Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1463 - 718: We Saw the Future We Hoped For (Part 3)

Before the two even came out from inside, the crowd of tens of thousands was already boiling.

Word spread like wildfire, and soon everyone knew that Xu Xin and the others were coming back!

And right at that moment, the purple-black vortex portal flared with light, and Xu Xin and Xu Ying jumped out of it.

”Ah!! It really is Xin God!!”

”Ying God is back too!!”

”Brother Xin... damn, don’t push!”

”Are you all crazy! Watch out for a stampede!”

”Holy crap, this bunch of fanatics...!!”

”Xin God!!”

”Ying God!!”

”What’s even going on, didn’t they all already know that Brother Xin and his sister are the same as us, people from a thousand years ago?”

”That’s what faith is...”

”Shit, don’t shove!”

Xu Xin and Xu Ying had never imagined that the moment they came out, they’d be greeted by such a ”grand occasion.”

Luckily, these fanatics weren’t the same as crazed celebrity stans—they knew they were supposed to keep their distance from ”gods,” so they didn’t swarm forward.

They were all crammed up front, kneeling on the ground, then collectively quieted down and stared at Xu Xin and Xu Ying with extremely fervent eyes.

And the ones in the crowd who weren’t devotees were infected by the atmosphere too, and didn’t quite dare to speak.

In an instant, the originally noisy inside of the World Tree fell silent—so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

”Uh...”

Xu Xin and Xu Ying were even a little startled by the scene in front of them.

What the hell is this?

Were they this fanatical before?

You have to know, Xu Xin had already gotten somewhat familiar with them before, and they no longer tried to prostrate themselves every time they met.

But now, why were they starting up again?

”Because I told them you were going to stab the alien invaders right in their lair.”

Ji Chaoyang clearly saw Xu Xin’s confusion and explained with a smile.

”Right now they all believe you’re the one who can completely drive the alien invaders off Earth—a true god.”

So that’s how it is. Xu Xin was a bit speechless.

Good grief.

Being stared at by this lot like that, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Xu Ying’s eye twitched slightly too; she sidestepped and hid behind Xu Xin: ”Bro, maybe we should go talk somewhere else.”

Don’t even mention the two who were being stared at—Ma Hongwei and the others behind Ji Chaoyang, under this weirdly quiet, all-eyes-on-them kind of situation, were so choked up they couldn’t get a word out either.

”Uh... yeah, let’s change locations.”

Xu Xin nodded lightly.

”Alright, you guys, gather up.”

Xu Ying took the Explorers and vanished from where they stood.

Leaving behind a field of silent devotees.

Three seconds later, heated discussion erupted again!

”Brother Xin and the others are back!”

”They succeeded, right?! They must’ve succeeded!”

”Look, Brother Xin doesn’t have a scratch on him, looks like it went super smoothly!”

”Haha! I knew it! Those four giant ships crashing was definitely Xin God and Ying God showing their power!”

”Uh... I don’t think that’s it?”

”Why did only the two of them come back? Where’s Sister Gui Xin?”

”Yeah, where’s Brother Lei? I don’t see him either?”

”Don’t tell me... they sacrificed themselves...?”

”Bullshit, what are you on about? Brother Xin has that wristband that can store living beings, remember?”

”Oh right right right!”

”Uh... we were too fanatical, and ended up scaring Brother Xin and the others off...”

”If it were me I’d run too—a bunch of people dropping to their knees the second they see you and then staring like maniacs...”

”Who are you calling a maniac!”

”Don’t you dare disrespect our gods!”

”Hey hey, I’m a drinking buddy who’s actually shared booze with your gods, okay!”

”That’s nothing! I was the first person Brother Xin met when he came here!”

They’d all been in a heavy mood earlier—after all, they’d abandoned the World Tree where they’d lived for several months and fled out here.

But now, they all relaxed and became cheerful.

Mainly because Xu Xin and Xu Ying’s return made the largest group—the fanatics—perk up fast.

...

Outside the World Tree.

At the edge of the island, waves crashed against the reefs.

Xu Xin had just released everyone else from the wristband.

”We’re finally out... what the—?! Why are we on some island?”

Wang Lei had been sitting when he came out; the moment he saw the scenery around them he sprang to his feet.

”Mm...” Zeng Tao and Lou Fei’Er had been leaning together asleep; suddenly released, they both rubbed their eyes and stood up, ”What’s going on... we’re already back...?”
