The Platypus Chronicles... Never mind, let's move on.

The Ring of Truth spent years painstakingly crafting a super forbidden spell, but the spell went out of control, razing the entire Mage Tower to the ground. Even today, that place still harbors countless potential sources of radiation. According to alchemists' measurements, it will take at least 15,000 years for the radiation to dissipate to a level harmless to humans. But to say he's truly dead? Probably not...

The Demon of Burning is truly dead. He was lawless and thought himself invincible. He burned and killed the young emperor, slaughtered a city by himself, and ultimately forced various countries to take action. He was surrounded and killed.

The last sorcerer to be deified was named Wang Qiushui, the one who pursued immortality with Mingxuan Hou. Suddenly, she and Mingxuan Hou vanished without a trace, never to be heard from again. However, some conspiracy theories suggest she is still alive. Because she was a renowned spatial mage, and because her spatial magic had never been leaked and no one else had ever learned it, she was even believed to be an ancestral alien race disguised as a human in order to seek true immortality.

Characters who didn't achieve godhood through martial prowess either had a tragic old age or a heroic or tragic end. But they were almost always confirmed dead, unlike those who achieved godhood through martial prowess, for whose fate was almost impossible to confirm.

The girl with the bun glanced at it twice, and the shopkeeper happened to see the part about fear. She exclaimed excitedly, "I know that! The first time they summoned a meteorite, and the second time... they probably used spatial magic to teleport everyone away!"

The shopkeeper nodded and smiled, "The strange thing about this is that no one in the world has ever been able to bring down such a large meteorite. Secondly, there's the bizarre disappearance—it's hard to say whether it was spatial magic or not..."

He exhaled slowly, and amidst the swirling smoke, he smiled, his eyes narrowing.

"This matter is also closely related to Wang Qiushui. Some people even suspect that she is fear, that she is the ancestral alien race... Unfortunately, the timing doesn't match up."

Chapter Thirty-Five: Gazing at the Autumn Waters

Grand Duke Warner, one of the founding dukes of the Seven Luminaries Empire.

The Seven Luminaries Empire was founded not long ago, and the entire country has only existed for a little over a hundred years. The power structure at the top of the country has changed hands several times. However, the Warner family, as one of the founding dukes, has always stood at the pinnacle of this country.

But recently, the family has encountered a fatal crisis.

That is... there are no male offspring.

"Sigh..." Ruoye flipped open her general card and sighed deeply. Sitting opposite her was her crony Luoshui—it was Luoshui who had arranged for Zhong Hongyu and Fu Feihan to go along with her on the midterm commission.

There was no doubt that the two were playing cards, but Ruoye kept looking worried.

"You should play cards with a smile." Luo Shui casually flipped open her character card. "Come on, give me a smile... What's with that long face?"

"My parents got this news from who-knows-where, saying I have a boyfriend..." Ruoye sighed. "They must have lost their minds. I don't have a boyfriend at all, and they're even telling me he should marry into their family..."

The direct heirs of the Warner family in this generation are Ji Fa and Ruo Ye. One is a martial artist and the other is a magician. Both of them entered the Royal Academy on their own merits, and their abilities are quite good, but... they are both women.

Women can certainly inherit the family business, but there always needs to be an heir. So, marrying out is out of the question, meaning there has to be a lucky man who marries into the family... or an unlucky one.

Ruoye and Jifa's father also clearly understood that while his two daughters had some abilities, they were probably not capable enough to inherit the entire Warner family and lead it to prosperity. Therefore, he wanted to attract a capable person to marry into the family and eventually inherit the Warner family.

—In the Southern Qin, bloodlines are highly valued. An outsider who wants to inherit a family is dreaming and has nothing to do with it. Even the highest-ranking son-in-law is not a high-ranking member of the family, and his status is actually lower than most people imagine.

But the Seven Luminaries are different. Compared to bloodline, they value the inheritance of assets more. If you come to my family and inherit my family's things, then you are one of my family.

As Ruoye looked down in dejection, she glanced at Luoshui's military officer card.

It was a woman wearing a golden mask, sitting regally in the sky, her posture dignified.

[The God Gazing at the Autumn Waters]

Era: Ancient

Stamina: 4

[Investiture of the Gods]: (omitted)

【Teleport】: Locked skill. When you use cards, there is no distance limit. When other characters calculate their distance to you, it is always increased by 1.

【Swift Assault】: When you take damage, you gain a Swift Mark. Before a character’s preparation phase begins, you may discard a Swift Mark to give that character an extra draw and play phase. You can only have one Swift Mark at most.

[Teleport]: Once per turn, you may discard x+1 cards and lose x-1 health to choose two other characters and swap their positions (i.e., swap positions of different characters). x is the number of times this skill has been activated in this game.

(No matter how fast I go, no matter where I go, I can never catch up with the time and life that have passed...)

In the game "Time and Space Kill," the Age of Gods refers to the period from 4,000 to 3,000 years ago, the Ancient Era refers to the period from 3,000 to 292 years ago, and the Modern Era refers to the period from 292 years ago to the infinite future.

Why divide it this way?

The Age of Gods needs no explanation; it was the first alchemical revolution three thousand years ago, which implicitly marks the beginning of antiquity. The key point is that it was two hundred and ninety-two years ago, in that year...

The Time-Traveling Killer Company has appeared.

Yes, the "Time and Space Kill" game divides ancient and modern times according to this method, which is clearly unreasonable. But there isn't a clear definition of ancient and modern anyway. Even if there is, it's usually specific to a particular country, which is still a mess. Because when some countries entered the modern era, others hadn't even existed yet...

Time Wars is a global game, and a unified global standard is obviously impossible. So, in the end, they decided to set their own standard... but a game can't be taken too seriously.

Some might suspect that Wang Qiushui is actually Fear, because Wang Qiushui's spatial magic is indeed powerful, making him the only person capable of accomplishing the second thing Fear did. However, this is easily refuted because Wang Qiushui is an ancient military general, while Fear is a modern weapon... or rather, Fear only became the progenitor of the Thirty-Six Tribulations alien race in modern times by relying on the Mu family ancestor, which doesn't match up in time.

Unless there are other hidden secrets involved, there are many speculations among the people, among which the fear-based mastermind theory and the clown-based mastermind theory are the most popular.

Who knows?

Ruoye sighed and said, "Boyfriend... Speaking of which, my sister is much older than me, she's already 25, why don't you let her find one?"

Luo Shui responded with "Mmm-hmm," and was about to look up at Ruo Ye's warrior. But as soon as she raised her head, she saw a terrifying figure standing outside the opposite window, like a gecko-like homeroom teacher who used to lurch against the window in high school...

Ruoye was also extremely frustrated, and now she seized the opportunity to vent: "Maybe Mom and Dad have given up, thinking my older sister is going to never get married anyway. So they simply gave up on her. That's normal. If I were a man, I wouldn't want my sister either. She's so annoying, always nagging me..."

Sweat dripped down.

Luo Shui swallowed hard, her body stiffening, and said, "Oh... that's not quite right. I think Teacher Ji Fa has many good qualities..."

At the same time, she frantically made eye contact as if her eyes were twitching.

But Ruoye didn't see it. She seemed to have hit a nerve, improvising a line, clearing her throat, and speaking in a chanting tone: "The goddess bestows three abilities upon everyone: intelligence, understanding of Hime-fu, and love for Hime-fu, but each person can only possess a maximum of two at a time..."

"A person with a brain who understands Jifa would not like Jifa."

"A person with a brain who likes Jifa cannot understand Jifa."

"Anyone who understands and likes Jifa must be brainless."

After Ruoye finished speaking, she felt that she was truly talented, like a nocturne descending from the heavens, a masterpiece of nature. She proudly said to Luoshui, "How about that? Am I amazing?!"

Luo Shui remained expressionless and did not respond.

Ruoye sensed something was wrong. At the same time, a hand pressed on her shoulder, and a huge shadow enveloped her body... and her heart.

Sweat dripped down.

Ruoye remained silent, then turned around and saw a sinister smile. It was her older sister, a twenty-five-year-old woman.

Ruoye smiled proudly, showing that everything was under her control. She turned her head and said...

"Luoshui, save me! Quickly go to the Western Paradise and ask Ancestor Zhong Hongyu for help!"

"Oh, I suddenly remembered I still have a Black Dragon King at home that I forgot to feed. I'm off now, bye-bye, goodbye!"

Luo Shui displayed professional-level teammate betrayal skills, scrambling away as if he were tumbling.

Jifa pressed down hard on Ruoye's shoulder. How could a little mage possibly resist a martial artist at this distance?

Ji Fa took a deep...deep breath.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Life is a Nightmare

'The supreme imperial twins have arrived at their faithful thrones today.'

'The two unparalleled experts encountered some trivial trouble.'

'A loyal Time-Traveling Killer player is in trouble'

Players who are less skilled start to talk tough.

'The loser in the competitive game is getting crushed'

'Those lackeys from the Imperial Household will never rise again.'

The story above is a long one.

With summer vacation approaching, students had all left the Royal Academy, leaving the board game store almost empty. Ying Qin Guan was doing alright, dominating with his "God of War" game. But even though Jiu Yi was bad at it but had a huge addiction, he couldn't stand it anymore. So he suggested they go to a board game store outside; since there was no one at school, there would definitely be people outside.

The purity of the Qin Pass is extremely high, so there is nothing wrong with it.

So the two of them found a board game cafe nearby... When they first arrived, they were incredibly arrogant. One was the dean of the Seven Luminaries Imperial Academy, and the other was a martial arts instructor. Although Jiu Yi spent his days doing nothing, his social status was actually extremely high. The Seven Luminaries Empire only had one Imperial Academy, and the highest leader of the empire's highest institution of learning was a figure that ordinary people could never even come into contact with in their entire lives. So when these two arrived, they boasted loudly, saying things like...

'When I was born, voice cards all over the world were calling my name, Jiu Yi!'

"My infamous reputation for perfect card sequences with absolutely no foreshadowing is known to everyone from Ouma to Seven Stars!"

Then, the two joined the game.

—Then the scene at the beginning of this chapter occurred.

Soon the students of the Royal Academy will find that their principal and Teacher Ying have lost face outside the school.

Ying Qin and Jiu were also deeply humiliated. After discussing it, they decided that while a common man's anger could lead to bloodshed, a true man should not suffer such humiliation. It was time to make the world feel the pain. Therefore, they made their decision...

—Back at the board game arcade in the Royal Court, let's continue with the 1v1.

-

In mid-July, the weather gradually became hot.

For various reasons (poverty), the Yorozuya did not have air conditioning, making the noon and afternoons particularly difficult. Shinshin, being a heartless person, picked up a small blackboard and declared, "Since I'm just killing time anyway, I'm going to the board game arcade at the Royal Academy to enjoy the air conditioning," before running off.

Yu Xietian let out a deep sigh. Actually, he also felt there wouldn't be many guests, but what if there were...?

Just in case...

just in case..

Yu Xietian watched the sun move westward, watched the sun set, and watched night fall.

"Okay, no 'what if'."

He shook his head, thinking that Shenxin would probably just have dinner at the Royal Courtyard anyway, and was just about to grab something quick when... the doorbell rang.

Shenxin never rings the doorbell; in other words, only guests ring the doorbell!

Yu Xietian's spirits lifted, realizing that his afternoon's wait had indeed been worthwhile; opportunity favors the prepared. Excitedly, he opened the door and said, "This is the Yorozuya (Everything Shop), I'm the owner, Yu..."

Upon seeing the person outside, he quickly switched to Mu Nandong's face.

The people outside were not the guests he had imagined, but his eldest and second fathers, namely Shen Xin and Ying Qin Guan. Shen Xin was being held up by the back of his collar by Ying Qin Guan and hung in mid-air, looking at Yu Xie Tian with a smirk, while Ying Qin Guan looked annoyed.

When Shenxin arrived at the board game hall in the Royal Court, she was naturally welcomed by Ying Qin Guan and Jiu Yi. The two of them swiped their cards for her and treated her to a meal. However, when they played cards, Shenxin, who was the runner-up of the Alluring Cup, showed no mercy and beat the two of them mercilessly. This action made the narrow-minded Ying Qin Guan furious and embarrassed. In the end, he dragged Shenxin to the Yorozuya.

"Give me my money back! The card games at the board game parlor, plus the food, it all amounts to—"
