The Divine Seal Fragnt bound to the Apostle of the Virtual Realm will exhibit slight vibrations to alert the Apostle when encountering other Divine Seal Fragnts.
There’s only one scenario where the Apostle of the Virtual Realm won’t receive such an alert upon encountering another Divine Seal Fragnt, and that is when the "other Divine Seal Fragnt" has already been pre-bound to another Apostle of the Virtual Realm.
Moreover, the Divine Seal Fragnt bound to an Apostle of the Virtual Realm cannot be loaned to others. It’s not just because the binding relationship causes the Divine Seal Fragnt to automatically return to the hands of the Apostle, but even if others try to hold it, it would seem as if they are attempting to touch a holographic projection, passing right through it. This is the case even if this "other person" is another Apostle of the Virtual Realm. Xuanming once threw his bound Divine Seal Fragnt to Xu Gou, and the latter couldn’t even catch it.
In front of us, the mysterious woman closed her fingers and pinched the black jade floating in the air tightly with her fingertips.
She demonstrated her identity as the Apostle of the Virtual Realm through her actions.
Before today, all the Apostles of the Virtual Realm had already revealed their true identities to .
Number One Xu Gou, Number Two Little Bowl, Number Three Zhuang Cheng, Number Four Xuanming, Number Five Weichi, Number Six Divine Light... And only the identity of Number Seven remained unknown. So, the Apostle of the Virtual Realm appearing before my eyes at this mont must undoubtedly be Number Seven.
Is it really impossible that she is the "true Master of the Divine Seal"—the "Seal Master"? This jesting thought crossed my mind.
"I rember Number Four said that Number Two is a Divine Son with Right Positioning Heavenly Phenona. She should be able to tell if I’m lying. If you’re still suspicious of , feel free to ask her."
As she spoke, the mysterious woman turned to look at Little Bowl, who then earnestly nodded and said to , "No lie. She indeed is Lady Number Seven."
Considering the deductions made earlier, it also implies that perhaps even the Master of the Divine Seal is unaware of Little Bowl’s true identity, hence why Number Seven is unable to ascertain Little Bowl’s underlying details.
Why is that?
Is Little Bowl’s true identity so special? Or is there so hidden situation on the side of the Master of the Divine Seal?
"...I understand. Well then, let’s formally do a self-introduction." I said, "I am Number Three, Zhuang Cheng. Please advise."
"I wouldn’t dare."
Although she has the na "Hongcao," I am more inclined to refer to this enigmatic woman as "Number Seven." She continued, "You must have already deduced my intention of guiding you to the Tai Sui Army stronghold. Yes, I have sothing I wish to request earnestly from you, for which I am willing to pay any price.
"Unfortunately, I must admit to such an embarrassing fact: neither the resources of the Tai Sui Army nor my own power can afford the material cost of a full effort from a human god.
"If there is anything else I can offer you instead, it’s the ’truth.’ I know many truths that most people in the Doomsday Era are unaware of, truths that even you may find hard to easily grasp.
"Therefore, in what follows, apart from the extrely few secrets I can’t disclose arbitrarily, anything I can answer, I will answer for you."
Hearing this, I straightforwardly said, "Oh, is that so? Then tell , what is your relationship with the Master of the Divine Seal?"
This question rendered Number Seven silent. After a mont, she said, "... I’m sorry, the question you’re asking now is ’one of the very few secrets I can’t disclose arbitrarily.’
I rudely said, "Just now, you presented an attitude of being willing to share everything without reservations. Yet now, you imdiately tell you still want to keep things hidden. Is this how you request favors from others?"
"I can assure you, this will be the last ti I do this," Number Seven said. "Aside from the aforentioned part, whatever questions you ask , I will answer. If I cannot do this, you could just kill , and I would accept it."
Little Bowl seed to gauge the sincerity level in Number Seven’s words, then gave her own judgnt: "... Lady Number Seven didn’t lie."
Number Seven glanced at Little Bowl, showing a hint of helplessness.
If it weren’t for Little Bowl, the ’super lie detector,’ present, she might have lied in response to the previous question. Now, she could only awkwardly refuse to answer.
However, even though I didn’t get a direct answer from her, it wasn’t a total loss.
Those who keep secrets must also keep secret "the fact that they are keeping a secret." Her attitude undoubtedly side-exposed a fact that Little Bowl and I had previously only suspicions about but couldn’t verify—
Number Seven indeed has private connections with the Master of the Divine Seal!
I didn’t expect myself to be able to dig out the entire truth from Number Seven’s mouth all at once. You have to take things one step at a ti—you can’t eat hot tofu in a rush. Number Seven is, after all, a demigod who has reached the realm of Great Success Rank; my Power of Word Spirit couldn’t force her to disclose the truths she’s keeping secret. The good thing is, I am patient enough to get closer to the truth step by step; on the contrary, I sowhat delight in it, even finding the pleasure of hunting.
No matter how much Number Seven wants to use her body to cover her little secrets, in the end, I will wholly expose them all.
"Then, first answer this question." I said, "Last ti on the battlefield between and Great Demon Xuanwu, how did you transfer away? That should be your special ability, right? What is the specific principle?"
Concealing one’s special ability is the basic literacy for a demon hunter, and it is the sa for the Blessed Monks. Although for Impermanence, a "special ability" doesn’t an much, the special ability demonstrated by Number Seven can even directly interfere with the battle outco between and Great Demon Xuanwu, its value imasurable.
Requesting Number Seven to disclose it is like asking her to expose her most private parts to .
And this ti, Number Seven disclosed it without hesitation.
"I haven’t formally nad my ability, but I can tentatively call it ’Death Return.’" She said, "The effect of this ability is that after I die, I can return to revive at the original point in ti where I once was.
"Alternatively, I can choose not to return to the original ti but rely return to the space I was previously in to revive. To the outside world, it looks like I simultaneously activated Space Transfer upon death to resurrect at another location.
"When activating the ability, I can also choose to return to the past ti or space with people near . I haven’t tested how many people I can select because aside from the part I couldn’t answer you earlier, this ability is my deeply hidden secret.
"Then there’s the flaw of this ability... I cannot reach any distant past ti or space this way; at most, I can only revive to a short ti ago.
"Once I carry out a resurrection, the coordinates for resurrection will be temporarily recorded and fixed, persisting until the coordinate is no longer ’from a short ti ago.’ Thus, I cannot repeatedly commit suicide to reach much earlier experienced tis and spaces.
"This ’short ti ago’ doesn’t have a particularly concrete length but is adjusted according to my subjective feeling. If I feel an event happened just yesterday, then even if it actually was many years ago, I can travel to it... just that in reality, it’s rare to have such convenient situations."
She seed to recall sothing, revealing a hint of wistful emotion.
"Lady Number Seven, your ability..." Little Bowl’s mouth slightly opened.
Isn’t this what is called "save and reload"? This reflexive thought arose in my mind.
These demon hunters and Blessed Monks truly have extraordinary superpowers, one more outrageous than the other. Although I have experienced all sorts of outrageous abilities before, Number Seven’s ability still stands as top-tier among them. Abilities like "controlling flas" appear impoverished in comparison.
The ability to "save and reload" implies one can challenge enemies repeatedly. Every failure’s lessons transform into steps towards final victory. No matter how many tis the enemy wins, you can deny it; only your victory counts.
Moreover, the fact that it can allow others to restart together—general fantasy stories about "save and reload" might not even include this feature.
I feel I’ve experienced Number Seven’s greatest sincerity displayed at this point.
While demon hunters and Blessed Monks tend to keep their superpowers secret as a basic trait, the ability of "save and reload" is considered very confidential among all powers, especially since she can return only to a ti or space ’not long ago.’
Once known, adversaries could prepare counterasures targeting her ability, rendering her invincibility not so invincible anymore.
Nonetheless, despite this limitation, knowing nurous truths unknown to most in the Doomsday Era guarded by the Master of the Divine Seal and possessing a "restart" capability, makes Number Seven’s abilities of extrely high value.
It also sowhat corroborated her supposed connection with the Master of the Divine Seal, which Little Bowl and I had long suspected but couldn’t verify.
