Main Character:

Shen Yao

"Already investigated clearly, five problem spots in total. If resolved simultaneously, it can reduce the vast majority of the pressure we carry."

Shen Yao pointed out the problematic locations by hand, then assigned people to take charge. The largest one was definitely handled by Shen Yao personally; the remaining two were given to the Patrollers, and two were assigned to Fang Li and Shen Liu Nian respectively.

Unexpectedly, Fang Li was still activated after the fallout; this made the other people in the room quite emotional.

'Emotional? Judging a gentleman's heart with a petty person's mind.'

Shen Yao sneered at this; she arranged all problematic people within the Investigation Bureau into her own team, not even sparing the Patrollers' side.

Fang Li's side was absolutely safe, because she still needed Fang Li to cooperate with the acting.

As for her daughter Shen Liu Nian, she had an even more important matter to attend to.

"I stay behind? Mom, then who do you want to entrust this matter to?"

Shen Liu Nian blinked, not understanding how her private mission had changed again.

Shen Yao smiled and rubbed Shen Liu Nian's head, "Your cultivation realm is the highest; staying behind can protect Chen Xi. A stable rear area is very important to us."

Shen Chen Xi has already turned eighteen; the array laid on her in early years is about to lose effect.

"To thoroughly suppress the Magic Qi Invasion, we must accelerate the speed of Spiritual Qi Revival."

And the key to boosting Spiritual Qi Revival lies on Shen Chen Xi.

This is the capability bestowed upon Shen Chen Xi by the World Consciousness, and it is also the ultimate purpose of this trip of theirs.

What awaits after solving the enemies is not universal joy, but a comeback.

To thoroughly suppress Magic Qi, the entire planet must be filled with Spiritual Qi, letting everyone cultivate, and rely on absolute strength to crush the Magic Qi's invasion.

Shen Liu Nian, hearing her birth mom's words, suddenly realized her birth mom's trip out this time likely carried the meaning of using herself as bait.

Her eyes unconsciously revealed worried emotion; especially with the outside being a mess, she was someone who had fought on the front lines, and knew the situation best.

"Not afraid. This matter, only if I go handle it can it possibly go smoothly. You stay behind, protect Chen Xi well."

Shen Yao didn't say anything about waiting for her return; some things, if said too much, become hard to make people believe.

Furthermore, Shen Yao didn't want to conceal things from the three children at home in this regard.

Born with knowledge, Shen Liu Nian and the other two were completely different from ordinary children.

Even if Shen Yao truly left just like that, she wouldn't let things spiral out of control.

At most, they would immerse in sadness and slowly recover for a period of time; once they walked out of it, it would be over.

Shen Liu Nian pursed her lips, "Mom, do Dad and them know about this matter?"

Shen Yao smiled, "Haven't had the chance to say yet, but the Investigation Bureau and Patrollers are internally connected."

The news has definitely spread. Regarding Xi Chen, Shen Yao sighed, "Liu Nian, from childhood to now you've never given Mom excessive worry; this matter might have to trouble you."

Shen Liu Nian didn't understand; this wasn't Shen Yao's responsibility, why did Shen Yao have to choose to shoulder it.

Hand placed on Shen Liu Nian's shoulder, Shen Yao signaled her not to panic too much.

"You are still children; some matters are originally ours to resolve; it's just that before, we never encountered a suitable opportunity."

Otherwise, truly letting Shen Yao watch helplessly as the three children fought a life-and-death battle with the other side, she could accept even less.

"This world faces many crises, not just this one matter; there are other follow-up problems needing handling.

Liu Nian, some responsibilities, every one of us should shoulder."

This isn't one person's matter; it's everyone's matter.

After finishing talks with Shen Liu Nian, Shen Yao instructed Shen Luo Sheng and Shen Chen Xi in turn.

Shen Luo Sheng thought more simply; however Shen Yao said, he would do it, not pondering at all.

Shen Chen Xi's mind was sensitive and delicate; like Shen Liu Nian, she realized the situation was wrong.

However Shen Yao explained to Shen Liu Nian, that was how she conversed with Shen Chen Xi.

In the end, Shen Chen Xi still chose to accept, and guaranteed that staying behind, she would definitely do well what she ought to do.

The Jade Pendant was handed by Shen Yao into Shen Chen Xi's hands, "This shares the same origin as the array on your body."

Previously all kept by Shen Yao; now it should also return to its original owner, controlled by Shen Chen Xi.

"Mom"

Shen Chen Xi lowered her head, somewhat sad, unable to say clearly exactly why.

Perhaps both reasons exist.

……

Parting has always been a relatively sad topic; Shen Yao in earlier years was unwilling to speak of it, but after experiencing so many worlds' trials, she can be considered able to accept it calmly.

"So, is it absolutely necessary to go?"

Xi Chen finished his own matters and hurried back, also to wait for Xi Chen. Likewise, Shen Yao also wanted to make her arrangements even tighter and more reasonable; the two people by a twist of fate saw each other for the last time.

Xi Chen isn't a child; the two people afterwards were basically also more apart than together.

Feelings between both sides exist, but not as intensely inseparable as imagined.

"I am the Investigation Bureau Chief; if I don't go for this matter, how can others be convinced."

Years of effort; Xi Chen long ago was no longer an insignificant transparent figure among the Patrollers.

He had already climbed to the top layer of the Patrollers; the Patrollers' corresponding insider info had long been disclosed to him.

"The children are still young; if something happens to you, how should they live?"

Xi Chen spoke in a low tone; one could hear he wanted to persuade Shen Yao to stay.

"Liu Nian and the others are not young anymore; besides, Chenxi has already turned eighteen."

"There are some things that, if I don't do them, can only be left for Liu Nian and the others to do."

For parents toward their born children, what they are more willing to sacrifice is still themselves.

Shen Yao spoke so much with the System, but what she cared about most was still the three children.

The title of Savior sounds very impressive, but this requires sacrifice.

Shen Yao and Xi Chen looked at each other, and in the end, neither of them dwelled on this matter.

Xi Chen knew Shen Yao would not change her mind; Shen Yao knew Xi Chen would eventually nod in agreement.

This pair who had been husband and wife for several decades still had quite a say when it came to tacit understanding.

"Will I be able to see you again?" Xi Chen asked the topic he was most worried about.

Shen Yao smiled faintly, neither answering yes nor answering no.

The heart Xi Chen had lifted slowly fell, and the light in his eyes also became dead silent.

His face revealed a bitter smile; Xi Chen sighed that he still thought too much, "You, pay more attention to your own safety; when the time comes, I won't be by your side."

He was one of the Persons in Charge in different places resolved simultaneously with Shen Yao.

Perhaps from the moment this arrangement came down, the two of them were destined to have no future.

"Host, Xi Chen is very good; why must you leave early?"

The System's soft-hearted bad habit has always existed; see, unable to stay idle, it jumped out again.

Shen Yao returned to the room, looking at the room's layout; the person sat on the sofa spacing out, "Words already spoken, I will not explain further.

System, what you need to do is to confirm the next Task World for me in advance."

Closing her eyes, blocking out the System's interference, Shen Yao knew she was not as calm as imagined. Some words spoken out and kept in the heart are two different situations; Xi Chen choosing to showdown with her at the end was also disappointment, right.

……

On the day of departure, Shen Yao and Xi Chen looked at each other without words; the words the couple could say had long been finished; right now it was merely maintaining face and affection.

Nodding, Shen Yao and Fang Li looked at each other and then led people away hurriedly.

Rushing on the road all the way, Shen Yao did not utter a word, until the destination appeared.

Facing the Magic Beasts constantly surging in, Shen Yao kept a cold, solemn face, "Engage the enemy!"

Everyone swarmed up, various Magic Techniques dancing across the sky.

Shen Yao charged at the very front; the sharp blade in her hand and the vines beneath her feet became a meat grinder for the entire Battlefield.

One by one, hidden transparent stones fell to the Ground, undiscovered by anyone.

Shen Yao killed all the way, slashing all the way, until everyone arrived at the destination of this trip.

"It is right here."

A huge Black Hole manifested in mid-air; inside, Magic Beasts surged out continuously.

"Seal this place, dispel the Magic Qi."

Shen Yao left a sentence, and the person had already flown out to battle the surrounding Magic Cultivators in a melee.

This battle, Shen Yao and the others fought for three days and three nights; the other four places were also sealed smoothly one after another.

Puff—

Another person fell from the sky to the ground, turning their head to spit out a mouthful of Black Blood.

"Bureau Chief Shen, attacking without success, we cannot delay any longer."

Someone spoke up to persuade Shen Yao to preserve the Green Mountains, so as not to worry about no firewood to burn.

It's not that we must stubbornly collide head-on with them; we can go back and deal with the enemy slowly.

For the sake of putting on a full show, Shen Yao had almost run out of ammunition and food.

"If we retreat, it is giving them an opportunity; the Reality World cannot withstand one trial after another, again and again.

Back when the Strange Instance lost control and the Magic Qi Invasion accelerated, that was the best example.

Or does everyone feel that becoming a Magic Cultivator is very good, much happier than being human."

Shen Yao countered with a question, stirring up a huge uproar.

Benefiting from the fact that the people she brought out all had their own schemes, Shen Yao was in a state of being enemies both inside and out.

She held the Sword with one hand, her gaze coldly looking at the crowd lying all over the ground.

"It is already this time, there is no need to pretend anymore; is today's calamity for humanity not precisely because you are greedy and insatiable?"

As her words fell, what Shen Yao faced was not refutation but another round of intense offensive.

Shen Yao: ……

Shen Yao could only sigh that these Magic Cultivators had poor temperament; she merely said a few words, yet they lost composure so badly; being schemed by her was also justified.

……

"Quick, look, what is that?!"

Fang Li sat on the ground panting roughly; solving this Magic Qi entrance was truly not easy; their side had also paid a huge price.

Following a sound exploding beside his ear, Fang Li raised his head and saw a dazzling golden light suddenly erupt in the distance.

The golden light was brilliant, as if wanting to completely extinguish the spreading Magic Qi.

On the ground not yet cleaned up, Xiguang Liuming Flowers bloomed one by one.

Petals gorgeous as light, making everyone unconsciously close their eyes.

Injuries on their bodies slowly healed; the Magic Qi eroding their bodies was dispelled completely.

"That direction is where Bureau Chief Shen and them are."

Someone spoke out the problem within, also letting Fang Li's heart slowly sink down.

In the end, but this should be good news; Shen Yao is still alive.

Everyone carried the hint that Shen Yao was still alive—a kind lie from the World Consciousness, and the final cooperation between Shen Yao and the World Consciousness.
