(It's time to count down till the end. 7 more chapters, guys!)

It had been half a month since the school's catastrophe. During this period, Long Shiyan had been reorganizing the school together with the students and teachers to rebuild their homes. Also, because of the level of her suppression, the other forces simply did not dare to have any thoughts about attacking the school. This gave the school some leisure time to rest and reorganize themselves.

The gap between the Saint and the ninth-levels was similar to the difference between heaven and earth. Apart from the heaven-defying Long Aotian with his protagonist halo, no one could skip levels. Even if it was Long Shiyan, she couldn't do so.

After she became a Saint, she realized how strong of a realm the Saint realm was.

In the past, her "Glorious Heart" skill could beat people up at most. But now, her skill could completely split a small mountain in half. It was as if there were defensive shackles on the ninth-level fighters' bodies that they were unable to break open until they became Saints.

Until she became a Saint, she underestimated the power of Saints by far.

The Luoji Empire completely withdrew its troops. They claimed that attacking the Holy Spirit Magic School was simply a joke and that they were just doing some army training drills.

Even so, the current emperor must have hidden while trembling in fear. Making fun of a Sword Saint? If he did that, then his entire military force of millions of experts would become a group of scarecrows before that Sword Saint. Furthermore, a single Sword Saint could ma.s.sacre everyone in the imperial palace in minutes.

One instance of a Sword Saint doing that was Long Aotian in the original story.

The a.s.sa.s.sins' Union would quickly revoke the high bounties of those who reached the Saint realm. This was a very wise decision because if they did otherwise, they would bring disaster to the union.

Long Shiyan was a seven-tailed beast cat, a creature similar to a dragon. She was previously invincible amongst those at the ninth-level. Now that she broke through into Saint realm, her strength as a Saint was absolutely formidable.

This was not the most frightening matter. The most dreadful thing was that she was only eighteen-years-old.

At the age of eighteen, she was promoted to the Saint-level. In this history of the continent, there was absolutely no other case. She was the number genius of the continent in both ancient and modern times. This was unfathomable.

The dragons were now lacking a leader as they shook in fear on Dragon Island, fearing that Long Shiyan would summon them to eradicate their entire race. How could they randomly move about freely?

The forces of all foreign parties were now quiet.

The Saint experts were originally banned from partic.i.p.ating in human affairs. They had always suppressed each other, causing the continent to temporarily be peaceful. Now that all the Saints had disappeared except for the very one they had provoked, how could they not be frightened?

It was not difficult to rebuild the school. With the help of the earth-system engineering magicians, the school recovered relatively quickly. Moreover, these days, there had been outside forces visiting from all parts of the continent to bring gifts and benefits to the school. Furthermore, they came to offer their condolences for the loss of 1,236 students, 620 teachers, many of the school's staff, and the representatives of the Holy Spirit Group.

Among them, the Luoji Empire and the a.s.sa.s.sins' Union had also come.

They had no choice but to lament how they must respect the more powerful.

Long Shiyan did not dispose of them because Saints were banned from killing ordinary people. If they did, the G.o.ds who guarded the gates of heaven would come out to punish her. Besides, removing these forces might change the continent's structure once again.

Too many innocent people had already lost their lives.

In the past, Long Shiyan did not care much about the lives of others, but after the catastrophe, she experienced the pain of her "believers" who died. She heard their cries of death and pain, allowing her to understand their despair and suffering.

Was this what being a G.o.d was like?

She did not know. Anyway, what she had to do now was to do good deeds and rebuild the school. And, once everything was solved, she would bring her family back to life. Then, she would wait for her powers of faith to get stronger before helping the pitiful students receive a new life.

This was her dream!

In the short period of fifteen days, with the efforts of numerous engineering magicians on the continent, the broken school was restored to its original grandeur. It was a pity that the school's ancient architecture was replaced. But at the very least, the new architecture wasn't a bad alternative.

On a certain day, all the teachers and students of the school mourned for the deceased teachers and students.

Then, three months had pa.s.sed.

In the dean's office, Long Shiyan organized many doc.u.ments of the school. For example, what compensations needed to be given to the family members of the deceased, which countries to visit, which school programs or plans needed to be reorganized, etc. In the end, Long Shiyan questioned her life choices.

She really admired the old man who was able to handle these matters well. Those around her, such as Zi Linglong and other original members of the Students Holy Spirit Group, were also reviewing the doc.u.ments.

Nowadays, they were no longer a part of the Student Holy Spirit Group. To make the school self-reliant, Long Shiyan couldn't have them continue to rely on her. Therefore, they stepped down so others could replace them in those student organization leadership positions.

All of the seventh-grade students graduated in advance, and all of them were incorporated into the Holy Spirit Group. She became the independent dean of the Holy Spirit Magic School, Belinda became the vice-president, and Edgar became the head of the Holy Spirit Group.

After the members of the Alchemy Research Society refined the douqi pills, these members successfully reached the ninth-level. Together with the pellets and the treasures from the princ.i.p.al's storage room, everyone became ninth-level fighters.

Not only them, but the overall strength of the school's student body had also greatly improved.

Later, they accepted the students who graduated from the original school and the original                                 

Holy Spirit Group that had been lacking members was restored to its scale of several hundred members.

Long Shiyan also allowed the system to continuously publish books. These books renewed the students' traditional and old-fashioned ideas while strongly supporting the students' innovative abilities. For example, with the development of enchantment and magic array systems, alchemy was more vigorously developed and researched.

Although the effect was slight, she was working hard.

In fact, the current developments had been very good. Whatever she ordered at school was unconditionally followed by the students and teachers because without her, they would have been dead.

This eighteen-year-old Saint could also summon the Radiant G.o.d, which made them suspect that Long Shiyan was actually the reincarnation of an angel. Her achievements were widely circulated across the continent.

It was difficult to solve today's issues. After a day of sitting, Long Shiyan returned to her bedroom. All she wanted to do was take a shower and then sleep.

During these days, almost all of them were busy until late at night. Furthermore, after three consecutive months of work that needed her utmost concentration, even she would feel exhausted.

Comfortably soaking in warm water, Long Shiyan could not help but feel drowsy. Although she was a Saint, she needed to take a bath. Otherwise, how dull would it be if she had to abstain from worldly desires?

“The host is sleeping in the bath again!” When she was about to fall asleep, System Qian Qian suddenly popped out, interrupting Long Shiyan's beautiful dream with her unique lolita sounds.

Long Shiyan swept at it. Then she continued to close her eyes, ignoring it.

Speaking of the system, over the course of these days, she never appeared unless when necessary and Long Shiyan did not know where she went. However, the system had mentioned that the crisis regarding Long Aotian had been resolved, so Long Shiyan did not have to stress about things as much. Now, as long as Long Yuqing was resurrected and the many female harem members settled down peacefully, there should be no other problems.

In regards to the new Long Aotian, she was not afraid of him at all. He did not have the same kind of ability as the real Long Aotian. At most, he could only be considered Long Aotian's opponent or may possibly play a better role than them in facing Long Aotian. 

The system didn't really explain the concrete situation as of yet.

Long Shiyan wanted to ask, but System Qian Qian would beat around the bush whenever the topic was brought up.

She thought about a lot of things, including Zi Linglong's red star, the mysterious enormous hand, and a treasure that the Radiant G.o.d gave her on that day.

The item was a bead. He said to use it at a critical juncture involving Zi Linglong.

There were a lot of suspicions, and Long Shiyan wanted to know what was going on, but the system refused to talk to her. Intuition told her that it might be related to how she crossed over to this world.

She always thought that she was some larger ent.i.ty's chess piece. After solving the problem with Long Aotian, she felt more certain that this was true.

“Host, with your current points, I can resurrect your entire family. It's just that…”

“?” Long Shiyan opened her eyes.

“It's just that the host will have to leave this world,” System Qian Qian said with a grave expression.

"Why?" Long Shiyan's eyebrows rose as she glanced at her.

“Because the host's mission has been completed!” System Qian Qian smiled. “Since all of the missions are completed, you, of course, will be going back to your original world.”

Long Shiyan lowered her head in silence.

“In order to reward the host for successfully completing the task, I will grant you three wishes. Whether it be wealth or power, I can give it,” System Qian Qian stated.

“Wealth and power?” Long Shiyan closed her eyes again. “Qian Qian, supposing I do go back to that world, then these things will be complicated for me.”

“Did the host do something bad?” System Qian Qian laughed mischievously a couple of times. "Whenever you cross over to a different world, you have to follow the rules of that world, otherwise, you will disturb others. And once the host returns to her previous world, your powers will be sealed and you will become an ordinary person. Therefore, financial power is very important, and the host should carefully consider obtaining it.”

“I have to go back to that world so my family can be resurrected?” Long Shiyan frowned. If this was the case, then wouldn't the most unfortunate one be her? She wanted to resurrect her family to live together with them, but she was forced to leave the world.

Nothing was more unsettling than this.

“Yes, you have to leave this world.”

Long Shiyan stared at her little face and narrowed her eyes; she asked, “Why do I have to leave? Can't I stay here? I just want to live with my parents.”

“Unfortunately, Host.” System Qian Qian shook her head. “Because you are not a person from this world, everything would become unstable if you stayed. Even if you resurrected your family, the world would be unstable. Perhaps one day, you may end up killing your family. So rather than living through these unstable lives, it's better to leave the world and so it could stabilize.”

“Are there any other options?”

System Qian Qian replied, “No, Host. Unless you are willing to give up the resurrection of your family and then use up all of your points to redeem your right to stay in this world, then it won't be possible. If you do buy the right to stay, then the will of the world won't target you while I am away. You could reach the G.o.d realm and obtain immortality.”

“Are you leaving as well?”

“Yes. Once the crisis with Long Aotian has been resolved, I can consider other places to travel to.”

Long Shiyan was silent. It took a long time for her to answer. “I belong to a world far from this one, so I have to give up on seeing my parents. I have to give up on my dreams. I really…”

“I understand, Host, but there is no other way. So, Host, you need to decide for yourself.” The system had a solemn expression.

Long Shiyan laughed bitterly a few times; her face was filled with sorrow. “There are still things left to do in this school. There are still many female students who would want some love advice from me. Furthermore, I still have to improve the overall strength of the school, so it will take some time.”

"Hasn't the host already handled their relationships quite well?" The system's words caused Long Shiyan to choke. "And after you leave, their memories of you being in this world will all be erased. Memories of Long Aotian will also disappear from everyone. Therefore, even if you want to leave a mark in this world, there is no way to do it.”

The system was fully aware of this notion.

Long Shiyan's heart jolted as she raised her head and asked incredulously, "You mean to say that not only will others forget about me, but my parents and family will also forget my existence?!"

“Yes.”

Long Shiyan clenched her fist and gritted her teeth before saying, “I have three wishes, right?”

“Yes,” the system said. “But the owner's three wishes are limited to wishes for the other world, such as becoming a star, wanting a beauty, or getting a handsome guy. However, these wishes do not pertain to this world. For instance, you cannot allow Zi Linglong to come with you nor can you restore her memories.”

With those words, Long Shiyan became dispirited. "When I return to that world, I will be able to regain my original body!” Now that she no longer had any hope, she would resume her ordinary life. That life wasn't that bad at all!

“Uh, that won't be the case.” System Qian Qian awkwardly explained, “Because the host's body and soul are bound together, it is impossible to leave this body. The host will still maintain this appearance.”

“But, Host, you can rest a.s.sured that your body only appears small. Even if you get married and have children, there should be no problem at all. So, this will not affect your daily life.” She paused and said, “Do you want to marry and have children? If this is the case, then you can wish to become whichever gender you want and it will not affect the baby.”

“I never wanted to be in a relationship.”

“You don't want to?” System Qian Qian stared blankly. “But if you don't marry and have children, what is the point of returning to that world? If you just live an ordinary everyday life without love, then won't that be boring? Or how I create a little doll for the host to play with?! No matter the character or appearance, I can make it. I can even make it exactly like Zi Linglong, and the host can be with her for a lifetime.”
