As Alex sat down in the Artifact God's hall, the Artifact God sat down on her own couch and looked around.
"Strange to see you without senior Sunflare," she said.
Alex smiled. "He's stopped following me around now that the threat of the gods is gone. He still visits from time to time to see the tree, but for the most part, he's let me be."
Shen Yaojia nodded slowly. "Has he not said anything about leaving for his place by now? I am surprised he's allowed you to stay."
Alex shrugged slightly. "We're still not entirely sure what I will be doing during the peace meeting, so for the sake of that, I am staying. And he has agreed to my wishes. That had been the plan from the start, so he is quite accepting of it."
Shen Yaojia said nothing. "Well, I have come up with the ideas for the artifacts. They aren't entirely settled, but I wanted to let you know what I have planned by now. I can move into the more specific decisions once you approve of my ideas."
