Chapter 925: Chapter 102: Beneath the Cascading Radiance
Mu Wanqiu held the long knife, looking at the narrow stone wall surroundings, her emotions complex.
She had always been a simple person.
Whatever she thought of, she did.
So following the feeling in her heart, she ca here without any hesitation.
Then… she got trapped here.
At this mont, a slight sense of regret surged in her heart.
Perhaps dreams are all elusive things, especially nightmares within the Disaster Realm, that guidance about herself and the [Judge], might always have been false, not worth trusting, nor pursuing.
However, this trace of regret disappeared in an instant.
She quickly accepted the situation.
No matter if it was regret, confusion, or sighing, it wouldn’t change the current situation.
She had to leave here.
This damned place looked like all walls, but in reality, there were countless exits.
Yet among the countless exits, the majority might be [Death Gates]!
Mu Wanqiu extended her palm, gently pressing against the stone wall that she had shattered, seriously asking, “If I can’t understand the ancient script, can’t I get out?”
The ancient scripts on these stone walls would change.
This also ant that the position of the [Gate] would change accordingly.
Neither she nor Gu Shen could understand the ancient script, how to find the right [Gate]?
Gu Shen stood before the stone wall, silently looking at these obscure words, lost in thought.
A long ti later, he softly uttered two words.
“Not necessarily.”
…
…
Central City.
Zhu Xue pushed open the old-fashioned wooden window, with a creak, sunlight poured down like a waterfall from the do, flooding the room, he held an unlit cigar between two fingers, slightly turning his body, and asked with a smile.
“Miss ng, you are the Light Goddess of Light City, your identity is special, isn’t it inappropriate to stay in the North Continent for so long?”
Before the reboot mission began, ng Xizhou arrived here.
She hadn’t left these days.
The purpose of ng Xizhou’s visit was singular.
To et the Empress.
However, the response she received was very consistent… Commander Purple Rain refused her request citing “personal travel cannot represent the West Continent,” the North Continent is a place that values rules.
No matter how noble ng Xizhou’s identity was, it was of no use.
After all… this was not Light City, even if she was a Goddess, even if she had countless believers, she had no special privileges.
“I escaped.”
ng Xizhou of course heard the implicit aning of eviction in Zhu Xue’s words, but she was not annoyed and instead said softly, “Light City is probably looking for .”
“Light City found you long ago.”
Zhu Xue smiled, “Just recently, Light City’s Great Knight Jia Wei sent an email asking to persuade you to return to the Continent on your own…”
Due to the broken engagent.
The relationship between Light City and the North Continent Royal Family is now sowhat subtle.
With the strength of a Goddess, to bring her back to the West Continent, the Transcendent to be dispatched must be strong enough… and that kind of strong entity, from the mont they set foot in the North Continent, would be considered a violation of the Empress’ rules.
The letter from Light City’s Great Knight Jia Wei could be considered a form of “friendly” communication.
Or it could be seen as a probing, as well as a preemptive notification.
If after so ti, ng Xizhou still stays in the North Continent.
Then… Light City may consider that Zhu Xue’s “persuasion was ineffective,” at that ti, if they send Transcendents across borders to execute the retrieval mission, it would not be considered a provocation.
“Then let Jia Wei co personally.” ng Xizhou, upon hearing this, had no reaction.
Her tone remained gentle.
This made Zhu Xue quite troubled.
He turned his body helplessly to look at this woman bathed in sunlight, appearing incomparably sacred, incomparably pure.
It is said that this Goddess has been showered with divine favor since birth.
Across the Five Continents, among the seven sparks, those who harness them, always need to endure layers of trials, countless hardships, to have the opportunity to slowly fuse with the “spark”… this is in accordance with the extraordinary realm’s laws.
No Divine Throne is born a Divine Throne.
They were also mortal when born.
But ng Xizhou is a bit different… perhaps because the Light God’s Seat bestowed a blessing while her mother was pregnant, at the ti of her birth, the blazing light gathered, the sky was cloudless, and the entire Light City was shrouded in a Holy Light.
A Divine Miracle.
This had never happened before.
Perhaps, so are naturally chosen by heaven’s will, ordained as a “god”, although in the six hundred years of the Five Continents’ history, such a thing is unheard of, those fortunate enough to be blessed by the Divine Throne are rare, but ng Xizhou was not the only one.
Among millions, it may not appear such a one.
So… from the mont she was born, she was deed as the “Light Goddess” chosen by the heavens.
The ng Family also flourished due to her and gained divine favor, shining ever brighter.
This is precisely the reason why Mr. Zuxue is having such a headache at the mont.
A woman like ng Xizhou must be an exceptionally clever person. How could she not know… how much trouble her current stay will bring to herself?
He sighed softly, “Her Majesty doesn’t wish to see you, so why are you so persistent?”
ng Xizhou was silent for a mont after hearing this.
She stared blankly at the azure sky in the distance.
Under the cleansing sunlight, the entire Central City looked incomparably pure, like a sacred oil painting.
After a mont, ng Xizhou stretched out her slender fingers and gently peeled sothing off another wrist.
“Duke Lin Chou, I know… you are in a difficult position. Consider this ‘Light Bracelet’ as my gift of thanks.”
She gently placed that bead bracelet on the table.
Zhu Xue is one of the North Continent Four Dukes, and aside from this identity, he is also Her Majesty the Empress’s brother… He has seen countless rare treasures in the world, but when he saw the bracelet, he couldn’t help but have a slight contraction in his pupils.
This bracelet consists of eighteen beads, each full and crystal clear.
At the center of each bead, like flowing fire, is embedded a strand of solidified light!
That is genuinely the “Power of Fire”!
Normally worn, these lights can nourish the spirit and soothe the soul.
If utilized… the power contained in just one bead should be able to instantly flatten an entire giant floating building.
It’s probably equivalent to a “full-force strike” by a Titled Transcendent!
Capable of both offense and defense!
Such an object could only be possessed by the “Light Goddess” who receives endless divine favor from the West Continent… How pampered must she be to be gifted such terrifying power?
It is no exaggeration to say that if a low-level Transcendent got this bead, it would be equivalent to possessing the combat strength to declare war on a dium-sized fortress in the North Continent!
Zhu Xue’s expression was extrely complex as he looked at the bracelet, shook his head, and firmly said, “I can’t keep this, take it back.”
What a joke…
Even as the Empress’s brother, he is not qualified to possess this level of “weighty sealed item”!
If he really took it, could he use it?
Just keeping it in hand, sooner or later, Light City would want it back.
This bracelet is simply too valuable.
“I left Light City in a hurry… and probably only have this one item that might catch your eye.”
ng Xizhou lowered her eyes, looked at the bead bracelet on the table, and gave a self-deprecating smile, “If Mr. Zuxue is worried about returning it, I can write a docunt to prove that this bracelet is a voluntary gift from , as compensation for the engagent cancellation’s impact on the Lin Family’s reputation.”
The words “engagent cancellation” ca out…
Zhu Xue’s expression changed slightly.
But he quickly regained his composure, not becoming directly angry or cold as ng Xizhou might have expected.
This, on the contrary, made her a bit puzzled. Back in the old castle hall, ntioning this made even the commander’s face change… but Mr. Zuxue didn’t seem very upset.
Duke Lin Chou, should be the brother of her “forr fiancé.”
Even if he doesn’t care about his brother.
Doesn’t he care about the losses faced by the Lin Family because of this?
“Miss ng, you underestimate .”
Zhu Xue smiled with great composure. Hearing this news, his mood was certainly not good, but a truly cultured noble would not show negative emotions in front of outsiders as it would be undignified.
Lin Chou paused slightly and added, “Or perhaps… you greatly underestimate the Lin Family.”
“What you have done doesn’t actually cause much impact on the Lin Family.”
He picked up the teacup and took a small sip, speaking gently, “Unlike your ng Family, the Lin Family truly stands at the pinnacle of the Five Continents, is part of the North Continent Royal Family holding iron authority. Even if you did break off the engagent, it’s no big deal, moreover… these are rely your personal statents and do not represent Light City’s stance, nor the position of the West Continent.”
Though the tone was gentle.
The impact… was strong!
The words spoken by Zhu Xue at this mont were essentially the sa as the aning expressed earlier by the Purple Rain Commander.
Even with tens of millions supporting.
Ultimately under one person.
From the mont ng Xizhou’s fate was resplendent due to the Light God’s Seat’s favor, many things were no longer up to her to decide.
At this point, ng Xizhou understood a bit.
Her words and actions were regarded seriously here only because she is the Light Goddess.
And the reason she won’t be taken truly seriously is also because she is the Light Goddess.
“Miss ng, I’m very curious, why do you insist on staying in Central City.”
Zhu Xue, no longer polite, sat down and opened his work dossier, speaking softly, “In a situation where none of us are particularly welcoming to you, knowing that it’s impossible for you to see Her Majesty… what is it that keeps you here?”
After a long silence.
ng Xizhou also pulled out a chair and sat down.
Under the cascading light.
She sat opposite Zhu Xue, looked directly into Lin Chou’s eyes.
“I have sothing that must be said to the Empress personally, can only be said personally to the Empress.”
