Chapter 91: Krisha and Xu Mo Li

In the living room.

Expressionless Cressa explains to Xu Xi about the ascension of Earth.

In the past, when the Witch first discovered Earth, it was already in a state of supernatural descent.

The Witch’s role was more about accelerating the process, wanting Earth to expand enough to accommodate her.

“Please rest assured.”

“I did not indiscriminately slaughter innocent lives.”

Cressa explains, summoning her magic staff.

The material of the staff is incredibly ordinary.

It remains the same as when Xu Xi gifted it to Cressa.

But the supreme power within “Gray Rekindling” has created an eternal space-time inside, where all worlds that have become Earth’s nourishment live peacefully.

Only a very few, deemed by the Witch to have special purposes or unwilling to live within the staff’s space-time.

Like a certain red dragon.

It will fall to Earth along with fragments of the magical world, becoming part of the Spiritual Energy Revival era.

“This…”

Xu Xi lies back on the living room sofa, sinking into it, feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information.

Good news, his Witch is not the mastermind.

Bad news, his Witch is an accomplice.

Recently, the frequent appearance of magical Boundary Ruins on Earth is almost entirely Cressa’s doing.

“This is really… hard to put into words.”

Xu Xi is speechless.

To say the appearance of Boundary Ruins is bad, yet they greatly advance human development, with civilization progressing rapidly.

To say the appearance of Boundary Ruins is good, yet they do bring some upheaval to Earth, causing unnecessary chaos and conflict.

“However, overall, it is indeed a good thing.”

Xu Xi closes his eyes in contemplation, recalling the overall changes in humanity over the years.

In the past, humans would suffer countless casualties from infighting.

Now, humans have become more united, directing their efforts against supernatural disasters and Boundary Ruins.

Moreover.

The spiritual energy of Immortal Cultivation, the elements of magic, the vitality of the Martial Path, the intelligent machines of sci-fi, all these incredible knowledges have sparked a new technological explosion in humanity.

Once fatal diseases now have cures, stagnant civilizations have gained vitality.

There’s even hope to become immortals or gods.

Compared to these benefits, the supernatural disasters experienced in the past five or six years seem insignificant.

Xu Xi ponders for a long time, ultimately not stopping the Witch’s ascension actions.

The Witch has done well.

Creatures are happy to accept the Supreme Deity’s protection, only the empty remnants of worlds and the corpses of gods are integrated into Earth.

Good for you, good for me, good for everyone.

Total win!

“Just, on some future day, if Earth really grows enough to accommodate Cressa’s descent, what kind of scene would that be?”

Xu Xi indulges in a bit of fantasy, marveling at such a future.

Perhaps, such an Earth would truly become the brightest star among all realms.

Xu Xi finishes his hot tea, exhaling a long breath.

Today.

The shocks brought by the Witch.

Are really too much.

Xu Xi feels he might need several days to fully accept and digest these astonishing facts.

…………

…………

“Goodnight, Cressa.”

Night has fallen, it’s time to part.

After washing up.

Xu Xi bids farewell to Cressa, ready to return to his room to rest, not expecting Cressa to follow closely behind.

The night is silent, the courtyard is quiet, the Witch’s steps almost overlapping with Xu Xi’s.

The moonlight is pure, white and smooth as jade.

In the corridor lit only by small lights, the Witch is very quiet, Xu Xi takes a step forward, and she follows suit.

Inseparable.

“Cressa, aren’t you going back to your room?”, Xu Xi wonders.

He knows, for a godlike Witch, sleeping is not necessary, but is it really necessary to follow him 24/7?

Cressa stops, her silver-gray hair swaying, like a flowing silver waterfall hiding light.

“I need to protect you.”

Perhaps feeling her words are too abrupt.

She adds: “At least for tonight, please allow me to do this.”

Xu Xi is amused, he didn’t expect a joke from the day to be remembered by the Witch till now.

Looking at the delicate face showing seriousness in calmness.

Xu Xi thinks, then refuses: “No need, Cressa, with my current strength, there’s no threat on Earth.”

“Not necessarily, Mentor…”

Cressa murmurs.

Seemingly implying something.

Xu Xi shakes his head with a smile, thinking Cressa doesn’t know his trump card, doesn’t understand the value of the Eternal Tear Drop.

Joking, below Immortal Emperor he’s invincible, above Immortal Emperor there’s the Witch.

Xu Xi really can’t think of anything on this small Earth that could threaten him.

“Cressa, thank you for your kindness.”

“But I really don’t need protection.”

Xu Xi smiles, letting the Witch leave.

Alone, he enters his room.

No cultivation today, but after meeting the Witch, Xu Xi’s brain has received too much information, thinking too much is tiring.

Thus, after returning to the bedroom, Xu Xi directly collapses onto the bed.

Entering a deep sleep.

“…”

Night envelops the sky, streetlights remain bright, the night of the real world is far noisier than the magical world.

The crescent moon gently touches the end of the Milky Way.

Sprinkling faint light onto the surface.

For many young people, this time is just the beginning of real nightlife.

Noisy human voices faintly come from the city center.

Mixed with unknown rhythmic hot songs.

What should be extremely noisy behavior adds loneliness to the silent night.

Without Xu Xi noticing, inside the bedroom, slight spatial ripples suddenly appear, and when they completely settle, the Witch is already sitting in the corner of the room.

Like before, like in the simulation.

Sitting alone on a small wooden chair.

By the bed, expressionless, gazing at Xu Xi’s sleeping face.

The Witch is familiar, very familiar with Xu Xi’s face, but the young Xu Xi, the Witch hasn’t seen for a long time.

She sits silently, her eyes slightly moving, as if wanting to remember this moment eternally.

“Mentor…”

Under the moonlight, Cressa softly calls.

Why call?

She herself doesn’t know, just inexplicably, her heart wants to call out to the returned salvation, over and over again.

However, Cressa hasn’t forgotten the real purpose of her guarding Xu Xi’s room tonight.

“Elder Brother…”

Equally silent.

Equally invisible.

Just, unlike the Witch who appeared openly during the day, this time the visitor is extremely timid, only daring to come secretly in the dead of night.

Her eyes are only on Xu Xi, her voice trembling, filled with infinite attachment and guilt, but the next moment, she realizes there’s another person in the room, someone who shouldn’t be there.
