Chapter 1529 Request for Help
“I think ‘I’ll do anything’ means that even if you know that something is beyond your capabilities, you will still do it without hesitation.”
Lin Yu looked at Bai Ying and said seriously.
Bai Ying sighed: "But it's not that I'm subjectively running away, it's that I can't do it objectively—I'm a prisoner, a prisoner in jail, my friend."
"Do you think I can wander around the core area of this 'eternal cage'? My sphere of activity... is limited to this cell of mine."
As Bai Ying spoke, Lin Yu calmly replied, "But you opened the lock, didn't you?"
"This means... in a sense, this cell can't actually hold you—at least not right now."
Lin Yu knew very well that it was... who had just unlocked the cell door.
It is definitely Bai Ying herself.
Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, Bai Ying explained, "That's because the rules set by the 'God of Fairness and Judgment' suddenly weakened, which is why I was able to do this."
“Because He was attacked by other gods, He has no time to worry about this core area for the time being,” Lin Yu said, looking at Bai Ying. “Since you can unlock the lock, you can also come out for a stroll—He won’t notice you.”
Bai Ying shook her head vigorously: "No, absolutely not... Even if they don't notice now, if they find out later that I left the cell without permission, they will definitely hold me accountable."
Lin Yu looked at Bai Ying and said in confusion, "How else can He punish you... Do you know how long your sentence is? A sentence on the order of a billion years, even if it's doubled, it's already insignificant, right?"
"Even 'death' isn't a punishment for you, is it?"
Bai Ying sighed, "That's true... but the 'God of Fairness and Judgment' still has ways to punish me."
"How else can He punish you?"
Lin Yu frowned and asked.
Bai Ying gave a bitter smile: "He was already very lenient with me back then... This billion-year sentence is not just my sin, but the collective sin of everyone involved in this matter in the entire Mist Island United Kingdom."
"Although I am indeed the mastermind, I did come here to serve my sentence in place of the participants with the permission of that deity."
"So... if I don't behave myself, He can simply cancel this 'extra grace' on me."
As Bai Ying spoke, Lin Yu was somewhat surprised.
"But besides you, there shouldn't be any survivors from Kirishima who were involved in this, right? Could it be that the 'God of Fairness and Judgment' has the ability to resurrect the dead and imprison them?"
If that's really the case, then the god of fairness and judgment could do such a thing...
Lin Yu should definitely report Lin Zhao's crimes to this God of Fairness and Judgment.
But even gods cannot break the taboos of life and death.
Bai Ying sighed and said, "Of course He can't, but... you're wrong about one thing. One of the criminals who were involved in this matter back then is still alive."
"Moreover, you just told me that she is definitely alive."
Lin Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard Bai Ying's words, and then he realized what she meant.
"Princess White Moon? She also participated in... the destruction and invasion of other worlds?"
Because Princess Baiyue is Baiying's daughter and a generation younger than Baiying, Lin Yu subconsciously felt that Princess Baiyue was not involved in Baiying's plan back then.
but……
This seems to be just a preconceived guess.
After all, based on both Lao Zheng's description and his own interactions, Princess Baiyue was a very "pure and kind" person.
But upon closer examination, Princess Baiyue's strength is definitely not weak, and it is entirely possible that she plays an important role in something like "invading other worlds."
While she might not plan such a thing, she might get involved if it were for the noble cause of "saving more lives."
Especially when one of the "masterminds" behind the plan was her mother.
"So, your 'weak point'... is that you're afraid the 'God of Fairness and Judgment' will also arrest Princess Baiyue and imprison her here?"
Bai Ying nodded: "Yes, especially after you told me that she is now living a very happy life, I find it even more difficult to accept that this situation has occurred... I'm sorry."
"Even if there's only the slightest possibility, I don't want Bai Yue to suffer here."
Lin Yu showed a regretful expression upon hearing Bai Ying's words.
"I never expected... that it was my own words that caused me to lose your support."
Having said that…
Lin Yu didn't actually feel much regret.
He didn't actually intend to take Bai Ying with him or use her as a helper from the beginning.
After all, although Bai Ying is very strong and has been here for many years and can be considered a "local guide", Lin Yu doesn't really need a guide... On the other hand, the things he is about to do sometimes don't necessarily require him to find a "witness".
But Lin Yu still made this request...
This was naturally a "negotiation technique" employed when it was anticipated that White Oriole would refuse.
Since his suggestion to make a hole in the ceiling was rejected...
Now let's talk about opening the window.
"Since you're unwilling to participate in activities with me, I can always offer other forms of assistance, right?"
As Lin Yu spoke, Bai Ying nodded.
"Of course... as long as it doesn't require me to move around in the 'Eternal Cage,' I'll do whatever you want!"
……
……
……
Spirit world.
The birth of a new authority and the turmoil in the divine kingdom of the "God of Fairness and Judgment" were two overlapping events that were enough to attract the attention of many gods in the divine realm.
Furthermore, the aura of more than one deity emanating from the vicinity of this divine kingdom at this moment... oblivion, change, shadow... a large amount of authority bursting forth, making it even more difficult to ignore.
The god of banquets, wine, and revelry, with his head topped with a glass wine jug, sat at a table in the banquet hall, savoring the delicious dishes his chosen ones had just served, while casting his gaze toward the boundless divine realm outside the banquet hall.
"Has the God of Judgment finally found two deities willing to duel in the 'Land of Desperation'? Are they the two from the Kirishima Realm?"
"Something seems off... Why is that guy Shadow involved?"
"This is really complicated!"
The god of banquet muttered to himself, then lifted the lid of the jug on his head, poured a cup of fine wine into it, and revealed an expression of enjoyment.
"Indeed, compared to those complicated matters, I still prefer... enjoying delicious food and wine, and indulging in unrestrained pleasure."
As he spoke, he grabbed the wine bottle on the table and prepared to refill his glass.
But just as His hand was about to touch the bottle...
Suddenly, some green gibberish appeared on the bottle.
Soon, the entire bottle began to appear distorted and disordered, with pixel-like shifts.
The god of banquets was slightly taken aback, but in that brief moment of surprise...
"Clap!"
A sound like an electric shock rang out, and the entire wine bottle vanished from the dining table.
Instead, there is a pixelated cartoon girl with short hair.
The head of the wine jug looked at the cartoon figure that appeared, as if it was startled, and then became somewhat displeased.
"'God of Games and Rules'...what are you doing?"
The God of Games and Rules, Shen Bingmiao, who is also depicted in pixel art style, looked at the God of Banquet and cheerfully raised her hand to greet him.
"Coming over for a party? — Don't you claim that in your country 'the parties never stop, the wine is always available, and the revelry never ends'?"
“Really? Then I’m very happy to welcome you. Although this is your first time here, ‘games’ go well with ‘banquets’ and ‘carnivals’, don’t you think?” the God of Banquets said happily. “Of course… that is, provided that you are really here to participate in the banquet.”
In the latter half of his speech, the god of banquets' tone shifted, becoming serious.
The cartoon version of Shen Bingmiao smiled and said, "Oh dear, what makes you say that?"
The God of the Banquet, looking at Shen Bingmiao before him—who was neither the real Shen Bingmiao nor even a clone, but at best a two-dimensional cartoon figure—calmly said, "If you are coming to attend the banquet..."
"Shouldn't they at least come in a state where they can 'eat'?"
At this point, the God of Banquet paused for a moment: "Moreover... you seem to be plotting something, so you shouldn't be in the mood to attend the banquet."
Shen Bingmiao nodded: "You're right. Actually, I came here to ask for help... I noticed that you've recently invested in some 'players,' right?"
“‘Investment’? I don’t do such far-sighted things. That’s what other gods do, but I don’t,” the God of Feasts shook his head. “I just… give help and rewards to some ‘players’ that I like.”
"I don't care about the changes in the Ten Realms, nor do I care how much potential those players have. I'm just doing what makes me happy."
"The god of banquets said frankly."
Shen Bingmiao nodded: "But no matter what, the 'players' you gave 'rewards' to are at least those you favor and appreciate, right?"
"So... if they encounter trouble far beyond their capabilities, or are targeted by other gods, you will help them within your power, right?"
The god of banquet stretched out his hand, and a new bottle of sparkling wine appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The cork popped off, and the wine poured into the glass.
The God of Banquet raised his wine glass and spoke again: "God of Games, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"As you can see, something has happened in the kingdom of the 'God of Fairness and Judgment'—a 'player' you sponsored is trapped inside and is facing an attack from both the gods of shadow and oblivion."
"The God of Shadows, Pain, and Nightmares attacked the God of Fairness and Judgment because of that 'player'."
“In addition, the false gods of the ‘Gray Zone’ were also involved in this matter.”
Shen Bingmiao paused for a moment after saying this.
"In short, I hope you can... lend a hand at some point."
