Faced with this sort of dilemma, Richmond chose to flee, leaving the glade at his fastest speed. However, Shuangtian seemed to have predicted this as she channeled her bloodline and blasted through the air even faster and appeared before Richmond.
The old man came to a halt with shock on his face, not believing that a mere Rank 0 fledgling could surpass a Titled God like him in terms of speed.
Shuangtian folded her arms as she used her control over the wind to float in the air, with her hands behind her back.
"Haha, Uncle Richmond, why are you rushing away? Have you forgotten what you are supposed to give me?"
Shuangtian's teasing words made his face go red, but then he suddenly recovered and smiled pleasantly.
"Girl, you've got it all wrong. Obviously, I don't keep those kinds of things around in such a small glade. I have to go to my castle in the City of Light in order to retrieve them."
Shuangtian's expression fell. How could she not tell that the geezer was just trying to mess around. Alas, his excuse was reasonable and she couldn't necessarily beat him at the moment, so she chose to play along.
"Okay then, lead the way. You can take me along to see the sights as Draco's master." Shuangtian said forcefully, not leaving even a small space for him to reject.
Richmond's face cramped, but he still maintained his smile. "Of course, of course! Of course…"
He flew forward slowly while Shuangtian followed behind him, staring as his back like a hawk at prey, which made Richmond feel aggrieved and gloomy inside, but he sneered and displayed a vicious expression.
'Hehe, in the end, this little girl is too naive!'
Thinking like this, he immediately cast a powerful spell and disappeared from the spot while turning to smirk at Shuangtian. Shuangtian's face changed greatly as she rushed after Richmond and landed on the spot where he disappeared, but found that there were no traces left behind.
He had likely teleported away, which was something Shuangtian herself could not do at the moment. As such, she could only stamp her feet in anger, which ironically caused the earth to quake and large crater to form in this wilderness.
Hundreds of monsters in the area were reduced to pulp or injured so severely that recovery was impossible. Shuangtian was not pleased by this, and stomped again to kill them and save them from the pain.
She then took out the instructions Eva gave her and saw the next part.
'Richmond will definitely teleport away if given the chance. Since you're at Rank 0 he will assume that it will be easy to get away from you. If that happens, don't worry about it, Draco will use this to deal with him later. Right now, the AI had made a special exemption for you to enter the cities before level 10, so just head on over to Cario City and meet us at the portal center. - Eva'
Oh, Eva predicted it. Shuangtian suddenly became calm but confused. Why then did Eva send her here if she knew this old bastard would run away and not fulfill his promise?
Shuangtian was confused, but she decided to heed Eva's instructions and immediately flew back to the town like a storm. The air itself was ripped apart by her and thousands of trees, as well as animals, were pulled along by her movement as if she was a hurricane.
Shuangtian's face changed when she saw this and came to a halt, which was even worse as her sudden stop jerked everything forward and caused it to blast forward like projectiles, landing in the area before her.
The sheer amount of destruction and death she brought to this area zone on a large scale had caused her to level up straight to level 10. Knowing how wicked the AI was when it came to earning exp at any stage, that should tell just how much carnage Shuangtian had caused.
The girl herself was left speechless. She decided to land and just run the rest of the way, which - while also somewhat destructive due to the speed - was far less caustic.
Once Shuangtian entered the town, she slowed down to a jog, but moving in 'normal' speed caused her jogging form to make her assets bounce, and when Shuangtian's stuff bounced, eyes began to bleed.
Many fellows tried to rush over to stop her, but Shuangtian just bulldozed through them, flattening many of them, This caused many players' faces to change as they jumped out of the way, wondering how such a tall beauty could be so… tanky.
Shuangtian eventually reached the portal center and chose to go to Cario City. She stepped through and felt the slightly void feeling of warping before appearing in a totally different place.
Once again, the moment she stepped out, all attention landed on her. Just as the first brave fellows decided to shoot their shot by approaching her, Draco and Eva appeared from a portal, collected Shuangtian and left.
This caused the players around to have ugly expressions as many couldn't help but curse under their breaths.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! This bastard Draco is doing this on purpose, isn't he?! Why must he capture EVERY extraordinary beauty?!"
"I know right! We should totally storm his place and complain about it to the strongest player in the world who is likely pampered by the AI!"
"…You're mocking me aren't you?"
"Oh nonono… LOOK IT'S A BEAUTY WHO WANTS TO FUCK YOU!!"
"WHERE??!? … wow."
"Pfff… hahahaha!"
While the no-names had enjoyed their brief spotlight, Draco and Eva took Shuangtian straight to the Training Hall of the Rank 7 Guild Hall. Shuangtian already knew what she had to do so she entered the Private Room and then activated her bloodline.
She naturally chose the class-up option since the Rank-up one was grayed out.

Shuangtian was surprised by what she saw. It was clearly different from what appeared for Draco and Eva, but using that as a baseline, she could identify the difference.
Firstly, her overall classification was not the same as Draco and Eva who were Abyss and Celestial respectively, but she was a Primordial. So as Eva suspected, she wouldn't be able to perfectly pair up with them in terms of thematic power, but it was fine.
This would allow their group to diversify their power rather than all be constrained into one line.
Also, unlike the way the Pangu Lineage called it Primal God, Undying King, and Primogenitors, the AI had given it different names.
Primal God, which was the strength-based one was called Barbarian, the Undying King which was defense and regen was called Titan, and the Primogenitor which involved summoning and creation of elemental golems was called Elemental Golem.
With the knowledge she had from Draco and Eva's memories which included the source of the bloodlines, Shuangtian guessed that this should be the true names of those Inheritances, or, at least, of the races those Inheritances came from.
So even Barbarians, Titans, and Elemental Golems of the Gerdo Galaxy had joined the fight against the Gerdo Galaxy humans back then and got annihilated until their genes merged with the remnants.
Tsk, tsk, all these races who took part must be feeling like screaming every day. If we're just counting Draco, Eva and Shuangtian - assuming there's no overlap - at least 300 races took part in the fight.
After all, each branch wasn't just an ability, but a whole bloodline of a race that had attacked humans back then and got turned into meat paste.
Shuangtian was now the only real remnant of the Pangu Lineage minus her direct family who Draco still kept in a pocket world, as well as the remnants of the Primogenitor-… no, Elemental Golem Inheritance.
As such, she decided to rename the Inheritances based on their source races. As the new Pangu, no one could refute her, and all those who could were not here anyway, so her decision stood true.
Anyway, she naturally went straight for the Primordial Eternal option. The moment Shuangtian felt space begin to warp and take her, Draco and Eva rushed over with greedy expressions.
After tasting the benefits of being in the Eternal World, how could they not lust for it day and night? Especially after finding out that the Primordials on Earth could use Origin Energy to harm them.
However, just as they were about to enter, their faces changed to horror as a bolt of lightning rushed out of the warp and struck them, dealing severe damage and sending them flying.
Shuangtian's face changed as she wanted to turn around to help, but the pull was too great and she was taken away.
She was taken straight to the Eternal World to face her fate!
As for Draco and Eva, they had been severely injured to the point that they lay there passed out, blood leaking from their orifices.
