This world, shadows quietly enveloped it, and unseen horrors spread among the populace.
The world seemed to be falling into an abyss.
Fang You, who could only stay home to survive, obta...
In Rose College, in the dean's office filled with the scent of flowers, Dean Rose has her eyes closed, as if she is carefully experiencing something.
Not far away, Dean Jian had a serious look on his face, and Dean Zhan Ge was pacing back and forth.
To be fair, Dean Zhan Ge did not want Rose to sign this contract, even though, judging from the content revealed in the contract document, this contract was quite "reasonable" and not some terrible contract that would sell one's soul.
But even so, signing the contract still carries risks, and from then on they are bound... This is not the same as being affiliated with a superpower. In addition to paying tribute and obeying the orders of the suzerain country on major matters, those who are affiliated with the Super Oasis still have great autonomy at other times.
However, Dean Zhan Ge also knew that in the perilous world, people didn't have much choice. From ordinary civilians to Sixth Sense experts like them, everyone had to work hard to survive. If they couldn't seize the opportunity today, when the next disaster that affected the entire region came, they might not be lucky enough to survive in Jianhua City.
They must try this opportunity, and Dean Rose is the most suitable candidate.
As he thought about it, he looked at Rose steadily, his gaze lingering on her face which had few wrinkles but was still beautiful.
quite a while,
The graceful and elegant dean opened his eyes, and they saw shock in his eyes.
"How about it?"
...
...
Dean Zhan Ge asked impatiently.
Dean Rose, who had already stepped half a foot into the new world, was still a little dazed. After a while, she spoke, "It's... very incredible! If this is a bet, then we definitely won. This is a great opportunity for our Sword Flower City!"
But due to the restrictions of the contract, Dean Rose had very little to say, and it was as good as not saying anything.
But she seemed very excited and excited, as if she had regained her second spring and had endless energy. Dean Zhan Ge and Dean Jian Zhi were a little confused and worried when they saw this.
"Isn't this contract a contract with the Burning Chamber of Commerce?" asked Dean Jian.
After a brief thought, Rose replied, "No, we can only say that there is some connection, but if Falling Star City wants to compete with the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce for the position of regional hegemony, then we must definitely stand on the side of the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce."
Wait, Rose, did you get the order wrong?
The current overlord of the Falling Star Domain is the old super oasis 'Falling Star City', and the Burning Fire Chamber of Commerce is the new challenger, right? Why does it seem that the Falling Star City is not worth mentioning in your mouth?
Looking at Rose's strange expression that seemed to indicate 'you don't understand', 'you have no idea what I saw', and 'I know everything but I can't tell you', the two deans looked at each other and slowly typed a question mark.
Rose... won't go bad, right?
They were worried, but Dean Rose said that after a while, she would come up with "evidence" that would be enough to convince them, and the two deans left one after another.
Soon, only Dean Rose and Madison were left in the office. Dean Rose had a lot to say, and now she could finally speak it out.
"Little Metissa, you have done a great deed this time. Can you get one or two more contracts...membership certificates?"
Metissa thought for a while and shook her head.
"There is no such contract document in the exchange list. You need to apply for it, and when applying, you must fill in the identity information of the 'inviter'. In other words, if Deans Jian and Zhan Ge pressed the contract document just now, it would not have any effect.
"When applying, it was stated that, in principle, a large oasis force can only apply for one additional membership certificate."
Dean Rose heard this and sighed, "This way, we can't let Old Man Jian and Zhan Ge enter the new world. It's a pity that many words that would shock them for ten thousand years can't be said. Oh, how boring~"
Metissa: “???”
She couldn't continue with this topic, so she could only continue, "Oh, by the way, when I applied, it was stated that members must undergo a period of assessment. If it weren't for the fact that our Sword Flower City had cooperated with Blue Star a long time ago, and if you, the dean, hadn't already been in Blue Star's sight, I'm afraid this contract certificate wouldn't have been so easy to come by."
"Blue Star?"
Dean Rose tapped Metissa's forehead, shook her head and laughed, then told her her conjecture. If she could meet with Master Eluxta, she would find that their conjectures were not too different, but not too different.
After all, they are different from young people like Metissa. They have more experience and knowledge, and can see better how unfathomable the organization is!
After saying this, she looked at the extremely shocked and enlightened little Metissa and chuckled.
"These are just guesses. Although they are almost certain, since the organization has not made it clear to us, you should just pretend that you know nothing and just stay the same as before."
Dean Rose waved her hand and said, "You can take care of your own business. I, the Dean, will also be in seclusion for a while. Maybe I will have a chance to see a higher view."
She had heard about the "Great Power of Awakening" from Metissa. She was not so naive as to think that she could easily break through with the great power granted by the organization, but at least she had the possibility of trying.
Even if the breakthrough fails, you can still be safe and sound, and even get rid of some of the filth that is entangled with you.
And this is enough as "evidence" to convince Old Man Jian and Zhan Ge.
This is what Dean Rose plans to do.
"Time is running out. I need to significantly reduce the filth in my body within this month."
…
Time is like water, passing quietly.
The post-disaster repair work is in full swing in the City of Sword Flowers. The awakened ones are clearing mountains, breaking rocks, flying in the air, and looking quite busy.
Dean Jian and Dean Zhan Ge are also very busy. They are busy paying attention to Rose's situation.
But since Rose went into seclusion 20 days ago, there has been no news. She said she was in seclusion, and when she came out, they would understand everything.
But the two deans still didn't understand and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
They were preparing for both situations. One was naturally the Falling Star City Summit, and the other was trying every possible way to collect information about the Burning Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, their Sword Flower City was only a large oasis-level force, and all they could find out was superficial intelligence about the Burning Chamber of Commerce.
In their eyes, the Burning Chamber of Commerce is a super oasis force with two legends in charge.
As for the third myth, extraordinary combat power, etc., they had no way to learn about these. They could only send elites to guard the Burning Mall and collect information bit by bit.
As time approaches, seeing that the deadline for the Falling Star Summit is not far away, Dean Zhan Ge is becoming increasingly anxious.
"Is Rose okay?"
"Besides, the Falling Star Summit will be held in ten days. Taking into account the distance, we have to set off the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Dean Zhan Ge was pacing back and forth in front of Rose's retreat place. Next to him was Dean Jian, who was pulled over by him and had a helpless look on his face.
He sent Rose many messages, but Rose didn't reply.
It was impossible to rush in. The retreat place was the most private residence of a strong man. It was much more important than the dean's office. There were many defensive and barrier rituals arranged outside. Moreover, the retreat must not be disturbed. Dean Zhan Ge also understood this.
But no matter how clear his mind was, he was still anxious.
Dean Zhan Ge continued to pace. In this small garden decorated with many colorful flowers, he walked back and forth at least tens of thousands of steps. The anxiety in his heart not only did not ease, but became more intense, and there seemed to be a vague ominous premonition.
It was as if the distance between Rose and him suddenly widened.
Nothing really happened, did it?
Dean Zhan Ge gradually began to have wild thoughts, but suddenly he turned his head and stared straight at the retreat place hidden in the garden not far away.
The one who turned his head faster and more violently than him was Dean Sword.
The tall, white-bearded old man was also staring straight ahead, his hand stroking his beard trembling slightly.
“This, this is…”
Not far from them, underground, there was a faint aura slowly rising, which seemed to have been severely weakened by the barrier rituals, but was still able to shock the soul and make people shudder.
Like a rising sun;
It is like a magnificent sea of flowers with thousands of flowers blooming at the same time;
It seemed as if a tall and majestic figure was slowly walking out from an underground retreat not far away.
“Could this be…”
"Impossible?!"
The two were surprised, horrified, and terrified! In addition to being shocked, they also doubted whether it was their illusion. After all, how could it be possible! Rose and the others had known each other for decades, even if it was a miracle...
Perhaps because there were many rituals set up around the retreat area, the rising breath was quickly isolated.
The two deans looked at each other. Now they couldn't leave. Dean Jianzhi also became like Dean Zhan Ge, pacing back and forth in this small garden.
However, compared with their previous anxiety and eagerness, they now felt a deeper sense of confusion and fear.
They waited and waited, and waited for most of the day. The sun high above their heads had already set, and scattered stars hung in the night sky.
The two deans were not impatient; they just felt that time was passing too slowly. This half day seemed as long as half a year.
finally,
“Huahua——”
In the distance, lush flowers danced colorfully and slowly moved to both sides, revealing a passage surrounded by flowers.
A graceful, noble and elegant figure walked out from inside.
The two deans were very familiar with this figure. Her long dress was decorated with complicated accessories, and her hair was adorned with a rose-shaped bun. However, this figure was very different from the Rose Dean they remembered.
She is younger!
There was not a single wrinkle on his face, his eyes sparkled like sapphires, and his whole face was radiant. There was also an invisible aura spreading out, and Zhan Ge and the other deans, who were clearly standing at the top of the Great Oasis, felt ashamed at this moment, and couldn't help but want to lower their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
And this was simply because Dean Rose had just made a breakthrough and was unable to suppress the spreading power of divine charm.
Deans Zhan Ge and the other deans felt even more shocked.
"Rose, Rose, you... have you already... already advanced to the myth level?"
He stuttered, gasping for air after each sentence.
It wasn't that he was too surprised, it was just that myths were too revered! At first glance, those of them who were at the top of the six senses were only one step away from being myths, but this one step was the difference between heaven and earth.
What a world of difference!
Not to mention taking a step, they couldn't even take half a step or even slightly lift a foot.
Logically speaking, Rose is also the same. Even though Rose is the youngest Sixth Awakening among them, there are many Sixth Awakenings younger than Rose, and none of them can be promoted to Myth. On the contrary, every year, there are cases where Sixth Awakenings try to break through to Myth and fail and die.
"That's right, I'm already a Seventh Awakening Myth."
Dean Rose said, her voice trembling slightly. However, Deans Jian and Zhan Ge were more shocked at the moment and did not notice the tremor in Rose's words.
Dean Zhan Ge swallowed and said, "This... this is the 'evidence' you said you would show us."
This evidence was so frightening that if they were not powerful six-sense masters, they would have had a heart attack out of shock.
Dean Rose nodded.
He shook his head again in his heart.
She had only thought of measuring her own degree of erosion and contamination when the time came, so that Zhan Ge and the others would be surprised and understand the weight of her "unspeakable matters".
But she never expected that in just twenty days, she would...she would be promoted to a myth.
Of course, these twenty days were not easy for her. Only she herself knew how much she had paid. With a lot of treasures and unremitting perseverance, looking back, she felt that it was natural for her to advance... What the hell!!
How come she, the least experienced dean in Jianhua City, suddenly became such a legend?
Apart from other things, the myth awakening ceremony organized by himself was too simple! It was just laying out some materials, so simple that it made people feel perfunctory.
And it’s very cheap!
She was shocked and happy, but also felt a lot of unreality.
"I was only promoted to a myth by luck. Originally... Anyway, there are many secrets that I cannot tell you due to the contract, but you should understand now, right?"
"I can only say that it does have something to do with the Burning Chamber of Commerce. Perhaps..."
Dean Jian and Dean Zhan Ge already know very well what choice the City of Sword and Flower should make. It is now obvious which partner is more suitable. Moreover, Dean Rose's preference is already very clear.
But what they haven’t figured out is how feasible it is to replicate breakthrough cases like the rose.
10%? 5%? Or even less.
Before, they were still disdainful of the contract document, but at this moment, they were willing to spend all their wealth in exchange for a chance to sign a contract.
“It’s not that simple.”
Rose said so.
They thought Rose said that it was not that easy to break through the myth, which was natural. With their qualifications and accumulation, even with treasures like "Pure Divine Radiance", the chances of breaking through the myth were quite slim.
It's right that it's difficult. If it were too simple, they wouldn't believe it.
Dean Rose actually said that it was very, very difficult to apply for another invitation letter to join the organization. Of course, she also thought that it was difficult to advance to the myth level. Compared with the great power bestowed by the organization, the price she paid was still too little. This was her real luck.
The two deans withdrew their gazes with regret, wondering if they could find an opportunity from little Rosemary.
When leaving, Dean Zhan Ge looked back at the indescribably noble Rose, then looked down at himself.
Obviously, Rose's advancement to myth is a great joy.
Mingming, all the pressure he was carrying was swept away.
But why did he suddenly feel... a little melancholy?
…
…
Teacher Fang felt a little melancholy at the moment. He wiped the non-existent beads of sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh.
"It can be considered a promotion to a legend."
The Xinhuo organization has added two more legends, but these two have greatly lowered the organization's myth promotion rate. During the entire promotion process, his mentor was very nervous and sweated a lot. It's because a myth awakening requires two legendary materials, 55,000 destiny points, and other miscellaneous consumption, which is all burning money!
Oh, it seems that they applied for awakening guidance with funds? No... That's also very distressing! After all, the consumption of destiny points cannot be compensated by bringing in funds. Fortunately, these two newly promoted mythical workers can also bring some destiny point income to the organization in the future, which can slowly flow back.
Aside from the first attempt at 'Clear Awakening' which was bound to fail, Dean Rose tried three times in total before she was promoted.
She set a new record for the Xinhuo organization.
However, soon, Master Eluxita surpassed Dean Rose by a long way. She created a record of seven times before being promoted, which may not be surpassed by later generations.
This is not because the Blackrock Alliance’s first tower master lacks talent and willpower.
But this person’s foundation is too poor.
Fang You had always believed that a failed awakening would eradicate all the filth in his body, until he failed at the hands of Dean Rose and the First Tower Master.
After the 'Eradication Awakening', Dean Rose's own pollution level only dropped to 3.6%. The First Tower Master was even worse, she still had a 20.3% pollution level.
It is worth mentioning that the first tower master's initial pollution level exceeded 45%, which was comparable to the Sixth Sense Xitina in "Facing the Evil God".
But Fang You came up with a guess after studying it for a while, "Xitina was very polluted at that time, but it had just been eroded, so as the mystery dissipated, the filth also dissipated. However, Dean Rose and the First Tower Master are both quite old, especially the First Tower Master. The filth on them is already deep-rooted and thick, so it is naturally difficult to remove."
After two 'eradication awakenings', the First Tower Master's own pollution level was reduced to an acceptable level.
After that, he continued to fail 5 times before he was promoted to the myth.
"Myth awakening is so difficult!"
Especially the First Tower Master, who couldn't afford the awakening requirements even if he spent all his wealth, and 60% of the cost of this ceremony was prepaid by the organization. However, he was not as wealthy as these two imagined, and if he failed a dozen more times, he was afraid that he would not be able to find the right legendary materials.
"For mythical combat power, it is better to cultivate the direct lineage as much as possible."
"Of course, if we want to fight against the indescribable evil god, we also need to unite all the external forces that can be united. However, we need to keep it secret and not have too many people. Besides, the consumption of materials is also a problem."
Furthermore, due to the secrecy, it is not that easy to invite people to join. It requires fate.
He looked at the information boxes representing the major forces such as Wave City-State, Burning Oasis, and Storm City, and thought for a moment.
"These large oases... well, there's no need to force them. Just wait for fate to decide. As for the area outside the Falling Star Region..."
Fang You gazed into the distance, lost in thought.
