Chapter 37: The Clockwork Goddess Alice! Even in a New Life, You Can't Escape Her!

[The system has automatically bound the Clockwork Goddess Alice within range for the host. The host can perfectly eavesdrop on the Clockwork Goddess Alice's thoughts!]

[Alice, the foremost young genius among the awakened abilities users of the Northern Yin Domain, possesses an SSS-level talent as a master puppeteer. She is the most promising non-mechanical divine nation human for mechanical ascension in the future.

In the previous life before rebirth, Alice met the original Lin Tianming during a global advanced awakened academy competition. As they got to know each other, she developed feelings for him and even shared information about an impending mechanical secret realm opening in Kyushu shortly after the competition, hoping he would explore it with her.

Who would have thought that Lin Tianming, facing the temptation of divine treasures within the mechanical secret realm, would try to claim it all for himself? Taking advantage of Alice's unpreparedness, he attempted to kill her, seizing all the opportunities they discovered together.

Miraculously surviving, Alice found the mechanical ascension pool that Lin Tianming missed and gained the evolution legacy of a mechanical ascendant.

Although Lin Tianming believed Alice was certainly dead, leaving no trace of his treachery, he notified the major forces of Kyushu to seal off the secret realm's entrance just in case.

When Alice emerged, as a non-Kyushu native but from the Northern Yin Domain, she naturally faced various obstructions from the major forces of Kyushu trying to return home.

After a near-death escape back to the Northern Yin Domain, Alice swore to make Lin Tianming pay for his betrayal. However, when she felt the time was right to seek revenge on this ungrateful person, she learned that Lin Tianming had died.

Not being able to personally kill the man who deceived her and nearly caused her death became an unrelenting inner demon, preventing her from achieving the absolute rational ascension state of the mechanical divine nation.

Ultimately, in a battle against a mechanical ascendant god from the mechanical divine nation, Alice, deeply affected by her inner demon, was defeated and killed.]

Inner demon?

Again with the inner demon...

Aside from Jiang Han, who was killed by treachery upon becoming a god, Ye Qingxue, Feng Lan, Wang Yanran, and Alice were all influenced by inner demons after their ascension.

And these inner demons all stemmed from Lin Tianming.

Why does becoming a god result in the emergence of inner demons?

Could it be due to an incorrect method of ascension?

What about the era following the arrival of the Three Divine Nations? What kind of era was that?

Three Divine Nations... could they be the Gene Divine Nation, Mechanical Divine Nation, and Psionic Divine Nation, as he and Ye Qingxue learned in the Lost Land secret realm?

Are these ascendants from the divine nations enemies or allies to human awakeners like them?

At this moment, Lin Tianming's curiosity grew as he acquired more information about the Clockwork Goddess Alice.

Knowing this wasn't the time to ponder these questions, Lin Tianming noted them down while discreetly observing Alice.

This was the first time Lin Tianming, since his transmigration, had contact with someone from the Northern Yin Domain.

The girl before him, like a silver-haired elf shining in the night, was quite eye-catching.

He said, "Boss, didn't I order a multigrain pancake? Why haven't you made it yet? Why are you just staring at my face?"

Confronted by Lin Tianming's question, Alice, who had no idea how to make pancakes, had no choice but to awkwardly start making one for him.

"Sorry, dear customer, I'll make it right away!"

[I’m so annoyed!]

Seeing Alice grumble internally, Lin Tianming couldn't help but find it amusing.

He didn't expose her inner curses, instead enjoying the spectacle of Alice fumbling with the pancake.

Lin Tianming, not content just watching, started nitpicking, "Boss, are you really the owner of this pancake stall? Your technique spreading the batter on the pan seems a bit unskilled; it's not even evenly spread!"

"Of course I am! I've been doing this for over ten years. How could I be unskilled? Stop talking nonsense!"

[Damn it, Ming, you're deliberately picking a fight, aren't you!]

[I need to hurry and finish this pancake to get Ming out of here. If those Kyushu watchers Luke uncle diverted come back, sneaking into the mechanical secret realm will be even harder!]

Doing this for over ten years?

Lin Tianming chuckled.

Was this girl from the Northern Yin Domain making pancakes from the womb?

He didn't expose Alice's flawed statements; he had stopped her to gather information through the system.

Having obtained it, he wouldn't keep her here unnecessarily.

If she could enter the mechanical secret realm safely, it meant he could too.

He wanted to see what treasures were hidden in this realm connected to the Mechanical Divine Nation!

Rest assured, Miss Alice, he was different from the greedy original host.

If they encountered any treasures, he wouldn't resort to murder and theft; he would split it evenly.

Watching Alice struggling with the batter for a while without forming a proper pancake, Lin Tianming found it amusing.

He added to her difficulty, "Remember to add ham and bacon, and some sweet and spicy sauce. I like it sweet and spicy!"

"Alright, alright, I'll add everything!"

[I'm going crazy! Ming, you must be sent by the heavens to hinder my chance at the mechanical secret realm, right?]

[Why can't I escape you even in this life after coming to Kyushu early? It's infuriating!]

Exasperated, Alice still had to smile at Lin Tianming to avoid revealing her abnormality.

The more aggrieved she felt, the happier Lin Tianming was.

Smiling brightly, Lin Tianming enjoyed seeing the silver-haired beauty's distress.

"Here, your sweet and spicy multigrain pancake with ham and bacon!"

Alice handed over her misshapen pancake creation to Lin Tianming.

Lin Tianming couldn't hold back, "This pancake is ugly. The batter is still sticky. How is this a pancake?"

Unable to endure it anymore, Alice snapped, "Just tell me if you'll eat it!"

[Damn you, Ming! If you keep delaying, those watchers lured away by Uncle Luke will return, and I'll have no end of trouble with you!]

Lin Tianming, eager to enter the secret realm himself, decided not to tease Alice further, "How much is it?"

[Oh no! Isn't that one of the Kyushu watchers? They’re coming back already? Uncle Luke only bought this much time?]

[No more wasting time with this annoying guy, I need to leave now!]

"Don't worry about the money, just stop bothering me!"

Taking advantage of the returning watchers not noticing her, Alice abandoned the roleplay and fled.

Soon, Lin Tianming was found by the Kyushu watchers searching for Alice.

"Young man, did you see a silver-haired girl about your age with obvious non-Kyushu features?"

Lin Tianming, looking innocent, shook his head, "No."

Seeing nothing suspicious, the watchers continued their search.

As Lin Tianming followed Alice, he took a bite of the batter pancake, finding it not as bad as he expected.

"Not too bad, a bit sticky but edible. Can't let it go to waste!"
