WAO Chapter 347: A forked road

Translated by: La0o9
Proofreader:  Arya

 


The House of Law

This place seemed almost deserted, there were no loud noises, no rowdiness and no Disciples who came and went.

While standing in the great hall of the House of Law, Su Xue Er felt a bit dreary.

Beneath her feet was the floor lined with thick marble stones covered in dust.

Having existed for so many years, these stones weren’t uniform, and was occasionally trembling a bit.

As if there were something below trying to climb out.

Agonized moans and screams could be heard faintly from deep below the ground.

It sounded as if hell itself laid beneath the House of Law.

「 No need to fear, the prison is below, I catch strange things from different worlds from time to time and put them there, usually to study 」Lord Bloodcloak explained.

Su Xue Er nodded, gesturing her understanding.

「 Now, let us talk about your situation 」Lord Bloodcloak solemnly spoke.

“Please tell me, master”

「 At the time you finished your test, do you know why it brought such a large commotion? 」Lord Bloodcloak asked.

“I don’t know” Su Xue Er answered.

「 Normally, the test can only grant the tester reincarnation into a new life, but at the time that you reincarnated, a white robe and scepter was reincarnated with you 」
Lord Bloodcloak smiled and continued: 「 During the process of fate reincarnation, the manifestation of clothing represents identity, and weapons represent your potential and direction of growth 」
「 The white robe is a divine and noble symbol of God's Chosen, while your scepter represents your ruling authority over this set of God's Chosen Laws」

“Ruling authority?”

「 Correct, you are a card-type God's Chosen, thus you can use your scepter to freely use God's Chosen Skills associated with the card without being limited by the number of cards 」
「 Speaking of which, card-type God's Chosens at different points of their cultivation are limited in the amount of cards they can use 」
「 For example, a newly awoken God's Chosen at most only possess 1-3 cards, and they can only use these cards 」
「 But you do not follow this rule 」

“How will I be like then?” Su Xue Er asked.

「 Having the ruling authority over cards, you can freely collect hundreds, thousands of cards, freely using them at will without being restricted by the rank of the cards or your own power 」
「 This is one of the most excellent talents to have 」

Su Xue Er was stunned.

Lord Bloodcloak solemnly took out a blood-colored scroll.

「 Now, when a Disciple becomes a God's Chosen, they will have to pick their own path 」
「 Some wants to travel between the multiple worlds, others want strength to fight against the Apocalypses, some desires to make a mark for themselves within the river of destiny, but they are all paths that each God's Chosen choose for themselves 」
「 Only when a path is chosen, will they be able to gradually collect a combination of cards according to their path 」

Su Xue Er carefully asked: “Many of the books I read said that there are people who chose the wrong path and couldn’t help but release all their powers to start again from scratch”

「 Do you go to the library often? 」Lord Bloodcloak was a bit surprised by that.

“Yes I do, Disciple candidates can enter the library’s first floor, I go there a lot”

Hearing that, Lord Bloodcloak’s impression become even better and smiled: 「 Your talents are exceptional, as well as my only Disciple, so before you choose your path, I will pay a heavy price in order to bring you to the forked road of destiny 」
「 There, you will be able to recognize your true feelings, thus determining the path you really want to take 」
「 That way, you will not choose the wrong path 」

Su Xue Er seriously listened to every word, then bowed deeply: “Thank you, master”

Lord Bloodcloak gave the blood-colored scroll to Su Xue Er.

「 This is our lineage’s bestowal scroll; it’s called ‘The lost fate’ 」

Su Xue Er asked curiously: “The lost fate?”

「 Indeed, it will search for your original fate, letting you see exactly what destiny had waiting for you before it was changed 」
「 Use it well, find the path you truly want to take 」 Lord Bloodcloak said.

“Yes” Su Xue Er answered.
She received the scroll, then looked at Lord Bloodcloak in worry: “This fate, have you seen it?”

「 Even I do not know what is inside, because what manifest differs for each individual 」
Lord Bloodcloak explained: 「 Only the user can see their original fate, and only the forked road of fate knows what the user originally would have experienced 」

Su Xue Er was able to relax.

She used the power in her body to softly envelop the scroll.

A glow of blood appeared from the scroll, carried her and disappeared from sight.

A dark place.

Light gradually came.

A scene began to unfold in front of Su Xue Er.

“Grandpa, grandpa, please let him off, he definitely did not do it on purpose!”

This was her own voice.

Su Xue Er looked over to her herself wearing the dress back in the graduation ball, kneeling on the ground begging her grandpa.

Grandpa then replied: “I can let him off, but granddaughter, you definitely cannot associate with such a shitty brat anymore”

Her father stood on the side, slapping the table in anger: “Purposefully shaming you at the ball, such a beast should never even appear in front of your eyes!”

Her grandpa continued: “If you cut off all ties with him, grandpa can promise you, our Su family will not kill him”

“…Yes, I won’t associate with him anymore, but please let him go”

Su Xue Er looked at her own painful expression and silently felt confused.

What is going on?
During the graduation ball, it was clear that Zhang Ye was the one who tried to frame Gu Qing Shan.
Why are my family members so convinced that Gu Qing Shan was the one who shamed me in the forked road of fate?

The scene changed.

Everyone disappeared.

A familiar female voice shouted in a high-pitched tone: “The ship is about to take off, escort the young lady! No, grab her!”

Mother?

Su Xue Er was noticeable confused.

“I don’t want to leave! I don’t want to go! Why!? Why can’t you help them even a little!”

This was her own voice.

“Help them? You’re still thinking of helping them? Xue Er, this planet is finished, do you still not understand? We can’t save anybody anymore, we are running! We’re running for our lives!” her mother yelled loudly.

The scene started to become clear.

The North Pole.

The giant spacecraft was about to take off.

Su Xue Er stood in their air and looked below.

On the ground, she was restrained by two Professionists.

While her mother stood across from her.

They were glaring at each other.

Not too far from there, the other members of the 9 Lords were boarding the spacecraft one by one.

Su Xue Er descended, stood on one side to observe her original destiny.

This felt surreal to her.

A loud electronic voice announced: [Craft self-maintenance is complete, prepare to take off in 10 minutes]

Su Xue Er realized.

This was the 9 Lords escaping from this planet.

She came forward, carefully watching her own face.

The signs of age have not shown on her face.

At this time, she was sobbing, unwilling to leave: “This was the final battle between the demons and humanity, why aren’t we complying with prior agreements and enter the cultivation world to protect humanity’s last stronghold!? This is treachery!”

Cultivation world?
Where is that?

Su Xue Er didn’t understand.

Her mother angrily: “What treachery! You think I don’t know; you’re simply worried about that brat!”

Su Xue Er froze.

Mother coldly laughed: “I know you’ve been silently helping him all these years, but you can’t even protect your own life now, what good will seeing him do?”

A figure came and flew in front of Su Xue Er.

The Protector of the 9 Lords.

She softly rubbed Su Xue Er’s head and tried to persuade her: “Xue Er, you are the most talented heir, be good and get on the spacecraft, I will have your father transfer the title of Lord to you right away”

“Protector, we can’t just flee!” Su Xue Er exclaimed.

Bam!

The Protector lightly struck Su Xue Er’s nape.

Su Xue Er fell unconscious.

The Protector of the 9 Lords sighed and spoke: “Xue Er, you simply don’t know the true terror of the demons. If we were able to win, why would I have to bring all of our people to flee”
