As someone who had transmigrated between two worlds, seen ancient gods, battled against the strongest Supreme Divinities, and acted as the effective CEO for Shen Ying’s sect, Lonemoon suddenly felt like he needed to re-evaluate his knowledge.

This was the first time that he was hearing that there were several other planes apart from the one filled with immortals and mortals over there, and the modern one that they were in now. What’s more, the people who were watching over the stability of all these other planes were called managers. They were the ones who were in control of the life and death of all the living beings in their own planes, as well as the interactions with any other plane.

“How big is our plane?” He could not help but ask.

“Hmm… it’s the entire universe!” Shen Ying answered as she chewed on a slice of cake.

“So, your sister is really…” He was starting to have difficulty believing his own ears. Although he had already felt from early on that Shen Ying came from a different world than his own, he did not expect that this would be the reason behind it.

“Yes.”

“And you are-”

“My big sister’s… assistant.” The kind that did not get paid.

Lonemoon looked at her once again, then glanced at the locked front door. Still in disbelief, he said, “Why are you scared of your big sister? She seems to treat you quite kindly from what I saw!”

Shen Ying pursed her lips, as if she recalled something. Sheepishly, she answered, “If you were thrown among the insect races when you were five to train your body, made to self-study all the disciplines in the Star College at ten, and put in charge of invasions into the plane at 15, you would feel the same way.”

Lonemoon’s heart jumped. Insect race… not the kind in the movies, right?

“Was she not at all worried that you would be eaten by those insects?” Lonemoon could hardly believe it. “Would she follow you in secret?”

“She would!” Shen Ying nodded. “She would follow behind me every time.”

“Oh.” I knew it.

“Then gang up with the insects to attack me!”

“…” Are you really biological sisters?

“Wait, didn’t you say that you retained in primary school a couple of times?”

“Yes!”

“Why?” If she could self-study all the disciplines in the Star College at 10 years old, she was a prodigy! Why would she have retained?

“Probably because… I miscalculated the Mother Star’s literacy standard.”

“What do you mean?”

“For example, primary school children are always taught that one plus one equals two. But if you asked the same thing to a university student, would you get the same answer?”

“…” Of course not. “So?”

“I accidentally over complicated the questions. My teacher thought I did not respect the questions and gave me zero.”

“…” So it was because her perspective was different?

Why did he suddenly feel the urge to light a candle for her?

“I was young then. Only at eight years old did I understand what was going on, but I had already remained in the first grade for three years.”

“…” Alright, our teachers have completely embarrassed everyone in Earth.

Lonemoon wanted to ask something else, but Shen Ying suddenly sat upright. That was when he realised that Shen Jing had emerged from the room. She still did not look too good. Her expression remained so cold that it was sufficient to invoke fear in everyone around her.

“I couldn’t get in touch with the manager there.” Shen Jing frowned. “Maybe that plane really is a native one – it doesn’t even have a manager.”

“There are three ancient Gods of Creation over there. We met them,” Lonemoon anxiously said. “They were the ones who dragged us into their world. Aren’t they the managers?”

“They’re just the divine spirits of that accompany that world.” Shen Jing gave him a look that warned him against belittling the managers.

“What do you mean?”
