With these thoughts, Fang Ze couldn't help but activate his Void Eye, wanting to observe that particular petal in both worlds.
Soon, using the petal's position in the Spirit Realm as a reference, he adjusted the perspective of the Void Eye in the Real World and found that petal.
When he saw that the petal was pressed under his bedsheets, Fang Ze confirmed that the petal was not just a random one from the citywide petal rain that had unintentionally fallen into his home or had been accidentally brought in by himself.
After all... landing on the bed could be called a coincidence, but sneaking inside the bedsheets was just too strange.
Coming to this conclusion, Fang Ze couldn't help but start analyzing exactly what this thing was.
His first thought was that it might be related to the Flower God.
After all, the connection between the petal and the Flower God was too strong to ignore.
Immediately after, he remembered some things Huo Lin had told him after the Flower God's self-destruction.
Huo Lin had said that despite the Flower God's self-destruction, he suspected that the Flower God hadn't died. These Demigods living atop Spirit Realm Mountain had endless tricks up their sleeves. Such an easy self-destruction must have had an escape method.
Considering this, Fang Ze couldn't help but stroke his chin: Could it be... that this petal was the Flower God's means of escape?
Concealing herself as a petal among the raining petals to deceive others seemed to make a lot of sense!
But why... why come to me?
Fang Ze's brows furrowed as he began to carefully analyze the Flower God's motive.
At first, he suspected that it could be because he had tricked the Flower God, and she was here for revenge.
However, as soon as this thought appeared, he immediately dismissed it.
During his communication with the Flower God, he had never revealed his appearance or identity. Logically, the Flower God shouldn't have been able to find him.
Moreover, as mentioned in his recent conversation with Huo Lin... no matter the level, self-destruction was always a last resort, damaging the enemy significantly but oneself even more, leading to severe loss of strength. Thus, the Flower God should not have been capable of seeking revenge against him.
Then, he wondered if it could be due to his identity.
After all, he was the Head of the Security Bureau. With the Flower God's foolish behavior, thinking that the most dangerous place could be the safest, it was also quite possible.
However, he quickly dismissed this idea. After all... except for his trusted associates, others did not know of this home. Thus, the Flower God couldn't have possibly staked out the place in advance.
Fang Ze's mind raced as he speculated on the Flower God's motive for seeking him out!
As he pondered, suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed through his mind.
He couldn't help but remember another thing Huo Lin had told him: due to the severe injury from self-destructing, the Flower God needed to find a Disaster Creature or an Ability User with a similar origin to recover her strength. Therefore, Huo Lin had asked him to closely monitor such creatures and people.
And in Fang Ze's home, there happened to be a Plant Series Disaster Creature, and he had often been in contact with Little Grass lately, likely carrying the scent of Little Grass on him.
So... this was probably the reason why the Flower God had mysteriously shown up at his place!
Thinking , Fang Ze became thoughtful...
A Demigod, eh? That's a nice find...
He could leverage her knowledge as a booster for power, gaining insights into the hidden aspects of the Spirit Realm and the Federation, fleece her in Credit World, understand the different realms, and make her an amplifier for his strength, reducing the detours he'd have to take in cultivation.
Or he could simply hand her over to the Federation for a promotion and a pay rise, ascending to the Provincial Government and even over a larger jurisdiction.
It was the perfect tool, essential for the home and travel!
He definitely couldn't let this opportunity slip away!
With that in mind, Fang Ze began recalling everything he had done and said from entering the house to arriving at the Spirit Realm, then started pondering how he could gain the Flower God's trust, starting with "ingratiating" himself with her…
Ten minutes later. Fang Ze had a plan in mind. Once he reviewed his plan in his head and confirmed there were no issues, he quietly went to the top floor, left the Spirit Realm from there, and used the Prank Map to teleport back home…
Meanwhile, at Fang Ze's home.
The Flower God, who had been hiding among the petals, was still cautiously searching for Fang Ze's whereabouts.
Suddenly, with a gentle crackling sound, Fang Ze reappeared in the room.
The newly returned Fang Ze also seemed somewhat "shell-shocked" as he patted his chest and said somewhat frantically, "By the Flower God, by the Flower God."
"That scared the life out of me."
"Why was I suddenly transported away by a treasure?"
At that moment, inside the petals, the Divine Soul of the Flower God also heard Fang Ze's words.
A question mark slowly rose above her head, "By the Flower God? Is he… one of my Believers?"
Although she had suspected this before, there had been no indications from Fang Ze before he disappeared. His sudden return and immediately calling on the "Flower God" made the Flower God feel it was rather abrupt and odd…
As she prepared to escape in her heart, she mulled over her next move: This feels a bit dangerous, best to observe for a while longer.
Then something odd happened. After praying to the Flower God once upon his return, Fang Ze never mentioned anything related to her again. It was as if everything had gone back to the state it was when he got home.
And, perhaps because the sudden transportation had given him such a fright that he couldn't sleep, Fang Ze decided not to sleep at all and stayed up all night.
