Chapter 74

A long-cherished wish of 451 years, the blessing of the imprint of thought, and the classic theory of lifespan.

Before this, Horya was already obsessed.

However, Chen Ran's solution was too simplistic and crude.

You realize you're overly anxious, so you go to see a psychologist. The doctor tells you it's because you're poor, and then immediately transfers you some money. Looking at your bank account balance, you suddenly feel like all your ailments are cured.

But this is just a shift from one extreme to another.

Horya's obsession with herself has now turned into an obsession with Chen Ran, this so-called 'Lord God'.

"Why do I always feel like I have to provide sex education to Red T and also provide mental health counseling to Snake Snake? Have I opened some kind of Terra counseling class?"

While complaining, Chen Ran tossed the interstellar warship in his hand out like a paper airplane.

After watching the interstellar warship fly steadily in mid-air for a while, it made a turn and flew back into Chen Ran's hands.

Chen Ran raised an eyebrow. "Oh ho? This little thing recognizes its owner or something?"

That's what he said, but Chen Ran's attention was neither on the interstellar warship nor on the Snake Snake, Horya.

Instead, he turned his head and looked at the desk.

Originally, it was just two cats whispering to each other, but at some point, the two Amiya, whose bellies were round and full after eating their desserts, joined Kal'tsit and the others in their discussion.

So suddenly it became a four-person meeting.

"The entire Siracusa group has come to believe in the Lord God? As expected, it's the right choice for them."

"Precise might have woken up? There couldn't be any worse news..."

What does it mean that Originium might have developed self-awareness?

One piece of news after another shocked Kal'tsit, to the point that she couldn't help but put her hand to her forehead.

With the encouragement and comfort of Amiya and Mon3tr, Kal'tsit's mood improved considerably.

However, when she noticed that Chen Ran was looking in their direction, Kal'tsit quickly adjusted her mindset. "My Lord God, I know you are merciful, but please hear me out."

Kal'tsit stepped forward and said, "I have traveled along the 'Sea Creatures Worldline' you mentioned, and I know that under your mercy, those survivors are now living a life free from worries about food and clothing."

Don't worry about whether you're well-fed and clothed or kept like a pet.

Anyway, the survivors in the Sea Creatures Worldline were undoubtedly lucky, or you could even say they were just sitting around doing nothing and winning.

Because those survivors actually did nothing; they only won the favor of Chen Ran, this 'Lord God,' by offering their loyalty to Savior Kal'tsit.

"But the survivors of the Sea Creatures Worldline are exceptions."

Kal'tsit tried her best to organize her words without offending Chen Ran: "In fact, the situation of the Terra is very complicated, so perhaps not all Terra are entitled to your... um... mercy."

Almost all the Terra on the Sea Creatures Worldline were wiped out. The survivors were all kind-hearted, idealistic, and ambitious.

Therefore, Kal'tsit was afraid that Chen Ran would misjudge the bigger picture and actually believe that all the Terra were such good and kind people.

Misunderstandings are not terrible. What Kal'tsit fears is that Chen Ran, out of 'mercy,' will unconditionally bestow a bunch of benefits upon the Terra in the normal Worldline.

When Chen Ran arrived, he was astonished to find that these Terra, instead of being grateful for the benefits, wanted even more. How shameless! Did they take his kindness for granted?

If Chen Ran becomes disillusioned with the Terra, then everything will be over.

That's what Kal'tsit fears.

"So..."

Kal'tsit paused for a moment before saying, "You might as well... wait and see how the Terra react."

Kal'tsit did not say anything like, "Wait until the other Terra have pledged their loyalty to you, just like Siracusa, before you reward them."

After all, she alone cannot decide the future of the Terra.

Furthermore, is believing in gods and being "supported" by them a way to avoid taking decades of detours, or is it an abandonment of humanity's future and dignity...?

Everyone has a different opinion on this.

"Oh, I see."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ran nodded in understanding.

Although Kal'tsit had already tried to be as tactful as possible...

However, that semi-transparent pop-up would appear almost every time Kal'tsit finished speaking, just to make its presence known and provide a comment.

For example, what—

This cat is guarding its food.

This cat is planning to talk badly about other small animals.

This cat thinks that if other small animals yawn at you, you should punish them instead of giving them cat food.

No, I think it's your semi-transparent pop-up that's talking badly about this cat.

Chen Ran watched the semi-transparent pop-up window the whole time and found it quite amusing.

Kal'tsit seemed to have misunderstood something. Seeing Chen Ran's smile, she thought Chen Ran had taken her words to heart, and so she breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Chen Ran spoke up again, "But even if you say that, Kai Miaomiao... how am I supposed to interpret the attitude of these Terra? I can't exactly choose a representative to ask them, can I?"

As he spoke, Chen Ran turned his head to look at Amiya and said, "For example, Rhodes Island? Who should I ask about Rhodes Island's attitude?"

Before Amiya could even react, the Demon King Rabbit beside her stretched out its little hand. "My Lord God, I'll go, I'll go ask him myself."

"Wait, wait! Demon King Rabbit Sister! Demon King Rabbit Sister! It can't be that bad! It really can't be that bad!"

Seeing that the Demon King Rabbit was about to float away after speaking, Amiya quickly ran over and hugged it.

The Demon King Rabbit himself is getting involved?

Amiya certainly didn't want to hear something like, "Bad news from Rhodes Island."

However, Horya, who had been clinging to Chen Ran, seemed thoughtful upon hearing this and said, "My Lord God, may I ask Columbia about their attitude?"
