Great fish, I know you enjoy apples, but who told you I prefer aged vinegar? I actually like this one, Lulu replied, pointing her chopsticks as a willow branch materialized from the border of the divine realm, descending into the mermaid's courtyard, bearing a 10-lb void fish.

The void fish was evidently fresh, still writhing and struggling for life, gradually succumbing.

Swiftly, Lulu worked her magic.

The once whole fish was now transformed into translucent slices, suspended from branch.

Would you care to try? It's sour and refreshing.

Lulu introduced.

The mermaid shook her head repeatedly.

This brought to mind her initial experiences in this divine realm where she had faced the raw void fish sashimi.

Although she felt capable of eating it now, she could not overcome her mental barrier.

Very well, Lulu remarked with a hint of disappointment, not wishing to press further.

To avoid taining the broth, she refrained from boiling it in the hot pot or using chopsticks.

Instead, she grasped the fish slices with her hands and devoured them.

Slurping as she chewed, is truly delicious.

This is a delicacy beloved by both sprites and fairies.

You must realize that in this divine realm, only I, Lady Lulu, can effortlessly capture such rare ingredients.

The mermaid nodded in acknowledgement.

I understand.

I understand.

After some time, the table began to clear.

Lulu had consumed a considerable amount of ghost head mushrooms and was feeling a bit exhilarated.

She inquired, "Oranki, upon awakening from this slumber, why does this divine realm seem so peculiar? There are far fewer familiar sprites and instead numerous tiny sprite offspring are laboring everywhere.

Everyone has gone to participate in the divine battle and undertake quests.

" Or ranky replied, "When shall the divine being return?" Chapter 222.

The Enchanted Player Part Three I find myself in a state of uncertainty.

In the heart of the ocean, wisps of smoke gently ascend.

A willow tree spirit and a mermaid indulge in merment and conversation, eventually succumbing to slumber upon a wooden plank.

The fragrant aroma nearly captivates the moon.

On the lunar surface, the moon's spirit sneezes, brushing against her insignia, eagerly anticipating the arrival of new quests.

Yet inexplicably, she had accepted but one mission, and thereafter, none followed.

The thought of savoring a dectable dish makes her swallow hard.

Beneath the moonlight, the sea lies tranquil, its surface shimmering with the moon's radiance.

The coals in the hearth gradually extinguish, and the fish soup within the pot cools slowly.

The sound of raindrops pattering fills the air as silence envelopes the divine realm.

Willow rests serenely on a branch, seemingly lost in delightful dreams, even drooling as she murmurss about deliciousness.

The mermaid, however, recines on a sofa below, enveloping soft knitted fabric.

Yet her slumber is restless, her eyelids furrowing as if disturbed.

After a considerable interval, the mermaid awakens abruptly, sitting upright with a dazed expression.

She had dreamt of a deity calling her, imparting a message of apparent significance.

Rubbing her head in an attempt to recall the details, she finds herself at a loss.

A few gentle taps to her forehead yield nothing but discomfort.

Instinctively, she senses the weight of importance in this matter.

Wobbling slightly, the mermaid swims outside.

Where the rain falls upon her, soothingly damp.

She observes Willow, who remains undisturbed by the raindrops that splatter against her face.

Approaching, the mermaid gently prods Willow- s face.

"Willow, wake up.

I have something important to discuss with you," she implores.

Meanwhile, Suzy Han informs the systems deity.

"I am nearing the end of my current endeavor and will require a few days of rest.

Please refrain from signing coordinates.

" She expresses her grievances.

"The deity you dispatched has not performed particularly well.

Your efforts are duly noted, dear one.

The deity Hong will remember your contributions and reward you accordingly.

Swiftly, Suzie Han receives a response from the system.

For several months, she has traversed the divine realms of various players on Blue Star, engaged in rescue operations.

She discovers that the recent lull in the external deities aggression was not due to a cessation of invasions, but rather a strategic shift.

Previously, these external deities employed a mode of divine warfare, implanting tainted seeds into their followers through abyssal entities to enhance their power and malevolence for incursions into the divine realms of blue star.

Now, it appears that the external deities have resorted to directly channeling abyssal beings or luring players to descend into the abyss and transform into malevolent entities.

This new approach ass issues direct infection and invasion tactics.

In contrast to the previous strategies, this method is far more insidious and destructive.

Should an abyssal outbreak occur, players would find themselves unable to seek aid from the system s deity in time.

This phenomenon occurs because when the abyss erupts, the blue star assistant automatically severs its connection with the supreme deity of the system, thereby preventing contamination of the supreme deity, effectively cutting off the signal.

This duality presents both advantages and disadvantages.

The benefit lies in safeguarding the supreme deity from corruption.

While the detriment manifests in a significantly elevated casualty rate among players during this period, Sue Xihon has been preoccupied with this endeavor, delving into the coordinates of various missing players divine realms as provided by the system.

However, she frequently confronts the reality of the abyss's comprehensive invasion, seldom managing to rescue more than a handful of blue star players.

Occasionally, a swift arrival might occur.

Yet, she notices that those saved players have to varying degrees succumb to madness instigated by the abyss.

The emotional states of these disturbed individuals fluctuate between 20 and 50.

While not entirely deranged, they are perilously close.

Their behaviors exhibit two extremes.

One group becomes profoundly reclusive, hiding away and refraining from speech, embodying social anxiety and a fear of strangers.

The other group erupts into a chaotic display of social terror, rambling incoherently.

Such players may not perish immediately.

Rather, they require careful nurturing until their emotional states stabilize or they may persist in this condition, potentially deteriorating further until they reach a state of complete madness.

with emotional values plummeting to zero.

Aside from her, the operation involves several avatars of Chi-Chi and a deity known as Yong Jun.

It is said that this deity possesses considerable resistance to the abyss, hence their assignment to this mission.

However, Suzi Han finds Yong Jun rather unreliable despite being a deity.

He can only manage minor incidents of the abyss's incomplete emergence.

In more challenging situations, he often seeks her assistance, necessitating her to repeat her efforts.

For months, she has been deprived of restful sleep, ceaselessly engaged in her tasks.

Stifling Yan, Suzi Han appeared to be somewhat fatigued.

She observed her emotional value, which had remained at a notably elevated level for an extended period without significant decline.

From her personal space, she extracted a cup of coffee, consuming it in a hurried manner, treating it as a ritual of solace, emphasizing the comfort derived from the act rather than its efficacy.

Upon opening the portal, a blinding light erupted forth, nearly overwhelming Suzie Han's bright peach blossom eyes.

After a brief moment of adjustment, she acclimated to the scene before her.

A sea of flames unfurled with molten lava cascading.

A female blue star deity sat upon a throne within a temple, incessantly murmuring something under her breath.

She appeared somewhat emaciated, her long crimson hair seemingly parched.

As she waved a crystal ball in her hand, she repeatedly uttered certain phrases resembling a vengeful spirit lost in her own realm.

As Suzi Han approached, her expression shifted upon discerning the words of the female deity, becoming increasingly difficult to articulate.

The female deity continued her incantation, expressing, "Chapter 223.

Rescuing.

Should I inform the systems deity or should I utilize this crystal orb?" She muttered incessantly.

Suzi Han approached swiftly.

However, the female deity remained oblivious to her presence.

This was her divine realm.

Yet she appeared to have relinquished all awareness of the outside world, lost in her own contemplations.
