Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

"Outer Sect Ruler? It's not impossible. In fact, with your strength, if there were vacancies for class rulers, I would recommend you to be class rulers."

Although Shiroyasha is only the class ruler of the East District, in fact, with her strength, she voluntarily came to the lower level to be a class ruler. Naturally, the upper gods and Buddhas temporarily handed over the class rulers of the lower level of the entire box garden to her for management. In other words, Shiroyasha is actually the ruler of all classes. This is the status of a strong person and one of the seventeen full-power domains of the box garden.

"Do you need to investigate further?"

"Who should I ask to inspect your community? Even I, at the lower level, may not be able to defeat you and Alger together, so why bother inspecting?" Bai Yasha rolled his eyes. Although Arcadia has fewer people now, it is still uncertain who will win or lose compared to the previous Arcadia!

After the flag of the current alliance was printed on the parchment, the power of the parchment in the center of the box garden automatically split into two, one in Li Xuan's hand, and the other flew in front of Bai Yasha.

"This is the flag of your alliance. It's a good plan."

The flag and name of a community are like a person's ID card. Arcadia is currently in an unregistered status, but with the alliance flag, it at least has an identity certificate, which makes it much more convenient to do many things.

"Are you really ready, kid? Becoming an outer sect ruler has more advantages than disadvantages." Bai Yasha said solemnly.

"The Outer Gate Ruler is responsible for managing an Outer Gate. Naturally, they have the obligation to protect the Outer Gate and fight against the Demon King. If they give up protecting the city because the Demon King is too powerful, it is not allowed."

Shiroyasha spread out his fan to shield his face. "Now that your community has shown signs of recovery, the Demon King who attacked before may attack again. And not only that, but there's also the matter of Alger. According to the rules, the community that becomes the ruler of the Outer Sect must hold a large-scale Gifting Game as a ceremony to swear allegiance to the Outer Sect. It's very likely that during this celebration, you'll encounter two waves of enemies: Greece and the Demon King."

"Perhaps you can defeat them, but at the same time you have to keep the festival running smoothly, which is no easy task."

"How do you know I'm not waiting for them? If you want to step onto the stage of the Little Garden, the threat of force is inevitable. Strike one blow in the open to prevent a hundred blows. At least in the lower levels, I won't be afraid of anyone."

Li Xuan was able to agree to Hei Tu's proposal because he had a good idea in his mind. With his extraordinary four-digit size and top three-digit strength, he didn't have to fear any enemies in the lower level of the box garden. You know, the center of the box garden has the decadent style of the double-flowered red stick, which intimidates all those who want to mess around in the box garden.

The two-digit characters dare not exert their full strength in the small garden, so the three-digit Halloween Queen is enough to match the two-digit characters. Those humans with strength close to the three-digit characters can also ignore the threat of the two-digit characters in the final trial by relying on their own characteristics.

The two-digit warriors cannot completely kill the final human trial. They can either try their best to suppress the final human trial in a short time before the decadent wind appears, or suppress their strength and serve as jailers as Bai Yasha intends. These are not what the two-digit warriors want. Why should they sacrifice themselves for the box garden?

Three-digit numbers cannot run wild in the lower level, and may even need to change their form to reach the lower level, so four-digit numbers can break the rules and compete with three-digit numbers on equal terms.

In the lower level, everyone's basic values have an upper limit. The strength that three-digit people can exert at the basic upper limit far exceeds that of ordinary four-digit people, but some four-digit extraordinary strongmen are no less inferior. They deeply explore the power of four-digit people and are no less inferior to these three-digit people who have descended from heaven to become humans.

Li Xuan truly displayed top three-digit strength with his four-digit extraordinary size. Except for the simulation of the Star Creation Map and the final trial of mankind, Li Xuan was basically invincible in the lower level.

"So this is your plan, it's good to be confident, but be careful of something unexpected happening." Bai Yasha said nothing when she saw that Li Xuan was full of confidence. She would be there when the time came, and if it was absolutely necessary, Bai Yasha could take action herself, but that would also mean the failure of the Harvest Festival.

"Don't worry, I have no rivals!"

No matter how the enemy estimated it, considering Li Xuan as a four-digit exception was already the best they could do. Li Xuan did not take the personnel sent out with such standards seriously at all.

Chapter 57: Joan of Arc's Request

"Did it succeed? Did Master Shiroyasha agree?"

As soon as Li Xuan walked into the door of the conference hall, Hei Tu couldn't wait to ask.

"Is it possible for Shiroyasha to refuse? With the strength of our community, applying for the Outer Sect Ruler position is a matter of course. Black Rabbit, you're just being too concerned."

"Rather than worrying about whether it's approved or not, let's think about how to hold the Harvest Festival. Let me make it clear, I've never done this before. It's all up to you, Leticia and Black Rabbit."

Li Xuan had only been in the box garden for a few months and had never participated in any festivals, so he couldn't be of much help.

"You're putting all the blame on Lady Leticia and me when you say that. We just dealt with Perseus's problem, and now we have to work overtime again."

Before, he was only thinking about expanding the community and forgot about the harvest festival. Hei Tu felt that his workload was simply overwhelming recently.

"Hosting the Harvest Festival shouldn't be a big problem. With the help of the members of the Perseus Community, Black Rabbit and I won't be too busy. However, there are two problems that I need you to solve, Master."

Leticia on the side had already made preparations. Unlike Black Rabbit, she had participated in the Arcadia Community Harvest Festival many times. The leader Kasugabe Takaaki did not take care of things, and the celebration was usually hosted by her and Canary. Although Canary was not there now and was replaced by Black Rabbit, it was not a big problem.

"Useless rabbit, look at you, Leticia is still useful."

Li Xuan felt deeply the necessity of rescuing Leticia, otherwise if he handed the matter over to Black Rabbit, he couldn't even imagine the result. Fortunately, Leticia was experienced in handling matters and was qualified for the position of community advisor. As expected, the main role of Black Rabbit was still a mascot.

"When the community held the Harvest Festival, I was still a child and they didn't let me participate. I have no experience at all."

Black Rabbit felt very aggrieved. In the past, she had always participated in the festival directly, so how could she know how the festival should be held.

"I forgot you just became an adult, Kuro Rabbit."

Li Xuan subconsciously applied the age of humans to Black Rabbit, thinking that she was two hundred years old and should have participated in many festivals. He forgot to calculate based on the Moon Rabbit. A few years ago, Black Rabbit was still a little Lolita and had only recently reached adulthood.

"And Leticia, do you have anything you want me to handle?"

"First, there's the matter of prizes. We need to prepare prizes for the winners and participants of the Harvest Festival. While we have Perseus's unique gift, it should only be used as a last resort. It would be better to prepare a gift unique to our community."

"The winner will be rewarded with a sacred tree, and the second and third place winners will each receive a sacred tree fruit. As for the other contestants, I'll go out and look for some plant or fruit-based gifts."

Li Xuan has already made up his mind to travel to other worlds. There should be a lot of elves and spiritual fruits as participation prizes. There are also devil fruits, which are at least a six-digit gift. For a festival of an outer sect ruler, the reward is already quite good.

"That's fine. The sacred tree and its fruit are already quite good treasures in the five-digit range. Another question is, Master, should we invite our former allies?"

After Leticia finished speaking, Black Rabbit did not dare to speak. Only Li Xuan, the leader, could make the decision on this matter.

Moreover, many of Arcadia's former allies have severed ties with Wuming and even interrupted their alliances. Li Xuan needs to consider whether it is necessary to invite these allies or former allies now.

"Let's send out invitations! Regardless of whether they come or not, we just need to fulfill our courtesy. If they come, we will naturally welcome them. If they don't come, then naturally our fate has run its course, and the next time we meet, we will just be strangers."

Li Xuan did not think that the alienation of allies and even the severance of alliances were betrayals or heinous crimes.

The most important thing between communities is interests. When they formed an alliance with Arcadia in the past, they certainly hoped that the big brother could lead them to better development. Others did not cheat or play tricks. Even when fighting against absolute evil, they followed Arcadia and were never afraid of bloodshed and sacrifice.

Now that Arcadia North has been defeated and completely declined, it is normal for other communities to seek other ways to survive. It can only be said that these communities are ruthless and cannot be called traitors. If you meet them, just pretend not to know them.

"I understand. Tomorrow I will send invitations to my former allies, inviting them to participate in the Harvest Festival in a month."

Leticia is extremely disgusted with betrayal because of the betrayal within the vampire community, and she also wants to use the Harvest Festival to see what her former allies really think.

"Okay, that's it. Let's get ready! A month is pretty short."

As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, Black Rabbit and Leticia walked out quickly to arrange the decoration of the entire outer gate, the publicity and warm-up of the festival, etc. The entire community became busy all of a sudden, except for Li Xuan and Alger.

Alger's strength has not been fully unlocked yet, and he has an agreement with Li Xuan, so he does not wander around everywhere. He only wanders around the community when he goes out occasionally. Most of the time, he uses various strange gifts to improve his appearance.

All these gifts came from the offerings of her subordinates. Alger was born in the Mesopotamian pantheon and had spent some time in the biblical pantheon. Although she was sealed for a while, she still had many loyal fans.

Li Xuan spoke to Alger and told her to keep an eye on the community. When he was about to set off to other worlds to collect prizes needed for the Harvest Festival, someone suddenly contacted him in the chat group.

Secretary Fujiwara: "Li Xuan, are you here? Jeanne has something to ask you."

Changing Doll: "This problem is indeed only Li Xuan who can solve it."

Martial artist: "What do you want from me?"

Li Xuan was completely confused. He remembered that the plot of the first chapter of "The Burning of Humanity" was very simple, and Joan of Arc should be able to pass it by just reciting the script. Could something have gone wrong?

Joan of Arc: "I want to save France."

The martial artist said, "What's going on? I saw some discussion about it a few days ago. Weren't they about to win? What went wrong?"

Shimokitazawa's Archangel: "Jeanne means that she wants to save the singularity she's in and doesn't want it to disappear."

Chapter 58: Black Zhen's Favorability Up

The martial artist said, "What do you mean? Are you going to turn the Singularity of the Evil Dragon Hundred Years War into a Lostbelt?"

The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon does not exist in the normal timeline of FGO. Joan of Arc wants the present France to continue to exist, and the continued development of the singularity will inevitably develop into a lossbelt.

Joan of Arc: "I do want the people of today to continue to exist. I don't want them to disappear like bubbles, but I also don't want to affect future history."

The martial artist said, "Lostbelts aren't a problem, are they? In my opinion, world judgment is a matter of two major restraining forces. The apparent reason for judging a world that could develop into a Lostbelt is that it has lost its potential and significantly deviated from pan-human history."

The martial artist said, "But what exactly is pan-human history? Is it a history that is unanimously recognized by the two major restraining forces? If we deviate from it, then we lose all possibility? We can only say that pan-human history is a world line that leads to the survival of both restraining forces. Ultimately, once a planet, human consciousness, or something like that, gains intelligence, self-preservation is the first prerequisite."

The martial artist said, "A world line where humans evolve? No! Doesn't that mean subspecies humans are no longer human? A new collective consciousness will replace the current Alaya. A world line where Earth loses its vitality is also not possible! The Earth won't disappear, but Gaia will."

Takizawa Rolada: "When you put it that way, the two major inhibitory forces become a complete burden."

The martial artist said, "You can't really say that. At least they've secured the lower limit of world development, but they've also locked the upper limit. Their existence has preserved humanity's past and present, but it also dooms humanity's future to an uncertain future."

Secretary Fujiwara: "We've strayed off topic. We're not here to listen to you complain about our ability to control our own strength. The question now is how we can preserve the current state of France."

The martial artist said, "Supporting a singularity isn't difficult. The Suppression Force simply uses its authority to cut off the Source's support for this abandoned parallel world. All I have to do is enter the Source and provide support to the Lostbelt's roots. The difficulty lies in separating this singularity from the main timeline to create a new timeline. In fact, this is equivalent to creating a new parallel world."

Joan of Arc: "Is it impossible to do this?"

The lazy angel addicted to online games: "You are God after all, can't you create a world?"

Gabriel also has compassion for the people of the world. Although she is lazy, decadent, and threatens to destroy the world from time to time, she is still very kind at heart.

The martial artist said: "You useless angel, you are trying to provoke me, right? I mean it's difficult but not impossible."

Joan of Arc: "Are you also God?"

The lazy angel addicted to online games: "The group leader is the God of the East. I've switched to his job now, so I have nothing to do with Gabriel now. Don't bother me anymore, okay."

Gabriel was really distressed about Joan of Arc joining the group. After Joan of Arc discovered Gabriel, she experienced surprise, faith, and the collapse of faith. Finally, she decided to reverse Gabriel's fall.

However, just a few days of preaching had already surpassed all of Vinate's previous words. This time, Gabriel must make it clear to Joan of Arc that she is no longer under God's command, and don't come to her in the future.

Joan of Arc: "Even if we have different beliefs, it is unacceptable for you to fall into such a state, Miss Gabriel. Besides, there is no guarantee that we will not be reunited."

Joan of Arc was just a village girl. She had heard some stories from the Bible from the village priest. She had faith in God, but she was not necessarily very devout. The reason why she was called a saint was because she had a heart to save the world.

Therefore, after saving the world, she planned to change her faith and believe in Li Xuan, who saved the world, to express her gratitude.

………………

As soon as Li Xuan arrived, the people present gave him a big surprise: Hei Zhen was tied up with ropes and thrown aside. Gudako and Mashu were waiting on the side with a group of heroic spirits.

"What's going on? You killed the marshal, but why is Black Zhen still here?"

"I felt that she was actually innocent, so I kept her." Gudako answered Li Xuan's question carefully. She had to be careful, because this was the big guy that Jeanne said could save this singularity.

As for why Black Jeanne survived, it was because she felt that Black Jeanne had been used as a substitute and a tool by the Marshal since she was born, which was really pitiful.

"Can just this rope be used to tie up a heroic spirit?" Li Xuan was very confused. Hei Zhen's strength was A, so an ordinary rope would be useful.

"After she learned the truth and her indiscriminate attacks were defeated, she seemed to fall into self-doubt. We only tied her up symbolically."

"Oh, so after you realized you weren't Jeanne d'Arc, you gave up, didn't you?"

"I am Jeanne d'Arc!"

Hei Zhen, who had been silent, broke down after hearing Li Xuan's words, broke the rope directly, and rushed to Li Xuan.

"Don't you want to face reality? You can call her Joan of Arc, it's no big deal, but you will never be the same person as her, and you can never become her, right?"

"I..." Black Jeanne stopped talking. All the facts before proved that she was not really Joan of Arc. Her memories, her emotions, and even her hatred were all given by the Holy Grail. So apart from these, what else did she have left?

"You doubt that you are Joan of Arc, believe that you are Joan of Arc, and force yourself to be Joan of Arc—this is the foundation of all your actions. But at its core—you are just a newborn child. You long for the support and affirmation of others."

"Caster took advantage of your desires, treating you as a substitute for Jeanne d'Arc and a tool for revenge. After seeing the real Jeanne d'Arc, he abandoned you like a piece of trash."

"So you are here to laugh at me?" Hei Zhen was very angry at Li Xuan for cruelly opening up the scars in her heart. If she could beat him, she would definitely take action.

"No, I want to tell you that since you and Jeanne are two different people, why do you need to pursue becoming someone else? Even if you have the same memories and appearance, you don't have to be her. You are you, a brand new life, and you deserve your own future."

"Yes, although you and I are similar, you don't have to be me." Joan of Arc did not have any hatred towards Jeanne d'Arc. Although Jeanne d'Arc caused great damage to France, the culprit was the marshal, and Jeanne d'Arc was just a baby who was used.

Heizhen didn't say much about Li Xuan's advice. She just walked aside silently with her head down, not knowing what she was thinking about. She only looked up at Li Xuan occasionally.

Chapter 59: Opening a New Timeline

"I wonder which god of the East you are?"

Seeing that Li Xuan and Hei Zhen had finished their conversation, the doctor, who had been silent until then, emerged. Roman had always been wary of Zhen's suggestion of finding someone to save this singularity.

Although he was very grateful for the information Jeanne had given him, including the news of the freezing of human nature after the burning of human nature, he was different from Gudako and Mashu.

He knew the difference between singularities and loss belts. Lostbelts were just parallel worlds, while singularities were part of the history of this world. One was parallel, and the other was vertical.

He couldn't understand how Li Xuan could preserve the singularity without affecting the present.

If Li Xuan can do this, everyone will be happy, but if he just develops the singularity towards the lossbelt, then Chaldea must stop this behavior.

"Taiyi or Haotian God, you can call me whatever you want."

"So you are the God King of the East." With Gudako's superficial knowledge of mythology, she could only simply understand the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

"Ritsuka, alert!"

The doctor's stern shout made Mashu subconsciously raise her shield to block Fujimaru Ritsuka, leaving Gudako at a loss, not understanding what was going on and why she was suddenly asked to be on guard.

"Doctor, what's going on? There are no enemies around."

"Mr. Li Xuan, for the sake of our friendship, please tell the truth."

"To be honest, your speech has left me confused. Is there something wrong with my self-introduction?"
