Chapter 735: Chapter 611: Personally Slaying

This news completely shocked them.

"What? Wait, has it already been a day? How did we not know? When we set out, the Orochi was clearly still docked at Shangjing Bay," Shallow Dream was puzzled.

"Wait—what’s the date today?" Lu Jing was equally astounded.

"July 31st," said the medical staff with a tone of skepticism.

"Time is distorted! We came here on the 28th, the two days in between have been skipped," Lu Jing exclaimed in shock.

"That’s not right, that’s not right! There’s no 31st in July! The Great River Goddess stole July 31st and turned it into July 0th!" Shallow Dream repeated anxiously.

"July has always had 31 days," said the medical staff matter-of-factly.

"Wait, wait! I’m getting confused..." Shallow Dream turned her head to look at Lu Jing and the others.

"What? July and August both only have 30 days. Who made the mistake?" Lu Jing frowned.

"Right, July only has 30 days," Rinne, lying on the ground, was also anxious, and despite her injuries not yet healed, she couldn’t help but emphasize, "Have you all forgotten... There’s no record for the 31st in the archives either... The calendar..."

"July has always had 31 days," the medical staff insisted.

"Then let’s just assume it does," Lu Jing gave up.

"No, no..." Rinne was so upset her wounds were on the verge of splitting open again, "July only has 30 days!"

"That’s right..." Shallow Dream snapped back to reality, "It must be because we defeated the Great River Goddess."

She thought back to the previous events.

When Farosa’s Deicide Sword Aura whooshed out, the entire anomaly was shattered, golden time powers scattered outward, appearing to return the disjointed time to this world.

In this way, the world was inadvertently granted an extra day of history.

When Shallow Dream recalled July 31st of last year, she finally vaguely remembered what she had done that day; she had spent a day in the virtual pod.

"So, that’s it, it’s back to normal now," Shallow Dream realized, "There indeed was a July 31st, but the Great River Goddess took away everyone’s memories of that day, so everyone forgot about the 31st, but in reality, we were doing normal things on the 31st, we just forgot about it afterward. Hence, our calendars also lacked the 31st, and all memories related to that day disappeared! Even scientists and physicists were unable to notice such an obvious change! Such is the power of the Great River Goddess... completely overshadowing people’s understanding of natural laws and allowing us to excuse the inconsistencies."

As the power of the Great River Goddess further dissipated, their perception was gradually corrected to believe in a world with 364 days.

"So we saved the 31st, we added one more day to everyone’s summer break, a day that can be remembered, and the world became 364 days long," Lu Jing said happily.

"But no one will thank us! How can this be! We’ve given everyone an extra vibrant day in their summer break, but nobody appreciates us! Because they think it’s only natural!" Shallow Dream was both amused and frustrated.

"We find a way to defeat the Great River Goddess once more, and we’ll be able to save August 31st too, the world will become 365 days!" Lu Jing became more and more excited.

"But... next month we’ll be affected by this, after August 30th, we’ll have a full 24 hours that we completely forget what we did! That’s too terrifying!" Shallow Dream thought of the future.

"Nothing can be done..." Lu Jing shook her head; they were unable to harbor resentment towards a rule or a law, as this was the governance and amendment of the world’s rules by an Ancient Mystic.

Regardless, after this severe damage, the Great River Goddess would need to wait decades or even centuries before she might have a chance to return to this world.

Shallow Dream turned her head and saw that Seeking Shadow and the others were already walking towards the city.

"Leaving so soon, Seeking Shadow?" Shallow Dream called out.

"Catching a traitor," Seeking Shadow had already received messages from Jialong Slope, Masasuke Hazuki had betrayed his oath and had become a target that must be pursued and eradicated, and Jialong Slope was already under martial law.

"It’s... time to take out Masasuke Hazuki," Lu Jing also received the message.

She looked up and saw the Great River Goddess’ massive arm was bound by the Shuttle Machine with high-tensile steel cables, being lifted into the air to be loaded onto the Orochi, ready to be transported back to the Northern Archipelago, serving as their most important trophy.

With that arm, Lady Farosa should also awaken from her dream.

The torrential rain continued incessantly.

The downpour would last until August 10th; the Golden Cicada River continued to rise, and the tide was higher than in previous years, as if the river itself was mourning the severe injury of the goddess.

Having a whole section of her body removed was probably the greatest loss she had suffered since her creation.

After the battle with the Great River Goddess, news about the incident spread through the city of Jialong Slope, invigorating the citizens.

For the past few days, they had all been troubled by doomsday prophecies. Many secret agents of the Great River Followers spread panic in the shadows, declaring that the Great River Goddess was coming and the only way out for everyone was to make offerings to nourish the power of the Great River Goddess, otherwise they would be destroyed.

However, the Corporate Intervention Army interrupted the Great River Goddess’s revival ceremony!

Although there were some disputes over the possession of the Great River Goddess’ limbs after the fact, overall, the best possible outcome was achieved; the lives of the vast majority of ordinary people were spared, allowing them to continue with their lives and maintain peace and stability.

After its delivery, the Orochi returned to Jialong Slope.

The sleek, advanced, high-speed warship was very intimidating, especially from the outside, it was quite visually striking.

Especially at night, whenever people looked up, aside from the dark clouds and pouring rain, they would see the enormous hull flashing with bright white lights and red warning lamps, instilling an invisible sense of order in their hearts and subconsciously deterring them from causing any trouble.
