[Isabella began to speak, recounting to you what she knew of Vivian's experiences.]

[Isabella was not a member of the Twilight Council, but because of her relationship with you, she continued to live in Modena City for some time after your disappearance.]

[After your disappearance, Modena City fell into brief chaos, but Baris quickly suppressed all the unrest.]

[While Vivian went out to look for you, Baris struggled daily to deal with troubles from all over the world.]

[She had told Isabella more than once that Vivian's ideals were great, and that the highest throne should be accessible to everyone, rather than gripped tightly by the gods.]

[However, Vivian succeeded too easily.]

[With your help, Vivian effortlessly shattered everything of the old world.]

[Once, the heavens were filled with gods, but in just a few years, they became gray names in your ledger of achievements.]

[They fell too quickly, so quickly that people hardly had time to realize why their existence was a detriment.]

[All they knew was that moments before the fall of the gods, their church still provided them with accommodation and food, offering them well-paying jobs.]

[They couldn't understand why the gods had to die, nor could they comprehend the concept of shackles as promoted by the Twilight Council.]

[The priest's son became a priest, the pope's son became a pope, the gods high above remained unchanged forever, and everyone's future occupation and life were determined the moment they were born. Wasn't the world supposed to be like this?]

Ah....

Vivian indeed succeeded too quickly.

After all, in the second playthrough, Shen Sui was already very familiar with this game, seizing every opportunity precisely without wasting a moment.

The gods hadn't even had time to exploit their followers for more power before being effortlessly slain by Shen Sui, even when Shen Sui wasn't as highly ranked as now.

The Death God was killed by the bugged Card Recovery skill.

The Dragon God was ground to death by the tail-cutting mechanism during his roll.

The War God, though, was beaten to death frankly by chaos, but Shen Sui also drank a large amount of stat-enhancing potions before battling him.

After all, capturing Vivian was Shen Sui's main goal in the second playthrough; he was just one female entry short for his complete conquest gallery, so any gods or titles could all go die for not wasting his conquest time.

Once the conquest was achieved, Shen Sui turned to farming mode, happily farming within the game world, exploring the scenery of the Otherworld.

To be fair, the production team did a fine job in this regard, this damned game, where the core gameplay is borrowed, the game system is borrowed, and even the built-in mini-games borrow from major card games; but at least the modeling is exquisitely crafted, and merely looking at the maidens and the landscapes is a good game.

Shen Sui cleared the main storyline so quickly that the natives hadn't felt the oppression of the gods before they were no more.

So, those unaccustomed to the new era attributed all the troubles and suffering they encountered in reality to the Twilight Council.

What the hell were you doing overthrowing the gods?

But history is a cycle.

After they burned Vivian and expelled the Twilight Council, the returning gods found Claude missing, so they had no reason to share benefits with these ordinary people, and the painful past they had forgotten due to momentary grace returned once more.

Religious trials, indulgences, land annexation...

They finally began to hope for the appearance of a new Vivian.

However, they waited for hundreds of years.

This was what Isabella had witnessed in more than a thousand years.

When she heard the news of Vivian's death, she was equally surprised.

Although she had cursed countless times at night against Vivian for monopolizing Claude, she never thought this greatest rival would truly die.

Vivian was sent to the stake by angry crowds shortly after meeting with Baris.

With her fifteenth-tier strength, she did not resist at all throughout the whole process.

All of this seemed very bizarre.

Isabella went to look for Baris.

However, Baris had disappeared.

Afterwards, the Twilight Council disbanded, and Isabella set out on the journey to find Claude. One by one, her old friends died, so Isabella changed jobs to become a Tomb Guardian, visiting the coffins of her old friends each year, seeing if she could awaken one or two of them.

Maybe a Legendary Warrior might rise from their coffin, who knows?

For Vivian, the only thing Isabella was sure of was that she wasn't dead.

"She might have gone to other worlds," Isabella told you, "because we all know that the Claude Modena of this world is just a projection, and now I am more certain of this."

Isabella chuckled softly, a hopeful glimmer in her eyes: "You seem to be from the same world as that girl who's always trailing behind me. You know her in the real world, right?"

Isabella had lived for thousands of years; such an existence could not possibly be foolish.

Despite how well Xinyuan Tanchun disguised it, Isabella still deduced the truth through some subtle hints in the words.

[Isabella grew restless, barely able to suppress her urge to invade the Otherworld through that girl.]

[She wanted to see the real Claude.]

[Wanted to touch the real you.]

[Then delightfully bite your neck, sucking your scorching blood.]

Shen Sui's small hand trembled slightly.

[Qishala growled at Isabella, declaring sovereignty.]

Shen Sui's small hand trembled even more violently.

No, why didn't I notice when I was playing the game before that the female characters in the game all have such personalities?

Ah...come to think of it, Isabella does seem to have this kind of personality, as for Qishala, that was purely a surprise, her current performance merely represents the instincts of her body.

But Shen Sui doubted whether Qishala's instincts are so powerful that after her soul returns, she could really suppress such instincts?

Won't the first thing she does after her soul's return be yielding to instincts, then crossing the world barrier to pin me down?

Although I probably wouldn't refuse, it wouldn't be good.

The field is too small; the dragon form can't stretch out.

[Isabella showed no weakness, challenging Qishala.]

[Neither side gave way.]

Shen Sui watched this scene helplessly, a sudden doubt arising in his heart.

Generally speaking, a Life Card Master's vision cannot detach from the Soul Card.

If Isabella were here, where would Xinyuan Tanchun be?

Shen Sui was curious about what kind of existence other Life Card Masters had in the Soul Card World, besides himself.

Could he turn the entities controlled by a Life Card Master in the Otherworld into Follower Cards?
