The Otherworldly Girl Speedrun Containment Project

He's the one down there!

Although this report was censored and rejected 12 hours after the newspaper went on sale, from that day on, The Sun became famous and became the most authoritative newspaper in the entire Tianming Continent!

It’s still a toilet read that you must follow every issue!

It is a powerful tool for every middle-aged man to ensure smooth sex!

The Archpriest of Order, Calvaro, is naturally also its loyal reader.

Picking up the newspaper and putting on his reading glasses, Calvaro looked at the headline on the front page:

#151 points! An unprecedented highest score! Breaking a competition record that had stood for many years! This candidate boasted that he would make the Abyss Cultists wash their necks and wait!#

"Oh, so Li Cheng, that little guy, did give an interview."

Pushing up his glasses, the High Priest of Order let out a long sigh.

He watched Li Cheng's performance the whole time.

From her extraordinary talent that shocked everyone in the first round of the exam, to her unparalleled birth that ambushed the examiner, and then to her outstanding demeanor in the second round of the exam when facing the split soul of the demon dragon.

From any perspective, Li Cheng is a rising star.

A star that may shine brighter than all of them in the future.

Add to that his boundless love and noble, heartbreaking character... Calvaro has wondered more than once why Li Cheng isn't a follower of the Order Church.

If he were a follower of the Order, then Calvaro would certainly recommend him to His Holiness the Pope and make him a key figure in his training.

First, serve as a Son of God for three years to accumulate prestige, then serve as a priest for five years to accumulate experience, and finally serve as a high priest for two years to accumulate political achievements... After that, you're ready to run for the next pope.

It just so happens that the current Pope, that old man, has lived long enough; by then, it will be about time for him to abdicate and hand over the reins to a more capable person.

The Order Cult needs such extraordinary geniuses!

Calvaro wasn't the only old man with this idea.

In fact, all the legends who watched the game had pretty much the same thoughts.

At yesterday's banquet, Lady Moonlight—Archbishop Lessa of Shadow—declared after drinking that she would definitely bring Li Cheng to the Furnace Cult once he graduated.

When Li Cheng becomes the archbishop, she can simply be his secretary.

She does the work when there's something to do, Li Cheng does the work when there's nothing to do...

This was obviously drunken ramblings, but it also shows how much everyone admired Li Cheng.

Even more terrifyingly, after saying those words, Lady Moonlight was sent away by Queen Full Moon overnight.

In the Queen's words, she was worried that this shameless harlot would seduce her prospective disciple and lead him astray.

It was only at this moment that the legends gradually came to their senses—

Wait a minute, this Full Moon Queen is going to be Li Cheng's teacher!

As a result, the way everyone looked at Queen Full Moon held a more ambiguous and inexplicable meaning.

It was both envy and jealousy.

It's hard to imagine that such a rough gem was so easily won over by Queen Full Moon.

If this weren't Full Moon Academy, and if they weren't no match for the Full Moon Queen, a legendary battle for Li Cheng would probably have broken out last night—

Only the winner is qualified to be Li Cheng's teacher.

Queen Full Moon seemed to have thought of this as well, and she was in high spirits last night. She rarely attends banquets, but she stayed until almost the end before going home.

The only one who was not present was Ms. Yennefer.

That elegant lady, even at such a time, must not have forgotten her duty to guard the gates of the abyss.

Neither these legends nor High Priest Calvaro realized that just before this round of assessments began, they thought Li Cheng would gain prestige because he was fortunate enough to become the Queen's student.

Now, they've become jealous of Queen Manyue, who took Li Cheng as her disciple.

This is utterly upside down!

"Alas, what a pity, what a pity indeed. This child is not meant for me. I only hope that when he graduates, he will consider our Order Church." Calvaro sighed, then looked at the second half of the headline and murmured it aloud:

"He boasted that he'd make the Abyss Cultists wash their necks and wait... Ha, I didn't realize Li Cheng, this little guy, was so arrogant at heart. But that's normal, what kind of young man isn't arrogant?"

He smiled and continued reading. Calvaro read every news item related to Li Cheng with great interest.

But the more he read, the stranger his expression became. When he reached the end of the article, his pupils trembled and he froze.

The article ended with the following:

#This extraordinary genius revealed to us that his secret to achieving such a high score was attacking the examiner in the restroom, and his name is Hughes Dahl. Hughes Dahl of the Order of Order.#

WTF?

Seuss Dahl?

How come I didn't know my family's followers were so powerful?

Besides, isn't Hughes Dahl still lying in bed and not awake? Did he sleepwalk to the interview?

Calvaro's lips twitched. He wiped his reading glasses, still not believing it, and continued reading.

#Second place in this assessment, 40 points! Just one point away from breaking the Full Moon Queen's record!#

"Hmm, this should be Karenina's birth. I have to say, among all the candidates, only this girl can barely come close to Li Cheng's birth level."

Calvaro nodded and continued reading.

This time, his expression was even more blank.

#This second reclusive genius tells us that she achieved such a high score by stinging all her trusted colleagues, and her name is also Hughes Dahl. Hughes Dahl of the Order of Order.#

WTF?

Why is it still Hughes Dahl?

Is Hughes Dahl possibly able to split into two, take two exams, and give two interviews?

Calvaro's lips twitched, and he stubbornly wiped his reading glasses before continuing to read.

#Third place in this assessment, 14 points! A respectable achievement, albeit a defeat!#

"Well, things are finally back to normal... This should be Hughes Dahl. He and Mu are tied. Well, Hughes has actually made a good friend."

Calvaro nodded and continued looking down.

This time, his hand holding the newspaper trembled.

Even the reading glasses hanging on his face were almost shattered by the overflowing power of order emanating from his body.

#This third reclusive genius is even more remarkable. Not only did he leave the examination hall wearing only his underwear on his head, but he also claimed to be the one who caused the academy's strange tale, the "Three-Faced Monster Ball." His name is Hughes Dahl. Hughes Dahl of the Order of Order.#

Underwear pullover?

School ghost story?

Seuss Dahl?

Could it be that not only did Huxdale split into three, but one of them also put his underwear over his head and accepted the interview?

It's hard, the fist is hard.

Flames burned in the eyes of the High Priest of Order, Calvaro, and with a sudden burst of strength, the newspaper in front of him was reduced to ashes.

"A third-rate newspaper, this is absolutely a third-rate newspaper!"

On the same day, a reporter from another third-rate tabloid published a news article based on a report in The Sun.

#Legendary candidate Hughes Dahl, first attacked the chief examiner in the men's restroom, then dressed up as a woman to lure the police during the exam, then caused the college's weird talk "Three-faced Strange Ball" to kill half of the candidates, and finally rushed out of the exam room with his underwear on his head! #

#This boy defies heaven! #

#Five-star reviewer Mike commented: It's not that I can't afford the formal exams, but Chusheng Dongxi is more cost-effective. #

This eye-catching report spread throughout the Tianming Continent and the Abyss Realm in a short period of time.

With such a great reputation, I'm sure when Hughes Dahl wakes up and finds out about it, he will smile with happiness.

-

On the other side of Hyperion Castle, candidates arrived one after another.

A swirling portal appeared in front of the candidates.

Stepping through this gate, they will travel to the vanished previous era.

As for which world or history is waiting for them behind that door, it is still unknown.

Queen Full Moon stood behind the examinees, her hands behind her back, looking at the vortex gate with a complicated expression, and closed her eyes.

For some reason, she felt somewhat uneasy.

She was still pondering whether Li Cheng was truly a reincarnation of the person she remembered...

Chapter 98: The Full Moon Queen's Heart is in Trouble

The Gate of the World Tree - this is the name of the third round of assessment, and it is also the general term for all the secret realms connected to the previous era.

According to legend, the World Tree is a large, winding, spiral banyan tree, and on each of its branches are fruits called "World Bubbles".

All the major events that occurred in the previous era, and even in the era before that, that affected the course of history were sealed in those "world bubbles".

There are many such doors in Tianming Continent. If you open it, you can travel into history and witness everything that happened in that period of history.

If you complete the tasks given by the World Tree, you will be blessed by it. That is the power of the origin of this world, and it is a precious treasure that neither the gods nor the abyss can give you.

However, in the tens of thousands of years of history of Tianming Continent, there are only a handful of people who have been able to receive blessings from the World Tree.

Most people in those world bubbles are doing their best just to survive.

In addition, there is a saying that has been circulating on the Destiny Continent -

There is a kind of people who are born to be the creators of history.

Everything they did in the world bubble had long since become fixed in history itself. The world today is just the butterfly effect produced when people flap their wings.

However, this statement has not been widely recognized by scholars in Tianming Continent, and may just be a groundless urban legend.
