Chapter 774: Chapter 1 Clear Conscience, the Sun Rises in the East (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to Everyone!)_4


Sister’s heart let out a scream of despair.


Xu Shu could not hear this sound.


Because his attention was fully on the upgrade interface.


The message was sent neither by Bai Sanxiang nor Tang Ying.


Neither had replied, unknown if they hadn’t seen the message, or if they hadn’t yet emerged from Quenching Road, or perhaps had already... Xu Shu didn’t continue to ponder deeply.


The message was sent by Wuxin.


She asked, "My task has been completed satisfactorily. I wonder if Comrade Xu Shu has arrived safely?"


Xu Shu replied, "Thanks for your concern, comrade. I have arrived safely!"


Wuxin said, "That’s great! I’m glad the Lord is always with you. I’ve been busy recently. In a few days, I’ll arrange to meet with you again. At that time, I would like to formally invite you to join Star Group, to become an official member. I hope, considering my wholehearted dedication to you, you can give me some face?"


Xu Shu smiled.


You’re morally blackmailing me, can I even...


Can I even agree to you?


"Sure, definitely next time!"—Xu Shu replied.


"Waiting for your message!"—Wuxin.


After waiting for a moment, Xu Shu’s gaze suddenly fell on the suffix of the other person’s name.


He remained silent for a while, then typed, "Master Wuxin, there’s something I am uncertain whether I should ask."


Wuxin said, "Things that one is uncertain of whether to speak about are generally best left unsaid, but you are a follower of my Lord, and I am my Lord’s most loyal servant. You can simply call me comrade, as we are as close as sisters with nothing to hide. Please speak, comrade."


No, I’d prefer if we were like brothers...


Xu Shu carefully phrased his query, "I would like to know your true purpose for doing this... not just an excuse, the real purpose beyond the oracle you mentioned."


Wuxin replied quite candidly, "In fact, there should be no purpose beyond the oracle, but I do have a small personal wish, haha, saving a life is better than building a seven-story stupa, and now I have saved countless lives, equivalent to constructing five million stupas, my virtue is complete."


"As I expected..."


"Master, your virtue is complete! We will meet again if we are destined."


Xu Shu looked at the suffix behind Wuxin’s name and smiled.


[Wuxin, Fourth-Order Rakshasa Ming King!]


Undoubtedly, the "private wish" Wuxin spoke of, the other purpose beyond the oracle, was to advance to the Fourth Realm!


"It seems that in reality, advancing to the Fourth Realm and becoming a demigod half-human is not as simple as the legends suggest, but requires some kind of ceremony, or a medium, like a complete Divinity..."


"Uh, actually, it’s not that easy in the legends either, except for Zhu Wu who just lies flat, I almost lost my life every time I advanced..."


"It seems that if I want to advance to demigod in reality, I will have to put in a great deal of effort."


Xu Shu gave a wry smile and shook his head.


As for Wuxin’s answer, he actually wasn’t surprised; it seemed quite reasonable to him.


Regardless of her true motives this time, at least her act of saving people was genuine, objectively real, and beyond reproach.


Moreover, compared to the "City Lord" like Ning Baishou, who grew up feasting on the blood of the entire city, and who acted like a demon after eating—a wolf in sheep’s clothing—


Wuxin, who came from the Cult Star Group, could not be called a white lotus, but was akin to a saint reborn.


She mentioned five million stupas... this meant that in the end, just over seven hundred thousand people successfully walked out of Quenching Road, successfully survived...


Out of more than two million people, seven hundred thousand lived, over one million four hundred thousand died.


Those were real, vivid lives, lives yearning for survival.


Xu Shu savored these words, silently contemplating in his heart.


In chaotic times, human life is as cheap as grass; a phrase seemingly light but also unbearably heavy that eventually found its way to Xu Shu’s heart, leaving him with nothing but silent mourning and a slight comfort.


At least he still had some power to protect his family.


But it was far from enough.


He looked out at the deep night, his gaze unwaveringly settled on his own "Level 34," on the "Yin God" seal within the Tai Chu Scroll, and on "Today’s Opening Count 0/3" of the Tai Chu Scroll, his eyes gradually became Fiery as Fire.


After showering, Xu Shu lay on the sofa, taking his backpack from his sister who looked at him oddly, while Alice was taken by her as a pillow.


The night passed without words, only the faint and steady sound of breathing reverberated in the room.


Xu Shu counted his inventory all night, touching the still-warm Purple Curse Crystal in his Storage Bag, he closed his eyes to rest and carefully planned his next steps.


In an unfamiliar land, even if it appeared bustling and calm, he could not possibly sleep, just rest lightly.


Fortunately, a sleepless night was nothing to him, he was still brimming with energy, and the next day he rose spiritedly as always, with the blanket lifting a high tent above him.


Accompanied by the premature crowing of the rooster in the darkness for a full half hour, the east finally showed a glimmer of dawn’s light.


The thick morning light brutally tore the skirt of the night, filling the entire empty earth.


[Sunrise in the east, all things revived, welcome back to the Tai Chu Scroll, great master!]


[Today’s Opening Count: 3/3]


Xu Shu opened his eyes, looked towards the void with a calm heart, and his lips gradually curved into a smile.


Dawn has arrived, all is as usual!
