Chapter 328

When the light faded, everything returned to tranquility, as if nothing had ever happened.

"What incredible power this is!" The abbot gazed at everything. Although he harbored doubts about Belldandy, he could still distinguish who was good and who was truly evil. And even if he couldn't tell, this almost invincible power still helped the abbot see everything clearly.

Especially when he saw the girl falling from the sky and the longsword in her hand that radiated a holy light.

He was even more certain that he had worried unnecessarily. If Belldandy were an evil entity, she wouldn't have helped him restore the temple to its current state. If the girl who fell from the sky was an evil entity like Belldandy, she wouldn't have helped him or Belldandy fight off those evil entities.

"Sigh..." The abbot sighed.

Indeed, my cultivation is still far from sufficient. Without the dazzling starry sky, I cannot know my own insignificance. I originally thought my cultivation had reached a very high level; I could see ominous things and also repel evil spirits.

However, compared to these two, his current cultivation achievements are simply insignificant.

We can neither completely renovate the temple nor exorcise so many evil spirits at once.

"As expected, there's still a long way to go," the abbot muttered to himself, then turned and went back to his room.

Meanwhile, Li Pu sheathed his Holy Sword and said, "As expected, I'm still far from it. Although this is my first time True Name Release, I'm still far from achieving this level. I'm still a bit short of truly mastering this Holy Sword."

No matter what, I am not the real Artoria, whether in terms of mindset or goals, I am far inferior.

Although he successfully True Name Release this time, it was less about him achieving True Name Release and more about the Holy Sword using this opportunity to tell him that he was still some distance away from becoming its true wielder.

It has potential and the qualifications, but it's still a bit lacking to actually hold onto it.

As for what exactly is lacking, you need to find out for yourself what your direction and goals are.

However, at least for now, it seems that this choice was not wrong. Although the system and other characters were passively sealed by Urd, I might not have reached this point without what she did.

Li Pu turned around and looked at Ying Yi and Belldandy.

I'm actually starting to look forward to this time travel.

"Yo~ I'm back."

Chapter 374 Hello Kevin

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, the abbot had already made his decision.

He made the same choice as in the anime and manga: he packed his belongings and set off on a wandering pilgrimage, vowing never to return until he succeeded. He entrusted the temple to Ying Yi...

Oh, I shouldn't say that it was handed over to Belldandy and Li Pu to manage.

As for why it was Belldandy and Li Pu?

Because he Ying Yi. Was she just an ordinary college student? Or perhaps a follower of two truly powerful cultivators? It was even possible that he considered Ying Yi as an apprentice.

In short, he didn't say anything about that, but the rest basically unfolded as the plot progressed.

"Ah~" When Li Pu woke up in the morning, he stretched and saw Belldandy, who had already prepared a Belldandy, and Ying Yi, who was dressed.

"Are you guys getting ready for school?" Li Pu rubbed her shoulders, still feeling a bit sleepy. If she remembered correctly, the next part of the story was indeed Ying Yi taking Belldandy to school.

"Yes," Belldandy said. "It's a place called a university. Is Vivian going there too? It sounds like a really great place."

"Is it really that great?" Li Pu was reluctant to complain about it; after all, he had been to university. As for whether this place was great or not, that was hard to say; it depended on the person and the school. She just wanted to complain about the education system in the Celestial Realm.

She wasn't a real Goddess of the heavens, but based on both the anime and the comics, she was quite curious about how education was conducted in the heavens.

It seems that there are teachers in the heavenly realm, but does the heavenly realm not even have a single institution of higher learning?

I only got to experience university life after coming to the human world.

However, on the other hand, Sariel was also employed in the Celestial Realm at that age, so is it really okay for the Celestial Realm to use child labor?

"I'm not going," Li Pu said, rubbing his shoulders. "I'm not really interested in university. If there's nothing else, I'd like to go back and catch up on some sleep. I used up too much energy yesterday."

Well, it's true that she's very powerful to True Name Release, but it has also brought her a heavy burden.

Clearing the area once also required a massive output of energy, and it took me a while to recover after eating, drinking, and sleeping.

Of course, it's not fully recovered yet; it's still a bit lacking.

So Li Pu didn't want to go to school at all; she just wanted to sleep a little longer.

"Hmm." Belldandy didn't try to persuade her any further, saying, "In that case, Vivian should get some rest. Ying Yi and I are going to the university first."

"Hey hey hey~" Li Pu waved her hand, yawned, and went back to her room, intending to catch up on some sleep. But just as she lay down, she seemed to hear a very jarring sound ringing out in the temple.

"Mei! My Mei!"

This wail, like that of a defeated dog, immediately made Li Pu jump out of bed.

It wasn't that she had any particular feelings towards the voice; she was completely unfamiliar with it. However, the name the voice called out felt strangely familiar to Li Pu. If she wasn't mistaken...

That voice just now seemed to be shouting...

MEI?

"MEI?" Li Pu frowned immediately. Had he misheard something? The name MEI shouldn't be here, right? Or rather, no one should be calling that name here.

And what's with that kind of wailing like a defeated dog?

Li Pu couldn't help but shudder and said, "I must be hallucinating."

The person who can call out the name MEI is far, far away from this place!

"It must be because I'm too tired and sleepy that I'm hallucinating." Li Pu lay back down and said, "So get some rest~ You really need to get some rest, you're even hallucinating!"

Hallucinations or something...

"Mei! My lovely Mei!" "You bastard! How could you be with my lovely Mei!" "Mei! My love! What's so great about this guy? Why did you abandon me to be with him? You even make him lunchboxes!"

"MEI! No! Don't abandon me! MEI!"

Hallucination... hallucination... hallucination and such...

"This can't be a hallucination!" Li Pu jumped out of bed. He had no idea what was happening outside, but that defeated dog-like wail was just too real.

It's true, and even if Li Pu wanted to deny it, it would be very difficult.

So...

What on earth is going on? There shouldn't be anyone in this world who would call out the name MEI, right? Could it be someone from that other world? But that can't be right. Does someone in that world possess the technology to travel between worlds?

Hmm... it seems so. SU should have this technology, right?

But SU probably wouldn't let out such a wail, right?

"Thump thump thump~" A series of sounds of rummaging through beds and cabinets made it seem like things were getting even more chaotic outside.

"How could this be! Mei! Don't you recognize me?" "Oh! Heavens! Why is this happening? Mei, please don't forget me! How long have I waited to see you! Do you know? You are the only one in my life! My one and only true love."

"Without you, this world means nothing to me! Please don't forget me, Mei! My love!"

It was that voice again, that mournful howl of a defeated dog filled with sincerity and sorrow. This time, no matter how much Li Pu wanted to deny it, he couldn't.

Could it be... that this is the work of the gods or Urd again?

Did she capture someone from another world... not the world she came from? She keeps calling me "Mei"... Oh, right, she seems quite familiar with "Mei."

Although I am also very curious about MEI, I believe that only by learning more about MEI can I improve my knowledge of MEI.

But having acquired such a guy, Li Pu felt he was in for a rough time.

"MEI! My MEI!"

It was that same pathetic wail again. Li Pu, utterly speechless, got out of bed. It seemed that if he didn't step in, that loudmouth was probably going to tear the entire temple down.

Moreover, she could even imagine what was happening outside.

I reckon it's because of the character he was using; he must have confused himself with Belldandy.

If things continue at this pace, Ying Yi is likely to be in trouble.

"Sigh... it seems..."

"We've got some serious trouble!"

Chapter 375 My MEI

"Mr. Kevin ~" "Ying Yi- san!"

Seele clung tightly to Kevin, constantly worried he might do something rash. Seele had observed countless World Bubble, but she didn't know much about this one. However, she knew the person before her was the Goddess of this World Bubble! If he did something drastic, their journey in this world would likely be over.

"This isn't Mei, this is Belldandy!" Seele said, clinging tightly to Kevin. "She's Mei's older sister in this world."

"Mr. Kevin, please calm down! Calm down!"

Calm down, you absolutely must calm down!

Across from Seele Belldandy was also holding Ying Yi, who had been knocked unconscious by Kevin's punch. She wasn't quite sure what was going on. She'd only just seen this white-haired man suddenly seem to have lost control, repeatedly shouting "Mei!" and then, as if he'd misunderstood something, become unusually agitated, punching Ying Yi unconscious. This left Belldandy at a loss; she could sense that this man meant no harm and didn't seem like a bad person.

He did this simply because of his obsession with a person named MEI. It was because of this obsession that Mr. Ying Yi suffered such an undeserved disaster.

But she couldn't do anything; as Goddess, she couldn't act rashly against others. Especially not someone who didn't truly harbor ill intentions, but was merely acting impulsively due to their own obsession and was still confused. She couldn't lay a hand on such a person.

"Sir, please calm down," Belldandy earnestly advised. "I am not the MEI you are looking for."

"I think the person he's looking for is me."

Li Pu finally arrived, though he hadn't wanted to come at all. Just from his voice, he knew this was troublesome, but if he didn't show up, things would only get worse. So, he couldn't keep hiding any longer. And the moment he stepped out, he witnessed this utterly ridiculous scene.

"You..." Li Pu carefully examined the white-haired man who seemed to have quieted down and said, "You're Kevin, right?"

Although Li Pu didn't know much about MEI, he did know a little about the character Kevin. Kevin was a character who appeared later in the story, and he was connected to Kiana, Siegfried, and others.

Moreover, he is also the leader of the World Serpent, so Li Pu knows a little about the character Kevin.

Furthermore, Mei's knowledge level had increased significantly, and she had seen some of Mei's memories, so Li Pu wasn't entirely unaware of the character Kevin. Therefore, after only a couple of glances, she recognized the person wailing like a defeated dog as Kevin.

"MEI?"

Kevin glanced at Li Pu and then at Belldandy, his gaze shifting back and forth between Belldandy Li Pu for a long time.

"My lovely Mei has become two!" Kevin exclaimed instead of answering Li Pu's question. "Is this the legendary double happiness and joy?"

"Mei! My Mei! So many years! I finally... Waaaaaah~"

Kevin broke free from Seele and pounced on Li Pu, only to be stomped on the face and pushed away by Lip.

"I don't know if it will bring double the joy and happiness." Li Pu said with a look of disgust, "Belldandy, do you have any way to get Kevin to sleep for a while? I have a feeling that if this guy doesn't get some sleep, he might go crazy."

"Huh?" Belldandy asked, somewhat hesitantly, "Is this alright?"

"Don't worry, this Kevin isn't an ordinary human." Li Pu shrugged and said, "If it were up to me, I'd probably have to use physical means to put him to sleep. But if I really had to use physical means, that would be too bad, wouldn't it?"

Kevin is clearly beyond saving now. From some fragments of Mei's memories, Li Pu knows that Mei and Kevin's relationship is not ordinary. Judging from his current behavior, to put it nicely, he is blinded by joy; to put it bluntly, it is the prelude to losing his mind.

Regardless of Kevin's future value or the value brought by his special relationship with MEI, Li Pu didn't really want this guy to have gone completely insane.

Seeing that Belldandy was still hesitating, Li Pu added fuel to the fire, saying, "If Kevin doesn't calm down, I reckon he'll keep targeting Ying Yi."

"Ying Yi is just an ordinary person, while Kevin's combat power is no weaker than any martial god," Li Pu said. "If we can't calm Kevin down, you don't want to see Ying Yi living under serious threat, do you?"

Belldandy looked at Ying Yi in her arms, feeling somewhat guilty towards Mr. Kevin. But Ying Yi was indeed very important, and she had to do something to calm Kevin down. Otherwise, things might really turn out as Vivian had said.

"I understand." Belldandy placed a hand on Kevin's head and said, "Excuse me, sir, please get some rest."

As soon as she finished speaking, a bright light emanated from Belldandy's hand, and then Kevin, who was restless and had been trampled under Li Pu's feet, finally calmed down and fell into a deep sleep.

"This is such a hassle..."

Seeing that Kevin had finally fallen asleep, Li Pu relaxed and said to Seele, who had been helping him hold Kevin, "You look like Seele, Seele Vollerei, right?"

Seele Vollerei. Li Pu knew her because she was a Valkyrie that could be obtained through gacha pulls later in the game; at least before Li Pu's transmigration, she had pulled Seele. Although her knowledge of her wasn't very in-depth, she did know a brief biography of Seele.

Seele Vollerei and Bronya were both orphans adopted by Cocolia.

Cocolia for now, as for Seele, Li Pu knew she and Bronya were close friends, their relationship quite special. She was accidentally transported to the Sea of Quantum during an experiment led by Cocolia. Of course, these aren't the important issues.

Seele seems like a naive and timid character.

But as the saying goes, the inside of a pink jelly is black, which seems to be an unexpected effect of Cocolia's experiment.

Seele awakened her second personality.

This second personality isn't some airhead or a pushover, so seeing Seele here, Li Pu has a feeling that Kevin's appearance in this world couldn't possibly be the work of Urd or the Lord God; it's most likely related to Seele's second personality.

"Sister knows me?" Seele asked in surprise.

She thought Li Pu didn't know her.
