I was the one who told her to do this, why did she mention it to me again?
Gu Qing Shan quickly thought about it.
After chatting for a bit, Su Cher seemed to have something to do and quickly hung up.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then asked: "Impartial Goddess, are there any issues with Su Cher's real-time data?"
[The Blazing Angel's controller has sent out a signal that everything is normal] Impartial Goddess answered.
"Hm, that's good" Gu Qing Shan calmed down.
…
Let's rewind time a bit.
A desolate plain.
An endless expanse. There were no living things.
Su Xue Er was striding forward.
In front of her, the other 8 Lords were also walking forward.
Even though they're using the most comfortable airship, after reaching the forbidden zone, even they can't get off the ship. According to the ancient tradition, they have to walk.
This is the planet's North Pole.
The further they go, the more obvious the polar climate becomes.
The sun is currently at the Southern horizon, its pale white light without a hint of warmth sweeping across the land.
This kind of day will continue for the entire summer.
It won't be until a few months later that the North Pole will welcome dusk.
For the 9 esteemed VIPs, the only good news is that it's only the middle of summer, so the North Pole's environment is still at a level that humans can endure.
They all wore starlight cloaks, didn't use any means of transportation, didn't have any servants, just continued to walk forward.
After a few hours, they finally decided to take a break.
"Every time I come to this place, I have to rest for a long time after returning" an old Lord rubbed his leg and complained.
"With the starlight supporting you, you'd be lying if you said you're tired" another Lord smiled and said.
The Lords chatted among themselves.
One of them closed his eyes and didn't say anything.
Seeing that, the person next to him patted him.
"What are you doing?" he opened his eyes.
"What are you doing? Taking a nap? "
"No, I'm just taking a break to watch the gladiator fights"
Hearing that, the others all had a look of understanding on their faces.
The Game of Eternal was still going on.
"This time's Game of Eternal, none of the participants are strong enough, what's there to watch?" one of the Lords said.
"The humans are all scared of that Murder Clown" another Lord said.
They were casually chatting, seemingly very familiar with the Game of Eternal.
Su Cher felt that it was extremely strange.
She suddenly remembered Gu Qing Shan's reminder, and couldn't help but ask a familiar Manor Head, "Everyone seems to understand this game?"
The Lord said: "That's right, I forgot to tell you about this."
"Lord Su, think carefully, after this game was released, did anyone from the 9 Lords participate?"
"I don't think so."
"Yes, your grandfather and we don't allow anyone to participate."
"Why?"
"If this game really is as good as it says it is" another Lord chimed in, "trust me, we have plenty of death warriors, the Champions will belong to the 9 Lords"
The Manor Head who was close to the Su Family said, "Although you haven't received the inheritance yet, it's almost time. I think I can tell you about this."
He looked at the other Manor Heads.
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
The Lord cleared his throat and spoke: "The Game of Eternal, it eats souls"
"Eats … souls?" Su Cher instinctively tensed up.
"That's right, the flesh and soul of those who died in battle are its nourishment"
"What about the Champions?"
"The Champions will become its eternal servant"
Su Cher instinctively asked: "Are there no exceptions?"
As soon as she asked this, all the Manor Heads fell silent.
The relaxed expression on their faces disappeared, as if thinking of something, feeling a bit anxious and panicked.
"… You'll know soon enough," the Manor Lord said vaguely.
Su Cher didn't ask any further, because she suddenly thought of Gu Qing Shan.
Could it be that Gu Qing Shan heard something?
But he definitely doesn't know the truth.
Su Cher quickly asked: "Besides us 9 Lords, does anyone else know about this?"
Hearing that, everyone's expression calmed down.
The Manor Lords spoke one after the other.
"Some know a few clues, but don't know the whole truth"
"These people usually tell others not to participate, but instead join the game themselves, wanting to find out the secret"
"That way, they die even faster"
"That's right, there are also a few people with outstanding abilities who noticed the danger early on, but still couldn't help but join the game"
"Everyone is greedy, thinking that they're the only exception in the face of danger"
"But in reality, no one is an exception"
Su Cher's heart tightened.
The 8 Lords wouldn't lie about something like this at the same time.
Gu Qing Shan must know something, that's why she warned me not to join.
But what about himself?
No, I have to stop him from finding out about the game!
Su Cher walked away.
"Where are you going?" one of the Lords asked.
"I'm going to relieve myself, I'll be back soon" she answered without turning back.
The Lord looked away.
After walking far enough, Su Cher found a place to block the other Lords' line of sight and quickly turned on her Holo-Brain.
Pulling up Gu Qing Shan's contact number, her finger hovered in front of the screen and stopped.
She finally clicked it.
The call quickly connected.
"Qing Shan, I have something very important to tell you"
She spoke quickly.
"Definitely don't join the Game of Eternal, it's a trap"
"You have to promise me that you definitely won't join"
Hearing the other side's promise, Su Cher finally calmed down.
"That's good, that's good" she muttered.
"Did you receive the things I gave you?" the other side asked.
Su Cher couldn't help but smile and answered: "I did, a jade bottle and a booklet"
"What about the card?"
"I also received the card"
"That's good, I originally wanted to go myself, but I'm a bit injured, so it's hard for me to move around. I'm afraid that your parents' impression of me will worsen if I go"
"You're injured? What happened? Is it serious? "she was a bit nervous and hurriedly asked.
"It's fine, it's fine, I'm much better now" Gu Qing Shan laughed it off.
Su Cher sighed in relief.
She thought for a bit, then said: "After a while, I'll bring you to Lake Island to play, don't worry, my parents won't scold you anymore"
"Ah? Really? "the voice on the other side sounded surprised.
"It's true" saying so, Su Xue Er was extremely sure.
At this moment, she suddenly felt the fatigue, pain, fear and hesitation all disappear without a trace.
That's right, that's it.
From now on, I'll be in charge of everything in the Su family.
No one can control my fate, no one can force me to do anything.
She clenched her fist and silently thought that.
Then Gu Qing Shan continued: "The booklet I gave you, you have to practice it, it'll be good for you"
"Ah, yes, I'll keep that in mind"
"Is it hard to cultivate at home?" the other side asked again.
"Hm — –" Su Cher looked up.
The 8 Lords were resting not too far away.
As for himself, he was already a Prefecture Lord.
For some reason, she wanted to wait until they met again to tell him everything that happened recently.
"It's not that hard, I can still take it" she said.
"Has Wind Elemental 4th stage stabilized?"
"It's already stabilized"
"How impressive" the other side praised.
"Hmph, just you wait. I remember our agreement. Once I reach the fifth phase of the Five Elements, you'll follow me."
Saying so, Su Cher suddenly felt herself returning to the past, to the good times of the past.
She noticed that it's been a long time since she spoke like this.
"Ahahaha, good!" from the Holo-Brain, Gu Qing Shan smiled and replied.
At this point, the Lords all stood up, preparing to leave again.
Su Cher hurriedly said: "I'll talk to you later, I have something to do right now, talk to you later"
"Alright, do your best to cultivate" Gu Qing Shan said.
The call ended.
Su Cher's mood instantly improved.
"Elemental … 5th stage … I definitely have to reach it" she bit her lip and silently clenched her fist.
At this point, the sun was blocked by the clouds as it started to rain.
The raindrops fell on the ground, becoming heavier and heavier.
Su Cher reached her hand out to catch the rainwater and couldn't help but shiver.
This was the freezing rain, a bone-chilling cold.
The 9 Lords once again set out, heading towards the center of the North Pole.
The rain didn't stop for even a second.
The North Wind howled.
With such harsh weather, even a Professionist wouldn't be able to handle it.
But strangely, neither the rain nor the wind could get close to them.
Su Cher noticed that ever since she entered this place, her starlight cloak had been lightly fluttering.
Within the range of the cloak, the temperature was just right and the air was refreshing.
This was also the reason why the Lords were able to keep moving forward.
As they walked, a few dried corpses started to appear on the road.
These corpses were all dehydrated, curled up into a ball. Some of them were so old that they were blown away by the wind.
"No need to look, they're all people trying to pry into our 9 Lords' secrets" one of the Lords said.
"How did they die?" Su Cher asked.
"Without the starlight cloak, any living thing that enters will die" another Lord answered.
"There's something wrong with this rain, let's hurry up!" the Lord at the front of the group shouted.
Su Cher nodded and hurriedly followed.
On the way, the freezing rain became heavier and heavier.
The wind carried the cold rain with it as it hit the ground, making a lot of rustling noises.
Many of the flat areas were washed away by the rain, revealing the solid alloy underneath.
Su Cher was shocked.
Why is there an alloy floor here?
She instinctively stomped the ground with her foot, feeling that the ground was flat and solid.
Su Cher immediately paid attention.
She didn't step on any of the areas covered in mud and rocks, instead choosing to walk on the flat ground.
Very quickly, she discovered an unbelievable fact.
Beneath this piece of land, the ground was made of alloy.
"No need to try, we don't have much cover under our feet right now, you can get close to the control panel's surface" one of the Lords said.
"The control panel's surface?" Su Cher asked further.
"A type of alloy, this planet doesn't have the raw materials" the Lord answered.
"This planet??"
"Yes, this planet — — - to be honest, even if we have the raw materials, our current technology wouldn't be able to create this alloy"
"Current technology … alloy creation …" Su Cher was completely stunned.
Another Lord chimed in: "We're already close to the center of the pole, so the area under our feet belongs to the control panel"
Su Cher was a bit surprised.
Suddenly, a shocking thought appeared in her mind.
"Wait a minute — –" she exclaimed.
"That's right, you're right" the first Lord answered.
