Chapter 1022: The Twilight Church Has Come

The Twilight Church Has Come

More than just 【Truth】?

Besides 【Truth】, the only thing that can view the whole world with a "relatively rational" mindset is 【Foolishness】.

Linking this to the fact that Galiusha is a believer of 【Foolishness】...

Oh no, Pelaya hasn't been assimilated by Galiusha, has she?

Has she taken 【Foolishness】 as the new 【Truth】?

But how could a scholar who looks so incredibly steady become a believer of 【Foolishness】 so lightly? Besides, she doesn't have the signature actions of a 【Foolishness】 believer.

Cheng Shi was very curious, but it was clearly not the time to ask around. Explaining the 【Truth Ritual】 had already wasted a lot of time, and Pelaya's figure was starting to fade. He had to seize the opportunity to ask this great scholar what temporary plans the Scholarly Chair Association might prepare to deal with her as a traitor and intruder.

And this plan was very likely the trial experiment the players were looking for.

Pelaya frowned. She calmly analyzed the various information the players had input for her. Not long after, she suddenly shook all over, her pupils shrinking as she looked up, and with a tone suppressing a trace of anger, she spat out two words:

"Retracing!"

Retracing?

Cheng Shi certainly knew about retracing, because the 【Wasteland Walker】 experiment that Pelaya herself presided over was a means of deconstructing space-time, using bloodlines as a guide to construct space-time connections, thereby retracing to the Rosna Empire to find the soul of Dizer in the 【Gift of Scars】.

But the problem is, why would the Scholarly Chair Association retrace to that time? Even if they had the means to piece together the soul and body of a Messenger through the 【Truth Ritual】, Dizer's soul was long gone; it had been personally destroyed by that Lord.

In this way, what else would the Scholarly Chair Association retrace, and what else could they retrace?

Then wouldn't this 【Truth】 experiment, suspected to be the answer to clearing the level, be impossible to complete?

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi was dumbfounded. He truly hadn't expected that the previous prayer trial had actually blocked the path of the special trial.

Others were clearly also aware of this great scholar's experiments. Hu Xuan even glanced at Cheng Shi thoughtfully, thinking the same thing as him.

Only Fang Yuan frowned in confusion: "If the 【Truth Ritual】 could really piece together a Messenger, the Tower of Reason would not be heading toward decline. Great Scholar, are you sure they are continuing your unfinished experiment?"

"No, who told you they are continuing my experiment?"

"Piecing together a god is not that easy, and the time is not certain to be enough. They must want to use the means of retracing to stop everything before them, but the direction of retracing will never be 【Wasteland Walker】..."

"To deconstruct space-time, one must find the space-time connection between two items from different space-times. If I am not mistaken, the space-time connection Volunt and the others want to deconstruct is not the 【Wasteland Walker】 that carries the possibility of an artificial false god, but..."

"【Wasteland Walker】 and me!"

"And you!?"

Everyone's eyes narrowed, and they immediately understood Pelaya's meaning.

"You mean, they want to retrace to the past by deconstructing the space-time connection related to you to stop your betrayal?"

Pelaya nodded with a gloomy expression; this was the only explanation she could think of.

Piecing together a false god, not to mention whether it could succeed, would at least be far from reaching the effect of curbing the underground forces sweeping the country. But if the influence brought by Pelaya was erased from the root, then with the blessing of the 【Truth Ritual】, the Scholarly Chair Association might be able to rebuild the ruined Tusnat!

"Not only me, but it is also possible that they are using this as bait to fish up the space-time connection related to her, thereby exterminating her at the source!"

"As long as the source of the disaster from the underground is solved, Volunt can use the 【Truth Ritual】 to rebuild Tusnat."

When saying this, Pelaya's tone was somewhat gnashing her teeth.

Cheng Shi was stunned.

He could tell that "her" here should refer to Galiusha. But even when analyzing being targeted herself, the great scholar's temper hadn't fluctuated like this. Why did the hatred erupting in Pelaya's eyes when mentioning Galiusha seem like she wanted to kill everyone in the Scholarly Chair Association?

Were they that close?

This was strange. How exactly did Galiusha turn this believer of 【Truth】 against them?

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and, while Pelaya hadn't dissipated yet, asked in a race against time: "Based on your understanding of the Scholarly Chair Association, where would they set a trap waiting for you?"

"A place I cannot think of."

"?"

"The activation of the 【Truth Ritual】 requires time to prepare. They want to use this to complete the experiment of deconstructing the space-time connection between me and 【Wasteland Walker】, which will only delay my arrival."

"So on this question, I cannot give you an answer."

"But if you don't give us a hint, how can we help you?"

Cheng Shi saw the clue was about to break and started playing the emotional card, but in fact, their method of clearing the trial should be to facilitate this experiment.

Pelaya was not a fool. Even if she couldn't guess the Scholarly Chair Association's experimental location, she could have listed the locations she could guess as elimination options, but she didn't.

Because she couldn't see the purpose of this group of people, and the reason she spoke so detailedly before was not without the thought of finding some variables to join this game and win a glimmer of life for her real self.

Still the same saying, when time returns to the Continent of Star Fall, the indigenous people of this world are the protagonists of the era.

Pelaya scanned the people before her silently, her figure slowly dissipating, and the few people present also looked at each other, their expressions different.

"This is the shrewdness of a great scholar." Fang Yuan sighed, then looked at Cheng Shi and said, "Fate Weaver, it was a pleasure working with you, but to improve efficiency, I will go first."

"I will go to the south of the city to check all suspicious locations and then meet up with you again at the time you decide."

"As for you three... whether you go together or separately, do as you please."

After speaking, Fang Yuan blasted open the void again and left without looking back.

Watching the Elemental Judge leave, Cheng Shi always felt that the "to improve efficiency" the other party said was fake, and to get rid of the delusional person before him seemed real.

However, having a teammate who honestly conducted the trial was always a good thing. He turned his head to look at Hu Xuan behind him who was listening to arrangements, and then at Meng Youfang who looked like "I'm sticking with you," and sighed in his heart.

It seemed he had to change his plan.

Is it easy for me to get some points in the trial?

"Sage, let's separate for a while. To improve efficiency, please go to the north of the city to check."

"As for me... there is probably another play to perform next."

As soon as the words fell, with Hu Xuan's nod of agreement and Meng Youfang's slight confusion, three men and one woman appeared in the courtyard outside the laboratory.

The Twilight Church, the culprit who brought endless 【Chaos】 to the surface, had arrived with a suspicious and uneasy pilgrimage heart.
