This action made Zoe's "what a coincidence" seem not so coincidental, more like an inevitability.

Yesterday, Leviathan's rebirth and Fafnir's attack triggered powerful Dragon Factors and pure magic power fluctuations, and today the Earth Serpent was born. It's hard to say it wasn't influenced by the former.

However, due to the unique nature of the Star Soul, there were no Demon Dragons attacking this time.

"Oh, oh, the eggshell broke, did it?"

Akuya also appeared.

She looked at Leviathan complicatedly, then pinched her chin while examining Anastasia: "Hmm, she looks great with this Dragon's handiwork, perhaps she can even..."

As she spoke the second half, her divine incarnation mumbled something unclear, but everyone could feel her affirmation.

"Thank you, divine spirit who granted me power, I shall not disgrace your glory."

"Heh, heh, the creation of the Divine People is still promising, more grateful than any Sky Knight. No choice, it's an investment; after all, these guys play a crucial role in the affairs of the Six Dragons," Akuya waved her hand.

Although the early tranquility was shattered, the atmosphere in the scene was harmonious after that, and Li Ang also relaxed.

Farina approached Xiaohan like caring for a child, while Meruna stood quietly beside Li Ang, and Meimei whispered to herself.

"Even the Star Soul has joined our side? Maybe there is hope, but the Star Soul is tied not to him but to that wild child, could it be..."

You can't call Zoe by her name? Even Meimei holds such views, Li Ang shook his head helplessly.

It was only a matter of time before she noticed Zoe's uniqueness. But if she changes the "Savior of this world" recognition from Li Ang to Zoe, who knows what she'll do then.

The novelty brought by Xiaohan could not end quickly, and Li Ang sat down to think.

Anastasia's mention of "what I was meant to do" prompted Li Ang to think about the Star Soul.

It's now known that the Star Soul was created by the Divine People, with extraordinary skills. They can easily craft soul guards like the Divine Wood Sentinels to protect the Star Soul, and though the Star Soul has both human and beast forms, appearing as flesh-and-blood creatures, in some ways, they seem to be written with "programs."

The Earth Serpent's words seemed to reveal that she reveres the "Divine Child" as a predetermined program.

But on the heart of Satus Island, she was trying to devour Zoe's power. Perhaps this is what she referred to as "savage ignorance."

Combining Zoe's physique known as the "Star Soul Greenhouse," this also seems like a creation... The relationship between the Star Soul Greenhouse and the Star Soul is very intriguing—a bond not purely of master and servant, sometimes with the former's power being coveted by the latter.

In any case, it's quite something to ponder.

"...Here are the long-eared Elves, Lulu, and the Wolf-eared ones, you've met them before."

"What long ears? Call me by my name properly."

"Hello Xiaohan, nice to meet you again."

"Golden Snake, you were reliable in the Dueling Arena. My friends also call me An, so maybe you could change how you address me."

The reborn Anastasia retained previous memories, though still a bit dazed, seemingly needing to reevaluate the things in front of her.

"Oh right, we talked about this before, calling An and Xiaohan could be confusing," Zoe said, a bit troubled.

"Call her Anna? The name also has a nice meaning," Alulu said. Many members of the Wotam sect like to give their daughters such names, signifying grace or blessings with a good wish.

"Anna, that's good, and it's clear who it refers to," Zoe laughed.

"It's up to the Divine Child."

...

"Then, Li Ang, you surely know that when I helped him, I had you follow him alone for a while."

The young girls' chats eventually turned to Li Ang.

Li Ang left his thoughts and looked at them, meeting Anastasia's gaze.

Her gem-lit eyes narrowed slightly, somewhat shy.

"Bad person."

"Huh?" Li Ang was a bit surprised: "Are you calling me a bad person?"

The noble young girl slightly shrunk, as if she wanted to hide behind Zoe.

"What's going on, what's going on?" Dorothy looked back and forth: "You haven't done anything bad to her, have you?"

"Bad? Me? The Earth Serpent helped at Spark Port, and later she resonated with Zoe; her energy was in her body."

Li Ang felt quite puzzled. Especially with this half-elf filled with nonsense, what could he have done to be defined as bad by Dorothy's standards? But now the more he said, the more mistakes he might make, so he didn't want to say a word.

"Is it because he hit you on Satus Island?" Zoe asked now.

Anastasia nodded lightly.

"Well, that's why you remember that conflict so clearly."

It was the first encounter with the Star Soul back then, with no prediction of its civilization-ending level attacks. Li Ang had no equipment to cooperate, and as a pure support, Zoe was weak at that time, and they fought the Golden Great Serpent for half a day.

Li Ang leaned slightly forward, and the golden-haired girl took half a step back, bumping into Zoe's sword sheath.

Seeing the Wind Breath Sword, the girl's star pupils shrank sharply, retreating a few steps.

"Ah, it's—"

Zoe instinctively drew her sword, and Anastasia immediately let out a low cry, even causing Li Ang not to be afraid, sidestepping to hide behind him.

"The sword of the bad guy."

After the reforging by Farlonio, the power of the Wind Breath Sword kept returning and climbing. Although it hadn't reached the Excellence Realm yet, it was already emitting a sharp Wind Element aura.

The Wind Element oppresses the Earth Element, and although Anna shouldn't fear the Wind Breath Sword at this stage, she had indeed been killed by it once.

The sword wielder was Zoe's biological father.

"Bad guy?"

"Talking about your father."

"Right, back on Satus Island, we saw Anna's original form. The wound on her head was made by my father releasing the power of the Wind Breath Sword to pierce it, and it was Li Ang who told me this." 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Zoe's words reminded Anna of the memory at that time, her expression turning unpleasant.

"You really say everything, huh," Dorothy sighed.

"Anna was a bad snake then, wasn't she? Had she not fought with us?"

"I… couldn't control myself at that time."

Alulu diverted the topic: "Zoe, are you looking for your parents? Since Anna remembers then, could she depict what your father and mother really look like?"

"Yeah."

Li Ang suddenly realized, this reminder was clever.

He bent down to ask the noble girl: "Could you help us describe them?"

As Li Ang approached, the young girl acted as if she been struck by something, retreating behind the girls.

"Bad person! Bad person! No, the Thunderstorm Star Soul said… Wait, I… Creator, Divine Child, Greenhouse..."

Her eyes shone with divine light, seeming like the ancient memories, the sole past memories on Satus Island, and the information endowed by the Thunderstorm Star Soul were conflicting. After struggling for a long time, she temporarily closed her eyes, falling into a meditative state.

"This Star Soul's state is still unstable; she hasn't fully transformed according to the Divine People's program; you all should rest for a while," Akuya said.
