A few minutes later.

The car veered into a corner of a parking lot.

A flash of golden light appeared inside the car, God Clan Ding Luo transformed into a phantom, flying towards the school.

Her speed is much faster than that of a hovercar.

The surrounding city buildings flashed by like fleeting shadows.

A dozen seconds later, inside the school, Ding Luo conjured a golden spear with one hand and pierced the psionic monster on the ground.

It was blasted apart, turning into countless streams of black smoke.

The monster was easily dealt with, but her expression remained grim.

"Where are the guards?! Why aren't they showing up?!" She lashed out directly in the imprint.

"We... we didn't receive any notification at all... sorry, Sister Luo, there might be a problem with the alarm system." The reply came from a nearby guard through the microphone.

Upon hearing this, Ding Luo's expression became even more unpleasant.

She said nothing more, but silently glanced at her younger brother Lin Hui, who was huddled among a group of people underground.

She turned around and quickly returned to the direction where she was standing.

Lin Hui seemed to sense something and looked up in the direction she had left.

He was naturally aware of the changes outside, and he recognized Ding Luo's God Clan figure, but this was just a simple battle to eliminate psionic monsters. Apart from the monsters being a bit too weak, there seemed to be no other problems.

After the monsters were cleared out and the news was quickly received, everyone emerged from their hiding place and the normal teaching resumed.

Aside from some damage to ground facilities, the attack caused no casualties.

People quickly forgot about it.

Time passed slowly.

Lin Hui stopped challenging others and instead began to cultivate diligently with a different approach.

If even a single world can produce a leader who shapes its Time String, then in multiple worlds, wouldn't there be even more such figures?

If a world is in a period of stability and there is no opportunity for the emergence of a Time String, then he would switch to another world. With this in mind, he began to devise a plan to continuously switch worlds and cultivate the Great Yin Yang Time Reversal Sword Technique.

And just then...

Bang!

The door to the Ding Family's house was slammed shut.

Lin Hui, who had already gone home from school, was playing cards with his Second Brother when they heard the noise and turned to look at the door.

Just then, I saw my eldest sister, Ding Luo, with her long hair loose, wearing a purple suit and black stockings, standing at the door with her head down.

The evening sunlight slanted in, bathing half of her body in a pale red hue.

"Yi Ran, Ding Lin, come here for a moment."

Ding Luo didn't come in; instead, he called out the names of his two younger brothers first.

The two put down their cards, got up, and walked over.

"What's wrong, sis?" Ding Yiran asked, puzzled.

"Come here, let me hug you." Ding Luo gently reached out and pulled her younger brother into her arms.

Normally she's very careful not to let this guy take advantage of her, but this time she seems to care completely.

Letting her younger brother press close to her chest, this unusual behavior made Ding Yiran forget about taking advantage; she immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Wait, sis, what are you doing? Why are you reacting like that? Don't scare me!"

Without replying, Ding Luo released him and looked at Lin Hui again.

"Come."

Lin Hui blinked, stepped forward, and was pulled into a hug.

It lasted for several minutes.

Ding Luo then released him.

"My sister has some business to attend to at her company, and she might have to go on a business trip to a very far place..." Ding Luo looked at her two younger brothers and answered softly.

"No, it's just a business trip, is it really necessary to make such a fuss?" Ding Yiran a sigh of relief.

"I'm just a little reluctant to leave you all, because I'm going to a very far place this time, and it will be for a long time." Ding Luo forced a smile.

"We can still keep in touch, right? We can always buy tickets to visit you later," Ding Yizai said nonchalantly.

"It will be very expensive. The price of interstellar communication fluctuates greatly and is unstable," Ding Luo said softly.

"How long will it take?" Lin Hui asked the crucial question.

"I'm not sure, maybe in years..." Ding Luo said with a somber expression.

"Just like my Second Brother said, at worst we'll work and save up money to come see you together. Don't worry," Lin Hui said with a smile.

"Hmm, I'm not worried... That's what my parents said too. Actually..." Ding Luo hesitated, but didn't finish her sentence.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Come on, I bought a lot of vegetables and meat today, they'll be delivered soon. Let's have a hot pot together, the three of us. It's been a long time since we've all eaten together around a pot," Ding Luo said with a smile.

Ding Yiran echoed her sentiment, and the three of them began to pack and prepare.

Ten minutes later, the food arrived, and everyone worked together to make a quick hot pot.

That evening, they watched a newly released horror movie together. Ding Yizai snuggling into her sister's arms.

Ding Luo slapped him a few times before he finally calmed down.

After showering at night, everyone went back to their rooms.

"Good night."

"When are you leaving, sister?" Lin Hui asked.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow morning." Ding Luo's smile faded slightly.

"Are you sure it's okay?" Lin Hui asked again. "If you really don't want to, can't you refuse?"

"No... I can't refuse, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get such good treatment." Ding Luo sighed.

This transfer didn't come suddenly; in fact, she had anticipated it during the previous tests.

I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.

"Understood." Lin Hui nodded.

He had more or less guessed what was going on with the other party, but he couldn't interfere.

The other party is God Clan, and the identity of this family member is merely a shell.

Standing in front of their respective bedroom doors, Ding Luo and Lin Hui looked at each other.

"After I leave, you and your brother will be free from constraints, so don't be too indulgent. Make sure you eat on time every day... and rest on time." Ding Luo lowered his head and whispered his instructions.

"Understood..." Lin Hui nodded.

What followed was a long silence.

Until Ding Yiran also opened the bedroom door and came out.

Ding Luo turned around, closed the door, and rested.

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Lin Hui and Ding Yiran got up and found that Ding Luo had already left.

A small note was stuck on the room door as a final farewell.

High in the sky, thousands of kilometers away from the Ding Family.

Ding Luo's figure flashed and appeared, looking at the two divine soldiers who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Let's go.

"Don't worry, it's just a normal transfer. Your current condition is no longer suitable for continuing your work in the human realm, and a new person will take over as the city garrison officer," a divine soldier clad in full golden armor said in a deep voice.

"The person who will replace me... will they replace my physical body?" Ding Luo paused, then asked.

"Yes. She will continue her mission using your human identity until the handover period begins sixty years later." The other divine soldier nodded.

"..." Ding Luo smiled bitterly, turned around and looked in the direction of his two younger brothers' home. The last bit of concern in his heart could only be helplessly hidden deep in his heart.

"Let's go. Thank you both."

"Um.

The two men, one on each side, seemed to be preventing her from escaping, and together they sped up into the sky.

As the three of them increased their speed, suddenly, with a whoosh...

A golden ring flashed past in front of the three of them.

The ring appeared and then disappeared; in a mere instant, the three figures vanished.

After Ding Luo left.

Ding Yizai to school to prepare for her graduation thesis.

Lin Hui then began preparing for the upcoming college entrance examination.

Meanwhile, as the little girl Lin Yuexiu's swordsmanship training accelerated, her physique also displayed extraordinary qualities.

Ding ding ding!

In the courtyard, Lin Hui and Lin Yuexiu exchanged blows in a flash, exchanging more than ten strikes in a single second.

Finally, Lin Yuexiu's longsword was knocked out of her hand and accurately pierced into the wall on one side.

"Your progress is very fast... The Nine Section Fast Sword is complete. Next, it's time for the Clear Sword Technique..." Lin Hui's expression was subtle. He could vaguely sense a strange and mysterious aura emanating from the other party.

Since he began practicing the sword technique, he discovered that the concentration of the golden aura emanating from Lin Yuexiu's body had actually increased.

Previously, one group could shorten his time by one year; now, one group can shorten it by three years. The frequency remains the same, but the quality has improved dramatically.

Clearly, this golden aura is strongly correlated with Lin Yuexiu's physique, spirit, and strength.

Another point is that Lin Yuexiu's physique really surprised him.

He had seen many children with special physical conditions, but none of them moved him as much as the girl in front of him.

It's not about comprehension, but physical ability.

Lin Yuexiu's physical strength seemed to be unlimited. No matter how long she sparred with him, she was as if nothing had happened. Even if she was so tired that she fainted, she could get up and revive on the spot after lying down for just five minutes.

His energy was so abundant it was practically superhuman.

At first, he thought the other party was connected to the Source Disaster within their body, but after careful examination, he found no trace of the Source Disaster.

This creature's physical structure is far more complex than that of ordinary humans. It seems to continuously absorb energy particles from the surrounding void and convert them into its own energy consumption.

No wonder he was able to absorb the golden aura from the other party and boost his energy.

"How are you feeling right now?" Lin Hui asked, looking at Lin Yuexiu.

"Very good..." Lin Yuexiu replied.

Lin Hui was shocked, and she was also quite shocked.

She hadn't told the truth before because she was worried about implicating Lin Hui, and she only practiced the sword techniques that Lin Hui taught her casually.

Unexpectedly, just practicing casually as if it were a game, it produced results in such a short time.

She now clearly feels a significant increase in her overall physical fitness, with her speed and strength greatly improved.

The magnitude of the enhancement is comparable to the various cultivation methods within the God Clan.

Most importantly, with her demigod-like physique, she dared not cultivate the God Clan's cultivation methods, because the fluctuations of Divine Power would inevitably attract pursuit and killing. Moreover, this was the mortal realm, and it would be difficult to find a place to absorb endless Divine Power.

Even if she did have a cultivation technique, she wouldn't be able to practice it.

Therefore, what she had initially thought was just ordinary swordplay for physical exercise now held a strange glimmer of hope for her.

"Teacher, what's the highest level your swordsmanship can reach?"

With a hint of anticipation in her heart, Lin Yuexiu couldn't help but ask.

The God Clan's cultivation techniques can fully utilize God Clan advantages and unleash terrifying destructive power; they are the optimal methods for developing the power of one's bloodline. Some powerful ones, when mastered to their extreme, can even destroy stars.

She'd heard there were even stronger ones, but those were for controlling resources. She didn't know exactly how strong they were, but the ability to destroy stars was already terrifying.

"Intensity? I'm not sure about the intensity either, but you should start practicing. I feel that you are quite compatible with our sect's swordsmanship," Lin Hui explained.

He hasn't cast any Dharma Seal on the opponent yet. If he were to add various acceleration methods on top of that, the resulting golden aura would be unimaginable.

Looking at Lin Yuexiu in front of him, Lin Hui felt for the first time that he was looking at a little hen that would lay golden eggs.
