"State your name and affiliation."


    An aged voice boomed the instant Alexandra regained her senses, almost directly bursting her eardrums.


    "Agh!" She eximed as she covered her ears.


    "State your name and affiliation."


    The voice rang out again. Blood gushed through the cracks in Alexandra''s fingers, spurting onto the floor around her.


    Thud!


    Alexandra copsed to her knees. Her head was ringing, she couldn''t form a coherent thought, the world around her was spinning uncontrobly, and it felt like any movement she made would kill her.


    She closed her eyes and clenched her teeth in an attempt to muffle her voice and endure the pain. Just as she did, the ancient voice rang out again.


    "Sta—"


    "Stop."


    A second voice rang out instead, quelling the furious power of the first.


    Alexandra copsed to the ground convulsing.


    "Look what you have done. How do you expect her to answer your questions in this state? How have you lived for so long and remained the same brainless man?"


    The second voice, that of a gentle woman, admonished the first as it grew closer to Alexandra.


    "Girl, forgive him for his actions. He is an impulsive idiot who doesn''t know how to think properly. He only gained his elder seat through brute strength."


    A warm hand approached in the darkness. The woman ced her palm on the convulsing Alexandra''s forehead and inserted a stream of gentle mana into her body.


    Alexandra''s convulsions immediately stopped. Her body began to heal as well, even bing stronger than it was before.


    She opened her eyes with a slight struggle and looked up, only to be faced with the most beautiful woman she''d ever seen.


    "S-senior! Thank you for saving me!" She immediately eximed, bowing her head.


    The woman smiled. "No need for thanks. As that idiot Third Elder injured you, I have provided you with somepensation. Now, can you tell us who you are?"


    Alexandra immediately nodded,pletely ignoring the Third Elder who''d brought her to the ground in the first ce.


    "Senior, I am Alexandra from the Arcadia Guild. Today, I havee to deliver a message to the Ancient God n Elders."


    "Oh? And the message is from…?"


    "The message is from a friend of mine named Xinyue. From what I know, she is also the Young Master of your Ancient God n."


    The woman nodded. "Indeed she is. Is she the one who told you that code?"


    "Yes, senior, however, she did not tell me what it means."


    "I see…" the woman said with a sigh, "Third Elder, are you ashamed yet?"


    "What nonsense." The Third Elder harrumphed, disinclined to interact further.


    The woman shrugged her shoulders and turned her attention back to Alexandra. "Was there anything else Xinyue told you?"


    "Yes, Xinyue had an additional message. She told me to tell you, ''Enter the golden pce to find the answers we seek.''"


    "Golden pce…?" The woman muttered. "So that mysterious expert is the Ancient Codex Vition? It seems Xinyue has found something interesting."


    "Miss Alexandra, you may leave now. The message had been received."


    Alexandra hesitated for a bit, but in the end, she retreated. However this matter proceeded, it had nothing to do with her anymore. This much was already far above her pay grade.


    Within the Ancient God n camp, the woman sat silently, a group of Elders around her.


    "Madam, why did you let her go? We have no way to verify her intentions, it is not wise to let her loose." An elder said.


    "Indeed, Madam. This is against how we usually conduct ourselves. Especially in the face of an Ancient Codex Vition, we cannot act sox!" Another elder agreed.<novelsnext></novelsnext>


    "Are you all of the same opinion?" The woman asked as she panned her gaze across the elders.


    Several of them avoided her gaze, making their tacit agreement known.


    The woman sighed. "Has our Ancient God n been raising fools all these years? You are only focusing on one part of Xinyue''s message while ignoring the rest. How can I trust you with the n if you act so recklessly?"


    "Listen, Xinyue specifically categorized the vition as Blue Grade. Along with that, she has told us to enter the golden pce ourselves. Does anyone here doubt Xinyue''s loyalty to the n?"


    "Absolutely not! It is impossible for the Young Master to turn traitor!" An elder eximed. His words were followed by numerous murmurs of agreement.


    The woman smiled seeing this. "If Xinyue is not a traitor, then why has she categorized our most supreme vition as a mere Blue Grade?"


    The elders went silent.


    There were several codexes and scripts that the Ancient God n followed. Only the Ancient Codex epassed those rules of the ancestors, mainly the harsh rules in ce for the All-Seeing Eyes.


    If Xinyue specifically stated an Ancient Codex Vition, it meant that she''d found an outsider with All-Seeing Eyes.


    However, along with the several codexes, the Ancient God n had a different system tobel the severity of a crime.


    Blue Grade was second only to Purple Grads. Assigning a Blue rating meant Xinyue thought the outsider was extremely powerful and needed to be carefully confronted.


    However, it also meant she didn''t think the problem was worthy of being Purple Grade.


    For Ancient Codex Vitions, Purple Grade was essentially guaranteed.


    "When was thest time there was a change in the Mist-Piercing Mirror?" The woman suddenly asked.


    Immediately, every elder''s eyes widened into saucers.


    Right, how could they forget?


    The Mist-Piercing Mirror that could be used to locate any trace of Ancient God n bloodline and the All-Seeing Eyes in the universe hadn''t budged in several thousand years.


    No member of the Ancient God n had vited their doctrine, and no existing threat remained in the universe.


    If so, then how did this person get their hands on the All-Seeing Eyes?


    "This must be the question Xinyue hasn''t been able to answer. By the fact that she was able to easily send a messenger to us, it is clear that the other party is not hostile. I suggest we peacefully confront him before resorting to more unscrupulous means."


    "Does anyone have any objections?"


    The woman''s eyes panned over the elders once more, lingering on the few who''d tried to educate her a moment ago.


    There were no responses to her question.


    "Good, then I will personally take a delegation with me to the golden pce after this heavenly material squabble ends. Until then, you are to regard the golden pce and its owner as distinguished guests of our Ancient God n. Any action against him will not be tolerated. Understood?"


    ""Understood!"" The elders responded in unison.


    The woman nodded and sent them out of her residence.


    Left alone, the woman sat in silence for a moment.


    Suddenly, her eyes curved into crescents.


    Her body shuddered as if she was holding back something big.


    ''Is it you? Have I finally found you?'' She wondered inwardly.


    It had been so many years that she''d almost forgotten her identity and purpose.


    The current Ancient God n was nothing like its previous self.


    She had been numb to emotion for so long trying to keep the n surviving, but today, she felt a rush of emotion that almost capsized her.


    Her heart palpitated in curiosity and anticipation.


    ''Young Master, have you finallye?''
