There was a big display screen in the central square of the Imperial Capital, which normally had advertisements or news on it. Today it was no different, and was showing an interview session. However, the pedestrians walking on the streets couldn’t help but stop in their tracks when they caught sight of the screen.

A clear and beautiful face was on the screen, and she seemed to have an ethereal glow about her. When she turned to look at the camera, her eyes seemed to draw everyone who was watching into the deep abyss.

There was a line running across the bottom of the display—Oil painting, For A Millenium.

Mu Yunfan looked up to see the familiar face, and then he noticed the line beneath. If there was a mirror in front of him, he would definitely be able to see just how fast the blood drained from his face, leaving it pale and white.

He pushed the car door open, not caring about whether or not cars were allowed to stop where he did. He walked in big strides to the big screen, the noises of the people around him were muddled in his ears. He walked in a daze, his eyes focused on the words ‘For A Millenium’ with a baffled expression on his face.

The reporter on the screen was interviewing her, and it was a young boy. An interview in the art world was not as grand as compared to ones in the entertainment circle.

“Miss Gu, our newspaper tried to contact you in the beginning for an interview, but we were turned down three times before you finally accepted it. Can you tell me the reason for finally accepting it?”

The girl on the screen seemed to think for a while, before opening her mouth to respond, “I’ve never thought about accepting an interview, as I don’t want to have multiple burdens on my life. But the chairman came to look for me yesterday, and I realized that I can also influence a lot of people through my work.” And so, that was the reason she came.

“We are all aware that your painting has been included in the international art exhibition,” said the reporter, picking up a tablet. “This is a comment from an internationally renowned oil painter master: The sun and love comes together in the dark. How did you manage to paint such a painting?”

“I didn’t think too much about it.” She pondered about it for a while, her expression solemn. “Borrowing someone else’s words, I want these words to reach even more people in the world: Everything that doesn’t destroy you will eventually make you stronger.”

“We also learned that you’re a student of A University, and you entered as the top ranker…”

This interview was definitely more sensational than any other before, because this was the first time Gu Xiqiao had agreed to one. From the time she gained the title of national top ranker, countless people have tried to get an interview with her. And then the cell fusion incident happened, she only showed up for the press conference for a short while. Many people tried to dig out her information, but unless you were extremely high leveled, no one could find anything on her.

This was the first time that her life was laid bare for all to see.

At the same time, the Weibo account of ‘For A Millenium’ was certified, a ‘Verified’ added in front of her name, and descriptions: Gu Xiqiao, famous painter, Princess Qixia from ‘Empire Under Siege’, Top student in A University Faculty Of Medicine.

In an instant, all the countless fans of hers were shocked.

“Ahhhhhh! This is the national goddess! Do you remember those pictures that were viral on the internet a few months ago? That’s her!”

“Wait, I found the original post!”

“As a fan of the Divine Goddess, why do I feel so worthless at the moment…”
