Chapter 1353
"No, you misunderstood." Ti Bao saw the situation becoming tense, and quickly spoke to ease it: "*We* don't want to see the golden heirs harm each other. We just need some time to ask you a few questions."
Aglaea: "Then, Moneita's golden threads will make a judgment, pronouncing your fate."
Ka Er Si Lan Na nodded: "... I will obey your wishes."
"White-haired swordsman, if what you say is true, then you must know the world's fate inside out——so, how much of the prophecy *we* read in the oracle do you know?"
"……" Ka Er Si Lan Na took a deep breath, "'You will be shattered into a thousand pieces, withering in foreign soil.'… Right, Teacher Ti Bao?"
Ti Bao's eyes widened with a swish.
Aglaea also dazed, she lowered her head to look at Ti Bao: "This……"
"How is that possible……"
Hai Se Yin turned her head in astonishment: "Is he right?"
Ti Bao was also at a loss: "Yeah. But the prophecy never mentioned his appearance, at least… not belonging to this era."
Ka Er Si Lan Na spoke solemnly: "You must listen to me, Aglaea, Teacher Ti Bao: the 'White Calamity' of this era has not yet been born. In the distant future, he will follow the oracle's guidance and appear before you——but, do not seek him——because the 'Recreation of the World' is a complete fraud."
"I will tell you everything truthfully, and you will surely understand: why mankind must abandon the oracle, abandon the oracle, and find another path of the 'Recreation of the World'…… because I believe: no matter how history changes, the you I know——"
"The belief of all of us will always remain steadfast."
——
The Funeral of Frieren.
"In the first eternal recurrence, White Calamity tried to find a way to break the situation. But, does another path of the 'Recreation of the World' really exist?"
Xiu Ta Er Ke couldn't help but recall those insects he caught as a child, putting them in a glass bottle; no matter how the little insects hit the bottle walls, they could never gain freedom. Now White Calamity is like telling the truth of the 'bottle' to other insects, but…… they still can't break through this shackle, right?
"If we want to stop the Recreation of the World, the key lies in the Heichi itself." Zan Yin said, "My idea is, could we gather all the Titans, golden heirs, and humanity together, achieve a united front, unite as one to resist the Heichi?"
"Mm…… probably not possible, right?" Filien shook her head.
"Because Heichi monsters can also be killed. I think, if from the beginning we set a strategy, let the Divine Wisdom Tree Garden develop technological weapons, similar to the firearms and detonators used by Na Ke Xia, and let Xuanfengcheng train soldiers' martial skills, gathering all manpower and material resources, could we gain a sliver of chance?"
"Thirty million eternal recurrences, I believe White Calamity has already thought through all effective methods. Moreover, Zan Yin, I think your plan is even more fantastical than breaking the cycle."
"Oh? Why?"
"Convincing everyone in Weng Fa Luo Si to unite——this idea itself is already fantastical. Moreover, I believe letting a civilization's 'achievements resist the Heichi' is impossible. All people, matters, and things in Weng Fa Luo Si are for deep learning of the Heichi; learning brings growth and transformation, and as Weng Fa Luo Si's civilization level rises, the Heichi will likely gradually grow stronger…… until it swallows the world again."
——
"Thus, the rock layers began to reverse, history re-woven. Under the recommendation of an old friend, I met the leader of the Fire Pursuit Journey, Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output Thus we output keludela. After a difficult and lengthy negotiation, we reached an agreement——"
"Kai Sa's alliance needs 'destruction'; I am willing to give my all. And the spoils of the Fire Pursuit Journey——the fire seeds——will all be sealed for me. The precondition is: in the upcoming battle for the conquest of the 'Earth'…… I can prove that my strength is sufficient to surpass fate."
Ka Er Si Lan Na's pupils seemed to be shrouded in a layer of night.
"In the original history, that was a brutal war. In the end, the clan 'Wild Flute' of Ji Ao Li Ya slaughtered the frenzied Titan and took over the fire seeds that sustain the earth. But this time, Weng Fa Luo Si has encountered a turning point in fate."
"No one on either side sacrificed. When I beheaded the giant god's head, raised the fire seeds high, the crowd surrounded that divine corpse incinerated by golden blood, cheers thundered——cheering the hero of 'destruction', who for the first time ignited the spark of life."
Clusters of faint light sparkled in Ka Er Si Lan Na's pupils, like scattered fire falling into the twilight sea.
"Yes, in the swaying faint light, the originally dim path ahead seemed to also gain traces to follow. I proved myself, and in the subsequent long time, I brought downfall to each of the remaining Titans one by one."
"What I can do is not just 'waiting'; when time returns to the origin, the opportunity to change the world will also emerge from between the lines of history…… until, reversing the 'Recreation of the World' reveals the cruel future."
"……"
"The end of the first eternal recurrence."
"The light disappeared."
"But, tell me……"
"If this is truly the case, why do we still end up in the same outcome?"
White Calamity stood behind Ka Er Si Lan Na and questioned sternly.
"People kept their promise, letting you receive all the fire seeds. In this lifetime, after Ti Li Xi Bi Ei Si, Weng Fa Luo Si has no demigod born. Now I only want to know, when they dissipate in the Heichi as mortal bodies……"
"Why haven't you shed a single tear?"
——
Miss Hui Ye Wants Me to Confess.
"Because his tears have all evaporated……"
Watching White Calamity draw his long sword and press it against Ka Er Si Lan Na's back, Shi Shang felt his own heart involuntarily twitch once, as if someone had drilled a small hole into it with a nail and poured icy water into it.
"How did things come to this? White Calamity pointing his sword at 'himself'?"
"I suddenly recalled when White Calamity earlier went to subdue Nicadoli; at that time he absorbed the fire seeds of 'Conflict' into his body, with no effect on him. I initially thought this 'capacity to contain fire seeds' physique was also one manifestation of his 'perfection,' but looking back now……"
Bai Yin Yu Xing lowered his eyelids, took a deep sigh: "…This 'perfection' is also the source of his suffering."
"If it were someone else, the body could at most barely hold a few dozen to a few hundred. Only White Calamity can withstand the heat of four hundred million fire seeds. As the fire seeds increase, this so-called 'perfection'…… turns into an eternal curse that scorches his body."
