Chapter 188: Surprise? No, It Was All According to Plan

Arcadia's base of operations.

Located next to Leticia's room, which is to say, inside Su Nian's bedroom.

Su Nian's figure was rapidly outlined within the void, and he soon appeared in the room.

He took a brief look at the neatly tidied room next door, then turned his head to gaze at the bright sunlight outside the window.

Having returned from the Strike the Blood world, Su Nian could not help but let out a long sigh.

"How many days have passed in Little Garden?"

Su Nian had stayed in the Strike the Blood world for about a month, though the latter half of that month was spent in the Prison Barrier's laboratory.

【The time flow in Little Garden is roughly similar to that of the Strike the Blood world; it is now the morning, seven days after you left Little Garden.】

The time was not long, and seven days was just right—neither too long nor too short; the turmoil from the matters he had stirred up before leaving had mostly subsided, yet he had not been forgotten.

Thinking of this, Su Nian could not help but reveal a smile and asked the Little Garden Central Hub again.

"Can the difference in time flow between different worlds be adjusted?"

【It can be adjusted, because unobserved worlds and Little Garden are not, in fact, on the same timeline. After consuming a certain amount of Merit, or marking a specific space-time, you can freely determine the time span of your return.】

"All in all, it still requires consuming Merit."

Su Nian's mouth twitched involuntarily; he always felt that Merit was never enough to spend, as it seemed to be needed everywhere.

As for the latter part about marking space-time, Su Nian ignored it directly; anchoring a fixed point in time was far more high-end than anchoring space or worlds.

It was definitely not something he could touch right now.

While Su Nian was complaining, the Little Garden Central Hub also began its own professional work, re-observing Su Nian's Spirit Status and experiences.

Of course, the content observed had certainly been polished by Su Nian, this Fictional Historian.

Otherwise, how else could he swindle Merit?

Not to mention that this time he intended to get a free upgrade from the Little Garden Central Hub; he had brought back all twelve of his Familiars at once.

Whether he could establish a connection with the Zodiac and get a free inheritance of a Sun Authority would depend on this observation by the Little Garden Central Hub.

One must know that the dominion over the twelve constellations was categorized under the Sun Authority.

Thinking of this, Su Nian temporarily suppressed his excitement and waited quietly for the Little Garden Central Hub's observation.

Hum--

A faint, imperceptible humming sound arose. Su Nian only felt the trace of a pillar of heaven that reached the sky appear within his eyes, and immediately after, everything returned to normal.

【Judgment: It is a Symbiotic Gift, possessing the possibility of growth.】

【Second judgment: It has a corresponding inheritance relationship with the Zodiac.】

【Third judgment: It... it has a record of world-saving Merit...】

【Fourth judgment: It is a weapon of salvation created by the gods.】

Looking at this long line of judgment data from the Little Garden Central Hub, Su Nian felt a sense of relief in his heart.

"As expected, the Fictional Historian is forever the god, and so is the Little Garden Central Hub."

Trying to "touch porcelain" with the Sun Authority was not that easy; it was not as if you could just say you had a connection to the twelve constellations and the Little Garden Central Hub would judge you as having a connection to the Sun Authority.

The judgment conditions of the Little Garden Central Hub were not that loose; at the very least, one needed the recognition of Pan-Human History brought about by the consent of a God Group.

At the very least, one had to occupy an extremely special position within the world to be able to establish a connection with the Sun Authority.

For example, being the strongest salvation weapon created by the gods; because the gods agreed, it meant that the Little Garden Central Hub also recognized it.

Although this agreement was one Su Nian had helped them "agree" to himself, it didn't matter; get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, a small matter.

Su Nian believed the gods would not mind.

Of course, this certainly could not lack the support from the Little Garden Central Hub; this wave was a confrontation between artificial intelligence and programming.

It ended with the will of the Little Garden Central Hub bypassing the judgment of the Little Garden Central Hub's own program as a victory.

In essence, it still utilized the fact that the Little Garden Central Hub did not have the Strike the Blood world as a concrete source of information and had no clear understanding of all the possibilities of the Familiars.

As for whether the Little Garden Central Hub really lacked a concrete source of information?

Who knows? In any case, the Little Garden Central Hub's rule judgment had passed.

Of course, this certainly could not lack the great achievements established by the gods when they were writing the programs for the Little Garden Central Hub.

The more complex a program, the more loopholes it leaves behind, let alone the Little Garden Central Hub program, which was compiled by who knows how many thousands of Gods and Buddhas together.

With thousands of programmers writing code together, one should be grateful it even runs, let alone worry about mere loopholes.

Not to mention that these loopholes might even be backdoors intentionally left by certain Gods and Buddhas.

Finally, after a series of internal and external coordination, and after the Little Garden Central Hub crashed for a few seconds, the judgment result for the Familiars finally came out.

【Symbiotic Gift: Familiar】

【Spirits created by the joint efforts of the gods, holding the star inheritance of the Zodiac, bearing the vast majority of the curses and all other negative things of a certain world.】

【Evaluation: Four-digit (Elite), special Symbiotic Gift.】

Seeing this scene, Su Nian finally could not suppress his smile and laughed out loud.

"It really succeeded; now I should be able to call myself a qualified Summoner, right?"

Twelve Familiars that had reached the level of ordinary Four-digit; no matter which God Group it was, this was a force that could not be ignored.

Even if Su Nian were willing, he could completely construct a worldview together with Leticia and build a small God Group consisting only of vampires.

"And to be involved with the Sun Authority, this is just a bit too awesome."

Su Nian said with a hint of sourness in his tone.

"Just by being involved, the upper limit of the Spirit Status has directly reached the level of Four-digit Elite."

"The Familiars just need to complete the powers corresponding to the inheritance they obtained."

"And when I obtain the corresponding Sun Authority, the corresponding Familiars could even become Four-digit Legendary, or even Four-Digit Exceptional combat power in one step."

"It is not impossible for them to even rival the star beasts of Shiroyasha."

Because the Sun Authority is originally Shiroyasha's own possession, in Shiroyasha's hands, the Sun Authority can fully unleash power beyond imagination.

In the upper levels, Shiroyasha can use the Sun Authority to summon Three-digit star beasts, while in the lower levels, besides being a Four-Digit Exceptional herself.

As long as she is willing, she can also summon Four-Digit Exceptional level star beasts.

It is just that Shiroyasha's influence in this state is even more outrageous than that of Greece; fifteen Four-Digit Exceptionals—whoever uses them knows.

Therefore, the gods jointly prohibited Shiroyasha from summoning too many or too powerful star beasts at once, capping the limit at the Four-digit Legendary level.

In the lower levels, a Four-Digit Exceptional already has the power to shake the situation of the lower levels, so the gods will not open this loophole.

Thinking of this, Su Nian said with a hint of satisfaction.

"Twelve Four-digit Legendaries in an ideal state? That's satisfying enough."

And at this very moment, in the void, a black fan swept across and—*slap*—hit Su Nian on the head.

Immediately following was a youthful female voice filled with laughter.

"Twelve Four-digit Legendaries? You really dare to think."

Su Nian stood there, hands in his pockets, whistling nonchalantly as if nothing had happened.

And at this time, Shiroyasha, who had projected her power from afar, immediately laughed and scolded.

"Aren't you afraid of being stuffed to death? Being able to have even a slight connection to the Sun Authority is enough for you to be happy."

Twelve Four-digits? Although they are only the most ordinary, roughly Four-digit gatekeeper level.

But this is also a combat force that Arcadia begged and pleaded for in the past but could not obtain; in a sense, the Arcadia that Su Nian leads at this moment is no weaker than the Arcadia at its peak.

Just this? And you're still not satisfied.

"Forget it, I've suppressed this matter for you, but most likely the reward from the Heavenly Army that I went to great lengths to ask for you is probably gone."

Shiroyasha sighed and said; what could she do? After all, this is the little brother she thinks most highly of.

When a little brother causes trouble, the one acting as the boss naturally has to clean up the mess, not to mention that Su Nian isn't even causing trouble at all right now.

Who causes trouble and ends up with twelve Four-digits?

Even those large God Groups, if they suddenly had twelve more Four-digits one day, they would probably laugh out loud on the spot.

Not to mention that these twelve Four-digits also have a certain ability to grow; as long as the corresponding Sovereignty is woven, they can become Four-digit Elites.

On the stage of Little Garden, Four-digit Elites are the ones who perform on stage.

"Remember to submit a report tomorrow to give an explanation to the upper levels and the Heavenly Army; this matter can more or less be put behind us."

After Shiroyasha finished nagging this sentence, she canceled the projection of her will, clearly telling Su Nian that she had shouldered this matter.

"A report? Should I leave it to Leticia?"

Su Nian made the decision quite happily, and then Su Nian summoned Agulora and the others.

For a moment, the rainbow light reflected by the golden hair illuminated the entire room.

For a moment, the room was filled with golden hair fluttering like a brilliant rainbow.

Twelve young golden-haired vampires—ah no, to be precise, Blood Clan members—wearing different styles of clothing appeared in the room.

"Girls, are you ready to go and meet your mother?"

Su Nian clapped his hands, signaling the Vessels to look over.

The Vessels nodded in unison and said in one voice.

"We are ready."

"Calculating the time, Leticia should be coming soon, right?"

Su Nian looked at the sky outside; it was usually around this time that Leticia would come to wake him up.

Sure enough, just as Su Nian finished speaking, the sound of the door opening rang out.

Leticia, wearing a blue and white maid outfit, walked in carrying cleaning tools.

But the moment Leticia walked in.

The voices of the twelve Vessels rang out in unison.

"Mother Leticia, greetings."

Leticia looked at this group of young vampires calling her mother and showed a bewildered expression for the first time.

Especially when she felt that they unexpectedly had a blood connection with her, Leticia felt her head spinning.

Her head felt itchy, like the feeling of growing a brain.

"Master, what exactly is going on here?"

"What else could be going on? These are naturally your daughters."

Su Nian couldn't help but curl his lips into a wicked smile as he said this.

*Thump! *

Leticia's figure went limp, and she fell directly into Su Nian's arms.
