"I'll go and talk to him..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Renea suddenly interjected:
"I'll go, Uncle Ezaki."
"I know him..."
As soon as she said this, everyone was astonished.
...
Xue Jing looked at the girl walking out of the forest, a look of realization on his face:
"I thought it was another impolite local; it turns out to be you, Renea."
The girl walked across the battlefield. The still smoldering lava made the air around her murky and scorching, causing her to sniffle; instantly her lungs were irritated, and she began coughing violently.
"Cough...cough cough, Xue, Xue Jing."
Walking up to Xue Jing, Renea glanced at the corpse of a Fla Wailing Dragon nearby and exclaid:
"I didn't expect you to have killed a Fla Wailing Dragon... Are all foreigners as formidable as you?"
Xue Jing took out a simultaneous translation earpiece from his backpack, put it on her, and smiled:
"We outsiders are like that, seeing sothing and wondering whether it tastes good. That dragon looked pretty appetizing; I couldn't resist."
Just as Renea was about to ask why he had fought with the Fla Wailing Dragon, hearing his reason made the corners of her mouth twitch:
"Oh... Okay then."
The son of the Great Dragon God... to be killed for such a reason, it seems a bit unfair.
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows, "What, didn't offend your beliefs, did it?"
Renea quickly shook her head, waving her hands, "Not at all, not at all, as long as you're happy."
Xue Jing chuckled, looked at the bowl in her hand, and asked curiously, "Hmm? What are you doing with that bowl?"
Renea then rembered her main task and hurriedly handed the bowl to Xue Jing.
Xue Jing reached out to take it and looked into the bowl.
It contained only half a bowl of ordinary water.
As he was puzzled, in the reflection in the water, a small person appeared on his shoulder.
At the sa ti, a panel suddenly popped up with a ssage.
[Divine Substance detected, absorbing Divinity...]
"Hmm?"
Xue Jing's eyes narrowed.
The little person standing on his shoulder in the reflection slowly began to speak:
"You must be Xue Jing, right? Let introduce myself. I am a Mirror Person, which, according to your human terminology, is also— a Divine Relic [GOD-1108]."
...
"I see, so you're the BOSS's ssenger to inform about this," Xue Jing realized.
After a conversation with [GOD-1108·Mirror Person], Xue Jing understood his current predicant.
"[GOD-005·Mirror World], not long ago the BOSS talked to about this (see extra chapters); I didn't expect to encounter it so soon."
Xue Jing frowned.
"The rging mirror, the combination of Mirror World and Intersecting Boundaries, caused unpredictable changes..."
No wonder since he entered the Intersecting Boundaries, things seed strange, many places did not match the information provided by the White Crow.
"That's the situation, this Intersecting Boundary now possesses the properties of the Mirror World; you cannot leave through the usual thods. You must find the flaw in the Mirror World, that is, the core of the Intersecting Boundaries, and break it in order to leave."
The Mirror Person sat on his shoulder, swinging his legs, and spoke casually.
"I heard you are the elite of the elite from The Sixth Agency; you have been here for several days, do you have any clue about the core of these Intersecting Boundaries?"
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows, "Hmm? Hasn't the White Crow told you?"
The Mirror Person, sensing his ominous premonition from his words, asked, "What do you an?"
Xue Jing smiled slightly and said, "It seems you have been deceived, Little Mirror."
"Before I entered the Intersecting Boundaries, the White Crow had already mostly located the core of these Intersecting Boundaries."
"Moreover, I am not one of the elite of The Sixth Agency; I'm just an external collaborator with them."
The Mirror Person urgently said, "What is the core?"
"It is a Core Creature, a young Pureblood Dragon Species," Xue Jing replied.
Upon hearing this, the Mirror Person started stomping furiously on Xue Jing's shoulder, exasperatedly exclaiming, "Damn humans, I've been deceived again!"
"If I had known it was like this, I would never have agreed to co in!"
"Pureblood Dragon Species... Even at a juvenile stage, you can't possibly defeat it; it's over, we will be trapped in the Intersecting Boundaries forever!"
"I never expected Wu Youqing, that bushy-browed girl, to deceive !"
"I'll never trust you humans again!"
Seeing it on the verge of tears, Xue Jing comforted, "I know you're anxious, but don't panic just yet."
"Things are indeed a bit troubleso, but not unsolvable."
The Mirror Person squatted down in despair, hugging its knees, "How can it be solved? The only way out is to destroy the Core, but the Core is a Pureblood Dragon Species... You don't understand how terrifying the Pureblood Dragon Species is, even just a juvenile is a monster beyond your imagination."
"It's hopeless, we're dood."
Seeing that it had withdrawn into itself, Xue Jing didn't say much more, just opened the panel to take a look.
[Divine Absorption complete]
[Holding Divinity: 851]
Hmm, not bad, it provided over five hundred sixty points of Divinity.
Indeed, Divine Relics are satisfying... basically don't need to do anything, just touch them and earn several hundred points.
Unlike Dragon Breed, which are tiring to farm and do not provide as much Divinity.
Fortunately, the bulk quantity accumulates to sothing substantial.
"We must kill that Pureblood dragon to get out of the Intersecting Boundaries... indeed, it's troubleso."
Xue Jing reflected with a thoughtful look.
If he wasn't occupied, it wouldn't matter; he could just develop in the Intersecting Boundaries until he could kill the Pureblood dragon — he'd get out sooner or later.
But the problem was, he had a competition in a few days.
Though challenging U19 to snatch [GOD-519·The Blade That Never Dulls] from Otogirusu wasn't too critical of a matter.
Yet, it was a rare request from Wu Youqing outside of work.
The tycoon lady boss was really good to him, so if possible, he wanted to do his best to fulfill this task.
In that case, he needed to kill the Pureblood dragon within these few days...
Xue Jing crossed his arms, tapping his right elbow with the index finger of his left hand.
"Can't overpower it with brute force, will have to find a way with the Serpent Slayer Spearhead."
His gaze shifted to Renea, who was sitting obediently beside him.
At the mont, the girl was holding a piece of seasoned Fire Dragon at, looking hesitant, her small face scrunched up, not knowing whether to eat it or not.
Seeing her, Xue Jing suddenly had an idea, pondered for a mont, then spoke:
"Renea, this Dragon God Priestess... what exactly do you do?"
The girl paused for a mont, then spoke softly, "A priestess serves the deities... the Dragon God Priestess, of course, serves the Dragon God."
Xue Jing stared at her for a while, smiled, and said, "You seem sowhat reluctant?"
Renea lowered her head, making her expression unreadable, and spoke in a flat tone, "How could that be? Serving the Great Dragon God is the highest honor, and in this generation, I am the only one in my country so honored."
Xue Jing thought for a mont, then said, "The situation is quite urgent now, and I don't have much ti left, so I can't slowly figure out your exact thoughts. Therefore, I'll just ask directly."
"I plan to kill your 'Great Dragon God.' Would you be willing to help ?"
Renea's expression shook violently: "Kill... the Great Dragon God!?"
Xue Jing nodded, "That's right."
"I..." Renea's face showed hesitation.
Seeing her expression, Xue Jing felt reassured, he smiled and said, "Don't rush your decision."
He held up two fingers.
"Two days."
"In two days, I'll be waiting for you here."
"Then, tell your answer."
Renea's expression cald down, she shook her head, and said, "It's impossible, the Great Dragon God cannot be killed."
"And... even if, if I agreed, what could I really help you with?"
Xue Jing tilted his head, "Didn't you say your duty is to serve the Dragon God? Since it's service, I presu you'd have close access opportunities to the Dragon God, right?"
Renea paused, "Yes, that's correct, but..."
"That's enough." Xue Jing smiled, placing a reassuring hand on Renea's slender shoulder.
"The grand deed of deicide may just be realized by your hands..."
Xue Jing murmured softly.
