Chapter 22 Death Emblem (3)
update icon Updated at 2025/6/8 9:10:12

What's happened today? All these powerful members of Saint Veronica have actually shown up?

"I came here for official business... of course, I also came for your matter," the principal said without looking at me, but I could tell from her gaze - they all came for me!

Perhaps seeing so many people here, Lord Ancestor couldn't sit still and said, "Hehe, I wonder why all of you suddenly appeared today... hehehe, it's not all because of Paroni, is it?"

"Not at all! Lord Ancestor is overthinking..." Before Juxi could say anything, the principal started teasing first.

"I think you all have misunderstood. The Magic Sword inside Paroni's body is not the legendary Liao Xiu'er!" Juxi laughed.

"...That's not necessarily true!" The principal's eyes behind the mask revealed a hint of brightness, then she drew a giant sickle and placed it against my neck, saying, "I won't let any potential danger go!"

"Stop fighting, all of you!" Ancestor suddenly stood up and said, "The Magic Sword inside Paroni is not transformed by the Dragon of Chaos, but it comes from the power of the Death Crest, which is the half of the Crest of Hope — Order!"

Order, a crucial treaty that maintains the laws of nature! Although it cannot bestow new life upon humans, it has the power to deprive anyone of their life!

All things in the world maintain balance under the constraints of the treaty, which allows all creatures to coexist.

Order and rules exist like this in the world.

However, over ten thousand centuries ago, humans discovered this unfamiliar land for the first time and found their own tranquility here.

Of course, they were only a part of it...

As the order of the new world, the Death Crest was sealed on Earth, keeping the world forever in a state of indescribable balance and allowing the people here to have a constantly repeating but never boring new life. However... not long ago, the passage connecting the two worlds became unobstructed again, and many creatures that had already ceased to exist returned to this homeland after a long absence.

Many people and animals were looking forward to this return because they had heard some beautiful rumors about the original continent since they were young!

For example, the original continent had the most brilliant sun and the most diverse resources.

And the most important thing is the air of the original continent.

Although the vegetation on the original continent is only one percent of Saint Veronica's, the air resources are incredibly fresh and unparalleled.

Although the conjecture about the original continent was still just speculation before the gate opened, until now, it has truly arrived at the original continent...

Under human control, it is simply hell on earth here!

The towering smokestacks emit foul-smelling smoke every moment.

The human population has exceeded the limit for reproduction, causing severe pollution to other creatures that are supposed to be of the same kind!

What a pity... although the great Divine Lord gave humans more satisfaction, it forgot to teach them how to control themselves.

And on the other side... in the legendary oldest land on Earth, here, the sunlight belongs not only to humans but to all the residents on the continent!

Unfortunately, many years ago, there was a dimensional fluctuation in this space.

This directly led to the separation of the Inner World, also known as the Original Continent, from the outside world.

Even the only gateway to the Original Continent, the Aklan Gate, was closed off.

From then on, the Original Continent and the New Continent were divided into two worlds by a transparent wall.

But!

The people of the New Continent never gave up the belief of returning to the Original Continent. They continuously explored any possible ways to go back, even at the expense of the few remaining green areas on the New Continent.

However, good and evil will always be repaid, and the actions of the humans on the New Continent have thoroughly angered the gods!

As a result, the Divine Lord ordered the eradication of the humans on the New Continent...

"Yes, in order to prevent the humans from reclaiming the continent with the help of the Death Emblem, we have to isolate Paroni in this world," Ancestor explained.

However, although the Headmaster had some understanding of this, who knew that Ancestor's knowledge on these matters was on par with her own, almost leaving her unable to step down.

"There's no other way, please leave, Headmaster," Juxi said with a smile.
