Garden of Existence

The large Garden was now filled with red and yellow colors, with red decorations and yellow lanterns casting shadows on the people coming and going.

Everywhere were civilians and soldiers, and everyone's face was smiling, relaxed and happy.

The Garden was even more lively than Daiyu.

"My goddess, would you like some dessert?"

At the gathering place in the Garden, Dong Tian carried a tray filled with various kinds of desserts.

Ayinai looked at the desserts, reached out, picked up a piece, and put it in her mouth. Ayinai savored the sweet but not cloying taste and nodded calmly.

Seeing Ayinai nod, Dong Tian 'Dong Tian face lit up with joy. He moved the tray in his hands forward a little, his face full of anticipation.

Others might not know what kind of Aeon Ayinai is, but Dong Tian knows her better than anyone else. After all, he was the one who spent time alone with Ayinai in the Corridor of Existence. As far as he knows, even Qingzhu didn't receive such treatment.

The Aeon, whom others considered inviolable and sacred, was not so inviolable in his eyes, after all, Ayinai had clearly shown him protection in the Corridor of Existence.

Therefore, in his view, Ayinai was not the kind of Aeon who was difficult to get along with.

However, Ayinai made no move at this moment, and the expectation on Dong Tian's face slowly faded, replaced by a hint of disappointment.

However, just when he thought Ayinai wouldn't get a result, Ayinai reached out her hand. Although her face still had that indifferent expression, Dong Tian was overjoyed and placed the tray in Ayinai's hands.

Ayinai nodded slightly, then picked up another piece and put it in her mouth. Although it wasn't clear from her face, Ayinai's hand gestures showed that Ayinai didn't dislike it.

Ayinai was eating her dessert when she realized she couldn't feel anything in her hands. She looked at the tray in her hands, which was now clean, without a single crumb.

Ayinai looked up at Dong Tian and then handed him the tray.

Dong Tian's expression turned to joy, and he took the tray from Ayinai and ran to the table to serve the desserts.

" Arbiter of Life Siming, do you like desserts?"

Qingzhu was a little curious, since Ayinai had previously shown that she liked barbecued food, but now it seemed that it wasn't just barbecued food; desserts also seemed to be on Ayinai's menu.

Ayinai calmly replied, "It's alright. Food is nothing more than satisfying the appetite of Aeon. The reason I ate it is because the message left by the original body hoped that I would meet your expectations."

Although Ayinai split herself into two deities, one divine and one human, the most fundamental Ayinai remained within the underlying logic of both: responding to the expectations of loyal people.

Qingzhu nodded, indicating that she understood. At the same time, she planned in her heart that after the celebration banquet, she would definitely tell the kitchen to prepare desserts when she returned to Daiyu.

"Hey, Ayinai, have you seen Aha lately?"

Akivili held a large leg of meat in his left hand and a large wing of meat in his right, while chewing on a large piece of meat he had just torn off from his leg.

Ayinai looked at him, took a step back, for no other reason than that Akivili looked so pathetic.

"Never seen this before. Besides, you're supposed to be Aeon; your current appearance is beneath your dignity."

Akivili looked at the meat in his hand, then at the cream that hadn't been wiped off Ayinai's lips.

Akivili: Pshaw, you're not much better than me.

Akivili dared not say these words aloud; at most, he would only think them in his heart. If he did, he would inevitably get a beating.

"I heard that Aha seems to be up to something big lately."

Ayinai glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "Oh, so?"

Akivili was taken aback. He had thought Ayinai would be interested in asking more questions, but instead, she only asked, "So?"

After calming himself down, Akivili spoke again, "I've heard that Aha has recently gotten involved with Oroboros."

This time, Ayinai reacted, frowning. " Oroboros? That half-body remains?"

Akivili nodded; he had only heard about it from others. As for who told him, it was the talk of the town in that old Tavern.

Ayinai looked at Him, then turned her head and began eating the dessert on the tray she had taken from Dong Tian again.

"Oh."

"Oh? Just... oh?"

Akivili was bewildered. He had wanted to take Ayinai with him to see this interesting thing, but Ayinai looked completely uninterested. How could he possibly bring it up?

"Yeah, that's right. What Aha does is His own choice. What the outcome or the process is, what does it have to do with me?"

If it were a personality clone present, it might have followed Akivili to see if the rumor was true. But unfortunately, it is Ayinai's divine clone present, and its divinity tells it that this is the Aeon's own decision, and it has no reason to interfere.

Seeing Ayinai calmly eating the food on the tray in his hand, Akivili sighed, then moved closer to Ayinai and chatted with Ayinai about Qlipoth and the interesting things He had seen in the universe.

Behind the two gods, four heads peeked out furtively from behind the pillars, each face bearing the same expression: jealousy.

With a chilling tone, Qingzhu brandished his long spear. "Where did this man come from again? Could it be that he's changed his appearance after being humiliated last time? It seems the lesson he learned last time wasn't enough!"

Black mist surged in Amo's hand, and a long sword emerged from it. "The goddess is not to be defiled, and all men... those with ill intentions deserve to die!"

Black mist surged behind Xiaohe, and wisps of Nihility power leaked out from her suppressed rage. "That wretched man! Who allowed him to get so close!"

Dong Tian's expression was calm, as if he didn't care. Of course, if you ignored the jealousy and anger in his eyes, and the cracks left by his hand pressing against the white jade pillar. "All who come are guests. He is a guest, he is a guest. A guest should be put in his coffin."

In Dong Tian's other free hand Book of Fronny flipped silently and rapidly, and scenes recorded in the book appeared one by one. As long as Dong Tian activated it, this palace would become the environment described in the book.

While Akivili was talking to Ayinai, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine. He could sense that someone was watching him, just like being stared at by a venomous snake.

He turned around to see who was plotting against him, and then he saw the four people behind the white jade pillar. Power surged from their bodies, and their faces were filled with barely suppressed jealousy and anger.

At that moment, Akivili had to admit that He was afraid.
