My Notoriety Spreads Throughout the World

Chapter 739 - 650: League’s End, Blank Script

She originally thought that at most only the God of Killing Changqing from Queen’s Armament had reached the Prism Tier. Considering that apart from Chichu Chun at Fourth Tier, everyone else in the Light Chasing Garden is at the Fifth Tier, there should still be an angle to break through.

All members being at the Prism Tier, Xu Xiaoyou found it hard to imagine how they managed to achieve this.

She had been leveling up to the greatest extent possible, and due to using the "Superdimensional Projector," her speed of improvement in reality was unrivaled, yet this progress seemed somewhat inadequate when placed in Oasis.

Even the fastest to upgrade, Bai Youyou, was still quite a distance from reaching the Prism Tier.

Is it the Superdimensional Projector?

No...

She had met Jian Liu, and the feeling he gave her, if she had to describe it, was like an utterly ordinary person—one thin figure disappearing down the streets of the Star of Art when the crowd passed through.

Obviously, he didn’t have the conditions to use the Superdimensional Projector; such a genetically linked artifact couldn’t possibly be commonplace. She believed there might be a second person in Oasis who had used it besides her, but to claim there were more than five Superdimensional Projectors in Oasis was absolutely impossible.

"Chairman Xu," Jian Liu said, "I think you must have many questions at this moment."

"Yes." Xu Xiaoyou interrupted, "I do have many questions."

"What confuses me the most is your attire today."

Whether it was Witch God Continent, God of Killing Changqing, Madman Lan, Medical Immortal Yaoyao, or even Amy, they were all dressed too formally in uniform black and white ceremonial suits, as if not participating in the upcoming finals but attending some solemn funeral.

"Miss Xu." Jian Liu’s address changed, becoming unusually cold. "Withdraw from the competition."

"Do you think that’s possible?" Xu Xiaoyou retorted.

"Because this is a battle without suspense. Some things can’t be changed with mere passion. You should know very well what having five Prism Tiers means. With the current strength of the Light Chasing Garden, there’s absolutely no chance of opposing Queen’s Armament."

"The battle will end in the thirtieth second after it starts."

Xu Xiaoyou frowned slightly.

Jian Liu’s tone was calm as if stating a fact. Her intuition told her he wasn’t exaggerating, yet she had a strong premonition that he was lying.

"This competition, perhaps from the start, should never have existed." Jian Liu’s voice turned mechanical and cold.

"We invited you here, hoping you would drop out of the finals."

"As fellow members of the Dawn Society, we can share this Key."

"Sounds nice," Xu Xiaoyou said coldly. "If so, why don’t you withdraw and allow us to win the championship instead of pompously seeking me out to say this."

"Queen of Hearts," Evergreen Ivy spoke, "we mean no disrespect, only wish you could compromise in this aspect."

"This is very important to us..."

"Then let me hear the reason," Xu Xiaoyou sneered. "The must-have reason."

Tiger Tail Orchid clicked her tongue, anxious and about to speak, but Evergreen Ivy stopped her, signaling her to remain silent.

Medical Immortal Yaoyao, sitting on her cane, watched the scene with interest and seemed disinclined to speak.

"Because we are seeking variables while avoiding their occurrence as much as possible."

The mechanical voice echoed above the hall, Jian Liu at that moment like a cold judge.

"Queen of Hearts, if you choose to forfeit the match, we can reveal deeper truths to you. But if you persist, only you will be able to personally unveil the curtain of truth."

"Are you playing riddles with me?" Xu Xiaoyou looked at Jian Liu, who faced her expressionlessly.

"I’m avoiding variables."

Dead silence flowed in the solemn atmosphere, time ticking away second by second.

"Nothing more to say?"

Xu Xiaoyou’s words concluded the negotiation, the faces of the four from Queen’s Armament shifted slightly, and Jian Liu’s mechanical expression returned to calm, a complex look shifting in his eyes, swallowed by deep black.

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoyou turned to leave, walking away from the throne, the sound of her boots striking the ground echoing through the vast hall.

"Xu Xiaoyou."

Jian Liu spoke the girl’s real name for the first time.

Xu Xiaoyou’s steps slightly paused, the first time hearing anyone call her by her real name.

"I’ll give you a phrase."

Jian Liu spoke as the girl turned back, a look of near astonishment in her eyes.

"Some people died and truly died, remembered by none."

"Some people died, and their stories only truly began."

"Do you remember what Evergreen Ivy gave you?"

"The seed to summon Daylight City."

"Take care of it; it’s the only key."

Xu Xiaoyou noticed Jian Liu’s lips move as if saying something blocked by light. The young man’s last word echoed in her ear.

"Goodbye."

The static scene shattered.

She found herself on the competition stage, surrounded by the deafening chatter and excitement, the host’s passionate voice, the cheers of the audience echoing in her ears.

The world’s attention was focused on this place.

Xu Xiaoyou gazed around in a daze, the experiences looming over her mind making her question the reality of the previous scenes, or if they were just illusions.

She remembered visiting a hall before the match, but forgot why she decided to go or how she got there.

Noticing her off state, Bai Youyou frowned and approached, "What’s wrong with you?"

After months of preparation, they were in their best condition, all for tonight’s final battle.

Xu Xiaoyou shook her head.

"Tonight has risen like Yaoxing!"

Ince gripped the microphone tightly, facing the audience from around the world.

"The much-anticipated Cross-Authority Challenge will conclude tonight; who will the laurel of the Key fall upon?"

"Will it be the veteran top team, Queen’s Armament, or the emerging super dark horse, Light Chasing Garden?"

"The victor will bask in ultimate honor, endless wealth, power, and status, and this Key capable of changing the world brings much more than that!"

"Believe me, the Key represents far more than the ownership of Oasis; it’s the key to opening the door to a new world."

"What kind of ending will justify this tumultuous journey?" Ince’s voice rose, "Let’s wait and see!"

*The crowd erupts with cheers*

"Are they keeping us in suspense? Queen’s Armament’s entire team concealed their levels; I’m beginning to look forward to tonight’s development." Ince’s voice lifted.

Xu Xiaoyou suddenly felt her heartbeat accelerate, her blood flowing through her veins.

She looked across the pure white space at Queen’s Armament, who seemed to be strategizing, their alert posture making Xu Xiaoyou question everything that happened before.

What just happened, was the vision of everyone at Prism Tier really just her illusion?

What’s happening to her?

Jian Liu’s words echoed again in her ears.

"The battle will end in the thirtieth second after it starts."
