Why are you still standing here?\" Xu Zimo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, have you heard of the legend of the True God Sword?\" the little girl asked after a long silence, finally raising her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve heard of it,\" Xu Zimo nodded in reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Legend has it that between Heaven and Earth, a divine sword was once born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone wielded this sword to split the heavens and the earth. Eventually, he pointed the sword at the sky and ushered in a whole new era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, the sword shattered into five pieces and scattered across the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The legend, though ancient and likely exaggerated, has shown signs of truth in recent times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fragments of the divine sword have indeed resurfaced, sparking bloody conflicts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you telling me all this?\" Xu Zimo asked with a curious smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The people of the Thousand Sword Gate are after me because of the sword fragment,\" the little girl replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So what? I’m not interested in the sword, and I don’t want to get involved with the Thousand Sword Gate either,\" Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the girl's expression changed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t expected Xu Zimo to reject her so decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After another brief silence, the girl sighed and said, \"Actually, I am one of the fragments of the True God Sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought you were going to keep hiding it,\" Xu Zimo said with a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You already knew?\" the girl asked, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No. I just knew you weren’t a living being,\" Xu Zimo replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So… will you help me now?\" the girl asked tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As I said, all under Heaven bustle for profit, all push and jostle for gain,\" Xu Zimo replied. \"If you can offer me something in return, I’ll help you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am one of the five fragments of the sword. As long as I’m within a certain range, I can sense the others,\" the girl explained. \"I can help you reassemble the True God Sword.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then why don’t you help the Thousand Sword Gate instead? Why tell me this?\" Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because they don’t really want to restore the sword,\" the girl said quickly. \"They just want to capture me, melt me down, and forge me into a sword by myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then. Stay by my side,\" Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" the girl asked, surprised and delighted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s set a deadline. Three years. Help me gather all the fragments within that time. If you fail, I’ll have no choice but to melt you down too,\" Xu Zimo said plainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay,\" the girl agreed after a moment’s thought, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, the night deepened, and the faint moonlight was almost hidden behind dark clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo sat silently with his eyes closed, deep in thought. Seeing he had no intention of sending her away, the little girl curled up on a chair, resting her head on the table and fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside his body, Xu Zimo entered the River of Fate with the Primordial Chaos Bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to explore the forgotten history of the True God Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, legends are not always reliable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Legendary Era was divided into several phases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, the War God ended the Godsfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, monsters ruled the land, oppressing all living things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the Legendary Era, a strange place appeared on the continent, Flower Valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone lived there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many rumors about this person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some said he was a transformed beast, some said he was a reincarnated flower spirit, and others claimed he was a naturally born elemental spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But no one could deny that this person left behind a legend during the Desolate Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As brilliant as the sun streaking across the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparable to Grand Emperor Zhen Wu, who once brought the dawn of a prosperous era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, the flowers in Flower Valley withered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man walked out of the valley, wielding the True God Sword, and pierced the heavens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one knew how he had gained such overwhelming power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just a gardener, yet he suppressed that entire era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drove the monsters into the Blood Realm and sealed them away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From then on, the Legendary Era ended, the beast race flourished, and the unprecedented Desolate Era began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man founded the Celestial Court, ruling the Desolate Era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But one day, he suddenly vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His weapon, the True God Sword, shattered into several fragments scattered across the continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Celestial Court he built sealed itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, the world was left with a legend: Whoever gathers all the fragments of the True God Sword can unlock the Celestial Court and inherit the legacy of the True God, becoming the pioneer of a new era.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo awoke from the River of Fate and slowly exhaled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up and saw the little girl fast asleep at the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He got out of bed and quietly opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was already dawn, the first light of day breaking over the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Downstairs, the innkeeper was wiping the tables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did anyone come by last night?\" Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir,\" the innkeeper quickly replied, \"disciples from the Thousand Sword Gate came by to search the place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They didn’t check my room?\" Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, they told me to treat you well,\" the innkeeper replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Zimo nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked the innkeeper to prepare breakfast. By morning, the little girl had also awakened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s your name?\" Xu Zimo asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bluesoul,\" the girl answered while drinking her porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a large group of Thousand Sword Gate disciples burst in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leading them was Qian Renchi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, that’s her,\" one of the disciples said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Renchi frowned slightly. When he saw Xu Zimo sitting nearby, his expression changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this Brother Xu? What a coincidence,\" Xu Zimo said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you eaten?

Why? Is there a problem?\" Xu Zimo frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, not at all. Just passing by,\" Qian Renchi said quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then don’t disturb my meal,\" Xu Zimo said casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of his hand, Qian Renchi led all the disciples out of the inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching this, Bluesoul finally let out a breath of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you,\" she whispered to Xu Zimo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, you have only three years.
