Chapter 1313

"What's going on?" Shijima Setsuna felt her mind had turned to mush.

Why had the figure from the painting appeared in reality!

Why had she died and come back to life!

All of this left her utterly confused, as if reality itself had become bizarre.

"This matter is complicated—let Altair explain it to you," Hu Yifei smiled. "As for me, I won't disturb further."

"Eh?" General Ji blinked. "I haven't even properly thanked Sister Yifei yet!"

"Thank you can wait—it's plenty of time!" Hu Yifei chuckled, already vanished from the room.

General Ji and Shijima Setsuna watched Hu Yifei depart, then turned to each other.

General Ji said softly, "What does Setsuna want to know?"

"I want to know why I came back to life!"

"And what about you!"

General Ji nodded, and began from the moment of Shijima Setsuna's death.

Moments passed.

"So you're saying you gained the Power of Recognition, and came from the illusory world into reality?"

"Mm."

"And you joined a chat group connecting all realms?"

"Mm."

"This is unbelievable—isn't this just a light novel trope?" Shijima Setsuna gasped. "How did it show up in reality?"

"That's not important!" General Ji shook her head. "The key is, Setsuna, you've been revived—my goal has been achieved."

Shijima Setsuna nodded gently.

She had suddenly come back to life and witnessed something utterly absurd—she needed time to process.

After a while, she suddenly said, "By the way, I was already dead. Now that I'm revived, don't I have no identity?"

General Ji froze. "That's easy—I'll find a government official and have them restore your identity."

"No," Shijima Setsuna shook her head. "If I do that, I'll never have peace again."

General Ji frowned.

She could traverse between illusion and reality—she feared no force in the world.

But Shijima Setsuna was merely an ordinary human—if exposed, she'd be in danger.

"What should we do?" General Ji's mind raced. "Ah—there are cultivation techniques and elixirs!"

With a thought, she entered the illusory world again, returning to the Divine Void Grotto.

Moments passed.

She returned with a celestial scripture and an elixir, giving them to Shijima Setsuna.

"Setsuna, cultivate. This is a technique created by a Dao Lord in the group. Once you master it, nothing in this world can threaten you."

Shijima Setsuna hesitated, then accepted the scripture and elixir.

After pondering for a while, she frowned. "I can't understand a single word!"

"Can't understand?" General Ji looked equally baffled. "How is that possible?"

She took the scripture, flipped through it carefully—every character she recognized, yet the sentences made no sense whatsoever—utter nonsense.

"How could this happen!"

She took the elixir, swallowed it—and felt not a trace of energy.

"What's going on? Is this the only effect of the Great Luo?"

"Can a Great Luo cultivator have such an impact?"

General Ji was stunned.

Shijima Setsuna was confused.

General Ji said, "Someone in the group mentioned it before—Great Luo Golden Immortals are the sole existence in all realms. Perhaps their very presence makes their techniques unique. Unless they transmit them, no one else can learn them."

"..."

.............. Requesting flowers..........

Shijima Setsuna widened her eyes. "That powerful?"

"Mm," General Ji nodded. "Before, Sister Yifei was merely a Jin Xian. Yet she could bring the dead back to life."

Shijima Setsuna said, "Then I won't cultivate. If I just stay home, I won't have any problems."

General Ji shook her head. "No. I'll borrow some points from everyone."

She opened the chat group.

General Ji: "I just went to the illusory world and got a technique created by a Dao Lord—it didn't work. What's going on?"

Su Xiao: "Wow, you're also stealing from Brother Taixuan? Guess we're family!"

Xiao Mai: "You're still as cheeky! Watch out—Brother Taixuan might come over and pose you in all sorts of ways!"

Su Xiao: "Come on then, who's afraid of whom!"

Ye Hei: "Stop—it's giving me images. Too eye-searing."

Su Xiao: "Ye Hei, you're being too mean."

Hu Yifei: "Can't the illusory world's techniques be used? Have you tried others from different illusory worlds?"

General Ji: "I'll try."

General Ji: "Still doesn't work. What's going on?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Because fake is fake! No matter how real the illusory world seems, its contents are built on two dimensions—they're illusions, useless to three-dimensional beings."

This is a gap in essence.

Su Xiao: "Is it because they're products of a fictional world? Then what about weapons and the magic of magical girls—why can they be used in the real world?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Magic can be used, but it consumes Recognition Power, not magic power. Everything is built upon Recognition Power. One could say that whether it's the magical girls—

or the knights—their supernatural abilities in the real world all depend on the existence of that fictional world. Once the Recognition Power of that work vanishes, then—

... whether it's the magical girls or their magic, they cease to exist."

Su Xiao: "I thought I could use the Myriad Phenomena to pull out many supernatural figures and build a supernatural world! I didn't expect it's impossible—that everything from a fictional world cannot be made real?"

Real?"】
