Mission Accomplished

Alas, the original plot was irreversible.

Cai'er, my little sister... I should just protect my little sister Cai'er from behind.

A cold yet long-familiar mechanical voice sounded. "Ding-dong: Host, congratulations on successfully passing the God of Reincarnation's trial. A beginner's gift pack is now being issued. Host, would you like to use the beginner's gift pack?"

Use it.

"Ding-dong, Host has successfully opened the beginner's gift pack. Since the Host has already obtained the God of Reincarnation assassin class..."

"All five classes may now be selected at once."

"Class One: Knight. Includes Light Attribute enhancement and a 100% chance of awakening the Child of Light physique..."

"Ding, since the Host has passed all of the God of Reincarnation's trials, and the God of Reincarnation is affiliated with the Dark Attribute while the Child of Light possesses the Light Attribute—where there is light, there is darkness—the Child of Light physique has advanced into the God of Light..."

"Class Two: Warrior. Includes the Berserk talent, Giant Spirit God Inheritance, and Giant Spirit God Shield..."

"Class Three: Priest. Includes Life Element enhancement and a 100% chance of awakening the Child of Life physique..."

"Class Four: Mage. Includes affinity enhancement for all elements and a 100% chance of comprehending the Magic Potion Domain..."

"Class Five: Summoner. Includes Soul Strength enhancement, Gate of Living Beings, and a 100% chance of awakening the Child of Soul physique..."

"Since this is the Host's first completed system mission..."

"The Eternal Creation Divine Throne is included as a bonus."

System, use the all-at-once selection.

Alright...

Congratulations, Host. You have obtained all classes.

Since the Host has obtained the Eternal Creation Divine Throne...

All physiques have advanced into divine physiques.

System, are you really this generous? Other systems would throw out a bug and let transmigrators pick everything at once.

Of course. This system is the best in the system world.

"Ding, congratulations, Host, on unlocking a hidden reward."

A hidden reward???

System, what the hell is this? Haven't my rewards already been issued?

Host, because all your physiques have risen to the divine level, you unlocked the hidden reward.

Would you like to open the hidden reward?

Open it.

Opening...

Successfully opened. Congratulations, Host, on obtaining the God of Heavenly Scourge...

Seriously, System? Are you trying to get me killed and destroy this world?

Don't worry, Host. He is 100% loyal to you and has a blood contract with you. If he ever thinks of betraying you, he will die.

Alright, then I'm relieved.

"Don't worry~, Host. This system is a conscientious product, guaranteed quality."

Mm-hm, alright, I get it. Exit the system world.

"But, Host, the hidden reward hasn't finished being issued yet."

It's fine, it won't run away. I need to head out now. I'll collect the rest together the next time I enter the System Space.

"Alrighty."

Now I need to go pay my respects to my adoptive parents. Brother, are you going to Father and Mother's place too? Come with me.

Alright.

Then wait for me, Brother.

At that moment, Gu Sheng suddenly thought, Cai'er... if we go to our adoptive parents and things turn out like in the original story, she'll be abandoned.

No. Even though I know the original plot cannot be reversed, I have to overturn this tragic fate now. I had no strength before, but now that I do, I have the responsibility to protect my little sister's life.

At this moment, Cai'er also knew what was about to happen, because her brother had written about it in his notes.

But, Brother... I'm already far better off than I was in the original plot. So... Brother, don't worry. Cai'er was already prepared. She got dressed and headed out as well.

After stepping outside, she saw her brother muttering to himself nonstop. His notes had mentioned how he wanted to rewrite the original story, only to end in disastrous failure.

Life in this other world was not smooth sailing for every transmigrator. Some had to fight the heavens, fight the earth, and fight other people at every moment.

After Cai'er finished recalling those memories, she lightly ran behind her brother and hugged him.

Gu Sheng froze. "What's wrong, Cai'er? Did someone bully you? Your brother will go demand justice for you right now. Anyone who dares bully my little sister must be tired of living."

Cai'er thought, The one bullying me is you, you big idiot. Stupid brother.

But she said, "No... it's just like what was written in Brother's notes."

Gu Sheng said that it was all false and told her not to take it to heart.

But inwardly, he thought, It should have burned. It made my sister suffer so much.

He gently patted her head and said, "All right, let's go pay our respects to Father and Mother."

As they walked toward their parents' hall, each had their own thoughts. One was pondering how to keep his sister from being abandoned, while the other was anxiously preparing herself to prevent her brother from losing control.

Before long, they arrived at their parents' hall. As they entered, they found their parents about to speak.

Gu Sheng quickly answered, "Cai'er did not awaken the physique of the Child of Reincarnation. On my way back to the Assassin Temple, I already investigated it. There is no such thing. So please rest assured, Father, Mother."

Just as Cai'er was about to speak, Gu Sheng stopped her.

He replied, "Do not believe the reports of petty people."

Before Gu Sheng could explain further, Sheng Lingxin cut him off.

"Sheng'er, I know what you want to do. And do not speak of Cai'er's matter. We know you want to keep Cai'er from being abandoned, because you know that Cai'er, like you, would grow up without a complete family's love. But you also know that if Cai'er does not go, how will humanity fight against the Demon God Emperor?"

"Do not interrupt me either. I know what you are thinking now. You want to say that defeating the Demon God Emperor is something you can handle alone, that Cai'er should not be sent, and that you do not want her to become like you."

"One more Child of Reincarnation means one more safeguard."

Is it really irreversible? Gu Sheng thought.

As Gu Sheng pondered this, Sheng Lingxin and Lan Yanyu said, "We will not abandon Cai'er."

"Perhaps before you accepted the Child of Reincarnation's trial, you made us agree to something before you were willing to undergo it."

"I forgot."

"You said you could undergo the cruel trials and training of the Child of Reincarnation. But the condition for taking the trial was that the child we were about to have—if she also possessed the physique of a Child of Reincarnation—we could not abandon her."

"You even made us swear an oath before you agreed to go. After all, you knew that one of the trials of the Child of Reincarnation involved losing one's memories."

"So we will not abandon Cai'er. Do you understand?"

Only then did Gu Sheng finally relax, as though a great weight had been lifted from his heart.

"Then Sheng'er thanks Father and Mother. If there is nothing else, Sheng'er will take his leave first. You can talk with Cai'er."

He came to Cai'er and said happily, "You should have a good talk with your parents. Your brother will be leaving first."

"Mm, all right, Brother."

After her brother left, Cai'er's icy aura spread out.

"Cai'er, I know you are still angry with us, resentful that we sent your brother to the battlefield, but didn't we have no choice? After all..."

"Demon God Huang Fengxiu is so powerful. Can you stop being angry with your father and me?"

"Fine. I won't be angry with you anymore."

"But I want to know whether my brother is really your biological son. Since he asked, we will answer everything we know..."

"No. Your brother is not our biological son. After your father and I fought Huang Fengxiu and returned, he fell from the sky."

"At the time, we saw that he seemed to have the support of the earth—"

"No, I don't want to hear that. I want the truth."

"All right. After your father and I finished that battle, people from the demon race were still pursuing us. At that time, both your father and I had suffered severe injuries and no longer had the strength to fight. We thought we would die there. But just then, your brother descended from the sky, radiating the aura of a Child of Reincarnation, and frightened off the pursuers chasing us."

"Only then did we have the strength to catch our breath. The instant your brother landed before us, all the severe injuries on our bodies completely healed."
