This goddess, who suddenly appeared in the world, looks extremely similar to the Heavenly Palace Above the Clouds. However, with the addition of various sacred Halo and special effects, the goddess in front of us has a more divine quality.
A halo hung behind her, radiating dazzling light. A magnificent crown, radiating seven-colored light, adorned her head, while her splendid robes made her appear even more divine.
Like a god who pities the world, her so-called divinity seems to completely obscure her humanity.
"Subjects?"
Although the goddess's appearance was quite glamorous, and she exuded an incredibly kind and benevolent Halo, Li Xingkong's impression of her dropped by three points from just one sentence she uttered.
Only those who consider themselves superior would refer to others as their subjects.
In her eyes, all life in this world is her private property.
"It's the goddess! The goddess has appeared!"
Li Xingkong hasn't made any move yet, but those who saw the Divine Light have already bowed their heads and knelt down like wheat.
The title of goddess is still too effective, especially since this really is in the world she created.
She took the crowd's kneeling and worship for granted, as if it were the proper thing to do.
"Outsider, you shouldn't have laid a hand on my people. Though you are strong, this is my Minecraft, and I will protect them until the very end."
With a wave of her scepter, the surrounding celestial phenomena changed. Dark clouds seemed to appear out of nowhere, obscuring the entire sky, leaving only a ray of sunlight to pierce through the clouds and fall upon her.
"No... are you sure you're not mistaken...?"
Li Xingkong was speechless. Why did this guy seem like he had just woken up? He didn't know anything about the situation.
Logically speaking, as the god of this dream world, even if not Omniscience, he should at least know a fair amount of the facts.
"My Goddess, the traveler is not targeting your people; on the contrary, he is saving them."
Standing to the side, Ajieta, who had been in a daze for a long time, seemed to have come to her senses. She quickly stepped forward, bowed to the goddess, and then began to explain.
"It's you! Xiaolong, I remember you. You were so small and cute back then."
The goddess looked at Ajieta carefully for a few moments before recognizing her.
"But how did you get so big? Did I sleep for that long?"
Perhaps because she had met someone she knew, she didn't act as dignified as before, and instead became a little playful.
"Hmm, it's been a long time. Since you fell into slumber, the Poison of Corruption began to corrupt the world, and since then, we've never heard your response again."
" The Poison of Corruption?"
Seemingly to save face, she held back what she wanted to say, waved her scepter, and transformed Li Xingkong and the others into a ball of light, rising into the sky.
Having crossed the barriers of the world, I once again arrived in that chaotic realm filled with Mist.
Perhaps because there was less attention from others, the goddess seemed much more at ease.
"What is the Poison of Corruption? What happened during my years of slumber? Tell me quickly."
She acted like a listener waiting for a bard to begin his story, her eyes filled with curiosity.
Li Xingkong originally thought that this girl's choice to release the Poison of Corruption in this way was intentional, but now it seems that she was just trying to escape.
This wasn't the goddess Ajieta remembered. In her mind, the goddess was gentle, holy, omnipotent, and the center of the world. But now, she didn't seem like a goddess at all; she seemed more like a little girl who had just woken up.
But none of this is fake. Her power, her ability to make the world turn with every gesture, all prove that she is a true goddess.
Ajieta recounted the story of the Poison of Corruption to the goddess from beginning to end. As the goddess listened, her face turned from white to red, her cheeks growing increasingly red, and she even showed a hint of shame.
She only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Li Xingkong had absorbed all the Poison of Corruption.
"I see... I didn't consider that."
The goddess looked ashamed.
"I don't know where these things came from. My current slumber is actually related to them. Heavenly Capital find these things somehow appearing in my room, and I can't get rid of them no matter how I clean them. That's why I moved to another place and rested for a while..."
A hint of doubt flashed across Ajieta's face as she looked at Li Xingkong.
Li Xingkong understood what she wanted to ask from her eyes.
The goddess seemed completely unaware that she was dreaming; she genuinely believed this was the world she had created.
Or rather, after the person in the real world fell asleep, they did not impart all their memories to the goddess before them; she only had knowledge of this world, and knew nothing else.
No wonder she felt that Li Xingkong was doing bad things to the people of this world.
Sending people to another world using physical methods...
To someone unaware of the dangers, this thing looks like murder.
"In that case, I really have to thank you. I still don't know your name, traveler?"
Li Xingkong.
After hearing the whole story about the dream, the goddess's attitude towards Li Xingkong clearly changed.
He helped solve the problem of the Poison of Corruption, so we should definitely thank him.
"I am the Shengxin, the creator of this world. I had been asleep for some time, and I am truly grateful for your help."
"Emmm"
Looking at this goddess who knew nothing about the outside world, Li Xingkong felt that telling her the truth was surprisingly cruel.
Moreover, Li Xingkong couldn't guarantee that knowing the truth wouldn't trigger a chain of memories, causing her to wake up from her dream.
You should know that once a person realizes they are dreaming, they are not far from waking up.
After a moment's consideration, Li Xingkong decided to tell a lie to explain the situation.
"Although the Poison of Corruption has been cured, my methods only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. The world, ravaged by the toxin for many years, is already in grave danger. Therefore, the only option is to find a way to relocate the people from the world and save them first."
"They're being moved out... but if they're moved out, will they ever come back?"
The Shengxin Goddess was clearly a little reluctant. From the moment she created this world, she watched it flourish and grow, and little by little, she watched it become full of life. And now, because of the world's original nature, she had to watch this world's life be transferred. How could she bear to do that?
"They can't come back, but you can come and visit them often."
Li Xingkong told a lie. After the events shift to reality, they will naturally meet again once she wakes up.
But by then, will the personality that dominates the goddess's body still be the Shengxin we see now? That's uncertain.
