Chapter 2628 / Chapter 2629
Upon hearing this, Taiyi paused for a moment, then suddenly sighed.
"What's wrong? Why are you sighing all of a sudden?" Chen Li asked curiously.
"... That guy had better really been helping me renew my Resurrection Card on Sunday." Taiyi's tone carried a hint of subtle suspicion.
Taiyi suspected that the Robin only said "me and my brother" to avoid embarrassing Sunday in front of Taiyi. As for whether Sunday actually helped renew the card... Taiyi couldn't say.
However, Taiyi did not pursue the matter further. Instead, he shifted his gaze from the Robin to Celenova, who was still sitting next to the Robin.
The Gemini of Order. Sunday chose Order, Robin chose Harmony...
Gemini, who are inherently Order, should belong to the realm of Order!
Thinking of this, Taiyi's gaze toward Celenova suddenly turned somewhat unfriendly.
Xipe is truly despicable.
Noticing Taiyi's gaze, which held a hint of resentment, Celenova slowly turned her head. Her clear eyes met Taiyi's for a moment, and then she blinked.
That wink seemed utterly innocent, but if you looked closely, you'd notice that the corners of Celenova's mouth were slightly upturned... It was a rather restrained, polite, even elegant provocation.
The implication couldn't be clearer: the battle between Geminis has always been like this! Hurry, or you'll miss out!
Of course it's the French Ring!

"Oh? What happened? What are you all talking about?" Yao Guang walked over and immediately noticed the subtle, almost Sparkle, confrontation between Taiyi and Celenova. He asked with some curiosity.
Chapter ID: 114976980
"Oh? What happened? What are you all talking about?" Yao Guang walked over and immediately noticed the subtle, almost Sparkle, confrontation between Taiyi and Celenova. He asked with some curiosity.
"It's nothing, just an interview with Taiyi for his evaluation of my newly created Miraculous Item," Chen Li replied casually, lying on the Robin's lap.
Yao Guang glanced at Chen Li's current posture, then looked at Taiyi, who was grinding his teeth opposite him, and Celenova, who was smiling. He roughly guessed what had just happened.
Then Yao Guang's gaze returned to Chen Li, a slight smile playing on his lips, a hint of resentment appearing in his eyes.
"I was over there, painstakingly working with my junior sister to deduce the course of the Holy Grail War, without even a moment to drink tea. You, on the other hand, were enjoying yourself, reclining on a beauty's lap, and casually finished interviewing the Aeon about the Miraculous Item's evaluation. You really don't care about me, this poor heavenly general who was married off to you, at all." Yao Guang sighed, her tone perfectly conveying her grievance.
Upon Robin the words "drunk and reclining on a beauty's lap," the robin's blush deepened.
Fu Xuan, who was walking behind Yao Guang, suddenly stopped in his tracks after hearing Yao Guang's words.
"Wait... aren't I the one who's supposed to be married off to the Miraculous Forger?" Fu Xuan paused for a moment, then asked uncertainly.
"Junior sister, what are you saying? You're not Lord of the Hunt's Seven Generals." Yao Guang turned around and looked at Fu Xuan with a smile.
Senior Sister!
Chapter 2628
Fu Xuan's brows furrowed instantly, and he glared at Yao Guang with some displeasure.
"But I clearly gave you a chance, Junior Sister. It's just that you didn't seize it. The struggle for marriage alliances has always been like this." Yao Guang sighed and shook his head with a regretful expression.
"Senior Sister!" Fu Xuan protested, raising his hand.
"Alright, alright, I was just teasing you." Yao Guang smiled and reached out to ruffle Fu Xuan's hair.
You're kidding. Even if you become one of the Lord of the Hunt's Seven Generals, you still won't be able to arrange a marriage.
Junior sister, you're so easy to fool.
"That's more like it. Don't touch my head!" Fu Xuan's expression softened slightly, but then he angrily reached out and blocked Yao Guang's hand.
"Why? Are you afraid you won't grow tall enough? I didn't expect Junior Sister to care about these things. Besides, I think Chen Li might like you more the way you are now." Yao Guang tilted her head with interest, then, as if suddenly remembering something, leaned close to Fu Xuan's ear and whispered.
"R-really?" Fu Xuan's expression froze instantly, and he stammered a question. Then his eyes unconsciously drifted to Chen Li lying on the Robin's lap before quickly looking away.
"Of course, would I lie to you?" Yao Guang said with a smile.
"..." Chen Li tilted his head slightly.
Although Yao Guang and Fu Xuan spoke very softly, Chen Li clearly heard their conversation and inexplicably felt as if he had been slandered.
Do I really look that much like a lolicon?
Chen Li tilted his head because he was lying on the Robin's lap, so his head naturally rubbed against the Robin's lower abdomen.
"Chen Li... be gentle, don't move around." The Robin chuckled softly, feeling a little ticklish from being rubbed.
As soon as he said that, Taiyi, who had been staring at Celenova, slowly turned his head away, and his hostile gaze once again locked onto Chen Li.
Are you... trying to provoke me?
"Speaking of which, how's the Paradise Alliance matter going?" Sensing Taiyi's gaze, Chen Li decisively coughed lightly, turned to look at Yao Guang, and naturally changed the subject.
"Your Lord of Paradise, the Paradise Alliance is now thriving. The galaxy has long suffered from the three scourges of the universe, and since New Penacony began issuing Boundary Stone to the outside world free of charge, various planets have responded enthusiastically."
"Now, after only one day of development, Boundary Stone have spread across one-tenth of the world, and their number is still growing rapidly." Yao Guang's expression immediately switched from playful mode to work mode, and he reported with a smile.
For Yao Guang, the most important task now is naturally managing the Paradise Alliance. He needs to make the most of the Two-star Artifact, [Emperor's Proof], to prove that he is worthy of the trust placed in him by Chen Li.
As for discussing with everyone in New Penacony about dealing with the Propagation Aeon, that was just a pastime during breaks... Anyway, Yao Guang isn't involved in the Holy Grail War.
However, the Holy Grail War does have one advantage: it allows you to expand your network of connections.
For example, several Aeon are now involved in this Anti-Propagation Alliance.
Although the Paradise Alliance's future development will inevitably extend beyond interstellar space and beyond the Milky Way, befriending the Aeon is ultimately not a bad thing.
"Yes, very well done." Chen Li nodded slightly, acknowledging Yao Guang's work performance.
Even with the [Emperor's Proof], a Miraculous Item, even a pig could manage to run the Paradise Alliance quite well while sitting in that position.
However, Yao Guang was indeed adept at managing people's livelihood and the economy, arranging everything in an orderly manner.
Moreover, at the pre-battle meeting that just now, which brought together several Aeon, Servants, and Masters, Yao Guang's central command and tactical planning were also quite impressive.
"Junior sister, you must remember to take my place. We shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders." Saying this, Yao Guang turned to look at Fu Xuan and winked.
"This... this isn't quite right, is it? If that's really the case, won't people say it's something like secretly orchestrated..." Fu Xuan was taken aback by Yao Guang's words, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face.
Seeing Fu Xuan's serious and conflicted expression, Yao Guang's smile remained unchanged, but he sighed almost imperceptibly in his heart.
Yao Guang now understood why Jing Yuan had been keeping Fu Xuan hanging on, yet hadn't yet passed the general's position to her.
How could my junior sister, so naive, possibly become a general?
Junior sister, you're so confused.
Compared to those negligible rumors, if you let such trivial concerns cause you to miss the opportunity to become the leader of the Paradise Alliance... how many more years will you have to wait before becoming the partner of the Lord of Paradise?
Although the phrase "partner of the Lord of Paradise" was merely a joke uttered on the Terra Continent under the guise of promoting the Paradise Alliance, since Chen Li did not deny it on the spot at the time, either out of consideration for face or for other reasons, it was legally accepted.
My junior sister's skin is indeed a bit too thin.
And you didn't even say anything like, "How could my senior sister be dismissed?" It really broke my heart as her dear senior sister.
Sensing that Yao Guang hadn't spoken for a while, Fu Xuan looked up and met Yao Guang's eyes, which held a complex expression.
"Senior sister, why are you looking at me like that?" Fu Xuan frowned slightly.
"... I was just thinking about your chances of winning in this Holy Grail War, Junior Sister." Yao Guang quickly withdrew his gaze and changed the subject in a calm tone.
"It doesn't seem like we have a high chance of winning," Fu Xuan sighed, admitting frankly.
"Oh, by the way, how's the matter of setting up Boundary Stone in other worlds going?" Chen Li suddenly asked, looking at Yao Guang.
"Great Lord of Paradise, are you referring to the Boundary Stone being erected in your Main World?" Yao Guang bowed slightly and asked in a serious tone.
"Please stop calling me that, okay? It sounds weird. But that's really what I'm talking about." Chen Li rubbed his forehead helplessly.
Since the combination of [Emperor's Proof], [Boundary Stone], and [King's Land] has such a significant and superior effect, Chen Li naturally wouldn't forget the place where he was born.
The world Chen Li lived in was clearly not safe either. After all, encountering cult members on the street might be headline news for other citizens, but it was nothing unusual in Chen Li's daily life.
Moreover, that world is quite rich in resources. If one had to choose the most precious thing, it would probably be "Worldview resources." After all, in that world, identity is one's profession.
This Worldview is still quite valuable in a certain sense.
Although Chen Li often says, "Because I've been caught in the rain, I have to tear off other people's umbrellas too,"... considering that apart from himself, probably no one else is unlucky enough to awaken the transmigrator profession and run into cultists every day from the age of thirteen to seventeen.
Therefore, Chen Li decided to hold an umbrella for the younger generation.
Moreover, the relics from the original world were also a good source of materials. In addition, Chen Li had always been annoyed by the rampant cults and evil gods since he was a child. So yesterday, he told Yao Guang about his idea of Trailblaze the Main World.
"The establishment of Boundary Stone in your Main World has already shown initial results. This is largely thanks to your help, Uncle and Aunt," Yao Guang replied earnestly, naturally ignoring Chen Li's request to correct his form of address.
Oh? How so?
Chapter 2629
"Chen Li asked with some curiosity."
Because he had been busy with various things, and was used to not seeing his parents for ten days or half a month at a time, Chen Li didn't really realize that there was anything wrong with not seeing his parents during this period.
They also had no idea what their parents had done in setting up the Boundary Stone.
Now that Chen Li has become Miraculous Forger, he can easily forge some incredibly powerful Miraculous Item for his parents. However, in Chen Li's opinion, it's time for the two of them to enjoy themselves.
If it weren't for the fact that the Pixie weren't yet able to independently create Three-star Artifacts, Chen Li would already be considering retirement.
Eighteen years old is the age for retirement.
"Perhaps, Your Excellency, Lord of Paradise, have you forgotten? In your world, personal character levels can be increased. And completing tasks given by the world will earn you merits. Theoretically, your parents' level five personal character level could even be exchanged for a three-month Earth Chief position." Yao Guang tilted his head slightly and said to Chen Li with a hint of teasing.
"Oh, I remember now." Chen Li suddenly realized.
In Chen Li's world, there is indeed a personal panel level setting. The higher the level, the more functions the world opens up to the individual, and the more generous the world benefits one can obtain.
However, the reason why Chen Li's parents were frantically doing tasks and desperately raising their personal panel levels was initially to increase their own permissions and then help Chen Li solve the problem of his transmigrator profession.
As it turned out, Chen Li solved the problem himself.
"Oh, so... would your parents be considered a kind of Earth president?" At this point, Yao Guang seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly as he asked with some curiosity.
"So my parents got the identity of the President of Earth?" Chen Li raised an eyebrow.
"That's right. With the help of your aunt and uncle, and because the Boundary Stone and King's Land are indeed very useful in your world, the construction of King's Land has been very fast. You know your world... The people there may urgently need a means to suppress the various anomalies in their world." Yao Guang nodded and said earnestly.
"That's true." Chen Li nodded.
One of the advantages of Boundary Stone and King's Land is that they can apply the Worldview rules of other worlds, thereby invalidating abnormal things in this Worldview.
In Chen Li's world, even disregarding the various strange and bizarre occurrences, the mere task of sealing away high-risk items like relics requires the majority of the anomaly management agency's energy and resources. However, with King's Land and Boundary Stone, things become much less complicated.
If you put things next to the Boundary Stone, it can still rebel; that's a loss for the "Emperor's Proof".
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to cover the entire Earth by this evening. After all, as long as we place Boundary Stone on Starskiff... oh, in your world it's called an airplane. By placing Boundary Stone on an airplane and having it circle in the sky, we can quickly expand the King's Land's coverage." Yao Guang spread his hands slightly, his tone even carrying a hint of emotion.
What was that saying again?
We didn't have the same conditions as you back then.
After experiencing the arduous task of setting up Boundary Stone on the Terra Continent, Yao Guang truly realized how much easier it is to set up Boundary Stone in modern society.
Terra Continent's technology is not underdeveloped, but due to the constant impact of Catastrophe, its development has taken a somewhat distorted turn.
At most, there are some Moving Cities and drones, but no decent air transport facilities. This is why Regent Theresis spared no effort in building Sarkaz's own airships as a powerful weapon.
But that airship was entirely powered by the demonic engine driven by dead souls; it was just an empty shell.
Compared to the mature air transport system of modern society, it is worlds apart.
"It sounds like... you find this rather unique Worldview useful? Like the personal panel?" Yao Guang narrowed his eyes slightly and asked tentatively.
"That's right. But it needs to be revised. Rather than a pre-determined career model, I think that choosing a career based on one's own interests and subsequent training, although slightly less efficient, is healthier for the development of the Paradise." Chen Li nodded, his tone becoming more serious.
In Chen Li's view, true Paradise is not the seven-day weekend advocated by Sunday. When a person does nothing for too long, their eyes become dull and their soul gradually rusts. Extreme comfort is not necessarily happiness.
Of course, working 996 is definitely not a blessing.
As the saying goes, interest is the best teacher. And personal character panels do have their merits. After all, not every unlucky person is as randomly assigned a profession as maddening as Chen Li.
The vast majority of people in Chen Li's Main World have a very high positive opinion of the personal panel.
Just like why games are so appealing, it's because games can visualize your every effort, letting you see that as long as you put in the work, you'll be rewarded.
This is one of the foundations of Paradise.
Upon hearing the word "Paradise" from Chen Li, Taiyi couldn't help but glance at Chen Li again.
Then Taiyi's gaze slowly shifted to the porthole of the Astral Express, looking at the Miracle Fire burning fiercely throughout the entire New Penacony, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes.
Perhaps... the forging of this Miraculous Item has already begun.
