I loaded the dream game

But you can rarely see the shadow of a young lady in her.

When Xia Zhi was thinking this, he heard the voice of a girl beside his ear.

"Brother Xia Zhi..."

He lowered his head and saw the girl winking at him, quietly handing him a black credit card.

“Password-free payment has been enabled~”

It doesn't matter how you use it. Her eyes seemed to reveal this.

Summer Solstice:…

What's this feeling of being kept by a rich loli?

"Thank you so much for your kindness." He touched the girl's head and thanked her.

Unfortunately, I have already passed the stage where I need to be supported.

After all, apart from owning the resources of several worlds, the family also has a steward like Hughie who has almost unlimited backup funds, so there is basically no need to worry about money.

...Eh, if that's the case.

From a certain perspective, I have actually been being supported by Hubie all along?

Xia Zhi shook his head and decided not to delve into the matter further, bringing the topic back to the main topic.

"Garden..."

He looked at the girl in front of him and continued to ask

"Is the sacred tree still alive?"

.......

Chapter 955: Are there other elves?

Asking whether someone is alive or not is not actually very accurate.

In fact, what Xia Zhi wanted to ask was whether the sacred tree was about to die, but he felt that it was a bit impolite to ask this, so he changed the way he said it.

But...it sounds similar?

Never mind, at least the idea is conveyed. He shook his head.

If the sacred tree is still alive, then there should be no reason for it not to restore the outside world. Is it unwilling to do so? Or has its power weakened to the point where it can no longer do such a thing?

Is the fact that Da Xie has been avoiding his request to see the sacred tree also related to this incident?

What Xia Zhi mainly wants to know are the answers to these two questions.

“He’s still alive.”

In response, Nogi Sonoko gave a reasonable answer: "But, I don't have that kind of power anymore."

Is this what Tokisaki Kurumi and the gods mentioned, that even if the problem of the gods is solved, it still does not completely solve the reason why mankind is heading towards destruction?

...No, it should have nothing to do with this.

It may sound a bit cruel to say this, but now that the threat from the gods has disappeared, humans no longer need the protection of the sacred tree. When all the gods die, what should be left for humans is a more vast world without interference from gods.

No matter how you think about it, it has little to do with things like "inevitable destruction" right?

What happened that made the gods and Tokisaki Kurumi, who were in two completely different camps, agree that humanity had no future?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but fall into deep thought

Is there a possibility

An idea came to his mind.

...What they mean is that there is no future in the literal sense?

"Am I right?"

Xia Zhi's gaze fell on the shadow outside the balcony not far away: "Miss Time Elf over there?"

After a brief silence, his words were responded to by a distorted and expanding shadow and a smiling girl's voice.

"Haha, Mr. Xia Zhi, you are really quite smart."

As the shadow faded, a black-haired girl wearing a red and black Gothic dress walked out.

The girl lifted her skirt slightly, bent her knees slightly, and saluted gracefully to the people in the room:

"Good evening, Lord God, his lovely brave sister, and..."

Tokisaki Kurumi's gaze fell on the silver-haired girl on the bed beside her who was looking at her with curiosity. After a pause, she continued meaningfully:

"...Good evening, Miss Siyuan Elf."

Mio tilted her head slightly, revealing a somewhat confused expression.

Xia Zhi looked at her on the balcony and continued to ask:

"You came to me for the matter of saving the world that you mentioned before?"

"Ah, in the eyes of God, am I the kind of woman who only comes for business?"

is it?

Xia Zhi thought about it, changed his train of thought and asked:

"So you're here to compete with Mio for the man?"

When Mio heard this, her expression immediately became alert.

"Oh? This feels interesting, too."

Tokisaki Kurumi tapped his chin lightly with his fingers, pretending to think seriously for a moment, and looked at Nogi Sonoko beside him intentionally or unintentionally. When he saw her slightly tilting her head and looking back at him with a puzzled look, he smiled sweetly.

"...But forget it. It would be a terrible thing if the Origin Spirits were hostile to you."

"What's more, we will need her help later," she said.

And you said you didn't come here for this matter.

Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"You really surprised me."

Tokisaki Kurumi looked at him again and continued, "I didn't expect that you actually solved all the gods."

As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually disappeared and her voice became slightly lower.

"If... you had come earlier, maybe you wouldn't..."

"What?" Xia Zhi tilted his head.

"...No, no." The girl took a deep breath and raised her head again.

Although the power of this young god from another world was far stronger than she had imagined.

But

"It's too late to say that now."

Is it too late?

"It's not too late for the time elf, right?" Xia Zhi said.

"It's too late."

Tokisaki Kurumi narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a meaningful tone: "Even for me, there are some things that cannot be changed."

Things that can't be changed...

Hearing her words, Xia Zhi recalled something. To confirm, he looked at the girl and said:

"Although according to you, the real problem has not yet been solved, but in return for helping to eliminate the gods, can you answer a few questions for me?"

"Sure." Tokisaki Kurumi answered straightforwardly.

·· ···Request flowers· ·······

Just like the boy said, compared to the achievement of destroying the gods, the reward for answering a few questions is nothing.

"What does Mr. Xia Zhi want to know?" She tilted her head slightly and continued, "By the way, I don't use a bank card either."

When you say "no need", you don't mean that you don't need a bank card to "withdraw money", right?

Xia Zhi complained in his heart, shook his head, and brought his thoughts back to the topic.

According to Sonoko, the world was destroyed once because they tried to change their past behavior two years ago.

But the world today still exists intact, as if the destruction in the past had never happened.

The power to go back in time is limited. In front of the power of the gods, even the power of the elves and the brave men seems too weak.

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

They were unable to save a little girl, let alone save the world they once knew.

When faced with unpredictable disasters such as natural disasters, with limited power, no matter how hard we try, we will never be able to undo anything.

So, it’s not a retrospection... but some force that negates everything.

Tokisaki Kurumi said at the time that she did not save the world...the person who truly saved the world was not her.

But if not her, who else could it be?

In that era, besides Sonoko and the others, was there anyone else in the world who could have possessed that kind of power?

Xia Zhi only thought of one possibility

"Before we arrived, there were other elves in this world besides you, right?" He looked into the girl's eyes and asked seriously.

"..."

Faced with his question, the girl fell silent.

After a long time, she let out a long sigh and smiled again.

"...Mr. Xia Zhi, you are really very smart."

Tokisaki Kurumi's answer confirmed Xia Zhi's guess.

Mio and Kurumi are not the only elves that came to this world.

In this case

Xia Zhi asked the next question: "So, where is she now?"

"Regarding this question..."

After thinking for a moment, the girl did not answer immediately. Instead, she looked at him and invited him with a smile:

"Mr. Xiazhi."

"Want to go somewhere with me?"

……Several.

Chapter 956: The Spirits in the Past

Lush forests, crystal clear streams, birdsong echoing in the valleys, and the sound of rushing waterfalls in the distance.

If you come here during the day, the scenery should be quite nice.

Unfortunately, apart from a little moonlight and starlight in the night sky, there is no other light to help distinguish the surrounding things. If an ordinary person comes here, he might trip if he is not careful, right?

Walking in the remote valley at night, Xia Zhi began to think in his heart, why did he not go to sleep in the warm bed with his girlfriend's soft body in his arms late at night, but run all the way to this place where there is not even a street light?

Beside him, Nogi Sonoko was looking at the surrounding scene with great interest, as if she was reminiscing and comparing something. Compared with her, Mio was also very curious, but her attention was still more focused on the boy.

This leads to...

"ah!"

Nogi Sonoko, who was distracted, seemed to be tripped by something and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xia Zhi pulled her up in time.

"Five Seven Seven"

"Be careful."
