The apocalypse begins with a dungeon game.

Chapter 233 Do the Dwarf Planets Have Guardian Spirits?

"despair."

The giant golden time compass, which had been paused in the dungeon game world, resumed its operation, and the clear sound of its pointer jumping echoed in the empty space.

The dwarf Jack remained in the same posture as before Li Can left, and only after everything was restored was he able to move freely.

"Where are you going, Mr. Player?"

He vividly remembered asking the question just moments before.

Yet, I feel somewhat unfamiliar with my surroundings, as if a very long time has passed? It's strange.

The echo of the question still lingered in the space.

Just as he closed his surprised mouth, he saw Li Can, who had left a second earlier, suddenly walk out from the very center of the time compass.

Li Can was no different from when she left.

At least Jack couldn't tell the difference.

"Mr. Player? Did you... leave or stay, or did you fail...?" Jack asked cautiously, looking at Li Can's good expression, completely clueless about what had happened.

This was far beyond the collective understanding of their dwarf planet; they had never experienced such a miracle there.

But Li Can seemed to be in a very good mood. After coming out of the passage, he landed directly.

He retrieved the time compass, which had transformed into a small, unremarkable round dial with wooden trim around its metal body.

"Of course it was a success, Jack. Here, this jar is for you. From now on, when I'm not around, use this guiding seed to restore the memories of the other dungeon NPCs."

"...There are some things to note here, let me tell you..." Li Can explained everything to Jack in such detail.

The information density was comparable to letting Jack read a paper on the spot, and the more Jack listened, the more excited he became.

He was so happy at the thought of getting revenge that he almost jumped for joy.

"Mr. Player, you are truly outstanding. I have never seen anyone like you before. With your leadership, we will definitely succeed in our counterattack. I am full of confidence now."

Jack was overjoyed; he couldn't wait to set off.

"Hahaha." Li Can laughed, not taking it seriously. The real expert here wasn't him, but A-Yun.

But he doesn't need to explain that much to Jack right now.

"Sir player, was the move you just used a treasure born from your planet, like our dwarven race's [Wings of Longevity]?"

Despite the risk of crossing the line, Jack mustered the courage to ask Li Can the question he most wanted to ask.

"Is this what attracted the pseudo-aliens, right?"

Although Jack didn't know much about Li Can and Lan Xing, he also didn't know what move Li Can had just used.

However, he could tell from this that there must be extremely terrifying energy present.

Otherwise, how could Li Can, as a player, conjure up a jar of traction seeds and give it to him in the blink of an eye?

Li Can didn't hide anything; he could use the laws of time and the techniques in the secret manuals, so it was impossible to conceal it.

Once someone pays attention and takes action, anyone with eyes can tell what's going on.

They can even tell which school or sect you belong to just by looking at the moves you make.

"That's right, that's why we have to rebel, Jack." Li Can patted Jack on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"One day, we will reclaim what we have lost, and we will take back the Wings of Longevity from your dwarf planet."

When Li Can mentioned the "Wings of Longevity," Jack's heart inexplicably clenched.

He touched his empty chest; sunlight streamed through his suit jacket, penetrating from his back to his chest, where the sun shone brightly.

"It's my fault for not doing a good enough job. As the new chieftain, I have just taken office and led my people through such trauma. I will use all my remaining strength to fight those insect people to the very end."

Ever since Jack heard Li Can's message about the insects' lifespan, he has hated them even more.

"Yes, the original pseudo-alien, who transformed from an insect, could only maintain that form for a few years. Now, with the [Wings of Longevity], they've become the longest-living beings in the entire universe. How ironic."

"Those are clearly yours."

"We haven't even counted how many other planetary treasures the pseudo-aliens have stolen..."

"By the way, Jack, I want to ask you a question," Li Can changed the subject.

Jack held the glass jar with the faded yellow label that Li Can had given him, and answered very reverently:

"Please ask me, sir, I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

"You are not only my savior, but also the benefactor of our entire clan. I will not hide anything from you."

Jack's formal response startled Li Can for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he blurted out, "If a treasure like the [Wings of Longevity] was born on the dwarf planet, have you ever encountered a guardian spirit that appeared in your real life?"

Li Can asked the question in the same manner as A-Yun.

Based on the information he currently possesses, in addition to the existence of guardian spirits on Earth, there are also guardian spirits on pseudo-stars.

Therefore, it is highly probable that similar situations exist on other planets as well.

Li Can wanted to take this opportunity to verify with Jack.

"Guardian... spirit?" Jack felt very unfamiliar with this word. He thought and recalled for a long time, seemingly searching his mind for any information about guardian spirits.

"I'm sorry, sir, I haven't heard of it, but... I can ask our former dwarf chieftain later."

"If we ever have the chance to meet again, I will tell you the answer."

When Jack said there was a chance to meet again, he was referring to two people: the old clan chief and Li Can.

If one of these things is not done, the whole thing will fail.

"Okay, or if you remember any relevant clues, you can contact me anytime before I leave the instance."

"Also, before you die, do you remember what the ecology of the dwarf planet has become? Has everything changed?" Li Can added.

If it weren't for the unprecedented devastation suffered by Earth, and the fact that the pseudo-aliens deliberately forced A-Yun to reveal herself and hand over the [Law of Time],

Li Can believes that even among all the humans in the world, perhaps no one will ever know of the existence of the guardian spirits of Blue Star.

Because Ayun won't show up on her own initiative.

In this respect, the situation on the dwarf planet should be similar.

If it can be confirmed indirectly that their overall planetary ecosystem has not been severely damaged and has not threatened the guardian spirit of the dwarf planet, then this guardian spirit is very likely still hidden.

Who would care if a few ants were fighting in their own territory?

Whether they are native ants or imported ants, they are fighting over a piece of bread, and in the end, a winner emerges.

From God's perspective, guardian spirits are just something to watch for fun.

You might even find it a bit boring and too lazy to observe...
