No health bar? You call this stunningly beautiful NPC sickly?

The alchemist waved his hand, and the deformed monsters that had been attacking the players receded like a tide, disappearing back into the darkness.

The puppets that were fighting the knights also stopped their attacks, and the two sides temporarily ceased their battle, forming a stalemate in the center of the arena.

The alchemist straightened his collar and walked up to the player.

"Clearly, His Majesty does not wish to see you die." His tone returned to its refined manner. "In that case, perhaps we can have a chat before the next game begins."

"Her Majesty is lost in memories and will not care what we say next. In other words, she will not hear what we say next."

The players looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that this guy who looked like the final boss would take the initiative to communicate.

Gu Wenzhou steered the conversation back to the Holy Land and the Old Royal Court, "You believe the princess betrayed her, but the Royal Court knights clearly don't think so. Since both sides claim to be protecting Miss Ran, at least one of them has a problem."

Squad Leader Wang Ting glanced at him from behind her damaged faceplate, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

The alchemist gave a cryptic smile.

"Her Majesty is innocent and clear-headed enough that sometimes she does what she believes is right," the alchemist said, adjusting his monocle, his gaze behind the lens meaningful. "As for whether it is right or wrong in your eyes, that is another matter."

"If you want to know who is lying, try to find the answer yourselves. I only hope that when the truth is laid bare before you, you will still have the courage to continue asking questions."

After confirming that the two sides had temporarily ceased hostilities, Ji Xing glanced at Mu Zhixi with a requesting look before helping Luo Shu out of the crowd.

Even knowing that no response would be received, it was still polite to at least get a response.

"Since you keep saying you're working for the Holy Domain, I'm quite curious: are you truly loyal to the Holy Domain, or to the esteemed Miss Number One herself?"

"What a joke," the alchemist turned around, his gaze behind his monocle landing on Ji Xinghui's face, "You asked the wrong question from the very beginning."

"Your Majesty is not noble because of the Holy Land."

"Quite the opposite." He took off the blood-stained white glove and casually threw it into the fountain. The originally clear water quickly turned scarlet, but not a single drop of dirty water dared to splash towards where Mu Zhixi was.

"The Holy Land is made noble because of her."

"As for who I serve, it has always been a multiple-choice question, so naturally I don't need to make any choices."

"Of course, I have seen many creatures similar to you."

The alchemist withdrew his gaze, his tone playful, "They firmly believe that bloodline determines everything, and they are keen on dividing races into high and low, noble and base, as if having a sufficiently illustrious name can cover up their own insignificance."

"But they are wrong. True nobility never needs to boast, because her very existence is the most powerful proof of the theory of bloodline."

The alchemist turned to look at Mu Zhixi, gently pressed his right hand to his chest, and performed an impeccable ancient ritual.

"The sanctuary is an extension of her will, her crown as she walks in the world, and the ladder through which all believers can approach her."

"If one day, the Sanctuary turns its back on her..."

His smile remained elegant. "Then the Holy Domain has no need or meaning to continue existing."

The courtyard fell silent for a moment. These words made Ji Xinghui, Gu Wenzhou, and the others thoughtful, and they all began to brainstorm.

The alchemist before them knew far more than they had imagined; this was an excellent opportunity to extract information from him.

The players quickly exchanged glances.

The alchemist clearly knew more than they had anticipated. He was willing to reveal some information about the Old Age, but deliberately kept the key points vague, indicating that this information could be true or it could be intended to incite them to hostility towards the Old Royal Court.

Regardless of whether it's true or false, as long as they continue to extract information, they will always have the opportunity to cross-verify the evidence.

On this matter, the players have reached a rare consensus.

However, Mu Zhixi is not truly blind.

The alchemist's words pleased her quite a bit. Originally, Mu Zhixi wanted to find a reason, but now she didn't even need to find one herself.

Mu Zhixi couldn't help but marvel once again at how intelligent this "fake-to-real" ability was; it could even arrange the background setting essay, which she herself had almost forgotten, perfectly.

That's right. In her previous life, she did write a lot of faction settings to improve the characters' backgrounds. It could even be said to be a complete world view of tens of millions of words. However, she herself was too lazy to look at it again later.

Mu Zhixi suddenly remembered the hundred copies of the Old Era Records that she had placed on Blue Star.

Why haven't the players found the ancient book yet? Did she hide it too well?

There's also the [His Falling Gaze] that hasn't been triggered in a long time. I wonder what Han Yue and Shen Die have been busy with lately.

Seeing the alchemist's obsessive appearance when he mentioned the Holy Land, a thought suddenly arose in Mu Zhixi's mind.

Since the situation has already developed to this point, simply trying to stop it is not very meaningful; it would be better to add fuel to the fire.

Mu Zhixi hid her hands in the wide, silver-white sleeves of her robe and quietly opened the Creator God panel.

[Would you like to consume 12,000 Faith Points to generate seven fragments of Old Era documents? (Bonus: Authoritative official system review package with special effects)]

Content conflict?

Wouldn't that be better?

Mu Zhixi confirmed the consumption without hesitation, and then deliberately deleted the key parts that could directly reveal the truth.

These seven documents are from several short stories she wrote in her previous life to refine her worldview.

Mu Zhixi became interested, and she wanted to quietly and reasonably deliver these "historical truths" to this group of curious players.

After all, her persona is that of a compassionate goddess who appears in public, and... the ultimate villain who drives everything from behind the scenes.

When these players learned that this seemingly compassionate, loving, and pure goddess was actually a strange NPC…

What kind of expression would one have at the very beginning of all wars?

After all, in Mu Zhixi's writing, this unprecedented war was triggered by various forces coveting the goddess.

At that time, Mu Zhixi will personally remove the [Sanctuary Mask].

This allows the NPC panel, which has been hidden until now, to be shown to players of all races for the first time.

Mu Zhixi couldn't help but fall into a fantasy.

When the players finally reached the boss's throne, they found it empty. The goddess, whom they regarded as the leader of the righteous path, calmly walked up and sat on the throne.

Then, with a playful expression, he said, "Now you'll have to face..."

"—It is I. Do you know who your swords are pointed at?"
