“What is that?” Gu Qing Shan curiously asked.
Barry told him: “The royal guard said this was a small extra reward that the Empress gave to all members of the club, telling me to only look at it once we return”
“You trust that royal guard? Or do you know them?”
“That’s not it, the Bramble Bird Kingdom wouldn’t use tricks on something like this, not to mention that they don’t need to trick me and Kitty”
Kitty was already unable to hold back her curiosity and urged him: “Quickly open it, I want to see what’s inside”
“Alright”
Barry opened the box.
As soon as the box was opened, a blinding light came from the box and shot into the sky.
The light morphed into symbols that were constantly s.h.i.+fting.
Almost as if the symbols were confirming something.
After a few breaths, the symbols stopped changing.
“What is that?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
Kitty’s expression turned dim: “That was the Iron Fist Club’s spatial coordinates, if anyone obtained it, even a complete stranger will be able to visit us here”
“But the Super Dimensional path authority is still in your hands, as long as you don’t allow them to, they can only stand around the s.p.a.ce vortex, right?” Gu Qing Shan questioned.
“That is true, but coming uninvited like this is still irritating”
Kitty’s ears were twitching, apparently very annoyed.
Barry wasn’t very happy either.
They said it was a gift, but it turns out to be a navigation spell instead. On some level, this could be considered deceiving him.
Barry doubtfully asked: “Even if they obtained our world’s coordinates, without being given permission by me and Kitty, they wouldn’t be able to enter either way—— so I really don’t understand, what’s the point of the Bramble Birds tricking me?”
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit and spoke: “Maybe… Triste still has other accomplices?”
The three of them exchanged looks, feeling the situation getting heavy.

Then, Kitty’s expression twitched a bit as she spoke: “Someone arrived at the vicinity of our Super Dimensional world, currently requesting permission to enter”
She closed her eyes and muttered: “Now, let me see who exactly was it that dared to do this”
Barry also closed his eyes and sensed the s.p.a.ce around.
“I also want to take a look and see what kind of tricks they’re trying to pull” his tone became murderous.
——-even though Barry didn’t know any Spatial spells, he was still the owner of this Super Dimensional world, so he could sense the changes directly around the s.p.a.ce of the Super Dimensional world.
It only took the brother and sister one breath to see the situation outside clearly.
Barry was a veteran, and Kitty wasn’t some clueless sheltered girl, but at this point, both of them showed expressions of shock and awe.
They opened their eyes at the same time.
“Bro, what now?” Kitty asked.
“It doesn’t look like they’re joking with us, let them in” Barry scowled.
“Alright” Kitty replied.
She began to chant the incantation to unblock the Super Dimensional path, allowing the other party entry.
Seeing their reactions, Gu Qing Shan couldn’t understand anything.
He asked: “What happened?”
Barry looked up: “Take a look yourself, they’re here”
Gu Qing Shan looked up.
A large s.h.i.+p appeared from the void of s.p.a.ce.
The s.h.i.+p looks very familiar…
That’s right, this was the Bramble Birds flags.h.i.+p!
A few moments later, Gu Qing Shan indeed saw Laura and Ilya peeking their heads out from the deck of the s.h.i.+p.

Laura was smiling at him.
Kitty explained to Gu Qing Shan: “The entire Bramble Bird fleet is docked outside the Super Dimensional path, their Empress requested entry, but only for this single s.h.i.+p, so I don’t think there would be any danger”
“That’s right, the Bramble Bird race wouldn’t try to do anything to us——- at least, they’ve never tried to do anything to a Super Dimensional world” Barry’s scowl slowly loosened as he spoke.
If the Empress herself was coming to visit them, of course there would be a crucial matter.
If that was the case, then using the coordinates navigation spell was simply to save time, not that they intended to trick me.
Thinking that, Barry and Kitty’s expressions turned much less tense.
“How should we greet them?” Barry asked.
“It’s fine, they came unannounced so we couldn’t have arranged anything, let’s just greet them normally” Kitty answered.
As they were speaking, the s.h.i.+p had already landed.
The Bramble Bird Empress, Laura, wore a crown, a luxurious blue dress with a scepter in her hand as she flew down from the s.h.i.+p.
Behind her, Frost of the Cold Night brought about 10 knights who closely followed behind.
They flew towards the three people of the club.
“Ilya, you can explain everything to Iron Fist Barry and Kitty” Laura ordered.
“Understood”
Ilya then came forward, brought Barry and Kitty to one side to carefully explain to them everything that happened.
Laura walked in front of Gu Qing Shan and looked up at him.
Gu Qing Shan looked at her as he smiled.
“Didn’t we agree to keep this a secret?” he whispered.
“Of course, I only brought with me the 10 knights who experienced what happened in that world first-hand” Laura pointed behind herself.
The 10 knights looked at Gu Qing Shan and smiled in a friendly manner.
Gu Qing Shan also smiled back to greet them.
Since they’ve been through battles together, they could be considered to be close.
Laura then continued: “Barry and Kitty can also be trusted, so telling them about this isn’t anything wrong, is it?”
Gu Qing Shan looked back at Barry and Kitty.
As Ilya explained to them, the shocked expressions on their faces only increased more and more, occasionally glancing back at Gu Qing Shan.
“Fine, they are indeed reliable” Gu Qing Shan agreed.
Then, the conversation stopped here.
They both fell silent.
“I—- have been thinking seriously for a bit” Laura broke the silence and spoke up first.
“Hm?”
“Truthfully, I’ve been thinking to choose the second path, the path that is arduous, the path of constantly challenging myself, constantly growing and becoming stronger, in order to always take charge of my destiny—- that’s what you said, correct?” Laura carefully asked.
“Yes, I believe so” Gu Qing Shan nodded.
“Now I’ve chosen the path I want to take, that’s why…”
Laura took a deep breath and loudly declared: “That’s why my fate will be decided by myself, if I am determined to do something, no one can stop me”
“I am the Sovereign of the Bramble Birds, as long as I wish for something, I will never hesitate to make it happen, only then will my struggle and my effort not be wasted”
She mustered her courage and spoke the words in her mind.
Gu Qing Shan watched over her and said nothing.
Laura waited for Gu Qing Shan’s reply, but nothing came, so she was a bit dispirited.
“Gu Qing Shan, are my words not correct? Can’t you at least give me a reaction”
“Seriously, I’ve been thinking all this time to come up with that answer, before arriving here I even repeated it to myself twice just to be sure…”
The little girl dejectedly muttered her complaints.
Silently listening to her, Gu Qing Shan slowly smiled.
“You said it well, very Empress-like” he told her.
“Do you really think so?”
“I do, I don’t usually lie”
Laura instantly become happy again and spoke: “Ahaha, I knew my thoughts were right”
She then handed a crystal ball to Gu Qing Shan.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the crystal ball.
He recognized it as Triste’s collection world.
At this time, this world had once again been sealed into a crystal ball.
Unlike before, there were no longer any demonized, and no [Demon King Order].
The eternally snowing ice layer.
The deep blue ocean layer.
The underground lost world of the Old G.o.ds.
——this was a strange and precious world, a place where the G.o.ds once resided, and there were possibly a lot more secrets to be discovered.
“I remembered that you promised your Tianma friend to give this world to her” Laura said.
“Erm—hmmmm? Ah right, I did”
“…You big fraud, take it, don’t let her down”
Gu Qing Shan explained: “Actually, I was about to think of some other way to make it up to her, but if you give me this world, that’ll be one less problem to worry about for me”
“Of course I’d give you this world, you’ve saved my life so many times, would the life of THE Bramble Bird Empress not equivalent to a mere world?”
She then shoved the crystal ball into Gu Qing Shan’s hands.
Then, Laura’s expression turned more serious.
“I once promised you, if you were able to help me defeat the [Demon King Order], defeat Triste and take my revenge, I will make you the Duke of our Bramble Bird Kingdom”
She took out a blue medal, lightly lifting it in her hand.
“I know that any news of a non-Bramble Bird becoming a Duke of the Bramble Bird Kingdom will definitely be shocking enough to shake the entire 900 million World Layers”
“I also know that you don’t care much about reputation”
“So now I only want you to make a promise to me——”
“Gu Qing Shan, if one day you feel that you wouldn’t be bothered by having a renowned reputation, would you accept to become a Duke of our Bramble Bird Kingdom?”
Apparently afraid that Gu Qing Shan might reject her, Laura quickly added: “Don’t worry, before you actively announce this yourself, everyone who knows about it on my side will keep it a secret”
Gu Qing Shan smiled: “It must’ve been hard for you to think of everything so thoroughly”
“Then—–” Laura looked at him and hesitantly asked.
Gu Qing Shan came forward in front of Laura and slowly knelt down on one knee.
Laura smiled.
This was just like that time on the plains, when I begged him to take me to the battle together.
At that time, he also knelt down on one knee before standing up to confront the enemies.
Under desperate situations, he had given so much hope, and even brought me out of my own abyss.
So from now on, it’ll be my turn to repay him.
Laura personally attached the medal to Gu Qing Shan’s chest.
Placing a hand on the medal, she silently chanted.
As the incantation sounded, several hundred million World Layers away, the Saint Bramble Tree sent a large piece of its will over and lightly locked onto Gu Qing Shan.
The will of the Saint Tree was here.
Apparently as a witness to everything.
Laura inhaled and sternly spoke: “Under the witness of the Saint Bramble Tree, we will make the following agreement”
“One day in the future, when Gu Qing Shan is willing, he will immediately become the Duke of the Bramble Bird Kingdom”
“The agreement above will be confirmed by both the Bramble Bird Empress Laura and Gu Qing Shan”
“Gu Qing Shan, do you accept?”
She looked at Gu Qing Shan.
The will of the Saint Bramble Tree also focused on Gu Qing Shan.
Barry, Kitty, Ilya as well as the rest of the guards all held their breaths, witnessing this precious moment.
Still kneeling on one knee, Gu Qing Shan looked up at Laura and muttered:
“As you wish, your majesty”
