Volume 13: The Lights in the Sky Are All Enemies Chapter 5: Garden of Life (Part 1)
Garden of Life.
The second level of the Saints' Residence is a noble place where only those who have made great contributions to the Holy Light Sequence can live.
The location of the entire Saint's Residence is not anywhere in the physical sense. Strictly speaking, the nature of this place is similar to the mental state space such as nightmare space or subspace. Because the physical place is too fragile and meaningless, for many strong people, just existing will cause the collapse and annihilation of matter.
Just like the great enemy Bahamut back then, he himself is an active planet with a complete ecosystem inside, and it is almost impossible for him to be a seated figure. Even if we reluctantly treat a monster of Bahamut's size as a so-called guest, we should not forget that there are even larger creatures behind him. For example, huge creatures whose volume even requires light years to calculate, and those monsters that are almost infinite in the void. Some of these have also joined the ranks of the Holy Light, but it is completely impossible to integrate them according to normal thinking.
Therefore, the residence of sages came into being. It is not built in any space in the material sense. All power and volume are meaningless. Any existence can coexist equally in this residence of sages.
You don't have to worry about any injuries, nor do you have to worry about your spirit being blocked when communicating with the big guys . It is a protective measure and also a supreme honor.
As a place second only to the first class, the Garden of Life is home to heroes who have made great contributions in history or today. They are all famous writers in the universe, or powerful warriors, strong men who have reversed some basic concepts, or other similar characters. In general, they are not normal geniuses. As the second step after the first step nicknamed the Martyrs' Garden, the Garden of Life can be said to be the top of many people's struggle.
But looking at this great occasion based on the intellect of the soul, Li Lin did not feel much honor or faith. It was better to say that he was still in an inexplicable state of confusion. Because Li Lin really didn't know what was going on here. Even the notification panel was a blank betrayal, as if there was nothing here.
However, Li Lin, who was standing in the same place, could feel a very strong gaze, as if someone was hiding in the shadows and plotting against him. He had felt like a thorn in his back since he came here.
But maybe if you think about it, it should be the senior here?
Looking at the surrounding scenery with a frown, Li Lin was a little unsure what the Holy Light Sect was up to.
"Is this a trial? It doesn't look like that's the reason. Do you just want me to hang out here?"
If I want to kill time, I can just hang out in the library...
He tried to escape from the Garden of Life, but all he got was a reminder that he couldn't escape from the special scene. Li Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise at the inexplicable development, thinking that the situation seemed to be getting interesting. So he waited slowly and leisurely beside him.
There are many options in the idle space. Li Lin picked a novel and started reading it without any hurry, letting time pass by. As the name suggests, the Garden of Life is a garden full of life. Except for the light golden building like the pavilion at the foot of the mountain where Li Lin is, other places are full of lush green trees and grasslands, which looks very harmonious and peaceful.
What was surprising was that, although it was a pure consciousness space, it completely simulated the five senses and six consciousnesses. Whether it was the warm sunlight shining from the sun or the moist but not gloomy air from the forest, everything was like being in a building next to the forest. It even reminded Li Lin of the pure air he breathed in the park during his time in the Moon City. In a pure consciousness space like the Garden of Life, it was not impossible to create scenes in reality, but it still required human operation.
In other words, in this place that was surrounded by towering trees and various vines but not at all eerie and scary, there seemed to be more than one person besides Li Lin. Because instead of believing in some special laws of nature, Li Lin believed more in the fact that this game would never get stuck.
So as expected, after Li Lin waited for nearly ten minutes, a figure like a chameleon walked out of the control room deep in the forest.
The figure looked hesitantly in the direction of Li Lin, then walked over slowly and tilted his head to look at what was in Li Lin's hand.
For NPCs, all these systems provide is a blank slate.
So facing Li Lin's skillful action that seemed to be turning pages in the air, this chameleon-like figure finally couldn't hold back and started speaking.
"…Are you reading? Is it interesting?"
"It's quite interesting, but it's just to pass the time."
"Why are you killing time? You should have more important things to deal with, right?"
"No reason, I was just waiting for someone. And now I have waited for someone, am I right?"
Looking at the figure behind him who had shed his chameleon disguise, Li Lin could hardly hold back a smile on his face.
It was a little girl with silver hair. She was wearing a white robe similar to Li Lin's. As if to emphasize her status, she even wrapped a red ribbon around her shoulders. She looked playful and cute, and didn't look like she lived in a high-class place like Life Garden.
In addition to being used as a reward, the rest of the work in the Saint's Residence is varied, but none of them requires a young girl to do it. Strictly speaking, Li Lin felt very strange to sneak into this place, and now a little girl appeared in the depths of the Garden of Life. Before it was funny, Li Lin's first thought was whether he had made a mistake, and he subconsciously blinked.
After confirming that the girl in front of him seemed to be a real member of Life Garden, Li Lin sighed slightly.
"I didn't expect to see children in the core area of Holy Light like Life Garden. It's really a magical scene."
"Me? I'm a ghost."
"Hmm? A ghost?"
"Yes, it's a ghost who died seven hundred years ago. Now he's revived in the Garden of Life through obsession and wants to sneak out~ That's it."
The silver-haired girl jumped in the woods, turned around and said to Li Lin with a bright smile:
"You have to keep the last sentence secret from others, okay?"
