I would rather betray the gods

The roots, though not exposed to light, grow in the soil before the branches and leaves.

Strong root systems result in lush branches and leaves.

After digging up the soil and checking the roots and shoots that had sprouted from a few branches, Yu Zi carefully filled the soil back in and then sprinkled a few grains of fertilizer about a finger's width deep. "Use fertilizer like this, don't use too much or the sapling will be burned."

"What's that?"

Yu Bulai pointed at the pomelo's wrist and asked.

"A watch, for telling time."

The pomelo winds up automatically when you shake it.

"Give it to me, I'm here alone and have no sense of time."

Even if it doesn't rain, we can still shoulder the great responsibility of planting trees, and we should do so with a clear conscience.

Without saying a word, she picked the pomelo and gave it to him.

"Boss, even though these willows sprout pretty quickly, this planet is so big, it'll take me forever to plant them all!"

The rain, not coming, imitated its own actions, waving its hand as it spoke, automatically winding itself up.

Youzi didn't answer him. She looked at the willow branches that were about to sprout on both sides. On one side was the shimmering water and on the other side was the soft yellow sand. She imagined the willow branches turning into big trees and the yellow sand turning into soil.

Then I walked slowly along the water's edge, one step at a time, until I reached the last willow branch, where I sat down and quietly watched the buds on the branch.

In the past, he would watch the trees he planted, watching the buds sprout branches and leaves, and then watching other buds grow on the branches and leaves, and he would watch like that for a whole day.

The rain did not come; it followed his footprints and sat with him by the willow branch, watching him look at the tree.

Time slipped away silently, and the minute hand on the watch completed a full circle in the blink of an eye.

To Yu Bu Lai's surprise, Yu Zi not only showed no signs of fatigue but became increasingly engrossed in watching.

It felt as if the tree in front of me was not a tree but a world, and the person in front of me was not him but the creator who understood this world.

"I understand. Your level of attainment wasn't achieved through deliberate effort; it was a natural connection between the two worlds that arose from your state of mind reaching that point!"

The absence of rain brought a sudden sense of peace and clarity.

Ok?

Yuzu didn't understand what he meant, but she could tell he was praising her. But she just liked to stare at the branches in a daze.

"If you have a cup but don't fill it, you're out of your mind." He quickly wiped the "confused look" off his face, pretended to be profound, and nodded without thinking. He was just putting on an act!

"From now on, I will take the leader as my role model, diligently cultivate my character, and refine my inner path!"

As Yu Bulai spoke, he stuffed his beloved phone into his pocket.

"That's incredibly insightful," Yuzu thought, giving him a thumbs-up as she realized she could skip a thousand words of lecturing. "And another thing..."

"Just say it, boss!"

Rain didn't come, but his expression remained serious and focused.

"The Bulaixing is the vital passage from the Creation Ruins to the Half Heaven. Cultivate more talents who will only obey your orders."

Yuzu originally wanted to say that she would only be loyal to him, the God-King, but then she thought better of it.

Having led troops before, Yu Bulai understood immediately and covered his chest, saying, "Don't worry, boss. The gods who reside on Bulai Star will only be loyal to God King Pisces, and the people who reside on Bulai Star will only worship one god, who is also God King Pisces."

"Don't put it on me, I find it troublesome. You are the ancestral god here, all I need is you."

As Yuzu spoke, she habitually raised her wrist to check the time, only to remember that she had already given away her watch, so she took out her phone to check it.

I was shocked when I checked. My phone, in silent mode, showed over ten missed calls from Dai Tianhe and four or five from Arisen...

Earth.

Yuzu followed the two people's scent and teleported to a grove of trees.

They pushed aside the weeds and crossed the stream before finally finding the two of them in a small open space.

It's quite shocking; both of them were hung upside down from a tree, stripped naked except for their shorts.

Aresen gets better treatment, including an extra pair of glasses.

The people who hoisted them were humane enough to leave them their cell phones; otherwise, in this desolate wilderness, they would have either frozen to death or been skinned alive by wild animals by nightfall.

"Are you two alright?"

Seeing that the two of them were "drowsy", Yuzu asked them softly, afraid that raising her voice would scare them.

Dai Tianhe was the first to shudder, rubbing his eyes to make sure it wasn't a hallucination before letting out a sigh, then said wistfully, "Oh, thank goodness you still remember us~"

With both of them in this state, how could Yuzu bring herself to make excuses? But she couldn't tell the truth or she would expose her identity, so she simply untied the ropes and threw them both over, making them so dazed that they forgot about the incident.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yuzu teleported home and grabbed two bottles of mineral water for them to rehydrate. "Who's so bold as to kidnap you two?"

"Cat's Eye Lorota".

Aresen gulped down the mineral water, then weakly crawled to a nearby garment and pulled a letter from his pocket to give to Yuzu.

"Is it specially made for me?"

Yuzu looked at the words "[For the Special Envoy of the God King]" on the envelope and was extremely surprised.

"That's right. Not only did Rorota withdraw from [White Galaxy], but he also said that no one in the guild could defeat him except for you, the God King's envoy, so he challenged you to a battle." Dai Tianhe also found his clothes and put them on.

Yuzu understood. Was Lorota planning to dominate the world of superpowers? Before dominating, he needed to eliminate what he perceived as obstacles.

But how come he suddenly thinks he's invincible again after only a short time since he was defeated?

The roots must be kept out of the light!

Like the saplings on the planet Bulai, Rorota is just the exposed branches and leaves, with a root system supporting him behind.

Yuzu thought to himself that he couldn’t think of any other reason that could make Lorota so arrogant.

Unbeknownst to her, the letter in Yuzu's hand was tightly clenched into a rolled-up piece of paper...

By the time I finished everything and got home, it was already midnight.

Fang Yuan usually finishes her live stream in about half an hour, but today she ended it much earlier.

I have a bad feeling about this.

[Are you there? I got back late today and missed your live stream!]

He sent a message to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan was lying on the bed, feeling down and lost in thought, all because Youzi hadn't appeared in the live stream.

She even wondered if Yuzi was out fooling around, hugging one woman on each side.

As I thought about it, tears welled up in my eyes.

Despite her grumbling and longing, she felt much better when she finally received a message from Yuzu.

She really wanted to tell him that her live stream only had one viewer, and everyone else was just a random passerby who sent gifts, and that viewer hadn't come today.

【Humph! 】

If she weren't so aggrieved, she really wouldn't have bothered to send such a message to Yuzu, because she knew her big Yuzu was usually very, very busy.

Oh no, I've upset the girl!

With just one word, Youzi deciphered the intricate connections between Fang Yuan and the person behind it.

Perhaps this is what it means to be of one mind.

Yuzu felt extremely guilty and scratched her head, at a loss for what to do.

【Are you very tired? Do you want to get some rest?】 Fang Yuan sent another message shortly after.

The fact that she calmed down without even trying to appease her and then started showing concern for others made Yuzu feel even more inadequate in her role.

He has to keep writing every day, both on and off Earth, which is indeed physically and mentally exhausting, but whenever he hears news about her, he forgets all his troubles and feels only happiness and joy.

Although he thought that way, he never said it to her, afraid that she wouldn't believe him and would think he was just being glib.

Then, without realizing it, the two chatted until after 2 a.m.

Finally, Fang Yuan told Youzi that her mother was going to take her to see a feng shui master the next day.

First, she hasn't been feeling well lately; her periods have been irregular.

Firstly, since they hadn't met yet, she didn't dare tell her family that she was in a relationship, fearing they would think she was crazy for falling in love with someone she had never even met. So her mother always thought she was still single.

Because of all this, her mother suspected that she had been possessed by some evil spirit and that she had to take her to see a doctor tomorrow.

Hopefully, the fortune teller who will read your face tomorrow is skilled enough~

Finally, Yuzu sent Fang Yuan this message, her mind heavy with worry.

What does that mean?

Fang Yuan asked, yawning, her answer still unclear.

It's nothing, just hoping the fortune teller won't spout nonsense tomorrow. Goodnight.

You can't point it out directly, so you just made up an excuse.

He happened to be reading a book about fortune telling at the Pisces Palace recently.

The book describes the dangers of mortals fortune-telling for gods, but the description focuses on a god at a lower level, not someone like Fang Yuan...
