Chapter 3: Seeking Revenge on the Demon, It Had Devoured Over Thirty Thousand of Her Moon Beasts
After weighing the options repeatedly, Yueshitu felt it was best to stay calm. It wasn't that she was backing down, but among these three, none were easy to mess with. One possessed overwhelming individual combat power, shattering everything with a single blade; another devoured any living thing it saw; and the last was utterly bizarre and unpredictable.
As the afternoon sun dipped toward the west, the World War came to an end.
[Announcement (Void Tree): The current round of the World War has concluded.]
[Victorious Side: Reincarnation Paradise!]
[Announcement (Void Tree): All contractors will leave this world within five minutes.]
[Announcement (Void Tree): Because contractor 11**25 from Apocalypse Paradise unearthed the 'Terminal Root,' all contractors from Apocalypse Paradise will gain an additional 12 natural days of stay in this world, with no main storyline missions.]
[Owner of the Terminal Root: Reincarnation Paradise.]
...
[Announcement (Reincarnation Paradise): All contractors on our side will receive a Holy Spirit Rank Weapon Chest × 1 and a Golden Skill Point × 1 as additional rewards.]
...
With the World War over, a peculiar scene unfolded. Death Paradise suffered a crushing defeat, and Sanctuary Paradise fared even worse.
The ultimate beneficiaries were Reincarnation Paradise, taking the lion's share, and Apocalypse Paradise, getting a smaller portion. Su Xiao didn't know what the 'Terminal Root' was, but judging from the announcements, its value was immense. It had been accidentally discovered by an Apocalypse Paradise contractor while mining, and its ownership ultimately fell to Reincarnation Paradise, which was why the Apocalypse Paradise contractors could remain in this world for another 12 days.
"It's over!"
On top of a dilapidated building in the ancient capital, Molei and Yueshitu had their arms around each other's shoulders, cheeks pressed together, and took a photo with a click.
Compared to the scene with Yueshitu and Molei, the atmosphere at the Sun Temple was completely different.
A fierce gale howled past, rustling Shenfu's robes. The sky was overcast with dark clouds, and a swirling vortex of gray-black thunderclouds rumbled with a dull roar.
"Bai Ye, I've been waiting for you a long time. It's close to what I guessed—you came here from the Western Continent, and you won't be teleported out of this world just because the World War ended."
As Shenfu spoke, he glanced at the gloomy sky.
"..."
Su Xiao sat atop the Sun Temple, taking out the Ouroboros Stone Tablet. He knew the game with a group of old schemers was about to begin. Interestingly, in the early stages, none of them would directly fall out with him, and he wouldn't do that either, since each of them currently held a 'key.'
