"Did a thief really steal her crystal ball?" Sandra asked sowhat incredulously.
Her daughter's crystal ball was a good item—this Sandra knew for a long ti. It was a gift her husband brought back from the Undead Kingdom for their daughter.
“But soone dared to rob my daughter… Could it be that the other party doesn’t know who he’s stealing from?”
"We thought the sa thing until yesterday," Adam stood in front of the Goddess of Sunlight, but his tone was a bit grave, "but today we received news that soone took that bandit away… to the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom."
"Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom?" Sandra’s expression suddenly froze, and the brush in her hand also stopped moving.
That was the Divine Kingdom of the newly-ascended greater god Rolensia. Even if her foundation couldn’t compare to more established greater gods, she still wasn’t soone a re Tier 7 god like Sandra could offend.
The Goddess of Sunlight was silent for a while before finally ordering, "First, investigate that bandit’s origins."
……
"Bring out the crystal ball," Gu Nan said to An Tiansheng, who was standing in front of him.
"I stole this with my own ability. Why should I give it to you?" An Tiansheng, who had been obedient up until that point, imdiately changed color when he heard that he had to hand over his spoils of war.
"You robbed soone else, and I can also rob you. Will you hand it over yourself, or will you have rob it?" Gu Nan asked with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes.
An Tiansheng's gaze darted around, and he ultimately took out the crystal ball while saying, "Boss, I have no problem giving you the goods, but you can't take it all, right?"
"When we used to share the spoils, the boss took the biggest share, but the brothers also had their share! Otherwise, who would be willing to work so hard to rob things?"
An Tiansheng painstakingly exhorted Gu Nan to not keep everything for himself and even brought up his ti as a bandit as an example.
"You also have a point." Gu Nan revealed a contemplative look. "Then as paynt, you can receive a chance to be resurrected."
"Resurrection?" An Tiansheng showed a puzzled look, not quite understanding.
"That's right. If you’re killed outside, I can resurrect you as long as you leave a wisp of your soul with ."
An Tiansheng was instantly ecstatic. "Is there no price?"
Gu Nan laughed involuntarily. "Of course there is. The resurrection won’t restore your power, so you’ll have to start cultivating from scratch again."
"Still, that’s quite good…" An Tiansheng mulled it over in his head, and it didn't take long for him to decide. "Deal!"
"Then, leave your soul in this." Gu Nan handed the crystal ball back to An Tiansheng.
……
Realizing that he seed to have been tricked, Classmate An Tiansheng left with an indignant expression. After he left, Liang Ruixin soon appeared.
Liang Ruxin belonged to the portion of the nine who failed. He suffered a crushing defeat in the route challenge and didn’t even get past the first level.
Gu Nan had long foreseen this, because the route Liang Ruxin chose really was bad… he chose the Scholar.
The majority of the Scholar's test wasn’t related to strength. Rather, it tested the challenger’s knowledge. In this aspect, how could Liang Ruxin compare to the players, who all had Baidu?
So when the first question appeared, asking him to observe the convergence of a limit, Liang Ruixin decisively chose to give up.
"How does it feel to challenge a completely unknown field?" Gu Nan asked with a smile as he comfortably sipped a kind of light green fruit juice.
Liang Ruxin revealed a bitter smile. "I am willing to follow the route you recomnd, My Lord."
"Smart man." Gu Nan patted his shoulder. "Go try the Phantom Sword Saint first. With your foundation, there’s hope for success."
"Yes."
The Phantom Sword Saint was a powerful route that could be used all the way to Tier 10, and the entry threshold was almost nonexistent, so it was a very high-quality route.
A true Phantom Sword Saint class could only be acquired when one was close to Tier 5, but anyone with outstanding qualifications could study under Chamberlain and simply take their ti cultivating.
After giving Liang Ruxin a once-over of the main points of an apprenticeship under Chamberlain, Gu Nan then sent him back to prepare, while a new figure slowly appeared at that mont.
"Good afternoon, Your Excellency Gu Nan. This humble servant is McKenzie." It was a tall man wearing a black suit, but at this mont, he was bowing slightly with a respectful expression.
"Rolensia’s subordinate?" Gu Nan raised his eyebrow. Rolensia had been so busy lately that he didn't expect her to have the ti to send soone over to him.
"Master has already left for the Red River Divine Kingdom." As if he could see what Gu Nan was thinking, McKenzie explained with a light smile, "This humble servant is here for the matter regarding the Goddess of Sunlight and the Daughter of God."
……
In another location within the Luxuriant Blossoms Divine Kingdom, several n and won in neatly uniford robes were discussing sothing.
"I heard that Miss Macefield’s crystal ball was stolen, so Her Highness the Goddess of Sunlight sent soone over to negotiate."
"Who stole it?"
"One of the guests Her Majesty brought over from the Myriad Heavens Universe."
"The Myriad Heavens Universe? As expected, they’re as barbaric as the people of the North!"
The Myriad Heavens regarded the gods on this side as barbarians; the reverse was true for this side.
These people were all Rolensia’s apostles, and they were apostles responsible for managing the Divine Kingdom, so they possessed considerable authority.
"In my view, Her Majesty has already beco a supre existence, so why does she need to bother with Sandra?" The blue-haired woman among them said as such. Clearly, she wasn’t a fan of the Goddess of Sunlight.
As an apostle, she wasn’t supposed to call the gods by their nas.
"Mind your tongue!" The youth beside her frowned at once. "Dira, rember our identities… McKenzie went to talk with that guest. Let's wait and see how he responds."
"You expect barbarians like them to hand over sothing they stole?" The previous blue-haired woman nad Dira bristled again.
She wasn’t biased—she despised both sides equally.
A person next to her interjected, "Her Majesty has just ascended, so we must be fair in our dealings and not leave a bad reputation."
"Exactly."
They were still talking when McKenzie finally walked in slowly, worry evident on his face.
"Well? Did that guest have a bad attitude?" The youth from earlier couldn’t help asking after seeing McKenzie's expression.
"As a matter of fact, he didn’t. That Lord Gu Nan is very polite." McKenzie revealed a troubled smile. Indeed, he didn’t receive any negative response from Gu Nan.
"That's good then. That one doesn't seem like an unreasonable person," another apostle piped up.
This person had contact with Gu Nan and the others before and also witnessed Gu Nan and Sylvia playing cards together.
"Then you’re wrong about that." McKenzie revealed a helpless look. "Do you guys still rember how two goddesses fought in Dragon Realm not long ago and destroyed tallic Silver Island?”
"Of course. I heard that Her Highness Karina was injured, and even her weapon was broken… Rumor has it that Her Highness Sylvia must have gotten help from soone."
McKenzie nodded wordlessly, then took out two broken halves of a spear from behind him. "That one told to give this to the Goddess of Sunlight, and he also said…"
The group of apostles imdiately gathered around him and grabbed the spear shafts from McKenzie's hands.
"Could this be…?"
"Judging from the material and rank, it does look like it…"
"Don't gossip just yet—what else did that one say?"
McKenzie took a deep breath and imitated Gu Nan's tone, "Don’t forget to return it after showing it to Sandra. This is very expensive."
