His finger lifted, and a bright green light shot out. The overwhelming force surged forward, and Fu En stood frozen, watching the green energy stab toward him.

At this moment, Tian Yu barely struggled free from the sticky darkness around him and reached out his hand.

"Elunara vestralium, korath nim'rath, luminae!"

Her fingertips burst with dazzling blue brilliance, accompanied by the sound of "crack, crack, crack," as a crystal-clear ice mountain rose out of thin air at her feet, charging straight at the green light wave!

Deep blue runes flickered in her pupils, and even her breath was laced with frost. Her golden finger was exceptionally strong; this ice element attack overpowered Eni's flames.

However, the pinnacle strike of humanity was useless in front of a Second-level God.

The green light orb emitted a teeth-on-edge "zizizi" friction sound, and in the blink of an eye, it shattered the massive ice mountain, bringing it dangerously close to them!

"..." Tian Yu closed his eyes, calmly accepting the outcome.

But they did not meet death as expected.

A bright blue shield rose up, blocking the green orb.

The two of them looked on in shock as Su Ming'an, with his palm facing outwards, was surrounded by a floating blue shield. This barrier only encompassed Su Ming'an and the Goddess of Life, repelling all outgoing attacks.

——A rules-based skill.

Once raised, even if inside it was a god, the shield could not be broken.

"I extend to you..." Su Ming'an looked at the astounded Qi Jue: "A High Tower Invitation, Qi Jue... no, Goddess of Life Lotasha."

Even a god had no right to refuse him.

The duration of the High Tower Invitation was enough for Fu En to lead Eni and the others away. Unless Qi Jue reacted instantly to kill Su Ming'an.

Those fallen in the darkness gradually regained consciousness and, before they had time to be shocked by the stage's situation, Fu En took the lead, urging them to leave first.

This young prince, with eyes on the top of his head, seemed to have matured instantly.

And at this moment.

Su Ming'an closed his eyes.

——Switch accounts.

Sique, face your own romantic debts yourself.

[<Yuanyuan's Perspective>·April 5, 2025, 16:35]

Under a fine drizzle, bamboo leaves swayed, and mud footprints covered the stone-paved path in the forest.

In the distance, an ancient wooden bridge crossed a small stream, with a dense bamboo forest on the other side. Deep within the bamboo forest, a few thatched cottages were faintly visible, their roofs covered with thick thatch. In front of the cottages stood a shrine bustling with incense offerings.

"Rustle, rustle, rustle."

A villager wearing a cloth turban entered the shrine with fresh fruit, praying piously to the deity statue: "Merciful Najasha, please bless my family's Qingqing to be selected... bless Luohe Village at the foot of the mountain to be safe and free from floods."

He respectfully kowtowed a few times. After he left, several more villagers came to pray.

"Please bless my son to be chosen..."

"Please bless me to win first place in the Flower Gathering Conference and stand out..."

A black-haired girl emerged from the thatched cottages, watching the villagers as she murmured, "What are they praying for today? What does Flower Gathering mean?"

Beside her, from the lush forest, a beautiful figure with blue hair cascading over the shoulders slowly emerged, with a face too exquisite to determine gender, smiling gently as they touched their lips, "Recently, the World Master ordered a 'Flower Gathering' to be held, which in simple terms is a selection event with a very broad range. These people all hope their sons and daughters will be chosen and achieve great success."

Yuanyuan's eyes widened in surprise: "Ah? The World Master is opening a harem?"

The blue-haired man said, "Of course not selecting for himself, but for his foster daughter. And it's not selecting lovers, but companions to play with her. After all, his fame instills fear in everyone, and his foster daughter is also kept at a respectful distance. So he wants to select some people to accompany his foster daughter."

Yuanyuan's expression was complex.

"So," the blue-haired man stood with his hands behind his back, "you should leave."

Yuanyuan was a baby picked up by the World Master—she was the World Master's foster daughter.

However, since she became independent, she had always been out adventuring and never colluded with the World Master. A few months ago, during one of her adventures, she stumbled upon this shrine bustling with incense offerings and the blue-haired man.

The blue-haired man was named Najasha, originally a wounded member of the Sea Clan, recuperating in this mountain. Because he couldn't bear to see the villagers suffering, he occasionally induced rainfall to help them survive. The villagers, thinking it was a divine miracle, called on villagers from far and wide to build a shrine, worshiping Najasha as a deity and praying to him day and night.

Najasha was originally a Sea Monster Clan member, but through the night and day incense offerings, he gradually acquired divine power. Though no match for a Third-level God, he soured the sweet nectar of faith, continuing to accept the villagers' worship and shield them with peace.

When Yuanyuan passed by this mountain, sensing Najasha's divine power, she decided to stay and observe him further. Najasha also did not drive her away.

Who knew the World Master would host a Flower Gathering Conference, forcing Yuanyuan to return and refuse the matter.

"Return home." Najasha lowered his curled lashes, the scales and wings behind him trembling slightly, "Perhaps your otherworld friends have already reached Luowasha, and you should go see them."

"Then I should leave." Yuanyuan returned to the thatched cottage, carrying out a white-furred, red-eyed rabbit. This was a rabbit she had been raising for over a decade, named Big Gui, and she intended to take it back with her.

"Are you not leaving?" Yuanyuan packed her belongings.

The blue-haired man stood with hands clasped behind, his head slightly raised, the rain sliding down his pale face, handsomely unbecoming of a mortal, eyes revealing compassion and benevolence:

"I cannot leave for now, as the tides are rising recently. Without me, the villagers would suffer flood disasters. Having benefited from their long incense offerings, I cannot turn a blind eye. Furthermore, the World Master is violent and brutal, unfit to associate with, so I will only return to the sea."

"I understand, which is why I want to use my identity to persuade him to put down his butcher's knife." Yuanyuan placed a hand over her chest, her tone light: "He stands alone, with no one to advise him away from the path of a tyrant. To save more people from the butchering, I will go back."

"Why bother? He even killed his own godfather, let alone a foster daughter."

"He raised me, an abandoned baby; either he feels some guilt towards me, or he believes I have some use. My words might matter, even if only to prevent one massacre; it wouldn't be meaningless," Yuanyuan said.

"Given your age, your magnanimity and maturity surprise me."

"There's always something I can do. Not just a doll on the counter, nor a puppet on strings." Yuanyuan shouldered her bag, "Mr. Najasha, take care of yourself, too."

Najasha understood her meaning. If he stayed here only to protect the villagers, it wouldn't benefit his growth. He realized that finding a new place for worship was the path to becoming a god.

Yet he had grown familiar with each villager, knowing their hardships and joys, treated them like friends. If he were to leave, Luowasha, in the vastness of this world, would be as fragile as a paper boat on the waves, with the iron hooves of one fierce beast capable of destroying everything.

He was born of the Sea Clan, arrived at this mountain by chance, worshiped by people, who gave him the meaning to go on living.

"Ignorance is bliss..." He watched the girl's retreating figure, perceiving her wisdom:

"Ignorance is bliss..."

"—What? The World Master wants to start a harem!?"

Yamada Machiichi shot up from his seat, startling Zhi Fei beside him.

After killing the Crystal Clan Leader Zhi Li'er, Yamada Machiichi used his leg-hugging skill to latch onto a large organization that worshipped the Dawn Goddess Kritchens—[Order Guardian]. As the name implies, this is an organization dedicated to safeguarding order and removing hidden threats as commanded by the World Tree.

People in the organization are refined and rare, all being ultra-powerful. Yamada Machiichi's strength wasn't even enough to get started; he only became an external operative by clinging to a formidable ally, barely able to gather some information.

Since Su Ming'an wanted to chop down the World Tree, he decided to join the World Tree, and at critical moments, he would defect and provide information to Su Ming'an.

"I told you, it's the World Master's daughter inviting playmates, where is your mind wandering off to!" Zhi Fei covered his mouth.

"At this crucial juncture, with the End of All Things God watching us like a tiger stalking its prey, the demonization crisis infecting the gods, the World Master actually wants to hold a selection! Truly a tyrant!" Yamada Machiichi said indignantly, "Damn, I'm so envious... no, this is outrageous! Even I haven't tried this... no, isn't this akin to forcibly taking people? When if not now should we overthrow such a World Master?"

Zhi Fei turned pale with fright, repeatedly advising, "Even if we're a thousand miles away, don't curse the World Master, beware of courting disaster. He's too tyrannical, we shouldn't oppose him."

Just then, the door opened, and a pink-haired girl carrying a cookie walked in, rummaging through the snack box and pulling out a bottle of cola, stuffing it into her mouth.

"Hey, you can't eat that!" Yamada Machiichi didn't know who she was, but he couldn't watch her swallow the cola bottle.

In an instant, he felt an immense sense of danger, as if death was staring him in the face. The next moment, the sense of impending death dissipated.

"...Are you new?" the pink-haired girl glanced at him, attempting to shove the cola into her mouth again.

"You have to twist the cap off!" Yamada Machiichi wiped his sweat and quickly helped her unscrew the cap.

The pink-haired girl blankly stared at the bottle of cola, watching as it fizzed up and wet her white skirt, furrowing her brows before suddenly tossing the cola away.

"...!" Yamada Machiichi was dumbfounded.

"There are bubbles, it's spoiled, can't drink it," the pink-haired girl said.

"Cola is supposed to have bubbles..." Yamada Machiichi scratched his head helplessly. This girl had no common sense at all and seemed a bit air-headed. How did she get into this mysterious and powerful organization?

The pink-haired girl frowned, seemingly not understanding Yamada Machiichi's words very well, and went back to digging for chocolate, this time nearly stuffing the plastic bag into her mouth.

Yamada Machiichi corrected her for a long time before getting the girl to understand what could be eaten directly and what needed to be unwrapped.

"What's your name?" Yamada Machiichi asked, sweating profusely.

The pink-haired girl munching on chocolate replied, "My name is Xiao Bai. I just returned from a mission. I need to eat something sweet."

"You haven't always eaten like this, have you...?" Yamada Machiichi massaged his forehead. Seeing the girl's vacant expression, he realized she probably used to eat plastic directly.

"What kind of mission did you go on?"

"Um..." Xiao Bai thought for a moment, "Went to the World Master's Palace in the Central State, to kill someone uninterested in being the protagonist, called... Su Ming'an. But I failed, the White Fox saved him, how frustrating."

Yamada Machiichi froze, grateful that it hadn't succeeded. He casually probed:

"How many people are there in your Order Guardian group, Xiao Bai, do you know?"

"Three."

Yamada Machiichi didn't expect such a strong organization to have so few members.

At this moment, Xiao Bai raised her head, "A colleague is here."

Outside, a steady knock sounded at the door, three times, followed by approaching footsteps.

A youth with flowing golden hair, a silver headband fluttering, and eyes like a deep blue sea walked in, his blue and white robe billowing. He stopped at the door and spoke gently, "Xiao Bai, the World Tree has issued a new task, come with me... Hmm? Yamada, you're here too."

"Hmm." Yamada Machiichi nodded.

This golden-haired youth was the ally he clung to—the powerful Hui Bai, one of the formidable members of [Order Guardian].

"Can I join this task?" Yamada Machiichi leaned closer.

Hui Bai smiled warmly, "No, we need to use the Genesis Spell to create a child, you take a good rest."

After they left, Yamada Machiichi hesitated for a moment, settled Zhi Fei, and secretly followed them.

Yi Song looked at the selection invitation on the table.

Outside the window, the clamor of the people was incessant.

"The World Tree has issued an emergency evacuation—claiming the End of All Things God wants to destroy us on the tenth day, but if we write good stories, we can be saved! Everyone, quickly go get paper and pens, we must hurry and write a good story within these five days!"

"Quick, go get the relief supplies!"

Yi Song frowned.

The information he gathered was that on the tenth day of the "Mid-term Selection," the World Tree would obliterate billions of people with low story scores. But now the message released by the World Tree was that the tenth day was called "The Arrival of the End of All Things God," who would destroy people on that day.

—The two statements were completely contradictory, which one was true?

The World Tree wants to save people, and the End of All Things God wants to kill people?

Or does the World Tree want to kill people, and the End of All Things God wants to save them?

Yi Song picked up the invitation.

The World Master surely knows a lot of information, if he could use the Flower Gathering Conference to become a thorn in the World Master's side...

World Tree, End of All Things God, World Master, Sique.

The four factions are already clearly visible.

—How will other players choose? How will other Full Perfect Clear players choose? Will they lift Su Ming'an high for a final wish, like the Shan Changge of the World of Old Days? Or will they abandon their homes for Dimensional Ascension and turn against Su Ming'an?

The former guided by righteousness, the latter guided by self-interest. Many will surely make different choices.

Then, his choice is actually very clear—

"I still want to ask him about the way of emotions, to spread the light of love for my patients." Yi Song smiled.

He signed his name on the invitation.

"...So, let's travel together for now."
