After realizing how important Alice was to her hometown, Lingyi truly did not dare to slack off for even a second, staying by Alice's side all day, fearing that she would suddenly get a crazy idea and end up in danger.

The key point was that, based on her understanding of Alice, she really would do reckless things, and each time her reckless actions were so unexpected.

Alice came to Elm City primarily to take Lingyi to the Spiritual World as per Shen Sui's request.

She was curious why Shen Sui suddenly thought of Lingyi, but judging from the significant change in Lingyi's attitude after returning, it couldn't be said that the trip to the Spiritual World was unfruitful.

Since they had already arrived in Elm City, it was naturally necessary to properly prepare the Twilight Legion.

The Twilight Legion entering Elm City comprised the more elite part of the uprising army, many of whom had magical talent and, under the guidance of Klei and the elite mages of the Elf Race, quickly transformed into a unit composed of fundamental extraordinaries.

However, due to the short time, such a unit was not yet sufficient to contend with the elite legions of other forces, but with the large amount of resources absorbed from the Church of the Master of Thunder, this unit's future looked promising.

When Klei saw Alice again, his feelings were a bit complex.

When Alice left, although he had defected to the Twilight Legion, he was still the East District Archbishop of the Church of the Master of Thunder.

But by the time Alice returned, she had already become the Proxy Pope.

Klei still had faith in Thunder in his heart, although he knew that the Church of the Master of Thunder had decayed to the core. Seeing Alice, a leader of the uprising, become the Proxy Pope of the Church, he couldn't help but sigh.

How on earth did you people let an eighth-level mage become the Proxy Pope?!!!

Klei's heart was shattered, and his belief that the Church of the Master of Thunder was doomed grew even stronger.

Now, under the guise of establishing the pope's personal guards, Alice intended to integrate the elite of the Twilight Legion into the Church.

Klei could already foresee the future where the Church of the Master of Thunder would be completely taken over by the Twilight Legion.

However, thinking about the Church's previous meticulous dominance, Klei suddenly felt that allowing the Twilight Legion to use it as a bridge to integration might not be a bad thing.

After dealing with the affairs in Elm City, Alice wasted no time and immediately set off straight for Bambul City.

And the time had also almost come for Shen Sui to set off.

This time, only Qishala accompanied Shen Sui to Huashan.

Shen Sui's covert operations in Coastal City were actually known by a few people. Although they tacitly pretended not to know, the awkwardness was still there, so this time they tacitly gave the opportunity to Qishala.

Before leaving, Shen Sui went to the Exploration Bureau to submit the investigation results of the task that Wang Ming had assigned him earlier.

He did not mention the matter of Alice being Adoma, but apart from that, he didn't hide much else.

Alice's identity, as Shen Sui used more forms in the competition, really no longer needed to be hidden, but the Adoma form had indeed never appeared. Considering the importance of this undercover mission for Alice, Shen Sui rationally helped Alice keep it hidden, even if the Adoma form was really revealed, he wouldn't use it in an official setting.

Although there were few Life Card Masters in World No. 1, it wasn't that there were none. If by chance a Life Card Master saw Alice switching between Adoma and Hozerville forms and reported it to their Soul Card, Alice's identity could very well be exposed.

Alice wouldn't die, but if her hard-earned career collapsed because of this, it would be a significant blow to the child.

As the Huashan Invitational preliminary competitions opened, the festive atmosphere of Huashan became increasingly intense.

Although the last holiday of the year ended with October's departure, even so, you couldn't stop people from loving high-level Life Card Duel matches.

Even though the preliminaries were held during weekdays, there were still countless duel enthusiasts who came to watch the event live.

Shen Sui met several of his fans on the bus.

However, most of them were there to watch the A-grade matches, and were unaware that Shen Sui would be participating in the Huashan Invitational. They were particularly happy to see Shen Sui and even said they'd come to the venue to support him.

After bidding farewell to the fans, Shen Sui felt a bit disheartened.

"What's wrong?" Qishala noticed Shen Sui's mood and asked in confusion, "Is there something wrong with those people, master?"

Shen Sui shook his head and said, slightly disappointed, "Why are all my fans male?"

"...." Qishala squinted her eyes, her gaze turning dangerous.

Shen Sui said, "Tan Song texted me yesterday, saying that his fans cosplayed the fairy in his card deck to cheer for him."

Qishala didn't know what to say.

This strange rivalry between men.

You already got a follower from your card deck, yet you're still bothered about this?

Shen Sui just casually sighed and lowered his head to study the schedule.

The preliminaries of the Huashan Invitational only had a set start and end time and no specific matchup table, with all player information replaced by the digital codes given during registration.

This meant that the competitors in the preliminaries didn't know who they would be facing, essentially making it a blind box draw situation.
