Chapter 851: Those Who Chase the Backs

In the chaotic crowd,

Spade 9 slowly crouched down, picked up a playing card from the ground, and looked at the [Heart 6] face, his expression incredibly complex...

"The 6-generation... truly an extraordinary bunch of young people."

He looked up at the sky.

Amidst the scattering playing cards, three figures were walking toward the edge of the realm, stepping on starlight with their heads held high.

When Spade 9 first met Jian Changsheng, he felt the kid was very special and destined for greatness. After interacting with Chen Ling in the Heavenly Pivot Realm this time, he finally understood why Jian Changsheng always had Chen Ling on his lips...

This batch of the 6-generation all possessed an indescribable temperament: composed, stubborn, resilient, and yet crazy.

The scattered playing cards landed, picked up by various people or avoided like the plague. Moments later, these cards gradually vanished, like a dreamlike, magnificent large-scale magic trick.

After marveling at the limitless future of Chen Ling and his companions, a second thought surfaced almost simultaneously in the minds of all the Twilight Society members...

"That trick of scattering playing cards is so damn cool!"

They watched the backs of Chen Ling and his companions as they left gracefully after showing off, secretly resolving to keep a few decks of cards on them in the future to pull off such a stylish entrance or exit.

……

"Twilight Society... so this is the Twilight Society."

Pu Xiazhan watched the three figures gradually disappear at the edge of the realm. Always self-proclaimed a genius, aggressive and extroverted, she was uncharacteristically silent.

The binding force of the Drama God Path had completely vanished, all the prodigies had broken free, and the order of the Old District was recovering bit by bit...

But at this moment, the realm prodigies who had experienced the final battle were all feeling incredibly complex emotions.

"What? Seeing them, you're starting to feel inferior?" Li Shengmen walked to her side.

"Inferior? You're looking down on me too much." Pu Xiazhan glanced at him, "I just... for the first time in my life, truly realized what it means that there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens."

"The Twilight Society has always been a gathering place for all sorts of monsters and madmen. Courage, strength, wisdom—they lack nothing... Encountering them this time is actually a good thing."

"How so?"

"Don't you have that feeling? In our respective realms and God Paths, we've been blinded by too much praise and adulation. Only this time did we see the true target to chase... Being able to face one's own shortcomings is the prerequisite for progress."

Pu Xiazhan looked at him with some surprise, "You're quite open-minded."

"Hehe, I've always been clever."

"...I take back what I just said."

Just as the two were speaking, a figure wearing a Heavenly Tower uniform walked up to them.

"The two of you, after the final review and decision, you have each been awarded a Heavenly Star Position... Please follow me to complete the conferment ceremony."

Pu Xiazhan and Li Shengmen exchanged a look,

"It seems the result is good."

"The process was just too stifling... but it doesn't matter, the ground we lost this time, we'll have a chance to win back next time."

"Accepting the Heavenly Star Position means becoming a future pillar of the realm. Next time we see Chen Ling, we'll be enemies... How about it, are you confident?"

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of him. Although I'm left behind for now, one day, I'll catch up to his back..."

"And then?"

"And then kick him to the ground!"

……

Inside the temporary medical station in the ruins of the Old District.

Tu Tian slowly opened his eyes.

He stared blankly at the ceiling for a long time before coming to his senses, sitting up stiffly from the ground, his fingertips subconsciously rubbing his neck...

The scar from his decapitation had already vanished under the treatment of the Medical God Path, and his soul had returned to his body, completing his "resurrection" in the true sense.

Recalling everything that had just happened, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter. He stood up with difficulty and walked out of the medical station.

"Mr. Tu Tian, your soul has just returned to your body, you need to rest!"

"Mr. Tu Tian..."

Tu Tian ignored the reminders of the medical staff and stumbled out of the tent.

Just as he pulled back the door curtain, he saw the scattering playing cards falling from the sky. On that brilliant star path leading out of the realm, no figures could be seen anymore... Chen Ling and his companions had already left.

Tu Tian stared blankly at that star path. After a long silence, he gripped his palm tightly, the stone bead in his hand ground into fragments...

His [Privilege] was fake.

"...Heart 6." Tu Tian muttered to himself, "You played me... truly ruthless."

At the same time,

A graceful figure gently pulled back the curtain of another tent.

Tu Tian saw the person in his peripheral vision and his body trembled slightly. It was the petite girl who had treated his injuries in the Dark Palace, only for him to kill her with his own hands—a practitioner of the Medical God Path.

The girl saw him, her expression complex... After a long silence, she still took the initiative to speak:

"You should listen to the doctor and rest a while longer."

Tu Tian looked at the girl's face, a sharp pain twisting in his heart. He opened his mouth, "I'm sorry, at that time..."

"No need to apologize, I can understand. After all, it was agreed before entering the Old District that any means could be used." A smile forced its way onto the girl's face,

"Congratulations, Mr. Tu Tian... you got what you wanted."

Tu Tian was stunned.

Before he could recover, the girl turned and left. Tu Tian immediately stepped forward to chase after her,

He asked hurriedly: "I... I still don't know your name."

"Is knowing my name that important?" the girl said softly, "I'm going back. We might not have much to do with each other in the future... Since that's the case, let's just leave everything in our memories."

The girl paused for a moment, then added,

"If one day you become the person you want to be, and we have a chance to meet again... let's introduce ourselves properly then.

Finally, Mr. Tu Tian...

I wish you a bright future."

Having said that, the girl never looked back, her delicate and lonely figure gradually disappearing into the busy crowd.

Tu Tian stood where he was, feeling a sense of loss.

"Twisting Dragon Warrior Tu Tian." A Heavenly Tower staff member holding documents walked over quickly, "You have obtained a spot for a Heavenly Star Position. Come with me, the conferment ceremony is about to begin."

He called out several times before Tu Tian came to his senses. After taking a deep breath, he followed him toward the distance.

"Tu Tian!!!"

A figure wrapped in bandages rushed out of a nearby tent in a rage—it was Fudi!

"That Heavenly Star Position was supposed to be mine!! Mine!!" Fudi's eyes were bloodshot, his teeth gnashing, "You ignored the instructions of the Second Masters and snatched that Heavenly Star Position from me. Aren't you afraid of being punished after returning to the Twisting Dragon Warriors!?

Give me that Star Position now, and I'll pretend nothing happened!! Otherwise... from now on, we are mortal enemies!!"

Fudi's roar attracted the attention of everyone nearby. He blocked Tu Tian's path like a hysterical beast.

Tu Tian walked forward in silence, as if he hadn't seen him at all...

Only when he passed by Fudi did he stop.

He turned his head, looked into Fudi's angry eyes, and slowly spat out one word:

"Scram."

Having said that, he continued walking toward the Heavenly Star Position.

Fudi stood there blankly, taking several seconds to react. The dirtiest and most vicious insults poured over him, but Tu Tian left them behind step by step.

From this moment on, there were no more Twisting Dragon Twins of the Power God Path in the world... only the Twisting Dragon Warrior Tu Tian.

Finally,

He walked in front of a magnificent throne bathed in starlight.

"Twisting Dragon Warrior Tu Tian." The staff member said from the side, "Go and welcome the future that belongs to you."

Tu Tian looked at the throne for a long time, slowly lowered his head, and looked at the remaining stone dust in his palm...

"Heart 6 Chen Ling... I hate you, I loathe you." Tu Tian silently clenched his fists and walked toward the throne, his tattered clothes dancing in the wind, "But thanks to you, I was able to harden my heart and cut off everything..."

"Just you wait..."

"One day, I will catch up to your pace..."

"And then, I will trample you under my feet."
