When the other seven gods arrived, they saw Nophiel with his arm around Baixi's shoulder, whispering in her ear, which instantly made many people's eyes red.
Safa arrived from who-knows-where, and a flash of hellfire pierced the air before Nofil deftly dodged it, leaping away from Baixi's side. After all, being burned by hellfire still hurts quite a bit.
Bai Xi had no idea what had happened. She only knew that Nophiel suddenly walked up to her, as if he wanted to tell her a secret, but was suddenly chased away.
She turned around and finally saw the faces she hadn't seen in a long time.
My nose tingled and my eyes welled up with tears.
God knows how desperate she was when she killed them. Luckily, she didn't preserve any hope and didn't let them really leave completely.
"You came back so late, did something happen?"
Saffar's tone was not accusatory, but full of genuine concern. Bai Xi stared at his face for a moment, because she thought of something that was hard to explain.
The primordial demon... I once told her we would meet again, could it be...?
A strange thought swirled in his mind, and his feelings toward Safa became quite complicated.
After all, they really do look alike, except for the succubus's tail and ram's horns.
"nothing."
Bai Xi felt a little guilty for some reason, and turned her head away as if trying to cover it up, saying in an awkward tone.
"?"
Safa looked puzzled. He hadn't expected that after such a long time apart, their reunion wouldn't be like the one he'd imagined, and that Bai Xi's attitude would be so strange.
"It's good that my sister is back. I've been worried about you."
Haransel's nose turned pink after seeing Baixi, and if there hadn't been other gods around, she probably would have shed tears by now.
"Yes, I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm back now."
When Bai Xi's gaze fell upon Harlanser, her expression softened considerably, and her tone became much gentler.
The sorrow of parting can be kept hidden in her heart, since they won't remember it anyway. That's just right, so that not too many people will be sad because of her.
El also came, but he hesitated for a long time when he looked at Baixi, repeatedly wanting to speak but stopping himself. However, looking at the gods around him, he finally shut his mouth.
Some things are better left unsaid in private, not now.
No one knew what she was thinking, but Greysius stared quietly into her eyes, lowered his gaze and pursed his lips. No one could see or understand the emotions hidden in his snake eyes, and Bai Xi just missed it.
The group exchanged pleasantries, and Bai Xi patiently stayed with them until another loud rumbling sound came from outside. The sky was torn open again, and the crack trembled as if trying to devour everything, but was stopped by an invisible force.
That was a protective net set up by the seven gods together. We absolutely cannot let the abyssal rift descend from the sky, or things will become very troublesome.
Normally, when such a calamity occurs, the seven gods should choose someone to deal with it, expending a great deal of divine power to temporarily close the rift. But now...
Bai Xi was speaking when she heard this voice and paused, not continuing. She sighed deeply in her heart, but on the surface, she showed no sign of anything unusual.
She spoke softly to the gods.
"I'm back now, and I want to relieve some of the pressure on you guys. How about I handle this this time?"
I never expected that it would be time to say goodbye so soon.
No one was urging her, but she seemed to sense a call, a cry for help, coming from this world, from the depths of the continent of Coral.
It seemed to be calling out to her, anxiously begging her to save it.
Faced with this situation, even if Bai Xi is calm, she can't pretend not to notice.
The Seven Gods were still secretly plotting who should go, and none of them wanted to leave Bai Xi. But when they suddenly heard her say this, they all hesitated. They knew that Bai Xi was very powerful now and that solving the Abyss Rift should not be a problem, but she had just returned, and Luo Yi said that she seemed to have suffered a strong shock.
The gods hesitated, and Bai Xi simply watched them quietly, without urging them, knowing they would agree eventually.
Sure enough, after a while, Rosette looked into Bai Xi's eyes and said in a helpless tone.
"Do you really have to do it at a time like this? Wouldn't it be better to stay...?"
What he really wanted to say was, 'It's been so long since I've seen you. Now that we've finally met, can you spend a little more time with me?' But as the god of the sea, surrounded by familiar 'colleagues,' he couldn't bring himself to say it.
"I'll be back soon."
Bai Xi responded with a "relaxed" smile and a light tone, as if all she had to do was go out to buy groceries and would be back soon.
"All right....."
The gods looked at each other, knowing they couldn't change Bai Xi's mind and could only compromise. But before leaving, they couldn't help but give him some advice.
“We are in the temple. If you are in danger, we will see you.”
Arunta is telling Baishi that every god can be her support.
"Yes, don't push yourself. You know you're not feeling well right now."
The older brother, Rifia, also showed a serious expression and spoke solemnly. Even though Bai Xi was equally powerful, he still wanted to treat her as a fragile object.
Why don't you believe me?
Bai Xi rubbed his forehead.
"It's as if I'm weak."
When Weaver heard this, she pursed her lips, her arrogance masking her worry.
"But you always try to be strong."
During every period of time I spent with Bai Xi, she was doing things that challenged the limits of life; it would be a miracle if you believed her.
"This time...it won't happen again..."
Bai Xi thought she should have let go of her fate a thousand years ago, but she didn't expect that at the last moment, the mask of composure she was putting on would almost shatter.
In just a moment, she suppressed all her emotions, left a sentence, and turned to fly into the sky decisively.
"If we delay any longer, it will only make things more complicated. We'll talk about the rest when I get back."
She heard a hesitant whisper from behind her.
"You'll come back, won't you?"
He wanted a definite answer, but Bai Xi's figure paused in mid-air. He opened his mouth as if to say something, but in the end, he didn't say a word and silently flew into the sky.
Unbeknownst to them, outside the Temple of Light, a pair of blood-red eyes were watching the figure in the sky grow smaller and smaller without blinking. In an instant, the figure also disappeared from its original spot, and when it reappeared, it had become a black dot not far from Bai Xi, closely following her.
