King of Assassins-Chapter 965 - 669: Ascension

The Holy Hall Headquarters stood majestically.

The series of battles earlier did not cause substantial damage to the Holy Hall.

Including Xianyang Star itself, though it experienced intense tremors, the modern technology-built structures easily withstood this level of earthquake.

Overall, Xianyang Star and the Holy Hall remained unharmed.

However, eighty percent of the Disciples and Divine Envoys who controlled the Holy Hall were slain. The disappearance of the three masterminds, Qin Shiyue, Imperia, and Jin Yuxiu, had a more substantial impact.

The mid-to-low-level members of the Holy Hall Headquarters were in a state of panic, not knowing how to conduct themselves.

Gao Xuan was in no mood to comfort these people, in fact, he had little interest in the current Holy Hall.

The purpose of establishing the Holy Hall was to slay the Evil God and to ensure the continuous progress of humanity.

Now, however, the Holy Hall was letting Evil Gods run rampant in the Outer Star Realm, causing chaos.

The Central Star Realm was separated from the Outer Star Realm. This spatial isolation was more terrifying than an invisible class divide.

At least with class isolation, everyone exists in the same world. Even those at the top must be accountable and not act recklessly.

When two worlds are completely isolated, the Noble Families have no scruples.

The Central Star Realm is heaven; the Outer Star Realm is like hell.

These issues need to be addressed.

Gao Xuan, however, was impatient with this; a millennium of reincarnation made him aware of his flaws. He lacked a strong desire for power and had a laid-back nature, being deeply engrossed in cultivation.

A society of such enormous scale and complexity would require full effort to manage properly. Much less for someone of his disposition.

Before returning to the Nine-pointed Star Lock Divine Palace, Yun Qingshang was waiting for him there. Nuwa was also present.

Nuwa naturally sensed the dissipating presence of the Divine Souls of Qin Shiyue, Jin Yuxiu, and Imperia, leaving her with mixed emotions.

For a millennium, the four of them have been in control of the situation. Although Nuwa wasn't friends with the other three, they could be called companions.

Seeing the complete destruction of her three companions was naturally hard for her.

Gao Xuan looked at Nuwa and said, "Sister, I accept your explanation. Let bygones be bygones. From today onwards, everything starts afresh."

Nuwa nodded, she understood what Gao Xuan meant. It was within her expectations that Gao Xuan would let her go.

After all, finding a Divine capable of navigating cyberspace is exceedingly difficult. One with her excellent analytical ability is even rarer. Not just in the Milky Way Galaxy, but in the whole cosmos, there are only a few.

The most crucial thing is, she hadn't lied. Her collaboration with Qin Shiyue was merely because it was more beneficial for humanity as a whole.

As for the outcome, that's another matter entirely.

Gao Xuan is a smart man, and importantly, he is exceedingly cold. It is exactly because of his cold nature that he is not bound by emotions.

Even if Gao Xuan was displeased with her choice, he wouldn't genuinely hold it against her.

On the contrary, Nuwa didn't like this coldness; it lacks human essence and emotion.

As Gao Xuan mentioned, Qin Shiyue and Jin Yuxiu were normal people, whereas Yun Qingshang and he were not.

Gao Xuan asked Nuwa, "Do you know where Helen has gone?"

Nuwa shook her head, "Helen, along with Song Yunxi and Qingyi Fei Niao, entered the Netherworld Realm, but their whereabouts there are unknown."

Nuwa explained, "The Netherworld Realm is layered over and over again, with countless powerful gods and demons inside. On the other hand, Qin Shiyue and the others didn't want to do things too thoroughly…"

Helen's departure was resolute and swift. By the time Qin Shiyue and the others reacted, it was already too late.

On the other hand, neither Jin Yuxiu nor Imperia wanted to pursue Helen. Nuwa also strongly opposed it.

After much consideration, Qin Shiyue also gave up on pursuing them.

Helen and her group entered the Netherworld Realm and never returned. There was no information whatsoever.

Nuwa, in control of cyberspace and the Celestial Net, virtually managed all human societal information.

If Helen and her group returned, she would definitely know it.

Moreover, Qin Shiyue stood guarding the spatial entrance. If Helen and her group stealthily entered, it was fine. But sneaking back was impossible to hide from Qin Shiyue.

Nuwa was sure that Helen and her group had completely vanished.

The Netherworld Realm, full of gods and demons, connected to countless vast worlds.

Helen and her group were strong, but that was relative. In the endlessly vast world of gods and demons, they were not significant.

Back then, Gao Xuan seemed to suffer great losses in the Netherworld Realm, forcing him to lie in the Eternal Coffin and slumber, leading to a series of upheavals.

To put it simply, even if Helen and her group were killed, it would be normal. After all, a thousand years is a long time.

Gao Xuan was well aware of the dangers of the Netherworld Realm, but with a thousand years having passed, a brief wait is of no concern.

No matter what he plans to do, he must first clean up the mess at the Holy Hall.

The Holy Hall's high-level personnel were nearly wiped out, which had a massive impact on the Holy Hall.

It is essential to know that such a large organization originally has a tightly structured management system.

Suddenly losing so many high-level figures nearly collapsed the power framework at the top.

Neither Gao Xuan nor Yun Qingshang had leadership abilities, making resolving the Holy Hall's issues no easy task.

Fortunately, with Nuwa's presence, Gao Xuan could grasp all information from the Holy Hall and make decisions based on it.

The immediate task is to fill the high-level management gaps by drawing personnel from various local Holy Halls.

On the other hand, Gao Xuan and Nuwa jointly met with important mid-level managers of the Holy Hall.

One aspect was to stabilize morale, and another was to reallocate management positions.

Honestly, seeing Gao Xuan alive and present shocked most Holy Hall personnel greatly.
