Chapter 617: Two Open Eyes_2
…However, this drop of divine blood might give him the answer.
Bai Wei waited for the divine blood key to return to its current liquid state, then extended his hand again, grasping the drop of blood in his palm and moved it onto the potted plant on the table, gradually crushing the droplet.
The divine blood trickled down through his fingers, slowly dropping into the small potted plant.
This pot is actually the reflection of an ancient tree. As the first drop of divine blood seeped into the clay, the gnarling roots of the Taoyuan Wood suddenly arched, and the dead branches quivered like the fingertips of a dying person, piercing towards the sky; new buds broke through the scorched bark, the erald leaf sheath wrapped around the shards of ti, growing wildly, as if an invisible hand condensed a millennium of spring into a mont. And from deep within the rings, ca the subtle sound of cracking.
The power of Taoyuan Village increased, and Bai Wei felt a barrier break.
Thus, ripples rose within Bai Wei’s heart, and the ancient tree emitted a buzzing sound.
“Summoning.”
“Co.” Bai Wei closed his eyes, “Tell , where are you.”
The invisible ripples scattered bit by bit, and in the pure darkness, little specks of light began to shine, like stars.
Among them, Bai Wei saw the brightest one.
He extended his hand.
…
“Master, the ssages have all been sent out.”
The servant dressed in a white robe respectfully reported to Diana.
Looking at the magnificent prison before her, like a whirlpool in the deep sea, Diana calmly asked, “Have they all replied?”
“Senluo and Holy Sound have not.” The servant replied, “Senluo can no longer find anyone to fulfill the contract, and Holy Sound… they said they’d send people as best they could.”
“So, no matter what, the old contract followers can’t all be gathered for this eting?”
“Yes,” the servant said softly, “even if Holy Sound gathers enough people, Senluo really has none, and Wildfire trying to replace Senluo failed too, hence that land has truly beco a land without God.”
“…A land without God?” Diana said softly, “I didn’t expect the outside world to be so disturbed, and the eternal contract has only lasted a millennium.”
The servant dared not speak.
Turning back to her servant, Diana asked, “What did the prison director say? Has he obtained intelligence from Rhein?”
“He has, but Rhein’s intelligence is not that accurate.”
“Hasn’t Rhein fought with that person many tis? Still no accurate intelligence?”
“Yes, according to Rhein, all who have seen that guy are dead,” the servant whispered, “so they chose to convene the joint church pursuit.”
Diana squinted slightly.
The major churches united to hunt down one person, even alarming Contract Land, which has never happened before, causing Diana to feel disbelief upon first hearing, especially since Contract Land has been closed off for a millennium.
But seeing Rhein’s intel claiming that the pursued may already possess four to five corpse blocks, Diana understood Rhein’s actions, as never before has anyone simultaneously possessed so many corpse blocks.
With so many corpse blocks gathered, what he intends or can do, no one can clearly say. Even after a thousand years, their understanding of Visas remains incomplete.
Thankfully, Rhein also realized the situation, knowing their strength cannot cope with this guy alone, so they promptly inford Contract Land.
Otherwise, by the ti he collected more than ten corpse blocks, they’d have no choice but to notify each house’s gods.
However, speaking of which, has Ulu really obtained so many corpse blocks?
Upon seeing this na and knowing the other might possess fingers and eyes, Diana first thought of the Taoyuan Village trip half a month ago, the hand eye controlling everything.
Not surprisingly, hand eye is Ulu.
Yet half a month ago, Ulu only had two corpse blocks, but in half a month, the number doubled?
Did he defeat the Seven-Tone Player also holding two corpse blocks, who stirred Holy Sound to chaos?
Or was he defeated by the opponent?
And not just they two, in that gamble, hand eye gave the Seven-Tone Player’s information to Tooth, so Tooth likely sought the Seven-Tone Player too.
And what was the outco?
Thinking about so many unanswered questions, Diana felt sowhat annoyed, annoyed at the scant information provided by Rhein.
From Rhein’s data alone, they couldn’t determine Ulu’s exact number of corpse blocks nor verify if Ulu was more than one person.
What if hand eye and the Seven-Tone Player haven’t eliminated each other? No definitive evidence shows soone has over four corpse blocks, although to Rhein, they may not know Ulu and Seven-Tone Player are two people — only Diana knows this from the Taoyuan Village gamble.
…Should the information from Taoyuan Village be publicly disclosed?
Diana pondered briefly then abandoned that plan.
It’s not ti yet.
Diana gently rubbed her right hand’s ring finger, invisible threads spread like spider webs. She scrutinized the imprisoning web like a spider queen.
Until the last mont, she wouldn’t expose this finger.
At least before the next Taoyuan Village journey, just watch it unfold.
Diana began to anticipate.
“Master…” Seeing Diana silent for a long ti, her servant cautiously asked, “The prison director hopes you will organize this gathering, so…”
“Is that so?” Diana nodded elegantly, “I’d be glad to step out for fresh air, given these unchanging scenes…”
As Diana spoke, she glanced back at the layers upon layers of prisons behind her, seeming to sink into the deep abyss.
“I’ve seen them for too many years.”
Diana shrugged, withdrew her gaze, and prepared to leave.
Just after taking two steps, a sudden heart tremor surged from nowhere, making her body instantly stiffen.
She turned sharply, looking back at the prison.
“M-Master?” The servant was startled.
Diana said nothing, staring intently at the familiar scene before her.
And the scene remained unchanged. The countless magic power pillars still stood upright, the chains above adorned with spells showed no movent, everything was as lifeless as ever.
So what was that sudden trembling?
Diana hadn’t felt this for a long ti, not since acquiring this finger.
…That sensation of being gazed upon by death.
Diana paused silently, then asked, “When was the last sealing inspection?”
“L-last ti?” The servant, wiping sweat nervously, recalled, “I think… forty-eight years ago.”
Diana slightly squinted her eyes, murmuring, “Only forty-eight years?”
The prison’s seal is checked every century, and it’s been just under fifty years since the last.
And the thing underground, is simply a soulless remnant, any mishap shouldn’t co from within.
Moreover, none of the sealing devices have been activated.
An illusion?
Deeply gazing at the prison, Diana felt like staring into the abyss.
After a long while, she shook her head and turned to leave.
…
But what she didn’t know was, at the abyss’s bottom layer, beyond the “Final Gate” built from divine flesh.
The remains slowly opened those abyss-like vacant eyes.
