Half a month has passed since the heroes returned from Limbo.
San Francisco, Instant Marriage Bookstore.
"Oh my God, it's really Miss Louise!" Liam blushed and was at a loss. He looked at the lady in a dark blue suit who was sitting opposite him with a smile. He stood up for a while and wanted to shake hands with her, and was electrocuted for a while.
He retracted his hand, hiding it shyly behind his back, and sat down awkwardly.
No wonder he behaves like this.
After living for more than twenty years, he has always been unremarkable and ordinary. He has not even spoken a word to the local superheroes in San Francisco, but now he has received an exclusive interview from a famous cosmic reporter.
What a surprise, what a surprise.
From the moment he got the call yesterday afternoon until now, he felt like he was in a dream, especially now, when he saw a real person, it felt even more dreamy.
"Don't be nervous, Liam, it's just an ordinary interview." Louise knew how to make the interviewee relieve his tension. With a few words and a few calm but smiling expressions, the young man opposite him really relaxed.
"Okay, you ask, as long as I know, I will tell you everything."
"Are you the owner of this bookstore?" Louise looked around briefly.
The name of the bookstore is very interesting, but the furnishings inside the bookstore are not much different from ordinary street "book bars".
The store mainly deals in the sale and lending of second-hand collections of books.
There are two floors above and below, and the bookshelves are almost full of classic and old books.
The lobby on the first floor is almost 12 meters wide. The side facing the street is a large floor-to-ceiling glass window. There is a long bar next to the window, where you can drink coffee and read a book.
They are currently sitting at the bar near the corner.
"I run this store with my girlfriend Lisa. Lisa is cleaning out the books on the second floor. Do you want to ask her to come down?" Liam asked.
"No need to delay her work, my question is mainly related to you." After a pause, Louise asked: "Do you love her very much?"
"Of course, the name of this store is a testimony of our love."
Louise thought thoughtfully, "A week ago, you went hiking alone in the Rocky Mountains and got lost halfway, right?"
Liam suddenly said: "You also want to know about the 'New North Star' that has been rumored to be somewhat mysterious recently?"
"New Polaris? Why is it called that?" Louise asked curiously.
Liam said: "I also watched the interstellar news and knew that Polaris was destroyed during the Lann-Senagon War. From now on, we will never see it again, at least in the past few hundred years, we can see it."
Louise sighed: "Indeed, after a thousand years, our descendants will not know the 'North Star'."
"The star that guided me back is where the original North Star was, so I call it the New North Star."
Louise nodded and said, "Tell me about the scene at that time."
"Well, as you know, I lost my way in the hills, and the compass was like the hand of an epileptic patient, shaking constantly but irregularly.
What’s worse is that the sky continues to be cloudy and rainy, and you can’t even see the sun, not to mention the stars.”
"But you still walked out because of the 'North Star' that shouldn't have appeared." Louise said.
"Well, just when I was praying to God in the damp and cold tent, the sky suddenly lit up." There was a trace of obsession in Liam's expression. "That beam of light was so beautiful. It penetrated the heavy dark clouds and fell directly on me."
In front of me, it was like the gaze of God.
I stretched out my hand to touch the light, and I seemed to feel the warmth and love from God’s sight.
He is still saying to me - follow the light, it will guide the lost traveler back to his lover.
I don’t know why, but I felt very at ease, and without any hesitation, I immediately got up and chased it, and sure enough, I walked all the way north and out of the hills."
This was not the first time Louise had heard the story of the "New North Star", so she did not show any expression of surprise or doubt. She just asked: "Why did you return to your lover instead of your parents or friends?"
Liam thought for a while and said: "I guess there is a triggering mechanism for its appearance, and the triggering condition is missing my lover."
Louise was shocked, "What's the basis?"
Liam scratched the back of his head, shook his head and said with a giggle: "I was missing Lisa at the time, and I was looking forward to God to please let me come back to Lisa again.
Reporter Ryan, you don’t need to be too serious, I’m just guessing.”
But Louise said seriously: "You know, you are not the first person to see the 'New Polaris'."
Liam nodded and said, "No, I know. After I came back, I checked online for information about the 'New Polaris' and saw that several foreign netizens had experienced the same abnormality as me."
"What if I told you that in the past half month, there have been at least 890,000 'New Polaris Events'?" Louise said.
"I bought it 890,000 times, not 8 or 9 times?" Liam exclaimed.
"Not only people on earth can see the 'New Polaris', but almost every galaxy in the universe has the same 'Polaris Abnormality' evenly distributed."
"Even aliens can see it? But Polaris is only in the north of the earth!" Liam was even more shocked.
Louise sighed: "This is the reason why I gave up on the big news such as 'New Galaxy Order', 'Rebirth of Zhenglian', 'Zhenglian and Secret Society', etc., and came to you specifically to learn about the new North Star.
For the ancients, the appearance of a new star above the head became at most a local legend.
But now is the era of interstellar civilization with prosperous science and technology.
Star maps have long been studied thoroughly by astronomers, and it is very unusual for such a bright star to suddenly appear."
Liam calmed down instead, "Obviously, this is not a scientific phenomenon, but there is nothing strange about it.
Even the God of War from heaven appeared in front of people. I even witnessed the whole process of the second Lucifer being defeated by the God of War with his wisdom in the first fighting arena in the universe.
Nothing could be more fantastic than that."
Silently, Louise took out the 9-inch Paradise Mountain pro tablet from her backpack and showed Liam the alien news she had translated herself in the past few days.
"Stars above, can you believe it? I escaped from the most terrifying 'Misty Swamp' in the Scorpion River System with only an escape capsule." A red-skinned alien with horns on his forehead said excitedly to the camera
Said: "Amida should have heard my prayer and sent the messenger of the stars to save me.
Dear Dida, I love you and I will go back to see you right away."
"The Misty Swamp is a 'Galaxy Canyon' that stretches for 125 light years. You can think of that place as a lost hell in the starry sky. Space battleships carrying the most advanced instruments may get lost in it.
Armida is this gentleman’s ‘god’, and Dida is his lover.” Louise introduced.
"This is not normal and unscientific!" In the second video, a four-legged crawling "dinosaur man" appeared, "I praise that star, it saved me.
But it also shattered my scientific worldview.
Can you believe it? I saw two figures on it, like human beings walking upright, without scales or armor, a man and a woman, embracing each other and smiling at each other."
"Is it hallucinating? New Polaris is very bright, and you can't see anything on it," Liam said.
Louise shook her head and said: "He is telling the truth, because like Tearman, he also has super eyesight, so he should not be mistaken."
"This" Liam, who is well-read, immediately thought of the "Moon Palace" of the Celestial People. On that planet there was a beautiful fairy and a powerful man who sweated profusely.
"In the 890,000 incidents, almost everyone in despair aroused strong longing for their lover, and then encountered the 'new North Star'.
There must be more than 890,000 lost course events in the universe, and the rest of the people are not lucky enough to see the guiding star." Louise said.
Liam murmured longingly: "So, it is a magic planet that symbolizes and protects love? How romantic. Which kind and lovely god created it?"
Another week has passed.
Quinn Manor, evening in the autumn of 2019.
Spacious martial arts arena.
A dozen men and women were busy busy with something.
"BOOOOM!"
A thick column of air exploded in the sky, and Harley, dressed in loose casual clothes, stepped out of the sonic boom.
"Harry, you are finally back!" Everyone looked up and were all overjoyed.
Especially Ivy, who had only seen Harley again for nearly a month, was particularly happy and almost couldn't help but fly up and give her a big hug.
"What are you doing?" Harley glanced around and asked in surprise.
There were many people at the scene, including not only the ladies of the manor, several of her apprentices, Barbara, Dick, Jason, but also Dark Phoenix Dinah and her lover Green Arrow, as well as the manor housekeeper Angela, and her fat son Harry.
They moved the coffee table out of the living room, and the two-meter-long, one-meter-wide amethyst coffee table was filled with fruits, food, a very conspicuous incense burner, and a pair of candles - Harry looked at it
At a glance, I found that it was taken from my black magic meditation room.
"I'm worshiping the God of Love. Come over, it's very effective." Ivy waved to her excitedly.
"This seems to be a Chinese-style worship model. Today -" Harry thought for a moment and said in surprise: "Today happens to be the Lunar Mid-Autumn Festival. Are you guys worshiping the Chinese goddess Chang'e?"
"Not only Chang'e, but also her lover Wu Gang." Selena said with a smile.
The corner of Harry's mouth twitched, "You are so 'devout', so you should stop praying.
If Chang'e really exists, she may not necessarily favor you if you don't worship her, but she will certainly not bring you bad luck.
Now that you are worshiping, you will all be in bad luck."
"Don't Chang'e like to be believed in by mortals?" Dinah asked doubtfully.
"You go to the Church of the God of War and pray to the God of War in Heaven - hope that the God of War in Heaven and her good friend Lucifer Desire will bless the health of the whole family. How do you think the God of War in Heaven will react?" Harley asked.
"Uh" Dinah was stunned, "You mean, Wu Gang and Chang'e are enemies?"
"Are there only two relationships in the world: lovers and enemies?"
"But, there are only two of them on the moon, a man and a woman, deserted and lonely. Moreover, someone saw her and Wu Gang hugging each other, full of sweet love." Dinah said.
"Who saw it?" Harley asked in surprise.
Is it possible that among the many divine realms in the Heaven Realm, there are still gods from the Celestial Dynasty?
"Many people, including aliens and earthlings"
Ivy took out her mobile phone and quickly showed her a series of special topics on the famous character in the universe, Lois Lane.
Well, she has made this "little thing" about the new Polaris into big news that has caused a sensation all over the world. She has also put together several programs and made it into a series.
In her report, she first described in detail many stories of "New Polaris" rescuing lost "lovers" based on facts.
Then, we interpret this phenomenon from the perspective of science and magic, and conclude that it is definitely not science, but must be magic.
Many galaxies in the universe see the same bright stars, which is very unscientific in astronomy.
Since it is not scientific, it can only be magic.
Since it is magic, it is 80% related to the gods.
After it was reported in the news that aliens used "telescopic vision" to see two figures on the stars, another earthling used a real telescope to see two people leaning against each other. In addition, the light was bright but soft.
Much like the light of the moon, Louise used "Moon Fairy" for the first time to refer to the gods in the stars.
Ivy explained: "After the news spread, the Fairy of the Moon Palace who rescued travelers in distress immediately became everyone's recognized god of love."
Not only us, aliens first called her the ‘Guardian of Love’, and even regarded her as the goddess of love in their own pantheon.
However, the Star of Love appears in front of all the "lovers" in distress across the universe, and no one is sure which pantheon the two gods above belong to.
We think of them as Chang'e and Wu Gang, just because in the earth's mythology, their images and stories are the only ones that match them."
Harry said strangely: "Don't you know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for family and friends to reunite, not a festival of love? If we really want to copy it mechanically, we might as well change it to the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
"But the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl doesn't match up! They are separated by a bridge, not on the same planet." Ivy said.
Harley laughed, feeling a little proud.
She raised her chin slightly and said, "Actually, you all worshiped the wrong god. I am the god of love."
"What?" Everyone was confused or confused.
Harley laughed and said: "I created that star, and the people on it are not gods, they are Superman and Lois.
Hahaha, Louise made a big mistake this time, she didn’t even recognize herself.”
"What's going on?" the women asked quickly.
Harley's eyes swept over several big heroes and little heroes, "Don't you ever wonder why it appeared just after we came back from Limbo?"
"Ah, it has something to do with Heroes' Paradise?" Green Arrow exclaimed.
Harley nodded with a smile, "It is the Hero's Paradise. Of course, we can't call it that now.
Well, let me think about Harley Star, Harley Love Star, and Love God Harley Star, which one do you think is better?"
The corners of Dinah's mouth twitched and she said, "It's all very unpleasant, Taicun."
Harley tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Let's call it 'Hallelujah'. When you see it, shout 'Hallelujah, long live Halle'."
"But why did the Heroes' Paradise become the 'Love Star'? Isn't it in the sixth dimension?" Green Arrow asked puzzledly.
"Didn't the North Star of our galaxy explode? I originally planned to use my final authority to fix it to the true north of the Earth and serve as the upper replacement of the North Star.
Unexpectedly, fate has played a trick on people, and it has become the love compass of the whole universe.
But that’s okay, I’ll say it later, and let the aliens and earthlings know that Harley, the god of war, also has a gentle and emotional side.
In addition to being good at fighting, it also symbolizes unwavering love, hahahaha."
