Chapter 1374: Halo

Qin and the other staff member had left, preparing to turn the traffickers’ heads in for their bounty.

Lize didn’t have the courage to go against an angel’s judgement—— as that would be the same as going against the Splendor Saint Church itself.

She had no choice but to unwillingly leave.

Only Gu Qing Shan and Crow, as well as—— the familiar angel who remained at the scene.

Their gazes were focused on the halo above the angel’s head.

“So you’re no longer a librarian?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Yu Juan sighed: “I just took a couple of days off, I didn’t expect to see Crow in this kind of trouble, so I just provided him some help”

“So you’ve left the Void Library?”

Gu Qing Shan and Crow both asked.

Yu Juan appeared a bit dejected: “As a librarian, I have to face the Apocalypse and risk my life for the pursuit of knowledge, but I couldn’t even go to a concert when I returned. Living without any personal time like this is completely uninteresting”

“That’s true” Crow agreed.

“So why did you turn into an angel?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You’re talking about this?”

In front of the two of them, Yu Juan took the halo off his head.

“Hovering-type ring-shaped luminescent lightbulb, a technological product; it could also change into a total of seven colors following personal preference” Yu Juan delightedly explained.

Gu Qing Shan and Crow were both stunned.

“So in the end, you weren’t actually an angel of the Splendor Saint Church” Crow sighed in relief. historical

“Why do you seem so afraid?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Those angels are really hard-headed; I don’t want to be associated with them in any way, shape, or form” Crow replied.

Yu Juan pressed down on a certain part of the light.

The white glowing halo turned into faint pink.

“Ah, that’s quite a cutesy color, angelic pink, correct?” Crow asked.

Yu Juan gave him a thumbs-up: “You sure know your stuff. This is a limited edition proof of devout believers”

Gu Qing Shan took the ring and examined it for a bit, asking: “Yu Juan, aren’t you afraid of being discovered by the church as you’re impersonating them?”

“It was the church who gave this to me” Yu Juan stuck his chest out.

Seeing how confused Gu Qing Shan was, he explained: “I frequently make donations to the church, so when it reached a certain limit, the angels gave me this halo as a representation that I’m a mortal under the Church’s protection”

“How much money did you actually donate?” Crow asked.

Yu Juan answered with a number.

Crow whistled impressively and commented: “I didn’t think you were that rich”

“Does that mean that the more money one donates to the Church, the better the incentives become?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“Indeed, if you can donate an astronomical amount, then they could even help you reincarnate as a real angel, perhaps even give you a certain amount of power and authority” Crow replied.

“That’s right, money is omnipotent, there isn’t a single organization who’d say no to more money” Yu Juan replied.

Hearing them talking, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but recall Laura.

...I could probably take Laura to Void City.

This place is her real home field.

Crow spoke in a low voice: “Yu Juan, where did you get so much money to exchange for a lightbulb from the angels?”

Yu Juan also lowered his voice: “This is my entire research budget—— I’m currently researching the correlation between the Church’s authority and wealth”

“It certainly takes a lot of money to conduct research, but where exactly did your budget come from?” Gu Qing Shan also asked.

“Evil creatures” Yu Juan replied.

“...Right, I should’ve guessed, only evil creatures would be so interested in the church” Gu Qing Shan said.

Yu Juan looked down to check his watch, then said right away: “—–Let’s not talk yet, I need to get to my concert”

“Ah, we’re just about to get busy with something else too, see you later then”

“See you”

The three of them flashed and disappeared, flying away in different directions.

...

The City Lord’s manor.

The girl walked around Crow, then nodded to Gu Qing Shan.

“His appearance is decent, I’ve also heard that he had experience acting as a woman, but I wonder if he was under any manipulation” the girl said.

Gu Qing Shan took out his black handbook and chanted the incantation.

[Divine Word: Thwart]

A holy glow enveloped Crow.

He was fine.

“Curt Death Silver Crow, I trust that Gu Qing Shan has explained what you need to know—— are you willing to become my doppelganger and head into the Wraith realm?” the girl asked.

Crow turned to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan replied: “My real name is Gu Qing Shan”

“Since you’re willing to state your true name, you weren’t originally an evil creature, were you?” Crow asked.

“That’s right, I’m a human. For the sake of my safety, I had to keep it a secret before” Gu Qing Shan admitted.

Crow appeared triumphant and said: “I knew you couldn’t have been an evil creature”

“Why not?”

“Because you’re so much more ferocious compared to an evil creature”

“...”

Crow turned to the City Lord’s daughter again, silently praising the other party’s beauty, but kept a firm expression and asked: “Esteemed lady, may we have the honor of knowing your name?”

“I am the Fate Technician Fei Yue, daughter of our Void City’s Lord, and currently the manager of the entire Void City” she answered.

“Fate Technician!?” Crow was startled and couldn’t help himself exclaim: “Then all of your techniques are Fate-type abilities?”

“That is exactly the case. You are about to act as my doppelganger, while Gu Qing Shan has the same goal I do; I trust him, and I trust the person that he nominated—— so there’s a need for you to understand my capabilities”

Fei Yue opened her palm and spoke with a calm expression: “While all of my abilities are Fate-type Skills, the most crucial of them is called [Mysterious Thread]”

Thin black threads extended from her fingers and went into the void of space, disappearing after a few moments.

A second later.

One of the threads became attached to Crow’s shoulder.

“Is this infallible?” Crow looked at his shoulder.

“Indeed, I can see the connection between you and I” Fei Yue said, “I will prepare the reward you wished for”

Crow was surprised: “You already know what kind of reward I want? What exactly is this ability?”

Fei Yue explained: “All living beings and all things are interconnected; I can see all the connections between them through minimal divination. Given the correct conditions, I am able to use this connection to discover the truth, peer into the future, unleash attacks, or anything else that I might wish to do”

After a bit of thinking, Crow’s expression became serious.

This meant that if she wanted to kill someone, she didn’t even need to see them, she would be able to act simply by possessing something with connections to them.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything, but he suddenly recalled Lin.

Lin also had a Fate-type ability.

[Existence].

Both [Existence] and [Mysterious Thread] are abilities that can’t be practically resolved.

——Fate-type abilities are indeed terrifying.

As Fei Yue pulled her hand back, the five black threads disappeared without a trace.

“Now that you’ve had an understanding of me, Crow, you must be able to perfectly imitate my manner of speech and gestures to the point that no one would be able to discern us within the next half-month” Fei Yue said.

“That’s no problem, but I’ve reached a pivotal point in strength and will probably break through very soon, I’ll need a bit of time” Crow told her.

Fei Yue looked at him, then turned to Gu Qing Shan: “Indeed, the two of you had stayed in the Saint Spirit world before, its Origin power was extremely powerful so just by fighting there, your respective strengths should have received a considerable boost”

“Before we set out, Gu Qing Shan will most likely get a chance to break through as well, but that will depend a lot on his fate”

Gu Qing Shan was startled.

Breaking through to reach Star River Saint realm wasn’t something that could be achieved in a short while, so he still hadn’t noticed any signs of it happening.

“Crow, you have one and a half days to achieve a breakthrough, after that is over, immediately come to see me” Fei Yue told him.

“One and a half days is enough” Crow nodded.

Fei Yue then turned to Gu Qing Shan and said: “You must also achieve a breakthrough as well; I have a premonition that your survival will depend on this breakthrough”

“What do you mean by that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“If you cannot advance, you will face numerous hardships after entering the Wraith realm. Only by breaking through and gaining a great boost in strength would the plan you and I have drawn up have a possibility of success”

“...I do not understand this advancement very well either, I would like to borrow some Cultivation-type books from the City Lord’s manor to learn about it” Gu Qing Shan said.

Star River Saint.

It was said that there was a great rift in strength between Sumeru Lord realm and Star River Saint realm.

He didn’t think that this rift would be directly smoothed over from a trip to a supremely powerful world.

But the process of breaking through to Star River Saint was different from other cultivation realms, and Gu Qing Shan didn’t know a lot about the mystics of Star River Saint realm.

This realm itself was a mystery.

“No problem, I’ll give them to you now”

Stating that, Fei Yue leisurely waved her hand.

Oom!

A slight tremble.

At the middle of the secret room stood a huge piece of white jade around a hundred meters in height.

“These are the advanced cultivation knowledge that the City Lord’s manor had collected and compiled into a mega-sized jade tag, take good care of it” Fei Yue told him.

Gu Qing Shan put his hand on the piece of white jade and stowed it into his Inventory Bag.

“Thank you very much, I’m grateful” he clasped his fist.

“No need to thank me, I’m only doing this for our plan. Gu Qing Shan, the stronger you become, the more assured we would be regarding this matter” Fei Yue smiled.

“I still need to thank you. I’ll be taking my leave right away and immediately return after I complete my breakthrough”

Fei Yue and Crow both nodded.

Gu Qing Shan stepped backwards into the white fog and disappeared from the secret room.
