Gu Chaoyan had just entered the chaotic s.p.a.cetime when she was met with the sound of laughter.
This immediately furrowed her brow. If she had known where this voice originated from within the chaotic s.p.a.cetime, she would have undoubtedly dragged the man responsible out and given him a piece of her mind. He always seemed to derive amus.e.m.e.nt from mocking her in her presence.
It was infuriating beyond measure.
It felt as though he held sway over everything. Gu Chaoyan harbored an aversion to this sensation, particularly when she suspected that this man must have known her from a previous encounter.
“You’ve arrived sooner than I antic.i.p.ated. I thought it would be some time before our paths crossed again after the previous mission, ” the voice within the chaotic s.p.a.cetime spoke candidly.
However…
As soon as he finished his statement, Gu Chaoyan’s attention was drawn to the book that allowed her to select tasks.
The book emanated a radiant, sacred light.
Rather than engaging in an argument with the chaotic s.p.a.cetime, Gu Chaoyan opted to peruse the available tasks.
It had to be acknowledged that the chaotic s.p.a.cetime was exceedingly astute. Gu Chaoyan had never treated him with much courtesy.
This marked her second perusal of the mission book, and she swiftly discerned that every time she opened it, the contents were entirely different.
It was as if the missions had undergone an update.
Now, she needed to once again scrutinize these missions and contemplate which one would be the most suitable.
She exhibited great discernment, eschewing a thorough perusal of numerous missions because she knew all too well that she stood no chance of completing many of them.
He conducted a thorough evaluation among several missions that appeared more fitting.
Upon careful consideration, Gu Chaoyan settled on a task that she felt morally compelled to undertake.
The mission’s backdrop was set in Jinwei Land.
The martial arts civilization of Jinwei Land surpa.s.sed that of Southern Mist, and the continent they inhabited boasted a somewhat richer supply of spiritual energy.
However…
Jinwei Land stood out for a rather peculiar reason.
In the realm of martial arts civilization, Jinwei Land was likely the sole ent.i.ty Gu Chaoyan had encountered that claimed women were inherently incapable of practicing martial arts. Consequently, only men were permitted to engage in martial practice within Jinwei Land, while women endured a significantly lower status, bordering on servitude.
Even women hailing from aristocratic lineages faced arduous lives.
The mission revolved around a woman blessed with innate cultivation talent.
Yet, the mission’s protagonist had met a grim fate. As her cultivation prowess grew, she acquired a precious cultivation bead. However, due to her gender, her brothers within the clan seized the cultivation bead and subjected her to a brutal beating. Ultimately, she succ.u.mbed to indignation and perished.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t help but sigh.
The plight of the women in this land was truly heart-wrenching.
“I’ll choose this one,” Gu Chaoyan declared, pointing to the task.
“You’re still the same as always, unfailingly compa.s.sionate,” the chaotic s.p.a.cetime remarked. Her choice didn’t surprise him; she had always been inclined toward such missions.
This particular mission posed significant challenges. To successfully complete it, Gu Chaoyan would need to alter the fate of the female protagonist in Jinwei Land, enabling her to escape her grim destiny within the confines of the male-dominated society. Jinwei Land had adhered to these gender roles for centuries, and any attempt at change would be met with staunch opposition from the male populace. The female protagonist had been conditioned with this mindset since childhood, making change an arduous endeavor. The mission entailed a mult.i.tude of tasks, and the rewards were relatively modest.
Yet, she consistently embraced such missions.
Gu Chaoyan couldn’t deny it.
Indeed, part of her nature was rooted in kindness..
