Life Is Like a Fleeting Dewdrop

This also perfectly aligns with the Eagle Country's slogan of loving nature.

"Please let me join you!"

Ling Yuan looked at the blonde girl in front of him with a headache.

How did you find me?

"I heard it from the waiter at the Adventurers' Tavern."

"Sorry, I don't have any plans to form a team at the moment," Ling Yuan said directly.

After saying that, he took Xiao Li's hand and left without looking back.

"Mr. Zhongli, wait for me!"

The blonde girl ran up to Ling Yuan and said firmly, "At the very least, let me treat you to a meal!"

"No, we..."

"Gurgle~"

At that moment, Xiao Li's stomach started growling in perfect unison.

Ling Yuan: "..."

"Hehe, brother, I'm hungry." Xiao Li scratched her head shyly.

"Well."

He sighed helplessly and looked at the girl, "Location."

The blonde girl's eyes lit up. "Please come with me!"

Chapter 536 Life is as fleeting as a bubble in the white dew.

"Hiccup~"

After eating and drinking her fill, Xiao Li leaned back in her chair, patted her lower abdomen with both hands, and let out a burp.

Although the world is set in a manner similar to the Western Middle Ages, the 'mystery' or 'magical' blessing makes the extracted seasonings almost comparable to those produced using modern techniques.

Thank you for your hospitality.

Ling Yuan put down his knife and fork and said to the blonde girl.

His manners were elegant, more like aristocrats than nobles themselves.

"Mr. Zhongli, are you really not going to reconsider? I can grant you any request," the blonde girl asked again, still unwilling to give up.

Ling Yuan smiled warmly and refused without even thinking.

He was never a person of this world, destined to leave, and was completely different from the adventurers the blonde girl knew.

Although somewhat disappointed, the girl respected Ling Yuan's choice.

After the three said their goodbyes, Ling Yuan took Xiao Li back home.

These few days will be used as an opportunity to take Xiao Li out for a trip and experience the Western fantasy world.

To be honest, Ling Yuan's favorite anime used to be isekai (another world) anime.

[July New Anime: "Uncle from Another World" The story is about an uncle who is hit by a car and transported to another world. He stays in that other world for 17 years and then returns with magical abilities.]

Uncle here, I love isekai the most! (//?//)

With the teleportation through the Imaginary Space, the two returned to Earth.

This world expedition was a failure.

"To become the master of the world, I wonder if the 'world' will give me that opportunity..."

Looking at the dormant World Embryo in the System Space, Ling Yuan looked up at the sky expectantly.

In his mind, the World Will regarding cerebral palsy would be better off kicking the bucket so he could seize it.

Ling Yuan glanced at the time on the system and realized that he and Xiao Li had been here for ten days.

"It's time to go back..." Ling Yuan murmured.

He has already accomplished his purpose in coming here.

He shouldn't interfere too much in historical matters, lest it cause a chain reaction.

Ling Yuan, wanting to see how Flame Nation had developed recently, took out his phone.

They easily cracked the satellite signal and password, and began browsing the information in the archives.

The system from 500 years in the future couldn't stump Ling Yuan, let alone the one from 500 years ago.

In Ling Yuan's eyes, it was full of loopholes.

If it weren't for the fear that others wouldn't understand the optimization, Ling Yuan would have been prepared to give the satellite a major upgrade.

"The development of Flame Nation has gotten on track, hmm? Has it already awakened to the second stage?"

Ling Yuan was slightly surprised when he saw this.

To be honest, this speed is a bit fast.

It took Wang Ming a month to advance to the Void Flame King level.

As expected of the first one, right?

Wang Lin's Contract Beast awakens into the Great Void Flame Dragon, and the next stage is the Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon.

The Sacred Ancient Flame Dragon belongs to the level of mythical beasts, with the weakest being around the Seventh Order.

At that time, the Flame Nation will be able to truly protect itself.

According to data, tens of thousands of people across the Flame Nation have now participated in the contract summoning.

If there weren't only one summoning array, many more people would definitely have obtained Contract Beast.

While seeing the Flame Nation contract data, Ling Yuan also saw another piece of confidential information.

It belongs to Britain.

"The Britain Saintess Lia Pendragon and the Sun Knight Gawain joined forces to kill eight demon generals. (They may have received help from the God of Contracts, Zhongli.)"

"It seems it can be removed; that's what I helped with," Ling Yuan said.

The report indicates that although several demon generals were killed, Lia and Gawain were severely injured.

I am still unable to get out of bed.

Britain Flame Nation only has two weapons that can be used to control it.

Therefore, after the two lay down, Britain basically returned to its original state. Fortunately, with the support of the Flame Nation's special monitoring team, large-scale casualties were avoided.

However, it doesn't work as well in other countries.

The demon general appeared and immediately began the cleansing campaign, instantly annihilating those small, struggling nations.

Furthermore, the world has relaxed the limits on the Otherworldly Gate, resulting in all countries except Flame Nation suffering heavy losses or even devastating blows.

Many people have even started living underground.

Only the Shenzhou Jade Shield, is like Gensokyo.

"The arrival of the myth is estimated to be in the near future," Ling Yuan said.

If the number of living beings continues to dwindle, the World Will will truly be doomed.

The strength of the World Will is entirely determined by the number of living beings.

It's estimated that less than one-fifth of humanity remains in the world by now. If the numbers continue to decline, there will truly be no way to contend with the Demon Realm.

"YYY, this is the first time I've ever seen such a brain-dead world."

He muttered a complaint and tossed his phone into the System Space: "Xiao Li, let's go back to Flame Nation and take a look."

Okay.

The Imaginary Space opened, and the two walked in hand in hand.

When they reappeared, they had already arrived in Tianmang City.

Ling Yuan still pays close attention to the city where he lives.

"Um?"

The moment the two emerged from the Imaginary Space, they found many soldiers watching them warily with guns at the ready.

Clearly, these soldiers mistook the Imaginary Space for a spatial rift.

Ling Yuan's expression remained unchanged.

Firearms can do zero damage to him.

Given his God Slayer nature, not even a gun, let alone a nuclear bomb aimed at his head, could harm him in the slightest.

Just like Avalon, it's not in the same dimension, so the laws of physics simply don't apply to it.

"Mr. Zhongli?!"

At that moment, a surprised exclamation rang out.

Ling Yuan looked over and saw a man walking out of the crowd. He looked at Ling Yuan in disbelief.

"Put down your weapons and continue your patrol."

As soon as the man finished speaking, the soldiers put down their rifles and left in an orderly fashion.

Ling Yuan remembered him.

One of the dozen or so people who had previously awakened their contracts.

"Mr. Zhongli, what brings you here?" Zhang Wei asked, puzzled.

Ling Yuan looked at Tianmang City, which was under reconstruction, and said, "Let's see how Flame Nation is recovering."

"Thanks to your help, the demons in various regions have now been basically driven out of the border. With the added blessing of your formation, the demons simply cannot get in," Zhang Wei said gratefully.

"The Jade Barrier Shield can only last for a maximum of ten years. During this time, you need to work hard to become stronger," Ling Yuan said calmly.

Zhang Wei's expression turned serious. "Flame Nation will certainly not let Mr. Zhongli down!"

"Um."

Ling Yuan nodded, then turned around with Xiao Li in his hand.

Seeing Ling Yuan's actions, Zhang Wei was taken aback. "Are you leaving so soon?"

"Now that this matter is settled, it's time to leave."

"Will you come back?" Zhang Wei asked nervously.

Ling Yuan gave him the strength to protect his family and home, so Zhang Wei admired Ling Yuan from the bottom of his heart.

Ling Yuan chuckled softly, "The wind will change direction, and one day it will blow towards a brighter place."

"For now, let's live a little more at ease, with my blessings in mind."

After they finished speaking, golden light shone from the two of them and vanished in front of Zhang Wei in the blink of an eye.

"Mr. Zhongli..."

Zhang Wei stood there, staring blankly at the spot where Ling Yuan had left.

"Brother, aren't we going back?"

Looking at the mountain range in front of her, Xiao Li asked.

There's another place that's on my mind.

Ling Yuan patted Xiao Li's head and looked at the mountains in front of him.

Kunlun Mountain

This is the second point of contention for Ling Yuan during this trip.

Where did the Crimson Moonspear standing in the Di Kunlun come from?
