Remiller transford into a White Dove, like a specter wandering between heaven and earth of this continent.
As a forr ssenger of a Divine, she possesses what is 'theoretically' the fastest speed on this continent.
No one can be faster than her.
This is a rule mastered after becoming a Divine, and extre speed is Remiller's domain.
Not just speed,
she can also see things others cannot.
Including,
the gaze from the Gods of the Outer Domain and Star Realm, and various Divine Punishnts attempting to cross the barrier.
"Swoosh!"
With a gentle flap of her wings, Remiller revealed her human form.
"Old friend."
She turned her head to the void, lowered her head, and spoke:
"We haven't t in four hundred years, finally you're willing to co out of that place."
"The aura of death is unprecedentedly thick, so of course I'm curious." A shadow holding a giant scythe appeared mid-air, its cold eyes staring directly at Remiller:
"Have you found it?"
"No."
Remiller shook her head helplessly:
"Not even a clue."
"Child of Destruction..." the shadow murmured:
"Cannot escape the connection with the Bloodline."
"Yes."
Remiller nodded:
"The first Nightwatcher went to the Holy Temple of the Bloodline, and the Elders of the Bloodline also claid to know nothing about it."
"You should know, they can't hide it from that Nightwatcher."
The Night Watcher Organization was able to stand alongside the Temple of Gods and the Blood Alliance as a Transcendent force, faintly holding the highest position, not only due to its official and military backing, but also because of its deep foundation.
Just like.
The original Nightwatcher.
That mysterious Fifth Tier figure, with the nickna Eye of Insight, possesses the special ability to discern truth from illusion.
"Not knowing does not an irrelevant." The shadow continued:
"The Bloodline needs to pay the price for this."
?
Remiller raised an eyebrow.
"Are you planning to seize the opportunity to strike at the Bloodline?"
"Hel, the Bloodline has the God Slayer, Thunder Spear, and I'm not a combat-oriented Fifth Tier."
"This is an opportunity." Hel, the 'Death God', one of the three powerhouses of the Temple of Gods, spoke coldly:
"The Nightwatchers will help us."
"After all, it was the Bloodline that attracted the Divine Punishnt, and the ans left by the Gods protect this continent, they know which side to choose."
Remiller pondered.
She knew the hatred between 'Death God' Hel and the God Eater of the Blood Alliance was unremitting.
This indeed is a chance to eradicate the Bloodline.
But,
the Divine Punishnt descends, and all beings will be condemned, at this ti it should be right to unite all forces that can be united.
"Hel."
Remiller sighed:
"Does it have to be this way?"
"You can refrain from taking action." Hel retreated a step, his body rging into the darkness, leaving only a haunting voice:
"Just like when all beings fell, you chose to retreat, after all, no one can ever catch up to you."
"...Alright." Remiller said helplessly:
"But before taking action, perhaps we should give each other a chance."
"A chance?"
Hel spoke:
"Unless they can hand over the Child of Destruction."

Carl had a book placed in front of him, flipping from one page to the next, as Riley sat opposite, sipping coffee leisurely.
"The world changes so quickly, in just under two months it's beco so unfamiliar."
They were on the fourth floor of the academy library, located by the floor-to-ceiling window, where they could observe the students moving around below.
Unlike a few months ago.
Now, many students have changed their majors; previously unpopular subjects like archeology and theology have beco popular.
"Two months ago, fossils of ancient creatures were discovered in the Kesi Mountain Range, including the corpses of ancient giants over ten ters tall."
"A month ago, a mirage appeared above Diluo City, featuring hundreds of terrifying creatures, among which a magic wolf with eight heads actually existed, and it slaughtered over a thousand people."
"A few days ago, in the underground cave ruins..."
"Sigh!"
She sighed softly:
"How did it beco like this?"
Various phenona and entities that defy scientific explanation were revealed one after another by the Nightwatchers, sparking a nationwide frenzy.
Mysticism, theology, Extraordinary Power have gradually beco known to people.
The university, as the first to adopt advanced knowledge, imdiately made changes, even offering courses in Transcendence.
The changes are indeed substantial.
"Have you thought that maybe the world has always been this way, just unknown before?" Carl raised his head:
"Don't worry, life goes on as it always has."
"That's probably impossible." Riley shook her head:
"In this period, the number of missing and dead people is too high, it's said there are three man-eating streets in the city, where walking into them at a specific ti results in disappearance, but no one knows which street or what ti."
"Perhaps..."
"I might also suddenly disappear one day like Blaze and Monica."
"You're under a lot of pressure." Carl said:
"This isn't good."
"I understand." Riley sighed:
"But there's no choice."
"By the way."
She glanced at the book in Carl's hand and said:
"Rumor has it there's a mysterious book in the library, where everyone who reads it becos a character within, and others wouldn't even notice the disappearance, so during this ti it's best not to read."
"If no one knows the missing people, how does anyone know such a book exists?" Carl closed the book:
"You're overthinking."
"Maybe."
Riley shrugged.
She wasn't overthinking; that book truly exists. It is a form of Divine Punishnt pulling living beings into a sub-dinsional existence.
Originally, the books would disperse into various locations, and everyone who had read would fall into the story within.
Until.
No one in this world knows letters, and wisdom cannot be inherited.
And that book is now in Carl's hands, analyzing the Divine Punishnt holds trendous benefits for him.
It allows understanding of the ans of a Divine.
"Professor Carl."
At this mont.
A student rushed upstairs and said:
"Soone downstairs is looking for you."
"Oh!"
Carl raised an eyebrow:
"Looking for ?"
How is that possible?
He is a Fifth Tier Divine and an Ancient Knight; not to ntion soone ntioning his na, even thinking of him would generate a sense.
Yet soone has co to find him.
Adjusting his clothes, he leaned on his cane and walked downstairs, eting the figure waiting at the library entrance.
This was an exceedingly handso man, his features like perfectly sculpted stone.
His physique was the epito of perfection.
Even,
none could find any flaws in his temperant.
All passing females instinctively paused, unwilling to avert their gaze, gathering a crowd in no ti.
"Professor Carl."
Upon seeing Carl walk out, the man placed one hand on his chest, slightly bowed, performing a traditional salutation:
"We et again."
"It's you!"
Carl sighed softly:
"Tucker the Thunder Spear."
"I don't recall us ever eting."
"Sigerno City." Tucker said:
"Back then, I had just co into contact with war, and you were rely an unremarkable Wizard Apprentice."
They had exchanged a distant glance, neither took notice, never expecting to et again after so many years.
With identities,
now completely changed.
