The Lovers' Authority

Beside a quiet, secluded path, slightly worn-out seats with large areas of yellow paint peeling off are scattered about.

Shen Hui and Qingxue sat close together on one of the seats.

The trees overhead provided shade, while dappled sunlight filtered through the gaps in the trees.

This is the green running track near Shen Hui's former residential area, but most of the young people have moved away, and the track has naturally fallen into disuse.

Even Shen Hui rarely comes here; when he's alone, he prefers to stay home.

But now, Shen Hui had a different feeling. It was so quiet here that it seemed even time itself had slowed down.

Qingxue looked at Shen Hui and laughed, "That the High Priestess was called Feng Mi. I went with her to see the Fool, and also saw some other members of the Tarot Club."

"They told me about the doctrines of the Tarot Club, which... you should know about, right?"

Shen Hui nodded. He had initially scoffed at the doctrine, but now he felt it made more and more sense.

Qingxue's eyes darted around, and after thinking for a moment, she asked, "Then do you believe that our world might also be fake, that everything was created?"

Without hesitation, Shen Hui replied directly, "I definitely wouldn't have believed it before, but now... after experiencing some things, I feel like it might be true."

After hearing Shen Hui's answer, Qingxue's eyes became unfocused again, and there was even a hint of sadness in them.

"I don't believe it. Even though this world is so unreasonable, don't I still have you? Don't I still have my parents who love me? Don't I still have my good friends?"

"How could this be a created world? We are who we are, not playthings to be controlled."

As Qingxue spoke, her voice became hoarse, and her emotions gradually became unstable.

Shen Hui sighed slightly. This doctrine was a complete reversal of the worldview and values of people living in this world, especially for the Creator.

It's likely that it took Qingxue quite a while to recover after hearing the news.

Now that he has received confirmation from himself, his emotions have begun to break down again.

Shen Hui comforted him, "No matter what kind of world we live in, you and I, everyone else, are real, and our feelings will always be real."

"If our world was also created, then we should become Transcendent within it, seeing the truth of the world and escaping our controlled fate."

His tone gradually became more assertive, and Shen Hui seemed to be full of confidence.

This natural feeling touched Qingxue, and the sadness on her face disappeared, turning into joy.

"I hope so, but I really like one of their quotes, do you know what it is?"

Qingxue asked Shen Hui again, and Shen Hui smiled knowingly at the question.

Their eyes met, and they said in unison, "Live in the moment!"

"Haha, that's right, that's also my favorite quote: no matter how things change, we always live in the present."

Shen Hui squeezed Qingxue's hand and said with a smile.

Qingxue continued, "As for my powers, they are related to you."

"What does this have to do with me?" Shen Hui pointed to himself, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Isn't this your right?"

Qingxue nodded. "Yes, although it's my power, it's related to you. My power is that I can lend you the power of my Creation World, and also..."

As she continued, Qingxue immediately covered her mouth, stopping halfway through her sentence.

"Huh? What else can I do?" Shen Hui was a little confused.

Qingxue chuckled, "It's nothing. Anyway, I can lend you the power of my Creation World. To make a comparison, my Creation World is your Creation World."

"And it's the kind that overlaps, since my Creation World also contains the power of your Creation World system."

Shen Hui raised an eyebrow, seemingly understanding but not quite. "This can be called power? It doesn't seem very strong."

"And as you said, your Creation World already has my Creation World power system in it, so it doesn't feel as strong, okay?"

Qingxue put her finger to her lips and thought for a moment, "Hmm... how should I put it, maybe it's related to this reason."

"Otherwise, how could I become the Lovers, right? The Lovers, not one of the other tarot cards."

Shen Hui was momentarily speechless.

At this moment, Qingxue asked curiously, "Then why haven't you become a member of the Tarot Club yet? Or what is your ritual?"

"I asked other people, but none of them told me."

Shen Hui had no intention of telling her about his advancement ceremony, and casually laughed it off, "According to you, my ceremony is to become the Death God."

Qingxue immediately became unhappy. "You didn't tell me."

If you don't want to answer a question, the best way to deal with it if someone keeps pressing you is to change the subject.

So Shen Hui immediately laughed and changed his question to something else, which was quite important.

"Now that you've joined the Tarot Club, have they told you about their plans? For example... anything related to the Chaos Forbidden Domain?"

Hearing Shen Hui's question, Qingxue nodded. "I said, led by the Fool, all members of the Tarot Club must go to the Chaos Forbidden Domain."

"Besides, aren't you going too? You already have a spot."

Hearing Qingxue's answer, it was exactly as Shen Hui had expected.

"There might be opportunities inside, so of course I'll go. But your strength... and you're not coming with me, I'm a little worried."

Qingxue didn't seem too worried. "What's there to be afraid of? There are other members of the Tarot Club with us. Do you think we'll be weak with them around?"

"That's true... So, do you know how you'll get there?"

"I've learned from Chi Yan Leader Chiyan that Guild Leader Fan Hao has returned from the Chaos Forbidden Domain Chaos Forbidden Domain, and the competition for spots to go there should begin in the next few days."

"But one thing is certain: there won't be many spots available. It's impossible for members of the Tarot Club to go through the quota allocated by the World Association."

Shen Hui was a little curious about this.

Qingxue shook her head. "I don't know either, but it definitely has nothing to do with the World Association."

"As you know, the members of the Tarot Club are all incredibly mysterious. You're the only one I know, and you're even a prospective member."

Shen Hui sighed helplessly, "Alright, but I do know a few members of the Tarot Club, and some of them you probably already know."

"For example, the man and woman who caused me trouble after I left school were members of the Tarot Club."

"Them?" Hearing Shen Hui's words, Qingxue's face showed a hint of unhappiness.

After all, that happened back then, and it caused her to be unconscious for so long.

"Anyway, let me introduce you. They're also members of the Night Organization. Aren't you a member of the Nightfall Starry Night Adventure Group?"
