"It's a long story," Lin Feng said, looking at Catherine. " Catherine, judging from your appearance, you're a waitress at this restaurant. If you have time, please sit down, and we can talk slowly."
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Lin Feng felt a surge of joy.
Upon hearing this, Catherine smiled and said, "Each table has a dedicated waiter, and I am your dedicated waiter. I will be serving you throughout your meal in this restaurant. As long as you don't leave, I will be available from now until curfew tonight."
As she spoke, Catherine found a seat opposite Lin Feng and sat down.
"Are you the High Priest Catherine, the guardian deity of the Yulan Empire back then?" Baobao asked as soon as Catherine sat down.
Although Catherine had been away from the Yulan Plane for over a hundred years when the Baobao was born, Catherine was still a god-level powerhouse who had dominated Yulan for over ten thousand years. While her fame might not match Lin Feng's, the Yulan Empire of Life Temple, which Catherine founded, still protected the Yulan Empire. Centuries later, the name of High Priest Catherine had not been forgotten by the people of the Yulan Empire. The current High Priest of the Life Temple was none other than Catherine's last disciple, Dilia's brother, and Dixie, who was once considered one of the two geniuses of Ernst Institute, alongside Lin Feng. Of course, Dixie was now also a god-level powerhouse.
" High Priest?" Catherine was taken aback. This title hadn't been mentioned for hundreds of years, and she had almost forgotten it herself. After hundreds of years, the fact that this title, which had accompanied her for over ten thousand years, was being brought up again inevitably stirred up countless memories for her.
Catherine turned her head, looked at the Baobao, and asked in confusion, "Who are you?"
"Hehe, Aunt Catherine, this is my sister, her name is Baobao," Sasha said with a smile.
When the Yulan Empire was occupied, Catherine lived in Lin Feng's Dragonblood Castle for several decades and became acquainted with Sasha.
"Your sister?" Catherine stared at Sasha and smiled. "You must be Sasha. It's been hundreds of years. I didn't expect you to have become Midgod."
" Lin Feng, you said O'Brien was captured and enslaved?" Catherine looked at Lin Feng nervously.
Although Catherine never accepted O'Brien's feelings, she never directly rejected them either. She and the War God, one guarding the Yulan Empire and the other ruling the O'Brien Empire, might not have met more than a few times in thousands of years. But over those thousands of years, she and the War God were known as the two great god-level powerhouses of Yulan. After nearly six thousand years, it would be absolutely impossible for her to have no feelings for O'Brien at all.
The reason Catherine didn't accept O'Brien's feelings while in Yulan wasn't because she had no feelings for the War God, but because she was too shy, and also because she had spent too much time with War God —so much so that they were very familiar with each other. This familiarity made Catherine unsure of her true feelings for the War God. Her insistence on coming to the Life Divine Plane alone might also have been partly an attempt to escape the God of War God.
But after separating from the War God, Catherine realized that without War God "old friend" by her side, she felt unaccustomed to anything. Over the centuries, Catherine also truly realized her feelings for the God of War God.
Now, upon hearing that the War God had been captured and enslaved, Catherine felt genuinely anxious.
Seeing Catherine's reaction, Lin Feng smiled inwardly. Back when he watched " Coiling Dragon " on Earth, Lin Feng had hoped that the War God and the High Priest, this ill-fated couple, would have a happy ending. But ever since the High Priest went to the Life Divine Plane, he seemed to have disappeared, never to reappear until the very end. This inevitably left Lin Feng with some regret.
Now that Lin Feng has this opportunity, he naturally hopes to help the War God and the High Priest achieve their goal.
"Don't worry, my Earth Divine Clone, along with Beibei and Taros, are on their way to Black Dragon Island to find clues to rescue O'Brien and the others," Lin Feng reassured him.

Catherine remained silent. She realized that even though she knew O'Brien was in danger, there was nothing she could do except worry about him. She was only at the Midgod realm, and even if she could leave the Life Divine Plane and go to the Infernal Realm, she couldn't save O'Brien; she might even lose herself in the process.
Seeing the worry on Catherine's face, Lin Feng changed the subject at the right time and asked, " Catherine, tell me about your experiences after coming to the Life Divine Plane. How did you end up becoming a restaurant waitress?"
"Me?" Catherine recalled for a moment and said, "When I first arrived in the Life Divine Plane, I was also teleported to Emerald Heart Lake. Afterwards, I was sent by the Emerald Heart Army to the vicinity of this Graceful City."
The Emerald Heart Army is similar to the Zijing Army and the Starry Fog Sea Army.
"When I first arrived here, I knew nothing and wandered around aimlessly until I encountered a gang of robbers."
"Robbers?" the Baobao asked curiously. "How did you escape from them?"
Having gained several years of experience venturing into the Life Divine Plane, Baobao was naturally no stranger to bandits. Over the years, they had encountered countless bandits, but without exception, they were all wiped out by Lin Feng at her and Sasha's urging.
"The leader of this band of robbers, seeing that I am a woman and only at the Lowgod level, wanted me to be his wife, his chieftain's wife."
When the term "bandit's wife" was mentioned, Catherine blushed slightly, her fair face turning slightly red.
"A bandit's wife?" Baobao became excited and asked, "Do you have one?"
" Baobao!" Lin Feng scolded the Baobao. Seeing the anger on Lin Feng's face, the Baobao knew that her question was inappropriate, so she mischievously stuck out her tongue, lowered her head, and became a good girl.
"At the time, I naturally didn't want to and tried to escape. But the leader of this band of robbers was a Midgod, and I had no way to escape." Catherine paused for a moment before continuing, "Fortunately, we happened to run into a dispatch team from the Goddess Alliance. They rescued me and wiped out the band of robbers."
"Goddess Alliance?" Lin Feng asked confused, "What kind of organization is this?"
Lin Feng has been in the Life Divine Plane for decades, and he has never heard of the Goddess Alliance.
Catherine looked up and saw Lin Feng and the other two looking at her with curiosity. She smiled and said, "The full name of the Goddess Alliance is the Alliance of Female God-Level Powerhouses. This Graceful City is the headquarters of the Goddess Alliance. And the city lord of Graceful City is the leader of the Goddess Alliance."
"No wonder there are so many women in this city; Father was almost mesmerized." Baobao exclaimed in realization, "So this is the headquarters of the Alliance of Female God-Level Powerhouses."
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly, ignoring the Baobao's words, and instead asked Catherine, "So how did you become a waitress at this restaurant?"
"After being rescued by the Goddess Alliance's dispatch team, I naturally joined the Goddess Alliance," Catherine said. "After the Goddess Alliance, I realized just how powerful the Goddess Alliance was. All the shops, hotels, restaurants, and other businesses in this city belonged to the Goddess Alliance, and the staff there were all members of the Goddess Alliance. When I Goddess Alliance, I was only Lowgod, belonging to the bottom tier of the Goddess Alliance, and I wasn't qualified to be a waiter in these places. At that time, we lower-level members of the Goddess Alliance only had one task: to strive to break through to the Midgod. During this period, the Goddess Alliance provided us with free accommodation in the city."
"After joining the Goddess Alliance for over a hundred years, I finally broke through to the Midgod and became a mid-level member of the Goddess Alliance. After that, I was assigned by the Goddess Alliance to work as a waiter in this restaurant."
