After reading the contents of the letter, Tao Yao frowned slightly.

She put the letter aside and her eyes fell on the gorgeous crown and exquisite ring again.

"In that case, this Crown of Origin should be for me."

As Tao Yao spoke, she gently stroked the sparkling gems on the crown with her fingers.

"And this ring..."

She paused, as if thinking about something.

"It seems that I am the one who chooses who to give it to..."

Taoyao turned her head to look at Xiaoxiao who was flying around.

"Xiao Xiao, do you think I understand it correctly?"

Hearing Taoyao's question, Xiaoxiao immediately flew over excitedly.

【Master, actually none of this matters! 】

There was obvious excitement in the small voice.

[The most important thing is this Crown of Origin, which allows you to better grasp the original authority! ]

She spun in the air and continued:

[And the original authority, in a certain sense, is the closest to the goddess.]

【As long as you wear it, you will become a new goddess! 】

[With all the functions of the system, you can also better transform popularity points into divine power, and then call upon divine power! ]

Xiaoxiao became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice was trembling.

【In this case, Master, you will no longer need to be restricted! 】

After listening to the brief explanation, Tao Yao nodded thoughtfully.

"Oh I see."

Taoyao's tone suddenly became playful.

"So as long as I wear this divine crown, then you, little one, will be completely useless to me, right?"

She continued in a deliberately serious tone:

"Then I can leave you alone."

Xiaoxiao's use to Taoyao has always been basically to be a tool who uses the goddess's power to influence the world line and modify the game process of "Fairy Journey".

She is like Taoyao's secretary, handling matters that Taoyao is not convenient to handle.

But in fact, this is only because Taoyao does not have the system functions, so it has to go through Xiaoxiao.

But if, after wearing this divine crown, she completely masters everything in the system, then Xiaoxiao will be useless.

From half waste to complete waste.

Hearing Tao Yao say this, Xiaoxiao's face changed instantly.

She was spinning around in the air so anxiously that her voice became a little shrill.

【Master! This is a little helpful!】

Xiaoxiao waved the small staff in the air desperately.

Even if you, Master, don't use Xiaoxiao to mobilize your divine power, Xiaoxiao can... can...

As it spoke, the small voice stopped hesitatingly.

For a moment, she couldn't say what she could do. After all, she seemed to be of little use to Tao Yao. She even often made things worse, forcing Tao Yao to clean up the mess.

Xiaoxiao was so anxious that she flew around in the air. She was really afraid that Taoyao would abandon her.

After all, if Taoyao really didn't need her anymore, where else could she go?

Seeing Xiaoxiao looking so anxious that she was about to cry, Taoyao couldn't help but chuckle.

"Okay! It was just a joke."

Taoyao's tone became much gentler.

"I'm used to having you around."

She stretched out her hand and let Xiaoxiao rest in her palm.

"Even if I can mobilize the full power of the Goddess without going through you, your presence is necessary."

Tao Yao paused deliberately, then said with a smirk:

"Well... at least... it could be a mascot or emergency food or something?"

When Xiaoxiao heard Taoyao say this, she became anxious.

[Master! Xiaoxiao is not an emergency food!]

She jumped up and down in Taoyao's palm angrily.

[Xiaoxiao is a useful system elf! Not some weird food!]

[Besides, it's so small, even if it were really used as emergency food, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps between our teeth!]

Seeing Xiaoxiao's anxious and angry look, Taoyao smiled even more happily.

"Okay, okay, I know you're not emergency food."

Tao Yao gently poked the little head with her finger.

"You are my most important partner, is this okay?"

After hearing Taoyao say this, Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief, but still muttered:

[Huh, Master, you're such a fool. You always like to make such excessive jokes.]

After joking with Xiaoxiao, Taoyao turned his attention back to the ring.

Her expression suddenly became serious.

"Back to business."

Tao Yao picked up the exquisite ring and carefully looked at the blue gem on it.

"Xiaoxiao, if we look at it from the perspective of the relationship between God and the apostles, then this ring is equivalent to being used by God's agent. It should be equally important."

She looked up at Xiaoxiao.

"Who do you think is better for me?"

Hearing Taoyao's question, Xiaoxiao answered without hesitation:

Is there any need to ask?

Xiao Xiao said in a matter-of-fact tone:

[This kind of thing is obviously prepared for the protagonist of "Fairy Journey", the silly Sakura that you, the master, have been taking care of!]

[After all, from the very beginning, Master, you have paid special attention to her.]

[And now in the gaming world, who else besides Feiying can be worthy of the title of God's Apostle? ]

After hearing Xiaoxiao's words, Taoyao did not deny it.

"Yes."

Taoyao nodded.

"According to what you said, there's no problem leaving it to Feiying."

Her expression became a little solemn.

"But the letter left by the goddess also stated that both the crown and the ring represent responsibility. They mean that we will eventually face the same problems that the goddess faced."

"And to this day, we still don't understand why the goddess died so easily."

Hearing Tao Yao's solemn words, Xiao Xiao paused in the air, and then asked in a tentative tone:

[So the master intends to leave it to Feiying? ]

There was a hint of uncertainty in her voice, as if she was waiting for Taoyao's final decision.

Tao Yao slowly shook her head and said calmly:

"No, I don't plan to leave it exclusively for her."

Hearing this answer, Xiao Xiao was stunned. She flew around in the air, with obvious confusion in her voice:

[Ah? Then who does the master intend to leave it to?]

Taoyao put the ring back to its original place, looked up at Xiaoxiao, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

“It doesn’t matter who you leave it to.”

Her voice became more steady.

"The important thing is that this thing comes with responsibility. And judging by the character I've shown in the game so far, if I want to make my character better, then I have to limit this object and not give it to anyone specifically."

Tao Yao paused and continued:

"After all, since the protagonists will come to the Kingdom of God sooner or later, if they can get this ring, it will naturally be considered their ability."

Xiaoxiao blinked, and her expression became even more confused:

[Master, Xiaoxiao still doesn't understand...]

There was a hint of grievance in her voice, and she was obviously confused by Taoyao's roundabout way of doing things.

Tao Yao stretched out her finger and gently tapped her little head, her tone becoming serious:

"You don't need to understand. You just need to know that I know this ring represents responsibility. So in the game plot, I have to let others know that I hope this responsibility will be borne only by me."

After saying this, Tao Yao picked up the exquisite ring again.

She closed her eyes and stroked the surface of the ring with her fingers, as if thinking about something.

After a moment, she opened her eyes and lightly ran her finger along the inside of the ring.

Two lines of exquisite small words slowly appeared on the inside of the ring:

"No living being in the world shall wear this ring."

"I bear all the suffering of all living beings!"

This line of words exudes a faint sacred light, and each word reveals a solemn and gentle power, as if carrying endless dedication and sacrifice.

Xiaoxiao watched Taoyao complete all this. When she saw Taoyao put the ring back into the treasure chest and just holding the envelope and the crown, she seemed to vaguely understand something.

She said somewhat depressedly:

"Master, you're really awkward. If you don't want others to hold the ring and bear the cost, why do you do this unnecessary thing?"

The small voice became even smaller, with a hint of complaint:

[Why not just hide this ring? Why act like this...?]

Hearing Xiaoxiao's low complaints, Taoyao raised the corners of her mouth slightly and tapped Xiaoxiao's forehead lightly with her fingertips.

"Xiao Xiao, you're itching again after not having a fight for a few days, right?!"

There was a clear threat in Taoyao's tone, but her eyes were full of doting.

Xiao Xiao was sent spinning in the air, then she lowered her head obediently, pouted her lips, and muttered unconvincedly:

[I'm telling the truth...]

Tao Yao looked at Xiao Xiao's aggrieved expression and couldn't help but chuckle, then became serious:

"Alright. Xiaoxiao, leave a Primordial Petal and some guardians here. And help me set up some complex hidden puzzles for this treasure chest. Keep this treasure chest safe and don't let anyone find it easily."

Her tone became serious and solemn:

"Remember, this puzzle must be difficult enough, but not completely unsolvable. It must take someone truly determined, after sufficient effort and trials, to find it."

After explaining these things, Taoyao left the room first, leaving Xiaoxiao busy alone in the temple.

Looking at Taoyao's leaving back, Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think in her heart:

[Her owner is quite complicated. He clearly just wanted to give the ring away, but he had to make it so complicated.]

Xiaoxiao flew a few circles in the air, and suddenly an idea came to her mind:

[How about... I help the master with some minor improvements? ]

Thinking of this, Xiaoxiao flapped her elf wings and gently waved the small magic wand in her hand. A soft light emanated from the tip of the wand, and began to set up a complex magic circle in the room.

……

After Taoyao left the temple, she waited outside for a while before Xiaoxiao followed.

"How did things go?"

Taoyao turned to look at Xiaoxiao who had flown onto her shoulder, with a questioning tone in her voice.

Xiaoxiao patted her chest and said proudly:

[Don't worry, Master! Xiaoxiao hid the treasure chest well and even set up three puzzle levels!]

There was a hint of pride in her voice:

【We will never let any unqualified person get it easily! 】
