"So, you intend to sacrifice yourself, rge with the anomaly, beco part of it, and thus influence it? End this ritual?" He Ao quietly gazed at Lily before looking down at the green glow in his hands. "Is this your Talent Sequence?"
As ti passed, the direction of gravity rapidly reversed, the distinction between up and down disappeared completely, and around them floated the unconscious figures of people.
The enormous dark void still hovered above everyone’s heads.
The Future Building, which had been suspended in the sky, had seemingly landed on the ground, rging with the earth’s structures, with mist covering everything on the ground.
"This all started because of , so it should be to end it," Lily looked at He Ao, whose speaking speed maintained the angel tier communication speed, yet Lily seed to keep up through so anomaly power.
She looked at the green glow in He Ao’s palm. "The ’World Constructor’ Talent Sequence has been completely polluted by the anomaly, and I, once a part of Estella, can quickly rge through a mystical connection."
"Thus, when I throw myself into the anomaly, I can use the mystical connection between the World Constructor and the anomaly to influence it."
She looked up at the enormous dark void that had co a little closer overhead. "If you’re worried I’m deceiving you just to get back this angel Talent Sequence, you can join . When I jump into the void, then hand over the Talent Sequence."
"What’s the World Constructor’s number?" He Ao asked with curiosity.
"When I was promoting, I didn’t know the number, but according to them, the World Constructor’s Talent Sequence number should be 261," Lily gazed at He Ao, her eyes sweeping over the surrounding mist and void, softly continuing, "It’s ti to end all this."
"And afterward?" He Ao continued to ask, "You’ve sacrificed yourself, you died, your consciousness might only push the anomaly a bit, allowing the seal to slowly recover, and then what?"
"The seal needs a new guardian," Lily sighed softly, "Those old undead and young people of the Federation will co up with a plan to find a newcor to guard here, there might be so casualties on a scale, beyond what I can influence."
"Waiting for a new guardian, then as ti passes, he becos polluted," He Ao said calmly, "And repeat today’s events? The people on this land suffer such disasters again and again?"
"This is inherently unavoidable," Lily gently shook her head, "Since this seal’s inception, it is destined fate. To bla would be our bad luck, the anomaly descended upon this land."
"Perhaps, there are other solutions." He Ao looked at her and spoke softly.
Lily was a little stunned, raising her head and looking at He Ao bewilderedly.
"Actually, have you ever thought," He Ao looked around, his gaze moving away from the increasingly closer, convulsing enormous dark void, scanning the violently shaking void around, sweeping through the storm spreading at the world’s deepest layer, "Why we coincidentally t in Xiluo City."
Lily paused, looking at He Ao, "You have strong anomaly power on you, you’re the only surviving imdiate relative of the Future Building victims, while I myself was once an angel polluted by anomaly. Mystic paths make our encounters likely, eting in the sa place is quite normal."
"Yes, but the likelihood of us eting was great, not guaranteed," He Ao said gently.
Purple brilliance covered his pupils, dense fate lines accompanied by mystical connections reflecting in his eyes, "You lived in Vilensis before, while I was in Xiluo City. We happened to et the evening before the anomaly seal broke, involved in the Anomaly Sect’s plot."
"You suspect interference from Destiny Power?" Lily furrowed her brows, "Indeed, events and coincidences with such high probability are perfect for intervention. What’s the purpose of this destiny intervention?"
"Maintain the status quo." He Ao stated calmly, his purple eyes mirrored with dense lines that appeared normal overall but subtly, he could feel so ’discordant’ spots, like an illusion.
"Maintain the status quo?" Lily was stunned.
"Keep the seal as it is, keep the anomaly sealed to this degree," He Ao calmly lowered his head, looking at Lily, "Think back over the past centuries, before your pollution, wasn’t the anomaly seal very stable? You encountered hardly any issues?"
Upon hearing He Ao’s words, Lily paused.
"Think back to when you initially acquired the anomaly’s sealing thod, wasn’t it also filled with all kinds of coincidences?" He Ao continued.
Lily raised her head, looking at He Ao, her brows furrowed, "You an, a powerful Destiny Power has been helping us? But unwilling to expose itself? To manipulate the fate of angels without us noticing, that power must be——"
At this point, she paused slightly, raising her head to look at the surrounding quaking void.
Space-ti seed to quiet for a mont, she looked up at He Ao, "But the Divine Being doesn’t have the energy to constantly focus on us here, right?"
"Not necessarily need focus," He Ao shook his head, "So complex, powerful mysticism techniques related to destiny can last a long ti. As long as you set a goal, destiny’s power will push circumstances toward that goal."
For a Divine Being who rules mysticism, mastering related techniques isn’t surprising.
Lily looked at He Ao, "So, the Witch of Desire hadn’t participated only after I withdrew from humanity?"
If there was always a power helping Lily maintain the seal, her sudden anomaly pollution back then turned suspicious.
The Witch of Desire intervened, disrupting the fate power left by the Mysterious Shadow, causing Estella to be anomaly-polluted, thus pushing the anomaly’s unsealing.
"So," Lily’s thoughts accelerated, "My sudden ’recovery of clarity’ back then wasn’t entirely a result of my reason but possibly also influenced by the fate power left by the Divine Being?"
At this point, she paused slightly, smiling bitterly, "So everything happening now is rely an extension of the Divine Being’s conflict?"
She wasn’t ignorant of relevant knowledge, just always shrouded in fate power, her awareness obscured, He Ao’s prompt imdiately clarified it for her.
"In so sense, yes," He Ao looked at her and said calmly.
The Witch of Desire probably knew early on that the anomaly seal contained mysticism techniques related to fate; he even used this technique to push He Ao to arrive here.
After all, if ’K’ truly descended in the Northeastern Federation, characters related to ’K’ must enter the fate technique’s pushing scope.
Next, he just needed to wait; those related to ’K’ would inevitably appear at the storm’s center, he could naturally catch ’K’ or ’K’s Favored.
Throughout the process, the Witch of Desire’s actions were very cautious.
He didn’t directly interfere with the seal, as this would definitely alert the Mysterious Shadow.
He solely disrupted Estella’s state, utilizing this ’Guardian Angel’s’ madness to release the anomaly step by step along with the seal’s structure.
During this, he also sched against ’K’ in the last stages.
When he had just entered the scene, he isolated all mystical links, both to prevent He Ao from contacting other Divine Beings and likely to guard against any contingency from the Mysterious Shadow.
Of course, he didn’t expect He Ao could bypass the mystical barrier through other ans, directly contacting the Mysterious Shadow.
And the Witch of Desire’s actions were precisely the root cause of the anomaly’s activity.
Not long after Lily began speaking with He Ao, he had already pieced together the details, which perhaps is why the system judged the task complete.
"If it truly is as you say," Lily looked at He Ao, "Perhaps jumping in now might be the best choice; between two Divine Beings, if we must choose a side, perhaps the seal’s preservation is our only viable option, we actually have no choice."
Weak lives have no choice; they can only lean towards the existence that barely lets them continue living.
The Mysterious Shadow was also well aware of this point.
So it could stand by previously and watch He Ao’s drama unfold.
Because even without He Ao, or if He Ao was badly injured, he could still rely on the residual power on the seal to advance the entire process of resetting the seal.
Lily, and even the Federation’s angels, actually had no choice but to comply with Its will to continue maintaining the existence of the seal.
"Actually," He Ao looked at Lily in front of him, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile, "we have a third choice."
"What?" Lily was taken aback.
He Ao raised his head, glancing at the giant hole above, looking around at the chaotic space, and then lowered his head, grasping the green glow in his hand, calmly said, "My Talent Sequence is ’Talent Sequence 189: Planner’, if I’m not wrong, this should be the prerequisite Talent Sequence for World Constructor?"
"You’re going in?" Lily was taken aback, quickly reacting, her voice carried a hint of frantic helplessness, as if witnessing repeating history, seeing a companion walk towards death again, "You just beca an angel not long ago, you have a long life ahead of you, and going in might not be better than , your relation to the anomaly might not be closer than mine!"
"My current body is even a part of the anomaly," He Ao looked at her and laughed.
He Ao lowered his head, glanced at the ground, thick fog covered everything, a long ti ago, he could no longer clearly see the shape of the Future Building, only able to vaguely make out the familiar outline.
Lily was slightly stunned, she stared at He Ao.
Purely in terms of relations with the anomaly, she was rely polluted by the anomaly, even dissected midway, only able to influence the anomaly’s power through past secret techniques.
But at this mont, He Ao’s body was actively filled with anomalous power, and he himself, due to the Future Building event, beca an extension of the anomaly’s power.
Truly speaking in terms of relations, in the void of anomalous consciousness, He Ao could, in the sense of mysticism, be considered an anomaly.
If he were to ingest the heavily polluted and assimilated World Constructor’s Talent Sequence, that equivalence would be even closer.
"You will die," Lily gently spoke, hoarsely.
Though considered as such, He Ao’s soul was only an angel’s soul, falling into that massive body, it would likely be obliterated by the chaotic consciousness of the anomaly.
"Everyone dies," He Ao smiled, he lifted his head and glanced at the turbulent void around him, the storm at the world’s foundation started rapidly approaching, it was apparent, the divine beings in conflict also realized sothing,
he withdrew his gaze, continuing, "Perhaps, this is my lifeline."
At this mont, the imnse pitch-black hole was already within reach, twisted and enormous limbs were rapidly extending from the hole.
Fierce and twisted power surged continuously from the hole.
Lily looked around, during their rapid conversation, their bodies had already flown to the forefront of the giant hole along with the storm between heaven and earth.
Behind them were nurous floating silhouettes, those were the people living in the city.
"Take care of Sui for ," He Ao looked at Lily, with his back to the imnse hole, said softly with a smile.
With that, he directly fed the green glow in his hand to his mouth, swallowing it directly.
Then he gently floated backward, falling into the vast black hole.
"No!!!"
Lily stretched out her hand, trying to grasp He Ao’s arm.
The wind suddenly intensified around, blowing against her body, pushing her away from the massive hole.
He Ao quietly watched Lily depart, at that mont, the violent power of the World Constructor’s Talent Sequence exploded within his body, with splattering blood, attempting to tear apart his husk.
The force of Martial Arts pulled at his shattered body, the violent Angel Power rushed into his body like a waterfall pouring into a pot, carrying a terrifying impact.
No rituals, no neutralizing materials, the purest and most primitive thod of promotion.
Accompanied by it, ca fierce pollution, empty ravings.
The dark emptiness swept in from all directions, carrying twisted limbs, attempting to engulf He Ao’s body.
All the experiences in this Copy World echoed, flowed, and passed through his mind.
Purple light still ignited in his pupils, reflecting countless dense destinies.
At the mont he arranged fate, the course of destiny had already deviated.
This slight deviation caused Estella’s original plan to be thwarted, forcing her to rely on her power to push forward the ritual.
As a result, from the start, she couldn’t divert focus to deal with He Ao, only able to prematurely summon the Witch of Desire to delay He Ao, to buy ti.
And He Ao had to seek the Mysterious Shadow, which led to the Witch of Desire being constrained, unable to assist Estella behind the scenes.
This allowed He Ao the opportunity to kill Estella and gain her Talent Sequence, giving He Ao the possibility to leap into the anomaly, choosing a third path.
This was the fate he arranged, the ultimate goal he initially hoped to achieve.
But to achieve this goal, as the arranger of fate, he also needed to sacrifice his life.
To gain sothing is to lose sothing, forming a natural cycle.
’The one who arranges fate, is also encompassed in fate.’
At the mont this realization erged, a kind of invisible ’ice crystal’ lted in his soul, transforming into pure power, rging with He Ao’s soul.
At this mont, he fully grasped the mory Inheritor or ’Super mory’ Talent Sequence.
The twisted limbs covered the blood-stained youthful body, the distinct angular face, the purple pupils.
Finally, the last ray of light also disappeared from the field of view.
An invisible will stirred the power of the anomaly.
