Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 556 What is your wish?
[Divine Light: I was a bit busy before and forgot to tell you, the Primal Tree is the World of Seeking Light]

[Divine Light: So you can just go to the World of Seeking Light; you don't need to ask where the Tree of Origin is anymore.]

[Divine Light: The other group of Time Scavengers were trying to lock your location, but they were blocked by the permissions.]

Don't relax too much. These people have a one-time way to avoid triggering permissions. After all, it's been around for a long time, so they still have some tricks up their sleeves. Be careful when necessary.

Li Xia's gaze suddenly sharpened. The garbage collector...
[Three: Okay, thank you, Brother Guang]

[Shenguang: You're welcome. If you really encounter any trash dealers, killing a few more will be a token of my gratitude.]

Li Xia turned off his communicator. He wasn't surprised at all that Shenguang was able to contact him; this first-in-command reserve officer was quite mysterious.

Furthermore, it seems to be able to directly see 'permission' operations, and it has an extreme aversion to guilds.

The ninth-ranked hunter is a super strong person above the ninth rank, so it's not surprising that there are others above the ninth rank, not to mention that the first and second-ranked hunters have been acting as reserve agents for a long time.

"Garbage collector"

Li Xia repeated it softly, and Aowu next to him immediately stretched out his body, looking around:

"Where is where?"

"There's no news here, just from Shenguang."

Li Xia took another step forward and switched to team chat:

"They said the garbage collector was trying to lock me up by using his privileges, but it was blocked by the privileges granted by the reserve. Shenguang reminded me that they have many ways to lock people up, and it doesn't necessarily have to be through privileges."

"Damn it, these garbage collectors are like flies that swarm around the smell of shit!"

He roared in fury, while the black charcoal beside him paused, feeling that something about the metaphor was off.

"Garbage collectors are definitely a problem."

Li Xia pondered for a moment, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there seemed to be some kind of danger hidden in it.

The timing of the garbage collectors was excellent; there must be some experts among them.

If there were an avatar, the chances of winning would obviously increase; in other words, this was actually the only window of opportunity.

However, if you want to avoid being hunted down by the junk collectors, you have to settle for second best and just buy the Avatar Core.

Li Xia was unwilling and did not want to do that.

"Boss, it seems... a bit dangerous."

Xiao Long pondered for a long time, resting his chin on his hand, and clearly realized the problem.

Let's assume that the junk collector will definitely find a way to track him down, no matter what the method is, even if it's just a one-time thing.

What judgment would you make if you discovered that the world you had traveled to was the World of Seeking Light?
Even a fool could tell – head to the World of Seeking Light to obtain an avatar!

Therefore, we can deduce that this kid currently has no avatar—only one life—easy to kill! ALL IN!

"Let's put it aside for now. Once we've upgraded all the equipment, we'll go check out the arena."

Li Xia made a decision:
"At least we should familiarize ourselves with how to deal with the avatars first."

"Ok!"

The three little ones nodded emphatically in agreement, their bodies, which had relaxed somewhat due to the advancement, tensed up again, with a hint of excitement in their eyes.

It's unclear when it started, but fighting and risking one's life have become commonplace for them, as if they were necessities of life, just like the saying goes—life goes on, the fight never ends!

"Hall of Recreation, return to the present world!"

[Dear Acting Reserve Officer, you are returning to the real world. Have a good rest.]

A salty sea breeze swept across the entire island. The sky was clear and blue, and the distant horizon met the sea, as if the sky and the sea had merged into one.

The waves gently lapped against the golden sand, and the seawater seeped into the sand, making the shallow water clear.

Several seabirds chirped and flew overhead.

The three little ones and Li Xia, who was wearing beach shorts, lay on chairs under a parasol, enjoying the sunshine, sand, and sea breeze, just like tourists on vacation.

Xiao Long, standing next to him, took off his sunglasses, lazily summoned a stream of water to rinse his body, and suddenly sighed.

Black Charcoal and Howling Sky, who were standing nearby, immediately turned to look at it, asking with their eyes:
Why does my elder brother look so worried and sigh so often?

Aowu stared blankly at his surroundings.
"Although the scenery here is nice, it gets really boring after a while. It would be nice to go somewhere else."

As the Apostles grow stronger, their range of activities gradually shrinks and becomes more fixed. In this 0th-order world, the destructive power of the Apostles is astonishing.

At higher levels, their very existence could probably cause the entire world to collapse, so the Temple of Light must designate a specific area and continuously reinforce it to maintain stability.

But the apostles cannot simply not come to the mortal world; they need to stay there for a fixed period of time to prevent their fate from becoming utterly meaningless.

The present world is like an anchor, like a root, firmly holding onto the wanderer who has left home.

"Not necessarily. We should be able to go and explore when we come out of the next world."

Li Xia suddenly said, "Aowu, it would have been better if you hadn't mentioned it. As soon as you did, my mind immediately conjured up my former home, the home where I had lived for more than ten years, a home that held countless beautiful memories."

The urge to go home spread like wildfire, growing ever stronger.

I really want to go home and visit.
"Really, boss?"

With a gurgle, it rolled over, its dragon eyes wide open, staring intently at Li Xia. The little cat and Xiaotian did the same; how could they not be interested in the place where their boss lived?
Especially for the three little ones, seeing the outside world online is like being in a village when the internet was first brought to them. They see the prosperity outside, but they are in the deep mountains and cannot leave.

I've been holding back for so long.

The key point is—as long as he can get out, Aowu can go through the internet to beat up that idiot who always argues and insults him.

'What can I do about your arrogance?' right?
"Roar!" He gripped his dragon claw, ready to beat the crap out of you!

"Ok!"

Li Xia himself became a little excited and held up one finger:
"Based on what I understand, once an avatar is obtained, the local person can remain in the controlled area through the temple, and their consciousness can be projected onto the avatar."

The avatar is not subject to control! It is essentially a shadow and has no impact on the present world.

They say the sensation and everything else are exactly the same!

"Nice!"

Awoo clenched his fist and swung his tail excitedly. His eyes were filled with anticipation. Where should we go to play first?

Meanwhile, in the top-floor office of the construction group, an ordinary-looking middle-aged man nodded slightly while pressing his earpiece:
"Mr. Tu, you can make the call now."

Manager Tu, who had successfully been promoted and received a raise, nodded, took a few deep breaths, and then carefully picked up his phone to make a call.

The moment the call connected, a warm smile instinctively spread across his face:

"Mr. Li, it's me, Tu Mugou from the construction company—oh, it's me, it's me—"

As the call connected, the middle-aged man standing next to President Tu was extremely tense, even clenching his fists involuntarily—a feeling he hadn't experienced in a very long time.

But at this moment, he felt as if he had returned to the days when he was a greenhorn, experiencing the tension and trepidation of his first major mission.
Even within the organization, making rash contact with someone codenamed 'Immortal-001' would be extremely controversial.

However, as time went on, the organization discovered that more and more countries, groups, and institutions around the world were eager to take action, and even if they were unwilling, they had to take the lead.

We can only hope that, out of consideration for the country where we once lived, this person will show some leniency—just a little, nothing more.
Based on the analysis, the last time Shenlong, with his sword splitting the sky, including the bizarre change of the storm course and his detour to Japan halfway, the organization concluded that at least this 'Immortal-001' should not be resentful towards the country, and seems to still cherish old feelings.

It was based on this assessment, coupled with the restless advances of neighboring countries and organizations, that led to this risky contact.

To avoid provoking Li Xia, they decided to start with Tu Zong. Firstly, he was the only one who had Li Xia's phone number, and secondly, according to him, Li Xia was quite easygoing and not difficult to communicate with. He had also frequently called to check on Li Xia before and hadn't been disliked.

Time seems to slow down when you're thinking. By the time the middle-aged man brought his wandering thoughts back, he found that President Tu had already put down his phone with a radiant face.

"I have accomplished my mission, Director Zhang, they have agreed!"

These words were like a shot of adrenaline, instantly dispelling all his emotions. Director Zhang felt a surge of heat rush to his head, clenched his fist tightly, and waved it in mid-air.

As long as you're willing to make an effort, it's a good start!
"Then prepare, and remember! We have only one principle: seek not merit, but peace!"

"Yes!"

Li Xia put down her phone. Suddenly, Vice President Tu of the construction group that built her the island said that someone wanted to visit her and asked if it would be convenient.

It must be due to the influence of Aowu and Kaitian before.
Li Xia tapped her palm thoughtfully with her phone; this was a perfect opportunity.

After acquiring an incarnation in the next world, he planned to return to his home and return to the peaceful life he had before.

Going back without communication might cause panic on the other side and disrupt my life.

It was precisely because of this that Li Xia was willing to talk.

Before long, a small boat appeared in sight, moving at a moderate speed, until it docked at the pre-built pier.

"Boss?"

The three little ones immediately perked up. It had been a long time since anyone had come here, and the occasional visit made them quite happy.

They watched intently as several people disembarked from the boat. After a brief discussion, the three of them walked towards them with smiles on their faces.

With Li Xia and the three little ones' eyesight, even from a short distance away, they could still clearly see every detail of the three people.

One of them was a man around fifty years old, while the other two were younger. Neither of them were particularly handsome or beautiful, but strangely, they were all very approachable and did not seem unpleasant; in fact, they were quite likable.

Good at choosing people
Li Xia chuckled to himself. He had no ill feelings towards his hometown; on the contrary, he thought it was quite nice.

"Mr. Li—Hello, hello!"

Before they even arrived, smiles preceded their arrival; the three of them greeted each other with enthusiastic smiles from afar.

As the person approached, they first looked at Aowu with amazement and awe before introducing themselves:

"Mr. Li, we are from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. We apologize for our intrusion in coming here today."

Good grief, what does the Ministry of Foreign Affairs think it is?

Li Xia found it amusing but didn't care. There weren't many things in this world that he could care about anymore.

"Well, sit down."

After everyone was seated, the three women became a little more serious, exchanged glances, and the most approachable middle-aged woman spoke first:
"We didn't originally intend to disturb your rest, sir, but we received word that someone from Japan will be arriving soon—"

"Japan?"

Li Xia interrupted him directly, frowning as she asked:
"What are they here for?"

"The last super typhoon suddenly shifted its course towards Japan."

Zhao Lei glanced cautiously at the legendary dragon, then at Li Xia, who suddenly understood:

"So that's probably why they're here. And as you know, the whole of Southeast Asia belongs to the Chinese cultural sphere. The appearance of the dragon is incredibly shocking to them, after all, it's a totem and a symbol of our nation."

The little dragon was patted without being noticed, and immediately became happy, finding all three of them pleasing to the eye.

"Grandpa Long has nothing to do with them! I'm one of whoever the boss is! Tell those idiots to stay away, or Grandpa Long might just flood their little island if he's unhappy!"

Great, great, it's good that it's flooded!

The three of them were eager to agree immediately, and were also amazed by Lord Shenlong's "refined words of Jinling", but considering the more complicated things, they could only smile and agree.

"Yeah, Awoo is right."

Li Xia frowned and said softly:

"Go back and inform the other countries not to bother me here, and not to think about using someone else to do my dirty work. This world has no secrets from me."

"Okay, okay.

We share the same thought. If the gentleman wants to interact with people, he will; he's clearly staying here for peace and quiet.

Although Li Xia didn't say what the consequences of disturbing him would be, the three people present all felt a chilling killing intent.

In particular, this person is not inactive; not long ago, he went to Central Asia alone and caused a bloodbath.

According to incomplete statistics, it caused at least five thousand deaths. Yu Zi couldn't even cry, and dared not retaliate, so she could only bow her head and bear it herself.

"By the way, I'm planning to go back home to live in a while. I don't want anyone constantly watching me, and I don't need anyone to protect me."

"Can this be done?"

Li Xia picked up his teacup and casually asked.

Go home and live?
Going home—the information I had once memorized so well immediately came flooding back. Did that mean going back to Jinling?

Good heavens, such a true immortal!
The three of them felt a cold sweat break out instantly, and none of them could say whether it was good or bad for Li Xia to return home.

The only certainty was that no one dared to refuse his request.

The scene was quiet. Watching Li Xia's brows gradually furrow, the woman felt her palms sweating. To show their sincerity, they hadn't even brought an instant messaging device.

He recalled the mysterious organization's instructions when he arrived: to grant him all his requests.

The woman gritted her teeth and stammered:

"Sir, would you like to go back? You have a request—"

She wanted to say that she would do her best to fulfill any request, but before she could finish speaking, she saw Li Xia frown.

"Okay, what are your requests? What are your wishes?"
Three at most.

what?
Ah? ?

The three of them stared at Li Xia, dumbfounded, like greenhorn recruits.

------------

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

Eight thousand complete!

P.S.: Content will still be varied and quick.

PS2: Xiaoliyu was hospitalized for half a month this time, and with the surgery, the total cost was more than 16,000 yuan, of which more than 7,000 yuan was special expenses for a single room that could not be reimbursed.

In other words, if I choose a regular ward, it will only cost a little over 8,000 yuan.

When I paid the fees, I found it unbelievable that it was for the top pediatric cardiothoracic surgeon in China, the best ward at Nanjing Children's Hospital, a two- or three-hour heart surgery, a two-week hospital stay, and a three-day CCU.

The total cost was over 8,000! Medical insurance reimbursed 23,000!

Frankly speaking, if the expert who performed the surgery on the koi fish were abroad, eight thousand yuan would probably only be enough for a meeting.

Thank you to the country! Thank you to the medical insurance system! Thank you so much!
