Qingque of the Divination Commission

After thoroughly clearing the Borisin camp, Lin Yuan and the others did not linger in the Star Dou Great Forest. Ural's chains were reinforced, and after Yue Guan and Gui Mei personally checked his condition and confirmed that he could not break free in a short time, the group prepared to return to Spirit City.

Before leaving, Lin Yuan did not leave immediately, but turned to look at Di Tian standing not far away. Scarlet King and Bi Ji were nearby, while Xiong Jun leaned against an ancient tree with his arms crossed, clearly not very interested in where the humans were going next.

"Di Tian, there's something I want to tell you beforehand." Lin Yuan stopped, his expression becoming more serious. "Now that spatial rifts have appeared, the Borisin are just the first Star Sea race we've discovered so far. No one knows what else will come through these rifts to the Douluo Continent. If one day an event occurs that could affect the entire continent, I hope the Soul Beast Clan can also participate."

Di Tian frowned. "You want Soul Beast to help humans?"

"It's not about helping humanity, it's about helping yourselves." Lin Yuan shook his head. "Douluo Continent isn't just a continent for humans, and the Star Dou Great Forest can't remain completely isolated from the outside world forever. If something happens that could sweep across the entire planet, neither humans nor Soul Beast can escape it. In that case, Soul Beast should find their own way for their future, instead of waiting for others to decide where they will end up."

Di Tian's golden eyes flickered slightly.

He could certainly understand the meaning behind Lin Yuan's words.

The Soul Beast Clan has been trapped in its current situation for far too long. Unable to truly forge its own path, it can only place its hopes on a very small number of beings. But now, with the appearance of spatial rifts, the Douluo Continent is beginning to connect with a wider starry sea. What once seemed unchangeable may no longer be absolute.

"Kid, you..."

Before Di Tian could speak, Lin Yuan had already turned around, waving his hand behind his back. "Alright, I was just giving you a casual reminder. When that day comes, you can decide for yourself. We still need to rush back to Spirit City to report. See you later, bye!"

After saying that, he caught up with Qian Renxue and the others, and soon disappeared into the forest.

Di Tian stood there watching his retreating figure, momentarily at a loss for words. Bi Ji chuckled softly, and the three heads of the Scarlet King turned to the side at the same time. Even Xiong Jun, who always hated humans, couldn't help but grin.

"That brat, he ran off halfway through his sentence, he certainly knows how to cause trouble for others."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian shook his head and chuckled, but did not refute it.

The group traveled day and night back to Spirit City.

The matter of Borisin was far from over. The tools, records, and Ural himself obtained from the camp all had to be handed over to the Spirit Hall as soon as possible. Therefore, apart from necessary rest stops, there was almost no delay along the way.

Several days later, the group finally arrived at Spirit City under the cover of night.

The city gate guards had clearly received the news beforehand, and immediately let Lin Yuan and the others pass upon their return. Ural, on the other hand, was directly escorted to the underground prison by several Soul Saint. The chains on his body were not removed, and Gui Mei even left another layer of Soul Power sealing within his body to prevent this guy from causing any trouble while recovering from his injuries.

Upon arriving Worship Hall, Lin Yuan stopped and said to Yue Guan and Gui Mei, "Elders, please go to the Pope Hall first. Also, entrust the items brought back from Borisin's camp to a designated person for safekeeping. Xue'er and I will go in and inform the Great Enshrined about the situation in the Star Dou Great Forest. We'll interrogate Ural after we've discussed the matter further."

Yue Guan nodded. "That guy can't escape now. You two should hurry inside; the Great Enshrined has been waiting for your news these past few days."

The two then parted ways.

Lin Yuan and Qian Renxue walked deeper into the Worship Hall.

But just as the two crossed the front hall, a strong, resonant voice suddenly came from inside.

"Bang!"

Lin Yuan stopped abruptly.

Qian Renxue was also taken aback.

The two exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

This is the Worship Hall.

Normally, even when the elders gather together, they only discuss matters of the Spirit Hall, the power of Soul Master, or cultivation. But just now, they not only didn't understand what that word meant, but they didn't even know why it appeared here.

Before the two could move forward, another series of crisp sounds of blocks colliding came from inside.

Immediately afterwards, a young woman's excited voice rang out.

"I won! Hahaha, I knew this hand would work! Great Enshrined, you can't renege on your bet this time. And you, Senior Guang Ling, you said you'd give me that bag of Gold Soul Coin if you lost!"

Lin Yuan's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

Qian Renxue simply reached out and pushed open the palace door.

The next moment, the entire interior of the Worship Hall appeared before the two of them.

The central council table, which usually stood there, had been moved aside and replaced with a small square table. Qian Daoliu sat at the front, Golden Crocodile Douluo sat to one side, and Light Feather Douluo sat on the other side. In the remaining seat sat a young girl in blue robes whom they had never seen before in Spirit City.

A large number of small, rectangular jade plaques were displayed on the table.

The jade tablets were engraved with various patterns that Lin Yuan was familiar with but Qian Renxue couldn't understand at all. Each of the four people had a row of them in front of them, and there was a pile of tablets that hadn't been taken yet in the center of the table.

At this moment, the girl in green stood by the table with a smug look on her face, pushing away all the Celestial Jade in front of her.

"See that? That's what you call skill. You guys were saying my trick wouldn't work, but now you know how powerful it is, right?"

Guang Ling stared at the cards in front of her for a long time, clearly unconvinced. "No, if I hadn't played that card just now, you wouldn't have been able to win. Let's play another round, this time I'm sure I can win back."

"That's what the losers all say." The girl in green smiled and swiped a few Gold Soul Coin on the table toward herself. "Besides, I taught you the rules. How long have you three been learning them and you think you can beat me? Then all the time I've spent at the Divination Commission... cough, researching the Celestial Jade, hasn't it all been for nothing?"

Qian Daoliu was about to rearrange the cards in front of him when he suddenly noticed two more presences at the door.

He turned his head and saw Lin Yuan and Qian Renxue standing there.

The entire hall immediately quieted down.

Qian Renxue's gaze first fell on her grandfather, then on the completely unfamiliar jade tablets on the table, and finally on the girl in green whom she had never seen before. Before she went out, the Worship Hall obviously did not have such a thing, but when she returned, her grandfather and several other offerings were already playing with a strange girl quite well.

Lin Yuan's expression became even more interesting.

Of course he knew what those were.

Celestial Jade.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Qingque was not only not imprisoned after arriving in Spirit City, but has even successfully brought Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and Guang Ling to the table.

Lin Yuan couldn't help but look at Guang Ling: "Teacher, we're only going out for a few days, what are you all doing?"

"Celestial Jade," Guang Ling answered confidently, even picking one up to show him. "The rules of the items this girl brought are quite interesting. At first, I didn't think much of them, but after playing a few rounds, they became rather interesting."

Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu speechlessly. "Grandpa, are you joining in too?"

Qian Daoliu lightly, his expression remaining calm. "Just learning about entertainment from the Star Sea."

The girl in green immediately contradicted him. "Great Enshrined, you were the one who said you wanted to play another round."

Qian Daoliu silent.

Golden Crocodile Douluo turned his head, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

Lin Yuan almost burst out laughing.

Guang Ling was too lazy to explain further and simply stood up, saying, "Alright, brat, you're back just in time. Let me introduce you first. This girl isn't from the Douluo Continent. A few days ago, when the patrolling Soul Master found her in the city, she couldn't even produce any identification and was chased for several streets, eventually ending up at the Worship Hall."

At this point, Guang Ling gestured with his chin toward the girl in blue. "She said she came from a place called Xianzhou, and apparently she's some kind of diviner..."

"I know."

Lin Yuan suddenly spoke.

Guang Ling's words came to an abrupt halt.

Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and Qian Renxue all looked at Lin Yuan at the same time.

The girl in blue was also taken aback.

Lin Yuan was now completely certain of the person in front of him.

He looked at the familiar blue dress, then glanced at the Celestial Jade on the table, and then called out her name directly.

"The Divination Commission, Qingque."

Qingque's smile froze instantly.

She had never seen this young man before since arriving in this place. Even when she introduced herself to Qian Daoliu and the others, she hadn't explained everything in such detail, yet he not only knew Divination Commission but also called her by name immediately.

Qingque sized Lin Yuan up and down, her previously relaxed expression immediately turning wary. "Wait, you know me? But I'm sure I've never seen you before. Who are you, and how do you know I'm from the Divination Commission?"

Lin Yuan did not answer.

He had no time to dwell on why Qingque had already taught several of the worshippers the Celestial Jade.

What really matters is why she's here.

The Borisin actively traversed the spatial rift in search of Abundance creations; at least they had a clear purpose in coming to the Douluo Continent.

But the Qingque is different.

There was absolutely no reason for a Luofu Divination Commission a person from Luo Fu Tai Bu Si) to suddenly appear in Spirit City.

Lin Yuan strode to the table, stared at Qingque, and asked, "Tell me something first."

Qingque instinctively leaned back a little. "What?"

How did you come to the Douluo Continent?
