Dream Jia didn't know if it was because she had listened to Liang Jie's songs too much and gained too much courage from her, but at such an important moment, she dared to bargain with Guardian Uryll. As soon as Dream Jia spoke, she couldn't help but regret inwardly, "Damn it! How did I catch the bad habit of speaking without thinking because of Hao Yun? After he becomes Uryll's servant, I'll see how I can discipline him!"
("Hehe! As they say, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. I bet this girl is definitely trying to resonate with Hao Yun's frequency and be assimilated by him!" the author quipped, unable to resist teasing the plot. Seeing the assertive Dream Jia in such an awkward situation, the author immediately wore a gloating expression, writing it clearly on his face.
"Shut up, you! Hiding in the shadows and blabbering nonsense! If you dare talk nonsense again, watch how I'll shut you up!" Dream Jia fiercely glared at the author outside the frame.
The author heard Dream Jia catch onto the emotions he expressed and hurriedly covered his mouth, not daring to continue speaking. Because he knew that if he further angered Dream Jia, who knew if she might actually jump out of the book and beat him up?)
After listening to Hao Yun and his friends' request, Uryll disdainfully shook his body and replied, "There's no need for you to serve as my ox or horse! My little temple cannot accommodate so many people! Moreover, if a large group of people were to surround me every day, how annoying would that be!"
Although Uryll sternly refused their offer to serve him, he did not reject their request to save the Earth's world. So when Hao Yun heard a glimmer of hope, he quickly pleaded again, "Guardian Uryll, could you then save my Earth world? If possible, please also save the Earth NX here!"
"I've said before, although I am the Guardian of the Dark Link Plane, according to its rules, I cannot personally intervene in any matters in the mortal realm, let alone interfere in matters within the realm of the Divine Spirits!" Uryll replied.
It was clear that Uryll showed great indifference to everything happening in the Earth world. However, Hao Yun could understand. After all, from Uryll's perspective, the Earth world was too insignificant to warrant the attention of such a transcendent being. Moreover, Uryll was already very dissatisfied with the thefts occurring within the realm of Divine Spirits in the Dark Link Plane. This naturally meant that Uryll not only didn't care whether Hao Yun's world lived or died, but he also wished that more riots like this would occur in the realm of Divine Spirits.
Seeing Hao Yun, who looked disappointed, Uryll continued, "But, well, I cannot directly interfere in the affairs of others, according to the rules of the Dark Link Plane. However, the Dark Link Plane also does not stipulate that I cannot answer questions for those in difficulties. So, well—"
After some thought, Uryll pointed his index finger at Hao Yun and continued, "Therefore, I can only say that the decision to save the Earth world is not up to me, but depends on your own choices!"
Uryll's answer this time clearly indicated that both Earth worlds still had a chance of survival. However, his response did not provide any specific solutions to the problem, nor did it give any hints. Therefore, Hao Yun felt both hopeful about the Earth world's chances of survival and still confused about how to help the Earth world escape destruction.
"Why does Guardian Uryll say that the decision lies with us? Could you further indicate a path for us?" Dao Lao also asked with a puzzled expression.
Uryll shook his head, refusing to answer Dao Lao's question. Then, he continued to say to Hao Yun and the others, "Honestly, I have a good impression of you guys. No, I should say I have a good impression of her. Because her little arrogant temper reminds me of my daughter."
After saying this, Uryll nodded approvingly towards Dream Jia.
Hearing Uryll say this, even Heinrich couldn't help but show a surprised expression. Because he had lived with Uryll for so long and waited for many things from Uryll, but he also didn't know that Uryll actually had a daughter. This made Heinrich ignite a raging fire of gossip in his heart, wanting to figure out where Uryll got this daughter from. What's more, what interested Heinrich more was that according to Uryll's words, he seemed to have more than one daughter!
Uryll waved his hand broadly and said, "Oh! I don't know how I got daughters. Anyway, since I appeared, my daughters have been following me!"
"But how come I've never seen them? You've never mentioned them to me either," Heinrich wondered.
"Hey! Don't mention it! When the girls grow up, they get as stubborn as can be! So, they all flew away a long time ago and went to mess around on their own in the outside world!" Uryll gestured with his large hand, feeling sentimental.
Uryll seemed not to want to elaborate further on his daughters, so he changed his tone and continued to say to Hao Yun and his group, "But none of this is the point. In short, because Dream Jia reminded me of my daughter, it has made me have a very good impression of her. Plus, she's your woman, which makes me have a very good impression of you, kid."
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"Ah, spit! Don't talk nonsense! Who the hell is his woman?! I'm innocent with him! I'm just colleagues! And it's that kind of pure colleague relationship where we'll completely part ways once the mission is done, never to see each other again!" Dream Jia immediately blushed and retorted.
Hao Yun understood Dream Jia's temper quite well, so when he saw Dream Jia vehemently denying any relationship with him, he could only smile awkwardly on the side, not daring to argue further to avoid further provoking Dream Jia and getting beaten up. Dao Lao, as always, with an attitude of enjoying the show, watched with interest the emotional tug-of-war between Dream Jia and Hao Yun, and occasionally gave detailed explanations to Heinrich, who didn't understand the situation.
Uryll seemed to enjoy Dream Jia's temper tantrums, allowing her to protest in frustration while he continued speaking to Haoyun. "Anyway, I have a favorable impression of you guys, and you've always been willing to chat with me. Hmm, your willingness to chat with me is also very important! So, it's for these reasons that I'm willing to tell you that there's still a chance to save that Earth world. And if you can save that Earth world, you can also indirectly save Earth NX."
Uryll's words were akin to commuting the death sentences of Haoyun's Earth world and Earth NX to life imprisonment. Seeing a glimmer of hope, Haoyun hurriedly asked, "So, Guardian Sir, can you tell us how exactly we can prevent the destruction of the Earth world?"
Shaking his head, Uryll replied regretfully, "Unfortunately, I can't go into too much detail. How to save the Earth world depends on your choices. As for what those choices are, I naturally can't say too much. After all, the last time I spoke a little too generously out of goodwill, it resulted in a series of chain reactions that could have had adverse effects on the Dark Link planes. So this time, I really can only point you in the right direction and let you find the rest of the answers yourselves!"
"Last time? So we weren't the first batch of guests you've assisted?" Dream Jia keenly caught onto this particular way of describing things from Uryll's words. So she immediately stopped cursing and protesting at Uryll, instead following up on this piece of information.
Uryll wiggled the five fingers on his body and corrected in a somewhat indignant tone, "It's 'guidance,' not 'assistance.' According to the rules of the Dark Link planes, I absolutely cannot actively interfere with anything. Even though I'm the Guardian of the Dark Link planes, with supreme authority over thousands."
From Uryll's emphasis on the restrictions imposed on him by the Dark Link planes, it was clear he was very dissatisfied with this prohibition. After a slight complaint, Uryll continued with resignation, "Everything in the Dark Link planes is under my control. To avoid causing a butterfly effect in the Dark Link planes, I absolutely cannot actively engage with any worlds within the Dark Link planes. For someone like me who enjoys communicating with others, you can't imagine how unbearable this is! So, if I want to chat with someone, I can only hope that visitors from outside the Dark Link planes might appear."
He added with extreme disdain, "Of course, for visitors like those thieves from the Multispirit Realm, if possible, I'd rather take them out than talk to them! Apart from that bunch of pests, visitors from other worlds have also appeared in the Dark Link planes. However, these visitors only enter the Dark Link planes to utilize the energy tunnels hidden here to cross into other worlds. And since using these hidden tunnels within the Dark Link planes itself is dangerous, travelers must concentrate fully to ensure they reach their destination safely. Therefore, these visitors certainly wouldn't have any extra energy to chat with me."
"So, based on the principle of not interfering with others or affecting them, in the vast majority of cases, I just silently watch as foreign visitors hurriedly come and go. Or quietly appreciate the wonderful process as they exhaust their strength and are thrown out of the energy tunnels to become a feast in the sea of nurturing."
Uryll recalled with malicious glee how these lives were devoured by the Sea of Nurturing, then continued, "Whether they leave alive or are devoured by the Sea of Nurturing, the number of foreign visitors is very large. Among them, I have only encountered two precious opportunities to communicate with visitors. One was you guys, and the other was those Moulded Spiritual Energies."
It was unexpected that in Uryll's few words, there was such a vast amount of information. So much so that Haoyun and the others couldn't help but widen their eyes in amazement and exclaim, "Those Moulded Spiritual Energies? Are you saying that besides Elina, there were more Moulded Spiritual Energies that entered the Dark Link planes?"
Exaggeratingly waving his fingers, Uryll said, "That's right! Many Moulded Spiritual Energies have entered the Dark Link planes. Many, a very large number. However, that all happened a long, long time ago. The strange fellows calling themselves Moulded Spiritual Energies entered the Dark Link planes to use the hidden energy tunnels here to enter other worlds. Their aggressive demeanor was evident, showing they were going far to fight with others."
"Unlike other visitors entering the Dark Link planes, I sensed a strong power different from other civilizations from those Moulded Spiritual Energies. This allowed them to navigate the energy tunnels more easily. Because of this greater strength compared to other civilizations, I became intensely interested in them. So, I tried to strike up a conversation with them, wanting to ask where they came from. However, they warned me that they were the divine army from the Darkest Void, coming to conquer, and dared not to hinder the march of the Moulded Spiritual Energies, and they would be executed on the spot."
"However, am I so easily intimidated? So, I took advantage of the fact that even if their strength was not weak, they dared not really fight me in the midst of traveling through the energy tunnel, and stubbornly followed them, trying to get more responses from them. Ah! Thinking back, I was really pitiful at that time. But what could I do? You know, I hadn't talked to anyone in a long time, and I was really being driven crazy by loneliness!" Uryll said, embarrassed, scratching his forehead with his middle finger.
"Perhaps they saw my behavior of always clinging there in the hope of communication as pitiful, or perhaps they found me annoying for always hanging around them, they eventually managed to get a response from the two guys at the end of the team. They briefly introduced where they came from and where they were going to make a big fuss in the heavenly palace. Then, the two of them exchanged a few words with me, before hastily catching up with the pace of the large army and leaving here. Although I only had a short chat with them, do you know? That was the first time in my life, besides my daughters, that I had ever talked to anyone else! The feeling of communicating with outsiders was really wonderful!" Uryll exclaimed, full of emotion.
