They stared intently at every passerby, hoping to find even the tiniest bit of useful information.
Jiu smiled and greeted the passing colleague.
ââI take back what I said earlier.
This is not safe at all!
She quickly crossed the square, returned to her room, washed up slightly, and lay down on her bed to rest.
The shadow that borrowed the Dream Realm Rules was always following her.
Even when she was resting.
The shadow continued to cast the Dream Realm Technique.
Techniques pierced the Void, heading towards the Myriad Worldsââ
It seems it wants to check the entire Myriad Realms.
Jiu closed her eyes, yawning, quietly restingââas if she couldnât see the other at all.
In a moment.
Rows of tiny glowing words appeared, floating on her retina:
"Mission loading complete."
"The sequence has discovered you have completed the first mission of the Human Race."
"The sequence is unfolding the second mission, making it concrete, obtaining the pre-task:"
"The Emperorâs Attendant."
"Description: Within 24 hours, you and your world are highly likely to be discovered. To avoid such a fate of destruction, you need to find a critical character and seek their service."
"ââCritical character marked."
"ââCommanding other strong ones to serve is one of the core abilities of the Emperor sequence."
Tsk.
Seek the service of other strong ones?
But in the Myriad Worlds, who can resist such a search?
Suddenly, Charlotteâs voice rang in her ears:
"Notice, the Dharma Aspect is undergoing a mutation."
Jiu opened her eyes a sliver.
She didnât do anything, just silently activated another avatar hidden in the Dharma Aspect.
Original Spirit of Destructionââ
Good Duck!
It jumped out, looking around sternly, but was caught by Charlotte in her arms.
"Itâs that guy."
Charlotte whispered.
Good Duck looked in the direction indicated by Charlotte, only to see Rahu, tied to a pillar by the White Emperor, staring at itself.
ââEveryone thought he was unreliable, so he was sealed here.
A rotating stream of Runes circled around it.
"Marker: Future Other Shore strong one."
"This being may connect with the sequence of the Other Shore, you need to borrow its identity to invoke the Void and summon its future self to serve."
"Summoning method: Tell it directly, you want to fulfill one of its wishes."
"Once the wish is achieved, this sequence can use its identity to summon its future self to serve."
Good Duck flew forward, circled Rahu once, somewhat unsure about this matter.
Indeed.
The sequence has already made a mark.
But next, to fulfill one of Rahuâs wishes?
What if it asks for too much?
...Itâs a bit tricky.
"Brother, welcome to my place as a guest."
Good Duck said sincerely.
Rahu glared at it, his lips moved, but he couldnât speak for a while.
ââIt was you who agreed to tie me up!
You were the one who sealed me here!
Now you have the nerve to call me brother?
"I remember during team operations, others were supposed to enter the nest first, but you cut in line to go first."
"ââSuch a nostalgic battle."
Good Duck commented.
Rahuâs eyes shifted, and he spoke:
"Are you still angry about that?"
"A bit, after all, you didnât have the teamâs interest at heart." Good Duck said.
It gritted its teeth, suddenly drew out the You Huang knife, and licked the blade with its duck lips, its voice growing colder:
"Speak, before I deal with you, I can grant you one wish."
"Donât kill me!" Rahu shouted.
"Deal." Good Duck sheathed the blade and snapped its fingers.
ââBut no prompt appeared in the Void.
Not successful?
Good Duck was a bit puzzled.
It looked at Rahu, only to see a line of tiny glowing words appear above Rahuâs head:
"Awaiting target confirmation."
ââRahuâs confirmation is still needed!
"What exactly do you want to do? Kill me? Or do you have some other intent?"
Rahu hesitated and asked.
"No," Good Duck said solemnly, "everyone originally wanted me to kill you, but now your wish is not to be killed, Iâm preparing to fulfill your wish."
"ââUnless you donât want me to do that?"
The long knife was drawn again, placed against Rahuâs neck, already starting to press down.
The intense pain from the cut signified beheading.
Beheading is underway!
"Donât kill me!"
"Of course I want you to stop!"
Rahu no longer had time to think, and he kept saying.
ââClang!
A noise sounded.
The sequence has activated!
Rahu felt a faint sensation in his heart, as if he had lost something very important.
"What exactly were you doing just now?"
He couldnât help but ask.
"Spare your life, isnât that strange?" Good Duck retorted.
Rahu still felt something was wrong and spoke:
"Listen, my good brother, let me go first, I will definitely do good work for the team!"
Good Duck no longer bothered to respond to him.
Lines of tiny letters appeared in the void:
"An emperor in exile is still an emperor, generously fulfilling the otherâs wishes, thus revising this part of history in everyoneâs memory."
"Many years later, in that distant future, when Rahu recalls the life-and-death moment, he will surely remember this afternoon when you stood alone in saving his life."
"The sequence begins recruiting the future Rahu."
"Recruitment successful!"
"The future Rahu decides to come to the rescue!"
All the small letters disappeared.
The matter seemed to be successful.
Jiu lay in bed, turned over, and continued to sleep comfortably.
ââNothing seems to have happened.
The sequence stirred up something strange, and now nothing is happeningââ
What will happen next?
Suddenly.
A voice appeared in her mind:
"Hello, esteemed Sequence Emperor."
ââItâs Rahu!
But why does this voice carry unprecedented confidence?
Looking again at the Dharma Aspect, the bound Rahu had a face full of suspicion, seemingly not transmitting his voice.
"I am Rahu from the future, following the sequenceâs guidance, here to help."
The voice said.
"You want to help me?" Jiu probed.
"In those days, everyone wanted to kill me, but you stood alone and spared my life. Although Iâm not a good person, Iâve always remembered this!"
The voice said with emotion.
"I just felt you shouldnât just die like that." Jiu said sincerely.
ââYou turned out to be so useful?
"Leave it to me next, Iâll find an unmanned parallel world, attract all those Other Shore trash over, and clear your suspicion."
Rahu said.
"Be careful." Jiu advised.
"Donât worry, I am Rahu the Demon."
The voice said indifferently.
Silence returned to her ears.
One breath.
Two breaths.
Three breaths.
Suddenlyââ
The shadow standing by the bed seemed to sense something, directly leapt out the window, rushed into the sky, and instantly disappeared.
In the square.
All the shadows flew into the sky, merged into the aether, and vanished.
They seemed to be attracted by something outside the aether, leaving this place behind!
The world returned to tranquility.
But.
With Jiuâs current strength, she could completely sense that a battle beyond imagination was happening in some space beyond the aether.
The level of power fluctuation, even across the aether, could still be sensed by her.
...Too strong.
"Sequence, you summoned his future self, if he does anything arbitrarily in this era and we canât stop it, what should we do?"
Jiu couldnât help but ask.
Lines of tiny letters appeared:
"Rest assured, he can only do things within the scope of his promise, beyond the scope will be invalid and immediately fined and exiled."
"Fined?"
"Yes, his cultivation will suffer greatly to compensate youâbelieve me, thatâs unbearable for him."
Jiu felt somewhat reassured hearing this.
Time slowly passed.
Until the afternoon.
Break time was over.
Jiu got up, changed her clothes, looked in the mirror, and went to work carrying her small bag.
The whole afternoon was uneventful.
She just sat idly at her workstation, completing some office documents.
Until nightfall.
Lines of tiny letters appeared before her eyes again:
"Your Future Attendant is serving."
"The service has been successful."
"The enemyâs main force was attracted to an unmanned parallel world and engaged in a battle."
"Please continue to survive until 24 hours are over to complete the sequence mission of âExiled Emperor.â"
