Chapter 1542: Chapter 1187: Not Here Either? _2
"Hey! Calm down!"
Long Yi shouted, accompanied by the strong expulsion effect of Divine Power. Yahola was taken aback and actually fainted on the spot.
However, before he fainted, Long Yi decisively captured a trace of fluctuation passing through the air.
That was the fluctuation of worms!
Even though it was just a trace, it was enough to delight Long Yi because, with this fluctuation, he successfully deciphered the information within.
The origin of this fluctuation was unknown, but it was sent to all worms. Every worm was forcibly commanded to search for their worm nest, and upon following the command, the fluctuation would disappear. If they defied the command, the fluctuation would intensify, forcefully inserting itself into consciousness.
"Hey! Wake up!" Long Yi used Divine Power to restore Yahola’s body and spirit, and Yahola who lay on the ground came to.
"Are you, Long Yi?" Yahola’s gaze was still somewhat vacant.
"Yes, I am Long Yi. Can you tell me what’s going on?" the worm fluctuation was still trapped within the Divine Power in Long Yi’s hand.
"I, I don’t know; it suddenly appeared deep in my consciousness, just out of nowhere. But now I am no longer a worm, so I refused to obey the command, and it kept trying to rewrite my consciousness forcefully. I had to resist it all the time, and for the past month, I have been tormented; I even considered just ending it all," Yahola said with lingering fear.
"Why did you refuse the command? Wouldn’t it be easier to just find the nest as told?" Long Yi was puzzled; why suffer so much?
"Because this command would forcibly erase all my memories," Yahola said.
I see.
Yahola had chosen to merge with a human due to inadvertently possessing memories of guilt towards a god, and he now had countless riches to squander. Once he lost his memories, all these things that originally belonged to him would naturally vanish without a trace.
"So, what do you know about this worm nest?" Long Yi pulled Yahola off the ground and asked directly.
"I know that the worm nest is incredibly precious to any worm, having a worm nest is like having everything. But beyond that, I might know just a little bit more than any other worm," Yahola said.
"Come on, tell me that little bit," Long Yi said with a smile.
"The worm nest belongs to our creator, the Worm God," Yahola said.
"Oh? And then?" Long Yi’s interest was immediately piqued. Clearly, the origin of a worm nest holding such high stature meant it was not something ordinary worms could compare to.
"That’s it," Yahola said.
"Hey, are you playing with me?" Long Yi frowned.
"No, I’m not. That’s really all I know; you can scan my memories directly with magic if you don’t believe me. After all, I’m no longer a worm, and the worm nest means nothing to me," Yahola said.
"Alright, it really is just a little bit, huh," Long Yi searched Yahola’s memories without any reservations; it was indeed the case.
"Yes, as I’ve said, just a little bit more," Yahola said.
"Well then, it seems I must pay a visit to my friend who is in hiding," Long Yi said.
This ’friend in hiding’ was, without a doubt, the true god, Simu.
Ever since Simu had recovered most of her memories, she had left Long Yi’s group and concealed herself at the site of the almighty creation machine. This place was originally commissioned by her for the Giant to build, used for creating life. It was here that Crystal Poison was born, as was the race of The Forgotten Ones. When Long Yi decided to go to the upper Planes, Simu opted to stay here.
As a true god, Long Yi did not believe that Simu could ignore the changes in this Plane.
Finding the all-powerful manufacturing machine, a Genesis Artifact with such an unsophisticated name, used to be difficult, but after visiting it once, Long Yi had obtained administrator access, so now he could easily detect its presence from a special plane.
And in the same place, there was also the true god Simu.
Originally, Long Yi had thought this place would be deserted, but upon arrival, he found it was surprisingly bustling. It turned out the Forgotten Ones, who had been frozen in time here, were awakened by Simu, who gave them healthier bodies to help her maintain the operation of this place. Having the chance to assist the Creator God, this group of the Forgotten were very excited and named themselves God’s Chosen, meaning those favored by God. Of course, Long Yi was not interested in this, for he needed to find Simu; he needed to understand everything about the Nest of Worms.
Long Yi had the highest access here, even higher than a god, so he was free to come and go as he pleased. When he casually arrived at the core area, a group of God’s Chosen blocked his way.
"Who are you! How dare you intrude upon the Creator God’s territory!" the leader shouted loudly.
"I am Long Yi, and I have extremely important matters to discuss with the Creator God!" Long Yi shouted back. According to his estimate, his arrival here should have already caught Simu’s attention. So why hadn’t Simu appeared yet?
"Long Yi? Who is that? We don’t know you! I only know that if you don’t leave this place immediately, you will turn to ashes!" the leader still shouted loudly.
"Simu! Where are you? I don’t have time for hide and seek!" Long Yi was getting impatient. Although he was moved by the fate of the Forgotten Ones’ tribe, this did not mean he would tolerate everything from them.
"Sentinels! Kill the intruder!" the leading God’s Chosen shouted. Instantly, several golden spheres appeared out of thin air, circled around Long Yi, then vanished. What a joke, Long Yi was the administrator, and a god was merely a high-level user; how could the Sentinels possibly attack the administrator?
Seeing the Sentinels ineffective, the surrounding God’s Chosen immediately panicked. The leader quickly assumed a resigned-to-die attitude: "We must not let any outsiders harm our god! Brothers! Burn your life and fighting spirit! We’re going all out against him!"
Long Yi felt like laughing, but seeing how serious they were, he felt too embarrassed to laugh out loud. Just then, an Array sprang up from the ground, and Simu appeared from within it.
"Eh? Long Yi? It really is you!" Simu exclaimed with surprise.
"Oh my, where is your Divine Status?" Long Yi’s eyes widened instantly.
Yes, at this moment, Simu was indistinguishable from an ordinary Human; she had no Divine Power, no Divine Status!
"Heh, you don’t know yet, I did an experiment and turned myself completely into an ordinary person," Simu said.
"When did this happen?"
"Just after you left the middle plane."
"You really are too reckless; others are desperately fighting for Divine Status, yet you turned yourself into a normal person. If those Divine Status hunters from before knew about this, they would surely die of anger," Long Yi said.
"Ha, whether they would die of anger, I don’t know. I just know there is one guy who would certainly be very happy!" Simu’s face carried a hint of sweetness.
Obviously, that guy must be referring to Wesley. After all, Simu and Wesley were actually married as husband and wife, but because Simu was a Divine Envoy at that time, and Wesley was just an ordinary person, their union had no future. Now that Simu had become human, things were different.
"Alright, we can discuss this matter later. Right now I have a few questions I want to ask you," Long Yi said, not wanting to get tangled up in this matter.
"Speak," Simu nodded and then signaled the God’s Chosen to not be nervous.
The God’s Chosen, who were about to fight desperately, realized that Long Yi was indeed an acquaintance of their god, and their expressions immediately relaxed. They started busying themselves with preparations to entertain their guest.
"Do you know about the Nest of Worms?" Long Yi asked.
"The Nest of Worms? Do you mean, the Worm’s Nest?" Simu inquired.
"Yes, that’s the thing."
"Yes, I know, the god of the Worms was originally born within the Nest of Worms," Simu said.
"Tell me everything you know."
