“A doll? Another world, a soul, it seems like it could work,” Niels thought slowly, looking at the space and the Thousand Hands with great delight.

A moment later, Thousand Hands captured all the beasts in the passage, and the group arrived at the end of the road. Ahead was a huge cave with a bright light in the middle, which looked extremely dazzling.

"Huh, it's been a while since I've been here. Is it really this bright?" Niels rubbed his eyes in confusion, while Ai Luke next to him also covered her eyes. "It's so bright, I can't even see where my body is."

"Uh," looking at the two Star Gods acting cute beside him, Senju was quite helpless, "This is the effect of the night vision potion, drinking some milk will do the trick."

After everyone drank the milk, the surroundings suddenly darkened, and the light in the middle of the cave dimmed considerably. Everyone flew towards that spot.

Upon arriving here, everyone was astonished to see the huge block of ice in the middle, inside which was a girl who looked exactly like Ai Lu Ke. However, the Ai Lu Ke inside the ice block had a huge sword wound on her chest, and her face wore the same gentle smile as the one outside.

“Found it,” Ai Lu Ke stepped forward and stroked the ice block. The hard ice block floated up with real ripples, and then turned into a large amount of water, soaking the people around. However, everyone’s attention was on the girl’s body that had fallen to the ground.

Ai Lu Ke stepped forward and hugged the body, speaking softly, "It's been a long time. It's time for me to get up."

Chapter 314 Gazing at the Moon, Lamenting the First Beast

As she spoke, the two Ailucos merged into one. When Ailuco stood up again, there were no more wounds on her body. Instead, a powerful force surged forth, causing the people around her to retreat continuously.

"What a willful princess," Nils sighed softly from the side. Then, Ailu Ke returned to her normal little girl appearance, and everyone around her wondered if they were dreaming.

“Thank you for your help,” Elco thanked Niels, “now I can continue playing here.”

“After all, the other world has been found, so it would be a waste to use the remaining two powers,” Niels said, bowing to Ailu. “I would also like to ask you to open that illusion, the cage built by the First Beast who laments the moon.”

“Of course, I also want to rescue Hong,” Ai Luke said, walking to the side where a crystal pillar slowly appeared, drawing everyone’s attention.

Countless faces appeared on the pillar, expressing all sorts of emotions: peace, sadness, joy, and sighs. At the top of the pillar was a bust of a young girl.

“Elmelia!” William swayed, staring blankly at the girl above. Niels beside him slowly spoke, “This is the First Beast of Moonlit Lament, a girl who could not wait for the promise, the first human to become a beast, Elmelia.”

"This is the First Beast?!" Several fairies nearby exclaimed in surprise. It didn't seem to have any of the aggressiveness of a beast at all.

However, just as everyone was thinking this, the surroundings shook, and the scene in front of them had transformed into a courtyard. Thousand Hands looked around and realized that only Ai Lu was missing; everyone else was there, and there were quite a few children playing nearby. When William saw these children, his body trembled. "You... is this an illusion?"

"What a nostalgic sight," Niels said softly, looking around. Senju, standing beside him, asked curiously, "William, where is this?"

"This is the Frina Memorial Orphanage, an orphanage run by the eighteenth generation hero Nils, a place of deep gratitude," William said, calming down after his initial excitement, and shaking his head with a wry smile. "Is this your gift, Air?"

“Haha, I’m not as great as you say,” Niels said, scratching his head modestly, then looking at the children around him. “But don’t worry, you’ll all be reborn soon.”

"Oh, it's Dad and Grandpa! Where have you been?" The children around them ran over and shouted at the two of them. "Hurry up and teach us swordsmanship! You've been away for too long!"

"William?" The door next to her opened, and a young girl walked out. She looked at William and exclaimed softly.

However, Nils smiled slightly as he looked at the girl. "El, we'll see each other again soon. Just wait a little while."

As he spoke, the surrounding scenery distorted, transforming back into underground ruins. The people around were puzzled, but William looked somewhat disappointed as he leaned closer to the pillar to examine the girl on it.

“This is the illusion created by Aier,” Niels explained softly, looking at William’s melancholy expression after the illusion disappeared.

William ignored Nils's advice and staggered toward the pillar, only to be stopped by Eloque. "William, no, you'll die if you get close."

“It’s alright,” William slowly walked around her, looking at the crystal girl above. “Hey, Elmelia, we haven’t talked about the butter cake yet.”

As he approached, Senju saw blood flowing from William's body, and as the distance closed, they heard the mournful cries of his bones.

"No, William!" Ctholly rushed forward and hugged him. She also felt the immense pressure and coughed up blood. William sensed the person behind him and quickly turned around. "Ctholly, don't come any closer! If you get any closer..."

They will die from a magical outburst.

“No, if William is here, I’ll be here too,” Ctholly clung to him tightly, refusing to let go. William looked at the statue and Ctholly, then slowly retreated, where he began to weep softly. “I’m sorry, Elmelia.”

“Father,” the crystal-like girl spoke slowly. She seemed to have noticed that the person she was waiting for had arrived. William looked at her and gave a slow, bitter smile. “You’re such a fool, waiting for me to come back.”

“Alright, that’s enough with the sob story,” Niels said, clapping his hands to ruin the mood. “The next question is how to resurrect her and the three thousand souls trapped inside.”

"Really?" William looked at Nils with surprise, while Nils tilted his head back and said, "Of course! Who do you think I am? I am the handsome, dashing, infinitely wise, and invincible eighteenth-generation hero."

"Yes, yes, Master, you're right. How can we revive Elmelia?" William asked anxiously. Then Nils pointed at Senju, "We just need to get him to cooperate with me a little."

“Senju!” William turned his head and looked at him. Seeing William’s face covered in blood and tears, yet with an expectant smile, Senju was somewhat helpless. “Alright, I’ll cooperate. But you’ll have to work for me from now on.”

After making a sarcastic remark, Senju realized it was actually a good idea; perhaps she could acquire a powerful fighting force. Her expression hardened immediately, "Of course I'll help! It's my duty!"

The two fairies who had been standing by watching were silently wondering if Senju was a drama queen. Landoruko's favorability rating dropped by more than half. Meanwhile, Chtholly was taking out medicine to treat William's injuries.

“Great, I knew you’d say that!” A new drama queen has been born. Niels looked at William on the side and said, “Just like we just saw, because of some idiot, Elmelia has been waiting here. In order to fulfill her wish of reunion, she has trapped three thousand souls in her dream, constantly reliving the scene before the end of the world.”

“So she’s a beast too, then she’ll immediately turn into human form once she’s put into the space,” Senju said with some worry, looking at the crystal pillar. “Won’t the soul trapped inside immediately dissipate?”

“That’s not a problem. I’ll use my last power to ensure my soul doesn’t dissipate, but then I won’t be able to stay in this world. I’ll have to go to your space,” Niels explained his plan.

"Inside, I will regain the six powers. Your task is to capture enough beasts and transform them back into human form. Then, I will use my powers to return their souls to their bodies, thus achieving resurrection, although they will not be able to appear in this world again."

"It sounds simple. If you don't have enough power, there's another world," Senju thought for a moment. He could easily capture beasts by using the Space Meat Buckle to devour them, and leave the rest to Nils, the veteran Star God.

While the two were discussing, Ai Lu Ke cautiously approached the crystal pillar, and a few cracks appeared on it. She suddenly pulled a red phantom out from inside, "Red, are you alright?"

After pulling out the phantom, Ai Lu quickly took a few steps back, and the crystal pillar that was about to shatter slowly recovered.

"Ah, it's Ai Lu Ke. I was so worried about you when you suddenly disappeared. What if something happened to you? Those two idiots, Cui Ding and Hei Zhu, aren't here..." After the red phantom appeared, it twisted and turned in Ai Lu Ke's hand. After thinking for a moment, Ai Lu Ke let go of it.

The red phantom hovered in the air for a while, then seemed to have discovered something important. It suddenly stopped and shouted, "This feeling... you've been resurrected! That's wonderful!"

Chapter 315 You Schemed Against Me

The chaotic noise gave Senju and Niels a headache. The two, who were plotting something, shouted at the same time, "Who's making so much noise? Others are still discussing things."

"Hey, isn't that Nils?" The red phantom drew closer, and Senju realized it was a long, fiery red carp floating in the sky, greeting Nils. "Do you recognize it?"

“Of course, we’ve been friends for thousands of years. This is Lord Red Lake. Oh, and this is the new Star God. What’s his name again?” Niels turned to Thousand Hands and asked. Thousand Hands also noticed that it looked somewhat similar to the painting outside. “Ah, my name is Thousand Hands. Is this Lord Red Lake? Why was the original painting of him a carp? The appearance is so different.”

"Senju, Master, are you alright?" After taking his medicine, William saw the two talking to thin air and asked cautiously. Senju pointed to the fish flying around randomly in the sky, "Can't you see it? It's such a big fish."

"Don't waste your energy. I am now just a manifestation of my thoughts, and not everyone can see me," Lord Red Lake swam up to Thousand Hands. "It's already surprising that you can see me. Hahaha, I didn't expect there would be a Star God who came from the outside world."

“There’s nothing there,” William touched the spot where Thousand Hands was pointing, but only touched air. Thousand Hands stopped talking. After Red Lake Uncle got closer to Thousand Hands, he seemed to have discovered something. “Wait, you’re not a star god from the outside world. Where does your power come from? It feels similar to Ai Lu Ke’s.”

“Yes, that’s the price I paid for my resurrection,” Ailu said from the side. “He also helped me repair the starship.”

"so

"Ah, then forget it. I won't hold it against Ai Luke if she can be fully resurrected. Anyway, once we control the starship, we can continue to go to other universes." Hearing Uncle Honghu say this, Qian Shou breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know if it was sincere or just going along with Ai Luke's wishes, Qian Shou didn't have to worry about the other party haunting him like a ghost.

"Alright, Red, hurry up and go inside to recover. This repair will take a long time," and then Red Lake Uncle disappeared into Eluk's starship.

Seeing that Red Lake Uncle had disappeared, Senju and Nils began their planned operation to revive the people who had been turned into souls and beasts in Senju's space.

"Endless illusions shatter here, and lost souls linger here," as Nils chanted, the crystal pillar transformed into a ball of light, from which came a faint song and roars. Thousand Hands immediately swallowed the light and Nils into his space, and then he found that there were many illusory figures in his space, with Nils seemingly telling them something.

Just as Thousand Hands was observing the space, Chtholly's anxious voice suddenly came from beside him, "William, what's wrong?"

“It’s alright,” William said, catching his breath before standing up. “The singing just now gave me a sense of nostalgia, but I feel much better now.”

“I see,” Senju shook his head. The singing just now was indeed very ethereal, but he didn’t feel anything. He shook his head and said to the others, “Alright, you can all go into the space for now. I’m going to pack up this whole area.”

“Yes, I’m counting on you,” William said earnestly to Senju, then stepped into the nearby spatial entrance. The others followed. Finally, Landoruk looked at Senju and said, “Although I’ve come to a conclusion from your conversation, I still hope that you can unravel the mystery that has been troubling me after this.”

“Of course,” Senju nodded, watching her go inside before closing the entrance. “Anyway, with so many people who know, your mystery will be solved soon.”

Thousand Hands placed William and his group on the top floor of the city, while Soul and Nils were placed next to the city. His next task was to dig up the entire area.

First, they used space to dig three feet into the ground here, and then the entrance gradually moved upwards. Thousand Hands followed below and slowly floated up, swallowing countless unfortunate beasts along the way.

However, when Thousand Hands came outside, he immediately darted upwards. Sometime later, the ground had become a sea of ​​beasts, roaring incessantly. When Thousand Hands came out, the beasts immediately noticed him and stretched out their long tentacles to attack him.

Thousand Hands soared into the sky, but was still hit several times. Although he didn't feel anything, it disgusted him for a long time. The surrounding beasts seemed to have noticed Thousand Hands and all rushed over. Thousand Hands quickly placed the spatial entrance below.

"Die!" Thousand Hands roared from the sky, expanding the spatial entrance to an area dozens of times larger than the ruins below, then pushing it downwards and swallowing all the ruins and monsters on the ground in one gulp.

Senju was initially worried that his human form would be crushed by the mud, but after a flash of light, a perfectly intact town appeared, with countless human figures wandering around. Senju felt that everything inside was real, and then a faint light flashed, and the previously illusory objects all became real.

"What's going on?" Senju stood above the pit, deep in thought. Although similar things had happened before, this time seemed different.

Then Qian Shou looked down at his feet, where there was only a huge pit. Anyone who came again would only think that this place had suffered a natural disaster and that the entire ruins had been destroyed.

After a brief moment of reflection, Senju stopped worrying and instead spoke to Nils across the entrance, saying, "It's all been taken care of. Although I don't know how many people were there, those here are all in the town next door."

"Wow, that's amazing. They even destroyed the First Beast. My prediction was right," Niels said, looking at the town in the distance with a smug expression.

“Of course,” Senju replied, then realized something was off. “The First Beast? Isn’t that Elmeria? What do you mean?”

“Haha, the First Beast is a spiritual entity that parasitizes people’s hearts and can use human bodies as containers at will,” Niels said, giving Thousand Hands a thumbs up. “However, it can’t enter us outsiders. As expected, it was perfectly destroyed. This town is a scene it has been recording for five hundred years, which is why it appears here.”

"Ah, you tricked me!" Senju was furious, realizing she had inadvertently become bait. Niels, however, comforted her, "Calm down. Think about it. I am an eighteenth-generation legitimate hero, and my disciples are Lila and William, who slay the Star God. How could someone as powerful as me lie to you?"

"..." Senju looked at the old rogue speechlessly. This comfort felt more like a threat. Then he looked at Senju with a grin, "This also has its advantages. For example, this, 'I bestow upon you the essence of a star god,' means that you can use your powers six times in the next world. And you don't have to worry about being expelled after using them. How about that? Much better than mine, right?"

"Uh," what could Senju say when she saw the other person holding the carrot and stick? She could only swallow the sweet fruit with tears in her eyes. "Alright, I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going back to the floating island now."

Out of sight, out of mind, Senju built a small spaceship and headed towards Island 68 on the map. Along the way, Senju discovered that his understanding of magic and spells was improving rapidly, which finally resolved his inner conflict.

A dozen minutes later, Thousand Hands returned to the floating island. Counting the time, it had been two or three days since he left. When Thousand Hands landed the spaceship on the ground, he found that the facility not only had Nigolan, but also a menacing pig-headed man in a suit and a bunch of orc guards.

The atmosphere over there seemed off, so Senju quickly called out to the team members hiding in the space, "Come out quickly, someone is causing trouble in the warehouse."

"What?!" The few people hiding in the space rushed out angrily, but when they saw the suddenly appearing figures, Nigolan's expression changed drastically, while the pig-headed tribe laughed loudly, "Haha, it seems you guys aren't very law-abiding either."

Chapter 316 The Pig's Head Who Scouts Talent

“Lan, Noft, why are you all here all of a sudden?” Nigolan called out anxiously, while the pig-headed man next to him shouted smugly, “I know that the fairy soldiers in the fairy warehouse all have missions, so we can have a good talk now.”

"What's wrong? Who are they?" William asked from the side. He hadn't been in a good mood these past few days, with all sorts of chaotic emotions weighing on his mind. He just wanted to find a place to vent.

“Phew, let’s talk outside,” Nigolan said, looking at the group of people standing around her. She suddenly calmed down and looked at Pighead. “We’ll walk to the city. You guys don’t mind, do you?”

“Looks like you’ve finally changed your mind,” Pighead said happily, shrugging as he stepped aside. “As long as you have a recommended shop, since we don’t have many options in this rural area.”

"Lan, Noft, you two stay here and take care of the children. Tiathe, you stay too. I'll be right back," Nigolan and the pig-headed girl headed towards the city with a few followers. The two remaining fairies were a little curious, but seeing the children peeking out of the house, they had no choice but to stay.

The group remained silent the entire way, eventually arriving at the shop that Senju was familiar with. However, there were no customers inside, and the group sat around a table, looking tense and ready to fight.

The owner seemed to recognize the scene; after bringing over the drinks, he immediately hid behind the counter.

"Let me get to the point, Miss Nigolan. We've come here to discover your talent," Pighead said with a friendly smile. "As long as you join our chamber of commerce, everything is negotiable."

"Huh?!" Chtholly exclaimed in surprise from the side, which made Pighead very proud. "According to our investigation, Miss Nigolan is a top-notch talent in terms of her academic performance and the number of subjects she has taken. The Orlando Chamber of Commerce is wasting such a talent on this border. They really don't cherish talent."

"Thank you for your appreciation," Nigolan said calmly. Perhaps her original life was not like this. In order to prepare for the future, she obtained several qualifications related to success while she was in the academy, then went to work for a large business guild, and then her position rose higher and higher. After making money, she met a good partner. This was the path she originally planned.

However, her brilliant life came to an abrupt end when she got caught up in a power struggle within the Chamber of Commerce and was eventually transferred here to a sinecure. She had been quite irritable at the time because of the changes in her life, and had even left a shadow on the children, but now she felt she couldn't leave this place.

“We’re different. Naturally, we’ll treat you with the respect you’re entitled to,” Pighead said with a grin, looking at Nigolan. “And we can also help you with some minor problems, like preventing a certain child from going to the battlefield too soon.”

"Thank you," Nigolan restrained her hand from striking, and stopped the people around her who were about to speak, "But why did you come to me?"

"As clever as you are, you should have foreseen that with the discovery of the other world, the situation of fairies fighting against beasts will soon come to an end, and the Winged Army will also give up its monopoly on fairies. Soon, other organizations will take over these powerful weapons, and our Elbis Commercial Kingdom will certainly be one of them. After that, the merchant guilds that can train excellent fairies will become the pioneers of the times."
