This has led to a series of problems.

What exactly was this last wish?

Did all three Crimson Gods agree to carry out this last wish?

Who will carry out this last wish? Will it be done by the three creator gods together, or will they have different roles?

The three Crimson Gods, existing solely within the Crimson World, may have achieved a certain balance. However, with the Crimson World constantly expanding outwards, can this balance continue to be maintained?

This was the problem that Momo was considering, and Momo sensed the smell of struggle in it.

What is Best?

Momo can be understood as a Crimson Lord with divine abilities, an incarnation of Momo's former administrator. Best's power is undoubtedly immense, perhaps so powerful that even the Crimson God must take a step back.

In that case, Best itself would become a huge bargaining chip, and this chip has always been in the hands of the guiding god.

Now, with the assurances of the God of Punishment and the Serpent of Ritual, Best has left the Crimson World to carry out a mission, and will then try to integrate into the Crimson World's large family—which largely refers to the power of the God of Punishment and the Serpent of Ritual.

What does all of this signify?

Momo really wanted to ask Best, "You were lured into doing these things, did the guiding god who saved you ever comment on it?"

Or did you not consult the guiding deity before being dragged out like this?

Perhaps the guiding God is weeping right now because of your departure!

212 So, am I a massage stick after all?

"What are you thinking?"

Best looked at Momo with a puzzled expression. It was clear that Momo had never considered all of this from the beginning; it was simply not within her comprehension.

Although it still had a cat's face, Momo could see the purity and innocence in Best's eyes. This made Momo, who had originally intended to tell Best her thoughts, choose to remain silent.

After all, all of this was merely Momo's speculation; he had no evidence or certainty. Furthermore, even if Momo's guesses were true, the fact that Best, as the central figure, remained unaware of the secret was clearly a deliberate act by the Crimson World.

Even when Crimson World was engaged in internal strife, it never let Best know the truth. On Momo's side, in order to create distance between Best and Crimson World, should he tear apart the beautiful illusion and show it to Best?

That was indeed one method, but not the one Momo would use. Indeed, if it were facing the cat-eared loli Best, Momo should have relied on her sincerity and honesty!

“It’s not what I’m thinking,” Momo gently tapped Best’s little cat head and said, “It’s that you haven’t answered my question yet: do you want to consider leaving the Crimson World and staying with me?”

Best was taken aback, then realized that she had ignored Momo's question because she was surprised, but now Momo had brought it up again.

She stared blankly at Mo Mo. She had never considered this question before. It wasn't just a matter of being unprepared; it was completely beyond her comprehension.

Just as most humans wouldn't consider how they would live after becoming a cat, Best had never considered leaving the Crimson World and living a completely new life as a human.

Momo was well aware that this question was far too radical for Best at the moment, so he asked, "I know this is a difficult question to answer. How about we break it down into smaller parts?"

"Split?"

"That's right, split it up."

Momo certainly couldn't let Best make the decision right now. Faced with the vast unknown, the first instinctive reaction of humans or other intelligent beings would be fear and resistance, rather than acceptance.

"First of all, Best, what is Crimson World to you, and what kind of feelings do you have towards it?"

Compared to the radical question raised by Momo above, Momo's question is much more realistic for Best, because Momo is asking Best about the Crimson World, and Best can answer with his own experience.

“Crimson World…”

Best pondered quietly, its small tail swaying on Momo's wrist before instinctively wrapping around it. This meant that Best was probably subconsciously looking for someone to lean on.

"Crimson World is where I was born, and it will continue to be where I live in the future."

It was a very ordinary answer, but it was very much in line with Best's style. However, Momo shook his finger and said, "No, Best, before we talk about it, you must understand what is a fact and what is an opinion."

"Facts and opinions?"

"Yes, facts are things that are absolutely correct or have already happened, while opinions are what you think and believe, but they are not necessarily correct; they may be wrong."

"As you just said, the Crimson World is where you were born, that's a fact. And you will continue to live in the Crimson World in the future, that's your view, which can be right or wrong."

Best tilted his cat head slightly and said, "I don't quite understand."

“For example,” Momo pointed to the still dark window in the distance and said, “If the Crimson World gives you a long mission in the future, to guard a world forever, would you accept it?”

Best thought for a moment and said, "I will accept it."

"Even if I live alone in another world, I would have no regrets and be able to accept it?"

Best nodded and said, "That's how I've always done it."

Looking at Best's calm demeanor, Mo Mo sensed an unspeakable loneliness hidden beneath this composure. So Mo Mo gently pinched Best's ear and said, "In that case, your earlier statement that you would always live in the Crimson World was wrong, wasn't it?"

This time, Best seemed to understand and said, "In other words, I should say that I was born in the Crimson World, and I may live in the Crimson World in the future, or I may not live in the Crimson World, right?"

Momo smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's the smart Best I know and love!"

Best seemed pleased with Momo's praise, rubbing his head against Momo's palm before saying, "Now, let's move on to the next question."

After thinking for a few more seconds, Best said, "I was born in the Crimson World. Although the things that happened there made me very unhappy, I will do my best to complete this mission and make the Crimson World my home..."

After saying that, Best saw Momo shaking his finger and immediately realized that she had misunderstood the point of view and the facts again, so she changed her words and said, "I hope that Crimson World will become my home and a place for me to return to."

As she spoke, a hint of understanding seemed to appear in Best's eyes. She seemed to understand her own thoughts and said, "I... I want a home, a home like a human home, a home where someone can care about me, and then..."

"No longer alone."

After saying that, Best fell silent, its tail tightly wrapped around Momo's wrist, and said no more.

Momo remained silent with Best for a long time before finally speaking: "Best, do you think the Crimson World can become the home you imagine? Can those who hurt you in the Crimson World really be as close to you as you think?"

"Can your viewpoint become a reality in the Red World?"

Momo's words made Best flinch. She was clearly reminded of the unpleasant days in the Crimson World, and the faces that had offended her. And now, was she to place her hopes on those people?

"I have no idea."

Best shook her head; she genuinely didn't know. In her mind, none of this seemed suspicious; it was all inevitable. But after Momo's few words, everything before her eyes seemed to blur.

Will what she hopes for really come true?

Don't be sad!

Momo comforted Best's cat ears and said, "Then let's change the subject. What is the guiding god to you, and what feelings do you have for it?"

Momo changed the subject, which relieved Best. She thought for a few seconds and said, "The Guide God is a good Crimson World being. It taught me how to control my power and made me an acceptable being."

Best finished speaking, right under Mo Mo's somewhat nervous gaze. This only piqued Mo Mo's curiosity, and she asked, "To you, is its value just being given a 'nice guy' card? Haven't you considered repaying it or doing something for it?"

Upon hearing this, Best slowly shook his head and said, "I... don't like it. It taught me everything with conditions. Its condition was that I should always be alone in peace and not communicate with other Crimson World beings, because my power is still too dangerous."

Best lowered her head, clearly feeling somewhat disappointed. But Best's words made Momo frown; the relationship between the guiding god and Best was truly beyond his expectations.

Indeed, trying to deduce the thoughts of the three Crimson Gods and the current state of the Crimson World from the seemingly innocent Best was far too naive. However, from Best's words, Mo Mo vaguely sensed that the guiding god clearly also had an ulterior motive.

But what exactly is the purpose of this?

"So, you're actually a little rascal who snuck out?"

Momo's words made Best stiffen. She quickly said, "This is permitted by the God of Heavenly Punishment and the Serpent of Sacrifice."

The topic has subtly circled back to the point that, in Best's view, the God of Punishment and the God of Creation are on the same level as the God of Guidance. Therefore, anything that the God of Punishment and the God of Creation allow and approve of must be correct and worth doing. This is Best's current line of reasoning.

It can't be called a mistake, but it's clear that Best has unknowingly become embroiled in some kind of struggle.

Momo temporarily abandoned the topic. The brief exchange had already allowed Momo to understand Best's state of mind, and that was enough for Momo to take action.

"So, Best, let me ask you one last question. What am I to you? What feelings do you have for me? And what would you think if I invited you to start a family with me and then leave the Crimson World?"

Best's breath hitched slightly. Although she didn't quite understand what Momo was trying to do, she knew that these questions were absolutely important, both for herself and for Momo.

Having experienced this twice before, Best had a basic understanding of the difference between reality and perspective. She did not reject Momo's question, but instead began to seriously consider the answers to all of this.

"You... are Mo Mo, someone who makes me feel very comfortable."

Mo Mo's lips twitched. He wasn't very satisfied with this answer. In the end, was he just a human massage device?

Fortunately, Best's subsequent performance restored Momo's confidence.

Best turned the cat's head away, seemingly subconsciously meeting Mo Mo's gaze with resentment. His voice also softened a little as he said, "And I can feel that you like me from the bottom of your heart, like to be close to me, and that no matter what I am, you crave me."

“This makes me very happy. You are the first and only one like this.”

"So, I also like being around you, because I feel very relaxed, comfortable, and at ease when I'm with you."

Now, Best has answered two questions, and she continued, "As for what you said about forming a family with you and leaving the Crimson World... I'm sorry, I still don't understand, just like I don't understand why you insist on mating with me."

Is there any necessary connection between these two?

213 What exactly did Momo say?

Although Best is currently a powerful Crimson World Demon Lord, her experiences have determined that Best's logic and thinking are chaotic and disordered, lacking a mature system. After all, cognition and rationality are not things that grow naturally; they need to be improved through communication with others and through experience.

Many of her ideas are based on very basic logical concepts, which are fine on their own, but when put together, they give a sense of Best's somewhat absurd naiveté.

While this is one of Best's endearing traits, it also makes it somewhat difficult for Momo to communicate with Best in a normal way.

However, this did not stump Momo. Since Best's values ​​were problematic, what Momo needed to do now was to help Best establish correct values, enable Best to have complete logical thinking, and become someone with whom he could communicate and have in-depth conversations.

At this moment, Momo transforms into a kind cat-like teacher, intending to teach her some truths about being human, while also finding a way to get Best and Momo to work together to put these truths into practice.

"Of course they're related!"

Momo responded to Best's question with a confident expression. This only confused Best more. Had she really made a mistake?

"Just like before, we'll break down the complex components and analyze them step by step."

Best nodded, looking at Momo earnestly with a diligent and eager-to-learn attitude, ready to accept Momo's... cough, personal instruction.

"First, let's clarify our ultimate goal. Best, your goal is to have a home where you feel relaxed and happy, right?"

Best frowned slightly and said, "I want to make Crimson World my home..."

“These modifiers and adjectives are meaningless. What we are focused on right now is the ultimate goal. Everything else is just your current thought. Your ultimate goal is to have a home. That is the meaning of breaking down the problem.”

Mo Mo's words were so compelling that Best's cat eyes flashed repeatedly. In the end, she nodded, temporarily agreeing with Mo Mo's statement.

"Yes...that's how it is."

Seeing that Best was beginning to understand his deeper meaning, Momo's smile grew even more wise as he said, "Now that we've grasped our final objective, it's time to see what you think. As we just said, ideas can be right or wrong."
