Houchu’s voice gradually softened amidst the sound of rain, bit by bit painting the picture of Tai Xuanzi’s past schemes for Su Fu.
When he finished, he suddenly turned his head, looking at Su Fu with utmost seriousness and said:
“Su Fu… get some proper rest.”
“Sleep for a while.”
“Everything… will be fine.”
As his words fell, he unfurled the angel wings behind him. Snow-white feathers spread through the rain as Holy Light rippled outward like gentle waves.
Su Fu stared blankly. The light wasn’t dazzling; instead, it felt like a soft, tender veil.
Her long lashes trembled slightly, as if she had finally let go of all her strength.
After a long moment, she whispered:
“Mm.”
In that final instant, she heard Houchu say softly:
“We’re all here.”
Yes, everyone was here.
The next day, the rain cleared and the skies brightened.
A torrential downpour that had swept across all of Kunlun finally began to subside at dawn.
The rain passed, the sky cleared, the azure heavens were washed clean, and the mountains appeared even more lush and verdant.
When Su Fu woke, she still felt a bit dazed.
She sat by the bedside for a long while before getting up and walking to the window of the main pavilion.
Pushing open the window, the mountain breeze rushed in, carrying the damp freshness of morning dew.
Just then, a light patter of footsteps sounded from behind, followed by an exclamation of delight:
“Big sister! You’re awake!”
It was Tao Tao, holding a cup of spirit tea that steamed with warmth and exuded a fragrant medicinal aroma.
Her eyes sparkled as she scurried over.
“Big sister, drink some spirit tea! You got soaked in the heavy rain yesterday. This tea can dispel the cold and warm your meridians.”
“Drink it, so you won’t get sick.”
Su Fu smiled and reached out to ruffle Tao Tao’s fluffy little head.
The little girl’s hair still had a few green leaves woven into it, vibrant and fresh.
“Thank you, Tao Tao.”
She took the teacup and drank it all in one go. The moment she set the cup down, Tao Tao suddenly threw her arms around Su Fu’s waist.
Tao Tao buried her head in Su Fu’s embrace, her voice muffled as she said—
“Big sister… you scared me to death yesterday!”
“Boo hoo hoo… I thought you didn’t want me anymore…”
Su Fu was startled, feeling Tao Tao trembling in her arms from fear.
Her heart suddenly softened beyond measure.
“How could that be?”
She said softly, her palm gently patting Tao Tao’s back.
“I’d never abandon Tao Tao.”
“Really?” Little Tao Tao looked up from her embrace, blinking as she gazed at her.
“Of course it’s true.” Su Fu affirmed.
“Hiss hiss~ Exactly!”
Chesia slithered out of the Thorn Ring and coiled around Su Fu’s wrist, also looking rather shaken.
“You’re much better now.”
“Yesterday, with you like that, I didn’t even dare to speak!”
She paused, then raised her head high, flicking her tongue out and putting on a fierce expression.
“Don’t be sad anymore!”
“From now on, I’ll support you with all my might. We’ll slaughter all those great clans and false gods!”
“Then open the Divine Realm Gate.”
“And let Tai Xuanzi, that old… ahem, that old immortal, make a grand, glorious return! Wouldn’t that be wonderful?!”
Su Fu thought: ‘Master isn’t old at all!’
“Oh, right!” Tao Tao suddenly remembered something, she ran over to the desk, picked up a scroll, and handed it to Su Fu.
“Later, in the middle of the night while you were resting, Principal Murphis and Master Yan came by.”
“Master Yan asked me to give this to you.”
Su Fu took the scroll.
It felt somewhat heavy in her hands.
She unrolled it and discovered that it wasn’t a painting at all, but rather a…
A genealogy chart of the great clans, filled with countless densely packed names, families, and a web of intricate relationships.
The key figures of the Seven Great Clans, their spheres of influence, and even their weaknesses and the crimes they had committed—all were marked out with crystal clarity.
Chesia coiled on Su Fu’s shoulder, her snake eyes wide as she hissed:
“Holy crap! Master Yan is amazing!”
Tao Tao tried her best to recall Master Yan’s expression and tone at the time, “The Master said.”
“This matter is difficult, but no matter what you decide to do, he will support you unconditionally.”
Su Fu’s fingertip traced the ink marks on the genealogy chart, and suddenly she smiled.
“Leave it to Master Yan.”
That scroll from before was just a small appetizer.
But this one now… was the true main course.
At this point, all preparations were complete.
After a full night’s rest, Su Fu’s mental state had recovered to full vitality.
It seemed that Houchu, that kid, was truly a gifted healer in that regard.
Since her spirit was fully restored, there was no need to wait any longer.
She put away the list and stood up.
“Big sister, where are you going?” Tao Tao was just sipping her spirit tea and jumped in surprise at the sight.
But Su Fu just smiled. “Don’t worry.”
“I’m just going to do what our ancestor once did.”
For the first time, she regretted not simply eliminating the Seven Great Clans back then, instead of leaving them for later, waiting for their foundations to crumble.
So what if a thousand fingers point in accusation? So what if she bears a villainous name?
Looking at it now, showing mercy to jackals is cruelty to oneself.
Fortunately, this time, not a single one of them would escape.
Central Star System · Primordial Temple.
The seats that once held five gods now held only four.
“Amaterasu… she’s really dead? Killed by Su Fu?” Indra’s voice was dry and hoarse, utterly refusing to believe the news he had received.
“Without a doubt!” Ra, the Sun God, had a grim expression. “I can no longer feel Amaterasu’s Sun Divine Fire. I’m afraid it has been completely extinguished.”
“And not only that—her body and soul were utterly destroyed, without even a wisp of residual spirit escaping!”
“How is that possible?” Tyr, the War God, found it hard to believe. “Amaterasu commanded the concept of the sun, and on top of that, she had the [Takamagahara Divine Domain] and three great Divine Artifacts boosting her power. How did Su Fu manage it?”
“Didn’t she just step into the Solo Corporeal Realm?!”
They knew exactly how powerful Amaterasu was.
She had even managed to survive Tai Xuanzi’s pursuit. How could she possibly fall to Su Fu this time?
“But this time…” Indra closed his eyes. “We’ve waited all night, and she never came back.”
“We sent people to search, and found nothing at all.”
There was only one explanation. Amaterasu had been completely erased.
And moreover, wiped out cleanly without a trace.
After a long silence, Ra murmured: “I have a bad feeling about this…”
“Tai Xuanzi’s gone, and now the Chinese have produced someone even crazier?!”
“Don’t forget, Su Fu is already in the Solo Corporeal Realm,” Tyr the War God interjected, his face grim. “That’s the pinnacle of the human cultivation system. In other words…”
“A god among humans.”
His voice tightened. “And she’s even more…”
“Crazy.”
The room fell into sudden silence.
Gods were immortal because their concepts endured forever. But Su Fu had slain even the sun itself!
If she truly came to settle the score… who could stand in her way?
Suddenly, Tyr gritted his teeth and said: “Let’s contact the God of Destiny.”
“Ask it to intervene and divine a path to survival for us!”
The gods’ expressions changed drastically, and the temple fell deathly silent.
Contact that enigmatic, unpredictable God of Destiny, whose every transaction demanded an enormous price?
Unless absolutely necessary, they would never willingly provoke that existence.
The cost was simply too great.
But if they didn’t…
Amaterasu couldn’t even escape with her residual soul…
Su Fu would never let them go.
At the same time · Council Hall of the Seven Great Clans.
Even more panicked than the gods were the Seven Great Clans.
Ever since Shin Fujiwara died yesterday, the clan heads and core elders of every family had rushed over in secret, like birds startled by the mere twang of a bowstring.
At this moment, they were all engulfed in unprecedented terror.
The elders’ faces were deathly pale, their eyes sunken and bloodshot. Clearly, none of them had slept all night.
No one dared to close their eyes, terrified that the next second Su Fu would appear before them and slaughter them all!
The younger disciples were even more restless and uneasy.
“Shin Fujiwara is dead! Amaterasu is dead too!”
“She was a true god! She couldn’t even escape?!”
“Su Fu isn’t going to come kill us, is she?!”
“Definitely. Tai Xuanzi died at the hands of the Five Gods Dawn.”
“In other words, that means she died at the hands of the great clans!”
“The entire clan system is her enemy!”
“What do we do?” Someone asked trembling. “Should we run?”
“Run? Where could we possibly run to?”
“A bunch of cowards! Su Fu is just one person!”
Verdanti suddenly erupted, shouting at the panicked crowd.
“What are you afraid of?! There are so many of us—can’t we take on just her?!”
“If she dares to come, we’ll all attack together. We’ll bury her in sheer numbers!”
Just then, someone timidly raised their hand and projected the latest Stellar Net hot search:
“Wait, something… doesn’t seem right.”
“Take a look—”
The projection showed a headline highlighted in red, along with a blurry video:
[Oh my god! Footage captured of an unknown massive fleet heading toward the Central Star System! What’s going on?! (HOT)]
In the footage, against the pitch-black backdrop of space, a fleet of warships blotted out the heavens, tearing through the starry vault.
Trails of deep blue flames cascaded like a river of milk, bearing down on the core region of the Central Star System!
The comment section was already blowing up.
[It’s Su Fu! Kunlun! The Chinese!]
[Oh my god, with a fleet this size, are they planning to plow through the Central Star System?]
[Terrifying! Not even a single insect would survive!]
[…]
The members of the great clans felt their heads buzz as darkness closed in before their eyes.
Su Fu… is coming?
Has she lost her mind?
She actually brought an entire fleet and came straight for them!
