Tonight, Alice joins the hunt.

She was once adopted by a giant ninja on the battlefield and given the name 'Wolf'. Then, in the struggle for a treasure that could grant immortality, she became the Asura, who even hunted down Shura.

She once arrived at an island where anyone could transform into a yokai by using a certain energy-containing stone. There, she discovered she couldn't find any of her kind, nor was she accepted by humans. So, she hunted all the hostile yokai and their hunters, becoming the yokai queen who effectively ruled that island for thousands of years.

She even reached a frenzied and chaotic world, where traces of otherworldly strange beings, such as the Great Old Ones and Outer Gods, were everywhere. Numerous incomprehensible mythical creatures roamed the land. She hunted most of the mythical creatures she encountered, and before leaving, she even joined forces with a legendary investigator named Suzuki Satoru to kill an Great Old One named Ikutaya.

She didn't know what her actions meant; all she knew at that moment was that Suzuki Satoru's gaze was complicated. As she left, her temporary collaborator took an umbrella from her hand.

"I will never see you again," the man said as she left.

She didn't understand the point of those words, because she quickly forgot everything and then embarked on another journey with some slight setbacks.

Hunting, hunting, a long and endless hunt.

She enjoyed it, moving from one hunting ground to the next.

Her journey was accompanied by Luo Ye's gaze, and with each universe she traversed, Luo Ye's source world line extended to this place.

She didn't know, or perhaps she didn't care even if she did. And since she didn't know and didn't care, she was able to obtain the kind of freedom she longed for.

She still doesn't have a name.

Her memories were washed away and forgotten again and again during her journey, and with each forgetting, the remnants of her distant past grew fainter. And finally, when the inevitable day arrived, Luo Ye fulfilled the promise she had made to her past self.

Lupus Lechner Beta has completely disappeared.

The wolf girl, who was transformed from the remains of Lupus Lecchina Beta, has also completely disappeared.

Then, upon arriving in a new world, she felt a strange sense of relaxation. Although she didn't understand the concept of 'relaxation' due to her lost memories, she lived a more relaxed life in this one than in many of her previous lives.

She began to focus on things other than hunting; she began to contemplate her own destiny and beliefs, and the world around her.

She had some of her kind, and these same kind soon, as in many past lives, feared her because of her talent and intuition. They were soldiers, and she was the leader of the army; they were wolves, and she was the wolf that hunted them.

One day, her kind, out of fear, abandoned her, leaving her to wander the earth alone.

Wandering, wandering, a long wandering.

After one hunt, during a short rest, she encountered a peculiar woman. The woman was genuinely unafraid of her and reached out her hand to her.

“Come with me, and I will provide you with a home and a hunting ground where you will never lack prey.” — The woman had short, emerald-green hair, cat-like ears and eyes, and symptoms of some kind of gallstone infection on her shoulders. She looked like a delicate and beautiful lynx.

She thought about it for a moment and felt that there seemed to be no problem, so she nodded, picked up her only possessions—a dagger and a red cloak—and followed the woman.

The woman seemed pleased, a faint smile playing on her lips, and extended her hand towards her.

“My name is Kal'tsit, and I’m a doctor. What’s your name?”

This time, she thought about it for a long time.

For a long, long time, until she saw the red on her cloak.

“Red,” she said. “My name is Red.”

The agreement has been fulfilled.

When she redefined herself for the second time, Luo Ye's gaze, which had been fixed on her, finally shifted away completely this time.

She is free.

End-of-volume summary, book recommendations, and monthly updates.

@@@@ Well, strictly speaking, I don't really think this needs a summary at the end.

After all, this is just a relaxed and casual vacation/strengthening session with no major ups and downs. The plot and character conflicts are very simple.

However, after reading some book reviews today, it seems some readers believe that the Central Continent Team's previous perseverance and efforts were all in vain. Because in the Moon World, they watched helplessly as everyone in the world died…

Um, I remember in my setting, everyone in the Moon World was a fake, an AI, like an NPC. The only truly alive person was Flora, and the Middle Continent team's attitude towards her had never seemed too bad...

It's probably a problem with my description, considering how long I've written. However, in my understanding, the members of the Central Continent Team basically won't change their original intentions (didn't you see Miss Sirin even go to save a dummy?). They've just changed their perspective, from directly giving candy to giving it to Wu San.

After all, the overarching backdrop is that humanity's destiny is nearing its end, and the counterattack of all races is imminent. For those who can see their past and present lives, the fleeting joys and sorrows of an individual are far less important than the continuation of the entire community. They saved one life in the past, and now they save countless generations. The idea that God loves humanity is not mere rhetoric here. It's just that the way they express that love is different.

Alice's love is about enabling the world to develop and live more vibrantly. Patchouli's love is about leaving a record of everything, so that even if the universe is destroyed, it will endure in her records. The "trash" one simply opens a path for you, and whether you can make it is up to you. As for the remaining characters, except for Zhan Lan, the lawful evil, they will all be described later.

After all, the content of this volume is actually quite simple. The so-called transcendent species is basically about "not caring what you think, but what I think."

It's like how children usually think candy and video games are good, while adults think that the "Five-Year College Entrance Examination and Three-Year Simulation" method is good; it's just a difference in perspective.

Well... that's it anyway.

Stop 14: Heritage from the Past

Section 1: When Habits Become Traditions

"So, you've resolved the issues between you two?"

Beneath the sphere of light of the main god, in front of the seats in the circle, Zheng Zha, as the captain and chief spokesperson, glanced at Alice and the others before the meeting began—an extra seat had been added for them, and Luo Ye was sitting there, indicating that he would not speak next.

The Zhongzhou team suddenly gained an extra member.

“Yes, we’ve got it sorted out,” Alice replied. “Let me introduce you again, this is my and Patty’s older sister, Luo Ye. She should be working with us for a while.”

Luo Ye stood up and nodded to the others, who responded in kind.

Luo Ye wasn't keen on getting involved in the Central Continent Team's decision-making, and she demonstrated this through her actions. Naturally, the other members of the team immediately understood her position and expressed their agreement.

So let's put this matter behind us and move on to new issues.

Zheng Zha coughed and started the conversation.

"Well, according to the usual practice, after a cycle of reincarnation ends, we should do a summary report, talking about everyone's gains and growth... But I think this part can probably be omitted this time." He looked around the table, and all the members of the Central Continent Team were at least at the stable fourth stage of unlocking their genetic locks. Their combat strength was also basically at a level that could be understood at a glance.

His speech received a wave of approval.

Everyone is at the fourth tier. Although there are differences in strength, they are basically all on the same level. It's enough to have a general idea of ​​their combat strength; there's no need to go into detail about it.

— Nor would they have the time to study those extraordinary abilities and related derivative skills, the catalog of which alone could fill a library.

Now, let's move on to the next step.

“Well, then as usual, we should summarize our respective reward points and the number of side quests, and then make targeted enhancements based on the team’s needs… But I don’t think it’s necessary?” He glanced at Chu Xuan and Alice, his eyes showing a searching look.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, remaining noncommittal.

Indeed, once the fourth stage of the genetic lock is unlocked, the enhancements from the main gods become largely ineffective for reincarnators. After all, everyone has their own philosophies and their own path. Learning from predecessors sometimes doesn't actually boost one's combat power; in fact, it can weaken them. This also means that reward points and side quests are no longer strategic resources for the team.

“I think each person can allocate their own reward points,” Alice said, glancing at her personal panel where she had nearly six figures of reward points. In the battle to hunt for the saint, although there were no rewards for killing enemy reincarnators, the saint's resources and the harvest-style side quest rewards in The Wandering Earth and its derivative worlds brought the reincarnators a lot of... or rather, a very generous amount of benefits.

There's a lot of money, but it's no longer worth much. More importantly, the current team no longer has any weaknesses.

Everyone is a jack-of-all-trades, and everyone has their own philosophies. Therefore, the practice of hoarding resources that are not very useful and then redistributing them is naturally somewhat inappropriate. Moreover…

Alice glanced at Luo Ye and saw Luo Ye nod.

"Well, I...we've compiled some information that might be useful for reincarnators at the fourth level. This could be considered a general method for advancing from the fourth level to the fourth-highest. You can all take a look." She flicked her fingers, projecting the information related to transcendent species in front of each member present. Then...

"The construction and maintenance of the Origin Worldline... Is this how True Gods advance further?" Zhao Zhuikong was the first to speak. He was almost the first to finish reading the data transmitted by Alice, and then he frowned sharply. "It sounds simple, but how should we do it? Crossing the Seas... The area you mentioned called the Abyss of Death seems to require certain privileges, and these privileges seem somewhat difficult for us Reincarnators to obtain."

He didn't glance at Luo Ye, but everyone else understood what he meant.

“Sister can indeed provide some help, but besides that, we can also obtain some conveniences from the Supreme God.” Alice snapped her fingers, and an exchange item provided by the Supreme God appeared in everyone’s sight.

—'Exchange item: Stable random world coordinates. Requires 50,000 reward points and one S-rank side quest.'

"An independent and complete world coordinate system. Provided by the Supreme God, and such a world coordinate system is not controlled by other transcendent beings, sages, or anything else, or even the Supreme God himself. For us reincarnators, this is the most suitable experimental field supply."

She glanced at the others, knowing full well that each member of the Central Continent Team had enough resources to buy at least one world coordinate.

“We can buy a world and then interfere with it. The means, methods, and goals are all in front of us. And on this basis, I believe that everyone can accumulate experience through repeated experiments until the interference is finally successful, thus gaining multiple world lines.”

"Understood." Zhao Zhuikong nodded. "It seems that reward points are still somewhat useful."

“Yes, but it’s not absolutely necessary.” Zheng Zha nodded. “Besides, what Margot Lloyd said earlier makes sense. Everyone here is a mature person with their own ideas. They can make their own decisions about what to do and how to do it, instead of relying on others for guidance as before. So, I won’t interfere with the matter of reward points and side quests anymore. Everyone knows what to do.”

He tapped on the table, thus ending the current topic.

“Then, each of you will be responsible for your own enhancements.” He glanced at Logan, who looked like he needed help and guidance, and added, “However, if anyone feels that their future path is still unclear and they need to consult with others, they can seek help from Chu Xuan or Margot Lloyd after the meeting—Chu Xuan, Margot Lloyd, is that alright?”

"No objections." — Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses.

“Okay, that’s settled then.” — Alice nodded.

“Okay, now let’s get to the really important stuff in this meeting.” He placed his palm on the edge of the table.

"What should our team do next?"

Where to go?

This is indeed a problem.

Today, the reincarnators of the Central Continent Team no longer think foolishly, "I have enough money, I want to go home!" Even if they actually had more than 50,000 reward points, they wouldn't think that way. They have already passed through the mediocre years of living in constant fear as mortals, terrified of dying in the reincarnation world. Only after achieving transcendence and securing their survival did they truly realize the significance of the Supreme God to them, the reincarnators.

Becoming a reincarnator is an immense opportunity and blessing. It grants these pitiful beings, bound to the scripted world, a chance to break free. This opportunity extends beyond themselves, encompassing even their home universe, the original source world. It's like someone who has lived in darkness for a long time seeing light for the first time; once they touch that single ray of light, they will never let go of their clenched fist again!

Even so, they still need a unified, phased goal.

"Chu Xuan, how far are we from the end of the war?"

"At most three worlds, at least two," Chu Xuan gave a definite answer. "But if someone in our team unlocks the fourth-tier advanced gene lock in the next world, then there will be at most one world left. It's even possible that after finishing the next world, we'll directly face the final battle."

"So, there's at least one more world?" Zheng Zha nodded. "That's good news. We're already quite strong, but we're still a long way from the Demon Team. So, we need to take this opportunity to strengthen ourselves... I think everyone has their own plans, but beyond that, I believe we still need a collective operation... What are your thoughts?"

"Uh...going on vacation?" Zhang Jie uttered a very dangerous sentence. It was dangerous because the moment he said it, everyone present turned to look at him!

"Did I...did I say something wrong?"

“I think we should just forget about vacationing,” Zheng Zha said, rubbing his forehead with a troubled expression. “Zhang Jie, if you want to relax, you can go find a world to travel around on your own. Of course, I would suggest simulating it in your personal space. But other than that…”

He shook his head heavily.

Then Zhan Lan picked up where he left off.

“Zheng Zha is right, our team is indeed not suited for… taking a vacation… I think we could go to some unexplored story worlds? Like, Zhang Jie, the Nightmare on Elm Street or Scream, which you experienced?”

Zhang Jie coughed twice, somewhat awkwardly.

"Ahem, screaming might be worth a try, but A Nightmare on Elm Street... let's forget about it."

He said this, and then saw Zhan Lan facing him with an awkward yet polite smile—what else could he say? Should he bluntly tell everyone that when he went back to settle scores with Freddy last time, he went too far and dragged the whole world into the dream world to play Bloodborne? Although he managed to clean up the mess afterward, this kind of thing would be exposed as soon as the timeline was checked, and he would lose face completely!

He couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, then lowered his head and remained silent—because he himself felt that his team didn't quite fit the concept of 'vacation'.

Yes, that's right, just that little bit. As for exactly how big that "little bit" is... well, that's a matter of opinion.

“Screaming is not suitable.” Zheng Zha considered it for a moment. “The world view is too weak. Although the main god may strengthen it, there is also the possibility that it will not be strengthened. Rather than risk trying, it is better to choose a more valuable world from the beginning.”

He reached out his hand, his consciousness connecting with the Supreme God. The "World Coordinate Exchange" section that Alice had mentioned quickly came into his view. He soon flipped to world coordinates that looked very promising, such as "Dungeons & Dragons," "Divine Spells, Divine Might, and Divine Music," and "Wrath of the Gods."
