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

"Second sister, there's something I don't understand."

"The third brother is among that group of wandering knights because he longs for a carefree, leisurely life. How can we awaken his spirit?"

Mo Ning said, "I am not a god who controls all things. I can only use certain means to interfere and make things deviate from the outcome I envision."

"You want Chen Nian to influence Lao San! Chen Nian is a very responsible person who dares to face any difficulty, the complete opposite of Lao San. Perhaps he can make Lao San suddenly realize his mistakes..."

Junyi suddenly realized: "So, Second Sister, Chen Nian being rescued by the wandering knight was also part of your plan?"

"As I said, I can only influence other factors to guide the process, and I cannot determine any future outcome. A long time ago, a one-armed youth became a wandering knight under my guidance and received the legacy of the Wind Chaser Wanderer," Mo Ning said calmly.

"What are you guys talking about? I can't understand a word you're saying!" Ye Yuan was completely confused.

Mo Ning shook his head and placed his hand on the crystal ball on the table, which immediately emitted a dazzling light.

She shared her thoughts with Junyi and Yeyuan so that even their less agile minds could understand everything.

"From the moment I began to suspect Chen Nian's identity, I investigated everything about him, including his family, brothers, women, and even his children."

"In the end, I chose Chen Nian's friend, Uesawa Naoki, and guided him to join the Realm Rangers."

"Someday in the future, Uesugi Naoki will meet Chen Nian in some way and introduce him to the Realm Rangers."

"Chen Nianhui got to know the third brother and influenced him."

"Although we don't know the conditions for the third brother's awakening, when he is willing to give up his dream of lying down and take up the burden of responsibility again, perhaps the day of his awakening will not be far away."

"Once the third brother awakens, he will have the opportunity to gather the power of the three guardians and force Chen Nian to awaken!"

"Only he can fight against my elder brother."

After reviewing the entire thought process, Junyi was deeply shocked...

Second sister is the real master strategist.

She first calculated that the third brother was a member of the Realm Rangers, and then she calculated that Chen Nian was the fifth brother, thus setting up a grand scheme!

"Wow, Second Sister is amazing!" Ye Yuan exclaimed in amazement, her face full of admiration.

"Everything is based on inferences from the available information. Perhaps the third brother is not a wandering knight, and Chen Nian is not the fifth brother. Even if I guessed correctly before, the third brother might not awaken as I imagined."

"At least we still have a chance to turn things around. Now it all depends on whether the third brother wakes up!"

.......

Ranger Camp, Night.

People sat around the campfire, all with serious and solemn expressions.

Because bad news came back.

"The fourth class has fallen..."

Upon hearing this news, Chen Nian was momentarily dazed and lost in thought, because Mu Yun and Mu Qingxuan were still in the fourth level of the fantasy world.

"How could it be so fast?!"

"It is said that in the core world of the fourth tier, the Guardians fought a fierce battle with the Calamity, and were ultimately defeated."

"However, they did not continue to invade other worlds, perhaps because the power of the Calamity Tree was already sufficient and there was no need to expand its reach further. In any case, their next target is the third level, and they will attack it soon."

Upon hearing this news, a complex emotion flashed across Xiao Wangchen's brows.

He is from the third class.

In one world, he even has a wife.

His wife was born into a powerful and influential family and was obsessed with power struggles, while he disliked worldly conflicts and only wanted to find a place to live in seclusion.

So in the end, he left with his daughter and became a free-spirited wanderer.

Come to think of it, it's been almost ten years since I last saw my wife. I wonder if she's doing well?

"father."

Ta Xue noticed his inner turmoil and asked softly, "Do you want to go back?"

"Haha, of course not! Life here is so comfortable. I'm a wandering knight now, what happens to the third tier is none of my business!"

Xiao Wangchen spoke casually and nonchalantly.

"And what about Mother?"

These three words instantly deflated Xiao Wangchen's pretentious demeanor.

He and his wife simply had different ideas, but after all, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness, and they still had feelings for each other.

Moreover, even if she herself did not, how could Ta Xue, as a daughter, not miss her mother who gave birth to her at all?

"Excuse me, where is the core world of the third tier?" Chen Nian asked.

"No one knows, but things are different now. Perhaps the Calamity will soon discover the core world, because their leader can now freely enter and exit the third tier, and his power is no longer suppressed..."

Chen Nian asked again, "Do you have any news from the academy?"

"The fifth-tier defense suffered heavy losses and is currently recuperating, so it may be unable to attend to matters concerning the third tier."

"Alas, if this continues, I'm afraid all nine levels will become the domain of calamity. Fortunately, we are safe here for the time being."

Now, Jianyang, Jinglong, and Yuesi have all regained their strength.

They no longer need to go through the trouble of exploring the core world; they can simply delve into the ley lines of that world to search.

It only took seven days.

They discovered the location of the core world and immediately dispatched a large army to launch a full-scale attack.

.......

"The calamity has made its move; it must have discovered the core world of the third tier and is launching an attack!"

The wandering knights who roamed the worlds immediately relayed the news back.

"Which world is it?" Xiao Wangchen asked hurriedly.

"C-03".

"What...?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wangchen's face immediately turned pale, and he staggered back two steps, almost losing his balance.

Because that is the world where his home is, and also the world where his wife is.

Even if other worlds are spared, the people of the core world will certainly not survive, because only by conquering the core world can the calamity continue to invade the second tier.

Besides Xiao Wangchen, there was another person who also reacted strongly.

Aged.

The moment he heard the world's number, his memories were pulled back.

I'm back in Hangzhou, back at West Lake, back in that wooden house by the reeds...

Xiao Bai, Xiao Qing, Fahai, Jinshan Temple...

He took out a white jade hairpin from his pocket, stared at it blankly, his vision blurred.

"If you return in the future, activate the magic of the jade hairpin, and Xiaobai will come to see you."

"Oh my, sister, you're giving away a token of your love! You've even given away the hairpin you always wear."

That scene is still vivid in my mind.

Of course, he also remembered that Xiaobai had said that someone had saved her hundreds of years ago.

The reason she was close to Chen Nian was that she initially mistook him for that person and wanted to repay a debt of gratitude.

Looking back now...

The one who saved Xiaobai hundreds of years ago should have been the guardian of the fifth level.

In other words, it's me?

It turns out that everything is predestined.

Chen Nian revealed a relieved smile, and he suddenly stood up. "I want to go to the third level."

"Chen Nian, what are you thinking? Aren't you from the fifth tier? What does the third tier have to do with you?"

"No, it's related. I have friends there."

"Are you crazy? What good will you do? You're just sending yourself to your death!"

"I know it's suicide."

Chen Nian knew, of course, that with his current strength, he could not possibly withstand the calamity.

Not to mention the world-destroying, corrupted leader, even the top ten demon gods would have a hard time fighting him.

Even if they inherit the legacy of the Star-Picking Ranger, they will only become slightly stronger, and it will not have the slightest impact on the overall situation.

He couldn't protect the fifth tier, nor could he protect the third.

But Chen Nian still wants to go!

He still wanted to see Xiaobai one more time; there were some things he wanted to tell her in person...

Xiao Wangchen looked at Chen Nian for a while, then shook his head and smiled wryly: "Silly boy, go wash up and go to bed. Stop dreaming about saving the world all day!"

Shangze looked at Chen Nian, seemingly wanting to say something, but understanding Chen Nian's personality, he remained silent.

"Everyone, thank you for taking care of me over the past month. I've had a very happy time," Chen Nian said, bowing to everyone in gratitude.

"Seriously? You're serious?"

"Chen Nian, are you really sure about this? This time, no one can save you!"

Chen Nian shook his head, then bumped fists with Shang Ze: "Thanks."

Then, smiling, she said to Taxue, "Be gentle, or you'll never be able to get married."

"Go to hell!" Ta Xue rolled her eyes at Chen Nian, annoyed.

Chen Nian patted Qi Qi's head again: "Take care of yourself. If we have a chance to meet again, I'll bring you some good food from outside."

"Take care, Brother Chen..."

After saying goodbye, Chen Nian did not linger any longer.

Hesitation and indecision would only increase his sadness; now that he had made up his mind, he had to carry it out without turning back.

So the wandering knights opened a passage for him to the third level.

Xiao Wangchen said from behind, "Chen Nian, if you regret it now, it's not too late..."

"I'm leaving, Uncle Xiao. No need to see me off."

After saying that, Chen Nian resolutely entered the spatial passage and headed to the third-level world.

Soon, the spatial passage disappeared.

The group of wandering knights sighed with emotion.

"This kid certainly has determination and guts!"

"Oh, what a pity..."

"To be honest, I quite admire him."

"Let's go, Lao Xiao. What are you standing there for? Let's go back."

.......

The third tier.

Outside Hangzhou, on a path amidst green hills and clear waters, two sisters are walking side by side.

The woman in green was pretty and walked with light steps.

The woman in white was as beautiful as a fairy, gentle and elegant.

It was Xiaoqing and Xiaobai, the two sisters.

"Sister, you've been going to Hangzhou every few days, do you miss that Young Master Chen very much?" Xiaoqing asked with a smile as she walked backward with her hands behind her back.

"No, Xiaoqing, didn't we agree to go to town to buy some clothes and rouge?"

"Yes, yes, and then we'll 'casually' check out the house by the reeds. After all, my sister specifically bought that house but doesn't live there; she just wants to 'check it out' from time to time!"

Xiaoqing deliberately emphasized certain words, leaving Xiaobai momentarily speechless and forced to admit it.

"So what if it is? Even Fahai doesn't care about this love affair between a human and a demon anymore, so why should you care about your sister?"

"Oh my, a human and a demon in love, my little sister wouldn't dare interfere~"

Xiaoqing quickly walked to Xiaobai's side, saying, "I'm afraid it's like a fallen flower that loves the flowing water, but the other person has already forgotten you!"

"You never say a kind word, take this!"

The two sisters were playing around when they suddenly saw a strange phenomenon in the sky and immediately stopped.

"Sister, look! The sky was perfectly sunny, how did it suddenly turn dark..."

The space began to distort, and a large number of monsters appeared out of thin air, like a huge black cloud!

Xiao Bai gazed at the sky, her expression solemn, her eyebrows furrowed.

"Something's not right. Those monsters aren't ordinary demons!"

"Watch out, they're coming!"

Just then, three winged calamity beasts suddenly fell from the sky and attacked the two sisters.

The two sisters, each wielding a blue and white sword, quickly killed the several calamity beasts.

"Sister, there are countless other monsters like this. Where did they come from? Let's go back to our cave and hide. Let's not go to Hangzhou."

"Then... what should we do about these demons attacking ordinary people in Hangzhou?"

Xiaobai bit her lip. Actually, she was more worried about the safety of ordinary people than the destruction of the wooden house that held so many memories for the two of them.

"Qing'er, I'm going to Hangzhou. Find a place to hide!"

"Sister, you..."

How could Xiaoqing possibly let Xiaobai go alone? She always valued her older sister the most.

Jinshan Temple.

Fahai wrapped the entire temple in a protective aura of Buddha light with his robe.

He sat cross-legged in front of the temple gate, looking at the large number of calamity beasts blocked outside, and shook his head and sighed.

"A great calamity for all living beings, Amitabha Buddha..."

The situation in the third tier of society is the least optimistic compared to the fifth and fourth tiers.

In the fifth level, with the full assistance of the World Tree Academy, and even with Chen Nian and others going back in advance to evacuate ordinary people, the casualties were reduced to a very small extent.

In the fourth tier, Junyi proactively issued a challenge, ensuring that other worlds were not harmed, with only the core world suffering the consequences.

However, the third tier is currently severely weakened and unable to provide support, and it also lacks guardians. It is completely unprepared for the invasion of this extraterrestrial calamity beast.

Even many of the world's powerful immortals have ascended to the first-tier divine kingdoms, leaving a shortage of high-end combat power.

Almost immediately after the calamity began its massive onslaught.

Chen Nian arrived in this world.

He looked up and saw countless calamity beasts in the sky, and his heart became extremely heavy.

Of course, he didn't expect to save the world with his own power; he just wanted to save Xiaobai and Xiaoqing.

"wait for me!"

Chen Nian looked at the white jade hairpin in his hand. He believed that by relying on the hairpin's connection to its owner, he could find Xiao Bai.

.......

Realm Ranger Camp.

When Ta Xue woke up and was about to wake her father for breakfast, she found that her father was gone.

That's strange. Dad is such a lazy person, he loves to sleep in and has never gotten up early. Why is he acting so unusually today?

Suddenly, she noticed a note on her father's bed.

"Daughter, Dad is going out to take care of some things. I'll be back soon, don't worry."

Ta Xue's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

My father has never traveled far from home, and going to other parts of the world is completely foreign to him. How could he possibly have anything to do?

Ta Xue hurriedly ran outside, and soon the whole camp knew about it.

"Old Xiao, sigh..."

"He must have gone back, back to the third level. I didn't expect there would be another one to die."
