Thinking of this, Xu Yuan looked at Notch and smiled. "If you really wanted to help me, would you still go through all this trouble asking so many questions?"
Hearing this, Notch was just about to explain, but Xu Yuan cut him off with a smile. "Alright, there's nothing to worry about in the inner world. On the contrary, the outer world is about to go through a major change."
"You should take care of the outer world first. Once things stabilize there, it won't be too late for you to come over and do some hard labor to make up for it."
Xu Yuan's words were like giving Notch a reassurance. As long as Xu Yuan was in the inner world, Notch could completely set his mind at ease.
Notch nodded with relief. There had been a hint of confusion in his eyes before, but in an instant it turned firm, as if he had found some kind of belief.
He looked at Xu Yuan seriously and said slowly, "Compared to when I first met you, I've grown a lot."
"I've reclaimed the power that once belonged to me. I'm becoming more and more fitting of the title of Creator God. But when it comes to how to actually be a good Creator God, I'm still very lost."
At this point, Notch's voice sank a little, revealing a trace of helplessness.
However, when he raised his eyes to look at Xu Yuan again, they were filled with sincere gratitude.
"Thanks to you, Xu Yuan."
"You're the one who guided me out of confusion, and you'll also become the direction I strive toward."
He took a deep breath and continued, "You're what a perfect Creator God looks like in my mind. So what I need to do next is simply catch up to you."
After saying this, Notch let out a long breath, as if a weight had been lifted. The serious look on his face suddenly turned into a sly smile. He looked at Xu Yuan again, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly as he raised an eyebrow.
"For now, just take it easy and slack off properly. Once I catch up to you, it'll be my turn to lecture you!"
Although Notch's words sounded like a joke, they were actually from the bottom of his heart.
He knew very clearly that while he, this so-called Creator God, had been slacking off, it was always Xu Yuan who had been quietly covering for him.
The reason Notch said this was because he genuinely wanted to thank Xu Yuan.
He understood that words alone might seem pale and powerless, so he had to act.
For Notch, becoming someone who could cover for Xu Yuan was the only way he could think of to repay him right now.
Because only then could Xu Yuan truly put down the burden on his shoulders and stop working so hard.
Although Notch also knew that reaching a level where he could cover for Xu Yuan was harder than reaching the heavens, he didn't back down because of it.
On the contrary, he would keep striving toward that goal.
Even if he ultimately couldn't reach that height, Notch still hoped he could at least become someone who could share some of Xu Yuan's burden.
At the very least, no matter what happened, Xu Yuan could confidently entrust his back to Notch, instead of facing everything alone.
Hearing this, Xu Yuan shook his head helplessly and smiled. "Looks like just lecturing you once will get me remembered for a lifetime."
"Fine, I'll slack off properly and wait for the great Creator God to lecture me."

After chatting for a while, Notch suddenly gestured toward the empty space in front of him.
As his fingers moved rhythmically, the space in front of him began to twist. Before long, a portal formed at the center of the distortion.
Not long after the portal appeared, familiar faces began stepping out of it one by one, all looking confused.
The Villager King, Bread Sheep, Pufferfish Jio, Eddie, Pocolo…
Seeing everyone appear here in a daze, Black Knife and Mustard respectively led the creatures and players aside, beginning to update them on the current situation.
Seeing that everyone had already started doing their own tasks, Notch finally felt completely at ease.
Just as Pengpeng had said before, Xu Yuan didn't keep idle people around.
Xu Yuan didn't need to worry about anything at all. These people under him didn't even need coordination; they would each do their part on their own.
Thinking of this, Notch pointed at the portal in front of him, then looked at Xu Yuan and joked, "Looks like this porter is going to take a few days off. But don't worry, even if I'm not here, your followers will still come through this portal."
"As for receiving them, I won't be handling that."
After saying that, Notch turned to glance at Rookie, then continued, "Now that things here are settled, I can finally relax. Rookie and I need to go back and deal with company matters."
"If we're any later, Old Wu probably won't be able to hold on."
As soon as Notch finished speaking, Rookie slapped his forehead. "Oh crap! If you didn't say that, I would've forgotten about Master!! Let's go, let's go!"
———
At this moment, Notch's office was eerily quiet. Only the dull knocking on the door echoed like heavy blows, pounding again and again, "bang bang bang," "bang bang bang."
"Old Wu! Open the door!!! I know you're in there!" The person outside had clearly lost patience, their voice filled with anger and urgency.
"I'm warning you, open the door within three seconds! The cameras caught everything. If you don't come out right now, I'm calling the police!!" The threatening words stabbed straight into Old Wu's heart like a blade.
"Old Wu, you've really got guts now, huh? Since when did you switch careers to a physical hacker?! Do you even know how much this server costs?!"
"Coming to you now is giving you a chance! Open the damn door right now!" The person outside grew more agitated, their voice rising louder and louder.
Old Wu stood behind the door, his face pale as paper, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.
Hearing the continuous shouting and curses outside, Old Wu felt like crying but had no tears. He used all his strength to brace himself against Notch's office door, his eyes fixed on Notch and Rookie's game pods.
"Damn it!! Why aren't you coming out yet!!"
At that moment, the knocking outside suddenly stopped. Just as Old Wu was about to catch his breath, a loud "boom" rang out.
Leaning against the door, Old Wu felt a powerful force slam into him. His whole body shook, and he nearly lost his footing, almost being thrown away.
Before he could recover, he saw two burly figures in black rush in from the doorway.
In the blink of an eye, Old Wu was grabbed by the two security guards like a criminal.
Just as they were about to drag him out, Rookie's voice rang out through the entire office like heavenly music.
"Stop!!"
"Let go of Old Wu!!!"
