...
Little Grass (rubbing hands together): "Another rule has ended, and we've arrived at the familiar segment."
Guan Tong: "The symposium begins!"
Little Grass: "Why are you stealing my line?"
Guan Tong (calm and composed): "Because I'm the protagonist. Don't like it? Write me out of the story."
Little Grass: "..."
Yelanka (giving a thumbs up): "Teacher is still the best. By the way, I finally got more screen time in this rule."
Sigaochin: "After all, Xisiya is the Administrator's home turf."
Black Star (raising hand): "And us!"
White Star (raising hand): "Same here!"
Lucifer (glaring darkly at Little Grass): "Their storylines clearly have follow-ups, yet mine was abruptly concluded. Author, how do you explain this?"
Suzuki (speaking timidly): "Mine was concluded too..."
Wei Xuan: "At least you guys are better off. My conclusion was the most absurd. In the end, it's unclear how I died, or even if I'm actually dead."
Valeri: "You all at least survived through one rule. I didn't even make it through a single rule. Isn't that the most tragic?"
Little Grass (giving an awkward smile to the four of them): "It was to advance the plot... understanding is the greatest virtue."
Shi Jingyi (with the calm of a strong individual): "Am I the only one who noticed the author dug a whole bunch of new plot holes this time?"
Hess: "Yes. For example, my grand debut as one of the bishops of the Fire Thief Worship Cult. I have a promising future."
Yishan: "A bishop is nothing? I am the daughter of the King of Suroma. My future screen time will definitely be more."
Peter: "You're all not up to par. It's still me, the master of lightning."
Short Ponytail Woman: "Stop competing. You're all better off than me anyway. I don't even have a name! 'Wei Huo' is clearly not my name."
Shi Jingyi: "I think we should summarize the plot holes the author dug during this rule."
Little Grass (scratching head): "Is that really necessary..."
Guan Tong: "It's very necessary. Saves you from digging holes you never fill."
Little Grass: "..."
Shi Jingyi: "Let me give a rough summary—
Han Qiu resigns from the Countermeasures Research Office;
A large number of astronauts in the space migration plan have died; Robert is suspected to be under the control of a mysterious force, staying on the abandoned Dream Boat One;
Small nations of the Human Consortium jointly propose a super city construction plan;
The reason why Black Star and White Star became middlemen to accumulate Ascension Coins;
After an Ascendant's Mind Power upper limit breaks through one thousand, they enter the second stage of Ascension, restarting the Mind Network;
The daughter of the Suroma King appears, showing great interest in Peter who possesses lightning manipulation abilities; the latter also has secrets of his own;
The Fire Thief Worship Cult plans a bomb attack on the Suroma competition venue; Hess, one of the Four Bishops, makes his first appearance;
Suzuki's bizarre suicide is suspected to be murder;
Guan Tong makes an agreement with Chen Na, and upon breaking through the thousand-point Mind Power milestone, sees numerous mysterious phenomena that appear to be related to the [Wordless Book]."
Everyone (shocked): "The author dug this many holes again?"
Little Grass: "... I didn't realize it until now. Even I'm startled looking at the list."
Shi Jingyi: "So, are you sure you don't need to go fill these holes immediately, and instead stay here having a meeting with us?"
Little Grass (sweat beading on forehead): Gotta run, gotta run. Time to fill the holes. See you at the next meeting!
