171: Chapter 170 Brainstorming

In the Solar System of the Xingyang Civilization.

At the Lagrange point of the binary planet system formed by Blue Star and Earth.

A space city, modified and pieced together from several abandoned spaceships, floated there.

Living within it were the last survivors of the Xueyang Civilization from the parallel universe.

While all the Blue Star people without exception requested to live in space, even among the 1,692 Earthlings, over three hundred chose to stay by the Goddess's side.

They guarded Chu Xingyang, who had lost all her divine power and become a mortal.

It wasn't that they didn't know the Earth of this universe was very habitable and comfortable under the impartial care of the Great Deity Xingyang.

But in their hearts, they always felt grateful for the Snow Sun God's initial shelter, so they stayed behind without hesitation.

These three thousand-plus people petitioned the Xingyang Civilization for building materials and soil, and built the Xueyang Temple in the part of the space city with the most abundant light.

They spread soil behind the temple and planted the flowers and plants the Goddess liked most.

They did their utmost to ensure the deity lived in the most comfortable part of the space city.

But Chu Xingyang, who had been sent inside, felt as if she were sitting on needles; she hunched her body and walked with faltering steps among the crowd.

With tears streaming down her face, she urged them, "Children, I failed to protect you. Everything is my responsibility, my failure."

"Furthermore, I have no divine power now; I am just a weak woman who cannot even truss a chicken. This temple should not have been built!"

"Listen to me, devoutly convert to the Great Deity Xingyang. He is a benevolent, great, and powerful deity. If you convert to him, you can live well on the planets."

"This space city, filled with bronze walls and iron ramparts, is no place for long-term residence!"

The crowd wailed in unison.

"Mother God, you cared for us for generations. Now it is our turn to protect you."

"At a time like this, how could we possibly abandon you!"

Chu Xingyang was so anxious she coughed repeatedly: "I am a sinner who destroyed a universe; I should be abandoned!"

"If you won't go to the planets, then I will. The Great Deity Xingyang is the true deity."

"He has the ability and will treat you with benevolence!"

The finance minister Yu Lan immediately stroked her back gently, her face full of heartache: "Mother, don't get so agitated that you ruin your health. The Wei Wei here said that because of your excessive grief, you need long-term rest. You must also take your medicine on time!"

The surrounding people, unable to bear it, firmly voiced their thoughts.

"Great Mother God, please reside here for the time being. Stay by our side."

"As long as you are here, the Xueyang Civilization has not perished. Only then does our heart have something to rely on."

"Otherwise, even if we go to the planets here, we would just be soulless husks!"

Chu Xingyang finally began to understand that her children still could not accept the reality that their civilization had been destroyed.

These children weren't just protecting her; they also viewed her as their final inner support.

The Goddess wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and finally relented: "Fine, then we shall stay in this space city for now. However, if any of you want to live on the planets, you may do so at any time."

"This place is too unsuitable for long-term living; it's not good for your health either."

Hearing this, everyone broke into tears.

The Mother God had lost her divine power, yet she was still looking out for everyone.

The people within the Xingyang Civilization had an indifferent attitude toward these foreign refugees.

Hardly anyone even cared.

After all, the number was too small, only five thousand people in total. Moreover, with the space city reflecting the light of the two moons, it would be submerged in moonlight at night.

As for the daytime, not even a shadow could be seen.

So almost no one paid attention, and within a few short days, they had forgotten about this group of refugees from the parallel universe.

But Tu Kulei felt like he had a lump in his throat and could not sleep at night.

No matter what, he could not accept non-believers of the Xingyang God living in this Solar System.

Once, he even dispatched a battleship, wanting to turn the entire space city into ashes.

Fortunately, Yu Lan discovered it and stopped it in time, preventing the deaths of those three thousand-plus people.

Tu Kulei was furious at this: "By the Xingyang God, since when do we tolerate heretics living within the territory of the Xingyang Civilization?"

"This is simply blasphemy!"

Yu Lan retorted unceremoniously: "I already told you it was an order from the Bishop. If you're not satisfied, go talk to the Bishop directly, but do not resort to vigilante justice!"

Chu Xingyang easily dismissed Tu Kulei.

Because he had more important things to do; during this time, he had been racking his brains for a way to deal with 'Oblivion'.

After all, after that monster devoured the universe it was born in, it would surely follow the scent to his location.

When that time came, the monster would only be stronger and more troublesome than before.

But at this moment, the bickering of two pretty girls disrupted his train of thought.

Solia of the Main Universe stood with hands on hips, staring at her parallel-universe self, and said huffily: "Since you know the Bishop is the God, then you should understand. It's because I was the God's student that you were saved."

"In short, you were rescued because of my existence, so you should listen to me!"

"From now on, you are my subordinate. You, the luckiest person in the entire Three-Spiral System! From now on, you must call me 'Big Sister' and change your name to Suo Xiaoli!"

The refugee Solia was naturally defiant: "On what grounds? It was the Xingyang God who saved me, not you!"

"Why should I call you 'Big Sister'? You should call me 'Big Sister' instead. In our universe, I was quite the clever child prodigy. Otherwise, I wouldn't have vaguely guessed that the Bishop was the Xingyang God!"

The two beautiful young women were locked in a dispute.

The Main Universe Solia ran crying to the deity: "Teacher, she's bullying me. Please, I beg you to stand up for me!"

Chu Xingyang smiled and said: "Alright, alright, stop arguing."

After saying that, he turned to the girl from the parallel universe: "Since you've come here, follow the local customs. Being called Suo Xiaoli sounds quite nice too."

"A new universe, a new name, a new beginning!"

Solia immediately wiped the tears from her eyes and made a face at her newly recognized younger sister: "Hello, little sister. Big sister will take good care of you."

Seeing that her savior and deity had said so, Suo Xiaoli naturally had no further complaints.

She could only nod her head silently a few times.

Chu Xingyang felt that he couldn't come up with anything on his own, so he summoned many people to the Holy See.

Then, with a serious expression, he said: "Everyone, let's brainstorm. Think of a way to return to that universe and kill Oblivion. We must take the initiative; we cannot sit and wait for death!"

The crowd looked around in confusion.

That was the first time they had seen a battle where the God took the initiative to retreat. If even God had no way, what could they, as mortals, think of?

Just as everyone was at a loss.

Solia shifted her body and asked tentatively: "What if we bring a large number of static field generators? You know, those square boxes!"

After all, her actions had been restricted by that thing back then, so it had left a deep impression.

Chu Xingyang shook his head. He thought to himself that those things couldn't even trap an ordinary Sun God, let alone 'Oblivion', an existence even more powerful than himself with Dual God Power.

Suo Xiaoli's lips suddenly curled up, and she said loudly: "I actually have a method!"
