The 900 million World Layers alliance world.

In the long corridor outside the Profession Committee.

Xie Dao Ling and Leng Tian Xing both bowed to the Lords: “We will also excuse ourselves”

“Alright, farewell” Chen Wang smiled and waved.

“Please wait a moment” Yun Ji spoke.

“Is there something else?” Xie Dao Ling asked.

“What will you be doing next?” Yun Ji asked her.

“I will bring him back, then go to the cultivation alliance for some official business”

“What business specifically?” Yun Ji asked further.

“I will be having a meeting with the alliance’s council to see whether or not we should form a party to scout the Demon Nation, or declare a small-scale war to probe them”

Xie Dao Ling felt a bit confused.

Why would a Lord be interested in personal matters like these.

Yun Ji reached her hand out from under her cloak.

She was holding a plush doll in her hand as she offered it to Xie Dao Ling.

This was a very life-like doll, an exact copy of Xie Dao Ling herself.

Xie Dao Ling looked at the doll, then at Yun Ji.

After Gu Qing Shan left, Yun Ji had put her hood up again, hiding inside her robe without letting anyone see her expression.

Right now, she appeared a lot more mysterious and noble, perhaps even a bit indescribably eerie.

Chen Wang glanced at Yun Ji, then at Xie Dao Ling.

“If she’s giving it to you then take it, quite a few people couldn’t get one even if they wanted to” Chen Wang advised her with a friendly tone.

Xie Dao Ling hesitantly accepted the doll.

She tied the doll to her waist then thanked her.

Yun Ji explained: “Your powers are currently accumulating, preparing to break through an ultimate threshold of human potential, one day, you will definitely become one of us”

“At this crucial point in time, you shouldn’t go anywhere, stay home, seclude yourself and cultivate, you will soon attain a completely different life”

“Thank you for your words, but is this plush doll somehow related to your advice?” Xie Dao Ling asked.

“Of course it’s related” Yun Ji answered.

Then she chanted something.

The doll stood up, climbed onto Xie Dao Ling’s hand and spoke in an infantile tone: “A little girl should make sure to protect herself”

Following this voice, Xie Dao Ling’s body began to change.

She slowly shrank, her skin became whiter, both her arms and legs became shorter as her originally imposing atmosphere went away.

She just transformed into an 8-9 years old little girl!

“What is this!?”

Xie Dao Ling’s voice contained a bit of anxiety, but more so it had an immaturity of a little girl that sounded young and cute.

She quickly raised one hand, preparing to cast her spells and got ready for battle at any time.

Intense spirit energy erupted from her body, drifting about as she was ready to infuse it into her hand seals, but——-

No matter what, she appeared so cute that she couldn’t display an imposing manner no matter how hard she tried.

“It’s fine, this will only turn you into your younger form temporarily, it’s beneficial for you” Chen Wang explained.

Xie Dao Ling glanced at him, then at Yun Ji hidden who was under her robe.

She suddenly let go of her hand seals and helplessly sighed: “Even though I still don’t understand what’s going on, I can feel your goodwill”

Xie Dao Ling held the plush doll close as she spoke in a helpless but serious manner, no matter how you looked at her, you’d see a sulking angel of a loli.

Yun Ji finally spoke again: “As you break through that threshold, the disturbance at the time will surely bring the attention of countless sides, many organizations will attempt at any cost to obtain a new Combatant who has no backing like yourself”

Big Bear also added to the explanation: “Perhaps some of the methods will be to flatter you and offer peaceful conditions, but some others will contain hidden, undetectable means. At worst, some dark organizations would have already paid attention to you and spare no unsavory method that others spit on in order to gain your allegiance”

“This is why you should bring this plush doll with you——- she will help you conceal yourself within a fog of fate, as long as she is with you, when you breakthrough, no organizations or forces will be able to find your world or you”

“But this Mystic-type magic does have a side effect. That is it will temporarily put you back into your child state”

“—–alright, we’ve told you what you needed to know, return to your world and do not go anywhere until you successfully breakthrough and stabilise your cultivation”

Xie Dao Ling seriously listened to the explanation and was about to ask something else when someone tapped her on the shoulder.

It was Yun Ji.

Yun Ji had appeared directly in front of her without notice and gave her a light tap.

Xie Dao Ling instantly disappeared from the 900 million World Layers alliance world.

Chen Wang also came forward and smiled as he patted Leng Tian Xing’s shoulder: “Don’t feel dejected, you just have to try harder”

Leng Tian Xing also disappeared.

He was also sent back to Shen Wu world.

The mechanical arm that has been staying silent all this time finally muttered: “Boring mysticism”

“Mysticism isn’t boring——- not to mention, isn’t turning the maturing leader of a cultivation civilization back into an 8-9 years old girl interesting?” Chen Wang grinned and said.

But he also turned to Yun Ji and spoke seriously: “Something seems off with you today”

“Hm, I just purely want to protect her, since I can already smell the stench of death” Yun Ji answered.

“So she could die?” the mechanical arm asked, intrigued.

Yun Ji replied: “Not her, us”

“Us?” Big Bear couldn’t believe his ears.

“Yes, a certain event is currently heading towards us, one that will likely cause us to lose our lives. To prevent her not having anyone on our side to protect her as she breaks through, I’m just giving her a hand ahead of time” Yun Ji told them.

As soon as she said that, a loud, constant noise began to ring.

The rhythmic alarm echoed across the entire 900 million World Layers alliance world.

“High alert?” Chen Wang was shocked.

“You’re kidding! A high alert means all departments must stop what they’re doing and get ready for battle—– what exactly happened!?” Big Bear roared.

They all had a sudden surprised expression, then pulled out a newspaper from their pockets.

Words and pictures began to fill the empty newspaper.

The picture on the front page was an automatic machine gun.

It was unknown what the gun had gone through, but it was almost completely broken, the gun grip was shattered and broken, the gun muzzle horribly bent with various parts and components scattered all over the ground.

The headline of the front page contained only 2 lines

[The Spire’s God Institute scout team was completely wiped out!]

[Because I die, I issue one final warning: This is the most terrifying, most dangerous creature in the 900 million World Layers, we must destroy it immediately! Immediately!]

As they read the news, they were unable to process it.

As Lord-class Combatants, they have all been through a lot, but now an invisible air of sorrow drifted around them.

“Automatic machine gun is dead” Chen Wang muttered.

“He died, this is unbelievable, even as strong as it was, it still died” the mechanical arm was stunned.

Above them, a resounding female voice echoed across the 900 million World Layers alliance world.

[Attention all personnel]

[Attention all personnel]

[War is coming]

[God Institute had dislodged from its original location, currently heading towards the direction of the 27 World Layers Southward from our location]

[All personnel prepare for battle]

[I repeat, all personnel prepare for battle!]

The 4 Lords silently listened.

“Lady Darksea herself is issuing the warning seems like the situation really is urgent”

“27 World Layers Southward from us——- what was over there that’s so close?” the mechanical arm wondered.

“The Spire Keeper Association headquarters” Chen Wang replied.

Two staff members ran towards them.

“Sirs, the top brass emergency meeting is about to begin, please participate” they spoke respectfully.

“Very well, get the others, we’ll be there right away” Chen Wang spoke.

“Understood!”

The two staff members left.

Now that it was silent around them, Chen Wang turned to look at Yun Ji with a serious expression unlike anything before.

He asked with a low and broken tone: “O’ Lord of the mist, she who shelters the mystical fate, Forecaster of all World Calamity, esteemed lady Serena, I solemnly ask you and the secrets you protect, whether or not we have a hope of survival among death?”

Yun Ji’s body suddenly disappeared completely under her robe, instead replaced by a surge of sudden dark fog.

When Chen Wang uttered the words ‘solemnly ask’, two voices answered him from under the robe.

One voice was cold and indifferent, the other was Yun Ji’s original voice as they spoke in near-unison.

『 “Fate was never under our control, no one can stop the fury of its rage, the only path to survival is to stay away from it” 』
