Zoe opened her eyes with light in them, and slowly withdrew her strength.

Li Ang was about to put her back on the ground, but he noticed that the girl's feet were about to step on the cold floor, so he hugged her temporarily.

However, Zoe moved her body and jumped to the ground. Before her pink feet touched the ground, a layer of soil and rock suddenly solidified, preventing her from stepping directly on the frosted tiles.

"When did you learn this skill?"

“Gift, gift!”

The girl's focus at the moment was not on Leon's problem at all.

"Wait until we get inside."

Leon pushed away the curious kitten that was reaching into his bag and looked for Eden's location.

As if responding to him, the animal-eared woman danced a whirling dance, releasing a burst of frost and snow, and disappeared in it.

The crowd exclaimed and laughed, thinking it was some kind of sleight of hand or magic, which made the celebration even more lively.

In front of Leon and the other two, tiny specks of blue light emerged and gathered from the sky. Just as Dorothy was about to ask a question, Eden appeared in the blue light.

Eden saluted Leon and said, "Meet the companion of the Son of God."

"Dear guests, please follow me." She raised her hand and led the three people to the side of the church.

Leon followed suit, and Zoe jumped beside him. When they stepped on the ground, a shield of earth and rock material was instantly generated on the ground.

"What partner?" Dorothy asked quietly.

"A name."

"You're so cunning." The half-elf followed closely, hands behind his back. "I guessed it, I guessed it. How could he be an ordinary member? But I'm embarrassed to say anything about others..."

Eden led the three people into the church through the side door. Leon thought she would soon take them into the reception room, but unexpectedly she kept walking into the church.

The further you go, the higher the church dome becomes, and finally it sinks into darkness that is beyond the reach of the lights on both sides of the aisles, and only vague dark blue shadows can be seen.

At the end of the corridor, Eden waved his hand and a huge door was driven by magic to slowly open, and a huge space appeared in front of him.

79. Star Palace

"What is this place?" Dorothy asked in amazement.

Before entering, the two had already seen the tiny dots of light flowing throughout the space. They were like fireflies, but they could dance in the air at a faster speed. Their trajectories seemed to follow some kind of law, which was very mysterious.

Leon estimated the distance he had just walked and found that this empty space was already inside the peak of Frost Sky Island.

Walking further, you can see that the floor and the distant walls in the space are all made of translucent colored glass. No, it should not be said to be made, because the colored glass is seamlessly integrated and there is no visible seam at all.

It's not even right to call it glass, because no glass can be so transparent and clear and still flow with magic. There are also light spots rhythmically inside it, and its surface is not smooth, as if it was formed naturally.

"What the two distinguished guests saw was a substance called 'star crystal'."

Noticing the gazes of Leon and the other two, Eden explained from the front.

The woman with animal ears glanced at Dorothy, then at Leon: "Who is this guest?"

"Like Zoe, she's a member of my group."

"same as me?"

Zoe looked Dorothy up and down with a questioning look in her eyes. She frowned slightly at her curves, which were not as plump as Eden's but still quite charming.

“Everywhere is different.”

Dorothy laughed dryly. "Yes, yes, little sister."

"Leon," Zoe stared straight into Leon's eyes. "I thought I was the only member of the group."

"It's impossible for a team to consist of only two people." Li Ang recalled that this guy should have this level of common sense.

"Oh yes, I didn't have time to introduce you just now."

Li Ang rubbed his temples. Zoe was really good at kicking people out of their normal thoughts. Once she messed people up, they would forget everything.

He came between the two of them and introduced them to each other.

"This is Zoe, a child I met on my hometown island of Satus. She's a bit naughty, but a kind and good child. She's good with a sword and has special potential."

"This is Dorothy, a companion who has been adventuring with me before. We met by chance this time in the Ignis airspace. She also has special potential, so we will go on adventures together in the future."

Li Ang briefly talked about the specific strengths of each of them, and told them to slowly understand them in the future, as it couldn't be explained in just a few words.

"Hello." Dorothy's polite smile was impeccable.

Zoe didn't respond. She pulled Leon's sleeve, pointed at Dorothy, and asked, "How long ago was it?"

"About eight years ago."

"Oh." Zoe counted on her fingers and finally smiled suddenly, "That's because I knew you earlier."

"What's there to argue about?"

Li Ang didn't know how many times he had sighed from the beginning to now. When he looked up, he saw Dorothy next to him with a strange look in her eyes.

"What do you mean earlier?" The half-elf girl's rainbow eyes were fixed on Leon's face.

Zoe: "Although I didn't know Leon at that time, I slept in Leon's bed and bedding every day."

"You have a story." Dorothy squinted at her.

"Stop, stop, stop."

Leon stepped between the two and said to Eden, "Anyway, if you want to talk about important things, there's no need to avoid her. She's trustworthy..."

"Hey, what do you mean by getting quieter and quieter?" the half-elf girl called out. "I can get hurt too, you know? I've entrusted my life to you."

Zoe blinked her big red eyes.

"Then please continue to follow me."

Eden led the way, wagging his large ice-blue tail. Dorothy followed angrily, muttering something under her breath.

Li Ang whispered to her, "It's not that I don't trust you. I'm just thinking about how to explain this series of events to you. As a teammate, you need to understand, but this may also be beyond your common sense."

"I just don't understand anything anyway."

"That's something I didn't even know."

"Okay, I'll try my best not to lose my composure. But, they don't know about the Demon Flower, right? I heard from mom that it's an ancient secret."

Zoe looked at the two people talking quietly, her nose sniffing something unconsciously.

"What are you doing?" Leon asked.

"Why do you smell like her?"

"We were on the same ship."

"Oh."

The girl nodded, a hint of doubt on her delicate face, and she pinched her chin, thinking about something.

Led by Eden, the three came to the center of the vast space.

"Sir Leon," Eden turned around and said, "This is my Star Palace."

"This is the place you mentioned before, the place you deliberately wanted to bring Zoe to."

Eden nodded, his big ears moving slowly.

"Thanks to the arrival of the Son of God, my strength has been restored, and the light here is even brighter."

Leon glanced at Eden's panel.

Previously, there were words of exhaustion on her energy source and skills, but now they have disappeared, resulting in the combat power increase rising to 38%.

As the wolf girl's voice fell, the corners of Leon's clothes fluttered, and golden light flowed to the side, condensing into Anastasia, the earth snake.

"Xiao An!"

Zoe hugged the giant snake excitedly. The giant snake's starry eyes flashed, as if conveying some message to the girl.

"You've been through so much..."

Zoe seemed to have completely absorbed the information in an instant, and looked at Leon with some worry.

"We'll talk about that later."

The girl nodded obediently.

Eden said: "My people are all transformed from parts of nature, but we are not born from natural or supernatural laws."

"Was it born under the guidance of that ancient nation called the Divine People?" Leon thought of the device in the ruins in the center of Satus Island.

Eden nodded, but seemed reluctant to speak in the direction of the gods and people. He simply said, "Because we were not born according to the laws of the world, although our race is designed to exist forever, our core power, the Light of the Star Soul, will gradually be consumed with the passage of time and cannot be replenished on its own.

"Most of the time, our race chooses to hibernate to pass the long years. During this time, the faint light of the star souls dissipates. Through their illumination, the surrounding matter is transformed into 'star crystals'."

Li Ang looked up at the vast space around him and said, "So, you once slept here."

"Yes."

Eden raised her hand, and the light spots in the entire space began to move, circling in the air under the guidance of her power.

"And within these vast quantities of star crystals, the light of star souls will be generated, nourishing us once again. This is how our race has maintained its existence throughout the ages. We call the space where we continue our existence the Star Palace."

Li Ang squatted down, touched the star crystal ground, and sensed the spirit in it.

As she said, the spirit within the star crystal attracted the magic power and slowly transformed it into an energy Leon had never felt before. They were hot and steady, and they must be the light of the star soul that provided power to the star soul.

The spirits of star crystals are different from the spirits in nature. Ordinary spirits are intermittent when they instinctively use magic to interfere with the material world, just like the cycle of work and rest for people, but these spirits in star crystals produce star soul light at exactly the same speed.

Eden continued, "However, the star crystals originally came from our own people, and their replenishment can only delay their depletion. Fortunately, the Son of God has come to this world.

“In this Star Palace, the light of the Star Soul is not as blazing as that in my people’s bodies, and is more suitable for helping the current Son of God grow.

"The mission has been fulfilled. In just three days, the Son of God has already gained strength."

Oh?

Leon hadn't even looked at Zoe's panel before, he opened it immediately.

He discovered that the girl's spellcasting profession had been confirmed to be an elementalist, and she had contracted two elves, one was the Earth Serpent and the other was the Frost Wolf.

Star Soul is really going too far. Can it even take the position of an elemental elf?

What's even more outrageous is that both of her career levels have reached level 3.

Although the three levels of the mortal realm are relatively easy to improve, and basically one can learn them naturally as one becomes familiar with magic power without encountering any talent barriers, Leon still underestimated the growth rate of the Star Soul Greenhouse. Isn't this cheating?

However, if you haven't broken through the realm, it means that even with cheats, you still have to consider following up with your personal efforts.

"My clan still has other people who can help the Son of God."

As Eden spoke, he stepped back a distance, revealing his giant wolf form in the icy mist.

Testimonials

Hello dear readers, I have received a notice that the book will be on the shelves tomorrow at noon, which is 6:7 on Friday, June 12.

I would like to thank all the readers who have supported me, my editor Canaan for his guidance and encouragement, my family for their support, Metal Raindrop and Xixi for recommending my chapters, and the book friends in the book club for discussing this. In no particular order, I would like to thank you all.

I would like to ask everyone to support me by giving a first order, so that the author knows how many friends are looking forward to the story of this book, and it will cheer me up and make me write faster. Thank you very much.

Since I found out about it so suddenly, I don’t have many drafts left, but I will try my best to update as soon as possible, and the subsequent updates will be as many as possible.

I can guarantee this. Because I had to press the update button during the new book period, but in order to ensure the completeness of the content, sometimes I still wrote 8000 words a day - of course, this was also based on maintaining the quality as much as possible.

In the following part, let me talk to you about my feelings about writing this book.

The author is certainly not some outlandish demon or old master; she's a newcomer to Qidian. Her previous book had an average subscription of 20. After summarizing her experiences and preparing to start again, she encountered a series of unforeseen circumstances. I abandoned some ideas that I had loved and carefully crafted, but I figured they were only suitable for a master writer. After much trouble, I finally released the book at the end of April this year.

The writing style of this book is even worse than the previous one. One reason is that the author is in a bad mental state due to various real-life events, and the other is that he had a general anesthesia surgery before opening the book, which slowed down the mobilization of many thoughts.

Of course, this does not mean that this book is written casually. This book is the Japanese fantasy that I am familiar with, and I am also working hard to shape each character well.

The time for distributing the books just missed the first month's subsistence allowance, but I couldn't delay it any longer, otherwise I might not be able to make ends meet.

The withdrawal serves as an introduction, but the main plot is actually the part after the "then" in the title. The story tells the story of the protagonist, who wants to form a stable and efficient team, but the other members are all troubled girls. In the battle of wits and courage with them, he travels to the other side of the sky and the end of the world.

Before publishing the book, I didn't realize that light novels like "The Island in the East" had already left a bad impression on readers. This was my negligence.

The reason why the author uses withdrawal from the group as an introduction is because of his personal experience and is familiar with it. He feels that this can more accurately describe how the event arouses the protagonist's fighting spirit.

Back when I was playing WoW, I actually encountered a group leader who would only share equipment if you "borrowed money" privately. Since that group had made some progress in the epic difficulty raid, in the game environment at the time, this was a precious resource he could provide, and this became his capital for fearlessness.

I wasn't in that group, but I was close enough to witness it firsthand. In the end, the group leader was reported to the police by a member who couldn't stand it any longer, and Brother Jing chased him down, so he ran away. I don't know if he was ever caught.
