Chapter 725: Another One?

Heimu erased the three tags above Ti Bao's heads—Split tag, Wa junior sister tag, and brat tag.

A violet‑black strand of light shot from her fingertip, flashing cleanly and neatly over a thousand red‑haired little heads in succession, missing none.

Just as she stood beside the dome, pondering what to do next, a ding‑dong rang in her mind.

Heimu slightly furrowed her brows, raised her hand, and swiped open the System Panel.

A translucent Light Screen materialized before her; the main system interface was normal, but the column at the panel's end, which records Star Gods that have cast their gaze upon her, now displayed a new icon.

Patrol Hunt.

It was cold and sharp, as if forged in the void with an arrowhead; just reading those words conveyed an unyielding, forward‑only stubborn force.

She stared at those two characters for several seconds, then poked the icon a few times with her finger, pulled up the detailed info, and rechecked the system log, confirming it was neither a glitch nor a false alarm, nor a prank by a bored Aha hacking into her system.

After all, Aha's Fun God gaze was still properly displayed there; there was no reason for the same Fun God to occupy two slots.

It was real.

Patrol Hunt Star God Lan had just cast its gaze upon her.

Heimu's brows knit even tighter.

What's going on?

Why is there another one?

She looked at the neat row of Star God gazes—Fun God at the top, Destruction in the middle, Harmony's gaze still lingering, and now Patrol Hunt as well—and couldn't help but rub her temples.

Nice work, what's this team‑building?

Add a few more and we could hold a Star God summit.

She doesn't seem to have done anything either?

These past days she's been busy with Weng Fa Luo Si on Golden Descendant matters, neither setting off fireworks in Xianzhou nor causing trouble in Luofu, so how did she attract Patrol Hunt's attention as well?

Heimu took a deep breath and opened the communication panel with the system.

When the interface popped up, she offered no pleasantries and directly typed the issue into the dialog box.

"An extra Patrol Hunt gaze appeared on the panel—what's the matter? Where did it come from?"

The other side replied promptly.

Concise and to the point, without waste, it summarized the whole incident's background in a few tight lines: the situation concerning Qingque.

Heimu scrolled down two lines, her violet‑black eyes widening further.

Her original Task for the system was simple: create a growth‑type dream for Qingque.

After all, the Qing General's setting was indeed quite appealing.

Moreover, Luofu truly needed someone who could hold the stage; Jing Yuan's consciousness was still in Dongmu City and wouldn't return soon, so relying solely on Fu Xuan was indeed too hard.

Huan Long's whereabouts were unknown; she couldn't reach her, and even if she did, the Extinction Great Lord's temperament would likely prevent any win‑win agreement.

Thus another person who could command the scene was needed, and Qingque was the candidate she had chosen!

Consequently, she had the system set up a dream, infused with the inheritance of Great Void Sword Qi, tossed Qingque into it, and let her train and grow within the dream.

Heimu originally thought: Qingque would train inside, fight a few monsters, maybe break through one or two layers, and upon exiting her combat power would rise from a regular Diviner to a level capable of sparring a few moves with a senior Fate Walker—good enough.

In the end, Heimu read the few lines the system sent over and over, repeatedly confirming she hadn't missed a single character.

The fabricated Star God image resonated with the true Patrol Hunt fate core, the resonance frequency exceeding the preset safety threshold, triggering Star God‑level attention.

A data analysis table was attached, showing the resonance peak spiking to its highest during Qingque's reconstruction moments.

Heimu pushed the panel aside, clasped both hands to her chest, leaned against the rear column, and fell silent.

Previously, when matching fates for Ying Jie, she had also employed the fabricated Star God procedure, simulating Star God images and fate fluctuations to help Ying Jie adapt to the new Rule.

Back then no resonance occurred, let alone attracting genuine Star God gazes.

Why did it breach the threshold directly with Qingque?

One cannot claim that Qingque's Great Void Sword Qi, combined with a Shuhuo dream and a mishmash of conditions, happened to form an extraordinarily intricate coincidence that caused her to spontaneously resonate deeply with the Patrol Hunt fate itself, the resonance so strong it directly summoned the real Patrol Hunt Star God.

Heimu tapped her arm twice lightly, then reopened the panel and sent the system a meticulously phrased follow‑up: what exactly is Qingque's current state?

The system still replied within seconds, its response as succinct as always.

In short: Qingque's present condition remains within controllable limits, the dream architecture has not collapsed, her physical body in the real world continues to sleep normally inside the Star Chariot, no abnormal signs have emerged, and no large‑scale impact on the surroundings has occurred.

Regarding Qingque's current Fate Walker level—the system appended a parenthetical note: Ordinary Fate Walker (?).

Heimu's gaze fixed on that question mark, staring for a while.

Parentheses.

Question mark.

A muscle at the corner of her mouth twitched involuntarily.

What does it mean?

Is that question mark serious?

This time the system took a few extra seconds to reply, presumably sorting data.

The reply's paragraph was slightly longer, summarizing that Qingque is presently in a Schrödinger‑like intermediate state.

Her Fate Walker level oscillates between "Ordinary Fate Walker" and "Commandant", each measurement varying—sometimes soaring near the Commandant threshold, other times dropping back to ordinary.

The cause of this instability remains uncertain; it is hypothesized to relate to residual resonance with the Patrol Hunt fate core in the dream, or perhaps Qingque's own fate‑bearing capacity not yet stabilizing.

The system concluded in bold: it can be confirmed that Qingque is not a Commandant at present.

Seeing that definitive statement, Heimu finally exhaled the breath she had been holding in her chest.

Fortunately, at least that question mark was followed by neither a period nor an exclamation mark.

She leaned against the column, her violet‑black eyes gazing at the golden daylight of Yongzhou hanging over the plaza, thoughts racing rapidly.

If she truly forged a Commandant by hand, that gaze would no longer be merely an extra line on the panel—it would be a beacon lit on a universal scale, drawing every person and deity watching the Patrol Hunt fate toward its light.

By then she couldn't stay low at all; after all, she's still on Polka Kakam's hit list, and another batch of trouble would be truly overwhelming.

At that moment, footsteps came from behind.
