Kal'tsit ruined me!

"So, the Doctor's condition is probably due to a recent serious illness; he was already emotionally unstable, and then he suffered a huge shock, so..."

"So, Lost Cat, you mean the Doctor almost couldn't catch his breath?"

"That's roughly it..."

Hearing the conversation between the two people beside him, the Doctor, whose condition had gradually stabilized, slowly opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is Chen Ran, whose body spans the entire galaxy, and Kal'tsit, who is standing in Chen Ran's palm, saying something to him.

The Doctor took a few deep breaths and finally caught his breath.

However, to calm himself down, the Doctor first looked away and looked around.

She saw Xi holding an egg, not knowing how to incubate it.

She saw Skadi was holding her phone, looking completely relaxed and doing nothing.

She saw Mylnar pop her little head out of the fish tank.

As well as--

Wishdale was yawning, seemingly being forcibly dragged out of his sleep to work.

Looking at these familiar faces, the Doctor felt a lump in his throat.

Because when she met the three Kal'tsit, she already knew that although these people were exactly the same as those in her memory, they belonged to other Worldline.

And those people she knew... were long gone.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you actually didn't die, huh?"

A slightly sarcastic voice interrupted the Doctor's sadness.

The Doctor turned her head and found that Wishdale had walked up to her side at some point.

Looking at this face, which was exactly the same as the one she remembered, the Doctor felt a pang of nostalgia, perhaps because she was seeing a familiar face, and she even felt a deep longing for Wishdale's eccentric manner.

"What are you looking at? You're making it sound like I've died."

Seeing the Doctor's expression, Wishdale couldn't help but say, "You're really lucky, buddy. No wonder that Little Rabbit risked her life to save you in the end, and no wonder I rushed to Rhodes Island to rescue you."

After saying that, Wishdale half-squatted down in front of the Doctor, then pointed at the Doctor's nose and said, "Quick, say thank you to me, or I'll rip your hood off! Oh wait, you don't have a hood right now."

As the Doctor listened to Wishdale's words, his initial nostalgic expression gradually turned into a sense that something was amiss.

"W?! You, you are—"

"My name is now Wishdale!"

Wishdale clicked her tongue twice and laughed, "That's right, I'm on the same Worldline as you. You didn't expect that, did you? Besides you, I'm lucky enough to have survived too."

"What about the others?!"

"Gone." Wishdale spread his hands. "Only the two of us survived."

"..."

Watching the Doctor suddenly become excited, then suddenly become depressed, and even to the point where he seemed to be heading in the direction of emo,

Wishdale shook his head and waved his hand. "Hey! You bastard! The hooded man's awake!"

"She woke up so quickly? It was worth all the faith points I gave her."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran naturally grabbed the Lost Cat and turned to walk over here.

Before Chen Ran could even ask, the Doctor seemed downcast again.

But the Doctor suddenly perked up and looked up, asking, "Sir...?"

"Oh? A new nickname."

It's unclear whether Kal'tsit taught her this title, or if, like Precise, she held a different perspective on his existence.

In short, having saved himself from trouble, Chen Ran bent down, looked down at the Doctor standing on the table, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I want to know... can I go back?"

"Go back? Go back where? Oh... Doctor, you want to go back to your Worldline?"

"Right."

The Doctor asked this question with expectation.

Although she knew the chances were slim, after all, someone like Chen Ran had no reason to pay attention to her.

But... the Doctor ultimately wanted to go back.

Chapter 323 You can always trust Horya's devotion

The Worldline where the Doctor is located is naturally the Worldline where Originium Outbreak.

After the land was completely covered with Originium, Chen Ran stopped paying attention to that Worldline.

Instead, it turned into a mining planet, allowing natives of Terra from other Worldline to mine it to their heart's content.

Hearing the Doctor mention it, Chen Ran seemed to remember it again. He turned around, walked to the planet model, looked down, and peered inside.

On that expanse of golden-orange Originium land, two interstellar warships had been anchored for some time.

The crowd surged out of the spaceship like a dark mass of ants, and then, as if using whatever materials were available, they began to dig and excavate. There were even a few mining robots drilling wells there.

However, because the Originium had already spread throughout the planet, even penetrating into the mantle, it had assimilated the entire planet.

So from a bird's-eye view, it looks like these Terra natives have been busy for a long time, but in the end, they haven't even scratched the surface of the planet.

Furthermore, because the entire planet has been assimilated, while there is no shortage of Originium fuel, there is neither food nor water supply.

They were destined not to stay here for long.

And that was indeed the case. The two interstellar warships eventually only replenished their ship's fuel and mined some more as a reserve before deciding to leave.

Only--

"I've been wanting to say this for a while now... Although this planet is covered in Originium and its original terrain is no longer visible, but..."

"Is this Terra? Or is it Terra from another Worldline?"

"What on Worldline? How did it get like this?"

"What about our Worldline? Is it possible that this also happens...?"

These Terra natives weren't stupid; during the Originium process, quite a few of them noticed something amiss.

But even if you figure it out, what can you do?

They're all dead.

"Oh dear, why think so much? Maybe this Worldline angered the Lord God and was punished by them?"

So some people, in this posture, called out to the crowd, preparing to return to the spaceship.

Chen Ran, who had been watching for so long, naturally reached out and first dispelled the fog of war surrounding the planet.

As the sky cleared instantly, countless Terra natives instinctively looked up at the heavens and saw the gods appear in the world.

"Lord God!"

Countless people's first reaction was to worship and pray on the spot, which brought Chen Ran a new wave of faith points.

Chen Ran waved his hand dismissively. "You guys do your thing, where's that Snake Snake, Horya?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a person rushed out of the spaceship, sprouted wings on his back, and took off, flying to Chen Ran's outstretched palm at top speed.

"Lord God!"

Horya clearly hadn't stopped for a moment; after landing in Chen Ran's palm, she remained panting for an unknown amount of time.

Even so, it couldn't hide Horya's sweet smile, which was almost obsessive.

And the snake tail behind her was still tightly wrapped around Chen Ran's fingertips, even gently rubbing up and down.

For a snake, this coiling motion can only mean either that it wants to hunt or that it wants to mate.

Although Chen Ran could easily say, "Oh, it's nothing, I was just teasing you."

But looking at Horya's almost morbid smile, one can't help but feel that even if he said that...

Horya would also say things like, "Play? No problem, how do you want to play with me, my Lord God? Yes, I don't mind how you play with me."

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. Just don't rush off. Once the spaceship reaches the outer edge of the planet, stop there and wait for a bit."

Chen Ran was about to say it, but he changed his mind.

But his thumb, which was gripping Horya, still unconsciously rubbed her body gently.

Seeing this, Horya not only didn't feel that she had been taken advantage of, but her face became even more ecstatic.

Horya knew what made her alluring.

A voluptuous body, full thighs, and breasts that seem ready to burst out.

So--

"I will follow your will, My Lord God!"

Horya responded, but deliberately seductively...

She longed to use her three alluring parts to squeeze and rub against Chen Ran's fingertips, and then say something like, "My Lord God, don't you have any other decrees?"

Unfortunately,

Because of her fervor, Horya would remember every word Chen Ran said and carry it out at any cost.

Since Chen Ran had given her the task, Horya would naturally do it; seducing and alluring people was a minor matter.

So, with lingering reluctance, Horya gently kissed Chen Ran's fingertips before releasing her entwined tail and flying back to the planet.

Although he didn't know how Horya carried out the plan, Chen Ran soon saw the Terra natives, who had previously swarmed like ants, return to the spaceship at top speed.

Then the two interstellar warships took off again, leaving the Earth's surface and soaring into outer space.

Then it came to rest in the orbit of the planet model, waiting for Chen Ran's next instruction.

"I didn't expect you to be this quick... Never mind."

Seeing that things had come to this point, Chen Ran said no more.

However, when Horya left earlier, she left behind a lingering warmth and fragrance on his fingertips, along with some strange water stains.

So Chen Ran could only rub his fingertips together and turn his head, saying, "Doctor, didn't you want to go back to your Worldline? Come on."

The Doctor didn't really have any hope, after all, she knew she was too insignificant, and even a glance from Chen Ran would be an unattainable blessing.

But to the Doctor's surprise, Chen Ran actually agreed upon hearing this, and not only did she agree, she also took care of it for her.

What merit does she possess...?

This creator-like being is actually so easy to talk to?

So much so that when the Doctor heard it, he was stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Chen Ran called out again that Wishdale, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it any longer. He walked over, reached out, and lifted the Doctor up like a chick.

Then, a dazzling halo appeared above her head, and wings sprouted from her back. W took to the air, pulling the Doctor along with her.

"What are you daydreaming about? Oh, I get it, you're not like that Precise, muttering something about everything having a price, are you?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, with your small frame, Doctor, come on."

"If you really have to pay any price, that bastard will probably play for 13 hours a game, and 12 of those hours will be spent saving your life."

Chapter 324 Wishdale has gone off to live a good life with a man, forgetting all about us old folks.

The Doctor was light and agile, and even when Wishdale carried her in flight, it seemed effortless.

Only after flying right up to Chen Ran did Wishdale yell, "I dragged this girl over here for you, and then what? Just throw her in?"

"That's not the case. We haven't developed any parachute-free rappelling or high-altitude freefall amusement park rides yet."

Chen Ran reached out his hand. "Give me the Doctor."

After taking the Doctor's hand, Chen Ran pointed to the planet model in front of him and said, "Look, this is your Worldline, Doctor. Can you see it clearly?"

"..." Although the Doctor had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't help but feel grief as he looked at the golden expanse. "Has this land become like this...? And... is it too late...?"

"That's hard to say."
