"Rhode, did you see the Pixie Kingdom?" someone asked.
"Me? I didn't "Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Ahahaha, Rhode is a swindler, he's joking with us again" Shroud laughed out loud.
Everyone laughed, even the Elder jokingly scolded: "Rhode, hand over the Pixie Kingdom"
This time, Gu Qing Shan wasn't so sure.
I only found a bag of money just now, do I have something else?
After searching through the tattered bag, Gu Qing Shan finally found something.
He took out a small, wrinkled white flower.
"The Pixie Kingdom!"
The Elder received the flower and muttered in a low voice: "Witness new life"
The nearly withered white flower flew up from his hand, spun in the air, and quickly turned into the sky.
Everything on the ground changed.
Lush green grass, countless flowers, houses of various colors.
The pixies appeared. They chased each other, played with each other, and were having a lot of fun.
As soon as the group appeared, the pixies noticed them.
"Aha, it's those idiots from the World Valley!"
"That's right, it's those rare idiots!"
"What are you doing here?"
The pixies asked.
Shroud replied: "Greetings, everyone, our certificate has come into effect, please help us save a person"
The pixies gathered around, looked at the girl on the ground, then at the name on the certificate.
"Reneedol" one of the pixies muttered.
A cluster of white light suddenly appeared from its body, which turned into a thick fragrance that drifted in all directions.
"This is a name favored by Fate!" another pixie exclaimed.
The pixies all became serious.
They descended and surrounded the girl.
A fairy with a crown on her head cleared her throat and asked: "Who wants to save this girl?"
"It's me" Shroud replied.
"So it's Shroud" the pixie adjusted his crown to make it more upright, then asked: "Why do you want to save her?"
"There's no reason, I just want to save her to the end" Shroud replied.
The Fey wearing the crown said, "Ah, foolish young man of the Jie Clan, since you've paid enough gems, let us take a look and see which one will descend here today."
He took out a golden apple, placed it in the girl's hand, and muttered: 「 Endless Beasts of Law, today is the day of worship for us pixies, I wonder which Overlord of Law is willing to come forth and devour this body that possesses the karma of undying, guiding it towards the dawn of new life 」
All the pixies fell silent.
The world was silent.
The scene was so sacred that even the naughtiest fairy held her breath.
Gu Qing Shan saw with her own eyes that a fairy couldn't help but want to sneeze, but in order to avoid making an undignified sound, the fairy gritted her teeth, took out a sledgehammer that was as tall as her, and hammered herself unconscious.
In the silence, something seemed to have come.
The girl's body floated up and was swallowed by the flaming teeth.
At this moment, the owner of the huge mouth did not appear.
A single vertical eye with black stripes appeared in the sky, closely observing the ritual below.
The entity swallowed the girl, then spoke to the pixies with a resounding voice: 「 I will take her body, leaving her soul with no place to drift, only able to return to your world and accept a new fate 」
Mist began to boil.
This mist condensed into a girl with eight arms.
From the void of space, the voice continued: 「 Your new life shall be filled with eight different kinds of power, or you may discard these powers in order to achieve the one thing that you have always dreamed of 」
The girl had her eyes closed, then asked: "I'm saved?"
The entity repeated: 「 Indeed, you shall be filled with eight different kinds of power, or you may live as you wish, you may now choose 」
The girl's eyes were still closed, seemingly thinking of something as she lightly scowled, then raised her voice: "I want to win against fate, I want to eliminate all sinful deeds"
As soon as she said so, the eight arms on the girl's back were completely incinerated. The ashes scattered in the void of space drifted with the wind, then turned into a pair of pure black wings that landed on her back.
In the sky, the vertical eye with black stripes looked down at the girl and spoke in a profound tone: 「 Reneedol, you shall be given a pair of wings, one for you to overcome all obstacles and triumph over all your enemies; the other for you to absorb power and become the companion of the strongest 」
「 The stars are the manifestation of fate, they shall adorn your wings and guide your way 」
From the void of space, countless stars descended from above, falling onto her wings and giving off a beautiful glow.
This scene was so beautiful, so divine that it caused everyone to feel shocked.
Watching this, the crocodile's body slowly faded away.
All the supernatural phenomena disappeared.
The girl opened her eyes and looked around.
She saw countless pixies, as well as Shroud and the others.
She walked straight up to Shroud, knelt down on one knee, and said: "I can feel it, it was you who saved me"
Shroud helped her up and grinned: "It's fine, don't worry about it"
Their gazes met.
Shroud's gaze was warm and cheerful.
Shroud's cheerful smile was reflected in the girl's pair of eyes that were as deep as water.
"Win against fate, eliminate all sinful deeds, this isn't a joke, do you really think that way?" Shroud asked.
"I do" the girl replied.
Shroud stared closely at the pair of wings covered in stars on her back and muttered: "How wonderful, from today onwards, there will be a new Profession in this world"
"You saved me, please bestow a name on my Profession" the girl lowered her head and said.
Shroud thought briefly, then smiled: "Then we'll call it Angel of Condemnation"
"Yes" the girl replied.
…
Reneedol stayed behind.
Under Shroud's care, she obtained a cave that was right next to Shroud and Gu Qing Shan's cave.
By the time he finished arranging the cave for her, it was already dark.
Everyone else had already left.
Shroud and Gu Qing Shan were also about to leave.
Shroud finally reminded her: "Reneedol, this place is the World Valley, if you aren't strong enough, you will never be able to leave this place. So from tomorrow onwards, you will follow us and listen to the Elder's teachings on how to become stronger"
"Understood" Reneedol replied.
Shroud nodded, then pulled Gu Qing Shan out of the cave.
The two of them headed back together.
Gu Qing Shan didn't have the time to ask about this world and instead asked in a low voice: "Shroud, why did you save her at the time?"
Shroud asked in return: "What if you were me?"
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
She was saved, but that rescue resulted in the death of countless Deities in the future.
But that's all in the future. Who can foresee the future?
The Earth Creator could, but still died in the end.
Lady Fusi could as well, but still struggled for the sake of the future.
Today, Boss saved Reneedol, but countless years later, he was killed by her.
Fate is truly a paradoxical thing.
"… Shroud, have you already fallen in love with that girl?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
Shroud didn't expect him to ask this, so he sincerely replied: "That's the adults' business — — in truth, from what I've observed, I feel that among the adults, the men prefer to play with other men, women aren't much"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "Playing is playing, but women are a different matter"
Shroud asked: "What is it?"
"Love — — you're still young, you'll understand it when you grow up" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Rhode, do you actually understand this matter?"
Shroud's eyes were filled with desire.
"Of course I do, unlike you in the future — —" halfway through her words, Gu Qing Shan stopped talking.
Shroud suddenly scoffed: "You swindler"
"Why do you say I'm a swindler?" Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
Shroud replied: "I just used my Detect skill and found that although you weren't lying, you only thought you understood"
"… Is that so?" Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
"That's right" Shroud replied.
"I don't believe you" Gu Qing Shan refuted him.
"It's true, the skill won't lie, you don't understand anything about love, Rhode" Shroud told him sincerely.
"…"
"It's fine, Rhode, you're only 8 years old, it's still too early for love"
"… Thank you"
