I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 734 - 28: Mother, Father

Whether it was an illusion or some other reason, every time Yun You saw Deng, she could vaguely smell a mysterious fragrance. It was somewhat similar to the scent of flowers, but Yun You couldn’t quite identify which flower it was, only feeling it was extremely pleasant, causing her to instantly let down all her defenses.

But after reviewing all her memories, Yun You understood why she liked this scent.

Calamity Demons often had volatile temperaments; after becoming Death Gods, they might even struggle to distinguish friend from foe. To avoid unnecessary conflict with these "children," the Stargazer specially formulated a perfume that, when applied, would induce a genetic-level fondness in Calamity Demons... It’s a bit of the Stargazer’s playful mischief.

But now... it seemed like it wasn’t the time to focus on such trivial details.

"What am I thinking?"

Yun You rubbed her forehead, trying hard to look around the large Cosmic Library, and scrutinized the smiling Deng, feeling dizzy.

Wasn’t she in Nest City No. 4? Wasn’t she in a coma due to the fight? How could she suddenly be transferred to the Cosmic Library?

Seeing this, Deng grinned, as if she could perceive her thoughts without words.

"No need to worry."

She waved her hand, casually explained, "I used a little trick to send you here. As far as you’re concerned, the Cosmic Library is probably the safest place in the world. You know, you’ve been asleep for three years."

"Three years?!!"

Upon hearing this number, Yun You’s breath suddenly halted.

How could it be... she was merely in a coma, how could she have slept for so long?

The situation outside was uncertain; in three years, drastic changes would surely occur!

Her heart was racing, unable to stop.

"But you don’t need to worry."

Deng changed her tone to comfort, "Lamia is here too, she’s very stable, hasn’t been affected."

"And, thanks to her..."

"Your battle coincidentally broke through the Tier Six bottleneck, coinciding with Lamia’s power gradually recovering and the ’Saint’s Remains’ you hold."

"During your coma, these two forces combined to help purge the impurities and scars from your body, reshaping your soul and body."

"The current you cannot be compared to your past; the barriers that have troubled countless powerhouses have been breached while you slept."

"You can feel it."

Upon hearing this, Yun You was somewhat dazed.

Fortunate through misfortune? Breakthrough?

She instinctively lowered her gaze toward her hands. They were still slender with little muscle, but beneath the skin seemed to flow an indescribable shine.

She tried, with a slight movement of intent, gently curling her fingers—

...

There was no earth-shaking commotion.

Yet at the moment her fingertips closed, the entire space of the Cosmic Library seemed to lightly tremble.

Not a physical vibration, but a ripple on the level of rules. The air around her palm became dense and heavy, and the light subtly refracted.

It was clear this resulted from space distortion.

A sense of power so immense it made even herself feel apprehensive awakened within her, roaring through her veins!

This sense of power was so vast she had no doubt that if she struck with full force, she would possess the ability to move mountains and fill seas... overturn continents.

And the strength to shatter a continent in an instant, in the real world, only one type of existence could possess.

That is a Tier Seven powerhouse.

True God.

Deng wasn’t lying; she truly... stepped into that legendary domain.

But strangely enough, this formidable force that could shake the heavens was like a clay ox entering the sea in front of Deng, revealing nothing.

Deng’s aura remained serene and unfathomable. This feeling was more mysterious than when facing Chen Zaikun at the Tier Six Peak.

"Tsk."

Deng clicked her tongue, her tone a bit bored.

"I thought after watching so many ’old movies,’ the first thing you’d do upon waking is bombarding me with questions, but instead you’re just staring blankly? This reaction is too dull, isn’t it?"

"Uh..."

Yun You was pulled back to reality by Deng’s blunt yet disdainful tone.

She rubbed her brow, somewhat helplessly said, "Indeed, there are many things I want to ask, but the biggest question is... how should I address you? Continue calling you ’Deng’? Or should I call you ’Stargazer’?"

The answer was actually quite obvious.

Yun You still remembered, the first time she met Deng at the Cosmic Library, she mentioned being bound by troublesome rules, unable to enter reality or leave her name behind.

Recalling it now, this completely aligns with the Stargazer’s vow to the Monarch, that "the entity will never set foot in reality, never intervene actively."

Deng’s mouth seemed to ripple slightly, as if smiling.

"Smart."

She candidly admitted.

"Deng is me, Stargazer is also me. Yet."

She lazily reclined on the sofa, smiled, "Ophelia Moon, this name is older. It was used when I was tinkering with bottles and jars in the lab... when my hair wasn’t gray from stress. Later, it became too troublesome, and no one would call it, so I just discarded it."

As she spoke, she waved casually, and a book floated from a nearby shelf, opening before her to reveal a steaming cup of milk tea.
