LRAB Chapter 552 The Original Goddess
Chapter 552 The Original Goddess
Hearing Xiaoxiao's confident assurance, Taoyao's faint smile remained unchanged.
A side story exclusively for her?
That sounds good.
However, Tao Yao didn't believe a word of Xiao Xiao's so-called "guarantee".
I said the same thing last time.
The results of it?
What should have been a great single-player experience has been turned into a large-scale online multiplayer event.
Although the result wasn't bad, it even brought unexpected gains.
But this process had become something she was used to.
There will definitely be minor problems.
As long as nothing major happens that drags Hiyori and the others into it, it'll be fine.
With this indifferent thought in mind, Tao Yao spoke lazily.
"It would be best if it were as you said."
She paused, then added.
"okay."
"Then let's get started now."
That calm voice carried an undeniable urgency.
【what? 】
The little one's joyful figure suddenly stopped, and even the flapping wings behind her froze in mid-air.
Now...now?
Its voice was filled with unexpected astonishment.
Tao Yao's response remained indifferent.
Yes, hurry up.
【But……】
Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then circled Tao Yao once, seemingly organizing her thoughts.
[Master, isn't our experience going to be part of the 'Old Flower Language' storyline for a new version?]
Is it not a good idea to start so hastily?
[Don't we need to prepare some kind of pre-mission setup, or maybe create an opening animation?]
In my opinion, any major version update should have corresponding pre-release activities and storyline setup so that players can better immerse themselves in the game.
It would be too hasty to start now.
"There's plenty of time to edit and piece together that kind of stuff later."
Tao Yao, however, did not care at all.
"You can cut it however you like."
She shifted to a more comfortable position, leaning against the trunk of the ancient tree, and continued to explain.
"This is a rare opportunity."
"The little fairies are all busy nurturing their fairy flowers, each one eager to increase their strength, and they don't have time to bother me for the time being."
“Once they hit a bottleneck and all of them have free time, I won’t be able to find such a consistent amount of time.”
This explanation is brimming with individualism.
Simply put, it's about taking advantage of the fact that no one is around to bother you and quickly get things done.
As for how to package it into a game version, that's something to consider later.
After listening, Xiao Xiao felt that her master's idea was a bit too casual, but she also felt that it made a lot of sense.
It cannot be refuted.
【All right……】
The system wizard eventually gave in.
The owner only needs to close their eyes and take a short nap, just like before.
Its voice became cheerful again.
As for the rest, Xiaoxiao can handle it all!
Upon hearing this, Tao Yao nodded gently.
She adjusted her posture, leaned against the rough bark, and slowly closed her eyes.
……
……
Consciousness experienced a brief period of detachment and fragmentation.
When Tao Yao regained her senses, she found herself still leaning against that ancient tree.
Everything around seemed unchanged.
The sea of flowers is still the same sea of flowers, and the gentle breeze still brings that familiar fragrance.
The small figure has disappeared.
It was as if everything that had just happened was just a brief dream, and nothing had actually occurred.
Tao Yao frowned slightly.
Failed?
Or has Xiaoxiao made another blunder?
She stood up and slowly scanned the vast flower field in front of her.
She quickly realized that something was wrong.
Although at first glance, this place looks no different from the primordial land she is familiar with.
However, upon closer inspection, one can discover those subtle yet fundamental differences.
The sea of flowers in front of me seems to be withering away.
This withering is not a large-scale decay, but a sign that vitality is slowly fading away.
A blooming "Dream Glass" plant, its glassy petals had lost some of their luster, and even a barely perceptible yellowish tinge had appeared at the edges.
The iridescent halo on the leaves of the rainbow lily not far away no longer shines so brightly, and it looks somewhat withered.
The entire sea of flowers was shrouded in a vibrant yet eerie atmosphere, tinged with a hint of gloom.
and so……
Is this the origin of the past?
Did I successfully return to the past?
A thought slowly emerged in Tao Yao's mind.
Without further hesitation, she took a step and began to walk through this sea of flowers that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
The ground beneath my feet was soft and springy.
And as she passed by.
Those fairy flowers that were originally somewhat listless seemed to sense something.
One by one, cluster by cluster, they all began to slowly and silently approach her direction.
Their flower heads turned towards her, their stems bending slightly, as if expressing their closeness and submission in this most primal and instinctive way.
It is a longing and reverence for the origin of life.
Tao Yao did not stop.
She walked through the flowerbed that paid the highest tribute to her, and crossed the babbling brook formed by the convergence of demonic power.
Soon, she arrived at a wide-open meadow.
In the center of the meadow, beneath an even older giant tree, hangs a swing woven from vines.
And sitting on that swing was a pink figure.
The figure had his back to her and was swaying gently with the swing.
Her long, flowing pink hair cascaded down like a waterfall, reflecting a sacred yet gentle halo in the sunlight.
Tao Yao stopped involuntarily at this moment.
Looking at that figure from behind, she felt as if she were seeing another version of herself in a mirror.
Both their physique and their innate, harmonious aura are nearly nine-tenths similar to hers.
The only difference, perhaps, lies in the essence of that aura.
The other person's temperament was even more reserved and gentler than hers, and within that gentleness lay a vast and ancient power that even she found awe-inspiring.
Just as Tao Yao was gazing at the other person.
The pink figure on the swing seemed to sense something as well.
The swing slowly stopped.
He turned around and looked at Tao Yao.
It was a face almost identical to Tao Yao's, exquisitely beautiful.
He looked at Tao Yao, and in his eyes, which held the stars and the sea, a trace of nostalgia flashed first. Then, a gentle smile, enough to revive all things, bloomed on his lips.
"My dear daughter, we've finally met again."
