"World Guardian?" / "Are Anomalies all man-made?"
After Xiao Xiao Bai's words fell, Bai Zhi and Positive and Negative almost simultaneously asked two entirely different questions.
"..."
After glancing at Positive and Negative in front of her, Xiao Xiao Bai turned to Bai Zhi.
"In the era I lived in, some worlds had a small chance of producing an existence that transcended that world. There could be one and only one person in each world who could transcend it. People like that were commonly known as World Guardians."
"Did you have enemies back then?"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi asked her.
"No."
Understanding what Bai Zhi was asking, Xiao Xiao Bai shook her head.
"The status of a World Guardian wasn't something as common as Chinese cabbage. Only one could emerge from a world, and sometimes none would emerge at all. Those of wicked character could never obtain such qualification. In our era, there were no systems like the ones you speak of, nor were there any so-called Players. There were only World Guardians who had gathered together for all kinds of reasons."
"What was your usual work?"
Bai Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Running restaurants, catching fish, cooking?"
"Maintaining the stability of worlds and preventing them from being destroyed for various reasons. Sometimes, there were also unexpected situations that required us to resolve."
Xiao Xiao Bai gave him an expressionless glance.
"We never had enemies, until the sudden arrival of that disaster."
"Are Anomalies all man-made?"
Seeing that Xiao Xiao Bai had ignored her, Positive and Negative took advantage of the pause in their conversation to repeat her question.
"I don't know. My era is too far removed from yours."
Turning to look at her, Xiao Xiao Bai's tone returned to calmness.
"The disaster came too suddenly.
