Gu Qing Shan suddenly stood up, then paced around the small reception room.

All the painful emotions of the past life were rushing, welling up in his stomach, like a boiling pot put on a fire, unable to calm down no matter what he did.

He cant undo what happened, but this time, those things hadnt happened yet.

Its two different time periods with very different situations, so what should he do to make it fair?

Gu Qing Shan stopped his feet, turned around and looked at Anna.

Why did you come find me at this point in time? he asked.

Facing the Game of Eternal, he couldnt make a single mistake, so theres really no room for him to worry about extraneous things.

He definitely has to help her, but how would he help her?

Gu Qing Shan was thinking very rapidly.

Anna misunderstood him, couldnt help but turn her head to look away and spoke in a soft voice: I dont really know. Right now, I dont have anything left. In a short while, Ill probably die on a battlefield somewhere, or receive help and become Fuxi Empires puppet, sitting on the empty throne of Saint Orlank Empire

Her tone almost seems like shes speaking to herself.

But my father is already gone, and the Holy Empire has been split apart. As the last person of the Medici clan, I have to face this no matter what

This is the destiny that I was born with

I just feel like I should meet you one last time before everything happens

Lowering her head, she struggled to smile: Im sorry, it took so long for us to meet again, and I say these things that makes it hard on you

See you, farewell

Anna braced herself on the sofa arms and slowly stood up.

She glanced at Gu Qing Shan one last time before she left.

Just as she walked to the door and opened it, Gu Qing Shans voice came from behind her.

Anna

Anna turned around and looked at him.

Its like this Gu Qing Shan spoke very slowly, right now, Im doing a certain something, if you can join this venture of mine and become my partner, help me finish this very important venture

You only need to help me and -

Ill help you Anna didnt even ask further and answered.

He was a bit surprised: Ive not even told you anything yet

Anna laughed at herself: My future is only to die on the battlefield or become a puppet, before that, if Im able to help you with anything, thatll just be a way to relieve myself

Lets just say this is something I happened to do

She ended with those words.

Gu Qing Shan was stunned in place.

The remnants of the past life were still ringing in his ears.

Thank you for saving my life, Ill remember your name and definitely repay you for this in the future

Repay me? What is there to repay, this is just something I happened to do

At this very moment, no matter if its a coincidence or fate, Anna said the exact same thing she did in the past life.

Gu Qing Shan felt his chest was being pounded heavily by something.

An intense yet silent emotion filled this chest, but theres no words that could describe it accurately.

He stood straight and looked up, seeming to exude a completely different air.

Anna

I have two choices for you

What choices?

I can immediately give you all the Mech technology you need, Ill help you meet with the President and the Martial Saint. Ill fulfill every request that you asked of me before, but after that, youll return to Fuxi and use the power that I gave you to cooperate with Fuxi, to reclaim the Holy Empire

This was history that already happened in the past life.

A few years later, Anna successfully borrowed the great power of the Fuxi Empires army of Professionist to take back over half the Holy Empire.

This life, if she uses the resources that Gu Qing Shan gives her well, shell be able to increase her position, giving herself more freedom and right to speak and not fall to become a simple figurehead or puppet.

This is only one choice? You mean theres another choice for me to make? Anna hurriedly asked.

She couldnt help but stepped closer to him, even forgetting to close the door.

Thats right, theres another choice Gu Qing Shan spoke slowly: Join my team, become a partner, and help me with a few things

If you choose this, then you no longer need to return to Fuxi Empire and play politics with them. Because I can guarantee you, one day youll be able to raise the Medici clans Empire once more on the ruins of the Holy Church. I will stand by your side, help you clear all the obstacles and put you on the throne, so that you will become the Saint Orlank Holy Empires Empress

You guarantee it? Dont try to fool me, even the Fuxi Emperor cant guarantee something like that Anna looked at him with uncertainty.

Its time for you to choose Gu Qing Shan looked at her and continued: If you trust me, join my team and stay here to help me

If you feel what I promised is impossible, then walk out that door, leave and return to the Fuxi Empire. And Ill still do everything that Ive promised you

Choose

Saying so, he stood silent, staring at Anna.

Anna was a bit stunned and looked back at him, seemingly picking apart the true meaning of these words.

This is definitely the toughest decision Anna has ever made in her entire life.

After staying silent for a while, Anna suddenly said: I have one thing to ask

Then ask away

Anna took off the Life Exchange Contract from her neck, holding it in her palm.

Do you know what this is? she stared straight at the man standing before her and asked in a soft voice.

Its Deaths relic Gu Qing Shan answered.

Finally confirming this, Anna was trembling ever so slightly.

You knew yet you still put it on me

She lowered her head, hiding the expression on her face.

The room became silent.

Gu Qing Shan didnt rush her.

Anna didnt give an answer right away.

After a few minutes.

Anna muttered: I shoulder too many things

She took a few steps towards the door.

Gu Qing Shan said nothing.

The fate of myself and my country, cannot be left to just anybody

As if convincing herself, she took a few more steps and arrived at the door.

Gu Qing Shan still remained silent.

At this moment, time passed so slowly it feels like it had already stopped.

For a very long time.

She reached out and close the door.

I dont know if this choice is correct or not

She spoke hurriedly, turned around and walked towards Gu Qing Shan, step by step.

However, you are the first person in history to ever return Deaths relic to the previous owner

Im willing to come with you, help you do what you want to do, but will you really help me?

She stared at Gu Qing Shan, as a small glimmer that could be blown out at any moment appeared in her darkened eyes.

I will

Gu Qing Shan received her stare, very seriously and firmly replied.

Biting her lips, Anna silently nodded.

Extending her hands, she put Deaths relic back on Gu Qing Shans neck.

If you can really do what you promised

I will make sure that you become Saint Orlanks Royal consort

Royal consort, meaning the Empress husband.

Her face flushed, the uncertainty in her eyes stopped and reflected only Gu Qing Shan.

The solemn air around Gu Qing Shan disappeared as he spoke in panic: The Royal con

But his mouth was covered by Annas hands.

A knock on the door.

Zhang Ying Hao coughed from the other side of the door, saying: Good brother, I dont really want to bother you, but youre coming up next in the conference
