Chapter 278 Cat Cake

"Some of them called Him, the Formless Sleeper IX.

Most of the people who self-destruct in the world are those who have accidentally stepped into the shadow of IX and lost their meaning. Some are confused and ignorant, while others, even after realizing the emptiness of the world, still develop a desire to resist.

Some people try to heal others' emptiness in order to find their own meaning, and some even try hard to prove to IX that existence is not nothingness.

[Chaos Doctors] are exactly such a group.

The disc they released was originally an attempt at medical treatment. How could it not be a gentle yet cruel treatment to allow a mentally ill person to once again experience all the flavors of the world?

Then, doctors accidentally gave it to the sleeping formless person IX, like a medical experiment, a business investment, and a little hope for the twig pickers...

IX responded, a slight change, but it was enough to delight the doctors who had launched countless futile rebellions. The shadow that equally enveloped all beings in the universe, the vast divine body, its eyes gazing at the world in light-years, trembled slightly.

This is what should be done.

You nodded. If He never responded, how could you bully Him into rejecting you weakly? Proposing to IX, for example, wouldn't it be possible for someone else to succeed?

So, you deserve it.

The twinkle in his eyes was the limit of what he could give as the Sleeping Formless One IX.

The doctors were ecstatic. If existence itself were nothing, then your disc wouldn't be enough to shake it; but if existence wasn't nothing, then their futile attempts to save themselves from the world, from nothingness, and from themselves were by no means meaningless.

They fought with all their might against the shadow brought by nothingness, and extended a helping hand to others... These Chaos Doctors finally used the Cat Cake to pry open a crack, and were able to rest from the ubiquitous fatigue.

So, why mention them?

—It's just a small reward for the brave fool's progress.

It's a bit heavy that your joke is regarded as a way of salvation by others, but you won't be paranoid and exclude them all because of it.

"Well, although I don't deal with those guys very often..." Sambo spread his hands, "but even I, old Sambo, admit that I'm a little inferior to them in some aspects."

By the way, your dear Sambo is still a destiny walker of nothingness.

You turned to look at him, only to see him give you a sly smile. "I have to be clear, dear, your words are quite... well, hypocritical."

There is nothing we can do about this.

When you think everything is calm, a Chaos Doctor sets out from a remote and feudal planet on the other side of the starry sea, crosses billions of stars, experiences dozens of crises of stranded ships, and finally arrives at Yalilo-VI.

...If it weren't for Yinzhi's escort along the way, the doctor wouldn't even have the chance to see the soft life that he had described countless times in his dreams because of the disc - that's you.

"What would happen to him without Silver Branch?"

"It's probably like a pilgrimage, step by step, searching for traces of you on other planets. Didn't you mention some of your... snack friends? In the entire universe, there's no easier place to find information than theirs."

You get the idea.

Therefore, you will encounter the Zerg, or the civilization that Dr. Primitive has intervened in, and finally arrive at the fairy ship with a little bit of humanistic care.

That's not entirely true.

According to Yinzhi's careful research, the poor doctor might not even be able to afford the spaceship's parking fee.

He will really come to you like a pious and ragged pilgrim, even if his death is in vain.

do what?

Gift.

The poor but peaceful doctor, whose tattered yet neat clothes did not ask for miracles or more charity, he came only to offer gifts.

The more backward the civilization, the purer its faith.

Because the soil there is nothing but faith."

"When you met the doctor on the Rarely, Silver Branch didn't tell you who this unfortunate soul was. This clear-sighted, pure-looking knight felt it wasn't his place to speak on this matter.

So, the 72 coconut and sweet bean cakes kindly sympathized with the passengers in distress.

In order to avoid affecting Yinzhi's good deeds with your eyes, you don't even dare to look at her face.

Occasionally, one or two cat cakes would hide by the door frame and peek out. Their shells were so soft that they would fall out if they were not careful... and then they would be caught by the Chaos Doctor who had been calm and composed since he got on board.

But the doctor's behavior at that time was... quite natural. You couldn't tell at all that he was the kind of person who would cross the starry sea for Maomao Cake - but in terms of his strong will, this was obvious.

After traveling together for more than ten days, Yinzhi, who had never seen such a rare opportunity, already knew what kind of civilization Chaos Doctor came from. She spared no effort to praise his extremely pure and beautiful pilgrimage, but insisted on not revealing the gift to you.

The bad thing about not being good at academic subjects is that you rely too much on the built-in search engine.

You were completely unaware that the spaceship was jumping towards your base camp, Yalilo-VI.

...You received this gift at the fall of the Creperie hammer, heralding the beginning of a new Amber Age.

They cast iron and steel, cut fabrics, and a civilization shrouded in fog, numb and dead, gradually began to operate. After being submerged in the shadow of the dormant Formless One IX for more than fifty years, they gradually picked up their past like children learning to walk.

Then the statue was transformed from a crude shell and craftsmanship into its current tall appearance through continuous stacking, polishing, and modification.

This civilization, which had only recently ventured into the starry sky, relied on its ancient and backward spacecraft. Even though it encountered various difficulties and was forced to discard various artifacts along the way, it still insisted on embarking on a journey of tribute with the spacecraft, which occupied most of the payload.

——It is a statue of a napping cat cake.

Less than half the size of the Eternal Winter Monument in front of Krippleburg, it has a rounded, plump appearance and a lively and peaceful demeanor. That's you.

Then, the flowers are clustered together with the fabric. The silk thread is not expensive, but the available silk thread is carefully split into 8 or 12 strands to make the softest, brightest and most lifelike flowers.

The biggest sadness of the coconut cat cake on the disc is that the small flowers on the shell have fallen off, so they let all kinds of flowers embrace you...

Your sense of deservingness is high enough, but even you would want to ask the doctor if there is anything you want.

At this moment, you finally remembered one of your identities as a god, and began to feel dissatisfied with the Red King - Hajimon, you used to eat so well?!

...But, no.

The doctor comes to see you only to offer a gift.

He neither tried to seek help from other civilizations, nor prayed for mercy from the star gods after stepping into the starry sky.

Nothing else, only you.

You think about it, and it seems to be true. You, too, are just a tiny cat on a remote planet. Perhaps by chance, a disc has spread far and wide across the universe, even traveling across the starry seas to reach another backward civilization...

You asked him again, how did they get the disc?

Doctor Chaos said that it was left by a man wearing a crying and laughing mask, and he left behind a playback device. At first, everyone was still numb and tired and didn't care about the man's whereabouts.

You have many doubts, but he smiles with bright eyes and looks very energetic. He even comforts you in return, telling you not to feel burdened.

The civilization you live in is equally poor in material terms. He has seen how you spend your day and knows how rare it is for you to smile in this pale world... Just knowing that you exist and living in a corner of the universe is a blessing.

So, they don't ask you for anything.

"Remember? A friend of yours appeared on the disc, a little kid who had never seen the sky before and mistook it for a tall blue roof..."

Doctor Chaos talked about what happened after the man with the crying and laughing mask left.

Later, the person closest to the playback device learned to laugh.

So, [laughter] is like a sneeze, spreading to everyone nearby.

"Just like that child, our civilized children are born unable to laugh." His eyes flashed with a fiery and bright presence, "But that day, the children laughed."

You recognize what exists in his eyes, it is called hope.

"Children's innocent smiles are more precious than any treasure."

Therefore, this unfortunate civilization insists that you are a gentle and great being.

Then he prostrates himself before you humbly and reverently, "Your Excellency, I offer you my highest respects and sincere greetings."

“May your every day be as bright as the sunshine.”

Of course he knows that you are just a little cat. Not only does he know this, he also loves you like he loves every child in his hometown.

Who can say that a great god cannot be a child?"

“Sambo is right.

Even a god like you is incredibly emotional, so it's impossible not to be moved by this. You used to think you were a willful and self-centered person, but now you feel that something is wrong and you think you need to change.

You don't like being chased by others, you like to take the fruits on your own initiative.

In other words, you can give it voluntarily, but others cannot take it.

Afterwards, 1308... no, 1304 cat cakes, except those who left with the Rememberer, and those with Jeppard, Dihuo, and Sambo, all went to various places like scattered sparks.

"Dear Sambo, I'm the only one left now. Will you be lonely?" you asked.

Sambo shook his head. "No, I've been waiting for this day for a long time."

Before you could raise your tail, he raised his hands and said with a smile, "Please forgive me, my dear God. I can stay in this small place like Belloberg, but——"

You almost thought he was going to say something stupid.

almost.

But he relaxed his brows and said with a smile, "My dear, my fun is still in Beloberg, but yours is not here."

He propped up his chin, smiling to hide the emotions in his eyes, "Besides, I remember every one of you and will never forget you."

You suddenly feel that Sambo is not only quite pretty in addition to the stylish tops.

"So, just put your heart...into the filling." Sambo patted your duangduang face.

At this time, Gao took back the little flower that was spinning in the background.

——People from the Happy Family are really difficult to deal with.

You fired a map cannon.

After all, who else could the Crying and Laughing Mask that Doctor Chaos mentioned be other than...?"
