders' meeting and was deeply impressed.
Just as Qin Luming was about to put in a good word for Zuozuo and Caicai again, his phone rang. It turned out his sister had arrived.
