"Take care." The Alchemist Messenger respectfully saw Xu Lie off. Xu Lie rubbed the Azure Blue Ring on his thumb and index finger, reflecting on the identity of an Outer God.
The Shendai World, also a realm of magic, was said to have been created at a staggering cost by that Senior Actor, who forged this pantheon of deities. This elevated the entire magical world's limits. After modifying the world, it likely provided the Senior Actor with considerable logistical support.
Only now, when the Senior Actor had little use for it, was it opened up as a travel destination. Because of this, the deities in this world were particularly enthusiastic towards the Outer God. Take Xu Lie's visit to the Alchemist God as an example; he was merely here to take a stroll, ostensibly for sightseeing. Yet, the Alchemist God welcomed him with great warmth and casually gifted him several pieces of Alchemy works.
With the leading deity being so hospitable, many Alchemist Messengers hurried to show their courtesy, presenting him with various items. This trip proved to be immensely profitable for Xu Lie, far exceeding any ticket price he might have paid.
Xu Lie couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration; indeed, such big shots had so much to offer, and the travel ticket prices were surprisingly low—purely a boon for fellow actors. Once he became successful in the future, he would consider opening a few travel worlds himself to help uplift younger actors and share some fortune.
With less than a month left, he intended to explore as much as possible. Xu Lie approached Tuha, who had been waiting outside and took out a token once again. With a wave that tore through space, Tuha sent Xu Lie to the Lake Palace.
As he watched Xu Lie enter the palace, Tuha felt increasingly contemplative. He had been part of the divine realm's staff for quite some time and had hosted numerous Outer Gods. However, it was his first time encountering an Outer God so eager for knowledge.
This Knowledge God from another world must have left an indelible mark in his original realm's history. Inspired by this encounter, Tuha couldn't help but question himself: Should he pursue more knowledge instead of idly spending his days merely attending to Outer Gods?
Unbeknownst to Xu Lie, who was unaware of Tuha's inner thoughts, he entered the main hall of the palace and found eighteen maids seated at desks like students in class. They appeared dazed as they diligently copied scrolls of books. All of them were residents of the divine realm who had voluntarily come to serve the Outer God, hoping to bask in the radiance of divinity.
Perhaps with a stroke of luck, one might gain the favor of the divine. But what happened instead? Here she was, stuck with this cursed book! It was maddening; they were truly at their wits' end.
There were rumors that in the Shendai World, this particular book was considered standard material, printed in large quantities. Xu Lie could simply ask Tuha for a copy. However, the scrolls of Magic Books were different; they belonged to a unique secret art, existing as a one-of-a-kind manuscript, imbued with various protective enchantments to prevent mass printing.
Ordinary people could only dream of obtaining such rare editions. It was only because Xu Lie held the identity of an Outer God that Tuha could assist in acquiring it. Faced with such a unique manuscript, the maids could only laboriously use Feather Pen Magic to transcribe it automatically. While they didn’t have to do it by hand, it was exhausting; this was nothing like the glorious service they had imagined while serving the divine!
Well, well. Seeing the maids working so diligently only brightened Xu Lie's mood further. With her fishing rod in hand, she prepared to head out: "You all keep up the good work."
The maids, witnessing Xu Lie's cheerful demeanor, suddenly felt a pang of sadness as they recognized their disparity in status.
Arriving at the lake, Xu Lie acted grandly, using her space Ring to pour out feed—this had just been gifted by a certain Alchemist Messenger for fishing purposes. After spreading it out, the water level of the lake rose slightly.
Various Lingyu surged and swarmed eagerly for food, crowding together so densely that one could hardly fish; just reaching in would likely yield a handful. Yet Xu Lie chose not to catch any; instead, she cast her line and casually took out her Magic Books to read and study, enjoying her leisure time.
Over the next two weeks, Xu Lie reaped significant rewards as she continuously visited the God of Potions, Fate Goddess, Soul God, and Death God among other deities.
