It wasn't until Fogblade returned to the player spectator platform, and until the fluorescent light in the air transformed into antlers and a whale tail, that [Carrying Wine] sent a reply.
[The Wine]: It arrived, but too late. The matter was already over. The Divine Game sent a notification to all the undead. Your teacher learned about the punishment for this duel and the final choice of the Withered Monarch. She refused all conversion materials.
[Carrying Wine]: She said, thank you for planning a way out for her, but all the dead are proud to be subjects of the withered monarch.
[Seeking Song]: I understand. Please tell her that I respect her decision.
After cutting off the communication, Yu Xunge looked calmly at the battle between Lu Qiulu and Tingzhou Jing'e, which had already begun to fight on the clock face.
Unlike Mist Blade and Withered Cover, these two didn't exchange any harsh words before the battle. They started by exchanging blows in perfect unison, while simultaneously dodging each other's skills with practiced ease, as if they had rehearsed countless times.
Perhaps due to attribute suppression, or perhaps because Lu Qiulu had already dropped to level 18 after several shuffling games, he fought to a standstill with Jing'e, who was also at level 18.
As one of the few creatures that are entirely in animal form, it possesses extremely strong innate abilities, just like the mountain and the wind whale.
The mountains and waves on the clock face never stopped, and even though both sides had limited mana, these abilities were like breathing to them.
However, Jing'e repeatedly controlled Qiulu's skills. Less than 3 minutes into the game, Qiulu was at a disadvantage with her health below 30, while Jing'e's health was still above 50.
But Qiu Lu didn't seem flustered or anxious at all. He stopped using any magical attacks and instead used his antlers to slash again and again.
A translucent wind whale swam and dodged through the air, trying to create distance and fly a kite, while the waves gathered into a small sea on the clock face: "Haven't you found the divine talent word yet?"
Autumn Deer chased after Mirror Goose, its antlers gleaming. It retorted, "You didn't find it either."
"Anyway, I'll definitely find it before you do."
"Give me a break."
In this tense moment of revenge, the deer and the whale playfully quarreled, but the momentum and frequency of their attacks remained unchanged.
After a few seconds of silence, Qiu Lu suddenly said, "Would you like to hear my opinion of you?"
Mirror Goose replied without hesitation, "No."
Qiu Lu seemed to have guessed the other person's answer, and he asked sincerely, "Then can you tell me about myself?"
The waves rose and fell, and through a curtain of water, the wind whale and the mountain gazed at each other silently in the air, just like when they gazed at each other through a light curtain at the beginning of the game.
They were just young then, but now their eyes no longer hold confusion or fear.
The attack ceased at some point, and the waves that had gathered on the clock face calmed down, revealing several submerged mountains and mines.
“I don’t know.” Mirror Goose’s tone was no longer playful, but calm and weary. “You were the first to invade Tingzhou, but you were also the ones who protected Tingzhou and Wind Whale later. I don’t know.”
"All I know is that every time a world invades Tingzhou, they secretly contact all the leaders of Yushan. They tell you that as long as you betray Tingzhou with Yushan, you can leave Tingzhou safely with your people and settle in a new world. It's just a different world. Yulu is gone, so what does it have to do with Tingzhou? In fact, Yulu was destroyed by Tingzhou."
Jing'e rambled on incoherently about her confusion and bewilderment.
