"Achoo! Achoo!"
Theresa, with an unnatural blush on Her cheeks, sneezed while pinching Her nose, forcing Herself to drink the herbal medicine in front of Her. What? You say injections? Theresa would rather die of illness than get an injection. And She actually likes this bitter taste, but the smell of these herbs is too strong. She prefers bitter melon juice.
"Achoo~! How did I fall asleep in the deep forest? It seems I've been too tired from work recently."
Theresa was hypnotized by Zeus to forget Zeus's existence, so She thought She had just gotten tired and fallen asleep after defeating a group of Honkai Beasts. This is also why, upon seeing the ground covered with the impaled Honkai Beast corpses, Theresa could make such a mental leap. Otherwise, Zeus's hypnosis would have a huge flaw.
"Cecilia must not know about this, otherwise, She will definitely worry."
Thinking of that saintly pure face showing an expression of worry, Theresa felt as if Her heart was truly being squeezed tightly.
"No, when I get back, I must break Ziegfried's legs. The more I think about it, the angrier I get. How could I entrust Cecilia to such a playboy?"
"Theresa! Theresa, you're so silly~! How could you give your best friend to someone else?"
If Zeus were here now and saw Theresa's little expression, Zeus would surely sigh and exclaim, "Child, you're in love, and a big hat is about to land on your head, hmm! A green one."
"Grandpa too, why did he choose that guy?"
While sticking a fever patch on Her forehead, Theresa mumbled and slowly drifted off to sleep.
While Theresa was struggling with Her cold, the culprit who caused Her cold did not immediately go to America. Zeus was now looking at the coast with some emotion.
"Time flies so fast. You have all been buried in time for so many years."
Zeus's gaze looked at the sea, and through Her enhanced vision, She could directly see the seabed. That was Jiuyou, Xuanyuan's destination. The fate from back then has now run its course. Zeus helped Xuanyuan fulfill the agreement and did not shortchange Her.
"It's also fortunate that I'm no longer human, otherwise, I probably wouldn't have lasted long enough to lament your fates."
After only a few glances, Zeus continued Her journey.
While Zeus was traveling, in another world, Adam was a little depressed. Although she had successfully transformed this planet, bringing life to it, she still couldn't figure out what materials to use to create the most important species: humans.
"Golden apples? Dragon bones?"
"Golden Fleece? Or Saint Quartz?"
If the humans created couldn't adapt to the environment, they would still go extinct, meaning the material couldn't be too poor. However, if the material was too good, then the humans created would be too strong, and other species wouldn't be able to live under human rule, possibly leading to the extinction of other races. This greatly troubled Adam.
"Back then, what did Mother Goddess use to create humans?"
As she was diligently searching for a method to create humans, a spatial gate suddenly appeared before her. This made Adam's heart tighten, as she had already read the information of the other party's divine power. But at this critical moment, why did her unprincipled 'Father God' suddenly come over? Didn't she like to throw me far away, ignoring me, letting me stay for decades, or even thousands of years? Why did she come so quickly this time?
"I hope she doesn't discover my opportunity."
Praying inwardly like this, Adam, though a little flustered inside, maintained a cold expression on the surface. This was her expression towards Alaya. No! It should be said that she now had this expression towards everyone, but if Zeus were in front of her, she probably wouldn't be like this. A 'mother-loving' child is very difficult to deal with.
"I finally found you, little one, Adam."
A woman dressed in a white, elegant divine robe slowly walked up to Adam, with an expression of 'I searched so hard for you.' But only Adam knew that this person probably only 'casually' checked if she was there while playing around. Having been with Alaya for thousands of years, Adam naturally knew this person's true nature. Perhaps only Mother Goddess could make this person truly search diligently.
"Hmph! Don't think I don't know you had a great time playing along the way. Don't lie to me."
Adam gave Alaya no face at all, directly 'confronting' her. She was very confident that this person would not get angry at all.
"You child are truly not cute. I wonder where Zeus is? Otherwise, I'd put you in Her belly and have Her give birth to a new one."
Alaya had an 'unfilial child' expression. Who knows who was so irresponsible as to throw their child into another world, leaving them for over ten years, and still have the nerve to say such things?
Hearing Alaya's 'shameless' words made Adam's face turn red with anger, but she also knew that getting angry with this person was purely asking for trouble. Taking a few deep breaths, she temporarily suppressed her anger and began to ask, "Why did you suddenly come looking for me?"
"I'm doing very well now. You, a big shot, don't need to worry about me anymore."
Adam said in an annoyed tone. She didn't want to meet this person at all. If it were Mother Goddess, she would keep Mother Goddess by her side and never get tired of looking at Her every day. But this person, if she stayed in front of her for even a second, she would feel uncomfortable. If she could, she really wanted to humanely destroy Alaya, but she didn't have the strength, so she could only temporarily give up this wonderful idea.
"I just came to see how you, this uncute little one, are doing. I just had a fight with a 'madman,' and it really made my back and waist ache. A certain someone is even making me angry and won't even give Father God a shoulder rub or back massage, or anything?"
As she spoke, Alaya's eyes kept darting towards Adam. Adam had a cold expression and didn't even bother to respond.
"Tsk~! You child, come with me! This place is so barren, let me take you to other worlds to play!"
Alaya 'looked' at this world with her divine sense. To be honest, she really didn't think much of this 'barren' world. In such a place, humans truly couldn't survive, and it would require a great deal of effort to create an atmosphere. Moreover, the toxic substances in the air would be fatal to ordinary humans. Instead of expending huge efforts in such a world, it would be better to find a good world to cultivate believers, or even seize someone else's world.
"I want to stay here for a while and rest."
Adam didn't want to leave at all! Although there were still many flaws, she still wanted to work hard herself. Instead of competing for other people's believers, it was better to create her own believers. Those created by herself would only believe in her, and thus the power of faith would be purer.
"Alright! I won't interfere too much with your affairs, but you must bear the consequences of the choices you make."
Alaya looked at Adam seriously. Adam didn't reply, just nodded to indicate that she understood. In fact, Alaya hadn't intended to keep the 'burden' by her side. She just wanted to confirm her location. After all, she was her child. If she really took Adam with her, she would probably abandon Adam in another world for a few hundred years again, and then go look for her.
So, Alaya, having received Adam's answer, happily walked towards the spatial gate. Looking at Alaya's back, Adam hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but open her mouth: "Wait a moment."
"Leave the 'beep beep' 'beep beep' before you go."
