Chapter 821

"On the Express, I didn't talk to you because I knew then that here, you and I would talk alone."

Stelle didn't speak for a moment, just nodded slightly.

Kafka continued:

"So I thought, why not leave everything until now? You seem to have many things you want to ask me."

Stelle did indeed have many questions in her heart, but there was clearly not much time to answer them, otherwise Fu Xuan wouldn't have taken her troops and left directly, tacitly allowing Kafka to leave once she was done.

"Hmm."

Stelle nodded and quickly organized her language in her heart:

"What did Fu Xuan see?"

Kafka nodded slightly, not at all surprised by Stelle's question.

"Elio said he foresaw three questions, but they were essentially the same thing."

"If I heard one of them, I would tell you the purpose of this trip, one by one."

"Since you asked one of those three questions, it means everything is going smoothly. Are you ready to hear my answer?"

Having said this, Kafka paused.

She looked up slightly, her gaze passing through layers of pavilions and landing on the distant, sleeping giant ancient tree.

That was the "Ambrosial Arbor," a miracle of "Abundance" that had withered for thousands of years.

Immediately, she withdrew her gaze.

"The Xianzhou's 'Stellaron turmoil' has no direct connection to us."

"But if you stand from Elio's perspective, then, it cannot be said that the 'Stellaron Hunters' are innocent."

"We had long foreseen all of this, but we remained indifferent until the right moment to throw ourselves into it."

"The reason Master Diviner Fu was so surprised is because she discovered three facts:"

"First, the 'Stellaron Hunters' are not the enemies of the Xianzhou; you already know this, although you never believed it."

"Second, someone else brought the 'Stellaron' into the Xianzhou and activated it; there are both internal troubles and external threats here."

"The traitors within the 'Luo Fu' and the enemies from the outside want to subvert the Xianzhou—the Master Diviner is in such a hurry to find the General, presumably to inform him of this."

"However, that is all the Master Diviner knows, because Elio did not tell me the key information either."

"He foresaw that the Divination Commission would use the 'Matrix of Exhaustive Observation' on me."

"To prevent any accidents, at this very moment, I only know what the Xianzhou Alliance should know."

"As for the third fact, I'm afraid the Xianzhou Alliance would never dream of it... haha."

"The third fact is:"

She said slowly, then exhaled gently, her gaze concentrating once more, the smile on her lips becoming playful.

"If the Stellaron Hunters are not the instigators of all this, then why are Blade and I here?"

Kafka said word by word:

"—It is for you."

"For... us..."

Stelle repeated Kafka's words, having a guess in her heart.

Seeing the change in Stelle's expression, Kafka said thoughtfully:

"Sounds absurd, right?"

"No wonder Master Diviner Fu doesn't believe it, but the 'Matrix of Exhaustive Observation' does not lie."

"So the answer is just that interesting."

"The Stellaron Hunters appeared here, Blade was captured, and I was led into this Matrix of Exhaustive Observation, all to bring you—the 'Astral Express'—to the Xianzhou."

"The 'Astral Express' is to come to the 'Luo Fu,' that's right, and it must also do something big on the Xianzhou:"

"In the future Elio chose, the power of 'The Hunt' is indispensable."

"For this, you must establish a connection with the Alliance..."

"So I had to trick you into coming here."

"I need you to directly contact the Luo Fu General, help them resolve the 'Stellaron turmoil,' and let the Alliance owe a favor."

"This way, in the future of the future, at the most critical moment, the Xianzhou will lend you a helping hand."

"How is it? Is it surprising?"

"The notorious 'Stellaron Hunters' did so much just to make you a hero of the Xianzhou—no one would have thought of such a script, right?"

Stelle was not too surprised.

Bai Xuan had long said that if the Foundation had not come into being, the "Astral Express" would inevitably have conflicted with "Destruction" Nanook, and even participated directly in the war of gods.

But after the Foundation came into being, the past cosmic order and the rules between Aeons no longer applied.

Such disasters that would cause cosmic turmoil, civilization collapse, and genocide would not be allowed to happen.

After that, if "Destruction" Nanook still wanted to practice the path of "Destruction," it would likely clash with the Foundation's fleet, the Foundation's divinity, and even the Administrator himself.

However, Stelle was still quite interested in what that future should have looked like.

She blinked and looked at Kafka:

"What is that future?"

"I said," Kafka shook her head, "Elio did not tell me the key information."

"The possibilities of the future are infinite; knowing the right things at the wrong time will also turn our long-term efforts into nothing."

"Regarding the future, I can only tell you one thing: in those best and worst futures, you will eventually face 'Destruction' Nanook."

"By then you will need all the help you can get, because that will be a cruel battle at the level of an Aeon."

"That is a level that you, I, and the 'Astral Express' cannot reach; in the vast majority of futures, destiny ends at that moment."

"But if you follow Elio's 'script,' there will eventually be a glimmer of life."

"Do you know, Stelle, even an Aeon can be killed."

Stelle was silent for a moment, and in the silence, what appeared in her mind was the battle between the "Missing Object" and many supreme divinities she had seen not long ago, as well as the decrepit "Old Man of the Dead Sea."

Even the supreme will fall.

Let alone an Aeon?

Speaking of "Destruction" Nanook... it seems like Little Bai could easily handle Him...

"Your script is... to kill an Aeon?"

Stelle said slowly, a glow appearing in her golden eyes, a bit excited, even a bit eager to try.

Watching divinity fall and gods fight through light screens and terminals.

How could that compare to personally plotting the fall of an Aeon, or even participating directly in a war of gods?

"Ha, how is that possible? That is not our wish."

Looking at Stelle's eager expression, Kafka inhaled secretly, her expression somewhat bitter.

Elio hadn't told her that Stelle would suddenly become excited after hearing her statement.

Clearly, under someone's day-and-night irrigation, her attitude toward Aeons had quietly changed.

And whether this change was good or bad, Kafka couldn't say for sure for a moment.

The world crawls on the ground, craving a glance from an Aeon.

But after Stelle was glanced at by "Destruction" Nanook, some changes occurred that Elio hadn't expected.

By the time the "Astral Express" really fought Nanook, Stelle shouldn't pull out a baseball bat and hammer Nanook on the back of the head, right...

Quietly suppressing the expectation rising in her heart, Kafka chuckled:

"I just want to tell you some things that have happened: the stories of those fallen Aeons."

"Stories of fallen Aeons"... can I listen to stories again?

Stelle waited intently for the rest.

She loved listening to stories, especially those involving historical secrets that couldn't be found even after searching the entire galactic network.

"Like 'Trailblaze' Akivili?"

Kafka nodded and continued:

"And 'Immortality' Long, 'Beauty' Idrila, 'Order' Tayzzyronth, 'Propagation'..."

The trajectory of the plot had shifted, but fortunately, the shift was not large and was still within an acceptable range.

"These are all names that once resounded through the universe; now, they have all disappeared, leaving only ownerless paths."

"There are three methods currently known to humans for making an 'Aeon' fall."

"First, collisions occur between paths with overlapping concepts." ===== CHAPTER 823 =====
