The main system began to panic. He let out continuous beeps.

“Don’t… D-D-Don’t…. Don’t come over!”

The green codes which were surrounded by a mess of various different colours began to shake violently from side to side. In a panic, it tried to block Shen Ying from stepping any closer, but nothing that it tried worked. Shen Ying continued to walk steadily toward it. she reached out and grabbed the messy source in front of her.

“Have you thought about this!” The man suddenly shouted. He could not help but remind her, “This thing has the ability to enter any plane that it wants. Although it’s a piece of trash, it is pretty useful. As for me… Or the future you, perhaps it would be beneficial. If you destroy it now, you won’t be able to use it again.”

Shen Ying turned to face the man. Then,she lowered her gaze. In a serious tone, she responded, “Oh.” The moment she finished speaking, a huge force engulfed the messy source. Shen Ying clenched her fists. There was a loud cracking sound. The entire source seemed to explode in all directions. The remaining codes seemed to darken significantly.

The source that had been trying to gather together power from all types of places immediately dissipated after the main system was destroyed. At once, everything disappeared into the Chaos Void. These powers were all obtained from people’s primary souls.As long as this plane remained in tact, the souls will be attracted back to wherever they came from one day.

The man frowned, as if angered by the fact that Shen Ying did not even hesitate before she killed off the main system. He looked at her unsatisfactorily and said, “You really destroyed it. Actually, if you had just caused it to submit to you, it would be at your beck and call in the future.”

“I don’t need it!” Shen Ying flicked her hand.

“You….” The man started to speak, but he seemed to recall something else. He sighed once again and said, “I picked this thing out after much thought. I knew it would be useful to you. Do you know at all what kind of people we are?”

“Judges!” Shen Ying turned to face him.

The man jumped, eyes widening. He was shocked now. “You know?!”

“Mm, I guessed it.” Shen Ying nodded. “Someone who was able to prevent two monitors from finding out what would happen to the Great Dao for that many years – only a judge, who’s higher than a monitor – would be able to do that.” It was a single-choice question. Easy.

“Oh?” The man scanned her from head to toe, surprised. “Then how did you know that judges exist?” Even monitors did not know that judges exist. Yet, she seemed to have the word at the back of her mind.

“I found out on my own.” Shen Ying had no intention to hide these things from him. She continued, “I once entered a deep sleep. At first, I thought that it was because I had consumed too much energy and my body needed rest. But when I regained consciousness, I discovered that my powers were over the limit. Even I couldn’t feel where my powers ended. From that day on, the word “judge” had been floating in my head. If I’m not wrong, I’m like you. I’m a judge.”

“It’s too early to tell!” The man lowered his gaze to look her right in the eyes. A grin formed slowly on his face, making him look as warm as he did before. Except, there was a hint of iciness in his gaze. “Do you know that judges can judge any manager or monitor in any plane? If managers have the ability to control everything that takes place in their plane, then judges are the only people who can control everything that happens under the Great Dao in the entire Chaos Void.

An unexplainable expression flickered across his face. He continued, “There are countless planes in this Chaos Void, and every plane has its own Heavenly Dao. That means there are also countless managers. But there is only one Great Dao in the Chaos Void. That means that there can only be one judge.”

“…” Shen Ying frowned.

“You’re the chosen one, who’s going to take over me.” He looked at her sombrely. “But I don’t know if you’ll make a good judge. That’s why be it the Big Dao Organization or the invader systems – they were all different tests that I set for you. You would only meet my standards if you pass those tests. Only then would I be able to hand the Chaos Void over to you with no worries…”

“I don’t want it!” Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ying rejected him.

“Huh? Ah!” The man paused.

What did she mean? Was he imagining things?

Did she just give up this position so easily?

“If you want to stay, you can stay on!” Shen Ying waved her hand lazily. She took another bite of her fruit and turned around, prepared to leave. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going to make a move.” I’m hungry!

“Wait!” The man finally regained his composure and stopped her. He rushed in front of her to block her way. “You can’t go!”

“Why not?!” I don’t want the promotion – am I not even allowed to quit?

“Well…” The man hesitated. His eyes darted around. A moment later, he said, “Your powers have already grown to match that of a judge. There can only be one judge in this entire universe. So even if you have passed my tests, there must be some sort of hierarchy between us.”

“Oh.” Shen Ying nodded. Very willingly, she said, “I admit defeat!” This should do it, right?

it’s time to go home, time to go home. Time to eat, time to eat!

o(╯□╰)o

“You…” The man was really getting angry now. He blocked Shen Ying’s way once again and said, “Do you know what hierarchy means?”

“How many meanings are there?”

He lowered his gaze. In a heavy tone, he said, “There can only be one of us in this world.”

“…” Shen Ying’s hand stopped on the way to her mouth.

The man sighed, and smiled warmly once again. “The only thing is our powers are quite equal now. If we really engage in battle, the entire Chaos Void might be destroyed, along with every single plane within it. That’s why I’ve created a series of tests. I want to objectively solve this problem. If you pass the tests, I am going to disappear willingly.”

Shen Ying tilted her head. “You mean to say… One of us has to disappear?”

“That’s right.” He nodded.

“What if we neither of us disappear…” Shen Ying asked seriously. “Would my pocket money be deducted?”

“Eh?” The man stared blankly at her. He answered without certainty, “I don’t… think so?”

“Oh, then that’s alright!” She heaved a sigh of relief.

“…”

Wait a moment!

What did that have to do with pocket money? Why did she suddenly bringt hat up?

“You don’t understand what I’m saying. I mean that there can only be one ju-”

“Who said that? Is it against the law to have two judges?” Before he could finish speaking, Shen Ying interjected. “From really early on, you have been the judge. And it’s been a long time since I regained consciousness from my coma. In other words… It’s not like both of us haven’t co-existed all this time. Why can’t we continue this way?”

“….” The man had nothing to say in response.

“Alright, I’m off now.” Shen Ying turned to walk around him.

“Wait!” He blocked her way once again, refusing to give up. “Although I don’t know what would happen if we have two judges in one Chaos Void, I’m sure it would not have a good impact on the place. So we have to-”

“Then let’s just wait till that actually happens!”
