[I'm the very best. Top of the hierarchy. S-Tier Legendary, Rank 1. Meaning I know your ending from the beginning. I wasn't assigned to you by chance. You currently have the Omni Alchemist module. That wasn't a minor thing. That was the first fragment of the Omni-Potent system.]
Qingran stilled. "What... do you mean?"
