Chapter 401 Nine Realms: Faiz World
Blade World, the Sealed Land.

Within the dark and oppressive space of the stone tablet, a deafening roar suddenly resounded, and the long-dormant seal finally began to loosen.

With a violent shaking, a dazzling light burst forth from the stone tablet, followed by a series of cracking sounds.

A body completely encased in stone gradually revealed its true form—it was Kenzaki Kazuma.

Stone chips fell away one after another, and Kenzaki Kazuma slowly opened his eyes, the light in his eyes gradually changing from chaos to clarity.

He raised his head, his gaze falling on Qian Qiao, who had also just regained consciousness, and another figure.

Inui Takumi stared silently at Kenzaki Kazuma, his eyes filled with extremely complex emotions.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The Hollow King has not been truly destroyed, Kenzaki, do you still want to continue this kind of battle?"

Kenzaki Kazuma stared at him coldly, his eyes filled with undisguised anger and grief.

He slowly raised the Emperor's Sword in his hand, the blade pointing at Qian Qiao: "You two, get out of this world right now."

These words echoed like thunder in the place sealed by the stone tablet, and the sense of oppression in the air suddenly increased.

Qian Qiao's body trembled slightly, then he turned into a gray flame and disappeared into space.

The other silent figure stared at Kenzaki Kazuma for a moment, a complex emotion in his eyes, before finally turning away without a word.

With their departure, the entire Blade world seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden, and the long-suppressed atmosphere gradually dissipated.

In an instant, the massive, desolate planet began to rapidly recover, the sky gradually cleared, and vibrant life reappeared on the ground.

Meanwhile, the Orphnochs of the Faiz world returned to their own world after Takumi Inui's departure, and the Blade world finally returned to normal.

Kenzaki Kazuma closed his eyes slightly, savoring the long-lost freedom and peace. Then, in a flash, he entered the Mirror Hall where the Knights of the Nine Realms were gathered.

Inside the Mirror Hall, Onoue Takuma, along with Tendo Souji, Tsugami Shoichi, and Hidaka Hitoshi, stood quietly, as if waiting for his arrival.

Kenzaki Kazuma looked at Onoue Takumi with a somewhat tired expression, his tone full of sincere gratitude: "Thank you so much this time. You've been protecting the Blade world for me all this time."

Onoue Takumi waved his hand: "No need to be so polite. How are you feeling now? Are your injuries serious?"

Kenzaki Kazuma stretched his body slightly and shook his head gently: "He will recover after a period of rest, it's nothing serious."

He then turned his gaze to the silent Tendo Souji and Tsugami Shoichi, his expression becoming unusually grave: "Regarding Inui Takumi and that guy, they did indeed betray us, even leading to the death of Godai Yusuke."

Upon hearing this, Tendou Souji and Tsugami Shoichi, though their expressions were complex, did not show excessive surprise. Clearly, they had been somewhat prepared for this.

Hidaka Hitoshi, standing to the side, slowly raised his head: "The Hollow King has not yet been completely destroyed. There are more important matters to be resolved at the moment. Let's put this matter aside for now."

Kenzaki Kazuma paused slightly upon hearing Hidaka Hitoshi's words.

Hidaka Hitoshi had always been gentle and tolerant, but the powerful aura he displayed today surprised Kenzaki Kazuma.

Seeing that Tendou Souji and Tsugami Shoichi did not seem to object, he could only nod helplessly and stop asking questions.

Onoue Takumi calmly surveyed the surroundings and slowly said, "Now that the Blade world is safe and sound, my next journey will be to the Faiz world, where there seem to be more mysteries to be solved."

Hidaka Hitoshi nodded thoughtfully, then gently reminded her, "Even if you possess the power of pure goodwill, I think there's no need to be too confrontational with Inui Takumi. His situation is probably more complicated than we imagine."

After hearing this, Onoue Takumi remained silent for a moment, then slowly nodded in agreement.

After a brief exchange, Takumi Onoue returned to his café. Just as he stepped inside, he heard a familiar and cheerful voice calling out, "Takumi!"

He looked up and saw Sento, Ryuga, Misora, Tsukasa Kadoya, Yusuke Onodera, and others standing at the door to greet him.

"Why are you all here?"

Ryu patted his chest happily: "Of course we're here to welcome you! We've been back for a while now!"

Zhan Tu then picked up the conversation: "A Qiao, you always make us worry before you come back. You really need to change this habit."

Misora ​​chuckled and leaned closer, taking Onoue Takumi's arm: "This time... we should be able to set off, right?"

Kadoya Tsukasa stood to the side with his arms crossed: "Now that you're back, shouldn't you prepare to set off for the next world?"

Onoue Takumi looked at Kadoya Tsukasa, smiled and nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

While the group was talking, the humanoid puppets stood quietly to the side. The old woman who was the female councilor of the Extreme Fox World looked at the group with a complicated expression.

"The next world will be the Faiz world, right?"

Onoue Takumi and Kadoya Tsukasa slowly raised their hands at the same time, exchanged a glance, and then began to release the dazzling light in their hands in perfect unison.

As their powers intertwined, a magnificent curtain of aurora appeared before them in an instant.

The dazzling aurora borealis was gentle and serene, enveloping the coffee shop and photo studio, gradually leading everyone into a time tunnel.

"Then, let's go!"

The next instant, the coffee shop and photo studio disappeared with the radiant curtain, and they swiftly and smoothly embarked on their journey to the Faiz world.

The sense of space flowed and intertwined like the tide, and as the light and shadow constantly changed, everyone's vision gradually became clearer.

When Takumi Onoue regained consciousness, he was shocked to find himself in a completely unfamiliar yet exceptionally vast academy.

Looking around, the entire campus is filled with a youthful and peaceful atmosphere. The trees are lush and green, and the wind gently brushes against your face, carrying the faint fragrance of flowers and the freshness of grass.

The coffee shop and photo studio are right next to the school.

However, what surprised him most was that he was wearing a neat school uniform.

The Western-style school uniform was neatly and elegantly tailored, with a slightly faded collar and a school badge pinned to the chest. Everything seemed both strange and familiar.

"Uniforms?"

Takumi Onoue muttered to himself, then turned his head and found that Tsukasa Kadoya, Sento, Ryuga, Misora ​​and the others beside him had also changed into the same uniform, and their faces showed surprise and confusion.

Around them, groups of students strolled leisurely past, chatting and laughing, looking no different from ordinary high school students.

However, Takumi Onoue keenly noticed that these students seemed to lack the vitality and energy that normal human beings should have, instead exuding a strange coldness and indifference.

Orphnochs. Yes, all the students in this school are lives that have passed away, returning to the world as Orphnochs.

At that moment, a figure suddenly entered Takumi Onoue's line of sight from afar.

The man held a thick document in his hand and walked slowly and calmly toward Ogami Takumi.

His eyes were gentle yet tinged with hesitation and nervousness, as if he had countless words he wanted to say but couldn't easily express them.

It's a timber yard.

"Takumi Ooue said in a low voice, a complex emotion welling up inside him."

Yuji Kiba quickly stopped in front of Takumi Onoue. He looked up at Takumi Onoue's face, his eyes revealing an undisguised excitement and nostalgia.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak, his brows furrowed slightly, as if he was wondering how to express his feelings.

In that moment of silence, a familiar voice broke the awkward atmosphere.

"you"

Everyone turned to look, and Inui Takumi slowly walked to Kiba Yuuji's side, his gaze on Kiba filled with complex emotions.
She sighed softly, saying with a helpless yet gentle tone, "So, you still can't forget the original A-Qiao in your heart."

Upon hearing Inui Takumi's words, a clear hint of shyness and struggle flashed in Kiba Yuji's eyes.

He lowered his head, his voice becoming weak and conflicted: "I just wanted to confirm whether he is the Ah Qiao I've been waiting for."

The air on campus seemed to freeze for a moment.

Takumi Inui slowly turned around, his expression icy and indifferent, and walked step by step toward Takumi Onoue.
Every step seemed to carry heavy pressure and implications, as if burdened by countless past experiences and pains.

Onoue Takumi stood quietly in place, his gaze gentle and calm as Inui Takumi gradually approached, without the slightest hesitation or tension, as if he were waiting for a predetermined outcome.

The two were finally only a step apart, their eyes meeting and colliding in mid-air!
It's as if you want to see through the other person completely, yet there's a hazy mist around it, making it difficult to truly understand their innermost thoughts.

After a long while, Qian Qiao slowly raised his hand, and a dark gray flame suddenly appeared between his fingers.

The flames burned quietly, as if carrying some hidden anger and sorrow. His gaze was icy, and without hesitation, he enveloped the gray flames over Takumi Onoue's entire body.

The fire spread instantly, the gray flames engulfing Takumi Onoue's body and continuing to expand, creating a terrifying sight.

Onoue Takumi didn't move an inch, not even furrowing his brow. His expression remained calm and composed, as if everything was under his control.

Seeing this, Qian Qiao frowned slightly, a strange emotion flashing through her mind, and said in a deep voice, "Aren't you going to dodge?"

Onoue Takumi gently countered with a question in a voice so gentle it was impossible to refuse: "Why are you avoiding it?"

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Qian Qiao's eyes. He remained silent for a moment, then finally just snorted coldly: "You should leave this world as soon as possible. Stop wandering around here and go straight to the next world."

After saying this, Inui Takumi didn't look at Onoue Takumi again, turned around and left on the gray flames.

His silhouette appeared lonely and resolute, as if he were deliberately concealing something, and he gradually disappeared at the end of the campus.

Meanwhile, in a coffee shop on the other side of the campus.

The old woman who had followed him all the way from the Blade world sat in the corner, her face gloomy and unpleasant.

She held a steaming cup of coffee, but seemed completely uninterested in tasting it. She was just lost in thought, her eyes revealing deep weariness and frustration.

After a while, the door of the coffee shop was gently pushed open, and Takumi Ogami calmly walked into the room. His gaze swept across the corner of the coffee shop, and he couldn't help but pause slightly when he saw the figure of the old woman.

"You are...the Speaker of the Council?"

Ooue Takumi opened his mouth with a hint of surprise.

The old woman raised her head, a complex emotion flashing across her face, and shook her head coldly: "That's right, it's me. Your good apprentice Jinghe has indeed taught me a lot of lessons."

Her tone was clearly sarcastic and dissatisfied, but even more so, it conveyed an indescribable bitterness and helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Onoue Takumi's tone was somewhat comforting and reassuring: "Keiwa just did what he thought was right, and he didn't have any real malice in his heart."

A flicker of sadness crossed the old woman's eyes. After a moment of silence, she finally whispered, "I know."

Onoue Takumi slowly approached the old woman, quietly sat down opposite her, and looked at her with a gentle and sincere expression: "Everyone makes mistakes. The important thing is whether you can face them with equanimity. Now that you have left that wrong world, it is time to try to walk a new path."

At this moment, Onoue Takumi's appearance overlapped with that of the prophet from back then.
The silent old woman left quickly.
She didn't dare look at Onoue Takumi.
As she stepped outside the coffee shop, a faint yet exceptionally dazzling data glow suddenly emanated from her body.

She was slightly taken aback, raised her palm, and saw an exquisite and complex wisdom diagram appear in her palm.

She gazed at the light and shadow within the wisdom diagram, and suddenly, a vast and boundless multiverse unfolded before her eyes, with the coordinate axes of countless worlds constantly flashing and changing.

"This is... a wisdom map left behind by the prophet? Why is it generating data reactions in this world?"

The old woman murmured to herself, her inner shock beyond words.

Just then, a young and aloof figure slowly appeared in front of her.

“A thousand years ago, I entrusted the entire metaverse to your management. However, your performance has greatly disappointed me.”

The young man's voice was like a sharp blade, striking the old woman's heart and causing her to shudder, her face turning pale instantly.

"you"

The old woman stared at the young figure before her with a face full of fear and confusion, her lips trembling slightly, but she couldn't utter a single word.

It was as if a floodgate, which had been forcibly buried deep within her heart, was being opened little by little, and countless long-sealed memories were surging and impacting her heart.

The indescribable sadness, regret, and long-lost warmth intertwined into a complex and unbearable torrent of emotions, leaving her almost breathless.

As she trembled and slowly reached out to touch the young figure, his image blurred and vanished from her sight like smoke.

The old woman's fingers passed through the void, leaving only coldness and loneliness.

"prophet."

When she came to her senses, the wisdom diagram in her hand was still shimmering with gentle light, quietly floating above her palm.
