Chapter 445 Crossing Time
Di Tian did not hide any of his actions within the organization from Gu Yuena, and he did not even conceal the fact that he deliberately made Xiong Jun and other kings forget about Ye Nanxiao's existence. He truthfully told Gu Yuena about his plans and intentions in his report.
Gu Yuena didn't react much because Ye Nanxiao had told her long ago that his existence had to be forgotten, or even forgotten.
Because Ye Nanxiao is not from this era, if the organization remembers that there was once such a strategist leading the way, then in later generations, it might have evolved into the plot of Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
After careful consideration, Gu Yuena agreed to Ye Nanxiao's request to have the organization forget her.
In Gu Yuena's mind, Ye Nanxiao was, after all, a deity, and ultimately could not have too much contact with them, the soul beasts. It would be better for both sides if he were gradually forgotten.
However, Gu Yuena would not choose to forget Ye Nanxiao's existence.
With Gu Yuena's consent, Di Tian secretly orchestrated numerous actions to ensure that the three kings in the know, in conjunction with the Forget-Me-Not Powder specially prepared by the Demon King, would forget the strategist who had once fought alongside them.
Even the Demon King himself obediently took the Forget-Worry Powder, without doing anything wrong.
To it, Ye Nanxiao was like a nightmare that could see right through you. It couldn't wait to forget Ye Nanxiao so as not to scare itself every day.
The demon spirit was an exception. He gave a reason for not taking the Forget-Me-Not Powder: all his skills came from Ye Nanxiao. If he forgot Ye Nanxiao, he might forget all his skills.
After hearing the demon spirit's reasons, Di Tian only thought for a few minutes before agreeing that the demon spirit should not take the Forget-Me-Not Powder.
The demon spirit, now in its early stages of development, plays a crucial role in his soul beast organization. Given the demon spirit's future role as his right-hand man, with him overseeing it and considering the demon spirit's loyalty to Gu Yuena, no unexpected incidents are likely to occur.
The demon spirit didn't take the Forget-Me-Not Powder simply because it didn't want to forget Ye Nanxiao; it had no other purpose.
He didn't have many friends, but Ye Nanxiao was both his teacher and friend, so he defied Di Tian's orders for the first time.
Fortunately, the reason given by the demon spirit made Di Tian feel that there was nothing wrong with it.
As one of the few spirits in the Soul Beast Organization besides Di Tian who still remembered Ye Nanxiao's existence, Ye Nanxiao, under Di Tian's instruction, launched a conquest of the remaining forests on the continent in the name of Shadow Immortal.
Ye Nanxiao, after leaving the cave to retrieve metal materials once before the demon spirits set out on their expedition, never left the cave again.
With the demon spirits gone on their expedition, Ye Nanxiao would have no one to command within the core circle of the Star Dou constellation.
Although he could directly apply to Gu Yuena for research funding and materials, the last batch of metal materials he received was enough for Ye Nanxiao to use for a long time, not to mention that he also needed to take time to teach Na'er.
Incidentally, Ye Nanxiao had drawn up all the blueprints and made plans for his experiments from the beginning. However, in the end, the final product on the blueprints was not completed. Instead, the toys used to coax Na'er were all sorts of different kinds.
Ye Nanxiao's daily work consists of only four things: carving stones to record time, teaching Na'er, researching soul-guided artifacts, and telling stories to lull Na'er to sleep.
Cultivation transcends years; time flows by unnoticed.
"Strategist, strategist, why is it that even though Reimu is incredibly strong, she's always thinking about her money box?" Na'er asked, sitting on the small bed Ye Nanxiao had made for her without any regard for her image.
Ye Nanxiao floated in the air, turned around leisurely, and said, "Little Na'er, you should know that even a hero can be brought down by a penny. Although Lingmeng the Little Witch is very strong, she cannot take the initiative to challenge the rules."
"But Reimu created the rules." Naru clenched her little fist.
Ye Nanxiao reached out and pressed his hand against Na'er's fair forehead, rubbing it gently, and said, "Rules are meant to be followed, not broken at will. If rules are made only to be broken, then the meaning of the rules themselves is meaningless."
"And Little Na'er, you're only saying this because you think the Reimu I drew is pretty, right?"
Na'er shook her head and said, "No! It's because Reimu is naturally beautiful. Her beauty caught my attention!"
"You little face-obsessed rascal!" Ye Nanxiao flicked Na'er's forehead. "That's all for tonight's story! Go to sleep!"
Naru's eyes lit up, and she said sweetly, "But I want to hear the final ending for Reimu and Marisa! Tell me before you go to sleep!"
Ye Nanxiao spun around in mid-air and uttered two words: "No way!"
After refusing Na'er's request for more stories before bed, Ye Nanxiao drifted to his corner of the research room.
The two rows of cabinets were filled with all sorts of toys, except for a few soul tools in the innermost corner.
Ye Nanxiao carefully took out his soul tool to make sure he hadn't knocked over Na'er's toys.
Ye Nanxiao has already studied most of the antique soul tools he collected from the mainland. All that's left is to take them out every day, hold them in his hands, and see if he has any new ideas.
There was indeed too much time involved, so much so that every single soul tool was assembled and disassembled repeatedly.
"If a watch can fire tranquilizer darts, could it also fire miniature missiles?"
Ye Nanxiao sat cross-legged on the ground, holding several soul tools, staring blankly at the soul tools in his hands.
Over time, he found that he seemed to no longer need to sleep, and could stare blankly until dawn.
"If I didn't know you were daydreaming, I would have thought you had passed away."
A figure bathed in a faint silver light walked over.
The floating silver specks snapped Ye Nanxiao out of his daze, and he turned to look at Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena sat down next to Ye Nanxiao and said, "If it were the old me, I probably wouldn't have been able to sit here with you."
"Boss, just say what you want to say. Stop acting all coy like a girl," Ye Nanxiao said with a grin.
Gu Yuena looked at Ye Nanxiao, sighed, and said, "Let me get straight to the point, your time is coming soon."
The cave suddenly fell silent, as quiet as a piece of cheese.
Ye Nanxiao's hand, which was disassembling the soul tool, suddenly paused. Why did that sentence sound so strange?
"Boss, does this mean the day I've been waiting for is almost here?" Ye Nanxiao said, both amused and exasperated.
Gu Yuena blushed slightly and nodded. "The day you've been waiting for is almost here."
My gaze fell upon a large pile of stones in the corner, stones covered with marks.
Following Gu Yuena's gaze to his timer, Ye Nanxiao saw a dense array of scratches piled up, and he knew without counting how many scratches were on it.
Each scratch represents his hope of returning home.
Silence fell once again.
Ye Nanxiao looked around. Every corner of the cave was filled with furniture he had made himself, and every corner bore his mark.
I glanced around and took in all the scenery of the cave.
"Boss, are you ready?" Ye Nanxiao asked, looking down as he continued to fiddle with the soul tool in his hand.
"Do you want to say goodbye to Na'er in three days?" Gu Yuena asked.
"Let's say goodbye. It would be too much to leave without saying goodbye," Ye Nanxiao said, standing up and gently placing the soul tool into the corner of the wooden cabinet.
Looking at Ye Nanxiao carefully arranging Na'er's toys, Gu Yuena felt a pang of reluctance.
This hint of reluctance made Gu Yuena subconsciously ask, "After we go back, will you still remember me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Nanxiao and Gu Yuena were both stunned.
The former was surprised that his boss would say such a thing, while the latter simply didn't understand why he had spoken his own thoughts out loud.
Gu Yuena blushed slightly and was about to explain when she saw Ye Nanxiao give her a thumbs-up and say with a bright smile, "Of course I'll miss the boss! You're such a big shot!"
Longing probably wouldn't keep up with his journey home. Ye Nanxiao finally realized that when he was trapped in the "Light of Time and Space," a Gu Yuena appeared beside him, speaking in a nostalgic tone, using Blue Star words whose meaning only he understood.
"Boss, do you remember the story series I told you about, which I called the Kree Mythology?" Ye Nanxiao asked.
Gu Yuena nodded. "Of course I remember. I remember all the stories you told me. If one day I recover from the hidden injuries of my body and fulfill my father's wish, I plan to travel freely through the void and search for the divine beasts you mentioned."
Ye Nanxiao smiled and said, "Boss, the reason why myths are myths is because later generations have added too many expectations to them, and over time they become myths."
"The role of mythology was to help people break through mental barriers and push the limits of their will, and also to allow them to gain psychological satisfaction from the stories they created."
"If you pursue it too much, it can sometimes backfire."
Listening to Ye Nanxiao's long-winded speech, Gu Yuena covered her ears, indicating that she wouldn't listen; she wouldn't listen to a bastard's rambling.
"Hehe, the boss fouled!" Ye Nanxiao's smile never stopped, trying to dispel the sadness and sorrow of parting in his heart.
Gu Yuena, with her ears covered, cheeks puffed out, and big eyes staring at herself, is really beautiful.
"The strategist has turned bad; he's not like he was when I first met him."
"May I ask, boss, what was your first thought when you first saw me?"
"What a weak soul!"
The two chatted idly, neither of them mentioning Ye Nanxiao's impending departure.
Dawn arrived quickly, and Ye Nanxiao, as usual, soaked in the Lake of Life. Two days later, he would need to cross the clouds of time to find his own time, at which point the mission of this Spirit-Blooming Grass would come to an end.
Endless life energy surged into the Spirit Blossom Grass, nourishing and strengthening Ye Nanxiao's soul, preparing him for crossing realms.
Two days later, a barrier quietly enveloped the Lake of Life, and a portal to time and space was summoned by Gu Yuena.
Ye Nanxiao turned back and took a deep look at Gu Yuena and Na'er before stepping into the portal of time and space.
"Fox, go home."
