Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

Su Wen Sheng’s eyes glowed with desire, saying: “I also really want to know what the secret is. Fortunately , I’ll soon became a Lord myself”

Su Xue Er was contemplating and muttered: “No wonder there were so many ridiculously horrible Aristocrats but still managed to become a Lord, it’s because they were the mainline”

“The banquet we’re holding this time is for the sake of introducing you to a man that’s part of the 9 Lords’ mainlines, unfortunately, your heart was elsewhere”
“And now, I’ve told you everything”
“This is the fate of one born into a 9 Lords family, a fate that can never be violated”

“What happens if someone does?” Su Xue Er still couldn’t accept this and asked.

“The family head has the right to enforce it, and the other 8 Lords will also cooperate with them”
“For the sake of protecting this secret, even if they have to die, a member of the 9 Lords’ mainline must marry each other and no one else”

Su Xue Er was stunned, unable to regain her senses.

Su Wen Sheng sighed: “Give your Mech to the family, after the Lords have it thoroughly studied, you can bring it with you and marry into a Lord’s family, after which you’ll receive wealth like you’ve never seen before ——enough for you to live your entire life lavishly from now on”

Su Xue Er bit her lip: “But I like Gu Qing Shan”

Su Wen Sheng showed an expression of understanding, speaking with a tone of one who has been through a lot: “Likes and hates are all temporary, as time goes on, you’ll understand. A single man is nothing compared to power and wealth”
“Listen to your father, give us the Mech, marry into a Lord’s family, it’s even better if you don’t like your future husband”

“It’s better?” Su Xue Er didn’t understand.

“Right, you’re a 4th stage Elementalist, plus you have the Blazing Angel Mech, after marrying in, your words will carry a certain amount of weight, you can slowly take control of the other family’s power, then cooperate with me”
Su Wen Sheng held an expression of excitement, saying: “I’m about to become Su family’s head, and you, will hold the power in another Lord family, cooperate with me and create a magnificent Su family’s future”

Su Xue Er didn’t mention it before, but suddenly realized and asked: “How’s Grandfather right now?”

Su Wen Sheng was stunned from his grand delusion being interrupted, he was a bit impatient.

“He’s still under constant monitoring, but the doctors said his life is about to run out”

“I’ll go see him for a bit”

“…That’s fine, but remember your father’s words, father also wants nothing but the best for you” Su Wen Sheng spoke very sincerely.

Su Xue Er stared straight into her father’s expression and emphasized every word: “I will engrave them in my heart”

“Hm, the second wife dared to act against you, how despicable, you won’t need to worry about it anymore from now” remembering that, Su Wen Sheng became angry again.

Su Xue Er left the reading room and looked up at the sky.

The sky seems low, the black clouds gathered as a downpour was brewing.

She suddenly couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“For a secret, they’d force me to arbitrarily choose a husband?” she mumbled.

Not knowing why, the scene of Anna pulling Gu Qing Shan by his hand appeared in her mind again.

Su Xue Er pursed her lips right, as her deep dark eyes became blank, no one would be able to tell her thoughts and mood even if they looked.

She reached her hand up to touch her head.

A few minutes later.

She was standing outside a certain building.

This has been, for the last few dozen years, the center of the Su family’s power, as well as the Su family’s head Su Xing Chao’s living space.

Staring at the building, Su Xue Er hesitated, unable to knock on the door.

As the Su family was holding a grand banquet today, there’s barely anyone here, only the occasional nurse or caretaker.

Su Xue Er kept pacing back and forth, reaching for the door a few times, but stopped and dejectedly paced back.

She only needed to knock and a nurse would open the door for her, but she felt as if there was electricity rushing through, stopping her hands.

While she was unable to make a decision, a small delivery drone came and hovered where she was.

[Su Xue Er, your package] an electronic voice.

“From who?”

[From Gu Qing Shan]

“Ah!”

Su Xue Er exclaimed, then quickly walked forward and took it.

The package was sealed quite tightly, and Su Xue Er was in too much of a hurry to find scissors.

A thin, green blade of wind appeared on her hands, cutting open the package with a gesture of her finger.

After opening, there was a box inside.

Su Xue Er couldn’t wait to open the box, inside which she found a small booklet and a jade bottle.

The jade bottle was cool to the touch with a pristine white color, even with Su Xue Er’s luxurious upbringing, she recognized this as something that’s rare to come by.

Su Xue Er instantly grew attached to the jade bottle.

She couldn’t help but smile, holding the jade bottle up and admired it for a while.

After a few minutes, she finally remembered there was a small booklet in there as well.

As she opened and skimmed over it, she saw they were all Gu Qing Shan’s hand written notes.

A small card fell from the booklet.

Su Xue Er hurriedly pick it up.

There was something written on the card.

“Chang Ning county has been cleaned about five times over, tomorrow I will have people come over to make sure there aren’t any more Man Killer Fiends there, that way, even if you’re at home to train, you will still be able to get out for some fresh air”
“The Confederate’s internal situation is gradually getting better, but make sure to listen to me and do not join the Game of Eternal, otherwise I’m in for a huge headache”
“Also, use one pill inside the jade bottle once every three days, the booklet is a method to cultivate, it’s very important, so make sure to put your mind to it”
“Cultivate well, become strong quicker, the world of the future is bleak, so make sure you can protect yourself”
“Do your best!”

Su Xue Er held the card in her hand, read it over and over for more than 10 times, not noticing how tears were dripping down her cheeks.

She sniffled, wipe her tears and held the card close to her chest.

She carefully put everything away.

Looking up, she smiled brightly.

She finally has the courage, walked up to the building’s door and knocked.

Then she walked in.

The medical room.

All sorts of apparatus and machines filled the room.

Many doctors and nurses stood on one side, while Su Xue Er walked in and sat down beside the bed.

Su Xing Chao was lying on the bed, feeble and weak.

His eyes were opened just enough to see a slit, but he didn’t blink at all. Only staring at the ceiling, as if he was still regretting something, like he still has something that he still hasn’t passed on so he was hesitant to go.

He breathed out, stopped, then finally breathed in again after a long while.

“Grandfather, I’m here to see you”

Su Xue Er gently lifted the old man’s hands and held it.

The old man also gently held her hand.

“I’ll… be going soon, I can hear… Death calling me…”

The old man’s voice was almost inaudible.

“But there’s, something I… still can’t let go…”

He stared at his granddaughter’s face with a questioning look in his eyes.

Su Xue Er stayed silent for a very long time, all the way until the old man was about to give up and close his eyes that she finally decided.

Biting her lip, she said: “I’ve made my decision”

Saying so, Su Xue Er suddenly became extremely calm.

———there’s no more going back.
