“Boss, you should go and have a rest, I will accompany Sister Xue.” Xiaoya looked at Mu You with some distress.
Everyone was guarding Lin Xue, but she could tell that Mu You was also very tired, but he didn't show it.
"All right."
Mu You nodded and did not refuse. Although he used the archive device, it only restored his memory. The fatigue accumulated by his body during the long period of time in the time cage was not so easy to erase. At this time, his fatigue was actually Not much less than Lin Xue.
After staying by the bed for more than half an hour, Lin Xue seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep, her breathing became longer, and the hand holding Mu You gradually relaxed.
Mu You carefully withdrew his hand, covered her with the quilt again, and then quietly exited the room with Linglong.
Regarding Lin Xue's soul trauma, the two of them made wild guesses, but in the end they couldn't reach a conclusion through discussion, so they had to let it go.
"Tell me, what happened during this time? How is the situation in Gao Tian?" When he came to the hall downstairs, Mu You sat down at the dining table, then looked at Linglong and asked.
When he and Linglong were synchronizing their memories just now, he had actually seen some situations, but he was focused on Lin Xue's situation at the time and didn't pay much attention.
“A lot of things have happened this month…”
Linglong went to the refrigerator to get a cup of ice cream, sat down opposite Mu You, and started talking slowly.
Muyou listened patiently to each piece.
His departure was not an ordinary one this time, but he completely lost his whereabouts.
As the most watched person in the entire human world, if the ghost captain only disappeared for a day or two, it would be fine. There was no news for a whole month, which was enough to cause panic among many people.
For a month, the topic about the 'Ghost Captain's whereabouts' has been fermenting on the forum every day. At first, it was just a sporadic discussion, but as time went by, the rumors became more and more outrageous, and the Ghost Captain himself has never been revealed. Stand up and make a voice even once, so more and more players join the discussion camp.
At their home, there are countless visitors looking for them every day.
Fortunately, the two clones are quite reliable. During this period, the herb collector and Ava have been staying in Gaotian to help him deal with the affairs of the City of Order and the City of Auroville.
As for matters and visitors on the earth side, Linglong handles them all.
"Don't worry, our external statement is that you are in retreat in a secret place and cannot come forward for the time being. All matters will be handled by me and the herb collector. We have also refuted some rumors about your whereabouts one by one." Linglong said.
During this period, she relied entirely on her cooperation with the herb collectors and suppressed the pace many times, which stabilized public opinion.
"However, you'd better show your face in the world as soon as possible. Ordinary people are easy to fool, but those powerful masters are not easy to fool. They will send people to visit every now and then to find out. I haven't met the real owner for a month, and now There is actually panic among the major forces," Linglong said.
Mu You can also somewhat imagine the situation of these big forces: in the face of a powerful enemy, he, the 'savior' recognized by many people, suddenly disappeared. Presumably many forces have secretly prepared for the worst. Once Mu You really If the enemy cannot come back, then humanity will almost certainly be defeated, and it must prepare its own escape route in advance.
“Where’s the watchman?” Mu You asked. Dagong and Snake had set out to track the other two beasts before, and had been away for some time.
“There is no news yet.”
Linglong shook her head: "However, something happened on Gao Tian's side, and you need to know about it."
"What's up?"
“Auroville City, Daybreak City, Rising Sun City, and Dusk City, traces of giant sentinels have recently been discovered around these four cities.” Linglong said.
“Oh? Just a sentinel?” Mu You raised an eyebrow.
“Well, there are only sentinels at the moment. We have also sent people to conduct large-scale searches around several cities, but no trace of the giant’s army has been found.”
“However, according to the analysis of military experts from various countries, it is unanimously believed that this is a precursor to a war, and the God-Eating Beast is likely to gather troops around these cities in the near future.”
“The reason why we haven’t taken action yet is because we are still in the intelligence gathering stage. Once we find out our true and falsehoods, we will probably find weak points to suppress..." Linglong said.
Mu You’s face became solemn after hearing this.
The enemy's intention for this action is so obvious that ordinary people like them, not to mention professional military personnel, can clearly smell the beginning of a war.
Furthermore, this time is different from the last battle in the City of Order.
Last time they were in the dark and the enemy was in the open, and they only faced one city of the enemy, but we deployed almost all of our combat power. It was equivalent to a civilization attacking a city of the other side.
In this case, it is still difficult to win when the enemy is careless and does not have much preparation.
After that battle, no matter how slow the God-Eating Beasts were, they should have realized the threat from humans and would no longer underestimate them.
Coupled with the events in the Ring Forest, the power of the God-Eating Beast in the Ring Forest was uprooted by Mu You. At the same time, the savages are likely to join the camp against the God-Eating Beast. These things must have been reported back to the God-Eating Beast headquarters.
Putting these two things together, it is impossible for the God-Eating Beasts not to realize that the Fool has now grown into their number one enemy, even more of a threat than the savages.
Facing such an opponent who has the ability to subvert them, the God-Eating Beast will never hold back this time. Whenever it takes action, it will definitely be a full blow!
In other words, the next time a war starts, it will most likely be a decisive battle between the two sides!
"According to those military experts, with the current strength of the Divine Devouring Beast's sentinels, the war is very likely to start within a quarter." Linglong said solemnly: "And this conclusion is also recognized by Ava, and even according to its According to calculations, the war may start 15-30 days earlier..."
Mu You understood what she meant. They believed in Ava's calculation power more than humans' own emotional judgments. What's more, the prediction results of both sides were almost the same this time, indicating that this war was already a certainty.
“Less than three months…”
Mu You breathed out. It had to be said that time was really tight. Neither he nor the Fool as a whole was ready for a full-scale decisive battle with the God-Eating Beast.
For him, the best pace would be if the decisive battle could be postponed for a few more decades and carried out on the eve of the catastrophe.
It's a pity that this is not a child's play, but a life-and-death race war. When the enemy knows that they are a threat, it is impossible to continue to let them develop. As long as there is an opportunity, they will definitely launch a thunderous strike as quickly as possible to wipe them out. In the bud…
Mu You shook his head. We will talk about this later. Now let’s deal with the problem at hand.
Muyou took out his mobile phone, turned it on, and opened the forum.
The message box of the forum is indeed a red dot with 999+. As soon as the software is opened, tens of thousands of messages come flooding in.
This is the result of him blocking non-friends, and all the people sending messages are people he knows.
Mu You sifted through it and selected some important people to reply to, such as several city lords, members of the Secret Art Association, acquaintances from K City, Lin Hai, Lu Yao, Zhang Yang, etc...
Of course, Mu You, the administrator and Ava, were not left behind either. The cause and effect line passed through and they simply reported peace.
After replying, Mu You specially made a city-wide announcement on the City Lord interface of the City of Dawn as the City Lord, explaining that he had ended his 'retreat' and had now returned.
This show of presence finally calmed down the panic rumors that were boiling.
Some people who were worried about his disappearance also quickly put their thoughts aside.
After processing the forum messages, Mu You had time to log into the game and sort out the results of this trip.
【You have obtained the complete divine power of time. 】
[It has been detected that the main faith already exists. Before giving up the main faith, the divine power cannot spread faith to others, cannot harvest believers, and cannot condense artifacts...]Click on the panel to see that the fusion of the Time Divine Bone has indeed been completed, and it is not an ordinary fusion. , it is a complete inheritance of theocratic power, but it is unable to gather believers.
At this moment, the growth rate of his Seed of Time is the same as that of the Seed of Order, reaching 100%, and the stock of the power of heaven has also increased tenfold!
As for the specific abilities of the Divine Power of Time... Mu You tried it on the spot and found that there are mainly three types.
The first natural state is the realm of cessation.
Now Mu You does not need to turn the top, and can open the limit at any time, and there is no fixed duration. In theory, as long as his spirit does not fluctuate, it can even be maintained forever.
Of course, it is actually impossible not to be mentally unstable.
Unless he simply maintains the stop boundary and does not do any energy-using actions in the stop boundary, such as just taking a walk in the stop boundary and looking at the scenery, then the stop boundary can be maintained for an extremely long time at a time, for days and nights. no problem.
However, once he wants to fight within the limit, whether he uses divine power or magic, it will cause mental fluctuations, and the time to maintain the limit will be greatly reduced, lasting a few minutes at most. Moreover, the more intense the battle, the greater the mental fluctuations will be. Violent, in the face of strong enemies, the stop time will be further shortened.
Of course, the mental stability here should be extended through training. For example, the time he met the first generation leader before, the limit at that time lasted for at least an hour.
The owner of Zhijie, the first generation Shuguang City Lord, seems to be still being hunted by the enemy. It is really a miracle that Zhijie can maintain Zhijie for so long in the battle.
The second ability is the ‘stop shield’, which can temporarily pull other people, objects or energy-based attacks into the stop zone, allowing them to temporarily exempt them from the stop zone rules and operate normally in the stop zone.
The third ability is 'time elimination', which directly erases oneself or the people or objects that one directly touches in the current time. The duration depends on his understanding of the rules of time.
Mu You tried it on the spot, and now he can make an object disappear out of thin air for up to 32 seconds.
These three abilities were all used by Zuoqiu. They are the basic abilities of the Divine Power of Time. However, this does not mean that the Divine Power of Time only has these three abilities. As long as he understands the laws of time deeply enough, he can use these three abilities. With ability as the core, various time-based magical arts are continuously developed and extended.
No wonder the Fairy Queen asked him to consolidate his divine power when he returned before leaving.
The divine power of time he has inherited is, to put it bluntly, only in its most primitive form, equivalent to an uncut jade, with huge room for development.
…
Muyou spent his first day back in such a busy manner.
Over there, Lin Xue slept until dusk, then woke up faintly. After taking a rest, Lin Xue's mental state finally improved and she was no longer so weak.
At this time, Mianmian, who was studying in a nearby primary school, happened to be back with her schoolbag on her back.
Yes, during the month when Mu You was away, the little girl was also encouraged by Linglong to start going to school seriously. After all, it is not a problem for a child to stay at home and sleep all day long.
It is said that the little girl was very noisy for a few days at first and refused to go no matter what. But later she seemed to have made a few friends at school and finally stopped resisting and went to school obediently every day.
But Mu You took the time to look at her schoolbag and found that there was not a single book in it, only a pillow... Mu You was very suspicious of what she was going to school for.
In addition, when Lin Hai received the news from Mu You, he also hurriedly drove over and visited his sister.
Even the herb collectors made a special trip back from the high world after getting the news.
Mu You specially ordered a table of dishes. It was rare for the family to get together, so he wanted to have a reunion dinner.
As a result, the atmosphere at the dinner table today was particularly strange.
"Then...I, let's go back first..."
After a simple meal and drink, seeing the sky getting dark, everyone looked at each other and everyone went back to their homes.
Lin Hai and Mu You said something and left directly.
Xiaoya, on the other hand, yawned and went out with sleepy eyes. She was really tired after taking care of Lin Xue for a day.
The herb collector hurried back to the City of Order, saying that there was still a lot of military affairs waiting for him to deal with there, and he took time out of his busy schedule to come back.
“Be good, sleep with me downstairs tonight.”
Linglong stood up and pulled Mianmian's arm, trying to take her away from the dinner table.
“No, I haven’t eaten yet, and I want to talk to Mu You. I haven’t seen him in a month!” The little girl rebelliously grabbed the corner of the table and refused to move.
Two black lines flashed across the corners of Linglong's eyebrows. Silly girl, could you take a look at the atmosphere?
Helping, for the sake of her own happiness, she had no choice but to whisper in Mianmian's ear.
"The Glowing Masked Superman? Where is it? Take me to see it quickly?" The little girl's eyes lit up, she forgot about Mu You in an instant, and turned around to urge.
Linglong's plan succeeded and she took the little girl out of the door. Before leaving, she didn't forget to look back and secretly gave Mu You a few "come on" winks.
Vivian and Coke, after eating some food, quietly left the scene and entered the backpack space without even saying hello.
At the scene, only Mu You and Lin Xue were left.
"Well…"
Mu You watched as a group of people at the dinner table disappeared in an instant, while the dishes on the table were barely touched, and even half a bowl of Coke cat food was left, with a strange look on his face.
Of course, he actually understood the reason why everyone left in such a hurry.
After Lin Xue woke up, she ate something again and her condition improved significantly. Except that his face is still a little pale, his overall appearance is no different from usual.
But this refers to the outside.
Lin Xue inside seemed to be a completely different person today.
Just now at the dinner table, in full view of everyone, she naturally held Mu You's hand and sat with him.
Then, as if no one else was watching, he picked up the vegetables again and again, brought them to Muyou's mouth, and then smiled and watched him eat, his face became very satisfied...
So Mu You actually understands other people’s moods very well.
It is normal not to eat much. Faced with such a scene at the dinner table, what else do ordinary people eat? I’m full just by looking at it…
Not to mention other people, even Mu You himself was sweating profusely.
This is the legend, as long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
But what was even more bizarre was that he didn't feel it was out of the ordinary, as if this was a daily routine that the two of them had repeated countless times.
Getting back to the subject, it would be fine if Lin Xue just showed some intimacy in front of everyone.
But then when Mu You cleared the dining table, washed up, and prepared to return to the bedroom.
Lin Xue naturally followed him into the room...(End of Chapter)
