On the boundless snowfield, two figures, one tall and one short, walked silently forward.
With each step, a deep footprint is left, which has now formed two lines that stretch as far as the eye can see.
Aidan walked ahead, a green heart floating in front of his chest like a barrier to shield him and Yao Di behind him from the wind and snow.
Even so, the surrounding cold still made Yao Di's little face turn slightly red.
She looks so pitiful that it unconsciously evokes a protective instinct in people.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, Aidan suddenly stopped, nearly causing Yao Di behind her to bump into her.
[What's wrong?]
Aidan slowly turned to face Yao Di, whose already slightly flushed face turned even redder, and she shyly lowered her head.
Why... do you keep following me?
Although it was a question, Aidan's tone was full of tenderness, making her sound completely unafraid.
But Yao Di still didn't know how to answer.
Aidan didn't press the other party, but simply spoke with a sigh.
"It's so good to have met you. If only we had met sooner..."
"Me too..."
Yao Di immediately raised her head and nodded excitedly.
Aidan glanced in another direction.
I have to go. Do you want to come with me?
This sentence stunned Yao Di, and her mind began to wander into all sorts of wild thoughts.
If I agree, I will be indirectly making my relationship and attitude towards Aidan clear.
Although Yao Di did indeed have immense affection for Aidan, Yao Di never dared to be careless when it came to love.
What if... Aidan doesn't really like me?
What if Aidan is two-faced?
Perhaps because of the family tragedy, Yao Di was extremely conflicted at this moment.
Seeing the other person's conflicted expression, Aidan seemed to have found the answer.
He sighed softly, his expression showing no sign of blaming the other person.
He slowly lifted the green heart on his chest and presented it to the other person.
This startled Yao Di, who was still struggling with her decision, and she looked up at the other person with some confusion.
"Take this; it might help you later."
Yao Di took it blankly and held it in her hands.
The green pixel heart was so pure and green, it felt like seeing nature itself, and it was also radiating a warm temperature. Yao Di's slightly red little hands quickly warmed up.
Yao Di stared at the green heart in a daze. When she came to her senses and looked up,
The place was now empty; Aidan was nowhere to be seen.
Yao Di looked around, but couldn't find the figure. She suddenly panicked.
"Ai... Aidan! Aidan!"
She shouted at the sky with all her might, but it was like throwing a stone into an abyss—there was no response.
A single, crystal-clear tear slowly trickled down through the gap in her bangs, dripping down her flushed cheek.
She felt a void in her heart... something Yao Di had never felt before.
"Don't cry..."
Suddenly, a somewhat flustered voice rang out from Aidan.
Yao Di was startled and quickly looked around, but couldn't see Aidan. Finally, her gaze fell on the green pixelated heart.
"This... is also a part of my soul. I'm sorry I made you cry..."
Yao Di smiled through her tears, shook her head, held the heart in one hand, and picked up the notice board with the other.
Let's go play video games!
The living quarters of the Gravekeepers.
The heavy iron door was blasted away by a giant skeletal arm, flying out like a missile.
Then, Ye Ciqing took the lead and entered the area with a flying kick.
"Remnants of the old era! Prepare for your doom!!!"
He was surrounded by a giant skeleton with only its upper body, which was in a fighting stance.
Then, looking at the empty residential area, he fell silent.
"Huh? This is so different from what I imagined."
Ye Ciqing scratched his head, and the other members of the Light God Society arrived one after another.
Ye Linwan frowned slightly, took out five spider eggs from her pocket, and tossed them aside casually.
Five giant, dark green spiders instantly hatched and began to search their surroundings.
The remaining members of the Light God Society also began a thorough search, or went to other residential areas.
Half an hour later, they received a result that baffled them.
That was the area of the seven Gravekeepers, and there wasn't a single living person there.
The only unusual place was one of the areas most invaded by Aidan, but even there, it was nothing but corpses and ruins.
"Did that guy kill all of these people?"
Ye Ciqing manner and leaned close to Ye Linwan, saying...
Ye Linwan scratched her head, feeling that it was unreasonable for one person to kill nearly ten thousand people, but it seemed to be the most reasonable reason.
After searching several more times, they were finally certain that there was indeed no one there.
Ye Linwan found Nan Tian and explained the situation to him.
Nan Tian frowned slightly. "Things do seem a bit complicated. I'll just make one wish."
"Okay, sure."
Nan Tian thought for a moment about what wish he should make and then silently recited it in his heart.
Is someone lying in ambush on us?
Then a negative answer came to mind.
Did they run away?
This time it's for sure.
Nan Tian wiped away his sweat, looking much more relaxed.
"They fled; there are indeed no hostile forces here."
Ye Linwan was a little surprised, "I thought every Night Star was dedicated to saving humanity's lives, but it seems they're not so great after all."
Nan Tian simply smiled and did not answer.
As the space between the two slightly distorted, Lin Wushuang arrived beside Nan Tian.
"Lord, the location has been completely determined. We can take you there now."
"Thanks a lot."
Let me outline the plan for you first.
The two nodded and listened attentively.
"I will remain at the Tree of Terra until the plan is complete."
"From now on, Ye Linwan will be in full charge of external affairs, while Lin Wushuang, you will be responsible for intelligence transmission."
"Okay!" Lin Wushuang nodded, then sighed somewhat dejectedly.
"It's a pity that [X] was destroyed by the Night Star's artificial intelligence; even transmitting information is so complicated now."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linwan also showed a look of sympathy and regret.
"I will revive it then."
Nan Tian spoke calmly, "That's a simple arrangement." He then looked at Ye Linwan, "This time, you'll have to work very hard."
"Hehe, it's nothing."
"Alright, Lin Wushuang, take me away."
Lin Wushuang stretched her joints, getting a little closer to Nan Tian.
A large distortion began to form around them, enveloping them Nan Tian.
"Sister Ye, I'll come find you again later!"
"Okay, bye-bye~"
After saying goodbye to Ye Linwan, he and Nan Tian spiraled and disappeared in the same spot.
