Chapter 1328: Chapter 1328: Prayer (Long Chapter Asking for Monthly Tickets)

"He Ao, what do you mean by this?"

In the spacious hall, more than a dozen people stood at the center, led by a middle-aged man about forty years old. He was robust, raised his head, and looked at He Ao, with a hint of anger between his brows, "Are you trying to stage a coup? We will never submit to you and the Evil God behind you. Where is Dean Wu Ganglie? Where have you tricked him into going?"

"Dean Wu is currently facing a minor issue,"

He Ao calmly gazed at the people in front of him, sensing the thoughts in their minds. These people were all close associates of Wu Ganglie.

Originally, Wu Ganglie had arranged for them to be in different areas to prevent mishaps, with one stationed outside the shelter where He Ao had just been, in case of emergencies.

He Ao directly used the Velora to quickly traverse, asking about his companions’ locations one by one, and then ’gathered’ them all together.

He took a deep breath, looking at the people in front of him, "Everyone, things are urgent; I’ll have to trouble you to stay here for a while."

"What do you mean?" The leader looked at He Ao, "He Ao, even though your connection to that Evil God is unclear, even if you aren’t connected to it, we are not under your jurisdiction. Only Dean Wu Ganglie can direct us. Where have you harmed him?"

As he spoke, the group behind him suddenly erupted, but not entirely towards He Ao; instead, they rushed in all directions.

Some charged towards the windows, some towards the door.

Some headed straight for He Ao, trying to block his line of sight.

Their movements were swift and orderly, without the slightest hesitation or sluggishness.

This was their tacit understanding built over years.

He Ao calmly watched the people in front of him, making no response.

When the first person was about to touch the window, a looming brilliance connected intricate patterns, instantly lighting up the entire space.

The figure charging at the window punched but did not shatter it; instead, the recoil forcefully bounced them back.

Dense patterns linked the floor and ceiling, connecting the entire space into enormous barriers.

One after another, the figures attempting to break through were pushed back by walls, doors, and windows they attacked, returning to the center of the hall.

At this moment, He Ao finally looked up at those who rushed at him, trying to create opportunities for their companions.

He gently raised his hand, his figure slightly flickered forward.

In that instant, his figure suddenly disappeared, and like unfolding petals, figures appeared almost simultaneously before everyone that charged up.

Then these ’illusory’ figures almost simultaneously raised their hands, striking the chests of those who charged at them, sending their bodies flying back.

No one could clearly see his movements, as if he had simultaneously cloned himself into several parts, taking action against everyone rushing up at the same time.

But everyone present knew those were not clones.

It was just that his movements were too fast, quick enough that they only saw the afterimages lingering in the void.

He Ao retracted his hand, and the several illusions folded back like instantly closing flower buds, returning to his body.

His steps still stood on the original position, precisely unmoved.

Those who lay on the ground raised their heads, silently looking at He Ao.

At first, some had underestimated this young man due to his age, thinking they could overpower him, even if he was B-level, and a few might be able to escape due to their good cooperative skills.

But after seeing this scene, the terrifying power extinguished all thoughts in their hearts.

The glowing array sealing the entire room shone faintly, and He Ao also looked at the people present, "Everybody, I harbor no ill will towards you. Please stay here temporarily. After everything is over, I will return to grant you freedom."

Bang——

The main door behind everyone suddenly opened, and the young man’s figure stepped forward, passing through the crowd, appearing behind the opened door.

His steps paused for a moment, then he stepped forward, passing through the doorway.

The tightly shut door closed with a bang, the dim glow of the array illuminating the silent faces of the crowd.

Outside the door, Ye Ying, standing at the entrance, saw He Ao emerging from within, hurriedly approached, and shouted, "Teacher?"

He Ao turned around, looking at the girl in front of him.

Ye Ying’s memory had no issues; before meeting He Ao, she had never been involved in any incidents and was not significant, even having only a vague impression of K.

Of course, her own peculiar nature might have brought some ’resistance’.

Buzz——

Just as He Ao was about to speak, his phone vibrated. He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID ’Ye Yun’, and directly answered.

"Minister He, right now in Nandu, there have been several sacrificial incidents of special rituals," Ye Yun’s voice came through the receiver, "I can’t get in touch with the Research Institute headquarters, nor Dean Wu and the others. What’s happening now?"

"I am temporarily taking over the Research Institute," He Ao slowly said, and before Ye Yun could voice any questions, he directly asked, "What do you think ’K’ is?"

The voice on the other end preparing to ask questions momentarily froze, falling into a brief silence.

Ye Yun somewhat knew He Ao and ’K’ and ’Hao Yi’ had certain ’connections’.

"Aside from judgments on ’K’," He Ao understood, rasping, "we are all united in opposing rituals and the advent of the Evil God. Can we reach that consensus?"

The voice hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Yes."

"Good. I now, as the deputy director of the Research Institute, temporarily authorize you to take control of all powers in Nandu and Xidu. Also, I order you," He Ao took a slight breath, "to block all suspected Evil God ritual incidents, regardless of whether the ritual is good or bad, or whom it points to."

"Understood!"

The voice on the other end immediately responded.

He Ao took a deep breath and hung up the call.

Then he turned his head, looking at Ye Ying standing dumbfounded beside him, after a short pause, he slowly asked, somewhat silently, "Do I look like a villain to you?"

Upon hearing his question, Ye Ying was taken aback for a moment, then cautiously replied, "I believe Teacher will definitely be right."

"Hmm?" He Ao was startled, then asked, "Why?"

"Because I can feel," Ye Ying looked intently at He Ao’s face, hesitated for a moment, then earnestly said, "Teacher actually means no harm to them, Teacher is genuinely considering their welfare."

"Is that so."

Hearing this response, He Ao sighed softly.

Ye Ying watched He Ao, cautiously asking, "Teacher, do we still need to go somewhere now?"

"Yes," He Ao nodded gently, looking up at the sky, "to the Tia Empire."

Woo——

A sound of a vintage train whistle rang out behind him.

······

Tia Empire

Moonlight’s leader, Jie An, lay on a beach chair, gazing at the sunset sinking into the sea, raised his hand, and yawned.

At that moment, the sound of a vintage train whistle sounded behind him.

"You actually came to see me?"

He slowly opened his mouth and said.

Soft footsteps came from behind him.

"Hmm."

He Ao stopped walking, stood beside Jie An, and also looked up at the setting sun in the sky, "What do you think of ’K’?"

"Going straight to the point, it seems you don’t have much time. Has something happened in Central Earth?" Jie An sighed, "Honestly, I don’t know what happened, but from what I remember, this one has no good intentions."

"Is there any report of suspected Evil God rituals in the Tia Empire?"

He Ao softly asked.

"Yes," Jie An slowly spoke, "and quite a few."

"Enter lockdown, monitor all events related to the Transcendent, forbid the initiation of any rituals, control anyone attempting to hold a ritual, regardless of whom the ritual is for, prevent the Evil God or its monsters from touching the real world," He Ao rasped as he spoke, "Can we reach a consensus?"

"Yes."

Jie An gently nodded.

"Good."

He Ao also nodded, as the sound of the old train vanished, his figure disappeared from the beach.

As the train’s old sound completely faded away, a figure slowly emerged from the other side of the beach,

"Leader," he looked at Jie An and spoke, "that He Ao from Central Earth, seems highly related to the Evil God ’K’. The Velora he rides belongs to that ’Hao Yi’. Him coming to us with this proposal, could it be some trap?"

"Whether it’s a trap or not, regardless of his motives," Jie An picked up the nearby wine glass and took a gentle sip, "the only thing we can do is to stop all ritual activities. Watching over this world won’t be the task of ’K’ alone."

He quietly watched the sun slowly sink into the sea, "Per our agreement, pass the orders down."

"Yes!"

The figure nodded heavily.

······

Western Lands · Yika Republic Capital · Mote City

"The Knight’s sacrificial rune is completed? Has Chichi’s team become so efficient?"

Yan Yue looked at the documents handed over by the assistant in front of her, slightly dazed, then she reached out to take the documents, placing them on the desk, "Alright, I understand."

While speaking, she picked up another document from the table, asking softly, "Is Miss Goya still in Mote City?"

"Miss Goya informed us of her itinerary in advance,"

The assistant replied cautiously, "She should be in the old church at the city center now."

"Alright," Yan Yue handed the materials to the assistant, "This is the recent World Tree Organization work report, as agreed, we ought to let her review this copy,"

She smiled slightly, "I’m bothering you to go on a trip again."

"No problem, it’s what we should do." The assistant gently nodded, reaching out to take over the file, and left the office.

As for Yan Yue, she lowered her head, gazing at the file marked ’Knight’s Sacrificial Rune’, falling into short silence.

"Miss Yan Yue," At that moment, a young staff member rushed into the room, looking up, looking at Yan Yue in panic, "According to reports from various locations, mysterious ritual groups are emerging across Western Lands."

"What?"

Yan Yue raised her head, eyes wide open.

······

The morning sunlight passed through ancient glass windows, sprinkling into the quiet church.

A maiden in pure white hooded long robes sat quietly in the first-row seat of the church, her hands clasped in prayer, head hung low, letting the morning light scatter on her like petals. Like a devout nun, she was praying.

Dong···dong···dong···

Behind her, there came the sound of gentle footsteps.

A tall young man walked through the corridor, sitting beside the maiden.

"Is there something wrong?"

The maiden slightly straightened up, opened her eyes, and strands of pure white hair swept past her eyes, revealing silver-white pupils.

"Do you trust Hao Yi?"

He Ao raised his head, looking toward the front of the church.

What was enshrined there was not some special symbolic item, but a tree lush with branches and leaves, still blooming with flowers.

Upon hearing He Ao’s question, the maiden’s expression changed slightly. She seemed to want to say something but ultimately didn’t speak, falling into silence.

In the scattered light, everything grew quiet.

"Is there something you need me to do?"

The maiden gently asked after an unknown time, speaking softly.

"If a powerful Transcendent attempts a ritual, regardless of what kind of ritual, can you stop them?"

He Ao asked softly.

"Yes."

The maiden gently nodded.

"And concerning ’K’s cult···"

He Ao slowly spoke.

"That’s beyond my jurisdiction."

The maiden gently shook her head.

As the specially appointed ’reformation director’, now the highest authority figure in Western Lands is He Ao himself.

He Ao understood the maiden’s meaning and after a momentary pause, he spoke softly, "Thank you."

Then he slowly stood, preparing to leave.

And at that moment, the maiden with white hair gently unfolded her clasped hands, opening her hand. In the middle of the crystal-clear jade-like palm, three crystalline objects shaped like blueberries appeared in her palm, "This is for you, it might be helpful."

Feeling the powerful Life Force within those three berries, He Ao paused for a moment, quietly looking at the maiden raising her hand toward him.

The entire church seemed to have quieted down at that moment, time itself halted.

Eventually, He Ao reached out, took the berries, and softly said, "Thank you."

"I hope you all remain safe."

Goya retracted her hand, once again clasping her hands, closing her eyes.

Strands of transparent white hair lowered down her fair cheeks, scattered in the morning light.

He Ao put away the three berries, prepared to turn and leave.

And at that moment, he suddenly remembered something, softly asked, "Isn’t there an elder in World Tree named, named···"

"Rudel," Goya spoke gently, "He’s been absent these two days. If I get in touch with him, I’ll convey your suggestion to him."

Previously, Rudel experienced a self-backlash, making his existence feel faint, easily forgotten.

"Thank you."

He Ao took a deep breath, once more glanced at the bright church in the morning light, turned to walk out.

The pure white maiden sat amidst scattered brilliance, silently praying.
