This sentence was too heavy; Liu Sheng didn't dare to say it.
Moreover, who would dare to utter such blasphemous words directly under the Supreme God?
Liu Sheng recalled a glimpse she once caught of the Supreme God's full form in the Void Realm; although she couldn't remember the true appearance, the overwhelming pressure and the bone-deep fear were deeply etched in her memory.
Even just thinking about it now made her legs go weak and her forehead break out in a sweat.
Nangong Wan could see Liu Sheng's apprehension.
“This is my Weird Domain; It won't know.”
Liu Sheng looked puzzled, pointing to the sky: “So, this is?”
“Oh, that’s just me pulling the curtains open, not opening the window, don’t worry.”
This was very vivid, and Liu Sheng understood immediately.
“How do you define ‘belief’?”
Liu Sheng pondered for a moment, not answering, but asking this question.
Nangong Wan smiled slightly: “Alright, then I’ll rephrase the question: Do you think the Supreme God exists?”
“Yes, It does.” Liu Sheng now gave a definite and firm answer.
Nangong Wan looked at Liu Sheng with some surprise.
She didn't ask why, and continued with the next question.
“Then do you think, the Supreme God,” she paused, “is a true God?”
One sentence, straight to the core.
Liu Sheng didn't answer, just looked up at the sky.
Because she didn't know the answer either.
If it was merely to transcend all things in the world, then it should count, right?
But now she was no longer sure what “all things in the world” truly meant.
Because she knew that there were many, many “worlds” in the entire Universe.
The one she was in, the one the entire Tang Country was in, was just one of thousands of “worlds,” and only in this “world” did the Supreme God exist.
Perhaps It existed in other “worlds” too, but she had no way of knowing at the moment.
At least here, due to the Supreme God's existence, the tragic situation of the Weird Domain destroying the world was delayed, and a technology tree based on Spiritual Qi was lit up.
Many people could also gain transcendent power through the Supreme God.
It was just that she wasn't one of them.
Although she had sensed various inconsistencies through the unintentional peeking of the seven profound token, when it came to protecting the world and benefiting all living beings, the Supreme God deserved the title of “God.”
As for whether she believed or not, that was her freedom.
She didn't know Senior Sister Nangong's purpose in asking her, and although Senior Sister Nangong was Great Master Wen Weilan's beloved Senior Sister, they had only known each other for less than a day, so it was better to keep some things reserved.
Nangong Wan probably noticed the vigilance in Liu Sheng's eyes, smiled, and didn't press further.
“Come, I’ll take you on a tour of my Weird Domain.”
Liu Sheng didn't understand, but Nangong Wan set off immediately, so she could only follow Nangong Wan's footsteps, filled with questions.
As they walked, unknowingly, the familiar small bungalow appeared in Liu Sheng's sight amidst the black mist.
Just a few hours ago, she had been there with her Senior Brother and Senior Sister, picking out snacks and sitting by the door, slurping popsicles.
She hadn't expected Nangong Wan to bring her here.
“Senior Sister, why are we coming…” Liu Sheng couldn't help but ask.
She didn't want to eat snacks so late!
Senior Sister Nangong, however, smiled mysteriously and softly shushed her.
She didn't go inside, but stood not too far away, raising her hand to extract a virtual image of the entire convenience store into her palm.
This scene was magical; a miniature version of the convenience store, including the outdoor freezer and tables and chairs, floated in her hand, rotating on its own.
The outer wall of the entire convenience store was transparent, and Liu Sheng leaned in to look, able to see the tiny shelves, and the miniature snack bags on the shelves, even distinguishing the traces of their afternoon rummaging, and the empty spaces left by the purchased snacks.
What she had always been curious about behind the bead curtain was also clearly visible.
She saw the gigantic shopkeeper, now curled up like a tiny person in a dollhouse on the mattress in the back room of the convenience store; though described as curled up, it only referred to his posture, as his body size actually completely filled the entire room.
His toes were just pointing at an old television set placed high on a shelf on the wall; Liu Sheng recognized it as she had seen such an item in a Popular Science book.
The screen seemed to be showing some romantic program, with several men and women sitting together chatting.
The shopkeeper’s eyes, from the position of the ceiling, could just about see the content on the television by slightly tucking in his chin, over his mountainous belly.
The cracks in the room were stuffed with various snack wrappers, and he still held a large bag of potato chips in his hand, painstakingly moving his arm bit by bit to pour the remaining crumbs into his mouth.
Liu Sheng was wondering what Senior Sister Nangong was going to do when she saw Senior Sister Nangong extract a large chunk of Guai Qi from the air and stuff it into the miniature convenience store.
Then, this mass of Guai Qi seemed to have a consciousness, transforming its shape on its own, slowly turning into bags of snacks, automatically flying to fill the empty spaces.
And the other snacks also perked up, tidying themselves up and erasing the messy traces of being rummaged through.
Liu Sheng watched, dumbfounded.
【So, the producer of the three-no products is… Senior Sister Nangong.】
【I don’t dare to eat them anymore…】
【Senior Sister Nangong warned you too, it’s just that you didn’t listen.】
Subsequently, Senior Sister Nangong also gently pinched above the counter with her index finger and thumb, pulling out a dirty ledger from thin air.
As soon as the ledger was pulled out, it grew in size against the wind, becoming its normal size.
Senior Sister Nangong flipped to the latest page.
【April 18, 2074, Nangong Wan owed 176 yuan.】
Liu Sheng remembered that the shopkeeper had painstakingly calculated it and then, with his weak and shriveled arm, managed to write it down, so the handwriting was a bit distorted and ugly.
However, Liu Sheng saw that the previous few entries were all from 2064, and they were all normal income and expenditure records, unrelated to credit, and even more unrelated to “Nangong Wan.”
According to what Senior Brother and Senior Sister said, they came every day and it was charged to Nangong Wan, so how could there only be one entry?
And after all these years, there must have been many other students who came here, so why were there no records?
But Liu Sheng immediately knew the answer.
Nangong Wan directly drew a line across the last line of text with her finger, and the writing disappeared.
Then the ledger was put back under the counter.
“What’s wrong?” Nangong Wan felt Liu Sheng’s burning gaze and turned to smile back.
She tilted her head, stating matter-of-factly: “If there’s an IOU, it needs to be settled, right?”
【So, that’s how debts are cleared…】
【But, didn’t you all put the bill on her anyway?】
Liu Sheng felt a bit embarrassed.
Fortunately, Nangong Wan didn't actually pursue the matter.
Next, she pointed her finger, eliminating all the trash in the room, and transformed some of the remaining Guai Qi into new snacks, placing them by the giant creature’s hand.
“Thank you…” Liu Sheng seemed to faintly hear such a faint, trembling male voice coming from Senior Sister Nangong’s palm.
“Principal…”
“My God…”
