Seeing Chloe walking up behind her, Rephya blushed and stammered a bit.

"Ah, that's because I waited for a while and didn't see you, I thought you were busy."

"I am indeed very busy." Chloe sighed, "You're aware of the situation with the historical echo, I need to make some arrangements to ensure our safety in the future."

This is a necessary precaution.

After this historical echo is over, not only him, but Rephya, Fufu, Nini, and Lilith have all gained the qualification to ascend in advance.

If it were an ordinary professional, they would have rushed to ascend by now.

Chloe knew very well that they couldn't do this.

The reason is simple.

"That's right, we can't expose our trump cards to the enemy's sight." Rephya nodded.

The experience of the Sword Hero taught her that without adequate preparation, even the Seven Heroes could meet a bitter end targeted by other world groups.

Wasn't Cang's Future Vision and absolute precision real?

Yet, in the era of the Black Emperor, he was forced by all sorts of calculations from the enemy to perish in the Underground City.

Didn't Sajia hide well?

Yet, when he stepped onto the Path to Divinity and transformed into the Child of the Sun Chaser, he still lost a portion of his True God Uniqueness.

It's true that Destruction Black Sun and Kai ascended, but to ascend in complete form, what tremendous price did they pay?

A conflict directly led to the Spear Hero, Sword Hero, Magic Hero, and Shield Hero emptying their health bars, having to reincarnate one after another.

Indirectly, this led to the Bow Hero fighting the strongest Underground City Demon King with a crippled body, dying prematurely.

The strong of the Blood Race were exterminated, leaving only the old, weak, sick, and disabled.

The strong participants from various countries also didn't fare much better, suffering great losses.

The aftermath of that war lingered for over a hundred years.

The Era of Turmoil left various forces stretched thin, leading the Evil God's forces to attempt to emerge, which is deeply connected to that war.

Only by paying such a huge cost were they able to secure the opportunity to ascend for those two.

However, even after the birth of Destruction Black Sun and the King of Redemption, they still couldn't stop the loss of the Seven Heroes' True God Uniqueness.

So from this point of view, thinking of resisting head-on is not advisable.

"Being completely locked on by them is as good as dead." Rephya sighed heavily.

"Yes, encountering Lord Wu An before was already lucky, he sent his avatar into The Stars to start from scratch, developing for a long time before making a move.

And to absorb the power I left behind, his avatar was likely cut from the Abyssal body.

Otherwise, with his level, impure faith is enough to attract the attention of the church forces."

Thanks to Lord Wu An's cunning operation, after eliminating his avatar, his true form probably didn't gather much intelligence.

Rephya couldn't help but complain:

"What exactly did you do to him, this guy can't seem to forget you."

"How would I know, he's so annoying."

"Ah, no wonder you haven't finished dealing with the Extreme Association's matters. In this situation, if we want to ascend, we'll have to fish in troubled waters."

"Yes, when Lilith and I were drafting the plan, we emphasized one premise – collecting resources to break through within the scope of common sense as much as possible."

The Stars Continent is full of geniuses.

There are many who can grow and break through in a short time.

If some forces want to force geniuses to break through at an extreme cost, it's not impossible.

Especially before reaching Sequence Four, that is, before the Demigod Class, this way of breaking through wouldn't attract much attention.

Or rather, even if they want to pay attention, it's too late.

Each major world group can only send their dark agents on The Stars Continent to investigate.

Ha.

Do you think the Evil God has no requirements for the Evil God's Followers?

Joking, giving you resources to develop is just to make you a slave.

Do you really think Evil God's Followers have nothing to do, and just honestly become cattle and horses?

When it's time to sacrifice blood to the Evil God, sacrifice blood honestly.

When it's time to provide funds to the Evil God Church, provide funds honestly.

When you're required to gather intelligence, then gather intelligence.

If you're discovered by the True God Church and various forces, dying is just that.

However, it takes time for the Evil God Church to send someone to investigate as well.

As for directly killing them, that's impossible.

With so many prodigies on The Stars Continent, does every prodigy deserve the world group's action?

Even if the world group wants to act, they have to see if they have the resources to do so.

Forcibly breaking the limitations of The Stars and releasing an attack comparable to the Saint's Power, the cost is so severe that it would require the world group to invest the value of a high divine power.

Even if the Abyssal Will was enraged and went mad, the investment back then was fewer than ten digits.

So the choice is actually very clear.

Rephya said: "Disguise as an ordinary genius, naturally ascend, right?"

Chloe nodded:

"You are now Sequence Eight. If you 'accidentally' break through to Sequence Seven during the Maze, considering your talent, it's normal for the Extreme Association to prepare resources for Sequence Six for you in advance."

Rephya nodded.

Speaking of which, isn't that the same situation for Senior Sister Fufu?

Similarly, now that Senior Sister has ascended to Sequence Seven.

If she suddenly breaks through to Sequence Six in an extremely difficult Maze, the Extreme Association would need to start considering purchasing legendary resources for her.

—As for when they break through to Legend later, isn't that up to them?

In any case, they won't let outsiders know.

Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Chloe and said:

"So our bottom line is that once exposed, at least everyone ascends to Demigod, right?"

"Yes, as long as we ascend to demigod, even if the World Group wants to unleash Saint-level power, we will have means to resist.

But before we can ascend to demigod all at once, we must hide first.

Moreover, the situation for you, Fufu, and Nini indeed requires several more battles."

Rephya nodded.

In fact... they have big problems now.

The prerequisite for ascending to demigod is having a clear understanding of one's own traits.

As for the senior, after acquiring the Titan Race talent, he never worried about how to wield it.

(Because someone has perfected his skills through numerous simulations and historical echoes)

However, she, Senior Sister Fufu, and Master Nini aren't there yet.

Previously, Senior Sister Fufu had talked with her.

[Magic Net Protection] was directly severed by Fufu and will take some time to retrieve.

It's also because of this that Nini wasn't targeted.

And the talent Fufu is using now comes from the True God Uniqueness of the Dark Night Goddess.

This is not her original talent, and to fully familiarize, master, and integrate it into her instincts, time is needed.

Rephya also has this issue.

She's not like Chloe, who has repeatedly experienced a second life in the Sims.

She needs time to become familiar with the upper and lower limits the Holy Bone Talent can exhibit in different stages.

Without utilizing the power of the talent, simply raising levels is useless.

"So, is going to the Maze our optimal choice?"

"Yes, actually it won't take too long; half a month later, you can complete the first ascent in the Maze and try to familiarize yourself with new talents.

Then, I'll start preparing resources for the next ascent, and we'll find the principal for cover and arrange the breakthrough."

Although Kai didn't say anything, he has in fact left many backup plans for their ascension.

Previously, he didn't feel it clearly.

But after emerging from the historical echoes this time, he realized deeply—

The Ethereal Emblem is one of Kai's backup plans, and perhaps also the Fantasy Association.

The reincarnation of the Seven Heroes gathering at the Ethereal Emblem under various coincidences might not be coincidental.

But regardless...

"Anyway, a month later, we need to raise the average level to Sequence Five, preparing comprehensively for demigod ascension."

"Yes, so... why discuss with Lilith?"

"Of course..." Chloe hesitated for a moment, then said with a grin, "You might not know, she's Kai's daughter."

"Red Moon Goddess?"

Rephya was truly shocked this time.

She didn't expect it to be the legendary Red Moon Goddess.

"Oh, so it's another of his backups."

Chloe wiped his sweat secretly.

Uh oh.

After the historical echoes ended, Xiaolu became harder to deceive.

He immediately changed the subject, saying:

"Let's go, I'll help you finish posting the posters. I couldn't find you earlier, so I rushed around the neighborhood."

Only then did Rephya come to her senses.

The two were so engrossed in chatting that they almost forgot the real business.

Originally, she felt some unease and annoyance, but upon hearing that Chloe was searching for her, those emotions vanished instantly.

Xiaolu grinned sheepishly:

"You, you can just contact me directly, so why not come sooner? Always so slow, making me wait."

"Alright, alright, next time I'll be quicker." Chloe blinked and said, "And in the Shadow Plane, Fufu and I really made every effort to get there as quickly as possible."

"I, I know."

For some reason, Xiaolu started feeling guilty.

After all, Senior Sister Fufu, who was extremely kind to her, married the senior in the historical echoes.

But... the senior in the Sims was a top-notch flirt.

Humph.

Thinking changing topics would make me unaware of the issues he has with Senior Sister Lilith?

Though...

Maybe it's not that bad.

A thought popped into Rephya's mind and she immediately shook her head.

Rephya, oh Rephya, why have you become so bad?

Do you think... this way, you might have a chance too?

...

After a busy period.

Chloe took Rephya out to eat at a restaurant.

"Do you remember our first time here?"

Chloe smiled cheerfully.

They were dining at the place where Chloe once treated Rephya to steak.

Back then, he also treated her to pistachio mille-feuille and blueberry mojitos.

Today, Rephya ordered pistachio mille-feuille again.

Eating pistachios, smiling like a pistachio.
