It was the second hour of the night.
Ning Rongrong's slender jade legs slowly stepped forward.
She had already finished reading her Diary! From beginning to end, she had read every update's contents once. She only wanted to see the world through the diary's perspective.
"I didn't expect..."
"In that era, when no one knew of her existence, the person revered as the Sea God was actually Tang San."
"He was actually the first Void Prisoner!"
Ning Rongrong felt stifled.
She began to suspect that the history of the Sea God Tang San was not entirely correct. At the very least, it had been altered by the people who came after him.
The next moment.
Below the diary, a line of dark golden text slowly emerged, carrying an irresistible sense of destiny.
[Diary owner—current time alternate fragment:]
[Vice diary owner, Ning Rongrong. You have obtained the right to use the current-time marker.]
[Randomly selecting the current-time diary owner—among the other diary owners, you may choose one person to communicate with. The time limit is one hour. You may remain in the current-time owner's body for three days.]
"!!!"
"Choose..."
Ning Rongrong's breathing became hurried.
If the words in the diary were truly a hidden blade aimed at Tang San, then this alternate fragment was a lifeline that could save her from that tragic ending.
"My chance to go to that world?"
"The era when the Angel God Qian Renxue was still alive!"
Ning Rongrong muttered to herself, her breath coming faster.
"If I could return to the moment before the final battle... could I change the ending of the battle between the gods and the sole survivor, or perhaps let Chen Xin..."
Ning Rongrong's slender hand gripped the Angel Sword.
A beautiful blush spread across her face.
"Bastard... what kind of existence are you, exactly?"
Ning Rongrong bit her lip, raised her head toward the dark sky, and the Angel Sword in her hand burst into a clear cry.
"..."
At the same time, Star Dou Forest.
"The first Void Prisoner actually says that the Heaven Dou Empire is fun... Does he want me to bring him to some other place to fight? Those noble clans..."
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled without saying anything.
The two of them were just about to enter the Great Star Dou Forest's central area when they stopped at a tavern along the road.
"Azure Pavilion."
Zhu Zhuqing followed Lin Chen's gaze. He looked toward the enormous building that seemed to have been carved out of crystal, so tall that it pierced the clouds and even revealed faint wisps of white mist.
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing fell silent for a moment.
As a woman, she had always been extremely confident in her appearance, and she was no less proud even when facing other places.
"Heh heh, I didn't expect the Void Prisoner to be able to deceive even a mature woman so easily."
Lin Chen curled his lips, revealing a playful smile.
But in the crowd, they could see...
Three familiar figures swaggered toward the crystal building.
The one in front was a young man with golden hair, his every movement exuding an arrogant air.
It was Dai Mubai!
Behind him, a chubby little fellow was anxiously tugging at his sleeve. Beside them followed Han San, who held a long sword and laughed foolishly without pause.
"Boss Dai, I heard that a new girl arrived at the tavern tonight. Let's go inside and have a look. Maybe she'll have enough strength to accompany us!"
Dai Mubai laughed loudly and patted the fatty's shoulder.
"Don't worry. In the Star Dou Empire, I'm the one who makes the decisions!"
The nearby Oscar's expression was somewhat awkward.
"Ah, today only Dai Mubai was left. How are we supposed to find three women? What are we going to do?"
At the mention of this matter, the expressions of the three men all turned somewhat unpleasant.
Han San had already been taken away by Han Chen, and Xiao Wu's whereabouts were unknown. Mi Ruoxi and Zhu Zhuqing had long since left the academy.
Now, only...
The remaining one was his third sister!
Oscar directly abandoned himself to despair.
"Ha! Zhu Zhuqing... I've been waiting for her to be betrayed for a long time. Today, I'll first go outside and find a woman who isn't much different from her."
Dai Mubai gave a cold snort.
Oscar immediately grinned. "Then I'll find one who isn't much different from Mi Ruoxi."
"Then I'll take Xiao Wu!"
"..."
Zhu Zhuqing watched this scene unfold. The disgust in her eyes had already overflowed, but she did not expect...
These three would actually be able to become the laughingstock of the entire continent.
And she had even heard Zhu Zhuqing and Mi Ruoxi's names!
"So that's the reason Zhuqing and Mi Ruoxi left the academy..."
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly understood. The reason was too obvious.
Lin Chen did not respond. His eyes gradually became cold, and a terrifying killing intent instantly surged through him.
"Something happened."
Mi Ruoxi lowered her voice and said one sentence.
"What?" Bull Tianqing asked in confusion.
"You really believe that nonsense." Mi Ruoxi's lips curled slightly.
At the entrance of an alley several hundred meters away from the tavern, three figures wearing cloaks stood silently in the shadows.
Even across the distance, Lin Chen could sense the cold killing intent that seemed capable of freezing the entire space.
That was Zhu Zhuqing.
Behind her, the small dagger in Mi Ruoxi's hand had already twisted from rage. The seven-colored glazed light in her hand had not yet brightened.
But the soul-power fluctuations that had been accumulating for four weeks had already distorted the surrounding space!
Ning Rongrong's ability was to actively follow them.
After all, she had also learned from her diary about the conflict between Dai Mubai and Oscar. As their good sister, she had come over to help, but she had arrived a step too late.
"..."
Lin Chen gradually understood. He quickly calculated the situation in his heart.
"Zhu Zhuqing's soul power has reached the Soul Emperor rank. At present, she should possess at least thirty points of affinity with the deputy deity, and may even have obtained the third divine test."
"Dai Mubai has already obtained the thirty-first-level soul power of the White Tiger Martial Soul. Even if he attacks first, he is only asking to be defeated."
Unexpectedly, he could sense Zhu Zhuqing's killing intent.
The cold aura.
Unfortunately, she did not attack immediately. Instead, she seemed to be waiting for the right opportunity, and had Mi Ruoxi send Dai Mubai into Azure Pavilion.
"Dai Mubai..."
"I will let you die while doing the thing you hate most."
Zhu Zhuqing's cold voice fell.
Zhu Zhuqing's long hair whipped through the air, and her body transformed into a black shadow, instantly disappearing into the darkness of the passage.
In the next moment—
She transformed into a phantom and leapt into the building's courtyard.
The Azure Pavilion, Mi Ruoxi, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived before the two people.
When they saw Lin Chen, both of them were stunned.
"Mi Ruoxi?!"
"Why are you here in Azure Pavilion..."
First, Mi Ruoxi was startled by Lin Chen's appearance. Zhu Zhuqing naturally felt somewhat embarrassed at this moment.
But Mi Ruoxi's counterattack was not weak.
"This isn't coming here to celebrate your reunion with your little sister. You brought a woman into Azure Pavilion—could it be that you don't find it embarrassing?"
Lin Chen asked.
"Zhuqing..."
"..."
Mi Ruoxi: "..."
"..."
At the same time, inside an extravagant room.
Dai Mubai finished drinking a jar of wine. After a short while, he suddenly sensed that the circulation of soul power throughout his body had completely stopped.
"Ha ha! This old man is really strong!"
Dai Mubai suddenly felt no danger at all.
He had originally planned to take a bath, but the crystal light suddenly flashed, and a cold blade of light abruptly erupted.
"Ah—!"
Zhu Zhuqing's attack was even more ferocious than before. The blade of light slashed directly toward Dai Mubai's throat. At the same time, another hidden blade shot straight toward Dai Mubai's heart.
