27: My Lord, I am an ordinary high school girl.

Ultimately, Su Ke Ke made a decision.

She would not explore the coordinates of that mysterious star map.

She knew very well and understood clearly.

Anything that a 7th-tier Sky Demon would consider a treasure and hide away meticulously.

The monster lurking behind it would be at least 7th-tier.

With her current peak 3rd-tier strength,

Rushing in blindly would be nothing short of delivering takeout to that monster.

A few days later.

On the rooftop of Jiangcheng City Center's tallest building.

The evening breeze ruffled the girl's hair.

Su Ke Ke stood by the railing.

Overlooking the brightly lit, bustling steel forest of cars.

Who would have thought that just a few months ago,

She was merely an inconspicuous, bullied high school girl in Jiangcheng City.

Struggling painfully every day with her studies and bullying.

But now,

Because of the mysterious 'System' in her mind,

She had risen to become a deity wielding the authority of disaster, revered by the state machinery.

This feeling of being in another world.

Made her feel a little ethereal, yet also a little intoxicated.

A steady sound of footsteps came from behind her.

Su Ke Ke didn't turn around; she knew who it was.

Gu Tiancheng, in a crisp military uniform with general stars on his shoulders, walked up beside her.

He also looked at the night view in the distance, his expression solemn, with a hint of genuine awe.

"Miss Su," he said in a deep voice, "I represent the Great Xia Country's Supreme Executive Council to convey a resolution."

"Speak."

Su Ke Ke's voice was very soft, carrying an unquestionable authority.

"After seventy-two hours of uninterrupted emergency meetings and deliberations by the council,"

Gu Tiancheng took a deep breath, his tone becoming extremely solemn.

"We have unanimously decided to establish the Great Xia Country's sole, officially recognized and protected 'New Divine Cult' with your existence as its core. We will build temples for you, compile doctrines, and proclaim your divine name to the entire country and even the world. You will become the beacon of faith for human civilization in this era."

Founding a religion, deifying!

Behind these four words.

Was the most thorough and complete submission of a powerful nation with over a billion people and nuclear weapons.

To an individual!

A ripple flashed in Su Ke Ke's eyes, but it quickly returned to calm.

She didn't speak, just listened quietly.

Gu Tiancheng had anticipated this.

From his briefcase.

He took out a parchment document sealed with wax and handed it over with both hands.

"And before you become that beacon, some insignificant dust needs to be cleared away."

Su Ke Ke took the document and broke the wax seal.

The contents were printed in the coldest, most official Song typeface, detailing the outcomes.

["Resolution regarding the handling of Zhao Lei, a teacher at Jiangcheng Seventh Middle School, Li Na, a student, and others."]

"1. Zhao Lei, former math teacher at Jiangcheng Seventh Middle School."

"Due to serious dereliction of duty, malicious guidance, and psychological abuse,"

"He posed a potential threat to our country's 'important strategic target,' and his actions were defined as 'endangering national security.'"

"After a secret trial, he was sentenced to life imprisonment and was escorted to the First Secret Prison in the Northwest yesterday to serve his sentence."

"2. Li Na, former student at Jiangcheng Seventh Middle School."

"Conspiring with others to long-term engage in personal insult and violent bullying against the 'important strategic target,' the circumstances were extremely severe."

"Considering her minor status, she is exempt from criminal punishment."

"Effective immediately, she will be sent to the 'Kunlun Mountain Special Behavior Correction Center' for indefinite ideological and behavioral reshaping, and is forbidden from contacting the outside world for life."

"3. Li Jianguo (Li Na's father), former Deputy Director of the Jiangcheng City Education Bureau."

"Used his authority to shield and condone, interfering with judicial fairness."

"After thorough investigation, he was found to be involved in multiple treasonous corruption and classified information leakage cases."

"He was executed three days ago under the 'Red Top Secret Regulations,' his family's influence was uprooted, and all illegal gains were confiscated to the national treasury."

"4. Other participants in the bullying."

"All were ordered to withdraw from school, and an irreversible serious blemish was recorded in their files."

"Their direct descendants for three generations are forbidden from participating in any civil or military service selection."

Each outcome of the handling.

Every word was damning, and every punctuation mark reeked of blood and fire!

This was no longer punishment.

It was an annihilating purge, in the name of the state, against several mortal families!

Su Ke Ke calmly turned over the document page by page.

The names and faces that once haunted her nightmares.

Now appeared so pathetic and ridiculous on this cold document.

She closed the document, handed it back to Gu Tiancheng, and nodded slightly.

"Alright."

One word, heavy as a mountain.

Gu Tiancheng looked as if he had received a great pardon, and his straight back relaxed a few degrees.

Su Ke Ke had no objection to the plan of founding a religion and deifying.

She looked at Gu Tiancheng.

And made a request that even this iron-blooded general was taken aback by.

"But before becoming a 'god,' I want to be Su Ke Ke one last time."

The girl's voice was exceptionally clear in the night wind on the rooftop.

"This is my tempering of the mortal heart."

She wanted to return to Jiangcheng Seventh Middle School.

Back to the place that held all her humility and pain.

And also witnessed the starting point of her destiny's turn.

To complete her final period as an ordinary high school student.

Gu Tiancheng froze for half a second, then immediately stood at attention and saluted solemnly:

"Understood! Your will is the supreme command! We will clear all obstacles for you and ensure your 'heart-tempering' journey is pure and undisturbed."

Thus, the next day.

When Su Ke Ke stepped back into the gates of Jiangcheng Seventh Middle School.

The scene before her made her feel a little dazed.

The uneven playground from her memory, which always flooded when it rained.

Had become a brand new blue plastic track.

The exterior walls of the teaching building were repainted, as clean as new.

Even the toilets, which everyone used to avoid and which perpetually emitted strange odors.

Now had air conditioning, disinfectant, and lavender air fresheners.

"Have you heard? Our school has been selected as a national pillar education base! The principal and the entire leadership team have all been replaced! The new principal, they say, is a vice-ministerial level official parachuted in from the capital!"

"Yeah, even the old security guard at the school gate, who was older than my grandpa, has been replaced by young sentries. You don't know, the way they were carrying loaded guns, it was just too damn exaggerated."

"The most outrageous thing is the cafeteria! Yesterday I got a serving of braised pork, my god, the taste was absolutely Michelin three-star! Later I found out that the school invited the national banquet kitchen team!"

"Oh my goodness, the graduating seniors are going to cry with envy..."

The students chattered excitedly, their faces filled with both excitement and bewilderment.

And when Su Ke Ke walked into the classroom.

All the chatter ceased abruptly.

Sunlight streamed through the bright windows, falling on the girl.

Gilding her with a soft golden edge.

She was no longer the girl who always kept her head down, her eyes darting away.

Her back was straight, and she wore a genuine smile.

Her clear eyes swept across the class, open and confident.

That reborn demeanor.

Made everyone who knew her, or didn't, in the past.

Feel a mysterious shock.

"Ke Ke! You're finally back!"

A clear voice broke the silence.

Zhang Wei, the cheerful girl with a ponytail, rushed over and affectionately linked arms with her.

"You wouldn't believe it, these past two weeks you've been on leave, the school has been on fire!"

Su Ke Ke smiled.

Letting her friend chatter on, sharing the school's strange happenings.

She knew.

All these changes stemmed from herself.

The Great Xia Country was demonstrating the power of mundane authority to her.

In the most extreme and thoughtful way.

During lunch break.

Zhang Wei pulled her to the newly opened milk tea shop.

Su Ke Ke took out a pure black, unmarked card from her pocket and handed it to the clerk.

When the clerk swiped the card.

The POS machine emitted a crisp beep signifying "unlimited credit."

The incredibly shocked clerk was speechless.

Her heart was singing, "May I ask the heavenly palace..."

And this card was sent by Gu Tiancheng, representing the financial support of the entire nation.

Su Ke Ke bought two pearl milk teas and habitually calculated the price.

As if there were only a few tens of yuan in living expenses on that card.

Passing a trash can.

She saw an elderly grandmother with white hair painstakingly rummaging for plastic bottles.

She instinctively wanted to join in and pick some up.

But her hand stopped halfway.

She remembered her former self.

Also relying on picking bottles to earn a meager income.

But she no longer needed that now.

And this "livelihood."

Should rightfully be left to those who were once as difficult as her.

Thinking of this.

She left a handkerchief wrapped with a few tens of yuan in change.

Silently pulled Zhang Wei, and bypassed that corner.

In the afternoon's Chinese class.

A new, young teacher had replaced the old one.

As for the original homeroom teacher.

Because at the faculty meeting a few days ago.

He had said sarcastically:

"There's a powerful lady who managed to get her call through to the phone room of my Jiangcheng Seventh Middle School..."

Less than ten minutes after he finished speaking.

The new principal, accompanied by two expressionless men in black, appeared at the conference room door.

"Teacher Wang, you are dismissed. Effective immediately, pack your things and leave."

The principal's voice was devoid of emotion.

"Why?! What did I do wrong?"

Teacher Wang stood up in shock.

The principal gave him a cold glance, offering no explanation.

That look seemed to say: You are not qualified to know the reason.

This incident caused a huge stir among the teachers.

And made everyone understand an ironclad rule.

—There was an untouchable true god in this school.

The news reached the lively students' ears.

Amidst their excitement, they wrote one terrifying urban legend after another.

And at this moment.

Su Ke Ke, in the eye of the storm.

Just sat quietly in her chair.

Enjoying this hard-won, warm and peaceful time at school.

She temporarily forgot her identity as a deity, immersing herself in this final mortal dream as an ordinary high school girl.
