Capítulo 1375: Chapter 652: Principal’s Code
“Maozi, put the notebook away first.”
“Okay.” Mao Feiyang nodded, walked to the desk that looked like an old tree root, picked up the notebook that was two-thirds full, and tucked it into the green robe of an art student.
“This notebook… Is it now the ‘Principal’s Notebook’?” Lin Yi asked.
Tian Bufan said, “Isn’t it? The Principal hasn’t returned, but didn’t we use the notebook to warp over to find him?”
“This notebook was originally given to you by Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, but from the tiline’s perspective, it was given by the Principal to Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial. It’s just that through us, it has been awakened to its mission.”
“Causality, just like the ouroboros.”
Lin Yi pursed his lips: “So, Maozi takes this notebook, ets up with Kuai Kuai, then leaves the Art Building and rejoins us to leave the campus, and that’s the end of our overt mission… right?”
“Overt mission, a very correct way to put it,” Tian Bufan said, “This task is an agreent between Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial and the authorities.”
“Of course, the private task is our main concern.”
Lin Yi instinctively followed up, “Now you should be able to tell what that ‘side mission’ is, right?”
Tian Bufan shook his head a bit helplessly, then spoke with a faint smile, “Haven’t you already figured it out?”
Lin Yi was stunned: “You an…?”
As he spoke, fragnts of mories from the gray world finally followed one after another, slowly flooding into his mind.
Tian Bufan also began to explain slowly: “Before the ‘Black Moon Blood Calamity’ hit, the ‘Original Apostles’ explored the existence of the ‘Root’ through great mariti voyages, gradually uncovering the essence of the ‘Root’ through countless encounters with ‘Angels’…”
“The essence of the ‘Root’?” Lin Yi felt a twinge of pressure, “Is it the kind of ‘book and ashes’ relationship you ntioned before?”
This ‘ashes’ is not the ‘ashes’ of the ‘Ashen Apostles’ derived from ‘Holy Sun’, but the burning of the world by the ‘Root’.
“That’s correct.” Tian Bufan nodded slightly, “This wisp of ashes, if it cannot be extinguished, will ignite the entire world, rekindling it into a blaze. Once this fire appears, it will burn the world and even the entire Ti Dinsion to the ground.”
“The world we know will beco a true ruin, no, perhaps not even ruins will remain.”
Lin Yi pondered: “Collapse? Black hole?”
Tian Bufan said, “Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial hypothesizes it will beco a void, just like the night sky after fireworks bloom, utterly void.”
“Then… our side mission is?” Lin Yi vaguely speculated, “Is it to extinguish the ashes? We?”
‘Holy Sun’ might have ntioned so kind of plan.
He pointed at himself, with a head full of “huh? ?” expressions, like he had Barry Allen’s spirit attached to him.
Tian Bufan said, “Of course, it’s not only that… there are also Fortune Life Wei Liang the Celestial, the Law, and the ‘Original Apostles’ accumulating strength still at the Black Moon Outpost.”
“We go to release them, then set sail together to deal with the ‘Root’…”
Lin Yi tentatively interrupted, “…extinguish it?”
“It can’t be extinguished,” Tian Bufan laughed bitterly and shook his head, “The whole ti dinsion is a book, we are symbols in the book, and the ‘Root’ is the ash that ignites the book… What we can do is not to extinguish the ashes but to try everything possible, using the greatest force we can muster, to tear out the pages of the book stained by ashes…”
“‘Ti’ and ‘Dinsion’ may, therefore, be torn apart, and only the parts that remain will survive.”
“This is our mission, or rather… ‘destiny’.”
“From the mont we were born, it was destined that we would strive towards this… end fate.”
“‘Destiny’… ouroboros… ti loop…” Lin Yi squinted, as if so mories were trying to break through the blockade but could not appear.
“In my limited mory fragnts, I seed to hear ‘Holy Sun’ ntion sothing about origins, and the ‘Fog Language Master’ knows us… calling us ‘mongrels’, fragnts of ‘Holy Sun’…”
“What exactly are we? Since we’re neither ‘Original Apostles’ nor like ‘Fog Nightmare Hunters’, what are we exactly?”
Tian Bufan pursed his lips and said, “Rember the World Tree sculpture in the Art Building Hall?”
“‘Life towards Death’,” Lin Yi said.
“That’s what we are, ‘Life towards Death’, born from the death of ‘Holy Sun’, inheriting part of ‘Holy Sun’s’ authority and transcending it…”
“Our strength is the root of the ‘Ashen Apostles’ power, infiltrating the entire Ti Dinsion, just like Barry Allen created godspeed force and extended it throughout the tiline.”
“I told you before, the Principal’s power borrows from the ‘Ashen Apostle’s’ Origin power, infiltrating ti, projecting into the campus in the form of a ‘Primordial Ash Apostle’—that’s what I ant.”
“Our power is the source of the Principal’s ‘Primordial Ash Apostle’s’ power… but it may not be ‘our current power’, it might be past or future because ti in a higher dinsion is not linear, so once a map-level, dinsion-level power manifests, it will continue to infiltrate the entire dinsion, like the infiltration and spread of the ‘Root’.”
Lin Yi’s expression was complex as he asked, “Then… what about the ‘Red Star’, and what’s that navigator?”
