Chapter 625: Yuuji Sakai's Promise

Mu Qingzhi told the Sacrifice Snake about her plan in as much detail as possible.

She originally thought that the other party would ask more questions, but what she didn't expect was that after listening to her story, the Sacrifice Snake just glanced at her with a slightly strange look, and then nodded very straightforwardly.

"Okay, there is no problem cooperating with you. I have already made it clear at the beginning that as long as your plan does not interfere with the creation of the new world itself, anything is fine."

"Uh... So you agree?"

Looking at the Sacrifice Snake in front of her, Mu Qingzhi couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Why should I refuse?"

Lowering his head, the Sacrifice Snake looked at her calmly.

"According to your plan, whether it is the Fire Mist or the Apostles, or the Red World or the New World, they can all get the greatest benefits, and I don't have to pay anything. But you, are you really willing to give it up?"

Without giving her a chance to speak, the Sacrifice Snake looked at the retreating Fire Mist in the distance and continued to speak.

"I admit that your plan is indeed quite perfect. You are willing to put yourself in the game and end the thousands of years of grievances between the Fire Mist and the Apostles. In your plan, no one will pay anything, and the only sacrifice is yourself. But have you ever thought that after that, you will be despised by everyone in the world and become a complete taboo. By then, even if it is..."

"No, you are wrong. No one will sacrifice, and I won't either."

Shaking his head, Mu Qingzhi interrupted the other party's words.

"I am actually not as selfless as you think. Doing this is also for my own benefit."

"...How do you say it?"

After a short silence, the Sacrifice Snake turned his head and looked at her.

"Don't worry, our conversation was blocked by me at the beginning, and he won't know these things."

"Well... you should know that I'm not from this world, right?"

After thinking for a while, Mu Qingzhi looked up at the other party and asked tentatively.

"You should have talked to her before, so..."

"Of course, for this world, the people of the Red World are also visitors from another world."

The body stiffened inexplicably, interrupting her words, the sacrificial snake nodded.

"Visitors from another world are not a new term for me. It's just that you come from another world outside the Red World."

"Huh... since you can understand, then it will be much easier to communicate."

Looking at the chaotic battlefield below, Mu Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief and started talking.

"As you understand, outside the Red World and the present world, the rest of the world is endless, and each world has its own rules. Generally speaking, the worlds exist independently of each other, and the intersection between the Red World and the present world is a special case. I am not simply from a certain world, but a passer-by wandering in various worlds... or a traveler."

"Traveler... so what?"

The eyes flickered slightly, and the Sacrifice Snake looked at her.

"If that's the case, why do you spend so much effort on this world? If you have other needs, it's understandable, but you don't seem to have any needs at all. What are the interests you and she are pursuing?"

"Uh, this..."

[Let me talk about this question. ]

Before Mu Qingzhi thought about how to answer, the system's voice suddenly rang.

"You are her... No, you are another one?"

Unconsciously, the Sacrifice Snake frowned slightly.

[Well~ almost, she is now my personal maid, because of some reasons, she can't show up for the time being, so let me talk about it. 】

The tone of the system was full of calmness.

[Didn't you just ask us what we want? What we want is the order of the world and a perfect ending.]

"Then according to what you said, aren't you saints?"

Looking at the girl in front of him, the sacrificial snake raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Or even if you are a saint, you are not as selfless and generous as you?"

[Saint? Strictly speaking, we are the guardians of the order of time and space, responsible for maintaining the stability of each time and space and the world. Our power comes from all living things. 】

Rarely, the tone of the system became serious.

[Because of an accident, I, as a guardian, was seriously injured and exiled to this time and space. Repairing my injuries and returning to the battlefield are the benefits we seek. 】

"...What about you?"

As if thinking about something, the sacrificial snake looked at Mu Qingzhi.

"Me? I'm just a miserable worker."

Shrugged slightly, Mu Qingzhi spread his hands in front of him.

"The one you just talked to is my unscrupulous and black-hearted boss. Under her oppression, I live a life of misery every day, not to mention the days..."

[She is the heir chosen by me. ]

The system interrupted her words very straightforwardly.

[More, I believe she had already told you at that time, from the beginning to the end, our interests are the wishes of all living beings. ]

"The wishes of all living beings... Got it."

After a long silence, closed his eyes, and nodded the sacrificial snake.

"After that, you will leave, right?"

[Under the premise that there are still pursuers behind us, we cannot stay in one world for too long, and turn everything we have done in this world into a taboo that cannot even be mentioned, which is exactly the same as our original Goals match. 】

"...So, will you come back in the future?"

Opening his eyes, the ritual snake lowered his head and looked towards Mu Qingzhi.

"Come back? After the pursuit of the soldiers is dealt with, I will definitely come back if I have time. Everything I have experienced in this world is not an illusion. There are also existences in this world that I care about. How could it be possible? Walk away in style?"

While looking boredly at the battle below that was gradually calming down, Mu Qingzhi curled her lips.

"Also, when my black-hearted boss recovers, maybe I can..."

"I'll wait for you to come back."

Before Mu Qingzhi finished speaking, a voice that was different from that of the ritual snake reached her ears.

"Well……"

Looking at Yuji Sakai who was looking at him seriously in front of him, Mu Qingzhi couldn't help but feel dumbfounded after a moment of confusion.

"No...when did you hear those words?"

"...All of them, the Ritual Snake shared that memory with me."

After a moment of silence, looking at the girl in front of him who subconsciously took two steps back, Yuji Sakai turned around and looked into the distance.

"Don't worry, I will help you."

"...This is my initial commitment."
