Chapter 1767: Chapter 962: Gaia Guardian
In the Kane Floating City,
Mr. Stephens wore a plain white robe, his expression peaceful yet solemn.
The Magic Wand [Gaia’s Fury] he held tightly in his hand trembled slightly, as if sensing some imminent change.
As Stephens gently gripped [Gaia’s Fury], a warm and embracing light began to seep out slowly from his body.
This light enveloped him gently, like the glow at the break of dawn.
The light was not dazzling but carried an indescribable sense of holiness.
At the same time, the Magic Wand [Gaia’s Fury] seemed to awaken.
The staff gradually emitted a faint white radiance, a gentle and pure light, merging with the glow surrounding Stephens.
However, this light did not last long before subtle changes began to occur.
Traces of imperceptible dissipation started to mingle with the faint white glow, like morning mist gradually dispersing under the sunlight.
The form of [Gaia’s Fury] started to blur, its edges gradually fading.
Until finally, this once overwhelmingly powerful wand silently disappeared into the air like morning dew.
Lis stood opposite Stephens, his gaze closely following all these changes.
He could clearly sense that as [Gaia’s Fury] dissipated, a unique quality in Stephens, as if one with nature, was gradually weakening until it completely vanished.
Yet, not only did Stephens’ face not show any weakness, but it also revealed an unprecedented ease and relief, as if he had unloaded a heavy burden.
At the moment when [Gaia’s Fury] completely disappeared, the light around Stephens also suddenly converged, settling into calmness.
And at this moment, Lis suddenly felt an inexplicable strength gently brush against his soul.
That strength was warm and gentle, like a mother’s hand caressing a child’s face, giving him an unparalleled sense of security and comfort.
He did not resist but allowed this strength to guide him.
At this moment, Lis felt his soul as if freed from the shackles of the flesh, lightly drifting upward.
A moment later, Lis found himself in a strange space.
This was a space constructed of fantastical colored bands of light, weaving vibrant and colorful tapestries as they freely shuttled through the void.
Here, there was no concept of time, nor boundaries of space, everything seemed so transcendent and unreal.
Nonetheless, Lis recognized this place.
This was precisely the Origin Space of the Gaia World, the most central place of the Gaia World he had once visited.
And once, guided by the World Tree Yggdrasil, Lis had become the World Tree Favored here.
And now, Lis had returned here.
However, this time there was no World Tree Yggdrasil before him.
It seems just as Mr. Stephens had speculated, after he relinquished the identity of [Gaia Guardian], I was then chosen by the Gaia World as the new Guardian.
As Lis examined his surroundings, a faint voice appeared in his mind.
"...Are you... willing to become... the Guardian of the world?"
Lis did not notice anything unusual, but this figure appeared directly in his mind.
However, Lis could feel that this voice carried no malice, only peace and fondness.
Could this be the will of the Gaia Main World?
And faced with such an inquiry, Lis naturally had no reason to refuse.
"I am willing!"
As Lis responded, the voice did not sound again.
However, the surrounding, dreamlike colorful streams of light suddenly became vibrant, as if they were imbued with life.
They no longer flowed quietly but began to leap joyfully, as if holding a grand celebration.
The streams of light circled around Lis, joyfully spinning and dancing around him, as if celebrating some significant and sacred moment.
Is this... celebrating my becoming the Gaia Guardian?
Lis could feel the joy and cheerful emotions emerging from the surrounding space, and he was unconsciously infected by it.
The Origin Space of the Gaia World was welcoming and acknowledging him in its unique way.
He stood there quietly, allowing the colorful lights to surround him, feeling this respect and blessing from the world’s origin.
Gradually, those colorful streams of light no longer just circled around him, but began to tentatively approach, gently touching Lis’s body.
Lis did not feel any pain or discomfort.
On the contrary, he only felt as if these warm currents, like a sweet spring, nourishing every corner of his body, giving him an unparalleled sensation of comfort.
His body seemed to be rejuvenated with a new vigor, with every cell rejoicing, bursting with vibrant life.
But Lis could not help but feel a bit puzzled.
He was sure that what had come here was not his real body, but more likely just his soul.
Why was such a situation occurring?
This made him feel as if his current soul already possessed flesh, powerful and strong.
At the same time, some knowledge appeared before Lis.
Lis sensed this knowledge, all about what needed to be done after becoming the Gaia Guardian given by the Gaia World.
And it was more or less what he had predicted, primarily ensuring the operation of the Gaia World and responding to some threats that might disrupt the Gaia World.
