"Who...is this guy?"
Hu Tao looked at the petite figure and asked in confusion.
"I don't know..." Gan Yu was also at a loss.
"It seems... to be an unknown demon god..." said True Lord Huihuan Shumeng slowly.
“Demon…God…” Hu Tao was startled, then looked nervously at Jiang Mu.
"Then he..."
"Don't worry..." True Lord of the Illusory Book of Dreams chuckled.
"Just keep watching..."
“Oh…” The two nodded and continued looking at the light screen…
………………
"here it is……"
"Jiang Mu" opened his eyes blankly and asked in confusion.
"Yo ho!"
Suddenly, a voice beside him startled him.
"As you can see, you are dead."
"Who!" Jiang Mu exclaimed in surprise, "Who's there?"
"..."
For a while, the sound didn't reappear, and then...
"Lower your head!"
A voice filled with embarrassment and annoyance rang out.
Jiang Mu lowered his head as instructed, only to see a small figure looking up at him with a huff.
"Well……"
Jiang Mu was stunned for a moment, then, on a whim, he reached out and tucked the latter under his armpits, raising him to eye level...
"Who are you...?"
"You, you, you..." The little girl was both angry and annoyed. She shook off "Jiang Mu's" hand and returned to her throne.
"You rude fellow!"
After calming herself down, the little girl spoke to "Jiang Mu".
"I am a deity, show me some respect!"
"oh."
"Jiang Mu" nodded blankly and replied.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Um……"
"The deity" nodded in satisfaction. He then addressed the still bewildered "Jiang Mu."
"It is with great regret that I must tell you that you died in your previous world."
"The previous...world..."
Jiang Mu still looked completely bewildered.
"well--"
"My Lord God," he sighed and said.
"Since I find you pleasing to the eye, I'll grant you a chance to be resurrected. However, I will only transport you to another parallel universe; you won't be able to survive in your original world. Is that alright?"
“If I refuse…” Jiang Mu raised his head and looked directly at the high and mighty “God” and said.
"what happens?"
"It's very simple..."
"My Lord God" picked at his nails, looked at "Jiang Mu," and said with a grin.
"You're really dead..."
"Do I even have a choice?"
“Hmm…” “The Deity” tilted his head and said.
"Looks like there aren't any left...hehe..."
“Then I choose to reincarnate…” Jiang Mu had no choice but to say.
"good!"
"My Lord God," he clapped his hands and continued.
"I will grant you an ability, what you call a cheat code, or a power-up, so that you will have some means to protect yourself..."
"Self-preservation?"
"Jiang Mu" asked in confusion.
"Could it be... that the world I'm going to is... very dangerous?"
"Yes," the deity nodded, "We can't just let you die as soon as you get there..."
“Thank you…” Jiang Mu rolled his eyes.
"Well then, have a safe trip!"
"The deity" waved his hand, and a portal suddenly appeared behind "Jiang Mu." A terrifying suction force emanated from it, and "Jiang Mu," caught off guard, was directly sucked in...
"oops!"
Only after "Jiang Mu" disappeared did "the deity" suddenly remember.
"Did I... forget to tell him what his cheat ability is...?"
"Never mind, never mind..."
The "deity" immediately forgot about it.
"Let me see what kind of dazzling sparks your soul will ignite..."
"Don't let me down..."
………………
"this……"
The group looked at each other and gave a wry smile.
"I never expected that Xiao Mu would encounter such an unreliable demon god..." Gan Yu said with a wry smile.
"However..." True Monarch Huihuan Shumen said with a faint smile.
"Although unreliable, this demon god is still kind enough to give him a second chance..."
"It's not over yet..."
Hu Tao was startled and pointed at the light screen.
"It seems that this little guy's story is far more complicated than we imagined..."
The True Lord of Illusory Dreams slowly narrowed his eyes...
………………
The images on the light screen slowly changed again, and the next scene showed a luxurious bedroom...
"This is our son..."
A handsome middle-aged man, holding a baby in his arms, smiled at the woman on the bed.
"Our...child..."
The woman on the bed was pale, but she still carefully took the child from the man's arms and looked at him with affection.
"The child looks a lot like you," the man said with a smile, rubbing his eyes.
"Yes..." The woman held the still-sleeping baby and smiled sweetly.
"Xian'er," the man said excitedly, "once you recover, let's travel together with our child, what do you say?"
“Okay…” Upon hearing this, a happy smile bloomed on the woman’s face.
"But, honey, I know my own body, you..."
"Even for the sake of our children, you must hold on!"
The man sat down next to the woman, put his arm around her shoulder, and said firmly.
"knew……"
The woman smiled, but a hint of undisguised melancholy flashed across her face...
………………
"This is... Xiaomu's second home?"
Gan Yu murmured.
“They look very happy…” Hu Tao added.
The Dream-Painting Master did not speak, but simply waved his sleeve, and the image on the light screen changed again...
………………
"Mom, look!"
Jiang Mu held up his certificate of merit and smiled at the woman.
"That's really good..."
The woman no longer had the sickly air she once had; her face was now rosy and healthy. She took the certificate from Xiao Jiangmu, patted his head, and praised him.
"He truly is my son..."
As the two were talking, the doorknob was turned a few times, and a familiar voice came from inside.
"Wife, son, I'm home."
"husband!"
"dad!"
The man who had just entered smiled slightly as he watched the two people running towards him.
"Kid, you've grown taller again, hahaha..."
"That's right!" Xiao Jiangmu proudly put his hands on his hips, but his gaze toward his father held a hint of scrutiny.
"Dad, you were away on a business trip for so long, did you bring me any gifts?"
"Of course!"
The man took out a cardboard box from behind his back.
"This is a gift from my partner, Bishop Otto of Destiny. It's a model of the latest Sub-God developed by Destiny. What do you think? Pretty cool, right?"
"Um!"
Xiao Jiangmu nodded excitedly.
"Give it to me now! Give it to me now!"
"Haha..." The man held the cardboard box above his head, "If you can get it, I'll give it to you..."
"Mom, Dad is bullying me!" the boy cried out.
"husband……"
"Yes, yes, wife, I was wrong, I was wrong..."
The woman's scolding and the man's pleas for mercy echoed throughout the room...
This home feels especially warm and cozy today...
