Chapter 1174: Thinking

The night was getting darker. In the Dark Moon courtyard, everyone sensed that the chaotic elemental power was gradually subsiding. However, everyone did not let go of their tense hearts. Their eyes were fixed on one position – The place where the [Star Gate] was usually opened.

Finally, the familiar light door appeared in the vision. A figure walked out, and everyone stood up one after another.

“Daddy!” Duoduo was the first to jump toward it.

Not long afterward, the little girl let out a cry of surprise and cried, “Daddy, your hand!”

After a while of commotion, the yard finally returned to calm.

Chen Rui managed to coax his daughter, and he winked at Isabella, signaling her to take the little girl to sleep first. Madam Aunt looked at his broken arm, bit her lip, and finally left with Duoduo in her arms.

Kia’s eyes were red as she carefully helped Chen Rui apply the medicine. Apart from Chen Rui’s left arm, he had dozens of injuries of various sizes. Although she knew that these were external injuries, the main injury had been healed with the Crown of Thorns, and even the severed arm would be regenerated, the little succubus still shed tears in distress.

While talking to Zola, Athena kept glancing at Kia. She was obviously very worried.

Although Zola advanced to the peak stage of the Pseudo-God, she seemed very depressed, because if it wasn’t for her, Chen Rui would not have suffered such serious injuries.

Athena saw through Zola’s thoughts, so she comforted her with gentle words. The fairy dragon and Athena had always been best friends. Their friendship was no less than that of Isabella, the younger sister. Thinking of the person in her mind at the last moment when Rafferty’s will descended, Zola suddenly lost her composure and cried loudly while hugging Athena.

Strength did matter, but it was not the most important.

Chen Rui had no choice but to come to comfort Zola. Zola cried for a while, then she showed extreme fatigue and fell asleep in his arms. During this time, the fairy dragon was under tremendous stress, both physically and mentally. Now that the pressure had dissipated, and she was by the side of the closest people, she was naturally completely relaxed.

A good night’s sleep at this time was good for mental and physical recovery.

Chen Rui asked Kia to help carry Zola into the room. Athena was now the key protected target, so she should not be too emotional. Delia and Medilu, who had been helping to take care of Athena during this time, stood up and accompanied her to rest.

Olypheus came to Chen Rui and offered a bottle of potent healing potion that had been treasured for many years for ‘free’, but Chen Rui tactfully rejected Ms. Black Dragon’s potion, which she repeatedly emphasized that the original price was 10,000 black crystal coins. If he remembered correctly, he gave this potion to Ms. Black Dragon last time.

Lalaria, on the other hand, patted Chen Rui on the shoulder carelessly, wanting to comfort him, but she habitually said, “Even if you can’t come back, I will take good care of your family.” “If you have any accident, your daughter will be my dearest concubine from now on. No, dearest daughter” and so on.

It was Adeline who was well-behaved. Seeing that these 2 guys tended to mess up more than help, she quickly proposed to go back to her room to watch the finale of a certain drama. The eyes of the 2 black dragons lit up, and they quickly disappeared into Chen Rui’s vision. Chen Rui smiled and nodded at Adeline. The naga girl blushed and followed the black dragons away.

Only Paglios, Dodo and Python were left in the yard.

“Why is only one arm? Why not both arm?” Master Poison Dragon was still worried previously. But Chen Rui was fine now, he couldn’t help gloating a few words.

Suddenly, Master Poison Dragon felt a chill down his spine. He turned his head and saw Python’s indifferent gaze. His heart trembled, and he quickly found an excuse as he dragged Ms. Betty back to the room.

Python didn’t even look at Dodo. When she threw a piece of gem or something casually, the slime immediately jumped up and took it, leaving a series of flattery in the air before he disappeared in the blink of an eye. The series of movements were surprisingly proficient; it was obviously not the first time.

“What do you want to ask?” Chen Rui naturally could see the purpose of Python wanting to be alone with him.

“You” Python stared into his eyes as she was hesitant to say, “Do you”

“Do I?” Chen Rui asked back.

Python hesitated for a moment, and she changed her words, “What did you experience in the elemental world?”

“What do you want me to experience in the elemental world?” Chen Rui asked again, “No wonder you supported me so much to enter the elemental world previously! What exactly do you want to ask? Just say it.”

“No need.” Python watched him carefully for a while. Her gaze seemed to dim a bit, and she didn’t continue.

“I’m afraid your efforts are wasted.” Chen Rui shook his head, “However, what I can tell you is that in the elemental world, the 7 artifacts…”

Python seemed startled, and she blurted out, “In the elemental world, then? Did they trigger any changes?”

Chen Rui thought, “What’s the relationship between the 7 artifacts and the elemental world? What I wanted to say is that the 7 artifacts were suddenly unusable in the elemental world.”

Python pondered for a moment and didn’t answer. She shook her head, turned around and left, “I’ll go back first.”

“Python!”

Python paused and stopped.

“Sorry.”

Python was surprised by the sudden apology, so she turned around.

“Although I’m very sorry, I still want to tell you the truth. I am not ‘him’.”

Python was about to say something, but when she suddenly saw the clarity and sincerity in Chen Rui’s gaze, her heart trembled. She turned her head slowly as her figure disappeared into the night.

Chen Rui was silent for a moment. He sighed and walked toward the room.

Python might not be a friend yet, but at least she was a comrade-in-arms and an ally. Maybe he would lose this ally, but he didn’t want to deceive her like this. Originally under the ‘influence’ of many people, Chen Rui was a little shaken about his identity, but after this experience in the elemental world, he had been able to confirm 1 thing: ‘Chen Rui’ is not ‘that person’.

The real ‘that person’ was most probably the mysterious man who annihilated Elemental Goddess Rafferty.

The first condition Python put forward when she surrendered was to collect the 7 artifacts, and the second condition was to defeat Satan.

When Python said the first condition, she actually had a preconceived notion in her mind, thinking that Chen Rui was a certain ‘person’. Because she had witnessed Chen Rui activate 3 of the 7 artifacts, the Sword of Fallen Angel, the Wrath King Armor and the God-Eating Mask, the latter condition was just to confirm this hypothesis. After Chen Rui completed the 2 conditions of Python. Python was more sure of the assumptions in her mind, so she was willing to surrender. Later, a series of events happened, some of which were accidental, but Python became more and more convinced of this.

Therefore, Python could be regarded as following him wholeheartedly, becoming an indispensable main force and even risking her life in battle.

Maybe it was some kind of kindness back then; maybe it was a more complicated bond.

Because of this, Chen Rui didn’t want her to fight at all costs in deception.

So, backtracking on Python’s ‘preconceptions’ now was the 7 artifacts.

This was also the most important reason why many senior powerhouses misunderstood Chen Rui.

Being able to control all the 7 artifacts must be the characteristic of ‘him’. Judging from the information revealed by Python just now, the 7 artifacts may also have an unexpected special relationship with the elemental world.

The 7 artifacts gave Chen Rui 2 surprises in the elemental world. First, after entering the elemental world, the 6 artifacts analyzed could not be used; second, his soul almost collapsed during the forced fusion of [All Star Gods View]. At that time, the Dark Shadow Cape, which had not been assimilated successfully previously, unexpectedly appeared behind him automatically, protecting his soul. Nonetheless, it also drained took away the huge power of [All Star Gods View].

Then, that tree. The man appeared.

It could be deduced from this that the man was most likely ‘him’!

Chen Rui had been misunderstood by many people as ‘that person’!

That person actually annihilated the will of Elemental Goddess Rafferty. That meant kiling God!

Rafferty didn’t resist at all, but she seemed to be relieved?

These 2 must know each other. And their relationship was not ordinary!

From another perspective, the appearance of this man saved Zola. And also let her have the Heart of God Blessing that only God’s descendants had.

There were too many related questions. Why did the Elemental Goddess Staff wake up ‘early’ as the Elemental King said? Was the Abyss sealed in the elemental world? What was Elemental War? If they didn’t control the Elemental Goddess Staff and the Elemental Goddess Robe, what kind of doom calamity would the elemental world bring?

And so on, there were many questions including the Abyss, sacrifice, and so on. However, the answers to these questions were not urgent. Chen Rui only paid attention to one thing now.

That mysterious man!

Chen Rui crossover to this world as a reborn, and he also experienced the Shura incident, so he was extremely sensitive to this point. When did this man exist? Why did he exist in my body?

The most terrifying thing was this man’s strength, which could destroy an existence like Rafferty. Even if there were many unknown factors in it, Chen Rui’s current strength was unmatched. But in any case, the history of being possessed could not be allowed to repeat itself.

Could it be ‘Arthur’ himself?

Probably not, Arthur was Lex the Great’s own son. He could sense the bloodline. Furthermore, now his soul had disappeared. The reason why he can have today’s strength is entirely due to Chen Rui’s countless hard trainings and fightings with the help of the Super System.

There should be no necessary connection between that person and the Super System. Otherwise, he would have already controlled the Galaxy Divinity Temple, and he didn’t need to drain Chen Rui’s power of the ultimate move. So far in the Super System, Chen Rui was still the highest and only ruler, possessing the power to control everything.

Chen Rui had a vague intuition that that person should have appeared with the help of [All Star Gods View]’s huge faith and life power.

By the way, that tree!

It is actually the Tree of Nature of the elf tribe!

What is the secret of the Tree of Nature?

If the Tree of Nature really has such a powerful, even god-killing power, then it didn’t need to borrow my power to eliminate Quilliana’s avatar.

But the Tree of Nature is definitely a key link.

Chen Rui thought quickly, and many memory fragments began to appear in his mind as he suddenly grasped the key point.

Zola opened the ‘Silver Queen’s trump card’ to get the Elemental Goddess Crown. Without knowing it, it is equivalent to having the qualification to become an elemental messenger.

I got the ‘wood’ trump card, defeated Quilliana’s avatar, and revived the Tree of Nature.

I got the permission to take away the Tree of Nature seedlings implanted in the Super System.

Finoia conveyed the news, asking me not to return the Tree of Nature to the elf tribe as promised.

Zola became the Main Elemental Messenger. I enter the elemental world to save her. Elemental Goddess Rafferty appeared, the Tree of Nature appeared along with ‘that person’, and Rafferty was annihilated.

There seems to be some kind of causal relationship between these events?

Whether there is a special connection or not, there is a shadow of a person in it.

Elf prophet, Alucier!
