The perspective returned to the Enforcement Bureau. As the door of the conference room opened, Adele and Wen Weiran put down the drinks in their hands and stood up at the same time.

Director Yashi walked out. Her expression wasn’t relaxed, but she still showed a peaceful smile to her two capable subordinates.

“Thank you for working overtime so late.”

“The relevant overtime pay will be credited to your cards.” 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

“That’s not important.” Wen Weiran said without hesitation.

But Adele’s cheeks were slightly red. The girl thought, who said it wasn’t important! It was very important! But she murmured in her heart, and on the surface, she still nodded in agreement.

Yashi smiled and shook her head, and added, making Adele’s expression brighten, “What’s important is that this is the rule.”

“I think you must be very curious about the topic of this meeting.”

“Actually, it’s all old talk. The biggest disagreement is whether we should trust the Black Emperor.”

“She wanted to make us accept the evil god Black Fog that once swept the world and caused a huge disaster with just a few words, and let this world take a risk with her, which was wishful thinking.”

“But guess what the result of the vote in the conference room was?”

Wen Weiran was lost in thought, but Adele said without thinking, “Since your tone, Director Yashi, has changed, the result must be unexpected.”

“So... I choose that the people who rejected the Black Emperor’s proposal won by a narrow margin!”

It was a moderate answer, with a twist, but not much.

Director Yashi smiled slightly. “The answer is similar to what you said.”

“But it’s not a narrow victory. Out of the eleven seats, it was a five-to-five tie.”

“And the final chair, Lislotte, didn’t give her answer.”

“...”

Was this really the result? Unexpected but reasonable. Adele thought that if she was in the position of True Ancestor Lislotte, she might not be able to make the final decision.

After all, even if she was rational, it was inevitable that she would be misunderstood as having “unfinished business” with the Black Emperor, which would affect her judgment. Coupled with her foreign race identity, it would appear particularly abrupt at this critical moment and cause a backlash from the small number of forces who were dissatisfied with her occupying a high position in the Human Race.

So Lislotte chose to respond with silence and put the meeting on hold. This might be the best choice she could make in her position.

“But in the past, weren’t the voices questioning the Black Emperor and the evil god Wu You in the absolute majority?” Adele asked curiously.

If that was the case, why would there be such a drastic reversal and change overnight?

“Could it be... because something else happened, or was more information and secrets revealed?”

Yashi nodded, and at the same time, her eyes deepened when she looked at Adele. Then, she jokingly said, “As expected of the Chosen Girl, you are really sharp.”

“Ugh... Are you master and disciple alike in this regard!”

“I was just teased by Senior Weiran!” Adele shouted with a red face.

“It wasn’t teasing. I was being serious,” Wen Weiran replied with a serious expression.

“There it is again!” Adele was helpless.

Fortunately, after a round of banter, their discussion returned to the main point. “Indeed, there was new information revealed by the Black Emperor, and that news was shocking.”

“Otherwise we wouldn’t suddenly work overtime and hold such a meeting.”

“What the Black Emperor revealed for us was the cause of the far-reaching war in the mythical era.”

Adele’s eyebrows twitched. The war of the mythical era? Wasn’t it the first witch, the Primordial Witch, or the “Lewd Witch” like Adele? She was destroyed by the “Lord” who led the angels at that time because she decided to build the kingdom of Sodom on earth?

Sigh, it was good to have ideals, and it was admirable to want to build a utopian country. But why couldn’t she be more cautious? Why couldn’t she “slightly knit her eyebrows and retreat behind the crowd,” wait until her strength had grown to its peak, and then have an all-out battle with the “Lord” that Seraph believed in at that time?

As a result, she met her tragic end, which was truly regrettable. But Adele didn’t reveal the secret Seraph told her. But in fact, there was no need for her to reveal it, because the Human Race had their own collected information, much of which was related to this Primordial Witch and her utopian country, Sodom.

It was enough for them to piece together a magnificent epic story. But what the Black Emperor revealed was the real reason for the war in the mythical era that no one had known so far. Yashi thought this was a topic that could be discussed with Adele and Wen Weiran, that the two girls she valued, the future successors of the Enforcement Bureau, could know.

But it might not be the case for others. So she waved her hand and signaled Adele and Wen Weiran to follow her.

The three walked towards a more secure room. There, Director Yashi finally recounted the story. And everything she revealed, even Adele, who considered herself to know a lot, was extremely shocked.

“Primordial Witch Shirley, should we call her that? Maybe the language of ancient times would be a completely different name.”

“But anyway, this Witch Shirley was born with great love for this world.”

“...”

Adele’s heart stirred, thinking, wouldn’t that mean she could also be called the “Witch of Love”? Seraph actually called her the Lewd Witch! Damn, she was tricked by that angel!

Director Yashi continued, “The world at that time was under the rule of the Lord of Heaven. We still don’t know anything about Him.”

“The only thing we know is that He went away to look for something, and He will return one day.”

“If He hadn’t left, the world should still be under His rule, and the future prosperity of the Human Race would not exist.”

“Shirley united all oppressed races and established the utopian country of Sodom.”

“But this was not the reason why the Lord of Heaven decided to destroy her.”

“On the contrary, the Lord of Heaven was very indulgent to this Primordial Witch.”

“The two seemed to never have been life-and-death enemies before a certain critical point.”

“Otherwise, with the nearly omnipotent divine power of the Lord of Heaven, He shouldn’t have given Shirley the opportunity to grow to the point she did later.”

“But she did it. From the beginning of her adventure in the human world, she had smooth sailing all the way, and finally became the legendary demigod!”

“It can be said that she was below one god, and above ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) thousands of living beings.”

“The Lord of Heaven didn’t care about this, and even seemed happy to see it happen.”

“I think you must be very curious why this is so.”

“And the truth is... much simpler and more shocking than you think.”

“That’s because, the Primordial Witch Shirley...”

“She is actually, the daughter of the Lord of Heaven.”
