This Text Adventure Game is definitely poisonous Chapter 1594 - 683: Below the Deep Blue Lake Water3

The bottom of the lake was empty, with only a piece of red... clothing? lying slantwise in the center on a patch of dirt.

Mu You was sowhat uncertain. The clothing was only the size of ordinary human attire, with a surface seeming to be covered in scale armor, yet it looked soft.

Mu You landed on the neckline of the clothing and discovered that beside it was a stone-carved human face.

Most of this face was buried in the lakebed’s mud and sand, with only half exposed.

When Mu You looked over, the exposed eye of the statue suddenly opened and looked at him.

Then, a voice echoed in Mu You’s consciousness.

"It seems you are the one I’ve been waiting for... you’ve finally arrived!"

"Are you... the chanic?" Mu You attempted to communicate with the statue. He had long known that the chanic wasn’t dead, so encountering a conscious ’person’ at the bottom of the lake naturally made him think of the chanic first.

"Yes." The statue’s voice continued.

"So what situation are we in now? Dead? Or not dead?" Mu You was quite concerned about his physical state.

"Not dead... our physical bodies have perished, but our consciousness is hosted by a Soul Butterfly, which has brought us to the lakebed... everyone who jumps into Moon Lake experiences this process, but the spiritual entity can’t reside within the Moon Butterfly for long and will completely perish in a day or two." The voice said.

"What about you? How did you survive?"

"? I was supposed to perish as well, but I chose to rge with the Moon Lake and have existed until now... however, this is where it ends for . My purpose for surviving was solely to await your arrival. Now that you are here, I can finally be relieved..." The chanic’s tone carried so ease.

"Wait for ? Why wait for ..."

Mu You was a bit bewildered.

"It’s a long story... do you see that red battle suit?" The voice asked.

"I see it... you said ’battle suit’? Could it be..."

"Yes, this is ’Chixiao,’ the ultimate Origin Battle Armor I designed back in the day! I completed its model form, but it needed Moon Lake for the final tempering, so I jumped into the lake with it."

"It proved my suspicion right; the tempering indeed succeeded in Moon Lake. The battle suit you see now is the complete Chixiao armor, as intact as ever after thousands of years in the deep Moon Lake. Its defensive capability and all functions are exactly as I envisioned for the ultimate armor — except for one thing..."

"The size..." Mu You’s expression was strange.

When he first saw the armor, he didn’t dare confirm it was Chixiao because it was too small, only human-sized. How could a Titan possibly wear it?

"Yes."

The chanic’s voice sounded sowhat mournful: "The tempering did finish as expected, but it wasn’t completed for . During the tempering, the armor’s size shrank dramatically, leaving my originally well-protected body exposed directly to the lake water, which led to its imdiate corrosion."

"Besides this set of armor, I’ve also designed over a thousand sub-tier armor blueprints using its principles as the core, covering all aspects of production and life. These are the essence of my life’s work, all stored in Chixiao’s core."

"However, like Chixiao, these sub-tier armors also undergo shrinkage during the final tempering process and beco unsuitable for Titans to wear."

"It was at that mont I suddenly realized this armor was not prepared for our Divine Race."

"The original revelation, which I thought was divine enlightennt given to to save my own race, turned out that I was rely a tool. My life’s significance was rely to complete the battle armor for Moon Lake and then wait here until it was handed over to its original owner."

"The original owner, aning... ?" Mu You asked, uncertain.

"Not you, but your kind. My life’s work encompasses not only Chixiao but also the entire chanical assistant system developed in its creation. These were not designed for individuals but prepared for an entire race."

"The Fool..." Mu You exhaled, understanding what the chanic ant.

"But why?" Mu You didn’t really understand why Jie Lin went through such trouble to deceive the chanic into working his entire life to create this chanical system, only to give it to the Fool in the end.

Was it rely to have the Fool use this chanical system to combat the Divine Devouring Beast?

Mu You didn’t think this chanical armor could prove very effective against the Divine Devouring Beast because it required not only the tempering from Moon Lake but also materials from Jie Lin, making it impossible to mass-produce.

Moreover, even if it were effective, it should be used by the more powerful Divine Race to drive away the Divine Devouring Beast, not the Fool, who wasn’t even born at that ti.

"Indeed, this was my question too at the ti!" The chanic’s voice echoed: "Why must my life and even my race beco attire for another unknown race? On what grounds? Are we, the Divine Race, unworthy?"

"With this obsession, I survived and made my way to the lake bottom, angrily wanting to demand answers from Moon Lake, eventually going so far as to rge with Moon Lake, hoping to find the answer."

"And did you get your answer?" Mu You asked eagerly.

"Yes, I got it!"

The chanic’s voice grew sowhat excited: "At the mont of rging with Moon Lake, I saw the truth; I witnessed the past, present, and even the future of this land, everything..."

"It was at that mont that I suddenly understood Moon Lake and chose to follow its expectations, not dissipating imdiately but continuing to exist as a spiritual entity... until now, when I relay my life’s work and the world’s truth to you, my mission is finally complete..."

Mu You swallowed: "So... what is the truth?"

He didn’t expect the chanic to truly know the truth and even intended to tell him directly.

One must know that this was sothing even the God of Order was tight-lipped about...

Mu You was very curious about what kind of truth it must be to make the chanic, who had been toyed with all his life, suddenly change his attitude and wait alone for thousands of years at the lake bottom just for his arrival.

"Don’t rush, this truth cannot be known to the outside world. It’s only in this core area of Jie Lin, where divinity can absolutely not reach, after eliminating all foreign materials, even where our bodies have perished with only our consciousnesses laid bare to each other, that I dare to pass this ’truth’ on to you."

"Moreover, once you leave Moon Lake and return to the Divine World, this mory of the experience must not exist, or it could still be detected by the outside world, leading to everything going to waste."

"Therefore, our conversation here, once you leave the lake surface, you will forget completely."

"What?"

Mu You was taken aback. If he was destined to forget everything, then what was the point of telling him the truth now?

"There is a point!" The chanic chuckled: "Rest assured, the mory of the truth won’t vanish into thin air but will be hidden in your tiline. At an appropriate mont in the future, you’ll rember all that happened here..."

"Alright... tell then." Mu You exhaled, indicating he was ready.

"The truth is..."

The chanic began to narrate slowly.

In the chanic’s calm tone, Mu You went from being calm to surprised and finally to astonishnt.

By the end, his eyes were wide, his heart pounding.

He finally understood why the God of Order said they were all rely pieces on a board...

From the chanic’s account, he learned a truth that turned his world upside down.

And... a plan to deceive the world.
