[HSRGSS] Chapter 82: Yueyu's Return
🕑 Added 2025-08-06 23:49:33 +0000 UTCJiaoqiu could not believe his eyes, yet longed for it not to be a mistake.
Under the gaze of over a dozen people in the conference room, Yueyu separated from Feixiao and slowly turned to look at Jiaoqiu.
"Jiaoqiu, I suppose I should say, long time no see?" Yueyu raised her left hand and gave a gentle wave.
In that instant, Jiaoqiu froze in place, not moving at all, as if he had been encased in ice.
Moze, of course, recognized Yueyu as well, since her portraits were everywhere in this building.
As for the others, there was no need to ask—everyone was utterly frozen like Jiaoqiu, since they also recognized Yueyu.
"Am I seeing things? Is she really General Yueyu?"
"Could it be an impostor trying to trick us?"
"General Feixiao, this isn't a joke, is it?"
Clearly, everyone still found it hard to believe.
It couldn't be helped.
Who could possibly survive within the damage range of the Reignbow Arbiter's Sky-Shattering Lux Arrow?
"Do I look like I'm joking to you?" Feixiao asked in a completely serious tone and expression.
Seeing their general so serious, everyone glanced at one another in silence.
"You really are General Yueyu..." Jiaoqiu said slowly, his voice trembling a little. "You... You're still alive... If you were alive, why didn't you come back?"
Rather than believing in resurrection, he was more inclined to think that Yueyu had narrowly survived and had been recovering somewhere.
"Sorry, I really was dead for nearly thirty years..." Yueyu smiled apologetically. "Someone brought me back to life, though I can't quite explain the principle... I mean, there are plenty of miracles in this vast universe, so resurrection isn't impossible, right?"
As soon as these words fell, everyone was caught in another state of shock and disbelief.
Yes, dying and then coming back shortly after was nothing unusual, but someone who had died for several decades and now suddenly stood before them, whole and intact, was truly unbelievable!
If it were that easy, would there have been the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae incident on the Xianzhou Luofu?
"Wait! General Yueyu, I mean no disrespect, but I have to confirm something."
A diviner from the Divination Commission stepped forward with a question.
"Are you sure you haven't been possessed? After all, strong abominations like those heliobi have been known to possess people."
"How can you prove your identity? I suggest going to the Yuque for testing."
Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances and began to waver.
"I can—"
Feixiao wanted to speak up for Yueyu but was stopped by Yueyu herself.
"Mm, that's a very reasonable suspicion." Yueyu nodded, her face extremely calm and solemn. "As the former general, I know well that the Yaoqing has fought abominations for years and has seen all kinds of their abilities, so such suspicion is well-founded."
In the next moment, however, she suddenly smiled, then praised the diviner who had questioned her.
"But seeing that you still have your basic sense of caution, I'm pleased that the Yaoqing hasn't regressed over the years."
"I believe in you." Jiaoqiu suddenly stood up and spoke seriously, his eyes that were usually squinting now open just a little, their determined gaze hard to make out. "I believe you are General Yueyu."
"Well, this should be enough to prove it."
Realizing that explaining with words was just a waste of time, Yueyu directly summoned her Spiritus.
In an instant, the power of the Hunt surged forth, filling the entire conference room as a dark green aura appeared, enveloping Yueyu's body.
Just like Feixiao, Yueyu's Spiritus was also 'Flying Aureus,' a fox-looking creature bestowed by Lan THEMSELF.
However, instead of being white-cyan like Feixiao's, Yueyu's Flying Aureus was dark green. After Feixiao inherited Flying Aureus from Yueyu, it changed to white-cyan according to her own attributes.
Of course, no mortals, including the people in the conference room, could perceive its true form, since it was said that only in that fleeting moment when beings at death's door were briefly frozen in time could the gazes of mere humans witness its descent.
"I-It's definitely the Spiritus bestowed by the Reignbow Arbiter! It truly is the blessing of the Reignbow Arbiter!"
Everyone in the room stood up almost in unison, overwhelmed with excitement.
Anything else could be faked, but how could anyone fake the blessing of the Reignbow Arbiter, Lan?
"If the Spiritus is with General Yueyu, then General Feixiao..." Moze looked at Feixiao with doubt, making the others follow suit.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Feixiao summoned her own Spiritus, and in the next moment, the same power, the same power of the Hunt, emerged.
Now, with the real deal right here, appearing before their very eyes, no one could doubt Yueyu's identity any longer.
""Welcome back, General Yueyu!""
In an instant, everyone cupped their hands toward Yueyu and shouted together with excitement.
Now, this meant the Xianzhou Yaoqing had two Arbiter-Generals—their fighting strength would only increase!
Needless to say, this good news had to be reported to the Xianzhou Alliance as soon as possible—no question about it!
Feixiao had no intention of hiding Yueyu's return either.
After all, so many people had witnessed it already, and there were also CCTVs in the conference room, so she decided to report it herself and take the initiative.
Feixiao first planned to contact Marshal Hua to inform her.
As for the other higher-ups in the Xianzhou Alliance, she honestly disliked them because all of them were old-fashioned, always suspicious of everything, and far too troublesome, so she decided to ignore them for now.
At most, she would discuss such matters only with the other Arbiter-Generals.
Soon, upon hearing the news, Marshal Hua immediately started a meeting in the private group chat of the Arbiter-Generals.
[Hua: Everyone, the Yaoqing has just reported something incredible. Yueyu, the former Arbiter-General of the Yaoqing, has been resurrected and is now with Feixiao.]
[Jing Yuan: What? Resurrected?]
[Yao Guang: You mean she came back to life after nearly thirty years? Are you sure she isn't possessed by some evil power? Or is Phantylia impersonating her?]
[Xuanquan: Phantylia? She wouldn't be that dumb, would she? Pretending to be someone dead for years, a former general, no less. She'd get exposed instantly.]
[Huaiyan: Let General Feixiao explain. All this wild speculation serves no point.]
[Youwu: Agreed.]
[Feixiao: How should I put it... I had a dream where someone changed my childhood, saved everyone, and led me to fight the abominations. Later on, when I woke up, my master was actually alive again...]
In the end, Feixiao only gave a summary of her dream and left out the key point that Lucian was an Emanator of Abundance.
Of course, she also exaggerated a little about Lucian's kindness and his attitude toward the Xianzhou Alliance.
She was not foolish—if she said it was the work of an Emanator of Abundance, it would only cause more suspicion.
One should know that some Xianzhou natives were willing to accept the benevolent Denizens of Abundance, but there were also others who hated them to the core, which was not something that could be changed overnight.
If the Xianzhou Alliance were to accept Lucian, it would have to be a gradual process.
Maybe, someday, other generals or even the marshal herself would be saved by Lucian, just as she had been. By then, there would be no need for extra explanations—he would naturally become part of the Xianzhou Alliance.
If the Xianzhou natives found out that the one helping the Xianzhou Alliance was an Emanator of Abundance... just imagining it was nerve-wracking.
Feixiao pictured the upheaval that would erupt in the future and actually felt a bit of anticipation, but for now, Lucian's true identity had to remain a secret.
[Jing Yuan: Honestly, this is hard to believe. You had a dream, and reality changed? What kind of power could do that?]
[Xuanquan: In your dream, the Fanghu had no casualties at all? But there's no change here on my end—nearly one-fifth of the Fanghu is truly destroyed in that war.]
[Yao Guang: My suggestion is to come to the Yuque and let me verify it personally, so the truth will become clear.]
[Huaiyan: Yes, that's the simplest solution.]
[Youwu: Agreed.]
Feixiao and Yueyu both hesitated, since they knew that the 'Deca-Light Reflection Barrier Matrix' at the Xianzhou Yuque was extremely powerful.
Its principle was similar to the 'Matrix of Prescience Ultima' at the Xianzhou Luofu, but more superior, since its methods of calculation and inspiration were all derived directly from the Wisdomwalker, Nous, the Aeon of Erudition.
Considering that, who knew whether they would be able to see the true story from Yueyu's dream?
If so, Lucian's true identity would surely be revealed.
In the end, Feixiao couldn't find a way out and messaged Lucian to ask his opinion.
Several minutes later, she received a reply from Lucian.
[Lucian: Even if Nous personally tried to calculate my existence, THEY couldn't see through me. You are all closely linked with me, so there's nothing to worry about.]
With Lucian's reassurance, Feixiao and Yueyu felt at ease and immediately responded to the generals and the marshal.
[Feixiao: I have no objections, nor does my master. We will go for the verification right away.]
[Hua: In that case, let Yueyu set out for the Yuque. We all welcome her return.]
After closing the group chat, Yueyu began preparing to depart for the Xianzhou Yuque.
Of course, she did this not just to prove her innocence, but also for her own agenda.
Now, what she needed was to regain her influence and status within the Xianzhou Alliance, and only then could she stand up for Lucian in the future.
"I'll go with you, just in case." Feixiao, still feeling uneasy, decided to accompany Yueyu. "It's been thirty years, so there are some things you're bound to find unfamiliar. Let me borrow an ability from Lucian first."
