Alice and Ye Qingxue, both in a lovesick state, were outgoing and cheerful girls.
However, compared to the clingy Ye Qingxue, Alice was more independent.
Upon discovering that Lin Tianming had arrived at Holy Origin Valley, she also rushed over immediately to give Lin Tianming a big hug.
Lin Tianming wanted to see Alice too, so he didn't refuse.
Seeing Lin Tianming and Alice embrace at their reunion, Jiang Han was also happy for them.
The Thunder Dragon Emperor watched Alice with curiosity.
After hugging Lin Tianming and remembering that he hadn't yet answered her question, Alice smiled and asked again.
"Ming, I remember you and Teacher Jiang Han were going to the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss, weren't you? How come you ended up in Holy Origin Valley too?"
"It was the Queen who met me in the Genetic Heavenly Thunder Abyss. She saw that we had a connection and brought us here!"
After responding to Alice's question, Lin Tianming also asked her, "Alice, didn't I tell you to stay with Qingxue and the others in the Abandoned Land? How did you end up in the Genetic God Country too?"
Speaking of this, Alice turned to look at the Holy Origin Spirit King, "The Queen also brought me here. Yesterday, she came to the Abandoned Land and found me in Return to Heaven City. Thinking I looked very much like an elf, she invited me to come to Holy Origin Valley!"
Lin Tianming was a bit surprised, "You can come to the Genetic God Country like that?"
The Holy Origin Spirit King also spoke, "This child Alice hasn't gone through Genetic Ascension, yet she's as beautiful as an elf. I felt that it would be a pity for such a beautiful girl with elf-like looks not to choose the path of Genetic Ascension and become an elf, so I brought her here."
Hearing the Holy Origin Spirit King's words, Lin Tianming largely agreed.
"Indeed… Alice looks just as beautiful as a silver-haired elf… with a sunny and cheerful smile on her face, very infectious. It really would be a shame not to undergo Genetic Ascension to become a real elf!"
Lin Tianming praised earnestly, making Alice a bit embarrassed.
"Ming… don't talk nonsense, how am I an elf?"
Her blushing cheeks were especially adorable, causing Lin Tianming to irresistibly pinch her little face.
It was fortunate that she didn't choose the path of Mechanical Ascension in this life; otherwise, Lin Tianming wouldn't be able to touch her cute face.
Being pinched on the cheek by Lin Tianming in public, Alice's little face flushed even more intensely.
However, she didn't refuse such a close interaction with Lin Tianming.
[Ming really… pinching my face in front of so many people…]
[But the feeling of Ming pinching my face is so comfortable… I really like it!]
Alice's inner thoughts made Lin Tianming even more reassured in pinching her adorable cheeks.
He enjoyed pinching them, and she enjoyed being pinched; it was a win-win!
After an affectionate interaction, Lin Tianming said, "Alice, do you plan to become a Genetic Ascender here?"
Alice shook her head, "No, although we Awakeners who participated in the global Awakening Ceremony could switch to one of the three major Ascension paths in the middle, I don't feel it's necessary."
When it came to the issue of Alice undergoing Genetic Ascension, the Holy Origin Spirit King also spoke up.
"I persuaded her yesterday; she looks so much like an elf, it would really be a pity not to undergo Genetic Ascension and become an Elf God. However, she was adamant about not wanting to take the Genetic Ascension path.
To this, I have no alternative. If she doesn't want to, I won't force her."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianming pondered for a moment before saying, "If you don't want to, then don't. You're just as beautiful and adorable as an elf, Alice. Follow your own path with confidence!"
Alice had initially thought Lin Tianming would persuade her to take the path of Genetic Ascension.
If it was Lin Tianming, whom she loved the most, advising her, she would have followed his suggestion even if she didn't want to.
So when she first heard Lin Tianming support her decision, she was a bit stunned.
However, after a moment, she showed a happy smile, feeling supported and understood by her beloved.
"Yes, thank you for understanding, Ming. I'll do my best on the Mechanical Puppet Master path!"
The Holy Origin Spirit King thought it was a pity, but she didn't plan to force Alice.
It contradicted the way of Causality Law that she pursued.
She would still fulfill her previous promise to Alice.
The resources of Holy Origin Valley would also be made available to this beautiful girl who, without undergoing Genetic Ascension, was as beautiful as an elf.
Next, Lin Tianming, who was reunited with Alice, continued to follow the Holy Origin Spirit King to the rest area.
Arriving at the accommodation arranged for Lin Tianming and his party, there was also a banquet that the Holy Origin Spirit King had already ordered to be prepared.
After warmly hosting Lin Tianming and his group, the Holy Origin Spirit King was ready to leave.
"We, the Elf Clan of the Holy Origin Valley, are always hospitable to friends worth associating with. You can stay here as long as you like, and even after you leave, you are always welcome to visit us in the Holy Origin Valley!
I have some important matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first. If you need to find me, you can have the Elf Guards here take you to the Holy Source Hall of the Holy Origin Valley, where I am usually to be found."
"Um, Your Majesty the Queen, please take your time, you've really helped us a lot today!"
Lin Tianming was still very fond of this Queen who knew how to respect others, and he politely said farewell to her.
After the Holy Origin Spirit King left, Jiang Han and the Thunder Dragon Emperor also expressed that they had been running around all day and would like to rest.
"Friend Tianming, Teacher is a bit tired, I'll go rest first!"
"Lin Tianming, I'm going to rest as well, call me anytime if you need anything!"
"Um, have a good rest!"
Watching Jiang Han and the Thunder Dragon Emperor go to rest, soon it was just Lin Tianming and Alice left.
The two looked at each other and could see the joy of their long-awaited reunion in each other's eyes.
These two young men and women were not tired yet!
"Ming, do you want to rest? If not, I can take you to the Holy Origin Wish Pool in Holy Origin Valley, I heard that making a wish there is very effective!"
Alice was still very proactive and full of anticipation in proposing to go out and play together, just like when she used to take Lin Tianming around in the Heavenly City of the Beiyin Domain.
[Finally, I can be a guide and take Ming around for fun like in Heavenly City!]
[I hope Ming won't refuse, it's been so long since we've spent time alone together!]
Upon hearing Alice's eager voice, Lin Tianming naturally wouldn't refuse her suggestion.
"Sure! Alice, since you arrived a day before me, you'll be my guide!"
Receiving Lin Tianming's response, Alice's silver-haired elven smile became even happier.
"Um, Ming! I'll take you to the Holy Origin Wish Pool now, let's make a wish together!"
As she spoke, Alice could hardly wait to extend her jade hand to grasp Lin Tianming's big hand and lead him to the Holy Origin Wish Pool.
This long-missed feeling also reminded Lin Tianming of the beautiful memories he had with Alice in Heavenly City.
If there was anything worth protecting for him in the usually poorly regarded Beiyin Domain.
That would definitely be Alice!
It didn't take long before Alice had led Lin Tianming to the vicinity of the Holy Origin Wish Pool in a light run.
There were many Elf Gene Ascenders there, and most of them were in pairs.
The Holy Origin Wish Pool in Holy Origin Valley was a favored place for many elven couples.
"We're here, this is it, Ming! There are also many elves like us coming to make wishes, lively, isn't it?"
Alice's energetic voice also infected Lin Tianming, filling him with vigor.
"Um, it feels like we're back in Heavenly City, with you taking me to all these crowded places to play! I miss those days, and in the blink of an eye, both of us have become Gods!"
Lin Tianming's nostalgia also stirred Alice's memories.
Her cheeks were as adorable as red apples at the moment, looking like a shy silver-haired elf.
She said with a touch of emotion, "Ming, do you also miss our memories in Heavenly City?"
"Of course, I especially loved when you showed me the beautiful side of the Beiyin Domain, that sunny, bright, and infectious smile of yours!"
Lin Tianming really knew how to speak, Alice was now flattered and delighted.
Unable to contain her emotions, Alice suddenly moved forward, tiptoed, and mustered the courage to give Lin Tianming a quick kiss.
"Ming likes my sunny and bright smile so much, then I will always smile for you in the future!"
