Chapter 89: Fine-Tuning from the Witch

“Cressa, can you tell me what happened after I died?”

Xu Xi continued to ask the Witch.

He was curious and puzzled. After the second simulation ended, what exactly happened to the Witch that caused the words “Supreme Deity” to appear on the simulator’s results panel?

“Yes, after you left…”

Cressa parted her lips and began to narrate the story of what happened after Xu Xi’s death in a calm tone.

Starting from the discovery of the manuscripts in the study.

To uprooting the churches of the gods and eradicating the faith in deities.

Then came the assault on the Heavenly Realm.

Cressa’s tone was steady, devoid of any emotion, as if mechanically reciting the past word by word.

When Xu Xi heard that Cressa had crushed the crown of the magical world, he fell into silence, his expression one of existential doubt. Had he really become a sacrificial offering?!

But the shocks brought by the Witch didn’t end there.

Venturing into Chaos, conquering myriad realms, battling the gods of the heavens.

Cressa was overwhelmingly fierce.

Her dazzling achievements and astonishing breakthrough speed made Xu Xi doubt whether the Witch who could crush the gods of Chaos was the same Cressa he knew.

“Truly unbelievable…”

After listening to Cressa’s tale, Xu Xi gazed at her calm and obedient face, unable to connect it with the so-called Supreme Witch.

A Supreme Deity surpassing great divine power?

The Lord of Time and Space symbolizing creation and the end?

An eternal being transcending Chaos?

Xu Xi didn’t understand gods. His only knowledge of them came from the faint divine power released by the God of Light when Allen destroyed the city.

He couldn’t imagine what kind of immense power those more terrifying and lofty divine forces might wield.

Even less could he imagine.

What an inconceivable existence the Witch, who bore these terrifying titles and truly reigned over the myriad realms, would be. In the end, all Xu Xi was left with was a vague impression.

Strong! Extremely strong! Super strong!

“As long as you’re safe and sound,” Xu Xi sighed at the Witch’s growth, then reached out to gently rub the top of her head.

His voice was soft, filled with heartache and affection.

As for the Witch’s strength, Xu Xi didn’t really care. What he was more concerned about was the thrilling journey the Witch had undergone, and thankfully, everything was safe and sound.

Originally, Xu Xi had planned for Cressa to live a stable life in the magical world.

A quiet life in seclusion.

He never expected that his death would provide such a great stimulus, driving Cressa to overthrow the gods and embark on a path Xu Xi had never envisioned.

Was this a stroke of luck?

Xu Xi thought not.

If time could be reversed, even knowing that the Witch would become a Supreme Deity, Xu Xi wouldn’t have let her go into battle.

Compared to so-called power, he cared more about the Witch’s safety.

Only this, only this, was what Xu Xi particularly cared about.

“Thud—”

Xu Xi’s index finger bent and lightly tapped the Witch’s smooth forehead, admonishing her, “Don’t be so reckless in the future.”

“Yes…”

The Witch dumbly covered her forehead.

Although she verbally agreed, her demeanor made one doubt whether she truly took it to heart.

The living room was so spacious, the lighting somewhat dim. The two sitting there should have felt infinitely desolate and lonely, but somehow, the scolded Witch only felt at ease.

She knew the reason.

Because of Xu Xi, because her sun was by her side, bringing her comfort and warmth.

Then.

Xu Xi began to inquire about other matters.

He briefly learned about the changes in Cressa’s life after the second simulation ended and her authority as a Supreme Deity.

Suddenly, Xu Xi thought of an important question.

“Cressa, is it your true body sitting here talking to me?”

Xu Xi hesitantly asked.

Earth was too fragile. Compared to the boundless celestial bodies in the universe, Earth was undoubtedly insignificant.

Even if it began to ascend, even if it began to expand, it was far from being able to withstand a Supreme Deity. Yet, how to explain the Cressa before him?

Cressa answered thus: “I met a kind person.”

“A kind person?”

“Yes, He taught me Consciousness Projection. Sitting here talking to you is a projection of my consciousness…”

“So, it’s just a wisp of consciousness, a projection.”

Xu Xi suddenly understood.

No wonder the Witch could ignore her supreme essence and descend upon fragile Earth. What appeared before him was merely an insignificant strand of the Witch.

In that case, being able to reunite with Cressa so early.

They should really thank that kind person.

Surely a great deity with a kind heart and indescribable power and status?

“Truly a good person,” Xu Xi sighed. He had thought that in the transcendent system, the stronger one’s power, the more indifferent their temperament. He never imagined there could be such a helpful being.

Xu Xi did not see.

As he moved his wrist, the Eternal Tear Drop he inadvertently revealed caught the attention of Cressa’s hollow eyes.

“Feels… familiar…”

In the following time, Xu Xi took Cressa for a walk in the courtyard, briefly explaining the layout of each room and selecting a new bedroom for her.

Along the way, Xu Xi jokingly said that from now on, he would rely on Cressa to protect him, after all, the Witch was terrifyingly strong now.

Xu Xi meant to lighten the mood, but the Witch seemed to take it seriously, closely following him, shadowing his light, very earnestly guarding Xu Xi.

Study, kitchen, training room.

They passed through each room.

The final destination was Xu Xi’s room.

Pushing open the door, the first thing that caught the Witch’s eye was the large and conspicuous wooden display cabinet, inside which lay the familiar Gray Rekindling wand and a completely meaningless ordinary sugar jar.

“Mentor, this is…”

Cressa’s tone revealed confusion.

“Surprised, aren’t you, Cressa.”

Xu Xi chuckled a few times, opened the glass door of the display cabinet, and took out the charred wand.

“The wand you lost years ago coincidentally came back to me. I originally wanted to keep it as a memento, but since you’re back, do you want to take it back?”

“After all, it was originally yours.”

Hearing Xu Xi’s question, Cressa shook her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the sugar jar in the first compartment.

Her voice was bewildered: “Mentor, what is that?”

Xu Xi replied: “How to put it, it’s hard to explain. It’s an important memory, even though it looks like just an ordinary jar of sugar.”

The Witch seemed to understand vaguely.

She wasn’t stupid.

When it came to matters concerning Xu Xi, the clumsy Witch was smarter than ever.

With Xu Xi’s permission, the Witch slowly stepped forward and slightly adjusted the positions of the sugar jar and the wand.

Now.

The wand was in the first position.
