But this man…he seemed unchanging even in front of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made no sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sandplate kept growing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And somehow, this new relationship went through centuries already, even longer than all the time she had lived prior to Paradise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as unbelievable as it sounded, Isadora felt that their bond had only grown stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no but or if.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it's beacuse they supported each other as their own minds began to break down in the face of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was fear of being alone, perhaps the joy of being together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You know…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and Isadora laid down side by side as they watched the clouds drift by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We might not get out of this world. I tried a lot and I failed every single time.\" He said with a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if his powers were stopped from growing, Varian should've cracked it in a few decades at most.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this world was really evil. It somehow managed to destroy all the progress he made, erasing almost everything and pushing him to start from scratch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had happened countless times already. Even Varian had lost hope at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora interlocked her fingers with his and sighed. \"It's fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Varian smiled, though his eyes looked teary. \"I'm looking forward to spending an eternity together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora rested her head on his chest. \"It's your honor, Knight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hahaha!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian gave up hopes but he did not give up trying. Everyday, he would meditate in hopes for the impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At some point, the sandplate had turned into a small sand castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grains had reached 8 million. Over 4 million days have passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over 110,000 years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then the sandcastle grew big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1 million years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two started to break down at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing that kept them sane was each other. And they feared their lover's mental health.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Paradise System gave them a notification. It's the notification he saw when he first entered the world of Eternal Empress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Suicide Assist Window\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>End the pain, embrace the darkness and drown in despair.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and Isadora looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn't press it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Update!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one of you agrees to remain, the other can exit this world.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will remain!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will do it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian and Isadora looked at each other before sighing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go out first.

You should leave first. Once you breakthrough, you can easily save me.\" Varian argued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they both knew that while they made sense in their arguments, those who stayed would die.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if Varian reached divine ranks in a few weeks, millions or perhaps billions of years would pass in this world due to its extremely distorted time flow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would guarentee that Isadora would remain sane and not kill herself?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, if they didn't have each other until now, they might have already done it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same went for Isadora. Even if she could reach divine rank in a few days, it'd already be millions of years here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian might end himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he didn't have that damn curse, he'd have already reached divine rank and broken out of this prison but…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fine. We'll get out together or die together.\" Varian said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sandcastle continued to grow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, it was as tall as Varian and a meter in width and thickness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long had it been?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten million years? Hundred million years?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had no idea anymore. And they didn't care at this point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Varian wanted both of them to live. So, with a newfound purpose, he kept trying everyday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isadora too went into a deep seclusion, to increase the understanding of her powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though the progress they made was erased everyday, they kept at it like madmen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ironically, this insane act was the only thing that kept them from going really insane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What they didn't know was that help would arrive from the outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*** *** *** ***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity, humbly speaking, thought of herself as an out and out genius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, really.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't very old, okay and she's already about to hit the divine ranks! At her age, even the empire's best geniuses would be at peak rank 8 or something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And even a peak rank 9 would take a few hundred to a thousand years to go from peak rank 9 to divine rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'I am the greatest genius of this generation.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's not just her thought, it's the opinion of the Vita tribe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, when she realized she had a chance of breaking into the divine rank using the divinity from forbidden places of Hortus, she was esctatic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Wohoo! I'll be one of the youngest divine rankers!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, Sarah, are you also entering a seclusion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Noticing the Queen of Radiance, Miss Calamity asked with a curious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\" Sarah nodded as she sat on a mountain peak a few hundred miles away from Miss Calamity. \"Even though I let Isadora go, I want to join them if possible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, good luck!\" Miss Calamity cheered her up and closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'A low rank 9! So cute! I bet she'll reach mid rank 9 by the time I end my seclusion.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity closed her eyes and focused on sensing the divinity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was getting closer and closer to that 'wall' she'd have to cross to hit the divine ranks and then suddenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity opened her eyes and saw the bright golden aura around Sarah surging up, as if oil was poured into fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'She reached mid rank 9 already? It's been what? 1 month?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah didn't even open her eyes and continued in the seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, Miss Calamity focused on herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached the wall and would have to cross it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It'd be best if you could cross it in one go. Else, it'd get harder and harder until it becomes impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Alright, I'll have to prepare to breakthrough in one go.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she gathered her focus for the great task, Miss Calamity's brows jumped and she opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Are you kidding me?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah reached high rank 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'One and half month! She's crazy! It's totally unreasonable!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking her head, Miss Calamity bit her lip and focused on charging herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began to recall all the things she had realized about her path and envisioned reaching a higher level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This 'understanding' would materialize in her inner world and would break that wall, allowing her to go further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's the most critical step before the actual attempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Phew, I consolidated it!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity sighed in relief and opened her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Huh? Haaaah?!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah had reached the peak of rank 9.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'What the hell is this? Is this girl an actual divine ranker who's playing with me? High rank 9 to peak rank 9 in two months?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would make perfect sense if Princess Isadora had a friend like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>B-But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity personally sensed the unstable aura whenever Sarah broke through. Out of suspicion, she even checked her rank. She was really a low rank 9 at the start of seclusion!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'N-Never mind! I will…I will reach the divine rank!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting her teeth, she attacked the wall that seperated celestials from the divines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom! Boom! Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed in a blur and Miss Calamity felt her whole body ache. It was as if she had run for days without stopping without using any powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'Ahh! Yes! Yes! Finally!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like an eggshell cracking, the wall cracked and her aura transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The origin of Miss Calamity underwent a great change and her power underwent an unimaginable shift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world, both outside and inside, changed completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt like an invincible being, able to destroy and create life as she pleased. The universe was available at the tip of her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the living in Hortus were just a thought away from submitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She's so strong that everyone else, even the peak of rank 9 felt like an ant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'B-But why…?'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity opened her eyes with a suspicious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah slowly stood up, the divine aura overflowing from was being withdrawn back and she gave Miss Calamity an encouraging nod. \"Good job!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Y-You! You! What the hell…\" Miss Calamity pointed a finger at Sarah, her lips twitching and hand trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, I reached the divine rank.\" Sarah said with a plain expression and shook her head. \"It'd have been much faster if Var was here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miss Calamity clutched her heart and slumped onto her seat. Looking at the sky with a blank gaze, she muttered. \"L-Lie! Lie! My whole life was a lie!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sarah tilted her head and asked with a small smile. \"I can feel their locations…they seem to be trapped somewhere. Can you lend me your help to fetch them back?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah, ah, yes, yes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1519,"2026-06-06T07:58:54.029Z",1,"novelbin.me","6085d76dda43d75915134744f28d0ac5befe6a2335aec80aa9a4223114fbbc84","divine-path-system-chapter-1525","divine-path-system-chapter-1523",1773,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-path-system-cover.jpg"]
