Faced with the threat from the black-robed figure, Nightingale's expression remained unchanged, only a calm weariness:
"Even if you kill me, you won't be the only winner."
“If you kill me, there will be no winner in this trial.”
The figure in black robes nodded without surprise.
"That god race is very strong?"
He roughly guessed who the murderer was.
But the guess wasn't accurate enough.
"That person is not a god."
Nightingale spoke softly, and the black-robed figure's pupils contracted for the third time.
After a long silence… he slowly said:
Tell me everything you know.
……
……
Luo Xiu summoned a gust of wind to wipe away the blood from his hands, along with the mess around him.
When the sunlight shone through the trees, there was no trace of the battlefield left around.
Everything of both races is buried here, sleeping eternally with their brutality.
Luo Xiu cleaned very thoroughly, making sure Leila wouldn't find out about this place.
This was a question he had been pondering, and he finally decided to deal with it in the most direct and straightforward way.
After doing all this, he slowly walked out of the Sunset Forest. The sunlight followed behind him, and the shadows chased after his feet. He added points as he walked, and in this way, he gradually reached the peak of the seventh rank.
He can't break through to the eighth rank.
It's not that it's impossible, but rather that it's best not to.
When he tried to break through to the eighth rank, he felt an aura of destruction spreading across the sky. With the strength of the system, he could naturally break through to the eighth rank, but this world would not be able to withstand it.
Once he breaks through to the eighth rank, this world may very well collapse.
Fortunately, the extra points won't go to waste, as there are still many skills that haven't been upgraded.
Soon, he returned to the Slime Plains and met Miler and Leila there.
"Owner!"
Leila and Miler were sitting on the grassland basking in the sun, and they were very happy to see Luo Xiu arrive.
"Master, have you finished your business?"
Leila asked.
"Not even close."
Luo Xiu sat down next to them and looked at his attribute panel.

All skills have been greatly improved, and even the Supreme Authority has been upgraded to LV.1.
It should be almost done.
Luo Xiu thought to himself, then leaned back and gently nestled into Leila's arms.
"Leila, I'm going to rest for a bit. Call me later."
"Okay. How long will it take before you call me master?"
Leila gently placed Luo Xiu's head on her lap and asked softly.
"Five minutes."
Let's take a five-minute break before we hit the road.
Luo Xiu thought to himself, five minutes is more than enough.
He was really tired.
He knew that the upcoming decisive battle would not be the end, but only the beginning.
If we defeat those two demons, the next step is to lead Dorant to the real Gran Continent.
But could the people here really adapt to that place? How many people would be willing to leave with him? Could he really just leave with everyone and then abandon them? He knew deep down that he couldn't.
This was a journey with no end in sight, so much so that even though the final battle was approaching and he had a high chance of winning, he felt no sense of relaxation whatsoever.
After climbing this mountain, there will be another one.
"Was that your mindset when you moved forward?"
Luo Xiu murmured to himself.
Although he knew this was only the beginning of a long journey, he already felt immense pressure.
Suddenly, he felt a pair of hands gently placed on his forehead.
"Master's forehead is covered in sweat."
Leila said softly, gently wiping the sweat from Luo Xiu's forehead.
This action reminded Luo Xiu of when he first came to this other world and killed his first adventurer. He was ashen-faced because it was his first time killing someone, and Leila had spoken to him in the same soft voice.
There is only this one sentence.
Luo Xiu suddenly felt a sense of peace.
Yes, the future may be uncertain, and the final outcome may not be as we wish.
But he did his best, and at least this time, someone wiped the sweat from his brow and walked with him forward.
……
……
"This is the only way."
The nightingale seemed resigned to its fate, and suddenly felt a sense of ease throughout its body.
The figure in black robes stood beside him, his expression grave.
"How about we try something else—"
“This is the only way.”
Nightingale interrupted him, saying:
"We only have this one chance."
The figure in black robes observed Nightingale's expression; this was the first time he had seen his cousin so serious. He finally sighed.
"It seems that the death of [&&*&&] has had a great impact on you."
The nightingale fell into a brief silence, then finally shook its head:
"It has nothing to do with that guy."
The figure in black robes smiled, no longer dwelling on the topic, and picked up the wine glasses that had just been brought to him, placing one in Nightingale's hand:
"Have some, even if you don't like drinking."
Nightingale took the wine glass, looked at the wine inside, and remained silent for a long time.
"What are you thinking about?"
The figure in black robes asked.
"I'm thinking……"
The nightingale took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled:
"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this now."
"Tell me about it."
The figure in black robes smiled:
"While there's still time."
He paused, then added, in an attempt to persuade Nightingale:
"This may be the last conversation between my brother and me."
The nightingale became even more silent upon hearing this.
After a long while, he raised his middle finger at the figure in black robes:
"Don't fucking talk such discouraging things, you're such an idiot."
Upon hearing Nightingale finally utter a curse, the figure in black robes laughed:
"Let me hear your long-winded explanation, cousin."
Nightingale then took her wine glass and sat down to the side.
