Chapter 537: Chapter 534: "Anjiang?

[Replica Activation·Day Nine]

Su Ming’an sat opposite a young girl dressed in a ceremonial shaman robe.

A bright red Sacrificial Crown sat on the girl’s head, glowing with a blood-like hue.

She bowed her head, busy with her duties.

"Clan Leader." Guang Li’s voice came from outside the door, "About the former Clan Leader Fengchang’s funeral ceremony..."

"Mm." Xiber put down her pen, "Hold it according to the tribe’s usual practices, I will preside over the ceremony."

Su Ming’an sat by the side, watching Xiber handle the affairs of the First Tribe methodically.

After Fengchang’s death, she immediately took on all the responsibilities.

The succession ceremony, the funeral of the former Clan Leader, the tribe’s restoration after the disaster... all were handed over to her alone.

Initially, the tribespeople thought she was too young and inexperienced, but Xiber, who had experienced countless reincarnations, was proficient in these matters and easily carried the burden.

Her ability to regulate emotions was truly strong.

Just yesterday, she was overwhelmed with grief over Fengchang’s death, but after a night, she adjusted her emotions and began to handle affairs calmly.

"Clan Leader, I will take my leave now," said the third elder.

"Go ahead," Xiber said.

Before leaving, the third elder cast an ambiguous glance at her and Su Ming’an.

That look was familiar.

... It must be said, the bad habit of viewing women around Bai Shen as wives still existed, its origin unknown.

"Xiber, are you going to stay in the First Tribe for now?" Su Ming’an asked.

"Mm." Xiber did not lift her head.

"Then, after everything ends in fifteen days, would you like to come with me?" Su Ming’an asked.

Xiber’s favorability was still 100 points, and the invitation he issued for a follower was still valid.

...

"Ding-dong!"

[You have issued a "Follower" invitation to the NPC (Xiber).]

...

After hearing this, Xiber looked up and subtly smiled at him.

"Qiongdi already cannot do without me," she said,

"Su Ming’an, why don’t you stay instead?"

...

"Ding-dong!"

[NPC (Xiber) has issued an "Observer" invitation to you.]

...

Naturally, their mutual invitations were both rejected, with neither side accepting the other’s invitation.

"You see, we are so similar; I have things I can’t let go of, and so do you," Xiber said with a smile, "As for now, I neither possess ’Faith’ nor ’Energy,’ and there is hardly any chance for me to become a God. After you become one of the Bai Shen and overthrow the Black Wall... I must stay in Qiongdi to manage the aftermath."

"Have you thought about the structure after overthrowing the Black Wall?" Su Ming’an asked.

Xiber shook her head.

"I... haven’t," she said, "Honestly, I don’t know if people from the outside world will hate us, after all, to them, we are a source of radiation. Our act of overthrowing the Black Wall fundamentally pollutes their environment.

If... we really go to war over this, that’s also the fate of the world.

We can’t just suffer in the Black Wall until death out of fear of antagonizing the outside world, right? We must communicate with the outsiders, utilizing their advanced technological strength to eliminate the curse of Qiondgi."

As she spoke, she bowed her head again.

Moments later, Su Ming’an stood up.

"...So, I’ll go find Yuan Shuangshuang first," he said.

As the first Guide, Yuan Shuangshuang held the Black Crow Authority symbolizing the "Curse." At the beginning, her unfortunate Player adventurer couldn’t withstand the curse on her and died, causing her to lose her divine wisdom. Xiber then dragged her into the cellar of the cabin.

Logically, Yuan Shuangshuang should have already died from the curse explosion.

"Go ahead," Xiber said softly.

Su Ming’an bid farewell to Xiber.

He had Shadow follow her to protect her while he himself headed to the initial cabin to look for Yuan Shuangshuang.

The First Tribe was already under his control, and he had activated the Tribe’s strength, dispatching several powerful elders to eliminate Players and reduce competitors.

But what particularly concerned him was Su Rin, who had been missing for a long time.

... This person seemed to have truly vanished into thin air.

Even though his house was robbed, Su Rin still hadn’t returned from the wilderness.

... Did he really go to become a wild wolf?

Su Ming’an opened the panel and saw a system prompt.

...

[Eighth World·Global Prompt: Due to only 13 surviving Players, all Players are requested to assemble at the Qiongdi coordinates (287, 180) by dawn on the tenth day to participate in the final Silver Star instance. The victor of this instance will receive five Silver Stars.]

...

This was the system prompt from last night.

The casualty rate for Players was severe, reaching the point where gathering even a small number of them for the next day’s final Silver Star instance was nearly impossible. Essentially, this was the decisive battle.

This world was about to end.

Su Ming’an ran toward the cabin, seeing many horribly disfigured corpses along the way, belonging to both tribespeople and Players. A toxic rainstorm had just ceased, causing many to die beneath the poisonous rainfall.

He arrived at the cabin before evening. Fortunately, the coordinates for the Silver Star instance were nearby, so there was no need to worry about not making it by dawn.

He pushed open the door of the cabin and smelled a thick scent of blood, which was coming from the basement.

Because the curse’s authority was so unique, Yuan Shuangshuang was the most dangerous Guide, emitting harmful radiation to others and herself; even getting close could easily lead to metamorphosis.

At her time of death, there would be an explosion-like effect of the curse.

That’s why Xiber had wanted to throw her in the basement first, waiting for her to die before coming back to recover the Black Crow Authority.

Su Ming’an lifted the heavy stone of the basement and walked down the stone stairs.

He knew something unexpected must have occurred; otherwise, what he would be smelling now should be the scent of Yuan Shuangshuang’s body turned to sludge, not the smell of blood.

He walked to the bottom and saw a corpse that surprised him.

A blond young man lay in the basement, his body covered in decayed muck, his shattered face still maintaining an expression of astonishment, as if he had seen something strange before he died.

... It was Noel.

Su Ming’an had thought that Noel could have survived until the end, at least participate in the final Silver Star instance with him, but instead, Noel had died here.

Looking at Noel’s already stopped pocket watch, his time of death was yesterday evening.

Noel must have arrived here at the time when the Jiu Shen appeared yesterday, attempting to obtain the Black Crow Authority and hand it over to Su Ming’an, enabling him to become a Bai Shen to confront the Jiu Shen.

Noel’s idea was sound, and he was well-informed. He already knew that the Black Crow Authority was in Yuan Shuangshuang’s hands and even knew she was in this basement.

But clearly, something went wrong along the way, and not only did Noel fail to secure the Black Crow Authority, but he also died here, apparently from the curse.

It seems Yuan Shuangshuang not only didn’t die but also killed Noel in self-defense.

Though she had been in a state of lost divine wisdom all along, she somehow managed to kill Noel, who approached her.

Su Ming’an turned around and suddenly froze.

He saw a small, purple-haired figure standing at the top of the basement stairs.

Light fell on her, casting a long shadow behind her.

She appeared without warning, and he hadn’t heard any footsteps.

She tilted her head, smiling, "Are you looking for me? Anjiang."
