After Calming Soul Country’s destruction.
Gu Qing Shan’s group was heading towards the Bramble Bird Kingdom.
At the same time.
Gu Qing Shan’s homeworld.
Su Xue Er had put the 9 Lords’ star chart away, currently flying into space.
The gigantic fleet of interstellar fortresses hovered in the sky, several Mobile Mechs were stationed within a certain distance to ensure her safety.
Impartial Goddess’s voice continued to sound from the personal Holo-brain in her chest pocket:
[Miss Su Xue Er]
[The backflow of the Abyss has ended. The spatial fluctuations are currently settling down]
[Through calculations, the world’s security constant had already begun to increase again, soon reaching its average]
[The above was the real-time situational statistics, report complete]
Su Xue Er silently listened, then couldn’t help but ask: “Why did you have to tell me about these things?”
Impartial Goddess replied: [Because you were the appointed heir of the 9 Lords]
“No——- I recall it quite well, the 9 Lords did not have such a level of authority] Su Xue Er refuted.
Impartial Goddess went silent for a while before responding: [You must enter the S.W. Divine Temple before I can provide you the answer]
Su Xue Er thought briefly before telling her: “Wait a moment, I’ll meet you on the S.W. Divine Temple”
She accelerated, swiftly made her way through the darkness of space and went out of sight.
…
The S.W. Divine Temple.
A man with a swollen face came to greet Su Xue Er.
“You are… the scientist called Liao Xing?” Su Xue Er observed him carefully for a while before asking.
“Ah, I certainly am. Beautiful lady, I’m surprised that you still remember me” Liao Xing narrowed his now-beady eyes to observe her.
——-how did this girl become even more beautiful after such a short while?
The period of a young fruit reaching maturity was also when it was most alluring, especially for old men of his age.
Su Xue Er continued: “I recall that you were one of Gu Qing Shan’s supporters… what happened? Who bullied you?”
If someone is bullying Gu Qing Shan’s people, then I should step out to help them.
Su Xue Er silently thought.
Liao Xing smiled: “What a personable girl you are. That is no longer important, how about we have a drink together, let us have a slow but interesting conversation——”
Saying so, he took Su Xue Er’s hand, attempting a hand-kissing gesture.
Su Xue Er’s eyes turned sharp.
Bah——
A figure was slapped away, crashing into the metal wall, and got stuck there for several minutes before sliding back down.
Su Xue Er casually said: “I probably understand what happened to you now. If you go looking for troubles of similar nature again, I’ll help Gu Qing Shan come up with a more permanent solution”
Regretfully, Liao Xing had already fainted, no longer able of hearing her.
Su Xue Er continued heading into the interstellar fortress.
Layer after layer of metal gates closed behind her, complete with numerous defensive measures.
Impartial Goddess’ voice resounded again:
[Miss Su Xue Er]
[The world situation is gradually returning to normal, Barry and Kitty who were patrolling the space vortex will soon return to where they set off from]
Su Xue Er nodded.
In the battle of Aboul, the Justice Iron Fist Club’s reputation was renowned to have been the main contributors, and she also knew that they were peak Combatants of the 900 million World Layers.
Gu Qing Shan’s relationship with these people were also very good.
There were no issues with that.
The only issue was that——
Why is Impartial Goddess treating me so cautiously?
Taking her doubt with her, Su Xue Er continued heading deeper and deeper into the Divine Temple.
This place was a secret metallic chamber with nothing but darkness.
The final gate slowly closed behind Su Xue Er.
For some reason, Su Xue Er suddenly felt her heart beating faster.
Impartial Goddess’ voice resounded again: [Miss Su Xue Er, welcome, please verify your identity]
“Got it”
Fingerprints, iris, brainwaves, genetics, and then finally a magical light ring.
[Identity verification completed]
Impartial Goddess’ voice sounded again: [According to the information in my grasp, the 900 million World Layers is currently plunged in Chaos]
“You can connect to the 900 million World Layers?” Su Xue Er couldn’t help but question.
[Indeed, ever since Barry and the others came to this place, they’ve brought information regarding the 900 million World Layers to me one after another. After the advent of Chaos, they saved a few technological Combatants who have aided me greatly] Impartial Goddess replied.
“How strange, you mean the technological Combatants didn’t attempt to gain control over you?” Su Xue Er asked.
Impartial Goddess’ voice turned solemn: [Our world had become a Super Dimensional world, one with proper ownership. Anyone is allowed to take refuge here, but they are forbidden to hold any ill will towards any belonging or resources of our world——- the Super Dimensional gate key is currently in my possession, and this was the rule set up by Barry and Kitty, as well as the commonly recognized rule for all Super Dimensional worlds]
“Who is the owner of this world?” Su Xue Er questioned.
[His Excellency, Gu Qing Shan; as well as the heir of the Starlight Empire, yourself] Impartial Goddess responded.
Su Xue Er was startled.
[Let us get to business, miss Su Xue Er] Impartial Goddess continued: [Following this, you will be exposed to the secret that you and I hold co-ownership over]
Screens of light appeared all around.
Su Xue Er glanced through the multitudes of words on the screen, muttering: “High-ranking world Law and power suppression research, Optimal robotic cluster arrangement project, Biological armor general formula… Wait a minute, what is all of this?”
Impartial Goddess replied: [These are the research results of the highest level of the Starlight Empire’s forefront sciences]
“The Starlight Empire…” Su Xue Er repeated.
Impartial Goddess continued: [Simply put, these research came from a central world, divided into an Empire, Republic, and United Commons during their escape; all of which headed to their end within mutual-assured destruction and war]
[Su Xue Er, I am the greatest culmination of the Starlight Empire’s civilization—— the mainframe developed for Apocalyptic Research and Response]
[At the beginning of their escape, a total of three layers of shackles were placed on me in order to prevent the greed of any advanced technological world. In the end, I entered the Scattered worlds together with the descendant of the Starlight aristocrat – the Guardian of the 9 Lords]
[His excellency Gu Qing Shan removed the first layer of my shackles, allowing me to truly awaken]
[Before her death, through appointing you as the heir, the Guardian of the 9 Lords removed the second layer of my shackles]
[After I obtained the central processing unit of the North Pole airship, with the help of numerous technological experts from the 900 million World Layers, I released the third layer of shackles from myself]
[Su Xue Er, the royal family and aristocrat of Starlight Empire might still exist, scattered around countless worlds, but after countless years, only you and I still inherit the knowledge and authority of the Empire. And thus I must ask you one question]
“Go ahead” Su Xue Er replied.
Impartial Goddess continued: [If one day you become an extremely powerful entity, how will you treat your enemies?]
“My enemies?” Su Xue Er froze.
[Indeed, do you wish to kill them, or how else will you treat them?]
“I…”
Impartial Goddess continued: [Please pay attention, I am currently evaluating your aptitude in order to determine the ratio of the shared authority between yourself and his excellency Gu Qing Shan in this world]
Su Xue Er was hesitant about how to answer the previous question, but immediately answered as she heard this: “What use is determining that? I won’t answer, let him have the full Super Dimensional authority of this world”
[Are you sure?] Impartial Goddess questioned.
“Of course, I’m not going to compete with him for anything” Su Xue Er replied.
Impartial Goddess seemed to have been caught a bit off-guard, so she went silent briefly before continuing: [It isn’t quite that simple… I know your relationship with Gu Qing Shan. According to the constitution of the Starlight Empire, if the two of you get married one day, such division would still be necessary as a part of protocol]
[Otherwise, neither he nor yourself will be able to receive the Super Dimensional authority of this world—— as such, please seriously answer the question]
Hearing this explanation, Su Xue Er’s face went flushed.
Get married…
Impartial Goddess is most likely a unique advanced artificial intelligence. If I refuse to answer, she will most likely act as protocol dictates.
If that’s the case, Qing Shan wouldn’t be able to use his own authority in this Super Dimensional world.
——since it’s related to such an important matter, I should give an answer.
Su Xue Er thought briefly before answering: “Earlier, I was beaten up really badly. Only after I was stepped under their foot did I understand that if a person isn’t strong enough, they wouldn’t even be able to follow the one they wished to, let alone protect them”
“That’s why I just want to become stronger—- if I can truly become that strong, all I want to do is be with Gu Qing Shan, everything else doesn’t matter”
“As for enemies… I no longer want to be enemies with anybody”
“Ah, right, other than love rivals, but you weren’t asking about emotions or feelings, were you?”
Hearing her answer, Impartial Goddess became silent for a long while.
Su Xue Er nervously continued: “Hey, are you finished yet? How do you think the authority should be shared between me and him? I’ll just say this first, I don’t want anything, just give it all to him”
At this point, Impartial Goddess’ voice resounded again:
[It hasn’t finished, Su Xue Er, let us change the question slightly]
[If someone declared themselves to be Gu Qing Shan’s enemy, constantly looking for an opportunity to kill Gu Qing Shan, while you have gained immense power, what would you do?]
Su Xue Er’s nervousness and hesitation vanished without a trace.
Intense killing intent rose from her body, even her voice exuded the coldness of her killing intent:
“Then I will kill them, erasing even their soul from this world, making absolutely sure that they will never bother Gu Qing Shan again”
The voices faded.
The entire S.W. Divine Temple fell silent.
One breath,
Two breaths,
Three breaths.
The advanced technological weapons that were prepared in the deepest chamber of the Divine Temple, enough to destroy several worlds, were silently put away.
Even deeper in the shadow, a female voice that carried a hint of regret faintly resounded:
[Fine…]
[In consideration of that answer, I won’t kill you]
