After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 514 - 202: Embrace from The Little Mare

A gentle breeze caressed the air.

Xi Mu took a deep breath, as if to inhale the vitality contained in the world into his lungs. The scenery had suddenly transitioned from the Ash Kingdom, and one could immediately feel the surging life force here. The air around was moist and fresh, and the melodious sound of bird songs emanated from the treetops, while the clear river reflected the azure sky.

No wonder the King of Ash harbored a so-called urge to create. Merely witnessing this world at the end of time, yet unable to touch anything, it wasn’t strange for the desire to create to arise.

And in that moment,

Xi Mu suddenly felt a familiar presence, but instead of turning to look, he calmly said,

"Aren’t you going to strike me down?"

"King of Ash, what is your purpose?" the God of Omniscience asked calmly, his voice void of any hostility or goodwill.

The arrival of the King of Ash wasn’t detected through His power instantly, rather the King of Ash had intentionally alerted Him, prompting His descent from the high heavens. Therefore, this encounter was at the invitation of the King of Ash.

Moreover, He didn’t have a reason to act against the King of Ash now, doing so would only provoke the King of Ash to burn the current time. Since the King of Ash had made no moves, there was no need to act.

"Perhaps I wished to witness the last afterglow of this era." Xi Mu’s gaze fell upon the God of Omniscience, his ruby-like pupils burning like flames, "All the heroes of the past have been resurrected in this era, to fight for the future of this world."

He revealed a wicked smile.

"Crushing them all would certainly be interesting."

It wasn’t a lie.

The God of Omniscience could determine that the words spoken by the King of Ash who had crossed from the end of time were from his heart. He truly wished to crush all the heroes from history, and he indeed had the capacity to do so.

The very essence of the King of Ash at the end of time could move back through the river of past time, incinerating everything into ash.

"However, it would be too boring to obliterate them now." Xi Mu suddenly spoke with less enthusiasm, calmly redirecting his gaze, "I will give them time to grow, until they are worthy to stand before me."

His current goal was to reach an omnipotent state, and aside from ponderous meditation and training, there were only two methods to hasten his mastery over the players’ powers: the first was to capture an omnipotent being who also possessed player powers and, like Hecate, the teacher, directly absorb all their experience in using power; the second was to fight beings with different abilities, utilizing his own power to vanquish enemies and thus develop his capabilities.

"Is this the reason the Time Witch convinced you?" the God of Omniscience inquired. He believed that Ahtal looked forward to fighting the heroes from the past, but he doubted that was the only reason. There must be a more significant motive at play.

"Has that woman not come clean to you yet?" Xi Mu chuckled, his red jewel-like eyes fading, "Perhaps it’s more interesting to burn this way."

The God of Omniscience fell silent for a moment before saying, "State your conditions."

As a deity wielding the power of answers, He possessed an ability almost capable of resolving all queries, so He could judge that the King of Ash’s insistence on threatening to burn the world was to coerce Him into agreeing to certain conditions.

Even though He realized the King of Ash was coercing Him, He had no choice but to agree.

"The power to answer really is useful." Xi Mu chuckled lightly, his encounter with the God of Omniscience was no accident, nor was it the God of Omniscience’s detection of his presence, but a deliberate meeting He orchestrated.

The reason for doing so was simple: to seize the initiative and to reap more suitable harvests.

"To allow them ample growth, I want you to leave the present time and resist the arrival of Ragnarok in the future."

The atmosphere suddenly grew silent.

The God of Omniscience, with the power to answer, looked puzzled for the first time. He truly did not understand the meaning behind this request. Could it be the King of Ash was simply bored and looking to fight Him? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

If the King of Ash didn’t burn the world and the Time Witch didn’t interfere with time, He could unleash His full strength. Even though the world’s relentless imperfections weakened Him, He still maintained considerable power. At the very least, He could inflict damage on the King of Ash.

"Is it that difficult to decide?" Xi Mu inquired, wanting to fight the God of Omniscience merely to accelerate his understanding of power, since the God of Omniscience was the being best at wielding it.

After all, in the Ash Kingdom, He couldn’t be slain, so there was ample time to tangle and clash with the God of Omniscience leisurely.

The God of Omniscience fell silent once more, then nodded slightly: "Granted."

Xi Mu also nodded in satisfaction, then stated the next condition, "Bestow blessings on the resurrected heroes from the past, allowing their souls to return and revive from Hell."

"No." The God of Omniscience responded instantly, "The descendants of Adam cannot receive blessings."

After Adam and Eve renounced His blessings and requested that He not bestow any blessings on their descendants, letting them grow on their own on this land.

Looking at the final outcome, the decision made by Adam and Eve was not wrong. Their descendants truly grew, and a King of Ash appeared at an equal stature to Him, something He had not foreseen in the past.
