Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

World Tree Academy.

The Great Archives.

The space rippled, and two figures were ejected from a crack.

It was Junyi who brought the unconscious Ye Yuan with him.

"call....."

Junyi let out a long sigh and looked at Mo Ning, who was sitting expressionlessly on the bench. "Second sister, it's only thanks to me that you gave me this task. Anyone else would have been unable to rescue sixth sister from eldest brother's clutches."

Seeing that Mo Ning remained silent, Jun Yi frowned: "Second Sister, aren't you going to say a few words of praise to me?"

No one ever received praise from Mourning because her wisdom surpassed that of all others; in her eyes, everyone else was an idiot.

"It seems that the eldest brother held back."

Mo Ning glanced at it and casually revealed the truth.

"Couldn't I be the one to fight off my elder brother and turn the tide?"

"You think you can beat Big Brother?" Mo Ning retorted.

"cannot."

"Then stop talking nonsense."

Junyi awkwardly changed the subject: "Sixth Sister's power has been sealed, what should we do?"

"Infuse the World Tree's divine power into her body and try to break the seal," Mo Ning said.

"OK."

Jun Yi raised two fingers and suddenly touched Ye Yuan's brow.

A powerful force, like a torrent, surged into Ye Yuan's body in an instant!

Two forces collided within Ye Yuan's body, causing her to show a slight expression of pain while she was unconscious...

After a while, Junyi stopped.

There was already sweat on his forehead.

"I didn't expect that my elder brother's power of the Calamity Tree had become this strong... Unless we can find another person to help, I alone am not enough." Junyi shook his head.

But Mourning's power was negligible; she was not a warrior charging into battle, but a strategist planning from the rear.

Mo Ning was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Based on this, perhaps not long after... Big Brother will no longer be bound by the World Tree and will be able to act freely."

Normally, the guardians of the hierarchy cannot attack ordinary people; this is one of the laws of the World Tree. This law can only be abolished if the area becomes the territory of the Calamity Tree.

However, if this continues, the Calamity Tree will occupy more and more territory, and the power of the gods will grow stronger and stronger... In the end, perhaps even this rule will no longer be able to restrain them.

And by then...

With Jianyang, Jinglong, and Yue Si, the three Yuan E, they could act freely.

"That's the worst-case scenario. Once our eldest brother is unrestrained, who can stop him?"

He will break through all the subsequent social strata!

"Therefore, the battle for the fifth level is crucial; we cannot allow the Calamity Tree to continue to occupy more worlds."

Junyi asked, "Is there any news about the fifth brother?"

Mo Ning shook his head.

There are very few things in the world that she doesn't know, but the identity of the Guardian of the Class is a secret, and no one can peek into it.

"It's a pity that the eldest brother can't directly attack the fifth level right now. If the fifth brother could awaken at this moment, he alone would be enough to annihilate all those second and third generation gods."

There aren't that many "what ifs" in the world.

Mo Ning shook his head calmly, "However, I do have a guess in mind."

"Who?!"

Mo Ning casually pointed, and a person's image immediately appeared on the crystal ball on the table.

"Old?"

Junyi never expected that he knew this person.

"This kid has been to the fourth level of the world before. I even drank and chatted with him, and in the end, I borrowed some of his power. You're saying he's the fifth one?"

"Uncertain, so it's a guess."

"What's the basis for this guess? Before he awakened, he might have been a beggar on the street or a general fighting on one side. Strength can't be used as a basis for judgment." Jun Yi hurriedly raised his question.

In short, even if Chen Nian is the strongest in the fifth tier, it has absolutely nothing to do with whether he is the fifth oldest.

"None of my guesses are unfounded. Don't confuse me with your dull mind."

"..."

Junyi stopped speaking, and Mo Ning pointed her finger again, and another girl appeared on the crystal ball.

Su Jinyu.

"She is the basis for my guess."

"How so?"

"This girl's divine status is that of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

"Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden... Second Sister, what do you mean?"

"The three supreme gods, Sun, Moon, and Star, gave birth to the goddess Luo Yueyao. She was a close friend of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who once gifted her a fragment of a celestial star. Now, this girl possesses the divine essence of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and has a close relationship with Chen Nian; perhaps..."

Junyi scratched his head: "Second Sister, do you mean that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden has a crush on Fifth Brother and is competing with her best friend for his man?"

"If you don't speak, I won't assume you're mute."

Mo Ning glanced at Jun Yi with a look of disdain, as if she were looking at an idiot.

"In the ancient war of creation, Luo Yueyao sacrificed herself to save him. Seven of her three souls and seven spirits were devoured by the World Serpent, while her three souls were rescued by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. Of course, the World Serpent would not let go of this remnant soul of the goddess, so it hunted down the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden."

Finally, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden chose to dissolve herself.

"Dissolution by Corpse" is a Taoist practice that involves experiencing physical death to achieve liberation. After this process, both the individual's soul and body completely dissipate, transforming into immense power.

As a Taoist goddess, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden deliberately used this forbidden magic to preserve Luo Yueyao's remnant soul.

"She used the power of self-destruction, with her own divine essence as a vessel, to protect Luo Yueyao's remnant soul, which was scattered throughout the world. Her own death and dissipation were incredibly tragic, yet you misinterpreted it as mere jealousy and pettiness!"

Junyi was met with a barrage of disdain from Mo Ning, but dared not utter a single word in retort.

After all, he couldn't even beat his second sister in chess, which was his specialty, let alone in a verbal argument.

"Second sister, what are your plans for the future? I can't enforce the law across different levels, so I can't help the fifth level."

"Go back and make arrangements. If the fifth level really falls, only you will have a chance to stop Big Brother."

"Okay, I'll do my best."

Jun Yichao and Mo Ning bowed in greeting.

He truly admired his second sister. If it weren't for her early planning, establishing this so-called World Tree Academy, and recruiting powerful individuals from various worlds...

Perhaps before they even awaken to their divine power, the nine levels will have already completely fallen.

"Take care of yourself."

.......

Not long after, Chen Nian was summoned to the Great Archives.

Even the dean was puzzled as to why the young lady was so interested in Chen Nian and summoned him over time.

Chen Nian felt uneasy.

Last time, Mo Ning asked him to go find A Yuan, but he stood her up in order to save Tang Rou...

I wonder if I've made a big mistake?

Upon arriving at the library and seeing the expressionless, silver-haired woman, Chen Nian wondered why he was so intimidated by her, even though he had met many beautiful women before.

"Sister Mo, I'm sorry about last time. It really wasn't that I wanted to go back on my word."

"No need for further explanation."

"You're the big boss behind the academy, I won't get expelled tomorrow for breathing through my mouth, will I?"

Mo Ning ignored Chen Nian's complaints, and no one knew what mechanism she had pressed. Suddenly, a sound was heard, and a bed rose up from the ground.

The person lying on the bed was Ye Yuan.

"Ah Yuan?"

Chen Nian looked surprised.

He was of course unaware that a tremendous battle had taken place at the end of the sixth level, and was surprised that she had come here.

However, the current A Yuan has a completely different temperament from the previous A Yuan. She has become more beautiful and her skin has become whiter, as if she has used a beauty filter.

"Wake her up," Morning commanded.

Chen Nian had no choice but to do as he was told, nudging A Yuan's arm: "Hey, wake up, wake up!"

"Hmm..."

Ye Yuan slowly opened her sleepy eyes, still half-asleep.

I was immediately startled when I saw Chen Nian's face for the first time!

"Wha...what's going on? Chen Nian, what are you doing here?"

Ye Yuan looked up and saw Mo Ning, and was even more surprised: "Second Sister! I remember I was taken away by Fourth Brother, why?"

"He entrusted you to me."

"I...my power!"

Ye Yuan tried to activate her power, but found that there was no response at all; her body felt as if it were blocked.

"No need to try anymore. Although my elder brother didn't kill you, he sealed your power. The sixth level is now the territory of the Calamity Tree."

Upon hearing this cruel truth, Ye Yuan suddenly understood.

I failed to protect anyone.

Even after the god awakened, he was unable to fulfill his duty as a guardian, and in the end, he still needed the help of his fourth brother and second sister.

"I'm so useless..."

She lowered her head, biting her lip in grievance, filled with self-blame.

Seeing this, Chen Nian couldn't help but comfort her, "It's alright, A Yuan. As long as you're alive, anything is possible."

"I... I've actually fallen so low that I need to be comforted by an ordinary person?!" Ye Yuan's beautiful eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief.

She thought to herself that she was, after all, a guardian of the sixth level, a natural favorite of heaven and earth and a woman of destiny.

"What's wrong? You're looking down on me? You used to call me 'brother,' and I even patted your head to comfort you and carried you to the rooftop to chat. Have you forgotten all that?"

"Enough, enough! Don't say such shameful things in front of Second Sister!" Ye Yuan felt that she would never be able to hold her head up again.

Mo Ning, however, had no interest in these trivial matters.

"Chen Nian, you'll take care of her from now on."

"what?"

Ye Yuan was speechless, and Chen Nian was dumbfounded.

"You've already lost your power, do you expect me to waste my energy taking care of you? I won't do anything pointless," Mo Ning coldly stated the harsh truth.

"Second sister, you're still so cold-hearted..."

Ye Yuan was too embarrassed to resist any longer; she had already caused enough trouble, so she could only bow her head and acquiesce.

Chen Nian shrugged: "Then I... for Sister Mo's sake, I'll reluctantly take care of her."

"you?!"

Ye Yuan suddenly looked up: "What, Sister Mo? Don't call my second sister so affectionately, okay? And what do you mean by 'reluctantly'?"

"You were the one who looked down on me just now. I was just afraid I wouldn't be worthy of you, esteemed sixth-level guardian," Chen Nian said with a smile.

"I was rude just now."

Ye Yuan was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. She thought to herself, "If I regain my power, I'll make sure bird droppings fall on your head every single day!"

And so, Ye Yuan temporarily stayed at the academy.

Chen Nian dared not delay for even a moment; in truth, his heart was heavy...

Because the fall of the sixth level means that the fifth level will be the next target.

My own home, Blue Star.

The Lost Continent where Gu Qingyue and Shang Zeying reside.

The capital of gods and demons where Tamamo-no-Mae resides.

The seven airspaces where Qin Yu is located.

These....

It's all a world of the fifth level!

At that time, all these worlds will be attacked.

Improving our strength is an urgent matter.

Although I cannot be as powerful as the guardians of the hierarchy, I must still do my best.

Chen Nian arrived at the World Tree Courtyard, preparing to use performance points to improve his strength.

In the battle to save Tang Rou, he killed two Primal Demon Gods, one of whom was ranked as high as 30. He also cut down a Calamity Tree sapling.

Performance Points: 120

Sure enough, quite a lot of performance points!

This time, Chen Nian is going to make all-round improvements in preparation for the upcoming big battle.

First, there is the Word of Power "Ten Beasts of the Forest".

Previously, Chen Nian could only summon the first six of the Ten Beasts of Senluo.

The Seventh Beast "Heavenly Thunder Bird" - Performance Points: 20

Description: This bird is as fast as lightning and can use various lightning strikes to destroy its targets.

Chen Nian chose to unlock, adding another powerful general to the Ten Beasts of Senluo.

He immediately summoned the bird to test it and found that the bird was not large, but its body was covered with beautiful lightning patterns, and its flight speed even exceeded his own full speed!

Sparks flew and lightning flashed – the speed was incredible!

This bird reminded him of Uesawa Naoki. Blue Star is about to face a crisis, and he wondered if Naoki would appear.

Next, Chen Nian chose to unlock the "Second-Tier Divine Power Liberation" of the Mountain-Splitting Axe.

[Second-Order Divine Power Unleashed: A Single Axe Can Sever the Ocean]

[Performance Points Consumed: 50]

However, after the release of second-order divine power, the weight and volume will increase again!

When Chen Nian is released at the first level, he can only use the "Summoning Spell".

As for the second tier, one must definitely activate "Heaven and Earth" to wield this axe, which will become a powerful killing move with ultimate destructive force!

With 50 performance points remaining, Chen Nian chose to use them to upgrade his rank.

He had originally planned to slowly increase his rank through battles, but time was of the essence, and he could no longer afford to level up at a leisurely pace.

It's worth mentioning that the World Tree can only elevate a person to the peak of the eighth rank. To advance to a higher rank, one must rely on their own talent and comprehension.

After all, the ninth rank... has already stepped into the realm of true gods!

The nine guardians are a generation of gods beneath the World Tree.

So, for an ordinary person to advance to the ninth rank, they would at least be at the level of a second-generation god. Even looking back at the history of the academy, there are very few who have stepped into the ninth rank.

[Performance Points Consumed: 50]

[Rank Upgrade]

[Power of the All-Encompassing Words Increased]

[Divine Power Enhancement]

[Enhancement of Primal Divine Power]

Chen Nian had already improved somewhat from the previous series of battles, and after spending performance points, he was directly promoted to the mid-to-late stage of the seventh rank.

At the same time, all other abilities are upgraded along with the rank.

He has also made great progress with the Nine Syllable Mantra and is now able to use the sixth syllable.

Including primordial divine power!

Chen Nian realized that he could now use "Cage" and "Law of Heaven and Earth" together, instead of exhausting his abilities with just one as before.

Next, we will conduct high-intensity combat training to try to raise our rank to the peak of the seventh rank, so as to make the fullest preparation for the great battle.

Then let's go find Rika and her senior to spar and train. They're both very strong, especially Rika...

Fighting her should improve your skills quickly.

.....

P.S.: I caught a cold from the air conditioning last night... My physical condition is extremely poor. I originally wanted to take a day off today, but then I thought about how I haven't taken a day off since I started writing this book, so I took some headache medicine and forced myself to write.
