After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 129.2

Ye Qingyi answered decisively. “Not a good god.” She added, “At least not now. A good god would not be arrogant, would not restrict humans as if they were threats, and would certainly not be wary of other creators.”

From His creation of the Evil of the Universe and His attitude towards such evil, He absolutely could not be a benevolent god, like the Goddess of Wisdom or the Goddess of Harmony.

Ye Qingyi analyzed. “My image of His divine character is that of a dictator, an authoritarian, holding numerous divine powers, with a personality that is dictatorial, arrogant, and cold.”

It sounded like an extreme feudal emperor. Xiu Si thought to himself.

“Is He also cold towards His own creations?”

Xiu Si pondered for a moment. In his mind appeared Death and Silence in their weak and haggard form, which looked nothing like a natural state, as if they had been abused.

“He is extremely cold, at least from my perspective.”

Ye Qingyi’s tone carried a certain certainty. Often, she preferred to trust her own intuition over pure logical reasoning.

In her intuition, the Creator God was undoubtedly a chilling and ominous existence. If using even more extreme terms, she would even say: “That is an evil god.”

“Is that so.”

Xiu Si heard these things for the first time, his heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. But he could also sense that the Creator God was at least not an existence full of goodwill towards all things.

“The situation is somewhat complicated. We are currently conducting an in-depth investigation. Once we have new information, I will notify you promptly.”

Ye Qingyi seemed to notice the golden chinchilla cat’s tense expression and did not elaborate further.

Xiu Si nodded, “Understood.”

The golden chinchilla cat finally relaxed. Their Sister Ye was indeed frank, almost revealing everything about their matters!

Ten minutes later, the topic gradually stabilized. The two chatted and laughed, catching up on daily matters.

Xiu Si suddenly remembered Wang Chang’er and said. “Speaking of which, Chang’er seems to have caused quite a stir among the elven race.”

“He often causes a stir. Don’t worry too much. If he can’t handle that little matter, he wouldn’t be Hero Wang Chang’er.”

Ye Qingyi took a sip of tea, her tone full of confidence in her friend.

After hearing Ye Qingyi’s words, Xiu Si’s doubts somewhat eased, and he nodded. “You’re right.”

Ye Qingyi turned her gaze to the golden chinchilla cat, curiously asking. “Which child of Brother Xiu’s family is this?”

Xiu Si smiled and introduced. “My family’s fifth child, named Marbas.”

Then he picked up the Devon Rex cat beside him and continued. “This is my family’s fourteenth child, Lelagin.”

Ye Qingyi’s gaze lingered on the golden chinchilla cat for a moment, making the golden chinchilla cat feel a chill down his spine. Fortunately, her gaze quickly shifted to the Devon Rex cat.

The Devon Rex cat had a pure white curly coat, with emerald elf eyes that should have been brilliantly alive, but now seemed somewhat bewildered.

Ye Qingyi only looked for a few seconds, as if she had seen through many things, appearing somewhat dazed.

The Devon Rex cat seemed to sense Ye Qingyi’s concern and walked over with soft steps, gently scratching her arm with its paw, showing affection.

Ye Qingyi was stunned, seemingly surprised, but quickly stabilized her emotions and did not withdraw her arm. She smiled and leaned closer to the cat, gently asking. “Can Aunt touch you?”

The Devon Rex cat obediently extended its paw, even turning its palm over, its tender pink paw looking extremely cute.

Ye Qingyi was captivated by the furry creature, involuntarily reaching out to hold its paw. This was her first time holding a cat’s paw, and at this moment, her feeling was – thrilling!

So soft! She thought to herself.

In fact, the impact on Ye Qingyi was not just the cat’s paw, but more importantly – this child was the Elven Ancestor God Himself!

The handshake seemed to last a century before Ye Qingyi finally came to her senses, her voice slightly trembling as she said to Xiu Si. “Brother Xiu, this… is truly magnificent.”

Xiu Si was puzzled by her reaction, and after a pause, he asked. “What’s wrong? Are you talking about Lelagin?”

Ye Qingyi nodded, her gaze admiring, and said. “Yes, you’re really impressive. It’s wonderful to have so many children at home.”

Xiu Si was stunned, then laughed and shook his head. “Actually, I didn’t do much. They grew up by themselves.”

“It’s really great to have so many children at home.”

Ye Qingyi smiled faintly. She was an only child and always had some longing for families with many members.

“It must be very lively,” she couldn’t help but sigh.

Xiu Si nodded, his eyes involuntarily revealing happiness, warmly saying, “Yes, if They were all here, it would be even more lively. Recently, They are upgrading, so many are not at home.”

As he spoke, a fleeting look of loneliness crossed his eyes.

“Upgrading?”

Ye Qingyi’s smile deepened, “Brother Xiu, your children are all good children. It’s truly enviable.”

Xiu Si smiled slightly, “If They heard you say this, They would be very happy.”

Ye Qingyi nodded firmly, “They will see.”

After speaking, she casually glanced at the golden chinchilla cat.

The golden chinchilla cat had a sudden inspiration and called out. “Sister Ye is so beautiful meow.”

This would work on most people, but not on Ye Qingyi. In her dictionary, “beautiful” was not a compliment. However, the “Sister Ye” part sounded nice.

The golden chinchilla cat almost instantly understood and said again. “Sister Ye is young and powerful!”

This time, he finally got it right. Good nephew meow!

Ye Qingyi revealed a natural, radiant smile, “Fifth nephew is chubby, like a whole wheat bread, quite cute.”

The golden chinchilla cat was inwardly delighted but thought “chubby” could be omitted. He silently corrected in his mind. This is called muscular! And I’m not bread, no eating allowed meow!

Their eyes met.

Xiu Si laughed, “Mar is quite talkative.”

Ye Qingyi turned her head, her eyes flashing with memories, “I remember your eldest, second, and third cubs. When They were young, They didn’t like to talk much, especially the eldest.”

Xiu Si nodded. “He remained silent even after growing up.”

“That’s just his personality,” Ye Qingyi said calmly.

Though she seemed composed, her inner shock had never stopped. Just the fact that the Demon God Baal was Brother Xiu’s child was shocking enough.

She should have known because Brother Xiu had told her the name back then, but she simply couldn’t connect the dots. That tiny tiger cub learning to walk in Brother Xiu’s palm would actually become the Demon God Baal who would shock the continent and even the entire universe.

How could she not be shocked? Moreover, there was Agares, whom she had seen more than once. Back then, Agares had used a human identity, appearing as an elderly figure, considered the most intelligent human in history. She had been deeply moved and visited several times, but for some reason, she had never been able to meet Agares as she wished. Now, thinking about it, good heavens, it was actually like this.

Brother Xiu’s children were too talented. If they joined forces, they could almost rule the universe. Even this golden whole wheat bread…

Ye Qingyi’s gaze fell on the golden chinchilla cat. Despite appearances, His true identity was the universe’s richest being, possessing the power of quantity, a cheating existence!

Would patting His head make gold coins fall?

Under her fixed gaze, the golden chinchilla cat tilted His head, as if asking. “Aunt, are you okay?”

Ye Qingyi coughed, quickly suppressing her excitement. No no, no matter what, He was still Brother Xiu’s child. As an aunt, no, as a sister, how could you covet your nephew’s little treasury?

Xiu Si, seeing her focus on the golden chinchilla cat, thought she liked Him and smiled silently.

The two reminisced for several more hours, discussing not only the past but also Xiu Si’s current upgrading challenges.

“Can’t find a direction?” Ye Qingyi asked.

“Yes, previously with books and guidance, I progressed quickly. But now the book’s direction has been exhausted, and continuing to read would be meaningless.”

Xiu Si spoke honestly.

Ye Qingyi pondered for a moment, then raised her eyes. “I don’t know how the Creator profession advances. I’ll just share my experience.”

“Okay.” Xiu Si nodded.

Ye Qingyi was among the top ten most powerful figures in human history, and her experience was undoubtedly valuable.

Ye Qingyi organized her thoughts and slowly said, “If you’ve searched everywhere and found no path, then you must forge your own. Didn’t Brother Xiu do the same before? It was just that you had some books as reference along the way. Now that the books are finished, we return to the beginning, right? Relying solely on books is not advisable. True powerhouses forge their own paths. So Brother Xiu, perhaps now is the time to think about your own path.”

“My own path?”

Xiu Si was not surprised by these words. He had somewhat sensed this himself, though he had grown dependent on the previous method.

Ye Qingyi smiled and said, “Actually, Brother Xiu, have you noticed that normally, otherworld upgrading isn’t very difficult.”

“I’ve felt it somewhat.”

Xiu Si nodded, thinking that indeed, after the so-called “restriction curse” was lifted, his upgrading could be described as rapid. Quantitative changes naturally led to qualitative changes. As long as he worked hard, he would see results. His path had been full of positive feedback, and he had almost never taken a wrong turn in leveling up. Thinking carefully, he realized he had been incredibly lucky.

He always felt… that he had been under someone’s protection. They guided him without letting him notice, because They wanted every step to be chosen and walked by himself.

Xiu Si fell silent, vaguely sensing who it was, and felt a sudden warmth in his heart, silently muttering, “You’ve worked hard. For the road ahead, Father will figure it out.”

The other party, deep in the bottom of dreams, did not respond.

Afterwards, Ye Qingyi elaborated on her upgrade level breakthrough experiences, especially regarding levels 80 to 90. As a grand mentor who had taught countless students, she explained things in a popular and easy-to-understand manner, extracting insights that could be applied across different domains.

Unknowingly, the sky had darkened. The Devon Rex cat was already asleep, tail curled, nestled on Xiu Si’s lap, breathing evenly.

The golden chinchilla cat was also drowsy, with reddish, slightly moist corners of His eyes.

Ye Qingyi finished her last sip of tea and slowly stood up, saying calmly. “It was fun chatting today. Brother Xiu, we’ll meet again another day.”

Xiu Si also stood up and asked. “Are you going to Chang’er’s?”

Ye Qingyi nodded, her tone slightly teasing, “Yes. He’s powerful, but after all, just one person. I need to be his backup.”

“Haha,” Xiu Si’s smile faded, and he said solemnly. “If only I could help you too.”

Ye Qingyi nodded, earnestly saying. “That day will come.” In fact, that day had long arrived. His children had always been helping them.

Xiu Si’s gaze was determined. “Yes, I will also try to keep up with you all.”

“I hope the next time we meet will be our seven-person grand reunion.”

“Me too.”

Their gazes met, with a final farewell.

Xiu Si’s two newly created little ones inexplicably flew out of his spiritual sea, circling around Ye Qingyi.

Ye Qingyi showed the most shocked expression of the entire day, her eyes wide open, taking a full minute to recover.

“So beautiful,” she sighed from the heart.

A few seconds later, Ye Qingyi walked into the spatial channel. The black and white butterfly seemed tired and returned to Xiu Si’s spiritual sea.

Xiu Si watched her back until she disappeared, reflecting for a few minutes before finally settling on a resolute thought, no longer feeling lost.

He lowered his head and picked up the Devon Rex cat.

At this moment, the golden chinchilla cat woke up, looking spirited.

“Father is going to sleep? I’ll guard Father meow!”

His “meow” was not as skillful as His siblings’, and this awkwardness was also cute.

“Mm, I’ll be troubling you.”

Xiu Si patted the golden chinchilla cat’s head, suddenly realizing it was really like kneading bread, almost making himself hungry late at night.

But the “bread” was unaware, actively nudging the palm and giggling.

Damn, this made Him even cuter! Xiu Si’s inner defenses were breached, and after a few seconds, He took Them downstairs to the bedroom and placed Them in the cat bed.

“If anything happens tonight, remember to wake me up, understand?”

Xiu Si instructed.

the golden chinchilla cat nodded forcefully, “Leave it to me meow!”

Xiu Si was relieved and soon fell asleep.

A few minutes later, the golden chinchilla cat confirmed various messages about the Infinite Trial and then jumped out of the cat bed, tiptoeing to the bedside.

He had good news to tell His father. Beleth and the others had completed their historical re-editing!!
