Gu Qing Shan looked around.
The Awaitings were all looking at him.
"If you want to join us, the first requirement is to be able to see through that painting — — congratulations, you've done a great job"
Shen Ji crossed his arms and looked at Gu Qing Shan with an appreciative gaze.
"Just because of that painting?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"That painting has existed for countless years, it was a casual creation of a Bronze Lord" Shen Ji replied.
"Bronze Lord?" Gu Qing Shan repeated.
"Indeed, we call the masters of the Sequences the Bronze Lord — — after all, they are all trapped on the bronze pillars — — as for their original identities, no one dared to investigate" Shen Ji replied.
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "In the illusion I saw, that Bronze Lord seemed to be in control of the entire War Sequence"
"Indeed, in truth, all of us came from the War Sequence" Lady Fusi chimed in.
"How … did you discover all of this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
The Awaitings exchanged glances, but didn't say anything.
Fusi thought for a bit, then spoke: "Each of us came from different backgrounds, the world we live in is also different, and the things we've experienced are also innumerable — — my experience is the simplest, so let me show you my past"
Fusi lightly waved her scepter.
Everything around them disappeared. The scenery faded away.
A new world had appeared.
This was a lush, verdant forest.
Next to a clear stream, a young girl was holding a cup of water in her hand, slowly taking a sip.
She had a pair of clear eyes, flawless snow-white skin, and was already a stunning beauty at such a young age.
Fusi stared at the young girl with a nostalgic expression on her face.
After drinking, the young girl suddenly became cautious and slowly stood up from the rock in the stream.
She took off the emerald bow on her back and shouted with a childish voice: "Who's hiding on the other side?"
The grass on the other side of the stream moved.
A leopard with dark flames all over its body rushed out.
It was as fast as lightning, pouncing straight at the young girl.
The young girl scoffed, drew an arrow from her back, nocked it on the bowstring, pulled it into the shape of a full moon, took aim, and released.
Her movements were as natural as flowing water, completed in a single breath, full of elegance.
Sha!
The arrow flew.
He missed!
The arrow flew out from the leopard's side and disappeared into the jungle.
Junior Leopard's eyes revealed a trace of contempt.
The flesh and blood of elves were great supplements for evolution, but the elves were truly powerful. They were born to be divine archers and were proficient in many weapons, so it was impossible to kill them normally.
Except for young elves like the ones in front of him.
For some unknown reason, the Elves actually allowed this young Elf to roam the forest alone.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The leopard opened its bloody mouth and bit at the little girl's neck.
The little girl wanted to pull out another arrow, but she was clearly panicking. Her movements were no longer as smooth as before. Her hand reached into the quiver several times, but she still couldn't pull out an arrow.
— It was too late!
"Stop!"
The little girl suddenly shouted.
The leopard opened its mouth wide, its four claws in the air, and its tail straightened. It was in the middle of a perfect attack.
But it stopped in mid-air.
It remained motionless in its hunting posture.
The little girl looked at the leopard, then looked around guiltily.
There was no one around.
The little girl sighed in relief, slowly pulled out an arrow, walked in front of the leopard, and placed the arrow into its mouth.
"I am the future divine archer of the Green Forest tribe, so I'll show you my power"
The little girl pulled the bowstring to its limit and let go.
Sha!
The arrow pierced through the leopard's mouth and through its head.
— — -this was a hit.
The little girl satisfyingly put the bow away and muttered: "Time resets"
With a dull 'thud', the leopard fell to the ground, dead.
— — -even until its death, it didn't know what just happened.
Some commotion could be heard from afar.
Several figures quickly landed next to the little girl.
"Fusi, why did you sneak out again?" an adult elf asked.
The little girl stepped on the leopard's body and cleared her throat: "I heard that a few blind leopards had recently come to this forest, so I came to practice"
The elves looked at the leopard on the ground.
"She killed it with a single arrow?"
"Let me take a look"
"… How unimaginable, Fusi was able to reach such a high level at only 7 years old …"
The little girl crossed her arms and proudly tilted her chin up.
Seeing this, Gu Qing Shan cleared her throat and asked: "Lady Fusi, is that you?"
"When I was young" Fusi replied.
"Your talents are truly astonishing" Gu Qing Shan sincerely praised her.
Fusi smiled and replied: "At that age, I thought that the most powerful people in this world were archers, and that the Law of Temporal magic was nothing more than a cheating method that couldn't be used in public, until I truly matured …"
A scene flashed.
A female elf around 17-18 years old, wearing a set of light-colored leather armor.
She stood at the edge of the forest, facing the horde of beasts on the plains and loudly declared:
"Retreat, or I'll kill you all"
A lion stepped out from the crowd and stared at her: "You are — — your excellency Fusi?"
"Indeed" the little girl nodded.
The lion hesitantly asked: "You were clearly living in a forest several ten thousand miles away, why did you appear here?"
"I came with my mother to visit my relatives" the little girl sincerely replied.
"When did you arrive?" the lion asked.
"I just arrived today, haven't had lunch yet" the little girl rubbed her stomach.
"When will you be leaving?" the lion asked.
"I'll probably be staying here for the entire summer" the little girl answered truthfully.
The lion looked at her.
She looked at the lion.
The lion sighed, turned around, and shouted towards the plains: "Retreat — — -"
Gu Qing Shan glanced at Lady Fusi next to her.
"My life had always been smooth, until the year I turned 25" Fusi replied.
The scene flashed again.
A grand celebration was taking place in the forest.
All the elves were here.
12 female elves were gathered around Fusi.
Today, she was dressed to the nines, wearing a long green dress with a rare flower hanging by her ear.
She walked up to the platform and knelt down in front of the elven Grand Elder.
The Grand Elder finished reciting a long prayer and stared at Fusi with a deep gaze.
"Fusi, are you willing to become the protector of the elven race?"
"Of course"
The Grand Elder lightly placed a box in front of her.
"Open it"
Fusi opened the box as she was told.
There was a card lying quietly inside.
A blank Card.
"What is this?" Fusi asked in confusion.
"Take it and vow to protect all of us with it — — - it will help you become the most powerful person in this world" the Grand Elder replied.
Fusi looked at the blank Card.
Outside the scene, Fusi explained to Gu Qing Shan: "At the time, something eerie happened to the elven race, and I couldn't allow anything to happen to me, otherwise the entire elven race might have been destroyed in the war, so I was extremely cautious"
"Then what did you do?" Gu Qing Shan asked.
"I wouldn't make a vow for no reason, so I used all of my life and power to unleash a Space-Time Divine Skill that surpassed all — — - [Quicksand's Grasp]" Fusi replied.
She added: "Time will turn into quicksand, allowing me to steal a bit of it without disturbing any other Laws"
The scene changed again.
On the grand sacrificial platform, as far as the eyes could see, Fusi was kneeling on the ground.
She held the card and swore: "I will definitely not protect everyone with this card"
The entire scene suddenly stopped.
Everyone froze.
— — time stopped.
Fusi slowly exhaled with a worried expression on her face.
"At the intersection of the first and second seconds, the time here must be hidden away, then everything will be replayed!"
A streak of quicksand quickly descended from the void of space, hovered around her fingertip, then was caught in her hand and hidden away.
— — Space-Time Divine Skill: [Quicksand's Grasp]!
Time began to rewind.
The entire scene also began to rewind.
Everything returned to the scene just now — — -
"Take it and vow to protect all of us with it — — - it will help you become the most powerful person in this world" the Grand Elder declared.
Fusi looked at the blank Card.
She picked up the card and swore: "I will definitely protect everyone together with this card"
The Card instantly gave off rays of divine light that completely enveloped Fusi.
Everyone cheered.
The elven Grand Elder also happily nodded.
"Go, Empress of the elven race, you shall ascend to the sky and meet with God!" the Grand Elder excitedly declared.
Fusi leapt into the air.
She passed through the sky and arrived in the silent void of darkness.
The Card gave off a faint 'wu wu wu' sound before lightly fluttering away and landing somewhere in the void of space.
A flickering ray of light flew out and landed on the Card.
A voice suddenly resounded:
"How rare, a wielder of the Law of Time"
Fusi carefully asked: "Excuse me, your excellency, you are — –"
The voice asked: "Your wish is to protect the elven race?"
"Indeed"
"Very well, I shall make this world a paradise for the elves"
"What do I need to do?"
"You will need to go to other worlds to fight, because there are many more places in the infinite worlds that require the protection of a powerful Professionist like yourself"
"You mean, I will have to leave?" Fusi asked a bit reluctantly.
The voice seemed to understand a bit and spoke with a gentle voice: "Don't worry, before you leave, you shall witness the prosperity of the elven race"
"— — I shall send three Divine Envoys to help you alter the Origin power and Laws of this world, making this world only suitable for elves to live in"
Three Cards flew out from the void of space.
The Cards turned.
Three powerful Combatants with towering presences appeared.
They smiled kindly at Fusi. One of them said: "Wielder of Time of the elven race, you could already be considered one of the strongest in your world, but the outside world is much larger and vaster, you will have a truly wonderful life"
"Please first help me complete the Deity's mandate" Fusi said.
"Of course, please wave the Card in your hand — –"
"Very well"
Fusi waved the Card.
The three of them silently watched her.
Fusi seemed to have sensed something and looked down.
At some point, a heavy shackle had appeared on her wrist.
Among the three people, one of them lazily spoke:
"This world is very backward, the Gloom Contract is also very crude and weak"
Another person said: "Even if it's the simplest and crudest dark contract, it's not something someone of her level can break free from."
Fusi asked in a low voice: "What do you mean by that?"
The three people on the other side smirked with ill intent.
"What a young flower … how regretful … from today onwards, you are qualified to become a slave of the Gloom Contract"
