Shangjing City.
The golden fallen leaves swept across the brand new brick floor with the cool autumn breeze.
In the courtyard, Li Zhenzhen took a wide broom and swept the golden leaves on the ground to the side, making a rhythmic rustling sound.
Knock knock knock——!
The sudden knock on the door startled Li Zhenzhen. She put down the broom, walked quickly to the vermilion door and opened it.
On the steps covered with fallen leaves, a familiar young man was standing there, looking at her with a smile. Behind him was a petite girl with two colorful braids, looking around curiously.
"Instructor Lin?!"
Seeing the person behind the door, Li Zhenzhen was stunned at first, then she was surprised, "Why are you here?!"
Li Zhenzhen quickly pushed the door open. Lin Qiye and the girl behind him stepped over the threshold, blinked, and said loudly:
"Li Zhenzhen! Speak louder!"
After returning to Daxia, Sun Wukong immediately went to the Heavenly Palace to get an elixir for Lin Qiye to repair his deaf ears. However, the sound that shattered his ears was too strange, and the effect of the elixir was weakened a lot. The repair speed of the eardrum was much slower than he expected, and now he could only vaguely hear some sounds.
Conventional elixirs were useless, so Sun Wukong and Yang Jian went directly to the Lord of Dao and Virtue to ask him to make elixirs. However, making elixirs takes time, and now Lin Qiye can only lean over to listen and barely communicate with others.
Li Zhenzhen was startled when she saw Lin Qiye suddenly shouting. She looked at Lin Qiye's ears strangely, as if she understood something, and shouted again at the top of her voice:
"Instructor Lin! Why are you here?!"
"Don't be so loud! I'm not deaf!" Lin Qiye rubbed his ears and said helplessly, "I just came back from completing a mission in the fog and passed by Shangjing, so I came to see you... By the way, I want to take Jia Lan away."
"Instructor Galan? Have you found a way to wake her up?" Li Zhenzhen asked in surprise.
“I guess so.”
Lin Qiye turned around and smiled at Shi Kodi who was looking around curiously, "Let's go, the person I want you to help save is inside."
Lin Qiye led Shi Koudi through the center of the courtyard and walked straight to one of the rooms. He pushed open the door, and a faint fragrance wafted towards them.
On the bed, a girl in a blue Han robe was lying quietly, her silky black hair falling along the edge of the bed like a waterfall.
Shikoti's eyes fell on the beautiful face with closed eyes, and her mouth opened slightly:
"This sister is so beautiful..."
Lin Qiye walked up to the sleeping Galan and stared at that delicate face, his eyes full of complexity.
More than half a year had passed since the battle at Takamagahara, but Galan still showed no signs of waking up, and the years had not left any traces on her face. If this continued, she might sleep forever...
"How about it, can we speed up her waking up?" Lin Qiye looked at Shi Koti and spoke anxiously.
Shikoti frowned slightly. She raised her fingertips and lightly stroked Jialan's body. The time on the bed suddenly accelerated.
After thinking for a moment, she spoke uncertainly:
"This sister's body... seems to be eating time?"
“Almost.” Lin Qiye recalled Ji Nian’s description of her situation and nodded. “She is using time to complete the [Immortality] in her body and then impact the Divine Realm… but this time is too long. I hope you can speed up the process and let her wake up soon.”
Galan has to rely on time to impact the divine realm, and Shikoti is the god who controls the flow of time. She accelerates this process, which is similar to a kind of "feeding". In theory, she can awaken Galan in a short time.
"It's possible." Shikoti carefully sensed for a moment, "But..."
"But what?"
"However, she needs too much time. According to the natural flow of time, it will take her at least hundreds of years to complete this process. Even I can't compress this time too long."
"How long can you do this?"
"Taking into account the time it takes for my divine power to recover, this process will take at least two years."
"Two years?" Lin Qiye frowned slightly. Although this time was much shorter than a hundred years, it still seemed a bit long. "What if I help you solve the problem of divine power consumption?"
Lin Qiye recalled that Yang Jian once told him that there was a spring in Heaven that could greatly speed up the recovery of divine power. If Shikoti was placed next to this spring, the problem of rapid consumption of divine power should be solved… He had helped Daxia go undercover in Asgard and opened the Rainbow Bridge for them. With such a great achievement, it should not be difficult for him to borrow this holy spring.
"If I don't have to worry about the consumption of divine power and speed up from morning to night..." Shikoti tilted his head and thought carefully.
"Three months... No, two months will be enough!"
Two months...
Hearing this answer, Lin Qiye's eyes quickly lit up, "Okay! Leave this to me, and I'll trouble you with the rest."
Lin Qiye asked Li Zhenzhen to take care of Shi Koudi and left the courtyard alone. Although he promised Shi Koudi that she didn't need to worry about the issue of divine power, he now had no direct way to contact the Heavenly Court. After hesitating for a moment, he still made a phone call.
A short prompt sounded, and Zuo Qing's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hello? Commander Zuo, I have something to ask..."
…
"Yes, K."
"Yes, 2."
"King bomb!"
An Qingyu flicked the next two cards in his hand onto the table, and smiled at Baili Pangpang and Cao Yuan, whose faces were covered with notes. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Sorry, I won again."
"Tsk, I told you that you can't bring Qingyu to play cards. His calculation ability is too abnormal!" Baili Pangpang threw a handful of cards in his hand on the table and spoke with some annoyance.
"Are you sure it's a computing power issue?" Cao Yuan glanced at Jiang Er, who was floating in the air behind him. "Why do I feel like they have seen through all our cards..."
Jiang Er blinked innocently and turned his head away as if nothing had happened.
Squeak——!
Just as they were chatting, the door of the room opened and Lin Qiye walked in.
"How is it, Qiye? Can Galan wake up?" An Qingyu stood up and asked.
"Okay." Lin Qiye nodded. "I've asked Commander Zuo to contact the Heavenly Court for us. If nothing unexpected happens, Jia Lan will wake up in two months."
Hearing this, everyone's face showed joy.
"So what should we do next? Has Commander Zuo given us a mission?"
“…Not yet.” Lin Qiye seemed to have remembered something, and his expression was a little strange. “I also asked Commander Zuo on the phone, and he told us to stand by… It always feels mysterious.”
"Isn't this a good thing?" Cao Yuan lazily slumped on the sofa, "The Sun City and Northern Europe were destroyed, and Olympus failed in its attack on Daxia a few days ago. It will not make a comeback in the short term. Only the Indian Temple of the Gods is left.
Daxia is very safe now, and war will not break out in the short term. We also have time to enjoy our vacation..."
