Hearing Xu Yuan's words, Entity 303 frowned and thought for a moment before speaking. "Actually, just being able to stand here like before and talk with us is already more than enough for us."
"Even if you've lost all your power and don't have a physical body anymore, it doesn't matter."
"Before, you were always the one standing in front of us, protecting us. Now it's our turn to protect you!"
As soon as Entity 303 finished speaking, everyone nodded along and echoed his words.
"Yeah, during the time you were gone, we weren't just sitting around doing nothing. Now we're all capable of standing on our own!"
"Not having power isn't a bad thing. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. You carried so much before because you were too strong. Now it's time to rest properly."
"Exactly, not having power isn't a bad thing, and not having a physical body is even less of a problem."
"In this shallows of ours, we've got wolves, dragons, bones, shadows… we just happened to be missing a soul form. And now you've filled that spot perfectly, haven't you?"
What they said wasn't meant to comfort Xu Yuan. They truly believed it.
Just as Entity 303 said, for them, simply being able to see Xu Yuan return was already enough. As for what state Xu Yuan was in or whether he still had his previous strength… none of that mattered to them at all. They simply didn't care about those things.
Even if Xu Yuan had appeared now in D's form, they might still have accepted it.
What they cared about was Xu Yuan as a person, not his appearance, abilities, or any of those external things.
Hearing this, Xu Yuan was about to say something, but Rookie spoke before him.
Rookie suddenly rolled his eyes dramatically, let out a long sigh, and looked at everyone with a helpless expression, shaking his head as his tone filled with reproach. "It was like this at the start, and now it's like this again…"
"Are you all some kind of monkey kings?"
"Why do you all rush to conclusions about everything?"
At this point, Rookie shrugged with a speechless look and continued, "Xu Yuan is just explaining the principle behind how he dissipated, alright?"
"And from the moment he opened his eyes until now, when did he ever say that he's going to stay like this forever and completely lose his abilities?"
"Also, can you at least show me a bit of respect?" At this point, Rookie spread his hands toward Xu Yuan. "No matter how you look at it, this is only half done… half… ugh, whatever, the point is it's not complete yet!"
"Is my plan really that bad?"
Seeing Rookie's helpless expression, Xu Yuan looked at him, then nodded in agreement with his earlier scolding of everyone before turning to the group with a smile. "Rookie isn't wrong about that."
"But I can't really blame you either. When you care too much, it's easy to get flustered."
Hearing Xu Yuan say this, Rookie couldn't help feeling a bit surprised. From what Xu Yuan meant, it seemed like he already knew how to regain a physical body and his power. But he had just woken up and hadn't come into contact with any information.
However, Rookie didn't stay surprised for long. After thinking it over, he understood.
Xu Yuan had already been acknowledged by the Inner World, so he probably already knew some of its rules.
Seeing this, Rookie looked at Xu Yuan and asked, "So, the solution is… faith, right?"
Although Rookie was fairly confident in his guess, he had already said before that his plans and deductions weren't one hundred percent accurate, so he still wasn't completely certain.
As soon as Rookie finished speaking, Xu Yuan nodded, confirming his guess. "That's right. In this world, the power of faith is enough to overturn everything."
Hearing the conversation between Xu Yuan and Rookie, Entity 303 couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Could it be that the faith people like us have in My King still isn't enough?"
After saying that, Entity 303 looked around at everyone and continued, "We should be the ones who believe in My King the most, right?"
"Putting aside whether our faith can restore My King's abilities, at the very least it shouldn't be so little that it can't even give him a physical body, right?!"
"Don't underestimate our bonds! Damn it!"
Hearing Entity 303's overly dramatic outburst, Rookie completely lost it and almost choked on his own saliva.
He rolled his eyes at Entity 303, patted his chest to catch his breath, and then explained, "Have you been holding it in for too long and just completely let yourself go now?"
"No one is underestimating your bonds. Your bonds have already completed the most important step, rebuilding his soul."
"As for the other external things…" At this point, Rookie paused, then shrugged. "That probably requires accumulation in quantity."
As soon as Rookie finished his analysis, Xu Yuan nodded in agreement. "If there's enough faith, then completely taking control of this Inner World isn't impossible."
As soon as Xu Yuan finished speaking, Notch said, "For you, quantity definitely isn't the problem."
"But the key issue is…" At this point, Notch paused, organizing his thoughts before continuing, "Faith from the Outer World can't be transmitted into the Inner World, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have dissipated in the first place."
"That's the problem. How do we bring those living beings and players who believe in you into the Inner World?"
After saying that, Notch pointed at the Blade of the War God floating in midair and continued, "The Blade of the War God can bring quite a few people over, but entering the item dimension has a threshold. Not just anyone can go in."
"As for ordinary people trying to enter the Inner World through their own ability… that's even more impossible."
At this point, Notch thought for a moment, then looked at Rookie. "How about when the server restarts, we set up a class? Train those players' subconscious minds?"
"As for the living beings… maybe we can try using the method of reconstructing Xu Yuan's soul again, to manifest those beings from the previous Outer World into the Inner World."
It had to be said that as the Creator God, Notch still had the right kind of vision. What Xu Yuan had just meant was that with enough faith, Xu Yuan could become the Creator God of the Inner World.
But as the former Creator God of this world, Notch didn't show even a trace of jealousy toward Xu Yuan. Instead, he actively helped think of ways to push this forward.
In Notch's view, even if Xu Yuan didn't have the power of a Creator God, everything he had done was more than worthy of that title.
As he thought this far, Notch suddenly seemed to sense something. "Hm? This…"
Before he could finish speaking, he disappeared from this void…
