For the first time since Jiu Ge had arrived in this world, his silicon crystal “heart” sensed the perceptions of another being.

  Right now, he was processing the massive volume of information he had collected over ten years.

  The pair of infant sisters from back then had grown into graceful, elegant young women.

  While Huahua diligently pored over human classics in the Sword Pavilion for Jiu Ge, ten years slipped by in the blink of an eye.

  High above the clouds of the Hexa Crystal Realm floated Wensi Academy, the continent’s most prestigious elite institution. Its annual freshmen enrollment day had finally arrived.

  The academy was bustling and lively.

  Among the crowd, the young girl who drew every eye shone like a dazzling star — Mo Jing.

  She bore the exact same name as the infant who had once been part of Project A at the bottom of the Abyss.

  Now, Mo Jing wore a moon-white combat robe. Tall, elegant, and calm, she carried an air of quiet detachment, like a solitary orchid blooming in a secluded valley — independent and unyielding.

  Beside her were Ji Wuli, Yun Juan, and Yun Shu — all equally outstanding and striking.

  As soon as the four appeared, they became the undisputed center of the Temple Square. Curious and envious glances swept over them, and murmurs rippled through the crowd.

  But Mo Jing remained unmoved, as if trapped within her own world.

  Then the upperclassmen announced the rules of Wensi Academy.

  The academy’s curriculum was divided into Six Stages.

  Students had to complete and pass each stage before advancing to the next.

  Those who finished all Six Stages perfectly would qualify for the Demigod Trial.

  The victor of the Trial would possess a boundless future and infinite potential.

  As the teleportation formation slowly activated, Mo Jing and her friends were assigned to Class A.

  During the first basic public lecture, Mo Jing, from a major clan, already knew everything being taught.

  She closed her eyes gently, and her consciousness sank into her Sea of Consciousness.

  Ever since she was ten years old, a phantom of an old man who called himself Professor Jiu had appeared in her mind from time to time.

  Now the professor’s voice echoed excitedly inside Mo Jing’s consciousness:

  His analysis of the spiritual jade energy within her had achieved a major breakthrough.

  After precise research, the fluctuation frequency of the jade core showed a 2.1% homology with the energy field of the North Dynasty’s forbidden zone, the Abyss Chasm.

  This discovery strongly suggested that the spiritual jade came from a lost advanced civilization.

  Furthermore, Professor Jiu pointed out that Mo Jing’s genetic sequence contained countless “redundant” fragments that could not be explained by modern biology.

  These fragments were like carefully designed blueprints, hiding countless unknown secrets.

  Her mysterious origins left Mo Jing filled with doubt.

  Professor Jiu suggested she visit Wensi Academy’s library to search for records about

  the history of the Abyss Chasm, lost civilizations, and ancient genetic techniques.

  There, she might find clues to unlock the mystery of her origins.

  Mo Jing finally realized that she was far from the “orphan” her adoptive father had described.

  Her eyes turned sharp and resolute.

  She had one clear goal:

  to uncover the truth of her own existence.

  From then on, every night when the world fell silent, Mo Jing studied earnestly with Professor Jiu inside her Sea of Consciousness.

  The knowledge he taught was vast and profound. Mo Jing absorbed it greedily, growing stronger each day.

  The Mo Clan’s businesses were outdated and struggling to survive.

  During a break, Mo Jing combined advanced business models from Earth and wrote

  A Plan for Membership Grading and Supply Chain Optimization.

  After reading the plan, the clan head was deeply impressed by her talent and placed a nearly bankrupt shop under her management.

  Mo Jing acted decisively, implementing her ideas with sharp efficiency.

  With keen business insight and bold reforms, she turned the shop completely around.

  In just three months, revenue increased twentyfold.

  Mo’s Supermarket became famous overnight, sending shockwaves through the business world.

  When the news reached Wensi Academy, her friends admired her immensely.

  But Mo Jing was not blinded by success.

  She understood clearly: commercial achievement was only a tool for gathering resources.

  Her gaze remained firmly fixed on the bottomless Abyss Chasm.

  She believed that once she gathered enough strength and capital, she would uncover the secrets hidden deep within the Abyss — and the truth of her own identity.

  As soon as the basic public lesson ended, a two?month break arrived unexpectedly.

  Mo Jing, Ji Wuli, Yun Juan, and Yun Shu decided not to return home.

  Instead, they accepted Ji Wuli’s warm invitation and headed to his luxurious family manor for a vacation.

  The Ji Clan was one of the North Dynasty’s great families, and Ji Wuli’s father was the lord of a major city.

  The manor was unimaginably vast, magnificent, and steeped in heritage.

  Even more excitingly, Ji Wuli’s older sister — Ji Ruxu — who had graduated from Wensi Academy and earned the title of Demigod, was currently home.

  For any cultivator, receiving guidance from a Demigod was a once?in?a?lifetime opportunity.

  The four rode in the Ji Clan’s luxurious, comfortable pegasus carriage toward the manor outside the city.

  Inside the carriage, Ji Wuli leaned against the wall, resting with eyes closed. His beauty was breathtaking in the shifting light.

  Yun Juan sat upright, eyes closed in meditation.

  Yun Shu lifted the curtain curiously, her eyes wide as she admired the speeding scenery outside.

  Mo Jing looked at her three companions, her thoughts drifting.

  Ji Wuli appeared delicate and charming, but he was extremely thoughtful and protective of her.

  Yun Juan was quiet and serious, with godlike talent in mathematics and logic.

  Yun Shu was warm and outgoing, with a natural gift for business.

  These three might very well become her first reliable allies on the path to uncovering her origins.

  When they arrived at the manor, servants were already lined up to welcome them.

  A woman in a simple long dress, with a cold, moonlike aura, stood at the front.

  This was Ji Ruxu.

  Her gaze swept over the four and paused slightly on Mo Jing, a faint trace of surprise flashing across her face.

  “Sister!” Ji Wuli ran over cheerfully.

  Ji Ruxu nodded slightly and said to Mo Jing and the others:

  “Welcome to the Ji Manor. Wuli can be mischievous. Thank you all for taking care of him at the academy.”

  Her voice was calm, yet carried undeniable authority — the confidence and aura of a Demigod.

  That night, the Ji Clan held a feast in their honor.

  During the banquet, Ji Ruxu casually asked Mo Jing about the operational details of Mo’s Supermarket.

  Mo Jing answered fluently, her insights sharp and incisive, making Ji Ruxu’s eyes glow with approval.

  After the feast, Ji Ruxu kept Mo Jing behind.

  “Miss Mo, do you know why I kept you?”

  Mo Jing’s expression was calm. “I ask for Senior Sister’s guidance.”

  Ji Ruxu’s eyes turned sharp.

  “Your soul aura is different from others. Its condensation far exceeds that of your peers — it does not even belong to the common cultivation systems of this world. You carry a great secret.”

  Mo Jing’s heart jolted, but her face did not change.

  “Senior Sister jokes. It is merely that the technique I cultivate is somewhat unusual.”

  Ji Ruxu did not press further.

  “Your business ideas seem clever, but they actually align with the laws of heaven and earth. Only immense wisdom could create such things. Someone powerful is guiding you.”

  Mo Jing remained silent.

  Ji Ruxu spoke softly, “Rest assured, I have no interest in your secret. But I warn you —

  excessive brilliance invites disaster.

  The North Dynasty is not as peaceful as it appears. Be careful.”

  With that, she turned and left.

  Mo Jing returned to her guest room, her mind in turmoil.

  Ji Ruxu’s words confirmed her fears:

  in front of true power, her abnormality could not be hidden.

  She immediately sank back into her Sea of Consciousness.
