Chapter 1292: The Sick Goddess
 

Hong Dali slept soundly that night and even had a rather nice dream. In his dream, he held the Goddess of Wisdom and Tang Muxin on his left, Li Nianwei and Zhang Yi on his right, Lin Chuyin and Qianxue were standing at his back, and there was a child in front of him…

Blissful! No one wanted to wake from a dream like this one, right?

However, as Hong Dali was happily dreaming, he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong. He seemed to hear the Goddess of Wisdom mumbling faintly.

That’s not right. What’s happening?

Hong Dali grumbled and woke up. He fumbled along in the direction of the Goddess of Wisdom. It was early in the morning, only four or five o’clock, and the skies were still dark. He could not see his surroundings clearly and could only vaguely remember the general direction. As he felt his way out, as expected, he tripped and fell right on the Goddess of Wisdom…

“I, I, I, I, I didn’t mean it!” Hong Dali was shocked. The Goddess of Wisdom was pure and untainted. Although she had been accidentally taken advantage of by him before, he had not dared to flirt or touch her afterward. It was important that he didn’t touch her casually, he could die!

Unexpectedly, the Goddess of Wisdom, who should have flown into a rage, did not respond at all. Hong Dali felt that something was wrong and quickly shook the Goddess of Wisdom. But she still didn’t respond! He could only feel that the body of the Goddess of Wisdom was hot, very hot!

“God!” Hong Dali was so scared he opened his eyes wide. “Could Sister Goddess be sick?! Do Goddesses fall sick?!”

In Hong Dali’s mind, Goddesses should not fall sick. They had eternal life and they were so powerful. Countless people would die with just a flick of their finger—how could such an existence fall sick?!

But the facts were in front of him and Hong Dali had no choice but to believe it. No matter how he looked, it was a fact that the Goddess of Wisdom was now sick.

In fact, it was not difficult to understand—everyone knew about AIDS. AIDS was simply the human immune system failing. The person lost resistance to diseases, which allowed various diseases and cancers to survive in the human body, ultimately leading to their death.

The Goddess of Wisdom’s situation was similar.

She was a powerful goddess before. When she had her divinity, her body was able to aggressively regenerate the effects of aging with powerful energy. She would naturally be immune to viruses. Now, things were different. Her divinity had been sealed, and just like a person whose immune system had suddenly disappeared, her resistance to disease would naturally take a dive.

So, in these two days, she had been on an emotional roller coaster and had fallen sick…

It seemed weird, but that was in fact what happened.

“What should I do, what should I do?” Hong Dali touched the Goddess of Wisdom’s forehead. It was hot and it looked like she had a common cold. Although a cold was just a mild illness, for the Goddess of Wisdom, who now needed to re-establish her immune system, it could turn life-threatening.

“I can’t bother with so much now.” There was no medicine around there. He had to use the simplest method of cooling a body down—Hong Dali took off his clothes very swiftly and ran all the way to the pool. The water in the morning was cool and perfect for lowering one’s temperature.

Using his clothes as a wet towel, Hong Dali ran back to the cave and carefully placed it on the forehead of the Goddess of Wisdom.

Time passed minute by minute. Just after the day broke, the Goddess of Wisdom finally moved.

“En… I… what’s wrong with me? I feel so dizzy…” The Goddess of Wisdom felt weak. She couldn’t get up although she wanted to. Fortunately, her mind was alert.

“Phew—you’re awake.” Seeing that the Goddess of Wisdom was finally speaking, Hong Dali heaved a sigh of relief. “Do you know you were sick? You laid there just now and no matter how I shook you, you refused to wake up. I was so afraid. Luckily you’re awake now. Otherwise, you might be the first Goddess to die in all the dimensions of the universe—do you feel better now?”

As Hong Dali spoke, he simply took the clothes placed on her forehead away and reached out to touch her forehead. “Fortunately, the temperature has gone down quite a bit. Do you know you were so feverish just now your entire body was burning and your forehead was scalding… eh? Eh, what are you doing? Sit down! Let’s talk calmly, don’t resort to violence!”

“You, did you touch me just now?!” The Goddess of Wisdom held the staff firmly in her right hand. If Hong Dali dared to come any closer to her, she would blow the prodigal up and then die of her illness by herself.

“If I didn’t touch you, you won’t even be able to get up now. Do you know that?” Hong Dali stepped back and said, “You’re a patient now, a sick person, okay? Can you stop getting worked up? What kind of person do you think I am? Do you think I’m trying to take advantage of you all the time? I swear to the lamp, I only touched your head just now. I didn’t do anything else!”

What he said was somewhat amusing and also true. Also, her attire was untouched. So he probably didn’t try to feel her up. Only then did the Goddess of Wisdom feel relief. Immediately afterward, she felt a wave of weakness and her entire body shook.

Seeing that she was about to fall, Hong Dali didn’t care about anything else and rushed forward to catch her before putting her down slowly. He said, “Can you stop getting so worked up? There’s no medicine here. You can only rely on your own immune system to fight the virus—speaking of which, you’re a goddess and you can actually catch a cold? I’m really flabbergasted…”

“My divinity has been sealed. My body’s self-regeneration ability has disappeared and my immunity is lowered. Is it that strange that I will get sick?” The Goddess of Wisdom slowly laid down with Hong Dali’s help. She looked much better now. “Thank you.”

“Look at you, you’re so polite now.” Hong Dali, wearing only his underwear, sat on the floor grinning. “You can lie down and rest peacefully. Anyway, there are only the two of us here, you don’t need to worry so much. I will take care of you these few days. It’s just that I may be a bit touchy and not very good at waiting on people. Don’t get angry if I offend you.”

“I know.” The Goddess of Wisdom was lying on the earthen bed. Her goddess robe was made of some unknown material that was of exceptional quality. Not a speck of dirt clung to it. It would not need to be washed or changed. She laid down for a while and suddenly sighed softly. “You’re a very kind person. Alas, it’s a pity that I realized it too late.”

“I’m very kind, to begin with, hehe.” Being suddenly praised by the Goddess of Wisdom, Hong Dali felt floaty and embarrassed. “Actually, I’m not that good. You don’t have to be too grateful to me… ah, let me get you some food first. You must recuperate and get well as soon as possible. You’re lucky it’s just a small cold. I can’t help if it’s anything more serious.”

“I understand.” The Goddess of Wisdom responded softly before closing her eyes.

This time, Hong Dali had just left for a while before he ran back in excitedly, shouting happily, “Hahaha, Sister Goddess, I made a big discovery! I found that there are animals here! Hahaha!”
 

Chapter 1293: Myth
 

Animals were human’s best friends. There were only Hong Dali and the Goddess of Wisdom here, but their relationship was not so friendly, so they were often awkwardly silent and bored.

With animals, everything was different. Although the Goddess of Wisdom was a goddess, she was female. There was naturally an instinctive closeness to cute animals. Coupled with Hong Dali’s clowning around, it would be much easier to pass time.

“Really…” Although the Goddess of Wisdom was still weak, she was quite happy when she heard this. “Where? Do you like them a lot?”

“Hehe, they’re here!” Hong Dali called to the animals he found. “Xiao Hei, quick come! Come see if Big Sister is beautiful!”

Soon, a dark shadow rushed directly to the Goddess of Wisdom along with his words. Then, it gently arched. It was a small squirrel-like animal. It was only the size of two palms and was very cute. Its small eyes looked at the Goddess of Wisdom curiously. Obviously, the little thing had a good impression of the Goddess of Wisdom.

“It’s a cute little creature…” The Goddess of Wisdom’s gloomy mood was finally better. She gently reached out and stroked the little creature’s back. “Hello, you’re so cute…”

The little creature jumped up and down excitedly when he was praised, then fell down into the arms of the Goddess of Wisdom. It was very well-behaved.

With this little creature as a buffer between the two, their relationship had obviously improved a lot.

In the following days, Hong Dali took good care of the Goddess of Wisdom sincerely. Although the Goddess of Wisdom had an instinctive resistance, after such a long time, she no longer frowned upon Hong Dali. As long as Hong Dali didn’t go overboard with his jokes, she would occasionally reveal some happy smiles.

Time passed day by day and the Goddess of Wisdom got better. But Hong Dali was busy with something every day and always seemed to be excited.

The Goddess of Wisdom didn’t care much at first, but she became more curious. Although she was almost well, her body was still weak. That night, the Goddess of Wisdom secretly followed Hong Dali and saw him carrying Xiao Hei while twisting straw into rope.

“What are you doing?” The Goddess of Wisdom sat down about one meter from Hong Dali. She looked as Hong Dali continued twisting the straw without stopping and asked, “What are you doing with the rope?”

“Ah, this rope?” Hong Dali ruffled his hair and smiled. “I found out that although this mountain peak looks very high, it’s not as high as I thought it was. If the rope is long enough, we might be able to get down. Hehe.”

Hearing that, the Goddess of Wisdom was clearly startled. Then, she rushed forward, kicked the rope aside, and grabbed Hong Dali’s hands. His hands had calluses from twisting the ropes over the past few days.

“You, you,” The Goddess of Wisdom’s tears fell. She said angrily and anxiously, “Who said I’m going down? You rascal, you didn’t even ask for my opinion! After we get down, what should… what should we do?!”

The Goddess of Wisdom’s words were simple, but the meaning was clear.

Both of them were on this mountain. Although they were hostile and their relationship was complicated, they could rely on each other. But what would happen after they got down? How should they get along? If there was no one else around, it was okay. But if they met other people, what would their stand be? After she regained her power, what would happen then?

“I understand.” Hong Dali naturally understood what the Goddess of Wisdom meant. He didn’t mind. He wiped his nose with a grin and said, “But it’s really boring on top of this mountain. We have to try, no matter what. We can only survive well if there are other people in this world. If you fall sick again, I won’t know what to do. This place is only so big. Although there are wild fruits, there will be a day when we finish them. No matter what, we should still try.”

Hong Dali said it simply, but his eyes were bright like stars in the night sky.

“You rascal…” The Goddess of Wisdom’s tears flowed down. Hong Dali had taken good care of her for the past few days and he was sincere in his actions. The Goddess of Wisdom was not cold-hearted. How could she turn a blind eye to Hong Dali’s care and concern?

“Alright, Sister Goddess, you’re a goddess. Goddesses shouldn’t cry.” Hong Dali braved forward and wiped the tears off her face. He said gently, “Under normal circumstances, you should be flying in the sky while I’m chasing after you on the ground. Then, my sincerity will touch you and you will come down to be my wife! Hehe, you can’t cry like this. It’s cold at night, don’t catch a cold again!”

“You’re a bad person. My immune system has almost recovered. I won’t fall sick so easily.” The Goddess of Wisdom found Hong Dali’s words amusing and chuckled. It finally quietened down as she sat beside Hong Dali without saying anything, watching him twist the straw rope.

The plant used by Hong Dali was very flexible, but it hurt his hands. He twisted them every day and made over ten meters in length a day. The straw ropes were then soaked in water and connected. The effect was surprisingly strong. At least according to Hong Dali’s test, there was no problem supporting rocks weighing up to three hundred kilograms.

In the following days, Hong Dali continued to twist straw to make ropes. The Goddess of Wisdom’s attitude toward him had also finally started to improve.

Hong Dali did not know how the Goddess was like before she descended. Now he knew.

What they had experienced during this period of time was as unbelievable as a myth. They had experienced life and death. Trapped on this mountain peak and isolated from the world, yet there was such a beautiful goddess accompanying Hong Dali through pain and happiness. This was how it felt. The only regrettable thing was that he couldn’t kiss anyone during the day or make love to anyone during the night. It was indeed a big pity.

Another ten days passed. On this day, Hong Dali connected all the ropes together. It was already more than three hundred meters long. He tied the rope firmly to a large tree with a diameter of about half a meter. After trying many times, he finally sighed, satisfied. “Aiya, it’s not easy. It’s finally done. Hahahahaha. I can finally say goodbye to this place. Hehe, new world, here I come!”

The Goddess of Wisdom looked at the rope, then looked at the warm nest that they both lived in during this time. For a moment, a myriad of thoughts filled her mind.

One thing was certain, she had considerable affection for Hong Dali. Sometimes, she even thought that it was a good thing if she could get along well with him.

“Sister Goddess,” Hong Dali turned his head and said excitedly, “Let’s prepare sufficient water and food and descend this mountain!”

“We’re leaving just like that…” The Goddess of Wisdom looked around again, then smiled. She looked at Hong Dali smilingly. “Okay, let’s go down!”
 

Chapter 1294: Celestial Warrior World
 

Now that everything was ready, both of them were ready to go down the mountain.

The Goddess of Wisdom was still recovering. Hong Dali looked at her and smiled. “Sister Goddess, you must hold me tight when we are going down the mountain. Don’t let go. Otherwise, if you fall in your current state, you will become the first god to fall to your death.”

“You bad person.” The Goddess of Wisdom’s face flushed red. She lowered her head, her voice was like a gnat. “I understand. But, you… you cannot make fun of me.” After spending so much time with Hong Dali, she became more human. She was no longer the unapproachable goddess.

Soon, Hong Dali stood in front of the goddess and tied their bodies together tightly with a rope. The Goddess of Wisdom then put her hands around his neck. They were almost ready to go.

The Goddess of Wisdom’s figure was good, indeed. It was not usually obvious. It was really different carrying her on his back—she was so light!

“Sister Goddess, you must hold on tight.” The Goddess of Wisdom’s breasts rubbed against Hong Dali’s back. It felt quite good. Hong Dali took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He must stop thinking. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to descend the mountain.

“I know.” The Goddess of Wisdom answered softly, then stopped speaking.

Immediately, Hong Dali grabbed the rope and descended little by little like a mountain climber.

The mountain was not considered high, but it was steep. With the rope, it was not so difficult to go down the mountain. Although Hong Dali could not use many of his skills, the physical attributes of his body, which were modified by the System, still remained. Having a person on his back was not hard at all. It took them about three hours to go down along the rope. When they finally stepped on the ground, they finally felt at ease.

“Okay, hurry… let go of me.” The Goddess of Wisdom touched the ground and quickly asked Hong Dali to untie the rope. After all, their posture was too intimate. The Goddess of Wisdom, who had not been with men for billions of years, was very embarrassed.

“Oh, oh. Okay.” Hong Dali agreed and quickly untied the rope.

At this moment, squirrel Xiao Hei secretly came out of Hong Dali’s clothes. Its little head looked around, then it jumped out excitedly, hopping left and right on the ground happily.

“It’s not easy. We’re finally down!” Hong Dali took a deep breath, satisfied. He looked around and said, “Sister Goddess, which way should we go?”

This should be the foot of the mountain. The angle of the ground was still downward, but it was on much flatter ground. There should be no problem with walking. There was a flatland in the distance, but they were unsure if there were people there.

Both of them let things take their natural course. They had no clear goal, anyway. Hence, they randomly chose a direction and headed down.

Along the way, Hong Dali touched his clothes—there was nothing in his pocket. Then, he looked at the space watch. Fortunately, this thing could still be used, but the things inside were gone—little Acka, who hid inside previously, was left in Hong Dali’s original dimension. Only the food collected by Hong Dali from the mountain was left inside.

“It’s not easy.” Hong Dali sniffled and said helplessly as he walked, “We don’t have money. It’s okay if there’s no one here. If there are people around, the first thing we need to do is to find a way to get some money.” He was a prodigal, after all. He naturally felt uncomfortable to have no money to spend. Very uncomfortable.

“Let’s see if there’s anyone around first.” The Goddess of Wisdom knew such things could not be rushed. They could only take one step at a time. She said, “Let’s not be anxious.” After they descended from the mountain, she did not speak much. It was obvious she was thinking about how she should face Hong Dali in the future.

Enemy? Definitely not anymore. The Devil had sacrificed his divinity. She did not resent Hong Dali for anything. But to say they were not enemies, their relationship was intertwined. She didn’t know what to do.

When evening came, Hong Dali looked into the distance. His eyes widened and he jumped up!

“There are people, there are people!” He pointed to a road not far away and said excitedly, “If there are roads, there must be people! But we don’t know what kind of world this is. We still have to be careful.”

Where there were people, there was vitality. This was actually a good thing. But they had just arrived and did not know what kind of world it was. It was best to be careful.

As Hong Dali said that, the sounds of horses galloping could be heard. Hong Dali was elated. That meant this world should be similar to Earth’s ancient society, where people rode horses. And they should look similar to them, so it would be relatively easier to handle.

Hong Dali and the Goddess of Wisdom hid in the bushes nearby. Soon, they saw seven or eight people coming from the west on horsebacks, wearing warrior clothes and swords. They were dashing toward the east.

Their speed was strange. In just a few seconds, they had traveled a far distance.

Hong Dali and the Goddess of Wisdom looked at each other, then he said, laughing, “It seems this world is not bad, hehe. It’s similar to our ancient world. This will make things easier.” Speaking up to this point, he suddenly touched his chin and said, “There’s one problem. What if we speak different languages?”

Language was a big problem. If this couldn’t be solved, it would be very troublesome.

“Let’s wait and see.” The Goddess of Wisdom said plainly, then added, “Almost all of the gods in different dimensions use the same language. As long as there is a Dimension Master in this dimension, the language barrier will not be a problem.”

While she spoke, the sound of horses galloping suddenly sounded. Both of them hurriedly hid. Sure enough, they saw six or seven people wearing warrior clothes riding horses, heading toward the east. As the horses galloped, one of them said, “Everybody, hurry up. I’m afraid we can’t catch up!” Another person said, “Indeed, this opportunity is rare. That person has committed a serious crime. We can’t let him escape!” Then, they went past.

Hong Dali actually understood what they said! This made things simpler.

Both of them looked at each other and Hong Dali asked curiously, “They seem to be going after someone. I wonder why. Shall we go take a look?” These people had obviously agreed to go after someone together. Hong Dali wanted to go and take a look—he had been too bored all this while.

“Let’s understand this world better first.” The Goddess of Wisdom shook her head and said, “It’s not the time to be curious about this.”

That made sense. It would be troublesome if they accidentally hurt anyone.

As they thought that, more sounds of horses galloping could be heard. Hong Dali heard a rough voice from far away, saying: “Brother, we have so many people encircling the Wushen Palace this time, will we succeed?” Another voice said, “This is a rare opportunity. Whether or not we succeed, we must take a look. Quick, let’s go!” They got nearer as they spoke.

Hong Dali wouldn’t bother if it was anything else. But when he heard the words “Wushen Palace”, he was shocked. Then, he was elated. He quickly jumped out from the bushes. “Please wait, may I know if you are heading to Wushen Palace?!”

Wushen Palace! That was where Brother Tang Zhen was from! This world was Celestial Warrior Dimension, the world where Brother Tang Zhen was born!
