Bai Xi was preoccupied with her speculations and barely spoke on the way back to the floating island with the twins.
Gemini didn't dare disturb her thoughts and remained excessively silent the whole way.
At that time, the voice of the world consciousness still echoed in Bai Xi's mind.
'After finding the best barrier master, your next task is to find the best blacksmith, the Dark Serpent Man.'
Inorganic, genderless, and emotionless, the mechanical voice can feel very cold if you listen to it too often. Bai Xi actually dislikes the feeling of the world consciousness giving her orders every time.
Bai Xi didn't want to pay attention to it, so she didn't answer it, but the world consciousness seemed to know that Bai Xi was intentionally hiding something from it, and began to probe it without any disguise.
You'd better give up on your futile efforts.
Its warnings had no effect on Bai Xi. Ever since she learned how to deal with the World Consciousness reading her thoughts, the World Consciousness seemed to have become very anxious. Although she couldn't tell from its voice, Bai Xi knew from its constant urging that it was wary of her.
"You pride yourself on being a master strategist who knows everything, so why are you now worried that I will rebel against you?"
Bai Xi asked with a hint of sarcasm.
The world consciousness paused for a moment before speaking to her.
'If you insist on opposing me, this continent and the people you cherish will suffer, along with you.'
Her voice, flat and seemingly tinged with embarrassment and annoyance, was followed by a slight smirk from Bai Xi before she spoke.
“I am now completely obedient to your orders, I have not violated the contract, and I am not opposing you, am I?”
After she finished speaking, the world consciousness probably didn't know how to refute her. After all, it hadn't discovered her true thoughts and plans, and even if it wanted to judge her, it didn't have a specific reason. In the end, it chose to remain completely silent and stopped arguing with Bai Xi.
Bai Xi could guess what it was up to—most likely trying to find evidence of her rebellion, but alas...
The smile on her lips turned cold. She dug up the chaotic thoughts in her mind, even the old memories, filling every space. In the countless bubbles of thoughts that kept bursting and forming, finding her true purpose was as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Bai Xi originally thought this method was useless, but unfortunately the world consciousness's 'anxiety' revealed that this move was effective against it, so Bai Xi simply continued to use it.
The world consciousness is ultimately not human; it doesn't understand intrigue and trickery, and it's impatient. It can only act according to the rules it has discerned, which is why she discovered the trickery.
During their conversation, Bai Xi had already returned to the floating island with the twins.
In the short time she was gone, just a few days, the structure of the Angel Temple had become much more complete, showing that it was already taking shape and overlapping with the Angel Temple in Bai Xi's memory. However, some details and interior decorations were still missing, and...
The most important faceless angel statue.
Bai Xi looked at the center of the Angel Temple's main hall, raised her hand to look at her palm, and finally lowered her eyes.
She thought she might have guessed how the world's consciousness would ultimately deal with her.
Like a Möbius strip, like an ouroboros, she is an ant trapped on a ribbon, perhaps never able to escape the loop, but...
Unfortunately, she is not an ant. Since she cannot escape this cycle, it is better to directly target the ruler who gazes at her, controls her, and places her on the ribbon.
"Does the Savior require us to build a barrier for this floating island?"
The twins surrounded Bai Xi from the left and right, and they kept exclaiming in amazement. They probably thought the floating island was really spectacular. Even the most powerful beings they knew could not create such a magical scene.
"Yes, I know that it is still difficult for you with your current strength, so before this island is built, you can all work hard to cultivate, and I will provide you with resources."
Bai Xi nodded, speaking in a calm tone that resonated deeply.
Even a clan leader wouldn't dare to make such a boast as providing cultivation resources.
However, Bai Xi always believed in the mentality of "if you don't use it, you might as well use it." Anyway, it wasn't her who would take it. In order to complete the Angel Temple as soon as possible, the world consciousness would definitely provide it on its own initiative, so she didn't need to do anything.
The twins are the two youngest in this group, and their strength is obviously lacking. They are no match for the Mermaid Prince or the Elf King. They can start working now, but these two brothers are not up to the task.
Bai Xi's words startled the two brothers. They exchanged a glance, but still nodded obediently.
"We will all follow the arrangements of the Savior."
Their smiles were synchronized, even the curves were the same. If it were anyone else trying to tell who was the older brother and who was the younger brother, they probably wouldn't be able to tell at all. But perhaps because they had spent so much time together, Bai Xi could tell at a glance who was the older brother and who was the younger brother.
The older brother's smile looked gentler, while the younger brother's was more wicked. Bai Xi could clearly discern the subtle details of the probing and testing hidden deep in their eyes.
Bai Xi could also tell that these two guys weren't entirely willing to work for her; they had other motives, such as... finding it fun, or perhaps wanting to test her background.
Sometimes she really admired the Geminis' courage. Even when their abilities were vastly different, they were still eager to try, just like now.
"It's fine if you're curious about me, or even if you want to know more, you can ask me directly. But don't cause trouble behind my back. I have a lot to do, so don't make things difficult for me."
Bai Xi rubbed her temples and finally said what she hadn't originally planned to say.
This might sound a bit heartless, but it's the best option for the current situation.
Several people nearby were secretly listening to Bai Xi and the twins' conversation, especially El. This time, he pretended to be reserved and did not immediately go to greet Bai Xi after she returned. Instead, he quietly observed her attitude towards the twins. Judging from his current expression, Bai Xi was quite satisfied.
'Harlancel', 'Rosette', and 'Arunta' were also watching. Hearing Bai Xi's blunt words, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Gemini was also stunned by Bai Xi's merciless words, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, her older brother 'Refia' reacted quickly, and immediately changed his expression to one of sincerity, looking at Bai Xi with eyes full of genuine affection.
“We are indeed very curious about the Savior, but it is the Savior’s charm and mystery that attract us and make us want to get closer to you.”
The words were beautifully spoken, and coupled with 'Refia's' handsome and refined face, full of youthful charm, Bai Xi was actually rendered silent for a moment.
