You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Just how much Aunt Rosa trusted me?

Yuri thought to himself, suddenly feeling that his efforts last night hadn't been in vain.

They are not only bound by fate, but now the "Empress" also owes him a favor.

At the same time, Yuri also noticed two things:

Firstly, Rosalia's ability to detect lies likely stems from her soul magic, such as observing the slight wavering of the other person's soul when they are lying.

If Yuri understands the principle, he might be able to overcome this with targeted practice.

Secondly, Rosalia's true value is not some vague concept of time travel.

Her unique ability to manipulate souls might help her destroy or seize the position of "The Fool"...

030 Is taking the civil service exam considered a profession?

Fool.

The only card in the 22 Major Arcana that is not numbered.

It signifies the beginning of all journeys and also represents the end of all travels; it is the initial card symbolizing the "infinite possibilities of destiny".

In Goddess of the End, "The Fool" is the second identity possessed by the game's protagonist.

The protagonist ostensibly plays the role of a "traveler" traveling around the world, constantly getting involved in various incidents, and earning praise from everyone after resolving the disputes.

However, in secret, he is the originator of the world's most powerful secret organization, "The Final Ritual," and is plotting the end of the world with the members of the secret society.

This was certainly not his intention; the idea of ​​a protagonist causing chaos and evil in a pay-to-win mobile game is too abstract.

The protagonist's dual identity as both good and evil is purely a matter of necessity, because—

The "Fool" who created the "Final Ritual" is actually an evil god sealed inside the game's protagonist!

Because it became a container for sealing the true form of the evil god.

Even if the protagonist is unwilling, their fate is intertwined with that of the people in the "Final Ritual".

Because evil gods exist in a soul state.

Yuri realized that Rosalia, who was proficient in the mystical arts of the soul, might be the only one in the world capable of completely destroying the "Fool."

Or perhaps, it was someone who stripped her from the seal and placed her into another container.

……

……

……

"What are your plans for the future?" the boy asked absentmindedly.

Rosalia's voice returned to its icy tone: "I will challenge the advancement trial again in ten years."

"Duojiu?"

"Ten years from now," Rosalia said calmly.

Yuri asked, puzzled, "Is it really necessary to prepare for so long? Even if you fail, you can just send the remnants of your soul back to the past, right?"

More importantly, the timing of the promotion ceremony is also important, and the opening of singularities is related to the zodiac and other things.

If we miss this opportunity, it's questionable whether we'll be able to participate in the advancement trial again...

If the Nine Star Singularity cannot be activated again after ten years, it means that Rosalia will be stuck at the eighth rank forever.

The Grand Duchess raised an eyebrow and said disdainfully, "Of course there are limitations to going back in time. What are you thinking?"

My soul is now mixed with a lot of impurities, and based on past experience, it will take at least ten years to fully digest them.

In other words, I won't be able to try soul resonance for the next ten years.

Even this has been investigated thoroughly. Is being older an advantage...? Yuri thought to herself.

Rosalia frowned slightly, her eyes sharp, and said, "Little Yuri, are you thinking something very rude?"

"No..." Yuri coughed awkwardly.

"I will try to restart the trial in ten years, but the prerequisite is... that I can live to see that day."

Hearing her say that, Yuri turned his head in surprise, only to find Rosalia staring straight at him with a bewitching and mysterious smile.

"If the Child of Prophecy fails to save the world, then I won't live to see that day, will I?"

"Stop mocking me," Yuri muttered. "You know perfectly well that I'm not the true child of prophecy."

“I’ve already said it, I’m not interested in who the real savior is; the only one who is is you.”

Rosalia poked the boy's forehead with one finger: "But little Yuri... you actually plan to save the world in place of the true Child of Prophecy, right?"

Yuri frowned. "Why would you think that?"

"Because I can't sense any obsession with the savior in you."

The "Empress" gazed at the young man with her deep, abyss-like eyes: "If I were in your position, I would probably hate that genuine person who took everything from me to the core. That should be human nature."

However, little Yuri was completely different... It's truly unbelievable.

Yuri: "..."

Perhaps because she was still very weak, Her Highness was less alluring and more aloof today, and her purple pupils were dull and gray.

Just as the boy was about to get up and say goodbye, telling her to get some rest today, Rosalia suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Yuri, I will do everything in my power to support you for the next ten years," she solemnly declared.

"Why bring this up all of a sudden?" Yuri asked, puzzled.

"So... if something happens to me in ten years, I'll leave Cecilia in your care."

Those beautiful grey-purple eyes were filled with a mother's sincerity and pleading, which moved Yuri deeply.

Even a ruthless politician like Rosalia would humble herself before a boy younger than her daughter for the sake of her child.

"No problem, we're in this together, aren't we?"

“You’re right.” Rosalia released his hand.

Yuri paused for a moment, then decided to reveal his true intentions: "Very well, I'll be frank—Your Highness, I intend to help you advance to the ninth rank."

Rosalia was stunned at first, then a genuine smile of joy appeared on her face.

"Thank you, I'm so glad you said that, Yuri."

Hehe, then we'll all have to try our best to live another ten years. If I can still start the advancement trial by then…”

Rosalia suddenly felt a heat coming from somewhere on her body and couldn't help but lick her lips.

Ten years from now...

Little Yuri will grow up to be a very outstanding man.

It's both something to look forward to and something to be impatient for.

“Not ten years from now, but right now.” Yuri said solemnly. “Your Highness, you cannot miss this opportunity. You must advance to the ninth rank now.”

"?"

Rosalia blinked, looking a little bewildered, as if she had misheard.

Yuri is serious.

How could he wait until ten years later? By then, Teacher Dafei's body would be completely cold!

Even if the game's protagonist doesn't do anything to me, Miss "Fool" definitely won't let me off the hook!

Perhaps it was his recent experience training witches that caused the boy to develop some kind of occupational hazard.

Ugh, you women are all such a worry...

Yuri could not tolerate Rosalia, whom he regarded as his most important support, for being complacent and remaining stuck at the eighth rank during the ten years of his (Yurifis's) prime.

How dare you write "preparing for civil service exam" in the occupation column of a dating application?

You get to work right now!

“We’re going to challenge the Nine Star Singularity this weekend,” he said.

Rosalia was dumbfounded: the boy's relaxed tone was as if he were saying, "Hey guys, let's go to the foot massage parlor after get off work, it's on me."

"Do you even know what you're saying?" The blonde noblewoman's expression was solemn, her voice cold and clear, like the dead of winter.

Yuri remained unmoved: "Of course I know, and I'm with you this time too."

The first-tier player to enter a nine-star singularity usually receives some bonus rewards. If I'm lucky enough to draw a good skill, I can become a combatant too.

Reality isn't a game where you can just click your finger or mouse to run any dungeon.

The Tier 8 advancement dungeon is a once-in-a-decade event that cannot be repeatedly accessed and offers generous rewards. If you miss it this time, you don't know when you'll be able to encounter it again.

Additionally, in the game, when entering a singularity with a significant level difference, the character will receive a powerful buff, namely the Goddess's Blessing, to compensate for any shortcomings in strength.

He continued, "You failed to advance to the ninth rank before because no matter how outstanding the 'Empress' is, there can only be one person."

But now things are different—you still have me, the "fool." The boy proudly put his hands on his hips.

Rosalia's stunned expression was less one of surprise and more one of speechlessness.

Her impressive breasts heaved violently—the Grand Duchess said coldly after taking a deep breath.

“I’m telling you, little Yuri… don’t you even understand the most basic situation?”

The Nine-Star Singularity, which allows advancement to the ninth rank, is a trial limited to a single individual, and only one person is permitted to enter at a time.

"The one who doesn't understand the situation is you, and all the other eighth orders."

Yuri patiently explained the specific settings regarding the nine-tier advancement in "Goddess of Revelation".

There is no strict requirement of "limited to one person," but rather it is stipulated that "the total rank of all those who enter shall not exceed that of the singularity itself."

Rosalia frowned slightly: "So, what's the essential difference between the two interpretations?"

"The only singularity that allows advancement to the ninth rank is the eighth... uh!?"

The Grand Duchess's shoulders trembled slightly, her purple eyes widening in shock.

She immediately realized that the difference between the two explanations was enormous—
