Selecting Heroic Soul Handler…】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to Laina’s efforts, “e3 (Festrión),” who theoretically could never be selected, entered the special “Divine Pool,” and Li En “happened” to draw him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, no need for “happenstance” anymore—by this point, the pseudo-random pattern is clearly confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Heroic Soul Catalog v2, after all, is meant to cultivate new Awakeners, and since it possesses the trait of glimpsing fate, it can naturally “predict” to some degree which candidate will best aid the Awakener.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the absence of special interference, Li En’s every draw would be a “god draw,” always selecting someone who could help him in some way—whether he messed it up or not is another matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Good or bad, it would always be the one with the greatest fate fluctuation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li En would never have imagined that when e3, who should never have been selectable, was placed into the dedicated Divine Pool, he would naturally draw him due to his “extremely high cost-effectiveness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this single draw instantly caused a massive problem—a problem large enough to affect the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【v1’s auxiliary system e3 offline error-correction system activated. Heroic Warrior Summon! Candidate confirmed: y21, x115.

Has it reached the point of threatening world destruction? Is something wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the shadows, the world’s guardians—the organization known as “Gate,” whom many ancients regarded as destroyers of the world—were also stunned by the arrival of the Heroic Souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, their arrival meant things had become irrecoverable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like two parties had just started arguing, and bystanders were wondering if they’d even fight—when suddenly one side threw a nuclear weapon and deployed extinction-level biological weapons. It made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normal racial wars or even massacres could never activate these “world guardians.” Only massive crises involving the extinction of intelligent life (beyond ethnic genocide) or world destruction would summon these “Sleepers” back to the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were rarely used, but every time, it was a major event. No one casually launched ICBMs at someone’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the northwestern continent? Investigate. Find out what happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many ancients followed the meteor trails toward the northwestern continent—but even if they passed through Huicheng, they would ignore this “peaceful little city.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the first Throne of Heroic Soul landed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It—or rather, she—landed in the icy lands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cobalt-blue crystalline carrier began to disintegrate; energy-rich matter constructed new limbs for the Heroic Soul, and the ancient hero returned from history to the mortal realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue woman slowly rose, crystals gradually transforming into her flesh, clothing—a lavish robe adorned with faint golden glimmers from her necklace, bracelets, and earrings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her crystal-like skin turned snow-white again; when she opened her eyes, her blood-red irises held a flicker of confusion. She, perhaps, was unaccustomed to awakening outside the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced around—only polar bears and penguins, and hurriedly darting huskies and winter wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So… who was she supposed to kill? Snow dogs?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She waved her hand, summoning a light screen. One glance, and her beautiful face twisted in displeasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They’re sending warriors to fix bugs? Wake up other logistical Heroic Souls—that’s their job.” It seemed she was communicating with something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She seemed irritated—this wasn’t her job. She only knew how to kill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? I can punish him however I want? Fine, I’ll do it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blue-haired Heroic Soul instantly perked up—finally, she could beat that man properly again. How satisfying! Especially when he was still immature—she could play with him however she pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Old bastard, scumbag. Li Ensu! Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>",833,"2026-06-19T21:45:42.084Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","04161d8cd82f960d590fb6b2c87d9074dc19c2030a15294444d5fa79fd6c0b99","the-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-chapter-306","the-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-chapter-304",362,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-of-a-thousand-faces-cover.jpg"]
