Chapter 258: Chapter 258: Grand Finale
As the glass shattered across the floor, Xu Qingsui walked out, supporting Jiang Xu.
Lu Jingyu and the other two arrived late, just in time to see Xu Qingsui helping Jiang Xu out like a beauty rescuing a hero. Seeing Lu Jingyu’s group, Xu Qingsui merely nodded in acknowledgment. She gently laid Jiang Xu on the ground and released her spiritual power to heal his spirit body.
After devouring the glacier’s pollution source, Xu Qingsui’s Spiritual Power had increased significantly. Healing Jiang Xu’s spirit body was practically effortless for her.
Soon, all six Contract partners were standing before Xu Qingsui.
At this point, Xu Qingsui didn’t have the energy to say much. She had only one thought left in her mind.
"All the answers are just ahead. Let’s go take a look together!"
Along the way, Li Xianxu and his group had learned a bit about the pharmaceutical company, but Lu Jingyu’s group was still in the dark. Yet, hearing Xu Qingsui’s words now, a surge of warmth rushed through everyone’s hearts. They had only one thought left: to accompany Xu Qingsui to the very end.
No one spoke as the group followed behind Xu Qingsui, striding forward.
Passing through the glacier, a scene completely opposite to the icy wasteland appeared before them. The pharmaceutical company that Xu Qingsui had seen many times in her memory fragments now stood before everyone. Above the facility, a massive chimney was continuously spewing pollution sources into the outside world.
Seeing this, no explanation from Xu Qingsui was needed. Everyone understood that everything they were suffering from right now originated from here. Instantly, a surge of anger welled up in everyone’s hearts.
With a command from Xu Qingsui, the group stepped into the pharmaceutical company.
Entering the facility felt like walking into a massive laboratory. As a laboratory director himself, Shen Yan was the most familiar with this kind of equipment. After briefly glancing over some of the experimental apparatus, Shen Yan’s expression darkened. He looked back at Xu Qingsui, a newfound trace of pity in his eyes.
"What did you find?" Noticing Shen Yan’s expression, Xu Qingsui guessed that something was wrong.
"Everything here is connected to you. Not only that, but also something about a zombie Apocalypse... I don’t quite understand it, but you should."
Shen Yan’s words exploded in Xu Qingsui’s ears. She had originally thought her accidental soul transmigration was simply related to this pharmaceutical company, but she hadn’t expected that even her previous life was deeply tied to it. She had actually been used as a guinea pig for two lifetimes! She was even more pitiful than the test subjects in Shen Yan’s laboratory.
A wave of sorrow washed over Xu Qingsui, but following the sorrow, an even greater fury ignited. She was her own person. Her fate could not be decided by anyone else.
Without another word, Xu Qingsui charged directly into the depths of the pharmaceutical company. They wanted to control her? Then she would devour every last pollution source! From now on, she would never be anyone’s guinea pig again.
Seeing Xu Qingsui suddenly dash off, the six men had no choice but to follow closely behind. At that moment, all kinds of Mutants began swarming out of the pharmaceutical company, but before they could even get close to Xu Qingsui, they were cleared out by the six men.
Fighting their way to the deepest part of the facility, a glowing object resembling a nuclear reactor appeared before everyone. The top of the glowing object connected directly to the massive chimney outside.
Xu Qingsui’s eyes narrowed. This was the core pollution source.
Immediately, amidst the six men’s astonishment, Xu Qingsui walked straight toward the glowing object. Lu Jingyu wanted to stop her, unwilling to watch Xu Qingsui take such a risk, but Shen Yan held him back.
"There must be many things going on here that we don’t understand, things only Qing Sui knows. Let her handle it herself!"
Lu Jingyu hesitated but ultimately relented.
Approaching the glowing mass, Xu Qingsui merged with it entirely. Immediately after, the Golden Octopus emerged, devouring the light radiating from the object.
As it consumed more and more, the Golden Octopus underwent a transformation. Its size constantly expanded, and many more tentacles sprouted from its body. Consequently, Xu Qingsui’s Spiritual World seemed to expand as well, transforming directly into a boundless, vast ocean. Not only that, but all the various attributes within Xu Qingsui’s body also became abundantly full.
Xu Qingsui slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the now-dimmed nuclear reactor before her, she suddenly reached out and made a grasping motion in the air toward it. With that single motion, the nuclear reactor seemed to suffer a massive impact, instantly shattering and turning into nothingness.
The giant Golden Octopus floated in front of Xu Qingsui. It had now manifested a physical form, meaning even Lu Jingyu and the others could see its existence.
[Congratulations to the host. You have successfully devoured the pollution core of the Apocalypse Pharmaceutical Company. Your Spiritual World has been upgraded to MAX!]
[Power represents everything. Your current Spiritual Power can already override this world.]
[The rules here can no longer bind you. You can even rewrite the rules!]
[As long as you wish, you can even reconstruct this world!]
[You no longer need me now, but I will always guard your Spiritual World. Whenever you need me, I will appear at any time.]
After delivering its messages, the giant Golden Octopus’s figure slowly faded away.
Meanwhile, the six men standing on the sidelines, having realized everything that had happened, looked at Xu Qingsui with peculiar expressions.
Finally, Lu Jingyu was the first to speak. "So, you are the ruler of this world now? Should we call you our queen?"
Xu Qingsui’s mouth twitched. "Just stick to calling me by my name! I’ve never wanted to be any sort of ruler. I just want everything in this world to return to normal, without any of those bizarre rules anymore!"
As soon as Xu Qingsui finished speaking, a golden light radiated from her body, soaring toward every corner of the world.
The lands illuminated by the golden light immediately began to change. The glacier before their eyes rapidly melted. The haze in the originally gloomy sky quickly faded away, and long-lost sunlight spilled through the gaps in the clouds.
Everyone was astonished at first, then they all turned to look at Xu Qingsui.
"You’re not a queen anymore. You’re a Mage!"
Xu Qingsui’s mouth twitched again, too lazy to entertain their nonsense.
Taking advantage of the others’ inattention, Lu Jingyu leaned in close to Xu Qingsui. "Qing Sui, the world is at peace now. Are you going to consider settling down and starting a family? Let me take care of you from now on, okay?"
Having followed her all this way, Lu Jingyu finally spoke the words from the bottom of his heart.
However, right after he spoke, the other five instantly widened their eyes. They had been careless!
"Qing Sui, consider me instead! I’m much more suitable than this guy surnamed Lu!"
"Watch your words, my surname is also Lu. Qing Sui, let’s have a proper chat..." Lu Shiyin jumped out. Since his surname was also Lu, he couldn’t let himself get caught in the crossfire.
"Qing Sui, we could discuss everything from medicine to the meaning of life!"
Seeing all six men crowding around her, Xu Qingsui’s scalp went numb. She immediately quickened her pace, walking back in the direction they came from.
"Um, my mom is calling me home for dinner. You guys have fun chatting!"
