You Just Said Little Garden, Didn't You?
Li Yu learned everything from Nangong Natsuki, and at the same time, he had a guess in his mind: Pandora could raise the strength of many people at any time if necessary.
These people have probably all signed Contract with the world, so when they encounter problems, they can directly borrow power from Pandora. If that's the case, their world must have quite a few Tier 10 beings?
"Are there any people who have truly forged their own path?" Li Yu couldn't help but ask, if so, then she really needed to find out more about them.
"We haven't found our way out yet. Many people are in seclusion, and some have even given up entirely." Nangong Natsuki didn't hide anything from Li Yu when he asked her, and told him the truth.
Ultimately, it's because their foundation is too shallow. This world has only been experiencing a spiritual revival for a little over a decade. Even if they acquire the foundation of other worlds to strengthen themselves, it's still too shallow. That's why there aren't many people who can truly walk this path.
After learning about the situation, Li Yu felt somewhat regretful. It seemed that he was destined to walk his own path from now on. Perhaps he could talk to Pandora about the situation another day.
With an idea in mind, Li Yu looked up at Nangong Natsuki and asked, "So, Natsuki-chan, what brings you here?"
He didn't dwell on that issue, but instead started asking about the important matter, since this guy had other things to discuss with him.
"What kind of world are you going to this time? The World Will hasn't given much explanation, so they've sent us to ask you." Nangong Natsuki also became serious upon seeing this.
The emergence of a brand new and highly advanced world is undoubtedly of great importance. This time, only Li Yu went there, so they need to figure out the situation in order to be fully prepared when they fully integrate in the future.
Upon hearing this, Li Yu immediately understood. He then began explaining the situation of that world to Nangong Natsuki: "In reality, that world is already under our control."
Li Yu explained the basic situation of that world, as well as how Pandora's will had taken control of it. He said that if the passage between the two worlds were to be opened, they would be on friendly terms, since violence was not an option in that world.
After hearing Li Yu's explanation, Nangong Natsuki asked with great surprise, "That world doesn't allow fighting? It's entirely determined by the game? That's quite similar to the Little Garden, or perhaps even Little Garden?"
Upon suddenly hearing the name "Little Garden), Li Yu was stunned. They had a connection to Little Garden? Li Yu was immediately shocked. Was it the Little Garden he was thinking of?
"Natsuki-chan, what kind of world is this 'Little Garden' you're talking about?" Li Yu couldn't contain his curiosity and asked directly.
Hearing this, Nangong Natsuki shook her head and said, "I don't know much about this world either, because the passage has never been open and has always been in the hands of the World Will. We only know some of the rules. It's a stage for all sorts of gods and Buddhas."
Upon hearing this information, Li Yu's eyes lit up. It seemed that this world possessed a passage to the Little Garden. If it were truly possible to travel to the Little Garden... that would undoubtedly be a good thing!
That's where the bigger stage is! Thinking of this, Li Yu couldn't help but feel excited. If he felt he could go there in the future, he would ask around. It seems that there are many things in the world that he doesn't know about!
"Understood. I'll talk to her about it properly later. There's no need to worry about the new world. Besides, I have people there. The leader of the Immanity is on my side. Also, I'm still the second-generation Artosh there." Li Yu chuckled as he said this.
If you look at it carefully, Li Yu has quite a few allies over there: the Elves, the Flügel, and the Immanity. These races will definitely stand on Li Yu's side, so there shouldn't be any problem.
Nangong Natsuki listened to these words and nodded thoughtfully. Although Li Yu did not say what he did in that world, it seemed that he had done something quite extraordinary.
Otherwise, how could he have broken through to this level so quickly? But this is definitely a good thing, and in this way, this kid can be considered to have his own power, and not a weak one at that.
The Special Class is actually Li Yu's core group, but it seems that this kid has now acquired even stronger fighters, which is not bad. In the future, if there are any worlds that need to fight, we can just let this kid participate.
After all, they were short-handed, otherwise they wouldn't have let her handle everything, Nangong Natsuki thought to herself.
After chatting for a while, Li Yu also played with a group of young girls there. It wasn't until evening that Li Yu left the teachers' apartment and returned to his own dormitory.
For the next few days, Li Yu rested alone in the dormitory. As the start of the new semester approached, the others gradually returned. Asuna and the others saw the message Li Yu posted in the group chat as soon as they came out of the third rift.
Upon seeing her boyfriend's message, Asuna's face lit up with joy. Li Yu was actually back? This prompted Asuna to quicken her pace and head back to school.
Li Yu, who was idly playing on his phone on the balcony, was startled when he suddenly saw Asuna jump up from below. Asuna, seeing Li Yu, asked with surprise, "When did you get back?"
Seeing Asuna, Li Yu chuckled and said, "You came back three days ago, it seems you've had quite a haul?"
Feeling the increase in magical power within Asuna's body, Li Yu asked in surprise, because her magical power had increased, and by more than just a little bit.
Hearing this, Asuna chuckled and immediately recounted everyone's ordeal. They had indeed killed a god this time, and everyone had participated. However, Xia Yu and the others had gone there first.
However, they found no trace of the other Heretic Gods. Their luck only improved when everyone gathered together, and they found Quetzalcoatl in the Amazon.
Listening to Asuna's explanation, Li Yu was immediately surprised and enlightened. They were really lucky; they actually managed to find Heretic Gods. Li Yu had initially prepared for everyone to come up empty-handed.
"Good luck, my magic power has increased by at least 20%!" Li Yu gave a thumbs up in approval. Just then, the others ran over. Li Yu's door was open, so Xia Yu and the others walked in easily.
"Class monitor~! We're back! How was your trip? I heard you went to the New World?" Xia Yu's face was full of excitement. She was quite satisfied with the trip and was very curious about what Li Yu had gained.
Seeing Xia Yu running in and the other classmates outside, Li Yu couldn't help but smile and said, "I've gained a lot! My strength has now reached the Ninth Tier, and I've completely left you all behind."
Li Yu made no attempt to hide his abilities, and everyone heard him say that. But because they heard it, everyone was stunned and somewhat incredulous.
"Class monitor, you're not bragging, are you?" Xia Yu's head was buzzing. Li Yu was already at Ninth Tier? What a joke!
They'd only been gone a month, not a year, and Li Yu was already at the Ninth Tier?
"I'm not bragging, it's all true! My strength has reached the Ninth Tier now!" It's normal that no one believes this. Anyone who knows Li Yu's previous strength would be shocked to hear about his strength a month later.
The difference in their abilities was so vast, it was almost despair-inducing. Asuna looked at her boyfriend in disbelief and asked, "How did you do that? How did you suddenly reach the Ninth Tier?"
She looked at Li Yu nervously. Had he done something outrageous to break through to the Ninth Tier? This reminded Asuna of World Will had told Li Yu when he went to the other world.
To travel through time... Asuna's pupils contracted. Could Li Yu have spent many years in another world? And then used his talent to improve his strength?
"Don't overthink it, I just had some unexpected gains. Anyway, I made a profit this time!" Li Yu found Asuna's shocked expression amusing, but Li Yu didn't elaborate.
Anyway, they had an unexpected gain. As long as they knew Li Yu was alright, they didn't need to know the details.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, still finding it hard to believe. In just one month, Li Yu's strength had broken through from the Seventh Tier to the Ninth Tier —who wouldn't be astonished?
"Now that you're back, you should get some rest. Schools will be starting soon, and if nothing much happens, we'll probably be spending most of the new semester in school," Li Yu said, looking at the students gathered around.
Hearing Li Yu's words, everyone had no choice but to temporarily give up the idea of continuing to ask questions. After telling Li Yu, they all returned to their dormitories.
However, Asuna didn't leave; instead, she stayed. Their relationship was no secret, and even if they lived together now, probably no one in their class would say anything.
"I'm so frustrated. I thought I'd gained quite a bit from this trip, but compared to you, my improvement is practically nonexistent," Asuna complained to Li Yu with a melancholy expression after everyone had left.
She was initially overjoyed at killing a god, but now she felt it all meant nothing. After all, the gap was too big. Li Yu had awakened at the same time as them, but now the distance between them was growing ever wider.
"Well, it's mainly because I was lucky this time, and I even acquired a race over there!" Li Yu smiled and then told them what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Asuna became interested and asked Li Yu to tell her about the situation there, wanting to know how acquiring a race came about. She was quite curious about these things.
Seeing this, Li Yu didn't hide anything. Instead, he started chatting with Asuna about things over there, letting her learn about that world so that they might go there someday!
