Chapter 240, Chapter 239: The Chosen One
The study is still the same as I remember it. On the morning of the day I got into trouble, the big book that Grandma read to Yanshi was still on the desk, with one of the pages folded up at one corner.
But no one will ever finish telling the unfinished second half of the story.
As a child, Yan Shi did not like reading. Even when her grandmother gave her lessons in a simple, interesting and childlike way, she would often get distracted or act spoiled and refuse to read.
Yan Shi preferred Guixu Sea, and liked to sit by the sea, watching the tide rise and fall, sometimes for an entire day.
Looking back now, it wasn't that she liked Guixu Sea, but rather that the concentration of water essence was highest by the sea.
Countless blue lights twinkled and floated in the waves and wind, entwining around her and teasing her.
Few cubs can resist a docile, moving, and light-up toy.
After leaving Guixu Town, Yan Shi forgot everything. He never tested his spiritual affinity again.
She raised her hand and pressed it against her chest.
The heart of light beats powerfully within it.
Yan Shi can indirectly control the fire spirit through the blazing sun crown, and will also be subconsciously surrounded by the wood spirits because of the life scepter.
After acquiring the Heart of Light, the Light Spirits will actively approach her and repair her body when she is injured.
Initially, Yan Shi was most close to Shui Ling.
After reconnecting with the inner world and with the spirits, with the blazing sun crowned in the room and fire spirits surrounding her, the water spirits didn't even have a chance to get close to her.
He could only sneak a touch on her wrist through the gap, but received no response, and left disappointed.
Therefore, on the few occasions that Yan Shi acted as Yan Lan, Shui Ling would do her best whenever Yan Shi needed her.
They were overwhelming, exerting all their strength. Even though Yan Shi had forgotten everything.
But the inner world and the spirits have never forgotten Yan Shi.
Yan Shi turned his head and looked at the bookshelf on one side of the study.
The books that Shan Fengyang carried around during his many moves were mostly rare ancient books, as well as some of her notes from Linxi Bridge.
Yan Shi hadn't officially entered the path of cultivation, so she didn't have any inner demons; she only had regrets.
Relieving worries won't keep Yan Shi asleep for long. For ordinary people, all that relief can bring is a dream.
The dream will end soon.
Yan Shi needs to seize this opportunity. She grew up in the outside world and ultimately did not receive systematic education, so she knows nothing.
She needs to find the answers to the current mess and the multitude of questions.
“The world barrier and the authority of the spirits…” Yan Shi murmured to himself, “as well as the laws and abilities, the Destiny Platform, and the Director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.”
She walked to the bookshelf and scanned the spines of the books from top to bottom.
The ancient books were carefully placed on higher shelves, probably out of concern that young Yan Shi might casually pull them out and use them as draft paper to scribble.
Shan Fengyang and Linxiqiao did not keep many notes, and their notebooks were all fancy with all sorts of spine markings.
The biggest advantage is that all of them have names written on them.
Most of them are from Linxi Bridge, while there are only two from Shanfengyang.
Yan Shi took out these two books.
They are all very thick laptops.
One book was well-bound with a soft and delicate suede cover and a familiar-looking emblem of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs in the upper left corner; the other was old and tattered, looking like a freebie from a roadside stall.
Yan Shi lowered his eyes.
She already knew what the first book was.
Grandma's work journal.
She had gotten a copy from Kirina, and unsurprisingly, it was the same copy as this one.
Yan Shi turned to the first page.
really.
[Sunny on May 9th]
Today is a very important day. I've become the Director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. Headquarters! Director! I'm going to send a message mocking Linxiqiao. She worked hard at the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs for three years, and in the end, she still has to be my subordinate, hahahahahaha.
My office is huge, and it overlooks Guixu Sea. The floor-to-ceiling windows are enormous—I have to take a picture!
...
According to procedure, the working notes of the Director-General of the Foreign Affairs Bureau must be submitted to the archives after leaving office.
Aside from the bureau chief's personal collection.
Yan Shi estimated that this was the only copy of the director's notes from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs that had been leaked.
After her grandmother's death, she was taken away by Ishmael.
Yan Shi flipped straight to the last page, then paused, startled.
The last page of this book is different from the one in Yan Shi's hand.
The book in Yanshi's hand is his grandmother's work diary, which only goes up to the day Yanshi was born.
There is still a lot of content in the later parts of this book.
【Sunny on August 21st】
We moved to the Guixu Seaside.
Perhaps it was because Lanlan got closer to the sea, but the year-long riots in Guixu Sea gradually subsided.
Ish simply built a treehouse on the shore, a skill that all elves possess.
Unfortunately, the water spirits by the sea do not welcome other spirits, nor do they welcome fairies.
His treehouse collapsed again.
Because of the upheaval in the Guixu Sea, all living things near the sea have moved away. I found an empty town.
We decided to stay in this small town.
Lanlan has turned one year old and is starting to be curious about the world. She always stumbles and tries to walk outside the yard.
That won't do.
I can't let her begin her understanding of the world in an empty town; that's a horror story.
Just then, Ish told me that a heavily injured, pregnant woman had come to the outside of the Forest of Life. Her child was dying, but she somehow managed to dig out the Heart of Light and stuff it into her child's body.
I find it very interesting.
The Heart of Light is usually bestowed upon His chosen one by the laws of nature.
He probably never imagined that a desperate mother would search the world, kill His unborn son of destiny, and give the world's favored destiny to her child to save her.
I agreed to let Su Jiefan move into the town, so her child could become Lanlan's playmate.
Will the laws of nature favor or abhor that artificially created chosen one?
I'm very curious.
[Sunny on September 14th]
Lanlan has finally learned to speak.
That's good, she's not mute (although I've accepted the fact that she might be mute for months).
However, considering that Yan Shi's ability is the law, even though I have already set up a large magic array outside Guixu Town and used the Scepter of Life, the Crown of the Blazing Sun, and the Blessing of the Tide to cover her up.
She almost attracted the law.
The first word Lanlan learned to say was "feifei".
And then she really did fly.
I:...
It would be better if he were mute.
[October 6th, cloudy]
A crack has appeared in the world's barrier.
Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and I asked Yunji to repair it.
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
While it's true that a world's defenses are only truly strong when there are five or more authorities simultaneously exerting control, I've carefully considered this issue.
Lanlan possesses the authority of three spirits, but the blessing of the tides belongs to the Guixu Sea.
We live by the Guixu Sea, and rounding up, how could we not consider the tidal blessing to be at the place of suppression?
The Heart of Light has no fixed place of suppression; it beats only in the chest of the chosen one.
The Floating City is based on Floating Soil, and the Floating Soil uses the Floating City as its suppression point. There will absolutely be no problem with this.
Let me think, there's also the Golden Bone and the Death Throne.
The Golden Bone is on that little girl in the Sanyi Tower. To save her life, the little girl ran away to the World Headquarters to lay low.
I moved the Death Throne to its vicinity; the two complement each other, which can also be considered a form of suppression.
There is no problem at all; there are five.
hateful.
Let's wait a little longer. The global barrier isn't a crispy biscuit; it can hold out for another one or two decades.
When Lanlan grows up and can go to school in Zhanzhou, I will return the Scepter of Life to the Forest of Life and the Crown of the Blazing Sun to the Jade Palace.
But not now.
...
Yan Shi gripped the book pages tightly, his face expressionless.
The answer to the question has been found.
It turns out that the world barrier had already cracked more than 20 years ago.
Moreover, there must be more than five authorities suppressing it simultaneously. Yan Shi felt that five should not be included in this context.
Yan Shi: ...
No wonder the barriers have always been shattered since she took office, crumbling at the slightest touch.
Therefore, the solution is now quite clear.
Return the blazing sun crown to the Jade Palace, give the scepter of life back to the Forest of Life, and throw the blessing of the tide into the Sea of Return to Nothingness.
As for the Heart of Light.
Yan Shi lowered his eyes.
She didn't realize that after Lin Cai gave her the Heart of Light, she became a new Chosen One, receiving the favor of fate.
...wrong.
Yan Shi recalled this amnesia and the last glimpse of the law before the amnesia.
The law revoked Yan Shi's right to inherit the authority of justice and the judiciary, and implicitly acknowledged that Yan Shi had fallen.
From then on, everything started anew, and He no longer looked at her.
Everything has gone very smoothly, and there's even the herb that relieves worries today.
Given the preciousness and uniqueness of the herb *Elsholtzia ciliata*, it should be carefully preserved by Kunlun.
Instead of the snacks sneaking into the kitchen and being served to her when she came to visit, they were served.
Everything flowed together perfectly, as if it had all been arranged by fate.
Everything went smoothly and naturally.
Truly the treatment befitting a chosen one.
Yan Shi sighed softly, closed the notebook, and put it back on the bookshelf.
Then he turned around and slowly walked back to his room.
The night remained dark. Moonlight streamed softly through the glass, falling gently on the bedside.
Yan Shi sat on the floor and rested his head on his grandmother's lap.
After she realized it was a dream and stopped paying attention, everything froze.
Yanshi reached out, gently hugged his grandmother, and closed his eyes.
"A single game," she murmured to herself, "now, I am the chosen one."
"Then please, world, grant me some good fortune."
"May my life be as you wish, and may everything go smoothly for me."
---
Yanju fell into a deep sleep and never woke up.
Besides Shu Yao, Yu You Guan was also in a panic.
After Yu Youguan evaded all of Kunlun's servants and disciples, he painstakingly sneaked into Shu Yao's room. He excitedly emerged from the spatial gap, ready to send a message to Yan Ju.
However, they found that the Kunlun elders passing by all had serious expressions and were walking in a hurry.
Yu Youguan followed curiously and overheard them discussing, "How did the herb 'Relief of Sorrow' end up in the kitchen and even made into desserts?"
"It's utterly absurd."
"And it just so happened that Director Yan ate it? It really wasn't the sect leader's doing it on purpose?"
"Who knows?"
What is it?
Yu Youguan slowly processed what he had just heard, and then everything went black.
Author's Note: Sorry, the class was rescheduled this afternoon...
Who can understand the despair of arriving home happily only to receive a notification that the professor isn't sick and the afternoon class has been rescheduled?
I'll add more tomorrow. The good news is, I finished tomorrow's classes.
Red envelopes will still be given out in the comments section today!
