Chapter 1425: Rebirth
“Rhode, have you seen the Pixie Kingdom yet?” someone asked.
“Me? No, I haven’t” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Ahaha, Rhode’s lying, he’s just joking with us” Shroud laughed out loud.
Everyone also laughed, even the Elder chuckled and told him: “Rhode, hand the Pixie Kingdom to me”
This time, Gu Qing Shan was unsure.
Earlier, I found a bag of money, then, do I have any other things on me?
Gu Qing Shan searched inside his tattered bag again and found something else.
A small wrinkled white flower.
“The Pixie Kingdom!”
The Elder took the flower, then muttered in a whisper: “Witness a new life”
The nearly wilted white flower flew away from his hand and began spinning in the air, quickly turning into the air itself.
Everything on the ground also changed accordingly.
A lush green meadow, numerous bushes of flowers, and houses of countless colors.
The pixies could be seen here, chasing, playing, making merry with one another without a care in the world.
As soon as the children and the Elder appeared, the pixies noticed them.
“Ah, the morons in the World Valley!”
“That’s right, the morons with the fewest numbers!”
“Why are you here?”
The pixies asked.
Shroud replied: “Hello everyone, our certificate has shown to be effective, please help me save a certain person”
The pixies surrounded and looked at the young girl on the ground, then looked at the name on the certificate
“Reneedol” one of the pixies muttered.
A white glow abruptly appeared around the pixie’s body, which turned into a strong but gentle fragrance that drifted in every direction.
“This is a name favored by Fate!” another pixie exclaimed in shock.
The pixies turned serious.
They landed and stood around the young girl.
A pixie wearing a crown cleared his throat and asked: “Who was it that wanted to save this girl?”
“It was me” Shroud replied.
“So it was Shroud” the pixie fixed his crown to appear more dignified, then asked: “Why do you want to save her?”
“There’s no special reason, I simply want to save her since I can” Shroud replied.
The crown-wearing pixie spoke: “Ah, foolish young man of the Realm race, as you have paid enough gems, we shall take a look to see who would descend upon this place today”
He took out a golden apple, placed it in the young girl’s hands, then whispered: “Law Behemoths, today is the day of us pixie’s offering. Perchance a Master of Law would be willing to arrive and consume this body without karma of death and direct it to a newborn dawn”
All the pixies became silent.
The world itself became silent.
This ritual was so divine that even the most stubborn pixie held its breath.
Gu Qing Shan saw with his own eyes how a pixie was about to sneeze, but to maintain the solemn atmosphere, had taken out a sledgehammer to literally knock itself out.
Something seemed to have arrived in the silence.
The young girl’s body floated into the air before she was consumed by two rows of razor-sharp flaming teeth.
The owner of that giant maw still hadn’t shown itself, only the maw was visible.
A gigantic eye with a striped vertical iris manifested in the sky, carefully looking at the ritual below.
After consuming the young girl, that entity spoke to the pixies with a resounding voice: 「 I have taken her body and robbed her soul of a place to reside, having no choice but to return to your world and accept her new Fate 」
A mass of fog manifested.
This fog then converged to form the body of a young girl with eight arms behind her back.
The voice from the void of space spoke: 「 After your rebirth, you shall gain eight kinds of power, or you can choose to discard all of these powers to pursue that which your heart desires 」
The young girl slowly closed her eyes, then asked: “Have I been saved?”
The entity from before repeated: 「 Indeed, you shall have eight kinds of powers, or you can live as you wish. You may choose now 」
The young girl kept her eyes closed, perhaps thinking of something as her eyebrows became furrowed, before shortly after raising her voice: “I want to triumph against Fate. I want to cut down every sin in existence”
As soon as she made her declaration, the eight arms behind the young girl’s back were completely burnt away, scattering into ash in the air before reforming as a pair of black wings behind her back.
In the sky, the striped vertical iris looked at the young girl and profoundly declared: 「 Reneedol, you possess two wings: one shall help you surpass all hardship and triumph against all enemies; the other shall help you accumulate power and become the companion of the strongest one 」
「 The stars are the manifestation of Fate; they shall decorate your wings and guide your way 」
From the void of space, a river of stars descended from above onto her wings, which gave off radiant light.
This scene was so beautiful and so divine that everyone couldn’t help but watch in awe.
As the crocodile eye observed this, its body slowly faded away.
All of the supernatural phenomena that appeared swiftly vanished.
The young girl opened her eyes again, looking around herself.
She saw the numerous pixies as well as Shroud and the others.
She walked straight to Shroud before she knelt on her knee: “I can sense it; it was you who saved me”
Shroud helped her stand up and smiled: “It’s fine, don’t take it to heart”
Their eyes met.
Shroud’s eyes were filled with warmth and joy, a bright smile on his face.
The young girl’s profoundly still eyes reflected Shroud’s joy.
“To triumph against Fate and to cut down every sin in existence; this isn’t just a joke, this is what you truly desire, yes?” Shroud asked.
“It is” the young girl answered.
Shroud looked closely at the pair of wings with countless stars behind her back, then muttered: “How great, then from today onwards, there will be a new Profession in this Reality”
“You were the one who saved me, please grant my Profession a name” the young girl lowered her head.
Shroud thought briefly, then smiled: “Then it shall be known as the Angel of Condemnation”
“Yes” the girl replied.
...
Reneedol then remained with Shroud and the rest.
Being taken care of by Shroud, she was given a cave that was connected to both of Shroud’s and Gu Qing Shan’s caves.
After they helped her settle in, it was already dark.
Everyone else had already left.
Shroud and Gu Qing Shan were also preparing to leave.
Shroud finally said: “Reneedol, this place is called the World Valley. If you are not strong enough, you would never be able to leave, so from tomorrow onwards, you will join us to learn the method to become stronger by the Elder”
“Alright” Reneedol replied.
Shroud nodded, then left the cave with Gu Qing Shan.
The two of them head back to their own places.
At this point, Gu Qing Shan wasn’t too concerned about learning more about this world and instead whispered: “Shroud, why did you insist on saving her?”
Shroud asked in return: “Then, what would you do if you were in my shoes?”
Gu Qing Shan sighed.
It was correct to save her, but this salvation ended up with countless Deities perishing in the future.
However, all of that happened later on, and who could guarantee that they were able to foresee the future?
The Earth Creator was able to, but it still ended up dead.
Lady Fusi was able to as well, but she still has to continuously exert herself for the sake of the future.
On this day, Boss saved Reneedol, but countless years later, she killed him.
Fate is truly fickle and contradictory.
“...Shroud, have you fallen for that girl?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Shroud didn’t expect him to ask such a thing, so he sincerely answered: “That’s a matter of the adults——- and from what I’ve seen, I see that even the adult men like to hang out with men, women usually aren’t their concern”
Gu Qing Shan refuted: “Hanging out is one thing, but women are a different matter”
Shroud asked: “Which matter?”
“Love—- you’re still young, you’ll understand when you grow up” Gu Qing Shan replied.
“Rhode, are you saying you understand it?”
Shroud appeared full of curiosity.
“Of course I do, not like you later——” Gu Qing Shan managed to stop himself halfway through.
Shroud suddenly scoffed: “You fraud”
“Why did you call me a fraud?” Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
Shroud replied: “I just used an investigation technique earlier and found that while you weren’t lying, you only assumed that you understood”
“...Really?” Gu Qing Shan asked in surprise.
“Really” Shroud replied.
“I don’t believe it” Gu Qing Shan insisted.
“It’s the truth. The skill doesn’t lie, you don’t actually know anything about love at all, Rhode” Shroud told him very seriously.
“...”
“It’s ok, Rhode. You’re only eight years old, it’s still very early for love”
“...Thanks”
