Chapter 469 Little Saintess’S Clone?
Chapter 469 Little Saintess’S Clone?
This little Elf is different from the Primordial Elf.
The Primordial Elf doesn't know where the things it eats go, but it can eat a lot.
This little Elf only nibbled on half a lollipop and already feels full.
She lazily lies in Chen Yu's palm, contentedly rubbing her slightly bulging belly.
After playing with the little Elf for so long, Chen Yu suddenly remembers the purpose of coming to this place.
He entered this world through the teleportation gate left by the little Saintess.
So, where are the clues left by the little Saintess?
Chen Yu releases his spiritual power and tries to find them.
This world is small, with a total area of only two kilometers.
There is only a grassland and an orchard in the entire world.
The little Elf is the only creature that can speak, and she speaks the language of the Lightwing Empire.
"Little Elly, are you the only one here?" Chen Yu pokes the soft belly of the little Elf.
"There's you too!" The little Elf says naturally.
"Uh, okay." Chen Yu is momentarily speechless.
"Um, you have been living here all alone, right? How long have you been in this place?" Chen Yu asks.
"For a long, long time! Little Elly doesn't remember anymore." The little Elf bites her finger, looking pensive.
"Has anyone else been here before?" Chen Yu asks again.
"No! You're the first person to come here. Little Elly likes you and wants to play with you!" The little Elf happily flies around Chen Yu.
Chen Yu chuckles.
This little Elf is completely childlike in personality.
He doesn't know how long she has been alive.
Years of loneliness have prevented her from any mental growth.
"By the way, Little Elly, do you remember when you came here? Who brought you here?" Chen Yu asks.
"Little Elly was born here!" The little Elf says.
"You were born here?" Chen Yu is taken aback. "But you said you've always been alone. How were you born?"
"Of course, I was born by my mom!" Little Elly says matter-of-factly. "Aren't you born by your mom?"
"..." Chen Yu's mouth twitches.
He thought the little Elf was a naturally born creature, but it turns out there is a parent as well.
"Okay, let me ask you again. Where did your mom go? Who taught you to speak? Who told you about the existence of demons?"
The little Elf tilts her head, looking puzzled at Chen Yu.
"No one taught me. I just knew it from birth."
"As for demons, my mom taught me."
"Mom is also Little Elly. Mom gave birth to Little Elly and then died, turning into a fruit tree..."
"Little Elly gave birth to another Little Elly, and that Little Elly also turned into a fruit tree..."
"But Little Elly is still Mom..."
"Um, Mom didn't go anywhere. Mom is Little Elly. Mom knows, so Little Elly knows. Um, Little Elly doesn't know either."
"Wuwuwu~"
After explaining for a while, the little Elf confuses herself and finally squats in Chen Yu's palm, feeling wronged.
However, Chen Yu still understands what the little Elf means.
This little Elf should be a peculiar self-circulating creature.
After giving birth to offspring, the mother immediately dies and her body becomes a fruit tree.
But only the physical body dies, and memories are passed down from generation to generation.
Even if there is no communication between generations, the offspring will not be completely ignorant of the world.
Or, one could say that this peculiar creature never dies, she just undergoes "molting" time and time again.
However, each time after "molting," it is equivalent to a rebirth.
The inherent personality may be different.
This method of rebirth seems to be a way to combat long-lasting loneliness.
To confirm her own thoughts, Chen Yu asked again:
"Xiao Aili, can you give birth to a baby on your own?"
"Of course, anytime~" Xiao Aili replied.
"But Xiao Aili doesn't want to give birth to a baby. If Xiao Aili gives birth to another Xiao Aili, she will die."
"Xiao Aili doesn't want to die. Xiao Aili wants to play with you."
"The reason why mothers give birth to Xiao Aili and die is because no one wants to play with them~"
"Indeed." Chen Yu nodded to himself.
In reality, Xiao Aili has always been just one.
Birth and death are merely a means of self-renewal.
Just like formatting a hard drive after important files have been backed up.
Once this issue is understood, it becomes much easier.
Clearly, the message left by the little Saintess is on this little Elf.
It is her "important file."
"Lucifer Agares asked you to tell me something?" Chen Yu asked solemnly.
"Huh?" The little Elf looked confused.
Chen Yu paused for a moment, pondered, and asked again:
"Chen Yu asked you to tell me something?"
This time, he spoke in Chinese.
Each word was enunciated clearly and correctly.
In that instant, the little Elf suddenly froze.
Then, her demeanor changed.
From silly and innocent, she transformed into gentle and playful.
In her eyes as she looked at Chen Yu, there was deep longing and joy.
"You, you finally came."
"I've been waiting for you for so long—"
"I knew it, you would definitely appear again."
"What, what happened to you?" Chen Yu exclaimed in astonishment. "How did you become like this?"
"Don't worry." The little Elf smiled faintly. "This is not the real me."
"It is a clone created by exchanging my own soul fragments."
"Just like the original Hesiod—"
"Phew—" Chen Yu breathed a sigh of relief. "I understand."
"You have used every means possible to carefully hide yourself here. What is it that you want to tell me?"
"Where are you now?"
"Where?" The little Elf smiled. "I don't know either."
"Perhaps you have already replaced the Supreme Lord and taken control of the Heavenly Paradise."
"Or perhaps you have completely fallen and entered the Abyss."
"Or maybe you have become a ruler in a certain domain, occupying a place in the endless world."
"But since you have found your way here, it is likely that you cannot do any of those."
"Now, the most probable possibility is that you are hiding in some unknown corner, using a pseudonym, observing the conflicts of this world, waiting for the right moment to act."
Chen Yu couldn't help but complain, "You're saying all this but not really saying anything."
"Don't play dumb with me, you know I don't like it!"
"If your butt is itching, just say it directly, I'll satisfy you!"
"Why are you being mean~" The little Elf pouted in grievance.
"I've been waiting for you for 47 million years, and this is how you treat me?"
