This wisp of remnant soul almost affected the integrity of his Dao Fruit image.
Although she was initially just worried, Shion had actually guessed that it wasn't that simple.
It's a pity I haven't refined the Human Emperor Banner yet; otherwise, binding and refining this wisp of remnant soul might have made my Time Dao Fruit more stable.
Fellow Daoist Lu Ya has already returned to the past, so refining this remnant soul shouldn't affect her.
However, it was too late to say anything at this point. Shion could only silently reflect on her own shortcomings, realizing that her preparations were not thorough enough.
In the future, if I encounter something like this again, I must not be helpless.
He glanced again at the heart and the Time Dao Fruit in his hand.
I don't know how much effort and hard work went into it, but the Dao Fruit is innocent.
Moreover, so many people have already died. Although the sins are numerous, wouldn't it be a betrayal of the sacrifices of those who died if we didn't use this now?
The real sinner Lu Ya, has already been brought to justice. Now, by using this Dao Fruit, she is actually acting on behalf of Heaven!
I will inherit the will of all the dead and use the Time Dao Fruit for righteous purposes!
This is the proper use of an evil tool; it is the true path!
After comforting herself with this thought, Shion finally took stock of all her gains.
Then I felt my own power.
The rules of Full Bloom are still clamoring wildly, wanting to return their essence and spirit to heaven.
Endless and without end.
Is this the noise we have to endure after the flowers have fully Full Bloom?
Shion coldly curled the corners of her lips, and simply used her unparalleled divine sense to smash fiercely onto Full Bloom's power and rules!
The Space Dao Seed within their own bodies surged, and a space of tendrils began to evolve, surprising both the Emperor and the Little Black Dragon.
"What kind of father are you going to be!"
"Create Grotto-Heaven, and reap the great fruit!"
Just as she was about to use the method of merging with the Grotto-Heaven to solve the hidden danger of Man Kai Full Bloom and for all, she suddenly raised her head.
He gazed at the void that had previously rippled.
Why hide?
When did I hide?
The Prince stroked the now-assembled Void Mirror, sitting within its Mirror Space with undisguised disgust and hatred. "I only wanted to see your death. I never imagined that the legendary Chongxu Forbidden Demon would be so pathetic."
"He's a bit better than you."
The initial arrogance on that side immediately diminished considerably.
Shion paused slightly, not expecting that she would not refute.
Although he was telling the truth, given the Prince's personality, he would certainly not admit it.
Shion wasn't a sharp-tongued person, so she gave the other party a way out, easing the tension between them. In the end, Nalan Yanran and Flame Emperor were not mortal enemies.
Shion naturally didn't feel that she had to be at odds with Prince Nalan to the death.
Rather than saying that it's better to be Xiaoxiao and let bygones be bygones, then you'll truly demonstrate a broad mind and good character.
This is also where Flame Emperor Yan differed from others.
Therefore, the magnanimous Shion naturally intended to give the other party a way out, since they had joined the Holy Church and would inevitably run into each other in the future.
Shion, who is skilled at handling interpersonal relationships, did not intend to make the atmosphere too tense.
The other party remained silent for a long time, showing no intention of refuting.
In fact, the Prince wanted to refute it.
But after thinking for a long time, although she was very unconvinced, she Return to Truth couldn't find a reason to refute it.
The Prince wasn't one to be stubborn, so he could only say, "He is indeed stronger than me, but what's the point? In the end, he'll just become a soul in your hands. In this life, it's not about height, but length—"
As they were talking, they heard a reply from the other end, "Not bad."
The Prince was momentarily speechless.
She thought for a long time, and finally could only snort coldly, "Don't think that saying a few nice words will make our past grievances go away. Our business will never end."
"With such an invincible spirit, you are indeed a promising Seedling for enlightenment."
The condescending comments, though they displeased the Prince, were something he had to admit.
The person in front of me has the right to comment.
She kept changing the coordinates of the Mirror Space to prevent Shion from finding her—although this was just a futile attempt to deceive herself.
But it's very important to Yitaen.
This allows her to comfort herself that the reason they can talk now is not because Shion still has feelings for her.
It's simply because the other person can't find them.
Thinking of this, a pang of bitterness welled up in her heart again. She sat on the ground, leaning against the simple wall of the Mirror Space in a very disheveled manner, with one leg curled up and the other spread out. The delicate skin wrapped in black stockings gently rubbed against the mirror surface of the space, leaving faint traces.
Completely disregarding her image, she maintained her dignity. "You Return to Truth have no mercy. No matter how many times, no matter who it is, even a girl like Lu Ya, nothing can make you waver in the slightest. Do you feel any pain or spare any effort?"
"Young Prince, why do you speak like a sissy today?"
"I am a girl! And I am no longer Prince. I've said it countless times, I am the Mirror King, the ruler of the Mirror Kingdom!"
"Feel sorry."
Suddenly, I heard someone say, "I'm used to it. I'm more used to being called ' Prince '."
She opened her mouth, then pressed her hand to her heart, which had suddenly started beating rapidly and abnormally.
She bit her lip hard, suppressing her reaction.
Don't act frivolously like a little pet.
I am the king who rules the Land of Mirrors!
So she channeled her suppressed emotions into a cold laugh, "Fine, it's too much to ask someone with your brain capacity to remember all the changes in how I address you. Prince it is Prince, I'm more used to being called Si Motu— "
That's a pseudonym, don't call me that.
"You're applying double standards now!"
"Young Prince's temperament has deteriorated further."
Unable to contain himself any longer, the Prince said somewhat angrily, "Better than you!"
After taking a couple of quick breaths, she realized she was being undignified and immediately calmed down.
Looking around, the Prince's Mirror Space was still close to Chongxu, so she could naturally sense the changes in Chongxu, but she didn't care and just stared at the Void Mirror.
Lu Ya AI was imprisoned there, and at this moment she was hugging her own legs and squatting there.
The Prince pursed his lips and gently stroked the girl's reflection in the mirror.
It's like caressing your past, down-and-out self.
"You just killed Lu Ya like that, don't you feel anything?"
Why do we need feelings?
"You two are friends, right?"
"Fellow Daoist."
"Whether they are friends or fellow cultivators, can you please go easy on them?"
After a pause, the Prince continued, "Just like how you treated me back then."
Why, however, did they not kill me?
Despite being a cruel and indifferent anomaly magical girl, she is a nightmare in the Old World that is said to stop children from crying. She spares almost no enemy, and even passing Calamity Beast and remnants of the Old World are mercilessly crushed by this killing machine.
But it was precisely at that moment that he managed to save his life.
Why? Why? Why? Why----
Tormented by this, she couldn't sleep day or night. Hatred, resentment, and humiliation constantly hindered her progress and fueled her hysteria.
There's always that voice asking me.
Why deceive yourself instead of killing yourself?
Even now, seeing Lu Ya, with whom she seems to have taken her relationship to a new level, she is still being mercilessly crushed by the other party.
Such emotions become even more palpable.
So much so that she couldn't help but move closer and make a sound.
Finally, the conversation steered to this point, and she finally voiced the question that had been troubling her so much.
"Why are you going easy on me?"
She didn't know what kind of answer she wanted.
That day, as she drifted down from the world, she watched Shion's lips move, and a multitude of emotions were overwhelmed by those words, leaving only melancholy and self-loathing.
In fact, given her pride and arrogance, even if she were tormented to the point of contemplating suicide, she would never have stooped to ask such a question.
Acknowledge your failure, acknowledge the humiliation you suffered, and accept that all the embarrassment and ugliness you experienced were your own doing.
Just to get one answer.
Why didn't you kill yourself back then?
However, when he saw Lu Ya, who seemed to be more familiar with Shion, the love and admiration in her eyes were so intense and unwavering, as if they could be drawn into silk threads, that the Prince's heart couldn't help but flutter.
She didn't know what kind of emotion it was.
Having a girl who is so infatuated with someone she hates around has greatly alleviated many of the tormenting emotions that were troubling her.
But that is not a source of relief or solace for those who share the same plight.
Instead, she felt more anxious, more uneasy, and even began to doubt herself.
Although she couldn't understand it, it ultimately forced her to give up some of her dignity and pride.
"Aren't you afraid that one day I'll come back and fight you again?"
The Azure Cloud Sect emphasizes decisiveness and ruthlessness, eliminating all threats and ensuring complete eradication—a fact almost universally known in the Old World.
If you are targeted by the Azure Cloud Sect, you will be completely eradicated.
The Prince held her breath, unsure whether she was filled with anticipation or fear, awaiting his response.
That time was so long that the Prince thought he was going to suffocate.
"Desolation is not as good as leaves."
However, Shion's opening words stunned her.
What's the meaning?
Shion said calmly, "Those who have fallen to me are never considered my opponents. I will give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see me."
The Prince gripped the Void Mirror tightly, his smile growing increasingly sinister and crazed, "Ha! You mean Lu Ya is more dangerous than me, that you see her as an opponent and are doing everything in your power to eliminate her? Or do you also believe that those Old World were more dangerous than me?!"
How should I know?
The Prince's surging emotions were interrupted once again.
She took a deep breath. "To you, everyone's food is the same, right?"
"Not really."
After saying this, Shion slowly said, "Fellow Daoist is slightly stronger than young friend. I must go all out against you to show respect; but I must naturally show mercy to young friend."
I'd rather you show me some respect.
"A young friend deserves my respect."
"Am I really that insignificant compared to Lu Ya?"
"It's just about strength."
For a fleeting moment, the Prince wanted to unleash the power of the Void Mirror, but she restrained herself. "Just wait, one day I will make you kneel before me and take back those words!"
Shion walked slowly from a distance, her hands behind her back, each step traversing several worlds as she approached Chongxu: "The grudge of the annulment, the resentment of defeat—if you harbor hatred, you are welcome to seek revenge."
"No need. I, Yitaen, never look back."
The Prince's voice was just as it had been the first time they met.
Her unyielding pride and strong sense of self-respect are almost palpable in her voice and demeanor.
"A loss is a loss. Even if you tricked me into marriage, it's no big deal. I, Yitaen, don't care. I only wanted to use you back then, but I made a mistake and lost to you. I'm not worth being so petty. But since you look down on me, I'll show you that I'll win sooner or later!"
She poured out her heart in one breath, almost revealing her true feelings.
Suddenly, the magical girl walking in the void stopped.
Prince Ben was about to say something more when he suddenly sensed some strange fluctuations.
Her gaze immediately pierced through the Void Mirror and fell upon Shion.
Other things may be unable to track or see Shion, but the Void Mirror is different. This Extreme Dao Emperor Weapon can see the location of every Mirror Space.
Because she had condensed almost all the technology of her Land of Mirrors into this one thing.
Then I realized that Shion was indeed acting a little strange.
The body that had just been able to awe the world suddenly seemed somewhat insignificant.
They even became weak.
Most importantly, even she could sense the magic emanating from the other party.
"Wait, you didn't use the Full Bloom method from my Land of Mirrors?"
Once the Shion Full Bloom, it should be airtight, which is why it is so powerful and will not be harmed by being in Full Bloom.
Something inside her suddenly jolted; it was something she had never considered before.
Immediately afterwards, Shion suddenly began to cough rapidly.
The voice grew weaker and weaker, filled with pain.
Mouthfuls of blood gushed out, staining a large part of the world red!
The Prince paused for a moment, then took a deep breath for a long time.
She quietly said, "What are you up to now? You don't think you'll be fooled again, do you?"
It's alright.
Shion responded calmly, wiping the blood from her mouth, "It's just a side effect of the Full Bloom. The power of the Full Bloom is truly domineering; it's actually starting to backfire on me. The Heavenly Demon is constantly absorbing and stealing my life and power."
"You are Shion," she murmured repeatedly, "You are Shion, how could you possibly have a problem over something so trivial!"
The purple-clad magical girl nodded. "Of course, I won't be defeated so easily. As the current Great Emperor, even if my days are numbered, I will still suppress all ages! Come, Prince Itaen."
Even if you're going to die, I won't help you. Don't call me—
"Of course I won't trouble you."
Shion stood with her hands behind her back. "Since you want to defeat me, this is your best chance. Now that my power is waning and my life is hanging by a thread, this may be your only chance to defeat me. I'm giving you this opportunity, which can be considered a settlement of our grudges."
The Prince hadn't really believed that this thing would actually affect Shion.
After all, she was too powerful, so powerful that even Full Bloom seemed unable to shake her in the slightest.
Until the Prince felt that the other person's magic was indeed leaking out continuously.
Just Full Bloom the magical girl from before----
This strongest Full Bloom girl of our time, at the peak of her powers, is steadily losing her strength.
A realization she had never had before gradually emerged in her mind.
She might really die.
"Idiot----"
The Prince, his voice trembling with a mixture of bravado and fear, rebuked, "I am the Mirror King! What do you take me for? A despicable person who would take advantage of someone in distress like this!"
She tried to raise her voice, making it louder and more angry.
"I'm just objectively giving you a chance----"
He gave a somewhat uncertain reply, which was followed by even stronger opposition.
"Don't underestimate me! I am Prince Itaen of the Land of Mirrors! I need no charity or pity from you. One day, I will surpass you, defeat you, and make you my defeated foe, repaying you for all the humiliation and insults you have suffered!"
Even as he said this, the Prince couldn't help but stand up.
I'm no longer worried about her.
It wasn't out of fear of her death.
Absolutely not.
But what if she just died like that?
Wouldn't it make me seem pathetic and incompetent for losing to her so easily before?
This is a matter of face for the entire Land of Mirrors!
So it's not some laughable worry, nor is it a shameless concern after losing face—it's simply for oneself, for the pride of the Land of Mirrors.
"You are not allowed to die until I have taken my revenge."
"You just said you don't hold grudges—"
"Shut up! This is now, it's different from before. Of course I care. Being rejected by you in front of so many people, being defeated by you, becoming the king of a fallen kingdom in front of everyone, losing all my dignity and pride—how could I not care!"
I can't say any more, I shouldn't say any more. The more I say, the more mistakes I'll make, and the more embarrassing I'll appear.
Be calm, be proud enough, have backbone, dignity, and an unwavering competitive spirit!
But some words, uncontrollable and escaping his control, welled up from his throat. "So, no matter how severe or terrifying the backlash from Full Bloom is, I don't care, you can't die, you can't die from this nonsense, otherwise, I'll become a complete joke—"
"Don't worry, I won't die."
As Shion gradually disappeared into the distance, heading towards Chongxu, he said, "In the name of the Azure Cloud Sect Master, I promise you, Prince Itaen, I will not dishonor your reputation, and I will not die until you defeat me."
The Prince fell silent.
"I'll be waiting for you at Chongxu, looking forward to your challenge."
Taking a deep breath, the Prince clutched his chest.
That was an even stronger obsession than when he persisted in restoring his country and proving himself in the dead silence of the interlayer.
We can't lose to Lu Ya.
Become stronger, reclaim your dignity with your own hands, and make Shion and Jiang Si face yourself!
"System, please investigate how long someone can live after Full Bloom the Ancient Method."
Beihai, a suburban mountain area.
Bingtang stood beside the sect leader, who stood proudly atop the mountain. It seemed that something else had happened after the battle above had ended.
However, as the deputy sect leader and the eldest elder, Bingtang didn't say much. She simply held up an umbrella for the sect leader and waited quietly for instructions.
"Desolation is not as good as leaves."
The sect leader's sudden statement snapped Bingtang out of her reverie, and she immediately retorted, "In terms of both character design and battle record, Huang is superior."
After a moment of silence, Dragon Lord Shion changed the subject, "Now that I Full Bloom and my days are numbered, the future of Azure Cloud will depend on your efforts. We must not let the sect stray from the right path."
--
The words of entrusting the child to someone instantly darkened the atmosphere.
Even the Bingtang seemed to reveal a bitter and sorrowful look in its eyes, "Sect Leader—"
"Say no more, my mind is made up."
But then Bingtang Tang asked softly, "Is it Perfect World? Did the Heavenly Emperor Huang die in battle?"
Dragon Lord Shion paused for a moment, then shook her head.
Bingtang thought sadly for a moment, " Wang Meng of the Holy Church died in battle?"
The sect leader shook his head again.
After considering several possible scenarios of ancestors dying suddenly and then being resurrected, Chen Nan from the Tomb of Gods was resurrected? That's the beginning, equivalent to time travel, so it shouldn't count; Luo Feng, the ancestor of Devouring Stars, died completely in his human body and was resurrected in the body of a strange beast, so that doesn't fit either; Klein, the Lord of Mysteries—that's also incorrect.
After much deliberation, Bingtang finally found a more fitting answer, " The Daolord Darknorth of the Desolate Era, failed to achieve Dao integration?"
Finally, Dragon Lord Shion's expression softened, and she slowly nodded.
Bingtang smiled slightly, "Please rest assured, Sect Master, Bingtang will make thorough preparations for the banquet after the failure to achieve Dao Integration."
Shion nodded in satisfaction.
Then, while descending the mountain, he suddenly said something else.
"Remember, barrenness is not as good as leaf."
The barrenness is not as good as the leaves.
The only line that stands out is, "Those who fall to my hand are never considered my opponents. I give you time to catch up, until you can no longer see me." This line is comparable to Ye's, adding a touch of suspense to the battle between Huang and Ye.
But ultimately, desolation is not as good as foliage.
However, she said this simply because she felt the situation was very appropriate.
He didn't think much about the difference between Fellow Daoist Lu Ya and Young Friend Prince.
Thinking about it carefully now, the gap between the two is indeed quite large.
However, Fellow Daoist Lu Ya ultimately relied on some of the technology from the Land of Mirrors, so it's not accurate to say that she completely surpassed the Prince.
As she pondered, Shion fell into deep thought.
This combat strength is hard to rank.
--
Among the opponents he has encountered, Fellow Daoist Lu Ya can undoubtedly be ranked T0, but whether the Prince is T0.5 or T1 is debatable.
The ranking of combat strength cannot be taken lightly. We need to go back and discuss it carefully with Bai Mei and the others to give an absolutely official and accurate answer.
In terms of the size of the crater alone, Lu Ya, who has already reached the level of a Cosmic Immortal, undoubtedly crushes all her previous enemies.
While pondering, Shion took a deep breath and looked down again.
Many eyes were on him.
Full Bloom like Great Emperor.
When Great Emperor attains enlightenment, it's like a server-wide announcement; he will inevitably face a great calamity and besiege from numerous quasi-emperors to forcibly ascend to the throne.
Without an invincible heart, what are the survivalist and dark styles? They are nothing but roadside paths in the face of the one and only, supreme and domineering Emperor's Path!
The process of Full Bloom is like the Daolord of the Fourth Step merging with the Dao.
Once a Dao Lord who has entered the Life and Death Realm experiences the withering of their eternal flower, their life begins its countdown.
In reality, all of them failed to Full Bloom. However, unlike the Daolord of Life and Death Ji Ning's side, who went mad and started killing indiscriminately once he failed to merge with the Dao and his days were numbered, the magical girls seem to have a higher level of moral character.
Time was of the essence; all I could think about was saving as many lives as possible.
After parting ways with the Prince, she walked all the way back to Chongxu.
She didn't hide the fact that her aura was getting weaker and weaker. When she stepped into the Chongxu, she found that this place was different from before.
From the first level to the second, all the people of Chongxu rose up in resistance.
The Holy Church was even forced to shrink in size, and the second floor was completely smashed.
The entire Chongxu was in complete chaos.
I was slightly surprised.
The tallest Chongxu Tower had been blown to pieces by the Chongxu people themselves, and all the Chongxu people stood on the ruins.
They shouted for freedom and wanted to build their own castle.
She watched quietly. This group of people Chongxu weren't particularly strong; they couldn't sense her Full Bloom, nor did they know what it meant.
However, when these individuals' Personal Reality come together, they have an extraordinary influence.
"How about a free Chongxu?"
Looking down from mid-air, Shion saw that Su La, who should have disappeared, was actually sitting happily on a rock below.
"It's more spectacular and beautiful than ever before, isn't it? You can understand, right?"
His tone was one of unrestrained revelry and excitement.
Su's rebirth as Shion wasn't particularly surprising.
The magical girl's Personal Reality is incredibly important.
And this magical girl was born in Chongxu.
It can be said to be the embodiment of Personal Reality.
As long as her Personal Reality doesn't disappear, it means that she can start over Infinity in Chongxu.
No matter how many times, she always manages to reappear until her wish is fulfilled.
Or rather, Chongxu's wish has been fulfilled.
Are you still you now?
So Shion asked this question.
A magical girl born with the freedom of the Chongxu people as her core.
Having died countless times and been reborn repeatedly, how can she be sure that she is still the same person she always was?
But then Su La smiled brightly, "It's precisely because I am still me that I'm here. As long as there's one person in the Chongxu who yearns for freedom, Su La will surely answer them. Returning from hell, that's what a magical girl is all about, Gante----"
Ugh, damn it, don't look at me like that. I can't even swear anymore. Sigh, I'm not free either.
Shion nodded slightly.
The answer was unwavering; those eyes spoke volumes.
The strongest of the Chongxu, whom she had once buried with her own hands, was no longer a ghost, but a living person who truly existed before her eyes.
A magical girl so pure that she cannot be tainted by any falsehood, directly addressing the core needs of all the people of Chongxu.
Returning once again, I admire the freedom of Chongxu at this moment.
The previous frenzy, anxiety, and confusion had all vanished from her.
The deepest desires of the Chongxu people are completely opposite to what they express, and to the entire Chongxu as a whole.
Amidst this powerful sense of tearing apart, she becomes a magical girl who receives the wishes of many.
It's not surprising that a feeling of being torn apart can lead to mental instability.
"It's so beautiful. I really want them to see it too----"
Hearing Su La's murmur, Shion merely glanced at the people Chongxu around her.
It was clear that all the people in the Chongxu had countless super loans in their accounts.
Their magic power has even been reduced to a negative number, which means that from now on, whether in the Holy Church or the Chongxu on the second level, as long as they are in this place, they will never be able to earn money, and all their work and efforts will only be for paying off their debts.
Of course, this wasn't a big problem for Chongxu, as Chongxu people were born and accustomed to oppression.
The real problem is that, within the larger system of Chongxu, continuous debt can lead to brain death.
Because a failed credit history can lead to the Chongxu deeming you unable to repay your debts, marking you as a "waste product," and then pushing your productivity to the limit, causing your brain to generate a frenzy of negative emotions to fill the debt, resulting in rapid brain damage.
This means that all the people of Chongxu have been driven to a dead end.
Such riots are not surprising.
Since the outcome is the same anyway, why not go all out?
"If I remember correctly," Shion thought for a moment before saying, "AI uses taxes deducted from the past and future to leverage debt, so why does it end up making those who pay taxes more in debt? And by a million times at that."
"Oh, why do you think I'd give my body to AI? It's not just for fighting you," Su La boasted smugly. "It's so I can manipulate things when she's taxing us, leading our Chongxu to its own destruction!"
"You're really crazy."
"Same to you."
Ultimately, whether it's the second level of the Chongxu or the first level of the Holy Church, both require the cooperation of those who Chongxu to obtain magical resources.
Even if the Holy Church could suppress and slaughter all the rebels, it would be meaningless if all the people of Chongxu rebelled together.
Because an empty Chongxu is worthless.
Amidst this frenzied upheaval, some of the less resolute among the Chongxu people were eventually persuaded by the Holy Church to stay.
These honest and Chongxu, under the promise of the Holy Church, were willing to believe that the Holy Church could relieve their debts and continue to work like slaves.
Even when called weak scabs, they were unwilling to resist.
After all, if others have demonstrated their value in uniting the people, then there will always be someone who wants to exploit that value for personal gain.
It's safer and more profitable than fighting and killing.
Shion wasn't in a hurry to leave either, but stayed with Su La and watched Su La changes. They were outside Chongxu at the moment, and the flow of time was different on both sides. They had only been standing outside for a short while, but several days had passed inside Chongxu.
Many Chongxu people escaped from the cabin, but many others remained in Chongxu. Chongxu dazzling development completely transformed Chongxu.
After a while, once the situation had stabilized, Su La stood up and patted her knees. "Alright, alright, it's time to take everyone out for some adventure. The world of freedom awaits us. How about we go check out your New World first—"
"Casual."
After observing for a while, Shion pointed to the Chongxu people who were unwilling to leave.
"Are we just going to ignore these people?"
Su La chuckled and said, "Willing to stay and be a dog is also a kind of freedom. What kind of freedom is forced? Let them choose for themselves; the sky won't fall."
"Aren't you coming back?"
Oh dear, are you reluctant to part with me?
"I just think you're a good fit for Azure Cloud."
"You know, my dear, the Azure Cloud Sect has too many rules. How could it possibly suit me?"
"I can make an exception for you."
"I'm truly flattered~" Su La stretched. "But if I agree, I'll be worthless to you, my darling, because then I won't be the Goddess of Freedom Su La anymore. What abilities could Su La from the Azure Cloud Sect possibly have? Perhaps she can't even compare to an ordinary magical girl. However—"
As she was talking, Su La suddenly appeared below Shion.
Because Shion was floating in the air, once Su La arrived below, she could see under Shion's skirt as soon as she looked up.
Then a look of disappointment appeared on her face. "What? It's just safety shorts? You've disappointed me so much, Shion!"
Shion felt that she was indeed not suitable for the Azure Cloud Sect.
Then, Su La suddenly opened her mouth, and a drop of water formed from condensed magic fell from the tip of Shion's finger.
Su La caught it, smacked her lips, and savored it with an expression of delight.
"Tsk tsk, fragrant and sweet, with a lingering sweetness, rich and mellow, refreshing and thirst-quenching, top-notch, truly flavorful!"
Even drinking water meant for washing hands can cause this kind of illness.
Shion had no intention of wasting any more time with her. Since the other party was planning to leave, there was no point in continuing to recruit her.
It's a pity, she was clearly a promising Seedling who could have replaced Tiana.
Be careful.
Su La behind her waved with a smile, "With this much air leak, I guess some people are going to get restless."
He didn't notice Su La leaving.
After all, someone like that will come back on their own sooner or later.
Shion strode into Chongxu.
In fact, it was pretty much as she said. Ever since she started to openly display her Full Bloom power, she has attracted a lot of attention along the way.
There was some worry, some greed, and some dangerous hostility.
However, so far, no one has dared to confront her directly.
That group of people were just observing, especially those from Chongxu, most of whom had witnessed her strength.
Naturally, they dared not act rashly.
Although many of the people from Chongxu fled, the Holy Church still retained a considerable number of people, and the Holy Church Member itself had many members from the Old World.
To be honest, the fact that these people Chongxu ran away actually benefited a group of people in the Old World.
The people of the Old World didn't care about living in a dream or being unfree. After all, Chongxu was a world far from death, a place with Infinity possibilities and a future, just like the New World. It wasn't like their dead, collapsed, tiny place devoid of resources—the " Remnants."
Their dream is simply to have a place to live a peaceful life.
However, these people can only extract Remnants magic power, so its actual value is very low.
Watching the departing Freedom Chongxu people and the Old World gain a place to live, one can't help but sigh.
Everyone has a bright future ahead of them.
The second floor of the rebuilt Chongxu is particularly noteworthy.
Because almost no one who Chongxu was willing to stay on the second floor.
No matter how much of a labor scab they are, they'll still end up working for the Holy Church below, because the Holy Church will eventually have a way out.
As for the second level, now that the authority of the bottom level of Chongxu has been destroyed, a group of commanders without any real power still want to have the privilege to control the people of Chongxu, which would be a joke.
Many of those previously disorganized high-ranking officials have fled with the ordinary people who Chongxu.
Those who remain will have to work to survive on the second level of Chongxu.
As soon as Shion stepped into the second floor, countless eyes immediately converged on her.
She glanced at it.
Many new Incubators are heading into the Chongxu, but of course, the most important is the Witch Association.
Instead of engaging in widespread slaughter, Shion intended to preserve the original appearance of the second level of the Chongxu.
This way, everyone will remember why they chose to cultivate immortality through organized crime instead of capital-based methods.
No one dared to come over and greet Shion; everyone kept their distance, afraid of bumping into Shion.
There was only one exception.
The president of the Witch Association, dressed in a black robe that concealed her entire body and whose presence was barely perceptible, casually approached Shion's side.
"If I'm going to die, should I try to charge at the tree like the other magical girls?"
Shion turned her head to look at the president of the Witch Association.
It was almost exactly the same as in that Freeze river of time, in the [ False History ], without any difference.
"Uh, or do you prefer me lying on the ground to talk to you?"
The president of the Witch Association immediately prostrated herself on the ground, completely disregarding any sense of dignity. "To be honest, I've seen quite a few magical girls in Full Bloom, but this is the first time I've seen one like you, who was initially confident but suddenly started to lose it—it seems you can live for a long time, so you don't really need to fight like the other magical girls."
Do you remember the meeting in [ the False History ]?
"Oh, you mean this? Of course!"
The president of the Witch Association laughed nonchalantly, "Regardless, I was the one who helped Lu Ya complete the witch experiment and even helped her use the Time Dao Fruit, so I was actually able to observe what happened over there. Are you shocked?"
Shion simply walked slowly toward her.
Although she had already entered the countdown to the end of her lifespan Emperor Realm, with each step she took, a terrifying aura still pressed down on the president of the Witch Association.
You'd better tell me everything you know.
"A stressful zone?"
The president of the Witch Association said self-deprecatingly, "You're putting so much pressure on me, to be honest, it's really hard for me to talk."
Shion stopped in her tracks.
The new Incubators have brought new fighting power, and they all seem quite strong, but so far they haven't noticed this side of the conflict.
Instead, they clashed with members of the Witch Association.
The Incubators ' expressions showed a great deal of impatience and anxiety.
That's really rare.
The usually rational and calm Incubators showed this expression.
The president of the Witch Association sat up before continuing, "After all, it's been a really long time since any powerful magical girls Full Bloom. If they don't replenish the World Tree's fertilizer soon, problems might arise, and naturally, they won't be able to hide it anymore."
Is the World Tree about to wither?
"It can't really be called withering."
The president of the Witch Association pondered for a moment, seemingly choosing her words carefully, "But in short, more magical girls are indeed needed to fill the vacancies, and for them, there is something even more important: a very important branch of the World Tree has been lost, and they are searching everywhere for that branch."
Shion fell silent.
The Dao Fruit that can manipulate time is currently inside her chest cavity.
"That's right, it's the tree branch you got from Lu Ya."
The president of the Witch Association stood up and extended her hand to Jiang Si. "Since you've already been to the time Lu Ya sealed away, you should know that Lu Ya and I are comrades, we're comrades who have fought side by side through life and death. So, as someone who has inherited Lu Ya's will, you should cooperate with me, right? Let's complete the final experiment and expel the Incubators first—"
"Did you betray Lu Ya's comrades?" Shion glanced at her. "You were the one who discovered Lu Ya was conducting experiments with the magical girls, weren't you?"
"After all, she was getting increasingly crazy, and I didn't want the whole experiment to fail in the end—"
"Traitors are not worthy of trust."
Shion simply reached out and grabbed the president of the Witch Association.
The other party didn't even try to avoid it.
What made it even more unbelievable to Shion from the very beginning was that the other party actually came to see her in his real form.
It's not a projection, nor is it an illusion; it's a real person, someone you'll catch yourself.
They can be crushed at any time.
"So confident you won't kill me?"
"Actually, I don't have much confidence either."
The Witch Association sighed, "But there's no other way."
The black robe, which concealed his figure and was so transparent that even Shion could not see through it, gradually dissipated.
Her face was now fully visible.
Shion tilted her head slightly, not expecting this.
The "pressure zone" that the chairman just mentioned was not a metaphor.
It is a simple, descriptive style.
"All I can say is, since I want to cooperate with you, this is the only way. Although I wanted to save this for last, if I don't say it now, I might not have another chance."
"Uh, what's with that expression?"
The president of the Witch Association tilted her head, revealing a bright smile, tinged with a hint of smugness. "You should recognize me, right? It's me, Jiang Keke, Teacher Shion. Didn't expect that, did you?"
Suddenly, Shion's expression changed.
He instinctively slapped her across the face.
He said coldly, as if by conditioned reflex, "Call me father."
