Despite her strong suspicion that she had encountered an imposter, Xu Ling also knew that not just anyone could possess such an imposing aura.
—The aura that made her hesitate was not something an ordinary person could possess.
Moreover, this aura that leaves others far behind is not something He actively releases!
It could be sensed that He had deliberately restrained most of His divine power in preparation for descending to the mortal realm, but even so, some of it still dissipated when He entered Miller's body.
But even that tiny bit of pressure that emanated was enough to terrify Xu Ling!
This is the divine nature possessed by the only true god worshipped in this other world!
Faced with a situation where the enemy was strong and we were weak, Xu Ling didn't want to argue with the God of Light, so she went along with His words and asked, "So... why protect me?"
Two tigers cannot share one mountain, right?
Moreover, she is not a god within the system of the God of Light at all. As the saying goes, those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts!
Logically, shouldn't He have tried everything to nip this accident in the bud?
How did it turn into protecting her?
Perhaps it was because Xu Ling asked the question directly enough that the God of Light was suddenly stunned.
He had never expected Xu Ling to have such a question, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer it.
The main point is that if we really want to explain why He protected her, then we must talk about what He did before.
In fact, for the God of Light, it doesn't matter whether these things are said or not, because no matter what, they were indeed done by Him.
However, the lingering memories in his brain told him that telling Xu Ling these things would most likely anger her...
Not wanting Xu Ling to refuse to help, the God of Light could only remain silent.
He even regretted that he shouldn't have shown himself when Miller couldn't answer Xu Ling's questions!
But then again, if He doesn't show himself, Miller won't be able to answer her question at all, so... will Xu Ling also choose to refuse to help later?
This is truly a dilemma!
The God of Light pursed his lips, mimicking a human's expression, as if his distress had materialized at that moment.
Xu Ling didn't know whether she was distressed or not, after all, she couldn't see anything on that face that was even more expressionless than a sculpture!
However, it was clear to the naked eye that the helplessness in her eyes was even greater than before.
They're not saying anything again!
Looking at the equally silent God of Light, Xu Ling felt somewhat weary.
Why is answering a question so difficult?!
But since she was facing the God of Light, Xu Ling dared not express her anger even if she was inwardly resentful. She patiently asked, "You will understand why I did this, right?"
"Hmm?" The God of Light was taken aback by her sudden question and repeated, "Understand—what?"
"Think about it, I suddenly found myself wearing a necklace without knowing anything about it. Anyone who saw it would investigate its origin! And then, you suddenly appeared!" Xu Ling pointed at the God of Light. "And you said this necklace was to protect me—"
She deliberately dragged out her words.
Seeing that the God of Light was truly listening attentively, she tilted her head deliberately, as if finding it incredibly unbelievable, and asked, "Don't you really find it strange?"
Before the other party could answer, Xu Ling continued, "The sudden appearance of the necklace is one thing, but you are the only god in this world, and you actually descended in person because of this, and told me that this necklace was actually to protect me?!"
Even though she heard those words from His own mouth, Xu Ling was still shocked when she thought about it.
Of course, at this moment, she didn't hide her shock, and her expression even became quite exaggerated!
"Please, since you know my origins, you must also know that we are gods from different systems. In this world, I am an anomaly, right? You don't intend to kill me, but instead want to protect me. Isn't that very strange?"
As she spoke, Xu Ling realized how funny she was talking and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
She herself found it funny, while the God of Light remained even more silent.
His eyelids drooped slightly, concealing the not-so-intense emotions in his eyes.
When no one responded, Xu Ling's smile became awkward, and He finally spoke again: "You are not an anomaly."
"What?" Upon hearing the answer, Xu Ling was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard.
The God of Light raised his eyes, looking at her earnestly, and repeated what he had just said: "You are not an anomaly; people from other worlds have come here before you."
this······
Xu Ling opened her mouth but no sound came out.
She hadn't expected the God of Light to tell her this, but the problem was—that wasn't even the point she made!
She just wanted Him to tell her why she needed to protect her, that's all!!
Now it was Xu Ling's turn to fall silent.
No matter what, she was too embarrassed to interrupt the God of Light at this moment.
However, seeing her silence, the God of Light assumed that Xu Ling was shocked by what He had said. After thinking for a moment, he decided to say more to reassure her.
"In fact, the Chosen Witch is someone from another world."
"Huh?!" Xu Ling's eyes widened suddenly at those words.
However, she soon realized—this explained why, even though there were almost no East Asian faces in the world, when Cersei saw her, she didn't think she looked strange but was instead full of surprise.
only······
"Why are they all East Asian faces?"
Are Westerners not good enough?
This is what Xu Ling is most curious about right now.
You know, in a world full of Western-looking people, an Eastern-looking person still stands out. Logically, shouldn't it be Westerners who come into this world so they don't seem too out of place?
The God of Light naturally understands this principle as well.
In fact, from the very beginning, His choice was Westerners. But for some reason, those Westerners He chose eventually disappeared into the crowd. No matter how strong their abilities were, they would become weaker and weaker the longer they stayed in this world, and eventually they would even forget their past lives.
After discovering that the Westerners were of no use, the God of Light had to turn to another option—that is, He tried to summon the faces of the East.
Of course, the initial candidates were a group of Easterners who believed in Western gods—relatively speaking, they were the easiest to summon.
However, after being summoned, He discovered that the chosen Eastern faces were only slightly better off than the Western faces.
They don't blend in as easily as people with Western features...
