Rebirth: I can easily control the end-of-the-world game

Chapter 696 [Land of Grace] 18

"W—" The sound reminded Feng Lan of the seabed, a buzzing sound like it came from the deep sea through layers of water pipes, emerging from the surface, crisp and long.

In an instant, the already dark sky became even darker, torrential rain poured down, and the water level rose rapidly. In the blink of an eye, the water level had submerged the shops, and just a step away, separated by a layer of array, the plain had turned into the seabed.

"What a strange sound." Bi Ke moved and looked into the distance.

Feng Lan looked in the direction Bi Ke was looking, focusing her energy field on her ears. She knew that Bi Ke had the best hearing among the three. After a while, Feng Lan finally heard a sound.

"music."

Feng Lan heard a faint melody, indistinct and unclear, yet the first second it evoked images of a solemn and magnificent temple, and a deity sitting with his head bowed.

The calico cat heard it too. Her ears perked up, her gaze still fixed on the moon jellyfish, her long broom-like tail slapping relaxedly behind her. "Divine Sound, the gods have arrived."

Feng Lan keenly noticed that the calico cat didn't use the honorific "Your Excellency" when addressing the deity like other cats. She knew that this calico cat was very wealthy. In this world, being wealthy meant having extensive information, being knowledgeable, and being powerful.

Feng Lan didn't ask any more questions. The enormous moon jellyfish quickly left, its tentacles at least fifty meters long, its translucent ribbons shimmering in the water.

But there was more than one moon jellyfish; they were densely packed together. Through the swaying waves, countless moon jellyfish drifted by, their bright crowns illuminating the seabed.

The divine voice became even clearer.

In the darkness, Feng Lan seemed to hear a hundred flowers blooming and a hundred birds singing, and a hazy figure appeared there.

"Buzz—" Feng Lan's space trembled, her heart skipped a beat, and one of the items jumped out uncontrollably, so fast that Feng Lan didn't have time to grab it.

"Found you, Yuanji." The flying statue grew larger, transforming into a body that Feng Lan was very familiar with: a beast's head, a human body, feathered wings, and a fish tail. When it spoke, its voice seemed to have been soaked through a cold spring in the dead of night, carrying a heavy power and a low, resonant sound that reminded one of a wild beast.

It was the Beast God she had seen on the road to the Land of Time and Marrow. Feng Lan's bad premonition finally came true, and her outstretched hand froze.

【Beast God Statue (S): A statue from a deity. You can pray to it, and perhaps the deity will respond.】

The fading divine music lingers here, and the drifting moonlight jellyfish also stays here.

"...Night Watch?" Yuanji stopped. He hadn't expected Night Watch to find this place. Instinctively, he tried to dodge, but the surrounding sea surged and encircled him. A tall figure appeared behind him, a sharp, webbed hand gripping his shoulder to prevent him from escaping. The flowers in his hair fell as if startled. His lips parted slightly, but he couldn't utter a word. "I..."

"This is the world I created, Yuanji, you can't escape it." The wide and flexible fish tail wrapped around the unresisting god, and the water flow obscured the two gods. By the time the moonlight jellyfish frantically gathered together, the two protagonists had already disappeared from the spot.

Feng Lan only heard these things; she couldn't even see the faces of the two gossipy protagonists clearly. The hazy halo obscured their faces. Then, the seawater rippled wave after wave. The only thing that could be seen was the moon jellyfish frantically searching for the god's whereabouts. After a long time, these servants who had always followed the god had no choice but to accept the fact that they had been abandoned and stood there blankly.

The gods have vanished.

After a while, the jellyfish, still unable to find the gods, continued along their original route. The rainy season had only just begun.

"Wow, emotional debt." The calico cat waited until all the moon jellyfish had gone far away before speaking softly with shining eyes. Her honey-like amber eyes looked at Feng Lan. She remembered that the alien god had flown out from Feng Lan's body. She clicked her tongue twice and said, "You're really amazing."

Feng Lan calmly licked her fur, but her mind was already overloaded. Faced with the calico cat's curiosity, she just smiled and said, "Haha, I'll tell you, I don't know either, do you believe me?"

The calico cat had a "Of course I don't believe it" look on its face. "I understand, meow. I'm going home now~ See you again sometime."

"Cuckoo..."

The water spirit drove the carriage away.

Looking at the empty shop and her vanished item, the Beast God Statue, Feng Lan felt utterly overwhelmed. She muttered to herself, "I got ripped off for free..."

She thought the statue was a gift to harmonize the world, but it turned out to be a prop used to help with positioning. Feng Lan tried her best not to have any bad feelings.

She sorted things out, and the situation wasn't too bad. At least the relationship between the Beast God and the gods of this world didn't seem like that of enemies. She shouldn't be angered by the gods and driven out for bringing the Beast God in.

"Hmm, they probably don't have time to kick me out..." Feng Lan muttered to herself. Even the calico cat could tell there was some illicit affair going on, so Feng Lan naturally understood as well.

Compared to the calico cat, who cannot directly face the true face of the gods, Fenglan sees more, hears more, and can analyze more details.

Of course, the worst outcome for Feng Lan is that she will be expelled from this instance by the gods. Seeing that there will be no customers today, Feng Lan, who has no mood to open the shop, simply closes down the general store.

"Click."

With the arrival of the sea, the snow on the plains melted into water and mixed into the seawater. The glowing light of the bioluminescent plants replaced sunlight to illuminate the seabed.

"Sizzle..." Several dark plants sprouted from the cracks in the bricks at the door. Without sunlight, in the pitch-black seabed, they quickly grew to the size of an adult's palm.

In some far, deep, dark, and cold places, some dark plants have brazenly taken over the seabed, squeezing out the growth space for bioluminescent plants.

Upon seeing the plants, Bi Ke stretched out his tentacles, plucked one up, and ate it raw. His eyes lit up, "This tastes pretty good! Let's take it back and eat it!"

“Okay.” Feng Lan nodded, temporarily putting the matter of the Beast God out of her mind. The three of them, including herself and Bi Kehuahua, could eat anything and were not afraid of being poisoned.

Just taking it back to eat is not enough for a big eater at home. Since Fenglan is a cat, she doesn't like her fur getting wet, so she simply isolates herself from water and creates a dry air pocket.

Compared to Bi Ke's happiness, Feng Lan furtively scanned the area with her divine sense, and after confirming that she had not seen any deities or heard any divine sounds, she felt a little relieved.

But deep down, Feng Lan had already made up her mind to move as soon as she got back. She would move from here to the other side of the world, as far away as possible.

"Om..."

"Hey, is there an earthquake?" Bi Ke quickly picked up a dark mushroom. Suddenly, the seabed shook, and the deep blue seabed, which was almost pitch black, suddenly lit up.

Feng Lan squinted and sized her up.

It wasn't that the seawater became brighter; rather, the color of the seawater lightened, from deep blue to light blue, and finally turned into a tender green almost like spring. On the seabed, a large amount of vegetation grew rapidly, and Feng Lan could feel the abundant vitality all around. This vitality continuously stimulated the plants to grow, sprout, and bloom.

It seems that spring has arrived at the bottom of the sea.

“Grass…” (a plant) Feng Lan, as a deity, remained silent for a long time before uttering a dry word.

Good news, we don't need to move anymore.

Even better news: she'll definitely get a big red envelope when she leaves this instance.
