"I have no interest in your trivial matters, but since you're asking, I'll tell you what you want to know." Gui Qu Lai Xi took a sip of tea, then languidly half-reclined on the sofa, gazing at Lin Luo and speaking lazily, "What you want to know most right now is probably about the Host, right?" Gui Qu Lai Xi's training method is straightforward, divided into two steps: first, build physical fitness in the real world; once physical conditioning is satisfactory, then enter the illusory world to train mental fortitude... Don't think these two methods are easy; if you think that, you are terribly mistaken. Misaka Mikoto, a mid-level Earth Rank, couldn't even last five minutes during her first attempt at Gui Qu Lai Xi's initial training before passing out.

If Gui Qu Lai Xi hadn't kept her barely alive, her physical body could have completely disintegrated.

Of course, everyone has passed the first hurdle now and entered the illusory world to train their mental conditioning. That’s why Lin Luo feels an emptiness, as only the mechanical maid and Gui Qu Lai Xi remain in the entire Sky City. As for those relocated from other worlds, like the Crimson King and others, she sent them off to various corners of the world, under the guise of fostering world development, but in reality, she found too many people too noisy.

Currently, all the girls have reached at least Earth Rank, and several who were already Earth Rank are striving for the peak or advanced stages of Earth Rank. Among them, Mikoto is pushing towards Heaven Rank, although in Gui Qu Lai Xi's estimation, the current success rate is not very high, around three in a thousand.

Although a three-in-a-thousand chance is minuscule, nearly impossible, for Mikoto, who possesses infinite potential, creating a miracle is still a possibility.

As for those who just arrived, like Arturia, they first undergo the initial physical conditioning training. Naturally, they cannot endure the same intensity as Mikoto's training. The difficulty adjusts automatically based on their inherent strength. For instance, when Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura trained, their strength was only at the advanced Spirit Rank, so their difficulty was only two stars. Rin Tohsaka, at the initial Earth Rank, faced a four-star difficulty, while Misaka Mikoto, at mid-level Earth Rank, faced five stars.

Because of this, even though Mikoto was the strongest, she was the first to collapse during the preliminary training.

Of course, although all this training was devised by Gui Qu Lai Xi, she doesn't need to teach them personally. There is a special intelligent system in place; otherwise, managing so many people across so many tiers would exhaust her to death if she taught them one by one.

This is why she can currently converse leisurely with Lin Luo in the main hall.

"All the girls are in the illusory world? What about Chō Suzuin?" Lin Luo asked suspiciously. It's not surprising the Host can withstand Gui Qu Lai Xi's training, and it shouldn't be too difficult for the Heroic Spirits either, but given Chō Suzuin's constitution, he doubted she could reach Earth Rank this quickly.

"Oh, that brat isn't part of the training regimen," Gui Qu Lai Xi replied. "Her potential lies not in strength, but in her mind. I visited a few worlds with advanced technological civilizations before and acquired some data. Seeing her aptitude in that area, I threw all that information to her." "I see. I should go visit her later then." Lin Luo realized. Since he couldn't see the Host right now, seeing Chō Suzuin would be good; after all, it had been quite some time since they last met.

However, Gui Qu Lai Xi waved her hand dismissively, "You better not go; you won't be able to see her." "Why? Is she not in the Sky City?"

"She is, but she suddenly grasped the method for forging Law Weapons a while ago and has locked herself in the research lab on the seventh floor ever since. I have no idea how it's going, but knowing that brat's single-mindedness, even if you stripped naked and danced for her right now, she wouldn't even spare you a glance." Gui Qu Lai Xi looked at him with disdain, as if he were already pole dancing.

"I would never dance on a pole!" Lin Luo couldn't help but retort, but he knew Gui Qu Lai Xi was right. For a science fanatic like Chō Suzuin, once she starts research, she absolutely won't stop until it's finished. If his visit interrupted her inspiration, that would be a grave sin.

"Speaking of which, can Law Weapons truly be made?" Lin Luo wasn't unfamiliar with the term. Although he didn't quite grasp what they were, they always sounded incredibly powerful.

"Perhaps," Gui Qu Lai Xi replied noncommittally.

Lin Luo asked curiously, "How powerful are Law Weapons?"

"Well..." Gui Qu Lai Xi pondered for a moment before saying, "A long, long time ago, I was traveling in a multiverse to relax when I was suddenly attacked by a fleet. Their commander claimed they could casually annihilate a universe, and they were using Law Weapons."

"I see," Lin Luo understood. A weapon capable of destroying a universe was undoubtedly formidable. However, he was now more interested in the story's conclusion. "And then? How did your fight with them go?" Given that level of technology, even Gui Qu Lai Xi should have faced some pressure, right?

"A fight?" But Gui Qu Lai Xi stared at him as if he were an idiot... 'Did you hit your head and damage your brain too?'

Lin Luo scratched his head, finding it hard to comprehend. "The manufacturing data for Law Weapons—you must have snatched it from them, right? Would they just hand it over without a fight?"

"You're half right. I did seize the manufacturing data for Law Weapons from them, but I didn't fight them. I just accidentally wiped them all out..." As she said this, Gui Qu Lai Xi sighed regretfully. "Ah, if only that commander hadn't spoken so offensively, I wouldn't have been so careless. Otherwise, if I could have salvaged all those thousands of ten-thousand-meter-long space cruisers, it could have slightly expanded my Small World warehouse. It's a pity I blasted them all into fragments."

"..." Lin Luo didn't know where to begin his commentary. He could only think that fleet had the worst luck in encountering the older sister figure that was Gui Qu Lai Xi! Weapons capable of destroying universes!

However, since Law Weapons proved so fragile before Gui Qu Lai Xi, he lost interest in pursuing the topic further and instead asked, "How is the situation regarding the God Wars now?" Besides the Host, this was what concerned him most now.

"It's returned to normal, but there's nothing particularly noteworthy. The Dark King and the Evil King have both produced a second generation, and a Demon King emerged in the Fifth God War... The Dark King, Evil King, Demon King, and you four Heavenly Kings could form a mahjong table," Gui Qu Lai Xi chuckled.

Lin Luo felt a dull ache from her flippant remarks but couldn't help asking, "The Dark King and Evil King both have second generations? Who are they? And what's this about a Demon King?" He hadn't expected that in such a short time, two of the Three Kings would be succeeded, and a new power had risen. This was truly maddening!

"You don't need to know about the newly born Dark King and Evil King for now, but the Demon King, you actually know him." Gui Qu Lai Xi gave a mysterious smile, but uncharacteristically, she didn't keep him in suspense. "The Fourth Demon King—Lin Xiaoke."

"Lin Xiaoke?!" Lin Luo was instantly stunned. That serious yet somewhat airheaded blonde beauty who would wet herself out of fear when he startled her—she had become a Demon King?

What kind of international joke was this?!

Seeing Lin Luo's look of disbelief, Gui Qu Lai Xi rolled her eyes at him. "What's so strange about that? Lin Xiaoke's current strength isn't far behind yours before you died. Becoming Heaven Rank is only a matter of time. That's why I said you should worry about yourself; among the four World Kings, you are currently the weakest." As she spoke, Gui Qu Lai Xi sat up and smiled, "So, after dying once, what insights have you gained regarding Heaven Rank?" With her words, Lin Luo dared not be careless and said solemnly, "I have a little bit, regarding stepping outside the world."

"You even know about that? Not bad. In that case, I happen to have a gift for you." Saying this, Gui Qu Lai Xi turned and called out, "Yanye, bring me that bottle."

"Okay." Yanye's response came from a room not far behind. Then, Lin Luo saw her trotting over, holding a thirty-centimeter-tall bottle, pata-pata.

After Yanye placed the bottle on the table, Lin Luo looked down and found it empty, prompting him to ask, "What is this?"

"You can't tell?" A teasing smile played on Gui Qu Lai Xi's lips.

Lin Luo paused, simultaneously activating his Eye of Insight and Perception Domain. Although he still saw nothing, he vaguely sensed a familiar aura, and he quickly realized whose aura it was, nearly jumping up, "Could it be?!"

Gui Qu Lai Xi chuckled lightly. "It is that 'could it be.' How does it feel to see him again?"

"Besides wanting to laugh, I also want to throw him into a cesspool," Lin Luo stated frankly. He genuinely had the urge to immediately toss this bottle into a septic tank.

Gui Qu Lai Xi paid him no mind, instead looking at the small maid beside her and laughing, "Yanye has already done that."

"Huh?" Lin Luo was instantly startled and subconsciously looked toward Yanye.

"Hehe." Under their gazes, Yanye scratched her head and smiled shyly, looking very embarrassed.

Lin Luo was speechless. Indeed, when it came to sadism and heavy tastes, no one in the Sky City could surpass this maid.

Since someone had already taken revenge on his behalf, Lin Luo wasn't in a rush to throw it again. But as his gaze fell upon the bottle, he couldn't help but burst into laughter because what was imprisoned inside was Destiny!

Not a clone of Destiny, but the original body!

The God of Destiny, who had killed Lin Luo with just a clone back then, now had his main body trapped in such a small bottle, and moreover, had been subjected to such and such by Yanye...

The moment Lin Luo thought of this, he felt completely relieved.
