Chapter 599

Otherwise, Blade wouldn't have chased him down all the way, and the "Luo Fu" Xianzhou wouldn't have needed to continue imprisoning him after he shed his scales and was reborn, only to sentence him to eternal exile.

This, for him now, is not fair.

But in this world, there is no such thing as fairness.

The people of Belobog, from the moment they are born, have to face world-ending natural disasters, and the residents of the Underworld are even more lacking in food, clothing, and medicine, unable to see the sun.

While the people of Blue Star, from the beginning of their lives, have Herta, an Emanator of "Erudition," protecting them, allowing them to live carefree lives.

Can the residents of Belobog shout that this is unfair and then immediately reincarnate to Blue Star?

Probably not.

The rules operating in this vast universe are not as simple or pure as people think.

However, after the duels with Blade over the past few days.

Dan Heng also roughly understood why, in the eyes of others, he and "Imbibitor Lunae" were always inseparable.

——The power sleeping within his body is one of the fundamental reasons for today's situation.

Because he inherited this power, some people still regard him as "Imbibitor Lunae" and hope for "Imbibitor Lunae" to return like lightning.

It is also because he inherited this power that some people will always hate him, believing he should continue to atone as "Imbibitor Lunae."

The question is...

If he could really discard this power, would the phantoms of the past still linger?

Dan Heng shook his head; he couldn't say for sure.

But probably, it would also be difficult.

For every Vidyadhara, the meaning of reincarnation and rebirth is different; acquaintances, lovers, former elders, past enemies.

Past small conflicts, small unpleasantries, small sins, might be forgotten with reincarnation and rebirth.

When all those in the know have obtained a new life, these things naturally pass.

Unfortunately, "Imbibitor Lunae" must have defied the world and done unforgivable things.

And that event was not long ago; the witnesses of that year are mostly still alive, so naturally, it is difficult to forget.

Dan Heng couldn't help but think about how Bai Xuan would solve this troublesome problem.

But soon, he forcibly stopped his increasingly chaotic thoughts and noticed two light footsteps approaching the cabin.

With a swish, the cabin door opened, and March 7th and "Stelle" walked in.

"How could there be such a coincidence."

March 7th walked to Bai Xuan's side familiarly and hooked her arm around his.

"A 'Stellaron Hunter' came to the place where the 'Stellaron' erupted, and is so close to us; who would believe it's not intentional."

"Stelle" also nodded in agreement, supporting March 7th's words.

"This is certainly not a coincidence." Bai Xuan said with a smile.

Under the confused gazes of March 7th and "Stelle," he continued to explain:

"The leader of the 'Stellaron Hunters'—Elio—calls himself the 'Slave of Destiny,' and the reason he claims so is because he can see destiny and make choices among various possibilities."

"Ah?" March 7th exclaimed in surprise.

Dan Heng lowered his head in thought.

"Stelle's" lips parted slightly, her golden eyes trembling slightly.

"Then let's cast a vote against it in a while!" March 7th suggested.

"I originally just didn't want to listen to that woman's instructions—hijacking communications on her own, and hanging up on her own, really no manners!"

"But hearing Little Bai say this, have they already prepared a trap, just waiting for us to go to the 'Luo Fu' Xianzhou and then detonate it?"

"So, how about we all vote against it in a while?"

The few didn't speak for a while, just quietly organizing their thoughts.

After a long while, Bai Xuan rubbed March 7th's hair:

"That's not right, March."

"Hmm?"

"Think about it, since Elio has already seen the future and made a choice, doesn't that mean no matter what we do, the other party will have already made arrangements?"

March 7th thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Perhaps... it seems it really is like that."

Dan Heng narrowed his eyes, his brows slightly furrowed:

"Then what should we do?"

"It's simple, just do what a 'Nameless' should do." Bai Xuan turned to look out the porthole, looking at Jarilo-VI, which was no longer frozen and no longer troubled by the "Cold Wave."

Since no matter how we choose, it's within the other party's expectations, it's better to choose what we should choose, what we want to choose, stick to our original intentions, and remain unchanged to meet all changes.

Just like some people worry all day that everyone's destiny is decided at birth, whether they strive or fall, it's all fated, and there's no choice.

The solution is similar.

"Doesn't that still mean following that Kafka's instructions... ahhh! So annoying!" March 7th complained.

Just as the young people were distressed about where the "Astral Express" should head.

On the light screen.

After several days of excavation, the archaeological team had found the true entrance to the underground cavity.

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, casting golden beams, leaving large bright spots on the white shed cloth.

At this time, the excavation site was exceptionally lively and exceptionally tense.

The archaeological team members were wearing wear-resistant work clothes, tightly wearing safety helmets, holding iron shovels, picks, and small detection equipment, unable to wait to expand the cave entrance.

The long-sealed scent permeated the air, and blue and green lights were faintly visible deeper inside; they seemed to be flowing on the ground, forming a lake.

"What do you think that is?"

The leader of the team, an elderly professor, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, pointing to the strange light inside, and asked his student.

"Some unknown luminescent substance? After the sealed environment was destroyed, new oxygen entered, causing some substance to undergo continuous oxidation, and then it presented this appearance?"

This PhD student held the Geiger counter in his hand and showed it to his mentor to explain that it was not some radioactive substance.

"In any case, it will be a great discovery... maybe it's some unknown chemical substance that will allow us historians to win a chemistry prize."

The professor laughed out loud.

"That would truly be an unprecedented one." The PhD student also laughed.

Not long after, the two also threw themselves back into the site clearing work.

Soil, rubble, and broken bricks were cleared away bit by bit, revealing a more complete passage entrance.

On the walls built of stone, one could still see the traces of the excavation from back then, simple and full of historical weight.

Subsequently, the photographer followed the archaeological team members to explore inward, and ancient stone carvings and decorations appeared in the picture.

Those were overly primitive and abstract carvings, without a sense of space, and the human bodies were even more abstract.

Yet even so, it was possible to recognize that the ancient ancestors were crawling on the ground, kneeling before a strange existence that looked like a tree but had insect characteristics.

Holding various sacrificial activities, and offering it various prey, food, and even humans.

Seeing this, the audience understood one after another.

In even more ancient times, humans had already come into contact with the "Supreme Heaven Parasite" and mistakenly worshipped it as a god.

And it looked like they had obtained considerable benefits from it, otherwise they wouldn't have held grand sacrifices, and even offered living people.

In an era when productivity was extremely underdeveloped, living people were either labor, responsible for the reproduction of the tribe, or spare rations.

"Such primitive sacrifices... I don't know if the 'Supreme Heaven Parasite' scared them, or if it really gave considerable benefits."

"Probably the latter; the 'Supreme Heaven Parasite' shouldn't actively transfer, if it were just simple danger, it could be easily avoided... the current situation is a bit intriguing."

"It seems it should be some kind of nature worship."

The professor held a flashlight, observing these stone carvings in detail.

Then, he turned around, aimed at the lens, and began to explain:

"Ancient civilizations often worshipped elements in nature, such as the sun, moon, water, land, fire, etc. These elements were regarded as existences with mysterious power, controlling the progress of life and the world."

"People in different regions might worship different natural elements and gods, according to their geographical environment and lifestyle."

"In order to obtain the protection and shelter of natural power, people often held various rituals and sacrifices. These rituals might include sacrificing offerings, holding religious festivals, and performing prayers and supplications."

"And obviously..."

The professor raised his hand and pointed to the exceptionally tall abnormal existence in the stone carving. ===== CHAPTER 601 =====
