After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 554 - 220: You’ve Worked Hard to Get Here

The wind brushed gently, carrying the rustling sound of leaves.

Eden removed the cloak covering her head, revealing her delicate and beautiful face, her gaze firmly fixed on the man before her; their eyes met, following which she gently stretched out her hands to hold Ahtal’s face.

Xi Mu could feel that the palms covering his face were incredibly soft, the sensation as fingertips lightly grazed his skin, and the focus and seriousness in Eden’s eyes.

"Hmm, there’s no problem," Eden withdrew her hand, meeting Ahtal’s surprised gaze, raised her hand to gently gather her hair by her ears, revealing a gentle smile,

"It hasn’t influenced your humanity too much," she seriously explained Ahtal’s current condition.

"I think it still has a significant effect," Xi Mu grabbed Eden’s slender hand and placed it on his face, "Please check again carefully."

Eden did not object, instead gently caressing with her palm in a manner more comforting than inspecting the man before her.

She spoke softly.

"You’ve managed well up to now."

"..."

Xi Mu remained silent, not responding.

Seeing this, Eden stopped caressing his cheek and embraced Ahtal, feeling that a more tangible response was needed to soothe the emotions of this man who had returned from the end of time.

Not far away, a young girl witnessed this scene, covering her mouth with both hands, took a few steps back unconsciously, watching the scene unfold as if it were a painting.

But soon she noticed something irritating, the blue specter that the handsome, dark-haired brother was clutching in his hand, continuously struggling, seeming to be helplessly cursing something.

For a moment... no, perhaps it was a long while.

The two embraced individuals released each other, though their hands remained joined, only to see Eden turn her head and smile at the little girl not far away:

"Liko, you go back to the village first."

"Yes," the little girl obediently nodded, glancing back three times as she walked toward the village, curious about what Eden and the handsome brother might talk about, whether they were sharing romantic feelings or possibly stealing kisses under the tree.

But that was merely wishful thinking, as recently the monsters had become very restless, as if injected with a stimulant into their veins, becoming very agitated.

Whether day or night, the cries of monsters were often heard.

...

...

After passing through the forest clearing,

the view opened up significantly, encompassing a boundless forest that merged with the azure sky, a few eagles soaring across the sky, displaying the overwhelming vitality of the world before one’s eyes, making one’s mood lighten considerably.

This place was at the edge of a cliff, with an old tree growing against the wind, making a symphony of clashing leaves.

Eden sat under the tree, leaning against the old trunk, her emerald eyes reflecting the man sitting beside her under the tree, who was molding the soul of the Splitting Demon into various shapes with one hand on his knee.

"I heard you have reached an agreement with the Time Witch, allowing her to drag the heroes from the past to the present to try and defeat you?"

The world had undergone tremendous changes, heroes from the past descending like meteorites to the human realm, to overcome a world-ending crisis.

Xi Mu acknowledged with a nod, "More accurately, I’ve made a deal with the extraterritorial demon, as for whether they can achieve it or not, it’s uncertain."

He asserted so.

"In this closed world system, the only one who can defeat me is myself."

In this enclosed world system, the only person who could meaningfully defeat him was himself, unless he harbored a desire for death, which could make it possible for him to be slain.

Otherwise, no one could defeat him.

"To transcend the characteristics of the King of Ash and descend into the past," Eden nodded slightly, her voice serious, "This means you have completely surpassed the God of Omniscience."

In a normal sense, the moment Ahtal descended to the present, he would have turned the current era into ashes, yet Ahtal achieved what seemed nearly impossible.

This capability could be said to surpass the fundamental rules of the world system, as challenging as breaking through a sealed world system.

"This isn’t something worth noting," Xi Mu lightly shook his head, he also couldn’t easily explain his own system to Eden, otherwise, it would involve many secrets.

He changed the subject:

"Eden, I would like to ask a favor of you."

"What do you need me to do?" Eden posed a listening expression, currently unable to think of anything she could help Ahtal with.

Xi Mu explained, "Help me perfect a new world model."

In this world, who could better help him perfect his concept than Eden, undisputedly, as the incarnation of the Tree of Omniscience, she covered all existing and non-existing knowledge, making her the person who understood this world the most.

Thus, he needed Eden to help perfect his concept of the world model, relying on his own slow verification and guesses would be too difficult, having Eden’s help to refine and suggest would be the most effective method currently available.

Now he had a general framework, but perfecting it would take more than three years, but with Eden’s help from the world’s perspective,

the situation would be strikingly different.

"What kind of world do you want to create?" Eden inquired, just as Ahtal looked up towards the blue sky and exhaled,

"Create a more stable world, that won’t have to be burnt to ashes just because Ragnarok has arrived,"

he began to explain to Eden.
