"What response do the people from the Void Realm have?"

These words were spoken by Mephisto, one of the demons of hell. As the one with the most outstanding intelligence among the three sisters, she was forced to shoulder the responsibility of using her brain... Her two younger sisters were not exactly stupid either.

He's just a bit... reckless.

The people he was questioning were several demons dressed in suits... The demons, both male and female, exchanged glances, and then the male demon in the lead fiddled with his white curly hair and shook his head helplessly.

"Lord Mephisto...they...it doesn't matter."

Mephisto was stunned by their response...

It doesn't matter... Surprisingly reasonable.

...

Here, the "they" that these demons are referring to are naturally not those outside the realm of illusion... Regardless of the world, it's perfectly normal for those outside the realm of illusion to feel indifferent, and it's not worth her asking "why" at all.

Those few devils in suits aren't capable of communicating face-to-face with outsiders...

The "they" here refers to the inhabitants of the virtual world.

"What exactly did they say?"

In response to Mephisto's questioning, the demon sighed softly and replied, "To be specific—[Life is like a drifting cloud, carried away by the wind, with nothing to seek, having not felt the joy of life, I dare not grieve at its end.]"

"..."

In the silence, Mephisto sighed, realizing that it sounded like something someone from the Void Realm would say... People from the Void Realm were just empty shells without desires or wants.

"You've worked hard. Negotiating with the people from the Void Realm must have been very difficult..."

Mephisto comforted the demons, and seeing the tangible weariness on their faces, she shook her head with a sigh and said, "The power we can summon has dwindled again."

Yes, although it seems that the calamity is a common disaster for all nine realms, it appears that only the [Material Plane, where the World Tree is located] is affected first.

Moreover, few are able to contribute to resisting disasters.

The gods of the divine realm are dead, the celestial realm has its own mission, all life in the astral realm is just that one [astral body], there are very few living beings in the spirit realm that can communicate normally, the illusory realm is without desires, the shadow realm has no intelligent life, and hell also has its own mission.

Based on the current situation, it can almost be described as...

The main plane has taken on the main responsibility alone.

——————————

Although they knew nothing about the situation, and the so-called "place with the thickest fog" was just a wild guess, the three of them still headed towards the place where they could clearly feel the fog was thick.

"Memory..."

As she said this, she checked her body again... but there was still nothing unusual, and unlike the ghosts, her body did not gradually turn into mist.

"There shouldn't be any need to worry, right? After all, if something really does happen, those extraneous points will remind us."

Satan Ye's words reassured Youyou somewhat.

...

Indeed, if coming to the spirit world would have any irreversible impact on Youyou and others, then those outsiders, or snake women, would definitely warn Yinla.

Well, even if Vereesa and the human woman forgot about this (which is entirely possible)... Leonard would definitely have told Ira, there's no doubt about that.

(Leonard: What do I mean by conscience? Conscience!)

"Well, I hope so... I don't want to lose my memory, not even the slightest bit."

As she spoke softly, she walked at the front, holding half of the Satanic Leaf behind her, and said, "Your Highness and Mr. Yinla are the same, aren't they? We both have things we never want to forget."

Yinla also felt this deeply, but Satan Ye, who had relatively little experience and few unforgettable memories, could only nod in agreement.

"Do you mean your memories from before you died?"

As Yinla asked this, he looked at the oppressive environment and atmosphere... In such low visibility, it was indeed appropriate to say something to ease the tension, although he might just be overthinking it.

"Hmm? Before he died?"

Youyou made a somewhat confused sound, then realized something. She pushed up her glasses, smiled, and said, "That's not how it is. I don't have memories of before I became a ghost. I mean, memories of after I became a ghost."

As she spoke, Youyou revealed a nostalgic expression and said, "I woke up in a graveyard, and then, in a daze, I came to the Demon King's territory and became a ghost maid who knew nothing."

[I highly recommend the source-switching app for reading books; it's really useful. Download it here: huanyuanapp. Give it a try!]

In that case, Youyou doesn't even know what species she was in her previous life.

Ghosts were never human in their previous lives... no, they could have been human, but not a normal human, but a superfluous human, like an artificial human.

In short, souls whose origins are unknown, have nowhere to go after death, and thus have a chance to become ghosts... For example, Lotia's warhorse, which should theoretically either become a ghost or go to the spirit world.

However, Lothia's warhorse went to the World Tree "normally"... it was obviously sucked there.

"Is that so? Anyway, as far back as I can remember, Youyou has been in charge of the money... As far back as I can remember, it seems like everyone has been in charge of the money... I mean, their positions."

"Satanye answered," she said, peeking out from beside Youyou to survey the path ahead before pulling her head back in. "You've all lived for a long time..."

This is a rare sentiment heard in this world... In fact, under normal circumstances, the most common comments would be something like, "You haven't changed at all..." or "Ah, it's been so long since I've been back. Have you already returned to the World Tree?"

Just like when Ira saw her childhood playmate after decades of separation.

Some have long since grown old, and some have long since died.

"Yes, we've all watched Your Highness grow up, little by little."

As she said this, she pushed up her glasses, smiled, and said, "From the tiny baby dragon, through its first transformation, and then growing up little by little, we and Sirina slowly studied how to raise a child."

"I slowly taught you to eat, walk, and speak the common language, and I let you know our names, let you know who your father is... This is what I'm talking about... Memories I absolutely don't want to lose."

"..."

Is Favignon really completely useless?!

Yinla mentally complained, looking at Satan Ye who was nodding gratefully, but still didn't say that jarring thing... Thinking about it from another angle, he was really glad that Youse was slightly more useful than Faviginho.

At least he occasionally takes care of the children.

...

(Youse: Uh... just a little bit...)

(Favignon: ...Heh!)
