After work, start to speedrun the other world-Chapter 430 - 163: Bullying Males Will Be More Thrilling

"..." Xi Mu propped his hands on the railing, gazing down at the scenery below the Tower of Life, and asked in a relaxed tone,

"Do the Three Goddesses of Fate want to see me to get back the eyeball that Teacher took?"

It was a logical guess. His teacher Hecate had collaborated with the Creation Witch to steal an eyeball from the Goddess of the Past. Now they probably wanted to negotiate through him with the Destiny Witch to reclaim the stolen eyeball—a perfectly normal affair.

"Perhaps that’s part of the reason." The Goddess of Life nodded slightly, then pursed her lips with a faint smile, "After the Goddess of the Past had her eye taken, she cried and made a fuss for quite some time."

"Cried and made a fuss?" Xi Mu’s expression was subtle, "It’s really hard to picture. I thought the Three Goddesses of Fate would be very mature and composed."

"Crying and making a fuss doesn’t mean they’re immature," the Goddess of Life said, shaking her head gently. "Everyone has a childish side, even gods are no exception."

She chuckled as she looked at Ahtal.

"Just like how you intentionally laugh maniacally in battle and purposely use the Flames of a Thousand Deaths to blacken yourself."

Xi Mu suddenly fell silent, then abruptly changed the topic, "When shall I meet the Three Goddesses of Fate?"

As a player, wanting to stand out was a natural thing to do, like running around the world wearing only underwear and a helmet—something he had tried himself and never cared about what others thought.

After all, it wasn’t for the NPCs in the game to see.

However, fighting while wearing only underwear and a helmet could hinder his favorability with the NPCs, so he dressed like a person should.

"Wait a few days," the Goddess of Life explained, "The Three Goddesses of Fate are attempting to find the seal of the God of Omniscience and do not have the time to meet with you right now."

"Is it okay to tell me such important information directly?" Xi Mu frowned, not quite understanding why the Goddess of Life would so openly share such critical information.

The Goddess of Life shook her head gently to explain, "Sometimes the way to find a treasure isn’t to search every inch of land but to make the one hiding the treasure feel insecure and check the hiding place themselves."

"Is that so?" Xi Mu chuckled, "I don’t think the Witch of Death will check the seal of the God of Omniscience just to ensure safety."

"Then we can only search slowly." The Goddess of Life’s face revealed a trace of a smile, "This is the first time they’re truly managing the gods of the high heavens."

"Aren’t you afraid that the Witch will subvert the rule of the All Gods while searching for the God of Omniscience?" Xi Mu asked, only to see the Goddess of Life shake her head gently, clearly not worried about the witches’ intentions to vie for control of the world.

What she really cared about now was the imminent Ragnarok.

"They are working hard to find the God of Omniscience," the Goddess of Life said to clarify, without going into detail about what the Three Goddesses of Fate were thinking.

As for whether to unseal the God of Omniscience, there were indeed differing thoughts among the gods of the high heavens—if the God of Omniscience did not exist, whether someone else could take its place.

This difficult-to-discuss idea lingered in the hearts of the mightiest gods, which meant the search for the seal of the God of Omniscience would be delayed, until the situation became irreversible, then they would think of unsealing the God of Omniscience quickly to let it wrap up all the trouble.

And now was the time when the gods began to realize they could not tie up all the loose ends themselves and started to search earnestly for the seal of the God of Omniscience.

Otherwise, relegating it further might lead to the world being consumed by the descending Ragnarok within a decade.

At that point, all ambitions and power struggles would be meaningless.

"Since they will only meet me in a few days," Xi Mu tugged at the corner of his mouth, "why summon me to the high heavens now?"

"Perhaps it’s because I haven’t had the chance to properly be with you," the Goddess of Life said, lifting her hand to ruffle Ahtal’s hair, her beautiful face breaking into a gentle smile, "We might not have the opportunity to have a good chat in the future."

Xi Mu asked bluntly, "Is it because of Ragnarok?"

"Yes," the Goddess of Life said with a gentle smile, her slender hand vigorously ruffling Ahtal’s hair, "If I don’t take the chance to meet you now, there might never be an opportunity to meet in person again."

Xi Mu said in surprise, "You seem unexpectedly accepting of the coming of Ragnarok?"

The existence of Ragnarok was the greatest nightmare for all the gods, many of whom felt terror at the thought. It signified the real end for gods who could see no end to their lifespans.

Ragnarok was the most terrifying thing to them.

"What’s the use of crying and making a fuss?" the Goddess of Life said amusingly, retracting her hand from patting Ahtal’s head, "Besides, crying and fussing won’t delay the arrival of Ragnarok."

"I can’t imagine you crying or fussing either," Xi Mu said, his gaze unintentionally dwelling on the Goddess of Life’s full figure—such a mature, motherly goddess would be too out of place making a fuss.

Back in a previous cycle, he had personally burned the Goddess of Life to death, but she hadn’t lost her composure, remaining steady and elegant until her death.

Unlike other NPCs who showed fear.

"If you could meet the original me," the Goddess of Life said, her voice suddenly softening, her finger lightly touching her lips, "you might actually see my less mature side."

She wasn’t always like this; after a long period of growth, she became the Life Goddess as people knew her, originally possessing innocence and vivacity like a young girl, but very few... ever saw that side.
