"That's good, that's good! I thought Xiao Ai had been kidnapped! If the other party is also a World God, I'll be in a lot of trouble." Shen Qi patted her chest, and the ahoge (cowlick) on her head slowly softened. Ye Ge shuddered and tentatively asked, "You... you figured it out?"

“True gods are interconnected. Although you are only a half-baked one, as long as your status remains, I will not misperceive you.”

Shenqi waved her hand dismissively, casually found a place to sit down, crossed her legs, and let her ahoge (cowlick) sway gently. She looked at Yege with amusement: "But it's really rare. It's been a long time since we've seen a new world god appear. At most, there are gods who possess divine kingdoms."

In fact, true gods of the world are already very rare, because most worlds have their own world consciousness. They do not have a fixed form and maintain the world's order like sophisticated artificial intelligence. True gods will not be born in such worlds. Therefore, conscious world gods are already very rare, and even gods with half-world-level divine kingdoms are almost extinct.

Section 198, page 194: I outwardly appeared envious.

"It's just a little trick. As you can see, I'm still a human being."

Yege spread his hands, revealing his spirit core to Shenqi without any concealment. The spirit core, now free from the Pandora's Box cover, was directly displayed. A flash of purple light appeared in Shenqi's eyes, and she read the information about Yege's spirit core. She sighed in disappointment: "What? I thought another god of the same level as me had appeared. It seems he relied on external forces."

Shenqi pointed to Pandora's box behind Yege, a look of interest on her face: "But containers that can contain the origin of the world are really rare, and your body is not simple either. Although you still retain the human race, your various indicators have far exceeded those of others, right? Even as a human, you can use the power of a god."

Ye Ge bowed slightly, showing respect to her senior: "As you can see, this is exactly my purpose. I hope that Lady Shen Qi can teach me something. There is still a small problem in my world, and I hope to get your help. Of course, it won't be free. You can make a request that I can fulfill."

"Ok?"

Shenqi leaned back in the soft chair, her ahoge (cowlick) pointing at Yege, still twitching. With a cute, innocent look, she pointed at Pandora's Box and asked, "Can I have it?" Clearly, Shenqi had developed a desire to study Pandora's Box, which could contain the world.

"You're too much of a joker."

Ye Ge's lips twitched. Pandora's Box was his lifeline, how could he possibly give it to her? If Shen Qi hadn't said those words, he would have definitely gone up and slapped her right then and there. It was like asking Shen Qi to give him the Demon Realm; he'd be lucky if she didn't turn him into an atom. However, out of consideration for her feelings, Ye Ge held back.

"Hmm... It's a shame you're not giving it to me."

Shen Qi shook her head, but she wasn't too disappointed. Asking a true god of the world for his world, what's the worst that could happen? She'd beat the dog out of its head.

“Then, I want to visit the Demon Realm.” Ye Ge spread his hands, and the purple magic circle was compressed into a chaotic mass of magic power. However, as he moved, the magic power slowly returned to its original position, revealing its original complex patterns again. Shen Qi’s ahoge stood up straight: “It seems you’ve figured out what I gave Xiao Ai.”

“A little trick, but I still went to great lengths to get this.” Yege’s smile remained unchanged: “Don’t worry, Lady Shenqi, I didn’t do anything harmful to Miss Alice. I just asked her to show me the magic book, so please put away your hostility.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Qi's expression relaxed, returning to her languid state. She nodded knowingly and pointed her slender white finger at Ye Ge opposite her: "Alright, I agree to your request, but in return, I'd like you to make a request, which shouldn't be a big deal for you."

"Please speak."

"I want to ask you to protect Xiao Ai during this crisis. If the worst happens, then take her into your world."

Shinki's expression suddenly turned serious, leaving Yoru somewhat puzzled: "Although you can't come to Gensokyo for the time being, Miss Alice shouldn't be harmed, right? Why are you making such a simple request?"

Given the current level of peace in Gensokyo, combined with Alice's own strength and powerful backing, the possibility of her encountering danger is extremely low. Moreover, Yukari Yakumo and the others would not simply ignore the situation. Shinki's request is utterly pointless, yet she has been given guidance for such a request. Yoruka can't help but feel somewhat suspicious.

"Your appearance is not simply a matter of being a newly promoted world god."

Shinki sighed, her voice tinged with melancholy: "Your appearance has made it possible for Gensokyo to become a world, but this is against the rules. However, Yukari Yakumo cannot give up this opportunity, which means that conflict with this world is inevitable. I have glimpsed a corner of the future, but I cannot predict the exact time. Therefore, I hope that you can protect Ai in places where my hands cannot reach. This is my request."

Ye Ge nodded. Agreeing to this condition would definitely not be a loss for him. Everyone would get what they wanted, wouldn't that be a win-win situation? "I agree to your request, and I hope you will keep your promise."

"Come now."

Shinki snapped her fingers, and the magic circle on Yagami's hand exploded. Purple magic scattered at Yagami's feet, then coalesced into a new magic circle, much larger than before. Yagami waved her hand to retrieve Pandora's Box, pulled Evolto over, and stood with her. The center of the magic circle shone brightly, and the two of them, along with Shinki, disappeared from the Yorozuya.

"Have they left?"

Outside, Mokou and the others walked in with complicated expressions, and behind them was a blonde woman. Yakumo Yukari narrowed her eyes and searched the house, but unfortunately, there was no trace left, not even a trace of magic. Shinki's methods were very clean, so naturally she would not leave any handle that could be used to track or see through her.

"They must have already arrived in the Demon Realm."

A thoughtful look flashed in Yukari Yakumo's eyes. Yoru's barrier had hindered her senses, but it was easily broken when Shinki teleported. As a result, everyone outside felt the fleeting surge of magical power. Mokou and Keine lowered their eyes, but did not show any disappointment. They believed that Yoru would not forget them because of her power.

"Hiss! The energy concentration in the Demon Realm is exceptionally high."

Standing on the land of the Demon Realm, Yoru gasped, and Evotlo's beautiful eyes widened as she took several deep breaths. The air in the Demon Realm was filled with a considerable amount of magical energy, even surpassing the spiritual energy of Gensokyo. Shinki stood to the side, hands on her hips, looking smug like a child showing off their achievement.

"How's my world?"

"Awesome! Absolutely awesome!"

Ye Ge said this with a sour tone, outwardly appearing envious, but in reality, he was truly envious! This level of magic distribution was many times higher than that of the Honkai World, a testament to the world's strength. And the creatures produced by this world could easily crush the so-called Honkai Beasts in the Honkai World.

"The strength of a world depends on the power of its creator. Then the world will continue to evolve until it becomes complete. In this process, the power of the world god will also be sublimated." Shenqi told Yege directly about the secret of the world. Then she leaned back and all the creatures that her gaze swept over bowed down to her: "For the world, the true god is everything, and in one's own world, the power of the world god will be amplified to the limit."

Section 199, page 195: Maids beating their masters is standard practice.

This Night Song has a very direct experience. In the Honkai world, he symbolizes the rules, is omnipotent, knows all truths, and can turn the world upside down with a wave of his hand. However, in Gensokyo, his power is greatly suppressed.

"Let's go back to my palace first."

With a flick of her finger, Shen Qi and the three vanished from the demon realm's formidable enemy, instantly teleporting to a magnificent palace. The maids inside showed little surprise upon seeing Shen Qi and bowed respectfully.

"Lady Shinki, welcome back."

"Let me introduce you, this is my maid, Yumeko-chan! By the way, she's a C-cup, and she likes to wear... hehe!"

Shinki suddenly felt a heavy blow to the head, her eyes swirling like mosquito coils as she collapsed to the ground. Yumeko withdrew her broom, concealing the fleeting blush on her face. "Lady Shinki, please don't embarrass yourself in front of the guests."

"That's too much, Yumeko-chan! How could you treat your master like this?" Shinki swayed as she got up, pursed her lips, and looked aggrieved, while Yumeko remained expressionless: "I'm sorry, Shinki-sama, please don't expose the filthy thoughts in your mind, or I won't be able to resist cracking open your skull."

"This is the only thing you absolutely must not do!"

Shinki trembled and hid behind Yoru, leaving Evolto and him speechless. It was truly a disgrace to the world god that the creator was being bullied by his own creation.

Having calmed down, Mengzi bowed to Yege and the others: "Then please follow me, my two guests."

Yoru and Evolto were led into the hall by Yumeko, where two cups of black tea were brewed and some diluted snacks were served. Although it was the Demon World, the snacks were Western-style. Yoru picked them up and ate them. After all, Shinki also had her own dignity, and based on the cooperation between the two parties, she had no reason to harm him.

"Awaited."

Yumeko dragged Shinki in, accompanied by Shinki's screams:

"Ouch, ouch, ouch, no! My ahoge (cowlick) is going to fall out!"

The ahoge (cowlick) that Yumeko was holding drooped down as if it had been wilted, and it was even twitching slightly. Shinki's body also started to twist. Yoru was speechless. Sure enough, the ahoge god's true form is the ahoge, right?

"Alright, let's talk about world affairs."

Ten minutes later, Shen Qi, her hair slightly disheveled, sat solemnly opposite Ye Ge, looking like a hermit. Having seen Shen Qi's previous eccentric behavior, Ye Ge could no longer associate her with the noble and mysterious demon god.

"Should I do this?" Night Song asked.

Shen Qi smoothed her hair and slowly began to speak: "Due to privacy reasons, I cannot show you the laws of the Demon Realm. Moreover, my world is already complete, and overly complex truth attributes are difficult to understand. So let's start with something simple and let me see your world."

"I understand."

Just as Ye Ge was about to activate it, Shen Qi stopped him, spreading her arms and unleashing a purple barrier that enveloped the three of them. Ye Ge looked at the barrier with some confusion: "Why create an independent alternate dimension? Wouldn't it be easier to just stop time in the world?"

Shen Qi shook her head: "I rarely interfere in the affairs of the Demon Realm anymore. This world has its own way of developing. As its creators, we only need to watch it develop and not make too many changes. This world is the culmination of my efforts, so I hope it can grow in the most natural way."

"I don't quite understand." Ye Ge frowned. He had no experience in creation, so he naturally didn't understand Shen Qi's theory. He stopped talking nonsense, and Pandora's Box appeared and resonated with him. He directly opened the Collapsed World and invited Shen Qi to enter it. Shen Qi did not resist and entered Ye Ge's world smoothly.

"You...stopped time in this world?"

Shenqi noticed something was wrong as soon as she entered; the entire world was frozen in time. Yege helplessly shrugged: "There's nothing I can do. I didn't create this world. If we let it evolve like this, something might happen. I also stole my position as the god of this world, and I could be overthrown at any time."

Shen Qi frowned and nodded, casually glancing around before understanding the basic situation of the world: "The energy concentration in the air isn't high, so this world doesn't seem very advanced, but it's still stronger than most ordinary worlds. Take me to see what's beyond the heavens."

Ye Ge nodded. After entering the Collapsed World, his power amplified to the limit, allowing him to move freely. The place beyond the heavens that Shen Qi mentioned was not unfamiliar to him. It was the abode of the World God, from which one could overlook the entire world and the laws of truth.

The three arrived beyond the heavens, where the place was completely empty except for a purple throne in the center. It was Ye Ge's seat, but he didn't sit down, because Shen Qi was still there, and sitting down in front of her would be disrespectful. Ye Ge stood respectfully beside her, watching Shen Qi continuously collecting data, and asked:

"Did you notice anything?"

"I can only say that the situation is not very good."

Shen Qi sighed and patted the purple throne: "You are not the creator, but a rebel who usurped the throne of God. Therefore, although you possess this world, you should also realize that you can only be omniscient, not omnipotent. This is because your compatibility with the world is not high enough, and some core laws still reject your control."

Shenqi paused for a moment, looked at the gray, stagnant world, and smiled: "However, your approach is not wrong. If this world were allowed to develop unchecked, perhaps after a long period of time, an existence would be born to compete with you for the position of true god. But since you have directly stopped time, this problem is naturally eliminated."

"Then what should I do?" Ye Ge asked urgently, realizing her weakness and wanting to make up for it as much as possible.

The ahoge (cowlick) on Shinki's head spun and finally pointed to Pandora's box in Evolto's hand: "Take that container and go to the core of the world. There you will find the answer you need."

Night Song nodded, agreeing to Shinki's suggestion. She leaned close to Evolto's ear and whispered a few words to him before reluctantly glancing at Night Song, giving him a quick kiss on the lips, and then turning back into liquid and merging back into Night Song's body. The core of the world is the most essential manifestation of this world, and only those with complete divine authority can enter it.

With a flash of purple light, when Ye Ge opened his eyes again, Pandora's Box had already merged into his body. He was now temporarily outside the realm of humanity and had reached the state of a world god, just like Shen Qi. The core of the world was a sphere emitting purple light. In Shen Qi's eyes, there was only some basic information to read, but in Ye Ge's perception, laws extended from it, planning the entire world.

“If you take complete control of it, you can fully embrace the world.”

Section 200, page 196: The solution is to clap (laughs).

Night Song nodded. The information floating around him was almost making him dizzy. He quickly closed his eyes and immersed himself completely in it. Evolto seemed a little restless inside his body, but she soon had no time to complain. A large amount of underlying laws poured in, and she and Night Song were immersed in the ocean of truth.

"Ugh, they've just abandoned me?"

Shen Qi stretched lazily out of boredom, walked to the core of the world and looked left and right, but could not see anything except some basic world information. She yawned, and Shen Qi's figure flashed and walked directly out of this world. Ye Ge seemed to sense it, but did not stop her. Without him opening the passage, Shen Qi naturally passed through.

"Is this the basic rule of the world?"

The truth of the world unfolded before Ye Ge's eyes. As he deciphered each rule, several golden law characters danced before him. Although they did not resist Ye Ge, they also did not allow him to control them. Ye Ge tried to read and analyze them, but these rules seemed to flicker as if they were sentient. This was the world's self-protection mechanism. Ye Ge could only be considered half a master. If the Honkai Will destroyed humanity and reached its true complete form, her original world consciousness would be able to read and control it without any hindrance.

"I refuse to believe that, since everything is mine, I can't do anything to you?"

Night Song angrily pulled out the driver:

Evolution!

A star-shaped vortex appeared in his hand. Night Song forcefully placed the star ring into it. He accepted the position of god with the Evol armor, so naturally he would also use this form to analyze the truth. The huge suction force successfully bound those core rules. They twisted a few times unwillingly, but were still bound by the vortex. It was a pity that Night Song did not have the black hole trigger. Otherwise, he would not have needed to go to such great lengths. He could have just destroyed them all and rebuilt them.

"Tsk, this is a bit difficult."

Ye Ge slowly exhaled, and his body began to emit a pale purple glow. With his breath, the heavens and earth seemed to inhale and exhale, and the entire world provided him with energy. Purple rays shot from Ye Ge's eyes, striking the golden chains of laws. The laws trembled, almost collapsing, and were no longer able to resist Ye Ge's analysis.

Over the next few days, Ye Ge immersed himself in the core of the world, reading the basic laws day and night. The original golden chains had mostly disappeared, and now only one chain still retained its original color. The others, which Ye Ge had mastered, had long since turned purple and floated outside.

"How's it going? Is it finished?"

Shenqi munched on her cake, her beautiful eyes fixed on the troubled Yege. She couldn't see Yege's progress, but could only roughly estimate his outcome from the transformation of his aura. Although his rank was already very close to that of a true World God, there was still a slight flaw.

"There's just one last bit."

Ye Ge stretched out his hand, exited the core of the world, and came to the outside world, to an island. With a thought, the gray ocean that had been frozen in time suddenly erupted, surging with towering waves. Even from outside the Earth, a small splash could be seen on the surface. The tsunami swallowed the tiny island and then quickly solidified. The water at the center actually turned into molten lava, evaporating the surrounding seawater.

"I have mastered the core material rules; with just a thought, this world will become a land of death. But there is still one thing I cannot do..."

Ye Ge sighed somewhat dejectedly. He waved his hand, summoning a lump of flesh, and then molded it into a human shape like clay. Under the precise control of his divine power, a humanoid figure with the exact same face as Shen Qi appeared before her. Shen Qi covered her mouth in surprise, her eyes sparkling: "Hey! You've become so thirsty? You want to take advantage of my inflatable breasts? Come on, I'll give you Mengzi's measurements, you can make one for me too..."
