Working as a consultant in the Ultra Universe

"Ugh……"

Gu Chen collapsed directly on the large sofa and let out a long sigh.

He knew that he would be tired these days, but he didn't expect it to be so tiring. It was far from as easy and comfortable as when he was just the supreme commander of the Earth Defense Force.

But this is not what makes Gu Chen feel most tired.

For four years, the Earth's Will has not sent back any news, no calls for help or warnings, but it has also not restored the energy supply to the Earth's Light.

It has been such a long time, hasn't the Earth's will yet uncovered what is hidden in the negative energy?

Thinking of this, Gu Chen sat up from the sofa and looked at the extremely deserted living room, wondering what he was thinking.

Ever since Gu Chen became busy, his home has been basically idle. Although Hoshino Yong would arrange people to come and clean it, the bustling popularity of the past is no longer there.

Gu Chen felt that living alone in this empty big house would always make him feel lonely and desolate.

Maybe I can take advantage of my free time and call my old friends to come here for a meal or something?

After all, Gu Chen has missed the reunion with his comrades for four consecutive years.

Just as Gu Chen was thinking this and was about to get up and call Hayata Jin and the others one by one, an inexplicable feeling arose from the depths of his heart, and then someone knocked on his door from outside.

dong dong dong... dong dong dong...

The dull knocking sound echoed in the deserted house, making Gu Chen feel a little strange.

Who could it be at this hour? Could it be the Shiratori family next door? I haven't heard that Higashi Kotaro has returned to the Land of Sakura.

And that inexplicable feeling in my heart...

Thinking of this, Gu Chen quickly walked to the entrance and opened the door.

The next second, his eyes widened.

"Ooohhhhhh!"

A small figure cried and threw himself into Gu Chen's arms, holding Gu Chen's waist tightly with both hands, then buried his face deeply in Gu Chen's arms, and then burst into tears even louder.

The crying sound made someone who didn't know what was going on think that someone was feeding their child stir-fried bamboo shoots with meat.

Gu Chen was also stunned. He looked at the figure crying loudly in his arms at a loss, with expressions of disbelief, shock, and disbelief flashing across his eyes.

This was not because of anything else, because the one crying loudly in Gu Chen's arms at this moment was none other than the incarnation of the Earth's will that had always appeared in front of Gu Chen.

That's the little girl in red clothes.

But...shouldn't the incarnation of the Earth's will be an emotionless loli?

Then who is this little girl in front of me who is crying with snot bubbles coming out of her nose?

"The will of the Earth?"

Amidst the wailing, Gu Chen spoke uncertainly and tentatively.

Hearing Gu Chen's voice, the little figure raised his head from Gu Chen's arms, looked at Gu Chen aggrieved and pitiful, then buried his face and burst into tears.

Okay, after confirming it through eye contact, humans are indeed the will of the Earth, but they are obviously not the emotionless will of the Earth in the past.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, you have to tell me what happened, right?"

Looking at the Earth Will crying non-stop, Gu Chen felt a little headache and tried to comfort it clumsily.

God bless him, he is really not good at coaxing people, but he is very good at playing with people's mentality.

However, the will of the earth is still obedient now. After hearing Gu Chen's words, it sobbed a few times and barely stopped crying, but it was still sobbing, and its expression was full of aggrievedness.

"Come in first, and tell me what happened and how you became like this?"

Gu Chen glanced at the clothes wet with the tears of the Earth Will with a strange expression. At the same time, he was also very curious about what the Earth Will had experienced in the past four years that turned the Earth Will, which was once emotionless and only divine, into the little crybaby it is today.

Following Gu Chen into the house, the Earth Will sat on the sofa with red eyes.

"I want something to drink... Oh, you shouldn't..."

"Orange juice, thank you."

The current appearance of the Earth Will made Gu Chen subconsciously treat it as an ordinary human girl, and he began to entertain her according to the established procedures.

However, what surprised Gu Chen was that the Earth Will was now really like a little human girl, asking him for a glass of orange juice.

After a while, a glass of fresh orange juice just poured out of the refrigerator was put into the hands of the Earth Will.

The Earth Will didn't hesitate and started drinking from the cup.

Gu Chen, who was watching this scene from the side, felt it was incongruous no matter how he looked at it.

Of course, this is based on the premise that he knows that the little girl in front of him is the will of the earth. If it were someone else, they would only think that this is an ordinary human little girl who has suffered great injustice.

Moreover, from the reply of the Earth Will, Gu Chen could hear the emotions contained in it, which was no longer the cold and emotionless tone as before.

Under Gu Chen's gaze, the Earth Will quickly drank the orange juice. Without putting down the glass, it turned its head to look at Gu Chen and said aggrievedly, "I almost couldn't come back. Wahhhhhhh..."

As it was speaking, the Will of the Earth suddenly burst into tears again.

Seeing this, Gu Chen wanted to say, "The fact that you can come back alive has far exceeded my expectations. I thought you would never come back." However, he was forced to hold back his words by the crying of the Earth's will.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. So what exactly happened? Shouldn't Earth be your home? How did you almost end up unable to return? Is the thing hidden in the sea of ​​negative energy so powerful?"

Gu Chen patted the Earth Will's back gently like coaxing a child, first said a few words of comfort in a gentle voice, and then couldn't help but started asking questions.

(Sobbing…)

The Earth Will sniffed, then choked out a sob, "Originally...it should have been like this, but that thing...that thing somehow acquired a portion of the Negative Energy Sea's essence. If it hadn't been discovered early, the Negative Energy Sea might have unknowingly become its own."

"Although I discovered him in time and lured him out during the previous baiting operation, after four years of confrontation, his strength has not diminished but increased. He now even occupies more than half of the source of the negative energy sea. If I hadn't followed your previous advice and conserved my energy, I would have been assimilated by him."

"Right now, I'm relying on the positive energy I inject into my body to barely offset the erosion of negative energy. So... it's not that I want to cry... it's that I can't control myself... Wahhhhhhhhhh..."

As the Earth Will spoke, it began to cry again.

After listening to the Earth Will's story, Gu Chen looked at the Earth Will with a very strange expression. He didn't know what to say for a moment, and just stared at the Earth Will and cried loudly.
