332: Chapter 332 Well then, mentor, best of luck!

"Well then, Mentor, I wish you good luck~"

As for her own complete disappearance in the future timeline.

That was the price she had to pay.

Amidst a terrifying, blinding glare that seared the eyes of every living creature in heaven and earth.

The web of fate, formed by the witch, tightened abruptly.

"BOOM—!!!"

The entire universe seemed to lose its voice at this moment.

When the glare dissipated, and Su Chen opened his eyes in despair.

He discovered, in disbelief.

Above the firmament.

That arrogant Cthulhu.

Along with all its insolent tentacles.

Had completely vanished without a trace.

Not only that.

That massive spatial rift, which had originally stretched like a scar between Blue Star and the Alien Demon Plane.

Had also, under this great power.

Been completely and utterly stitched shut and smoothed over.

The azure sky was revealed once more, and the sunlight dispelled the gloom that had lingered for years.

Su Chen's body flowed with the aura of the Human Emperor.

He felt the changes in the world more sharply and clearly than anyone else.

He could feel that the connection between Blue Star and the Alien Demon Plane.

Had been severed by an unshakable force.

The plane's coordinates were hidden, and the passage was erased.

In other words.

Blue Star was saved.

Great Xia was preserved.

Human civilization had welcomed a new beginning from the jaws of certain death.

Su Chen stood blankly in the void, gazing into the distance.

He could see.

The apocalyptic disasters—tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions—that had ravaged all of Great Xia and even spread across the globe.

Having lost the support of the Alien Demon aura.

Were now, at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Slowly calming down and dissipating.

The world was returning to tranquility.

However.

Standing between this devastated yet reborn world.

Su Chen did not feel a shred of joy in his heart.

What remained was only a hollow feeling of being completely drained.

Following that, a great sorrow, like a tidal wave, completely engulfed him.

He had won the war.

He had saved the world.

But all the people important to him.

As an orphan who had lost both his father and mother.

All of his beloveds, and his younger sister, Su Wanyue, the only one he could call family.

Even the witch who had crossed time and space to save him.

Were all dead.

All of them had died on this battlefield for his sake.

Moreover, the most ironic part was.

The witch who had given her life for him.

He only knew she was the president of the Huayu Association.

Only knew she was one of his investment targets, and that he had once been her mentor.

And had "shamelessly" stolen her heart, while also taking her body along with it.

Yet such a woman.

He, Su Chen, didn't even know what her name was.

Didn't even know.

"I saved the world."

"But."

"Who will save me..."

Su Chen's knees went weak, and he knelt heavily in the center of the "Great Prosperity for the World" formation.

He covered his face, his shoulders heaving violently, tears gushing out like a broken dam.

Just as he was in this state of utter despair.

And Su Chen was preparing to end his own life alone in this void.

Suddenly.

From the horizon, faintly.

Once again came that familiar.

Playful and smug, delicate laughter.

It was the witch's voice.

"Mentor~ I'm leaving now."

"Don't be afraid, and don't seek death. I understand everything you're thinking, and I will help you find it all back, oh."

"However, I hope Mentor won't forget my name this time!"

"My name is~ Christina Cassandra."

Immediately after, the familiar mechanical notification sound that Su Chen hadn't heard in a long time.

Like a great bell tolling.

Boomed deep within Su Chen's mind.

[Ding!]

[Detected order from the creator, injecting supreme power...]

[Angel Investment System, upgrade complete!]

[A new round, and also the final round of investment, has officially begun.]

Su Chen's whole body shuddered, he jerked his head up, eyes bloodshot and wide with disbelief.

It was the Angel Investment System!

The golden finger he had relied on all the way here.

However.

Why did it activate automatically without his instructions?

And.

That last sentence.

"Detected order from the creator" — what did that mean???

The system notification continued.

Every word echoed in his soul like thunder:

[Investment world for this round: Spirit River Fantasy World.]

[Investment targets: Zhuge Jinyu, Cang Mingyue, Ye Jingjun, Su Daji, Jiang Luoli, Teacher Wang Jin, Su Wanyue, Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing.]

Hearing this long list of names, familiar enough to be etched into his marrow, Su Chen froze.

Investment targets?!

Except for Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, who seemed to be new investment targets from this so-called Fantasy World.

Weren't the other seven...

Their... their souls hadn't completely dissipated yet?!

Was what the witch said true? Was there still a chance to save them?

Just as Su Chen realized what this meant.

Just as ecstasy and shock surged into his heart.

It was already too late.

He couldn't react in time at all.

And felt an irresistible pulling force surging from all directions.

His whole person, along with his soul.

Was swept into a dazzling torrent of space.

The moment he was swept into the torrent.

Su Chen turned his head with difficulty, looking down at the Divine Land.

He saw, beneath him.

On this East Sea battlefield.

The place where the six women—Zhuge Jinyu, Ye Jingjun, Cang Mingyue, Teacher Wang Jin, Su Wanyue, and Jiang Luoli—had perished.

Six pillars of light of different colors rose suddenly and without warning.

One black and white, one bright red, one water blue, one pure black, one purple, and one bright yellow!

Immediately after.

In the distant north, above the Hall of Valor in the Central China Region, and above Suochen Tower.

A bewitching pink light rose.

That was Su Daji's aura.

And in the distant south, in the direction of the misty Qiantang city, two pure and vast pillars of light rose simultaneously.

One white, one cyan.

Su Chen froze.

Could it be that the two new investment targets weren't native to that Spirit River world?

Could they also be...

The nine rays of light, like nine true dragons rising against the heavens.

Converged above the firmament into a massive formation.

Wrapping Su Chen tightly in the very center.

"Well then..."

In the last second before his consciousness was completely stripped away.

Su Chen's ears seemed to hear the witch's ethereal, gentle whisper, filled with infinite expectation.

"The fourth round of investment, has begun."

"This time, I really have to say goodbye to you for good."

"Well then, Mentor, I wish you good luck..."

The moment these words fell.

Su Chen's vision went black.

At this moment, he finally lost consciousness completely.

And vanished from this reborn world.

Before the world turned completely dark.

The Angel Investment System's cold voice echoed repeatedly in Su Chen's ears.

[The fourth round of investment, officially begins.]

[Host identity: Son of the Black Dragon.]

[The Host will carry a special destiny for this round of investment.]

[Host destiny: Civilization Observer...]
