I loaded the dream game

Fortunately, he does have unconscious bodies... For example, Eluko's human body and Cong Yun's body.

Just a little unexpected

"You're in there?"

Xia Zhi said this, reaching out and rubbing the girl's soft green hair... It felt like he hadn't touched it for a long time.

Because Cong Yu was given the authority to enter and exit at will, and considering that there was a similar need, Cong Yun was also given the authority to enter and change bodies...

It seemed like she just woke up at this moment, and when she was transferring her consciousness into her body as usual, she was pulled here by herself?

Xia Zhi thought in his heart and greeted the girl: "Good morning, Cong Yun."

Hearing this, Cong Yun smiled happily, walked up to him, hugged him, and rubbed his cheek against his

"Master~"

Nogi Sonoko, who was standing by, blinked her eyes.

"Brother Xia Zhi...it seems like you're capturing girls faster and faster now."

Just by patting the head, people call you master...isn't this a bit too open?

"Stockholm?" Thinking of what happened just now, she tilted her head slightly.

"Not at all!" Xia Zhi replied unhappily, "And he's not the 'master' you think he is."

Nogi Sonoko was not surprised by the boy's denial. She knew it was not the case. From the way the boy addressed the girl just now, she could tell that they must have known each other for a long time.

But the question still remains, who is this child?

"Look, as a god, it's normal for me to have a subordinate god or something, right?"

Xia Zhi stroked the little head of the girl who was clinging to him, thought for a moment, and then answered and explained:

"Strictly speaking, unlike me, Cong Yun is also a Earth God."

Nogi Sonoko looked puzzled: "Similar to the God Tree Master?"

"They are either similar or the same kind of gods." Xia Zhi corrected and replied.

It’s just that the sacred tree is a collection of many earth gods, while Cong Yun is just an independent earth god.

On the other side, Nogi Sonoko opened her eyes slightly in surprise.

It is totally unimaginable that this cute child who looks younger than me is actually the same kind of being as the sacred tree that is as tall as the pillar of the world.

...But it is true that the hair color is quite green

Huh? Wait, that means...

"...Brother Xia Zhi, not only have you 'abducted' the hero, but now you can even abduct the Divine Tree 'itself'?" She asked with a blink of her eyes.

Summer Solstice:…

It feels a bit strange to hear you, one of the parties involved, say this.

And...can you tell me how your brain circuit turned to this?

He complained in his heart, then shook his head slightly.

Never mind. This isn't the point.

Now he has more important things to do.

Xia Zhi thought to himself, turned around, and looked at the fake sky outside the wall...

.......

Chapter 940: The Sea of ​​Trees Arrives Again

The sea breeze blew gently, bringing with it a hint of salty and fishy smell. The frozen time returned to normal, and the vast sea surface was slightly undulating, reflecting the sparkling light in the sun.

Compared to before, the sacred tree did not fully deploy the sea of ​​trees barrier this time, it simply made the world's time stand still.

Perhaps it was because the wall had not been completely broken, and no power from the gods had invaded.

Or maybe... its power is almost exhausted and must be used sparingly?

As Xia Zhi thought about it, his technique of caressing the girl gradually began to become like that of petting a cat. He couldn't help but knead her delicate and fair face and gently scratched her chin.

Cong Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, looking very comfortable.

"Lord Earth God, you are like a cat under Brother Xia Zhi's hands." Seeing this, Nogi Sonoko sighed.

“You actually behave in a similar way.”

“…Huh? Eh?”

Nogi Sonoko blinked

...When have I ever been touched like this by Brother Xia Zhi?

As she was thinking this and trying to recall the past, she heard the boy calling her again.

"Garden."

"Hmm?" Nogi Sonoko immediately came back to her senses.

"What do you think about what Dongxiang said?" Xia Zhi asked, changing the subject.

"Well... there must be a way when you reach the mountain?" the girl replied after hesitating for a moment.

It means the same thing as "There will definitely be a way when the time comes."

"Please be more specific. What are Nogi Sonoko's own thoughts?"

Xia Zhi continued to ask without caring.

"Well, what am I thinking..."

Nogi Sonoko turned around and looked at the blue sea behind her. The sunlight shone on the girl's bright eyes, which were slightly sparkling.

"If it were me in the past, I wouldn't do the same thing, but I would probably condone Kouji's behavior, right?"

"...Is there any difference between your behavior just now and indulgence?" Xia Zhi complained unhappily.

"Hey hey hey..."

Nogi Sonoko smiled sheepishly, blinked at him and said:

"I believe in you, Brother Xia Zhi~"

Thank you for your trust, Xia Zhi thought.

Nogi Sonoko slightly turned her eyes away and continued with a sigh: "I was actually quite desperate about the world today."

"what about now?"

“I won’t have that kind of thought anymore.”

The girl replied.

“We are all, in fact, bound to the past.”

"But now I have to work hard for the future."

"Even if it's just a little bit... I want to spend as much time as possible with Xiaoji, everyone, and... with you, Brother Xia Zhi, and create more beautiful memories."

The girl turned around, stared at Xia Zhi, and said with a faint smile on her face

"I have such thoughts because of Brother Xia Zhi...so, it is you who changed me."

Change?

The change I brought to her was not just a change in identity.

Xia Zhi thought about it and waved to her.

Although she was somewhat confused, Nogi Sonoko still stepped forward.

Then, she only had time to let out a surprised "Ah?" before the young man hugged her and held her in his arms together with Cong Yun.

Although this wasn't the first time that the boy had hugged me like this, but...

Yuanzi subconsciously glanced at the Earth God beside her and saw that she didn't seem to mind?

Then, she blushed and looked in the direction of Togo and Yuna on the other side. Seeing that they were not paying attention to this side, she breathed a sigh of relief, squinted her eyes and comfortably enjoyed the touch from the boy.

"Garden."

"Hmm?" The girl's slightly nasal voice came from his arms.

Xia Zhi asked the next question: "Have you ever thought about what your dream is when you grow up?"

"dream?"

"If I don't want to be a hero anymore, here's what I want to do in the future."

Sonoko thought for a moment: "Hmm... I don't usually have anything I want to do, except sleeping and daydreaming, or finding a place to daydream."

By the way, Nogi Sonoko is actually a top student, the kind of genius who can easily get full marks if she answers questions normally.

Sure enough, God is fair. While endowing Yuanzi with natural attributes, he also deprived her of the worries about studying.

"Oh, yes, I have started to serialize the novel that was interrupted before on the website again~"

Xia Zhi knew this, after all, she always said she was collecting writing materials every time she went on a date.

"In the long run, I hope I can be with you all happily every day~"

"Your hopes for the future are really simple." Xia Zhi couldn't help but complain.

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

"There's nothing I can do. These are all I can think of for now." The girl buried her head in his arms and said this with her eyes closed.

But...

"Brother Xia Zhi...that kind of thing is impossible."

I won't be a hero anymore... Even if there is no need to fight against the gods, it is impossible.

The definition of a hero is no longer as simple as before.

The girl raised her head and stared at her, with a faint light flashing in her eyes.

"I will always be your hero."

"You said it yourself, so you can't go back on your word!"

Xia Zhi sighed slightly and touched her head.

"Yeah, I won't regret it."

After receiving the boy's promise, Nogi Sonoko finally lay back contentedly.

..... .... ...

Seeing her calm down again, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, I was planning to wait until the main quest came out before resolving the matter with the gods, to avoid any possible conflicts with the released quests...

But who made him promise those things to the girls?

After all, the words have been spoken.

"last question."

He looked at the girl in his arms and asked:

"Garden

Do you want to see a real sunrise? "

Nogi Sonoko was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what the boy meant.

The next moment, she saw a silver-white light flashing in the boy's hand.

…Although they were both very warm, it felt like a completely different force from the divine power I had encountered before. Was it another force?

Before she could think about this question clearly, she heard the shrill cell phone alarms sounding in everyone's pockets at the same time.

At the same time, the time that had originally resumed its flow stopped again.

"Eh?"
