Chapter 411 - 321: The Fool’s Arrival on Blue Star
The intelligence is limited, but knowing that Eleven and Nine have conflicts is enough. As for other Apostles’ information, it remains a mystery to Xue Dili.
However, he still has enough time. Nine is the first to die, but certainly not the last.
Yet this time, it also served as a reminder for him. In the future, he must hide himself well when taking action, and avoid making enemies with any Apostles, otherwise, he would be the first suspected when he makes a move.
After pondering for a while, Xue Dili also realized that although being part of the Mist Council, Apostles seem to have their small cliques, internally a loose sand, and they are still willing to strike against their own people.
They might even fight fiercely over pasturelands.
He rubbed his forehead, suddenly pausing, wondering why he’s been thinking about using schemes and intrigues all the time.
It seems since Greece, he’s gotten used to schemes and conspiracies, but his intrigues are not vicious enough, not skillful enough, as this time they almost cost him his own suit.
Perhaps it is time to seek some wisdom from Odysseus.
After finishing these thoughts, Xue Dili looked out the window; the sky was turning light, the morning’s moisture carried a slight chill.
He glanced at the schedule; today is full of classes, and tomorrow, there’s a rescheduled class, to make up for the missing classes due to the seven-day long holiday.
Xue Dili: "..."
After battling wits with Apostles, does he now have to battle wits with teachers?
Or, should he escape?
...
During breakfast, seeing the drowsy Little Dragon Lady, White Crow, and the Siam trio, and Fafnir who was reviewing notes on modern history even while eating, Xue Dili finally started to relax from thinking about the Apostles.
"By the way, where’s that child?" Aunt wiped the drool mark at the corner of Little Dragon Lady’s mouth while asking Xue Dili.
Aunt was naturally asking about Xue Dili’s little daughter, whom they had met, the Insect-devouring Tree.
Xue Dili then remembered that unlucky child, whom he almost forgot since she didn’t speak for so long in the Consciousness Space, seemingly after converting the Ninth Apostle’s corpse into Golden Kekla.
Worried something might have happened, he quickly checked the Consciousness Space, only to find Little Tree Lady seemingly asleep, which felt eerie to him—would a tree sleep? Shouldn’t she lack this function?
Soon, Xue Dili noticed a change in the Seed of the World, the seed had cracked, seemingly sprouting a sapling on the Seed of the World.
Visible even to the naked eye, the sapling was gradually growing stronger.
He then remembered what his mom had said—the Ninth Apostle’s body aids Little Tree Lady’s growth and Transformation.
After all, the Divine Tree relies on devouring Spirituality to bloom and bear fruit, and an Apostle’s half-body is one of the most spiritual treasures.
Returning to the room, Xue Dili explained: "She should be transforming into a human form, in a few days she might come out."
"Hooray, a sister is coming! I’m no longer the youngest!" Little Dragon Lady said with hands on hips, posing as if she was ready to be a big sister, seemingly not quite satisfied with being the youngest member of the family.
Though she was actually half a head taller than Fafnir, it was only because Fafnir was too short.
Xue Dili pinched this little one’s face hard, suspecting that even when Little Tree Lady arrives home, this silly child will still be twirled around by her little sister.
Oh well, let them be.
As he prepared for school and left the house, Fafnir suddenly said: "Teacher, I have an exam tomorrow, it’s two days long."
"Hmm?" Xue Dili looked at this child, then remembered he also had to attend school tomorrow, so he said, "Then I’ll take you to the exam hall tomorrow, it’s over by the tech building, which I’m familiar with."
"Okay!" Fafnir immediately left excitedly, seemingly revitalized to continue studying.
Imagining her reaction when she learns that part-time university students and full-time university students have completely staggered class schedules, Xue Dili suddenly felt a little urge to tease her.
But given the circumstances, he decided to head to class first.
...
Meanwhile, as Xue Dili attended class, watching the Seed of the World sprouting and growing.
A stumbling Teleportation Gate opened in Jiang City.
Old Undead Barak, upon the instant of opening the gate, saw bustling streets teeming with traffic, delivery guys zipping like yellow flashes along the roads, all sorts of shops and signs in an impressive array.
And that familiar sweet fragrant air!
"Heehee, it’s working! Alola, look! I told you this coordinate was fine, it worked! Everything worked! That naturally evil little Xue brat, and Da Gu, I’m Barak, I’m back! I finally found my way here!" the old man exclaimed nearly jumping for joy.
Seeing these familiar vehicles and streets, Old Barak was overwhelmed with tears.
He finally returned here, back to the world where his dream began.
Here is Xue, Da Gu, and Diga, the guardian God, and endless fascinating and wonderful things, it’s like his Eden. To Old Barak, the Empire and that world really held no attachments long ago.
If it weren’t for Alola, he wouldn’t have cared about anything from that side, he always wanted to discover Earth’s coordinates, he missed this world like a second homeland.
Whether it was the naturally evil Xue or Da Gu.
