When Bai Qingshuang said this, even Pope Fan Zhen felt somewhat perplexed.

An opportunity to become Monarch? What do you mean?

"There's no harm in telling you now, as I had never intended to conceal anything. To become a Monarch, apart from one's own power, one needs something different. For example, a set of rules that truly belongs to oneself. I already have a set of rules that truly belongs to me, so I plan to use Truth to replace Li Ming."

To use Truth to replace Li Ming?

Fan Zhen still didn't understand what Bai Qingshuang meant.

"Are you referring to another name for the Dawn Disc, the Truth Disc?"

"No, Li Ming is Li Ming, and Truth is Truth. The two are different."

As Bai Qingshuang spoke, she slowly lifted her hands high up as she did in the shelter, and a golden disc gradually appeared in the center of her palms.

"I am the Truth."

BOOM!

The entire wooden hut shattered explosively, Pope Fan Zhen and Judgment Chief Bai Qingshuang continued their standoff amidst the fractured dust. At this moment, the Pope's body was filled with a Holy Radiance as pure as Qi Xinzhu's. From the current situation, it seemed Pope Fan Zhen was not entirely without the power to fight. At least, he had the ability to strike back under the Judgment Chief's attack. However, he now looked incredulously at the disc in Bai Qingshuang's hand. Having encountered the Dawn Disc many times before, he was very familiar with it. But the disc in Bai Qingshuang's hands was clearly not the Dawn Disc; the properties of their powers were completely different.

"Bai Qingshuang, what exactly have you become?"

"I am fortunate, so you all should be unfortunate!"

A radiance of Sequence descended from the heavens, a golden pillar of light enveloping Bai Qingshuang. The dark clouds in the sky also dispersed. The sunlight shone onto the earth once more, nourishing the land, and the warmth enchanted all the people of the Wasteland. They put down what they were doing, looked up at the long-missed sunshine in the sky, and felt a slight pang of emotion.

"Such a rare sight, the sunshine!" an elderly person sighed with a sense of longing.

"Is this the sun? It's really warm!" a young person who had never seen the sun exclaimed with a smile.

Similar scenes occurred in every corner of the Wasteland. Even the Exotic Species, who had laid down their killings and feedings, looked up at the sky. Accustomed to darkness, sunlight should have been something very disagreeable to them. Yet when it actually shone upon them, they experienced an unusual sense of comfort. Some leaders of the Exotic Species saw their subordinates no longer obeying their commands and became somewhat agitated. But as they looked to the sky, they too found long-lost tranquility within their hearts. This feeling was truly marvelous.

In the Fourth Ring, Nightmare Demon, Noah, and Qiao Xin sat together, watching the sun that had appeared in the sky. Even they, faced with such a power, were speechless for a long time.

"This person must be close to Eighth Order now."

As the most ancient Monarch of the Eighth Order Exotic Species, Noah had seen the sun appear in the sky not many times, but still quite a few. However, such warm sunlight, even he was experiencing it for the first time.

"Is the Eighth Order of humankind truly this terrifying?"

Compared to Noah, Nightmare Demon's reaction was far worse; she was filled with vigilance and a sense of crisis because the power coming from the sky was clearly beyond her capacity to contend with.

"It's not the terror of a human Eighth Order, but the terror of a perfect Eighth Order. This person is not like us; she is flawless. Should be the legendary Judgment Chief, right, Mr. Qiao Xing?"

Compared to them, Qiao Xing's reaction was much more serene. He had already picked up his phone and made a call home.

"Hello! Li Lan? Hurry up and bring Qiao Xiao Mi out to see the sun! Good heavens, it's a rare sight, happens maybe once a decade! Take all those moldy cups at home out as well; Lu Luo said sunbathing can prevent them from molding."

In fact, Qiao Xing also didn't know why the Judgment Chief's power was so immense. They were all Seventh Tier, and he also attained his breakthrough through his own efforts, without absorbing the power of the Dawn Disc. But this feeling allowed Qiao Xing to be certain he absolutely could not be an opponent for the Judgment Chief. The gap between them far exceeded the limit of an ordinary Seventh Tier; it wasn't a matter of cultivation or talent anymore. Or it could be said, Bai Qingshuang's talent was extraordinary.

"What on earth has that woman experienced over these years?"

As a Fourth Ring resident, Qiao Xing had actually seen Bai Qingshuang a few times when he was younger. Back then, she wasn't so outrageous.

"She was just like the sun."

Nightmare Demon, at the side, was still frowning. The sun, like the most righteous and bright power, while her power was the dark Nightmare. When Nightmare encounters light, it can only be mercilessly dispersed. Like her now, looking at the sunlight in the sky, she even felt as if both her body and soul were being burnt together—truly outrageous.

Noah, on the other hand, was doing better. He blankly stared at the sun in the sky and slowly said, "This feeling, it really is heartwarming!"

"Human will might become unified, and that is not a good thing for us."

"Humans should have had this realization long ago. To unify their own will now, it's already too late. They clearly possess wisdom far surpassing that of the Exotic Species, yet they lagged behind the Exotic Species by more than a hundred years."

It was at this time that Qiao Xing finally rejoined the conversation.

"Perhaps it is precisely because of human wisdom that it causes humans to stand still. Because wisdom is something that needs determination and willpower to wield. Once wisdom lacks a suitable wielder, wisdom itself becomes a wild and untamed horse. It will wildly grow within many people's hearts, eventually becoming desire and ambition. Wisdom filled with desire and ambition is no longer the wisdom that humans need, which is why humans at that time can only mark time."

Forget it, let's continue watching! All three thought simultaneously that they might be about to witness an epic unique to the Wasteland Alliance.

Inside the Inner Ring, the Judgment Chief and the Pope were still confronting each other. The Pope looked at the sun in the sky and had an epiphany about Bai Qingshuang's choice.

"Is this your confidence, replacing Li Ming with Truth?"

"I need pressure. Give me some pressure; otherwise, I will not be able to break through. Pope Fan Zhen, you control the Church, brainwash human souls, and condone families and old church power exploiting and oppressing the Wasteland Alliance. You poison human spirits, absorb human belief, and incite believers to create chaos within the Alliance. I, Judgment Chief Bai Qingshuang, declare you are guilty!"

Golden light burst in the air between them, sending a dozen split beams sweeping across the surroundings. One of the beams struck right at the center of the Second Ring's cathedral. Then, the building, which had stood for nearly 300 years, thunderously shattered. The believers, who had been praying to the sun, were instantly dumbfounded, oblivious to what had befallen the Church at that moment.

"Is Li Ming coming to judge us?"

The two in the storeroom, having just been intimate, had already dressed themselves. At this time, Qi Xinzhu still clung to Lu Luo like an octopus. Her face still flushed with the afterglow, she appeared exceptionally charming and beautiful. Unable to resist, Lu Luo pecked her, then tugged at her and said, "Let's go. My injuries are mostly healed, and we've taken care of more serious matters. Now is the time to address our issues. Find the Judgment Chief, explain the situation clearly, and hand over the Star of Li Ming to her—that should do it!"

Hearing Lu Luo's words, Qi Xinzhu seemed somewhat distracted, and with a smirk, said, "Just how 'serious' are these serious matters you're talking about?"

Lu Luo's expression suddenly stiffened. Why were Qi Xinzhu and Bai Yuetong so similar? When it came to moments like this, they both turned into such lewd teases. Why were these women all so lewd?

"Very 'serious' serious matters!" Lu Luo retorted, trying to keep a straight face.

"Before you came here, had you already done 'serious' things with Bai Yuetong?"

Qi Xinzhu blinked, her eyes full of innocence as she looked at him. Lu Luo almost blurted out "how did you know." Fortunately, he had a strong will and decided it was better to beat around the bush at this moment.

"That is…"

"A yes or a no—do you think I don't know that you used to sneak off to see your senior sister every week when you were in the Fourth Ring?"

Lu Luo was somewhat at a loss for words. Why was it that a woman's observational skills in this regard were many times more potent than their combat prowess? Because when it comes to this, every woman is a first-class detective, so friends with stories on the side should be very careful.

Since he was questioned to this point, Lu Luo had to divert attention in another way.

"Huh? You knew about this, too? Xinzhu, your observational skills have become sharper, quite impressive. Do these women have superpowers, perhaps? Precognition? Or super perception? This is way too scary! If such abilities could be used in combat, what a grand thing that would be."

"Enough, stop beating around the bush, will you? Just tell me straight, have you or have you not?"

"Uh… Yes! But there was a reason for it."

Lu Luo still wanted to struggle.

"Oh, there's a reason for it? Are you trying to tell me that you two were kindred spirits and simply couldn't control your feelings?"

Qi Xinzhu was generally easygoing about other matters, but she always harbored an inexplicable hostility towards Bai Yuetong. This was evident from her leniency when Lu Luo visited Han Shiyu, versus her direct questioning about Bai Yuetong. Qi Xinzhu always felt threatened by Bai Yuetong.

"Uh, you know the situation for Dumb Hair and me isn't great. I can handle the council and her father—after all, he favors interests and is easy to talk to. Although he has strength, it's clear that he can't influence Dumb Hair's future. The outcome on Dumb Hair's part still depends on the Judgment Chief. The situation with the Judgment Chief is more complex. They say that the Judgment Chief is somewhat autocratic. There is a high probability she will influence Dumb Hair's future life. So…"

"So you decided to go all in, making the situation irreversible, leaving the Judgment Chief at her wit's end? Quite the strategy, Lu Xiaoluo."

Yes, yes, you had uncovered it—that was exactly what he was thinking.

Lu Luo touched his nose, feeling somewhat embarrassed but also a bit wronged on the inside. This whole event was actually initiated by Dumb Hair, who even snuck in through the window in the dead of night to find him. With such initiative from her, as a normal man, he should be unable to refuse, right?

"Alright, alright, I admit defeat. Should we get up now?"

"Then, let's get up!"

Seeing Lu Luo concede, Qi Xinzhu quietly pecked his cheek and stood up. Qi Xinzhu was now dressed in a new set of Church robes. The robes that Lu Luo had custom-made for Qi Xinzhu weren't like the previous ones that completely covered her figure. This set of black robes perfectly outlined Qi Xinzhu's curves. Alluring, enticing! And what's more, others couldn't have it—how incredibly satisfying.

"Shall we go, my Saintess?"

"Of course, my knight."

The two walked out of the small storage room one after the other, but as soon as they stepped outside, they noticed the sun in the sky.

"Wow, the sun's actually out? This… feels a bit miraculous. Such a warm force! Honey, what do you think?"

Qi Xinzhu gazed at the sun, her eyes crinkling with a smile, her face radiant as if bathed in sunlight. However, Lu Luo standing beside her didn't answer Qi Xinzhu's question. He stared blankly at the sun, his body growing somewhat stiff.

[Discovered same source breath, suspected to be Disc-02!]

[Discovered same source breath, suspected to be Disc-02!]

[Discovered same source breath, suspected to be Disc-02!]

Disc-02? What is that?

Is the '02' following it a sequence number? Like the sequence for Grade S?

[Above the Sequence, no evaluation can be made.]

Got it, Observer as useless as always.

"Lu Luo, what's wrong?"

"Nothing, just thinking that the Judgment Chief might be someone we can get along with."

"Get along with?"

Qi Xinzhu was unclear why such a comment would come from Lu Luo's mouth, but she sensed that his mind was elsewhere.

"What's actually going on with you?"

"Nothing, really, it's just that maybe the Judgment Chief isn't as I imagined."

By now, Lu Luo was starting to suspect whether the Judgment Chief had absorbed the Dawn Disc into herself, which would explain the power she could unleash. But if the Judgment Chief had already absorbed the Dawn Disc, then would the disc in the central part of the First Ring still be there?

Truly enigmatic!

While Lu Luo was pondering, a loud boom came from the direction of the Second Ring.

BOOM!

The Outburst between the Judgment Chief and the Pope unleashed over a dozen golden-white radiances, bearing unstoppable destructive power, which swept around and destroyed everything breakable in their surroundings.

"What's happening?"

"I don't know, but one thing's for sure, there's a Seventh Tier in combat."
