It's so painful! So hard! So difficult!

"Ok?"

"Let's not look at this from your perspective for now. If you simply ask me if it's appropriate, I will of course answer yes. The reason gods are gods is that everything we do and say is without hesitation or regret."

"Even if there are people we couldn't save, things we couldn't accomplish, even if there are many regrets, we won't regret them. The gods all follow their own creeds and do what they want. As a human, I wander the world at my own will. I don't necessarily do good deeds, but simply follow my heart and obey my will."

The wild god's bland narration was filled with some ethereal and obscure things, which made Bai Lin at a loss for words. She looked at the other person's calm eyes, thought for a while, and asked,

"You mean God just does whatever he wants? Isn't that too casual?"

The God of Wilderness chuckled and looked at Bai Lin and said,

"That's a very typical answer from you. You're partly right. We act according to our hearts, but we're not random. Whether it's the evil gods or the local gods, they all act according to their own creeds, formed through years of accumulated thinking."

"For example, let's say there's a god who believes that everyone in the world deserves death, and that he can only kill them one by one with a three-inch-long dagger. He will do this without hesitation. No matter who it is, he can't be shaken. This has nothing to do with justice or morality. It's simply because he is a god. What he believes in and practices is what is most correct to him."

"For me, going to different places to help others or doing something that I believe in is the right thing to do."

After saying this, Bai Lin fell into deep thought again. After about ten seconds, she looked at Huang Shen and asked seriously,

"I think I understand what you mean. God himself is a kind of rule-like existence that cannot be shaken, right?"

"Well, that's about it. We have our own ideas, but we won't be swayed."

The thought in Bai Lin's eyes faded away. She seemed to have gotten the answer, but also seemed to understand nothing. There was a hint of disappointment on her face. Huang Shen saw this and said quickly to Bai Lin,

"I understand what you're thinking, Bai Lin. Gods are likely to do things that are immoral to humans. A large portion of gods, when fully presented to humans, are probably not perfect. So, these gods possess immense power. When they interfere with humanity at will, what should humans do? What qualifications do they have to decide humanity's fate?"

Bai Lin was slightly startled as his thoughts were revealed, but he didn't express it too much. As the God of Wilderness said, gods weren't necessarily good to humans. Just as some gods helped people, some could also harm them.

"Let me give you the answer. It's actually not that difficult. Perhaps this appearance makes you think that a god like me is actually similar to a human, very close to you, but in reality, gods are indeed beings of a higher level."

"When a god wants to disrupt the human world, you really can't do anything about it, but there will most likely be another god who will intervene. But what if the other gods can't stop it? Then you'll have to rely on yourselves. While an ant can't kill a giant, if they diligently gnaw away at the base, they can still cause a building to collapse, destroying all life."

After hearing this, Bai Lin's brows jumped. She pursed her lower lip, rolled her eyes, spread her hands again, and said to the God of Desolation,

"This analogy is truly unpleasant to the ear, yet there's no way to refute it. Indeed, from the current perspective, humans have little room to struggle before God, and you're right. But aren't you essentially instigating me to kill God? You're a God yourself, after all."

Bai Lin's mood changed very quickly. Her expression changed from a little awkward to a slightly teasing expression. On the other hand, the God of Wilderness still remained unchanged in the face of all changes.

"I understand you, Holy Son. Even if I didn't say those words, your attitude toward God is nothing more than a feudal superstition, with your left eye twitching for wealth and your right eye twitching for right. From your perspective, taking advantage of opportunities is completely correct. Both objectively and subjectively, I can agree with and understand your thinking."

Chapter 580 I am the rules of heaven and earth

Having said this, the God of Wilderness looked up at the sky and extended his hand toward the darkened dome. As the daylight faded, the deep blue shadow slowly encroached upon the bright and warm light, merging with it and gradually devouring it, gradually stained the beautiful and dazzling clouds and haze with the quiet night.

She casually moved her fingertips, like a child fiddling with a toy at their destination. Then, the clouds and mist that enveloped the azure sky were instantly dispersed. The dusk, devoid of clouds, was like a veil of protection. Instantly, a flood of deep blue night poured in, completely filling the sky.

"What we call faith is like rules, governing our thoughts and actions. To you, this is also the law of heaven and earth. And to you, we are also very powerful. Therefore, rebelling against God is like rebelling against the rules of heaven and earth. It is a foolish act."

The God of Wilderness spoke to Bai Lin in a calm tone. Then, she put down her fingers, looked at Bai Lin, and said with a perfect, not too ostentatious arc at the corner of her mouth,

"But if God has already affected your normal life, or even threatened your life, then defying God is naturally not foolish. Ultimately, as long as you firmly believe in your own ideas, whether it's defying God or defying something more powerful, it's feasible."

"However, when doing anything, it's best to understand the whole picture before making a decision. Perhaps on the surface, this miracle may seem to bring you sorrow, but in reality, it may be protecting you."

The words of the God of Wilderness, which were full of ulterior motives, were quite simple and easy to understand, but from Bai Lin's perspective, it was hard not to feel...

Are you suggesting that you may be helping others on the surface, but in reality you're just doing it for your own pleasure? Or perhaps you're indirectly harming people?

However, Bai Lin quickly dismissed this thought as she gazed into the God of Wilderness's deep, passionate eyes, reflecting the myriad mysteries of the universe. These eyes, adorned with the face of a lovely girl, revealed an unusual blend of indifference and solemnity. It was like the scent of long-simmered sandalwood, its fragrance permeating and evoking a sense of ethereal tranquility, yet instantly revealing the marks of age.

Bai Lin put this remaining malicious thought behind her. Huang Shen was a smart person. Although his personality was a bit bad, he would not lead her to plot against her. Communicating with such a smart person was a smooth conversation. Why not take this opportunity to say a few more words?

Bai Lin took a deep breath, looked at Huang Shen with a serious look, and asked her,

"So, God of Wilderness, suppose I believe that the so-called miracle that protects us is not perfect. Then, what should I do? Should I break it and establish a new order, or should I obey it?"

At this moment, the solemnity in Huang Shen's eyes disappeared in an instant. She closed her eyes and said to Bai Lin with a very innocent smile,

"You've already gotten a very positive answer to this question, right? I'm not some mind reader, so I won't play tricks on you."

...What a troublesome woman.

This statement instantly dissipated any favorable impression Bai Lin had finally developed towards the God of Wilderness. She shifted her gaze to the sky, which was gradually shrouded in darkness. Her eyes, like the gloomy sky, revealed a sense of emptiness and lightlessness.

Still, the sunset scene I watched with Miyuki last time is more to my liking.

With such thoughts, Bai Lin clenched his fists, then lowered his head and looked directly at Huang Shen. The latter, not understanding why, opened his mouth and said to Bai Lin,

"I've gone a bit around in circles, so let's get to the point. To summarize, I'm a god, a being that governs the laws of heaven and earth. So, there's no need to view my help as partiality or injustice. Instead, consider it luck and a destined opportunity."

The God of Wilderness smiled and said this to Bai Lin, while Bai Lin shrugged his shoulders again and replied helplessly,

"That's a rather arrogant and cunning statement, but I'm just curious about how this matter works for you. I'm not the one being helped, so I don't need to express too much personal opinion."

“So, that’s how it is.”

The God of Wilderness slapped his head, as if he had suddenly realized something, and sighed. As for Bai Lin, he licked his face, imitated the God of Wilderness and smiled, and then said,

"Of course, I personally hope that you can favor me a little as luck and destiny will have an opportunity."

Seeing Bai Lin like this, Huang Shen smiled again. She stretched out her finger and tapped her cheek, and simply replied with four words,

"You learn quickly."

"Isn't this the case? A good teacher produces good students."

"Well, disciple, you said you were hungry before we started talking, and I'm sure you're starving now. Now, let's go and have dinner!"

Just like that, the man and the god walked towards the village with light steps. Although Bai Lin was carrying a large pile of wooden boxes, his steps were indeed light enough.

"Speaking of that little wolf in your house, it wasn't me who drove it away. Aren't you worried about it?"

"It's okay. Where there's food, there's definitely her."

-

Grains of pure white rice gather together in a red, black-rimmed porcelain bowl. The perfect amount of moisture brings out the fullness of the grains, making this ordinary bowl of rice appear far more enticing. Just one glance reveals the meticulous cooking process, tantalizingly tempting.

A few sesame seeds were sprinkled on top of the rice, seemingly for garnish. But the most striking aspect of this main course was, of course, the delicious side dishes. The three dishes on the side included a rich fish soup, steamed vegetables, and a large piece of braised pork. Each one was incredibly delicious, both in color and flavor, and truly whetted one's appetite.

"Wow! That's amazing, Aragami-sister, you're such a good cook!"

The red-haired wolf girl clasped her hands together, staring intently at the dishes in front of her. Although she was praising the God of Wilderness, her heart and soul seemed to have been attracted by the dishes.

"When it comes to food, I think I know a little bit."

Chapter 581 God Cooks for You

"After all, I once used these two legs to walk across most of the continent. During that time, I might not have been able to find a city to live in. Naturally, I had to find what I wanted to eat myself. So, I still know how to cook."

The God of Wilderness wore a faint smile, sitting in front of the two of them, looking at the saliva on Xiao Miyu's lips, she also raised a hand and said,

"If you're hungry, just eat first. It's okay to just pick up your chopsticks."

"Great, thank you, Sister Huang Shen!"

Miyu quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and began to eat the food in front of her with relish. On the other side, Huang Shen took action. She raised the meat plate beside her, pressed down Miyu's rice bowl, and said,

"If you add the sauce here, it will taste even better."

As she spoke, the God of Wilderness poured the exquisitely crafted and beautifully presented braised pork broth from her hand into the other person's bowl. Instantly, the pure white rice grains were engulfed by the gentle sauce, and the aroma of the meat lifted Miyu's spirits. She happily resumed her meal.

Bai Lin's heart was a little shaken watching this scene. After all, she was Chinese herself, and she usually ate similar dishes before, and she didn't feel that they were particularly special.

But as the saying goes, there's no harm without comparison. Back in this other world, Bai Lin mostly ate dry rations and wild animal meat. Even when she occasionally visited a restaurant in Camillan, the cuisine in the lower city was relatively monotonous, becoming boring after a while. She rarely went to the upper city, so the only thing that satisfied her was eating at Kong's house.

At Sora's, she occasionally cooks for herself. Bai Lin used to think cooking was a hassle, so she didn't really enjoy it. Now, she wishes she could carry Sora's kitchen with her. As for why, it's because...

"Chinese food is indeed the best."

Bai Lin never imagined that after arriving in this other world, her cooking skills would actually improve slightly. She tried hard to recall her experiences in her original world, and at the same time, she also learned a little from Sora. This way, she could have more opportunities to taste the flavors of her hometown.

As a Chinese, it is really sad that I only have a little time to eat Chinese food.

Although the dishes cooked by Huang Shen were very exquisite and looked like they could definitely be served in a large hotel, the two dishes and one soup were just the right amount, giving them a homely feel. Furthermore, Huang Shen's behavior of simply pouring the broth over the rice brought back many memories for Bai Lin.

Bai Lin had practiced this way of eating rice since he was very young, and most Chinese people probably experienced it several times during their childhood. In larger settings, no one would directly pick up the plate and pour soup onto the rice. This behavior only occurred in private or at a table full of family.

It has been more than two years since Bai Lin left his hometown, and this simple meal carries some of his longing for his hometown.

"What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking, Wasteland Walker?"

Seeing Bai Lin staring at the bowl in front of him in a daze, Huang Shen seemed to be kind and reminded Bai Lin. Bai Lin also reacted, shook his head, and then said,

"Nothing, maybe he fainted from hunger."

"Hey, are you that hungry?! But if you're starving, why don't you eat?"

On the side, little Miyu, who had already finished a bowl of rice without realizing it, looked at Bai Lin in confusion with rice grains on the corners of his mouth. Bai Lin, with a sullen expression, stretched out a hand and tapped Miyu on the back of the head, then said,

"Do you think everyone is a glutton like you? When I asked you to go back to the village earlier, you had already eaten at someone else's house. Now you are so anxious to eat. The other person, the wild god, is the host and cooked for us, but you haven't even started eating yet!"

Just as Bai Lin was seriously scolding Xiao Miyu, a wafting aroma suddenly reached Bai Lin's nose. She turned her head slightly and saw a piece of braised pork. She saw Huang Shen holding the meat with chopsticks, squinting his eyes, smiling at Bai Lin and said,

"Well, I'm going to start eating now. Don't refuse to eat, Wild Walker."

As the piece of meat moved closer to Bai Lin, the God of Wilderness's smile grew thicker, and Bai Lin could clearly sense the growing malice beneath that smile. A slight blush crept onto her face, and then, a voice, unmistakable even in this quiet room, echoed through the streets of the settlement. The voice contained only two words:

“Get out of here—!”

After a day of tossing and turning, Bai Lin, led by the Yulings, arrived at the room assigned to her. She simply stretched out her arms and sank onto the soft bed she hadn't slept on in a long time. Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, she inexplicably felt a sense of peace and comfort.

"I usually fall asleep first, but now I realize that my sister has such a bad sleeping posture."

Xiao Miyu's voice came from the other side of the bed. Bai Lin rolled his eyes and ignored her. But at this time, another sound rang out.

"That's right. As a wilderness walker, I still have to improve my image a bit."

The words of Huang Shen were too obvious to criticize. To use Bai Lin's words, it was "bullshit". She clenched her fists and shouted,

"You two, that's enough!"

Really, if I stay with these two people all the time, I will go crazy soon.

Bai Lin sighed, glanced at the God of Desolation standing beside the bed, and then asked,

"Aren't you trying to conserve your energy? Why don't you just turn back and wait to sleep with us?"

"That's a good proposal, but I think your sleep quality might be greatly reduced, affecting your actions tomorrow. The reason I haven't hidden my human form yet is that I want to tell you something first..."

The calm narration of the God of Wilderness stirred up some of Bai Lin's anger. Before Bai Lin could say anything, she changed the subject and said to him,

"If you want to do some morning exercise, go out the window, walk straight to the first intersection, and turn left. You'll reach a more spacious area. Although the structure of the house here is sturdy enough, it certainly won't withstand your efforts, so I'll give you a little warning."

Chapter 582 Youth Observation

Bai Lin was slightly startled, but then she realized that the God of Wilderness was an all-knowing deity, so it was only natural for him to understand her lifestyle. This sudden concern didn't bother Bai Lin too much. She replied briefly, "I know." "If you really know, that's fine. Good night, my Wilderness Walker," the God of Wilderness said, his voice slightly provocative. Then, he transformed into a streak of light and dissipated into the air again. Bai Lin, on the other hand, felt a headache, covering her eyes with one hand, and once again thought helplessly, "What kind of B God?" The amount of information she had gathered today was quite extensive, especially regarding the gods. While it was substantial, there were still many unanswered questions, such as, "What is the structure of this world? Was it created by gods?" Of course, Bai Lin had asked the God of Wilderness directly, but she said that such things were something for Bai Lin to explore on her own and that she wouldn't reveal them. So, Bai Lin gave up and decided to discuss it later. At this point, she had a general understanding of the alien race's distribution and some of its forces, but many details still needed to be fully understood through her own journey. As for the person who looked very similar to her and was still pursuing her... she hoped she was still being tortured and tormented by Kong and the others. Although it was a bit tiring for them, she really needed time. What she needed to determine now was probably the person's origin and abilities. From his appearance, temperament, and behavior, he looked more like a messenger of the gods than she did. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if her gods, like the wild gods, had the same insight into the world, guiding her to Bai Lin and locate him. On her side, even if Ah Jun was able to respond, Bai Lin would still be exploring the interior of the alien race, and a confrontation between the two was inevitable. How could I, completely outmatched in abilities, defeat her? Bai Lin loosened her grip, glanced at the empty ceiling, then spread her hands, relaxing and letting go of all her thoughts. There was no point in dwelling on this. Better to wait for the "reward" from the God of Wilderness before considering it. With that, Bai Lin closed her eyes, deciding to sleep it out for the day. When she opened them again, she sensed something was terribly wrong. Before her stood a girl with black hair and black eyes, about sixteen years old. She was good-looking, with curves beyond her age—in short, a figure that was beginning to take shape, with a promising future. Bai Lin didn't care about her looks at this moment. She frowned, feeling that the girl before her looked familiar, but she couldn't place who she was. Just as she pondered this question, her gaze fixed on her, her hand moved. With clumsy movements, she picked up cosmetics, applying powder to her face. Though seemingly unskilled, it was clear this wasn't her first time applying makeup; not only was her application meticulous, but her speed wasn't too slow either. Bai Lin then realized there was a transparent mirror between them. She glanced around, somewhat bewildered. The exquisite interior walls, the seemingly soft bed, and the bright incandescent light. The cosmetics in the girl's hands and the clothes she wore made it clear that this was the era Bai Lin had once inhabited—the modern era. Confirming this, she quickly glanced back at herself and realized she was back in a male body. Clearly, just like before, she had been dreaming again. Ah, that old man last time was fine, but who could it be this time? Bai Lin thought helplessly. This time, the situation certainly seemed different. He tried to wave at the girl and exchange a few words, but she didn't even bother to pay him any attention. Bai Lin then began to make bolder moves. He tried to reach out and remove the makeup from the woman's dressing table, but his hand suddenly seemed transparent, passing through the table directly. "Is this time I'm supposed to observe this dream from a bystander's perspective?" Bai Lin couldn't help but wonder. Watching a woman put on makeup was a rather dull thing, especially watching someone so young, which struck Bai Lin as a rather subtle thing. A girl this young was already learning to dress up, clearly wanting to express herself. And at her age, there was only one person she could express herself to: the man she loved. Bai Lin had experienced premature love before, and it was more accurate to say that his current girlfriend had been in it until now. While he had no regrets about falling in love, he was well aware that it was immature. So, observing this situation, she didn't have a clear opinion, but simply felt... how youthful it was. Reminiscing about the past, which was both bitter and sweet, Bai Lin began to feel a surge of nostalgia. But now wasn't the time for her to reminisce. The most important thing was to first reflect on why this girl looked familiar to her. Of course, she wouldn't just sit there and wait for Bai Lin to remember something. She finished dressing quickly. Her makeup wasn't heavy, but it was still relatively bright, not typical of her age. But it certainly brought out a hint of her budding feminine charm, adding a touch of maturity and allure to her overall appearance. After hailing a taxi via her phone, the girl left her home. Bai Lin quickly followed, eventually sitting in the back seat. Seeing the street scene, Bai Lin was certain this was the city he once lived in. After all, he couldn't forget nearly every corner of this city; it was where he'd lived for over twenty years. While he had a general idea of ​​the neighborhood he was in, his impression of the girl was merely a vague recollection. The ride took quite a while. The city is so small that if you can drive so long from a location near the city center, you can only go to some more remote places.

Chapter 583 Dabie

Bai Lin leaned back in the back seat, looking out the window, somewhat bewildered, at her own reflection, pondering. It was nearly nightfall, where could a young woman like this possibly go? Even if she was out on a date, there was no need to travel so far. The city center was clearly more suitable for students, with plenty of food and entertainment.

But soon, Bai Lin's doubts were dispelled. This was because the taxi finally stopped at a place that was unlikely to appear in the city center, which was... the entrance to the villa area.

Not long after the girl got off the bus, a young man of the same age, wearing a flashy outfit, sunglasses, and dyed yellow curly hair, came to the security office at the gate with a giggle and said to the girl,

"You're finally here, sister-in-law. We've been waiting inside for a long time, and you're the only one missing! Hey, open the door quickly, we're in Building 8."

Listening to what the young man said, Bai Lin frowned. Isn't this a scoundrel? He's so young and doing this? But it's understandable that he can live in such a place. It's just that subjectively speaking, a normal person like Bai Lin would only feel disgusted by such people.

Fortunately, according to him, he is not this girl's boyfriend...

For some reason, Bai Lin suddenly began to hope that the girl's boyfriend could be a little more normal. Perhaps it was because the girl subconsciously frowned when talking to him.

Soon, the two men and a ghost came to the door of a villa. The little yellow-haired man seemed to be very mysterious. He went up and pressed the doorbell twice, then bent his waist, put his hands inside, and said,

"Sister-in-law, please go first."

The girl stood at the doorway, somewhat bewildered, then nodded and pushed the slightly opened door open. Suddenly, a world completely different from the dim outside appeared before her.

The interior of the villa was brightly lit and luxuriously decorated. The dazzling world directly hit her eyes, accompanied by ostentatious salutes, some petals flying in the air, and the noisy cheers of the crowd.

A group of men and women of similar age, some with their hands outstretched, some swaying their bodies, their actions revealing their emotions, all of them welcoming the young girl.

Both her vision and hearing were instantly filled, which was undoubtedly a very shocking thing for a young girl. And just at this moment, a cough was heard from inside, and the people standing in front of the girl immediately moved aside, making way for the person in the innermost part.

A red-haired fellow with curly hair came out from inside. He held a glass of champagne in his hand and raised it to the girl in front of him, saying,

"You're finally here, happy Valentine's Day, my baby."

The girl's face flushed red all of a sudden. She blushed and replied in a somewhat concealed manner,

"We haven't confirmed our relationship yet, isn't it..."

"Okay, everyone understands. Our Xiaorou is just shy. But now that you're here, don't be so reserved."
