It's so hard being a hero!

The group exchanged glances, and although they were still somewhat unconvinced, they finally gave up.

"Alright, then let's go to the Nebula Mountains to train for three months first."

Olivia breathed a slight sigh of relief when she saw that they had finally relented.

She turned to look at Sofia.

"Sofia, what about you?"

"Olivia asked."

What are you planning to do?

Sofia was silent for a moment, then looked up and into Olivia's eyes as she spoke her thoughts.

"I'm going to Zhenmo Pass, in my personal capacity."

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the several people changed.

Lilia was the first to react and grabbed Sophia's arm.

"You, you're going alone? You say we have no practical experience, but do you have it?"

Noah also frowned.

"Sophia, you may be powerful, but that's a battlefield, full of demon armies."

"Let me finish."

Sofia raised her hand to signal them to be quiet, and then continued speaking.

“I’m different from you. I have extensive practical experience and know how to survive in that kind of environment. Moreover, with my current strength, I am qualified to go.”

Noah opened his mouth, but found himself unable to refute it.

The facts told them that the gap between them and Sofia was indeed not small.

Merkel did not rush to dissuade her, but instead looked at Sofia with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Sophia, have you been to the Demon Suppression Pass before?"

Sophia thought for a moment, then nodded.

“My teacher took me there.”

Merkel stared at her for a few seconds, then turned to look at Olivia.

The two exchanged a glance, as if they were discussing something in silence.

Finally, Olivia sighed, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and resignation.

"If you want to go, we won't stop you. With your abilities, you are indeed qualified to go to the front line."

She looked at Sophia and added another sentence.

"But you have to promise us one thing: fight if you can, run if you can't. Don't be reckless, and don't get yourself killed."

Sophia nodded.

"I know."

Olivia said nothing more, turned and gestured for Noah and the others to follow her.

"You guys, come with me to complete the registration procedures for practical training. Since we've decided to go to Zhenmo Pass in three months, let's start preparing now."

The five followed Olivia. After a few steps, Lilia turned back to look at Sophia, her eyes filled with worry, but she said nothing and turned to follow.

Sophia stood there, watching their figures disappear at the end of the corridor before turning her gaze away.

She turned and walked in another direction.

She went into the pharmacy laboratory and found Evelyn sitting behind the workbench, holding a test tube and preparing some kind of pale purple potion.

She heard footsteps, glanced at Sophia, and then seemed to realize something.

"Judging from your eyes, I feel like you're here to say hello. Are you planning to go to the Demon Suppression Pass?"

Evelyn asked very directly.

She naturally knew about the big event that had happened at Zhenmo Pass.

Sophia was not surprised that she would find out.

"Yes, I just decided."

Evelyn put down the test tube and remained silent for a moment, as if she was considering something.

After Sophia came to her side, she didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Is the Demon Clan's sudden large-scale attack related to Lilith?"

Evelyn did not shy away from the question.

She thought for a moment, then shook her head.

Not entirely.

Her tone was calm.

“My mother was indeed pushing for this, but this large-scale invasion was mainly spearheaded by the God of Darkness.”

Sophia frowned.

"The God of Darkness himself has intervened?"

"Ah."

Evelyn nodded.

"The demons are originally followers of the God of Darkness. Although my mother is the God of Desire, she is a subordinate god of the God of Darkness in the pantheon. This invasion was led by the God of Darkness, and my mother was just taking advantage of the situation."

Sophia fell silent.

She quickly processed this information in her mind.

No wonder the pressure on the front lines is so great; it turns out even the God of Darkness has intervened.

If that's the case, then the nature of this war has completely changed.

The demon invasion was not for the purpose of plundering resources, but rather for some deeper religious purpose.

Seeing her silence, Evelyn added another sentence.

"But don't worry too much. Although the God of Darkness is powerful, he will not descend directly to the mortal realm. The demons themselves will be the ones to take action."

Sophia nodded.

Of course she knew that.

Gods cannot easily descend to earth; this is the rule of this world.

Even a false god like Lilith can only indirectly intervene in the mortal world through believers and altars.

"how about you?"

Evelyn asked a question.

When are you planning to leave?

Sophia thought for a moment.

"Let's do it first thing tomorrow morning."

Evelyn looked at her for a while, then raised her hand, revealing a monster storage device, and handed it to Sophia.

"Here are some potions I've concocted, all sorts of them. Take them with you, you might need them."

Sofia did not refuse.

"Okay, thanks, I'll be going now."

Evelyn smiled.

Sophia took the fanny pack and turned to leave the lab.

"Hey, Dad."

Evelyn suddenly couldn't help but shout.

This sound stunned Sophia for a moment.

She didn't get to hear Lyra call him "Dad," but she did get to hear Evelyn call him "Dad" first.

She turned around, looked at Evelyn, and smiled helplessly.

"You called out so suddenly, I didn't know how to answer for a moment."

After saying that, she disappeared from Evelyn's sight.

Evelyn gave a special smile; she had wanted to call Sophia that for a long time, but had always hesitated.

I blurted it out of concern.

After leaving the lab, Sophia went to Tianfeng City and greeted Xiangyun.

Author's Note on the Launch of Chapter 121

Sigh! I've finally gotten it published, but the readership on Qidian is still small, and the results aren't great. Of course, it's also possible that the protagonist I wrote doesn't fit the mainstream perception of a protagonist.

However, I think that the protagonist's identity as the savior and the hero means that he cannot judge things from the perspective of humanity and the nation. At least his character has never been broken.

I will try my best to finish writing it, and I hope you will continue to support me after it is published. Thank you.

Chapter 122 Supporting the Demon Suppression Pass

Holy Spirit Empire, City of Divine Punishment.

The Holy Spirit Empire is one of the five major human empires on the Starfall Continent, ranking third in overall national strength, and is located to the west of the Delos Empire.

Tianqian City is the human main city closest to Zhenmo Pass.

At this moment, groups of human cultivators were constantly emerging from the teleportation plaza of the Heavenly Punishment City.

After a wave of teleportation light dissipated, a silver-haired girl wearing black leather armor appeared on the platform.
