I gnawed on dry rations, and before I could swallow, a knock came at the door. Rarely did anyone come to this ghost-like place, so I assumed it was Gou Hun. I hurriedly cleaned up the cookie crumbs and desperately swallowed, almost choking. After ensuring no traces remained, I ran to open the door. Seeing that stern face, I said in surprise, “Task Master.”
Task Master looked haggard, shoving a jade token into my hand, saying, “Wang Xiaoer again…”
My mouth twitched: “Isn’t he just reborn?!”
“Yes, he was reborn and then something happened again…”
I was furious: “Is he addicted to rebirth? Isn’t the divine altar supposed to be impossible to access without a firm intention? Could Wang Xiaoer actually be the High God’s long-lost brother?”
Task Master nodded: “I’ll relay your speculation to the High God.”
Damn! If the old man found out, I’d be done for! I immediately straightened up: “I will complete the task excellently!”
“Good. You can go together.”
“Together?” I frowned, immediately protesting, “He’s coming too?!
I pondered for a moment and replied, “Many of them, such as those managing time travel, court affairs, family matters, martial world affairs… yes, and the task managers overseeing our divine missions. Basically, our divine beings’ shadows can be found wherever you look.” Curiously, I asked, “Why do you ask?” Seeing his eyes growing brighter and his expression more mischievous, I couldn’t help swallowing and said, “You’re not planning to summon them all… are you?”
Wang Xiaoer looked me straight in the eye and said, “A divine being’s brain is indeed much smarter than a mortal’s.”
…Save me! If other divine beings found out, they’d surely skewer me! I tried to persuade him, “Don’t, you know divine beings have their own affairs, you…”
“No,” Wang Xiaoer said decisively, “It’s best to invite them all. I can think slowly.”
I felt my heart trembling. For Wang Xiaoer, this extraordinary character, I believed he could empty out the divine realm… I forced a smile, “You’re too small. If all the divine beings came, there’d be no space for you to stand.”
Wang Xiaoer furrowed his brow, then struck his palm with his fist, suddenly realizing, “Didn’t you say something about a personal space?
Let the divine beings go there!
