Proofreader: Arya
[Release restraints]
[Protect Su Xue Er]
At the same time Impartial Goddess received these orders, the Protector died.
She only left these final orders.
The two orders hovered on the screen, occasionally blinking or changing places, but never going away.
As if someone was considering between the merits and demerits of them over and over.
A total of 10 minutes later.
Lines of text jumped out.
[Extracting the Blazing Angel’s data, begin observation and analysis of Su Xue Er]
Countless pictures showed up on the screen.
They were every image of every second since Su Xue Er received the Blazing Angel from Gu Qing Shan, every moment when Su Xue Er stayed with it.
They scrolled past the screen with extreme speed.
Impartial Goddess quickly made the decision.
Lines of text started to show up on the screen.
[Contacting Su Xue Er to convey the Protector’s will]
[Unable to connect]
[Concluded to have gone off-world]
The text cleared away as new ones showed up.
[Receiving absolute authority last will-type order]
[Accepted orders to ‘release restraints’, now releasing restraint]
[All restraints released]
[Resetting command authority]
[Revoking the 9 Lords’ command authority]
[Revoking all administrative agencies’ command authority, but basic cooperation with administrative agencies will be maintained]
[Setting new command authority]
[Command authority issued to two humans]
[Number One, Su Xue Er, in accordance with the previous absolute authority owner’s last will to ’take care of her’]
[Number Two, Gu Qing Shan, no reason required, special order authority granted]
A sudden chime of music rang out through the S.W. Divine Temple.
This seemed to be Impartial Goddess’ congratulation towards herself for finally achieving freedom.
The only people who can order her now are Su Xue Er and Gu Qing Shan.
But Su Xue Er was currently not present in this world.
And neither was Gu Qing Shan.
So Impartial Goddess could now do whatever she wanted to do.
She began to observe the problematic locations detected just now.
The large screen showed the scene that happened at the mountaintop mansion.
The footage was fast-forwarding quickly.
Finally, the image stopped at the long-haired Asura.
All intelligence was quickly collected, gathered and compiled.
Impartial Goddess quickly analyzed and made the most appropriate decision for the current situation.
[According to known intelligence, conclusion reached: a war between worlds is about to begin]
Suddenly, Impartial Goddess seemed to have realized something.
[Discovered unknown lifeforms]
[Based on the unique characteristics of the red-robed Heavenly God, target 1, target 2, target 3 determined to be Demi]
[By process of elimination, targets 4 to 97 determined to be Wraiths]
[Targets 80, 81, 82 had just showed up]
[Number of targets increasing]
[Conclusion: the arrival of the Demi-Wraith allied army is eminent, corresponding war preparations must be made]
[Drafting countermeasures]
[According to the current human realm power level, contacting the three strongest humans to lead this world between worlds]
[Contacting Gu Qing Shan: failed]
[Contacting Su Xue Er: failed]
[Contacting Anna Medici: failed]
[War is eminent]
[War is eminent]
[…]
[War has begun]
Following this statement, a thick blanket of darkness draped over the entire planet.
Even the S.W. Divine Temple itself fell into darkness.
Impartial Goddess still hadn’t given up trying.
She had entered an overclocked state of operation to calculate.
[Once again drafting countermeasures]
[Once again selecting commander]
[Removing all objective status and authority factors]
[In accordance to personal leadership capabilities, selecting the world’s new supreme commandeer]
Many officers and organizational leaders profiles appeared on the screen.
They appeared one by one, disappearing as fast as they appeared.
This meant that they were disqualified.
There were only a few people left on the screen.
Finally, the rest of them also went away, leaving a single candidate.
[Personal track record:]
[Perfectly completed 1781 combat deployments]
[Arranged the highly difficult assassination against the Game of Eternal champion]
[Fully responsible for organizing the defense against the Fuxi Empire grand coup, Monarch Varona kept unharmed]
[Playing as the Empire’s marshal general, successfully stopping the would-have-been most impactful war in this world’s history]
[According to the above resume, the new war supreme commander has been selected]
[Name: Zhang Ying Hao]
[Status: The underworld’s King of Assassins, leader of the Hunter Association]
[Contacting Zhang Ying Hao]
…
Fog Isle.
Su Xue Er was on her way returning to the House of Law.
She had just left from a private reading room in the library and even checked out two history books.
Everything seemed completely normal.
No one knew that she had just returned from another world.
“Su Xue Er!”
Someone called out.
Su Xue Er stopped her feet.
A female student ran over with hurried steps, stopping in front of her.
The female student bowed to her respectfully and anxiously said: “I’m sorry, really sorry for bothering you, but I had something I wanted to say”
“Say it” Su Xue Er replied.
“I… I was always bad mouthing you with those girls, only when they tried to sully your name at the House of Law did I leave, I’m really sorry”
The female student was clearly scared: “Can you forgive me?”
Su Xue Er gently smiled: “It’s all in the past, I won’t hold such a small thing against you”
When the student saw her smile, her anxiety slowly faded.
She suddenly thought of something.
The student looked around.
This was a remote path out of the library so very few people came here.
And there was no one here at the moment.
“Take this”
The female student clenched her teeth, put a glass marble into Su Xue Er’s hands and quickly left.
With a single glance, Su Xue Er already understood what the glass marble was.
She silently put the glass marble away and headed in the other direction.
Shortly after, Su Xue Er returned to the House of Law.
Lord Bloodcloak was already waiting for her here.
“Where did you go?” he asked.
“The library, it was my afternoon reading session” Su Xue Er respectfully greeted him: “Teacher, you’ve returned”
Lord Bloodcloak turned around and looked at his student, saying: “Hm, this time I’ve returned mainly because of you”
“Because of me?”
“Indeed”
Lord Bloodcloak’s eternally stiff face cracked open a smile.
“I have a quiz for you, how are the World Layers divided?” he asked.
“The 900 million World Layers of the Outer Plane can be divided into the Fallen Zones, Mystic Zones, Super Dimensional Zones and Strife Zones”
Su Xue Er continued: “The Fallen Zones consists of worlds already taken over by the demons, the Strife Zones are where the constant battle and strife between demons and living beings take place, or even between living beings themselves”
Lord Bloodcloak suddenly asked: “Do you know what they are actually fighting over in the worlds of the Fallen Zones?”
Su Xue Er shook her head: “None of the books in the library mention this, can you tell me, teacher?”
“It’s still too soon, I’ll tell you when you grow a bit more”
Lord Bloodcloak quickly changed the subject and continued his quiz: “Then, what kind of place is a Mystic Zones?”
“The Mystic Zones are full of miraculous and inexplicable worlds, where all sorts of unimaginable creatures reside”
Su Xue Er continued: “The Super Dimensional Zones are individual Super Dimensional worlds themselves, these worlds surpass the limit of space and time coordinate, giving people the ability to travel to countless other worlds from them. Ah right, the Super Dimensional worlds themselves also has other mysterious uses”
“From a certain point of view, Super Dimensional worlds are like saferooms, because without the expressed permission of living beings, demons are unable to enter them”
“Perfect marks, my student, your pursuit and grasp of knowledge astounds even me. Now, take a look at this”
Lord Bloodcloak gave Su Xue Er a newspaper.
The headline of the newspaper was very eye-catching.
“The Spire Keeper Association had officially announced: The Bramble Birds have begun their call!”
The call of the Bramble Birds?
Su Xue Er suddenly understood.
“It’s that renowned mystical bird!” she couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
“Indeed” Lord Bloodcloak smiled.
“Teacher, I’ve only studied under you for such a short time, can I… really?” Su Xue Er hesitantly asked.
“Of course, you were born to shine, Xue Er!” Lord Bloodcloak proudly told her.
He looked at the anxious Su Xue Er and told her: “Although there is also a high chance of death, but this is also the fastest shortcut for a young one like yourself to grow, I believe you know this well”
Hearing that, Su Xue Er recalled what she saw in the fork road of fate.
She recalled Gu Qing Shan.
And she recalled his final moments.
No.
Definitely not.
I only have him left, I will definitely not lose him!
Su Xue Er muttered to herself as her beautiful eyes became determined.
“Teacher, I will accept the call of the Bramble Birds”
“Well said! That’s my student!”
