Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3886 The Radiance of the Mayfly
The starry sky is silent, with broken stars and meteorites drifting indifferently. Fragments of past light and shadow have dimmed and disappeared back into the river of time.

For Venus, who wields the power of virtue and all the abilities of her sub-domains, that arrow, imbued with the light of primordial power, had a profound impact on Ye Lin's thinking. The spell called love was poisonous, and he wanted to misuse public resources.

Venus was actually mentally prepared, recalling the night forest where she picked flowers and tended to plants, cultivated an orchard, and was surrounded by outstanding women.

The term "emotionally faithful" doesn't apply to him at all.

But being mentally prepared is one thing, being exposed is another. The little red notebook in Xia's hand was particularly eye-catching, more so than the unbroken sun.

Hiat's thoughts drifted to a fleeting memory: everyone always joked that Ye Lin was like a public bus—you could just put in a coin and get on; who cared about him?

There are also beautiful scholars like Ruiqi from the divine realm, doctors like Ruike from the celestial realm, the eldest princess of the Arad continent's empire, and noblewoman Judy... They all initially chose to associate with him because they believed he possessed resources that would allow them to achieve their ideals.

But now it seems that Ye Lin is being taken away by Venus, becoming her personal vehicle, and she'll be the one squeezing juice from her. To be honest, everyone is a little reluctant to see her go.

The key issue lies in Venus's previous requirement of "no defenses," which made it unclear whether she had been affected or not.

Although Hiat possesses the power of destiny to sever cause and effect, it is a last resort, a last-ditch effort that comes at a price and cannot be used lightly.

Even if cause and effect are erased from the realm of destiny, the memory of wisdom cannot be retrieved.

Mo Mei kept her eyes fixed on her boss's face, trying to find some clues in his expression to tell whether he had been affected by Venus's arrow of power, whether he was really hit, or just pretending.

"The boss's expression didn't change, not even a hint of his gaze. He was filled with deep affection for Venus, his pupils reflecting her image." She secretly transmitted this to everyone.

Hiat nodded slightly. Even using her power of destiny, she couldn't detect anything unusual. Of course, she only used her power slightly. She said:

“Venus, since you need some time to process your own humanity and want to leave, let’s use the same method: let Ye Lin choose who to go with.”

She passed the buck to Ye Lin himself; whether he had a problem or not would be known after the test. The sisters were too lazy to continue arguing with Venus, to be jealous of him, or to fight over him. How could they?

“Love requires no choice.” Venus repeated her words, a mysterious smile playing on her flawless face.

Her height advantage was so obvious compared to everyone else; her beautiful body curves were partially concealed by the dress, making her look noble and sexy, as if she had the aura to outshine everyone else.

Beautiful faces are hard to judge, and the concept of beauty is a passive ability, but height is indeed an advantage. Even someone as tall as Jade would be a head shorter than Venus.

"So what? If you're confident in your abilities, why not give it a try?" Hiat responded with a smile, her beauty shining brightly, seemingly confident and carefree as well.

If the sugarcane chooses to go with you, then go ahead, it doesn't matter.

Venus pondered for a moment, thinking that fate had a point. She then withdrew her slender hand from Ye Lin's, took a half step back, and gave him enough space to choose who to go with.

Xiaoyu walked briskly and smilingly behind Mailu, gesturing to the fullness of her chest, and said:
"How can you bear to leave such a wonderful hand warmer?"

Then he turned around and came to Mo Mei's side, picked up her pigtails and rubbed them against her cheek, "Don't you like it?"

“Xiaoyu, there’s no need to bring out your treasures to increase your stakes. Yelin, you’re so lucky. We’re giving you a chance to choose.” There was a hint of something else in Xia’s tone.

If we weren't used to you, if we weren't so love-struck, we would have given you the cold shoulder and dumped you long ago.

So don't try to dump the problems on us and solve them yourself. You should have been mentally prepared for this, as this kind of situation has happened more than once or twice before.

In the shadows, Ye Lin almost broke out in a cold sweat. He was no stranger to emotional battlegrounds. For example, when Queens Skadi and Maya first met, they were completely businesslike, smiling and discussing national affairs, every word they uttered referring to the country. He, on the other hand, was sitting on the side feeling uneasy. The two queens didn't mention him at all, as if they were holding a national-level visit.

Whoever brings him up first loses momentum.

Venus's power arrow, a curse for love, did indeed affect his thoughts because he was defenseless. The image of Venus in his mind seemed to be imprinted into every moment of his consciousness, creating a situation where every second of his memory, whether in the past or the future, would bear the indelible mark of Venus. The final result of this curse was no less than the closed-loop cause and effect between him and Pushia.

However, the curse called love did not take full effect; it suppressed its influence on the depths of his memories.

There are two reasons. One is that Hiat and the others are still around. If he were alone with Venus, he wouldn't mind temporarily taking on her curse. The other reason is that he is about to ascend to the Creator rank. There are too many traces of Venus in his soul, which may have some unknown effects on her as well.

Now the question is in his face: should he choose Venus, who embodies the most beautiful concept and stands out alone, or return to his own family, where a hundred flowers bloom in abundance?

There is no standard answer to this choice. It will always hurt the other side. On one side is Venus, who used her powers but was not chosen. On the other side are everyone who has been with her for a long time. Moreover, it doesn't have to be that all of them are here. Even if only one person is here, they cannot make a perfect choice.

The influence of primordial power can serve as a temporary excuse, but it's not a perfect one. He will eventually awaken; he can't be Venus's personal chariot forever.

Then, Ye Lin suddenly awoke as if from a dream, swayed slightly, looked around with extremely confused eyes, gradually clearing them, looked at Venus, and smiled:
“Venus, it seems I have blocked your arrow. In that case, according to our original agreement, you must rebuild trust with humanity.”

Xiaoyu immediately let out a "heh..." sound, her tone playful, and said:

"You woke up just in time, and as soon as you woke up, you changed the subject."

Therefore, it's not hard to guess that Venus's arrow, which pierced the starry sky and its trajectory became the Milky Way, did not have a significant effect on Ye Lin, at most having a temporary impact.

Since everyone knew he was faking it, they didn't bother to expose him. His "timely" wake-up was indeed the best solution.

It's pointless to keep pressing him to choose, he'll definitely answer with certainty, "You are all my wings, I can't let go of any of you." However, even the archangel with the most wings in heaven only has twelve, so he's probably not a centipede.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Venus's eyes, as if she was dissatisfied with Ye Lin's awakening. She slowly said, "I will keep my promise, but I am only giving humanity a chance. Trust needs to be built."

"Venus, she really wants to use the public vehicle for private purposes," Sophie muttered.

Venus raised her hand, cupping a memory crystal in her palm, and pushed it towards the angel Somi, saying:

"My condition is still unstable. It feels like there are two consciousnesses fighting within my soul. Everything I experienced when I returned to the beginning is here. I hope it will be helpful to those who come after me." Afterwards, Venus, accompanied by two obedient little followers, transformed into a beam of light from the starry sky and disappeared into the distance, her destination the Arad Continent.

Ye Lin, who had secretly wiped away a bead of sweat, hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when he was met with a chilling, enigmatic gaze from everyone. He forced a smile and awkwardly said:

"I hope everyone is alright and hasn't been affected too much by the power of virtue."

"It's alright." Xia nodded, then extended her hand to him.

Ye Lin's throat bobbed slightly, and he stood frozen in place like a puppet. After all, he was in the wrong and felt guilty... It wouldn't be surprising if Fei Liao twisted his head off the next second.

Hiat pressed down on his head, then slowly turned it halfway around, facing the direction of the Arad Continent, and said calmly:

"Do we need to remind you? Venus needs your help right now. Go after her, we won't blame you."

“Liao…” Ye Lin almost choked up. To have Liao like this was truly a blessing from heaven. He approached, wanting to hug and kiss her.

Sighing, Hiat raised her hand and pointed:
"roll!"

Stop dawdling. Do you think that by acting all sentimental right now, I'll be even happier?

"Good."

After Ye Lin left, everyone opened the spatial gate. On the other side of the gate was the continent of Arad and the Huttonmar Manor.

Just as Siat was about to go inside, Angel Somi's lips moved slightly. She paused for a moment, then said to everyone:

"I'll go back later."

Everyone looked at her and the motionless angel Somi, asked no more questions, nodded, and left the empty and desolate starry sky, leaving behind Hiat and the angel Somi, or rather, Remedios.

If the young lady needs their help, she will definitely ask.

Back at the manor, Yuena said:
"Lord Remi kept her, probably because of the Primordial Power. That's the difference between the Hiat and us."

Aside from Ye Lin, Xi Ya Te is the only one who has attained godhood and possesses the power to do so.

“No, no, her breasts are bigger than yours.” Imiwu shook her head, deliberately finding fault and pointing out another difference between the young lady and Yuena.

"Shorty, don't you know your own limitations?" Yue Na almost laughed out of anger. I may be far inferior to Mile and the others, but compared to you, I'm a complete annihilator.

Holding the Naughty Rabbit plush toy, Imiwu gently blinked her large, ruby-like eyes, her slender body turning slightly from side to side, and raising her voice as she spoke:

“It’s different. I’m young, but I can dress up as a loli. Loli’s physique is normal. You’re an adult, can you do that?”

"Oh my, you even managed to pinch it!" Yue Na couldn't help but snap her fingers, wanting to give the short, stout guy a flick on the forehead, but he dodged it with a quick movement.

"You must know that Transcendents can reassemble their bodies, right?" Yue Na implied, "I'm just used to my current figure, it doesn't mean I can't be as big as Mile."

If I wanted, I could easily become like Bosem.

“That’s cheating, it’s something you learned later, it’s not genuine, it’s fake,” Imiwu retorted. “That old hag is shameless.”

…………

In the realm of gods, a colossal celestial beast, separated from its race, slowly flew in the twilight. It was larger than most celestial beasts in the realm of gods, and on its back was an ancient, magnificent, and eerily cold temple complex.

Bellaodean is the name of this temple of the goddess of beauty. It is incredibly magnificent and splendid. Legend has it that it is the building that best symbolizes the goddess of beauty. Even during the time when the goddess of beauty fell and disappeared, the name of this temple still circulated in the realm of the gods.

The realm of the gods was the first place where the goddess of beauty descended upon the continent of Arad.
The Temple of Beauty is the garden of the Temple of Bella Odigen. In the center is a large, clear pond surrounded by lush vegetation, the two complementing each other perfectly. The garden also displays many items related to the goddess of beauty.

The goddess Venus returned here with two little attendants. The water and plants in the garden were covered with a faint pearly glow. The flowers that should have bloomed during the day bloomed in reverse time because of the goddess's arrival, showing off their most vivid and beautiful colors.

The tomboyish Rudis took out a huge pair of silver scissors: "Goddess of Beauty, please wait a moment and give me some time. I will definitely trim the Palace of Beauty beautifully."

"No need, let's leave it at that. I'll be alone for a while," Venus stopped Rudis.

Rudis was about to say something when Serena tugged at her sleeve, gave her a look, and then dragged her away.

The next second, Ye Lin emerged from a beam of light. Before he could speak, Venus put her slender finger to her lips in a "shh" gesture, signaling him to be quiet.
The unkempt temple of beauty was overgrown with dense vegetation, so dense that it had already obscured the path. Venus rose and floated toward the huge pool, which was built with exquisite stone and had not yet been covered by the rampant vegetation.

Thanks to the ancient magic that remains in Bella Odyon, the infrastructure here is relatively complete, the pool always has water and has never dried up, and there are not many wild animals invading.

However, the water in the pool was already somewhat murky. Under the illumination of the magic lights, one could see many insects that looked like dragonflies flying around on the surface of the water. Some of them seemed to have exhausted themselves and plunged into the water, never to fly again.

"What kind of insect is that?" Venus asked, seemingly not recognizing it.

Ye Lin replied, "It should be a mayfly. Most mayflies are born in the morning and die in the evening. The longest-lived species only live for about seven days. They will follow their instincts to complete everything within a day."

Mayflies are too fragile in their larval stage and their adult life is too short, like a candle. Even the misty power of the Mist God was not enough to transform this tiny life into a divine beast.

“I remember now, mayflies are one of the few creatures I allowed to be placed in Belladion.” The goddess Venus raised her hand, and a translucent mayfly landed on her fingertip.
