If treated by the most skilled ‘psychologist’ and then sealed by any True God, she might still have been saved—but why save her?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If left to unfold, the Kordu Village incident would indeed trigger a great disaster, but with timely interference, it could yield immense gains and play a crucial role at some future pivotal moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A small elf, existing in the form of a lizard, entered Kordu Village and quietly maintained the balance, ensuring the outcome followed the cultists’ original plan without letting it truly succeed, while also preserving a sliver of hope for Auroralee’s resurrection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the end, their goal was achieved: Guillaume Béne held the grand sacrifice himself before the ‘Sinner’ organization sent anyone over, opening a temporary passage above the barrier, allowing Thelmipolos to descend.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amon had long been waiting nearby, deceived the ritual, exploited the barrier, and secretly followed Thelmipolos back into this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Auroralee’s final act of pushing away Lumian Lee caused a minor accident, but did not alter the outcome—the ‘Fool’s’ aura on Lumian Lee, stirred by the surrounding environment and his intense emotional fluctuations, successfully drew the ‘Fool’s’ gaze…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lumian’s hands clenched involuntarily into fists, his inner rage blazing fiercely, overwhelming his numbness and despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon seemed unaware of his emotional shift and continued reading:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thelmipolos was thus severely wounded, his soul fragments, along with those of Auroralee Lee and the villagers of Kordu, sealed within Lumian Lee’s body. During this process, Amon willingly joined them, stole Thelmipolos’s fate and identity before He could recover, killed Him, and reduced Him to a Sequence 1 Divine Character of the Path of Fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Before Lumian Lee became the ‘Penitent,’ Amon had already absorbed that Divine Character, completed the Path transition, and fully replaced Thelmipolos—only lacking the final ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is vital. It will not change whether the current plan is the Vortex Ritual or something else. Lumian Lee will soon understand why.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Amon looked up at the dark sky, thick as glass, and laughed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From now on, I’ll only read the key parts—I’m afraid Rousseau won’t last much longer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lumian did not respond, pouring all his strength into suppressing his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to uncover the truth behind everything that had happened!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon lowered his head again, gazing at the paper in his hands:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the first phase of psychological therapy ended, the hidden danger of the ‘Shadow Tree’ was prematurely triggered, forcing Lumian Lee to confront Suzanne Mathis’s sacrifice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Amon sealed within him could not bear the weight and complexity of the ‘Shadow Tree’s’ fate stream, nor could he accelerate the fate fragment involving Monsury’s ghost into an actual attack—but the ‘Angel of Fate,’ Ulolios, had been watching nearby all along. This was His specialty; in this regard, He was far superior to the ‘Sufferer’ of the Path of Fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With Ulolios’s covert aid, Lumian Lee successfully exchanged the fate of being attacked by Monsury’s ghost for the fate of a root of the ‘Shadow Tree’ being severed by the invisible flames of Fourth Era Trill—a fate that would play a critical role in Lumian Lee’s upcoming battle with Suzanne Mathis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Between the two battles, Amon did not miss this opportunity, deliberately striking Lumian Lee with words of misfortune. This was deception. Had the true Thelmipolos been present, he would have said nearly the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At the end of the ‘Shadow Tree’ incident, the lizard-like elf deliberately let Lumian Lee see it, igniting in him an urgent desire to uncover the truth behind the Kordu disaster.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Lumian froze again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is my desire, my anger, also what He wanted?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon seemed to skip ahead, beginning the next key point:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Flamand, driven mad by encountering Monsury’s ghost, coincidentally checked into the Golden Rooster Inn. His experiences and fate resonated with Lumian Lee, and the blood-earth ore he left behind gave Lumian Lee the possibility of obtaining the residual aura of the ‘Blood Emperor.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“At this time, due to the aggregation of Amon’s essence, more and more Amons became aware of Lumian Lee’s existence and acquired corresponding information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To bring out the hidden value of the blood-earth ore, one Amon chose to steal it—and coincidentally, a certain lady from the Church of Night had asked Lumian Lee to help her enter the underground crypt to obtain water from the ‘Samaritan Woman’s Spring.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the enthusiastic help of the Amons, Lumian Lee ultimately obtained the residual aura of the ‘Blood Emperor’ through the blood-earth ore—this was the first step toward mystical similarity with ‘0—01,’ and it would later aid him in moments of crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Inn Plan unfolded as expected: some participants were killed, some achieved their goals, others secretly received guidance within the Fourth Era Trill, beyond the gaze of those outside the barrier, and Lumian Lee and his companions obtained their first fragment of the special mirror world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After leaving Trill, Lumian Lee was inevitably drawn to Sangtagang, where the seal was reinforced prematurely. Though this left a hidden flaw, it at least extended the seal’s endurance…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During his subsequent journey, Lumian Lee encountered Father Monserrat and received the burned umbilical cord of Oumibera. He was also inadvertently drawn into matters related to Naporedisli, laying the groundwork for his later encounter with Fabuti’s avatar within the tomb during the ‘Dream Festival.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During the ‘Dream Festival,’ Lumian Lee successfully obtained the seal of the ‘Man of the Mingdao ,’ truly achieving mystical similarity with ‘0—01’…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Along the journey, Lumian Lee met several individuals whose experiences resembled his own, yet whose choices and outcomes differed. Moved by them, he solidified his resolve, and his psychological state improved further, completing the second phase of psychological therapy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After asking Mr. K to resolve the ‘Figure in the Painting’ incident involving Perle, Lumian Lee went to the first church built by the Aurora Society for the ‘True Creator.’ There, he coincidentally saw the lizard-like elf crawling over the deity’s body, slipping in and out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This dealt him a massive blow, causing his psychological state to deteriorate—but it also made his desire and belief for revenge stronger and more resolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After returning from Morola to Trill, Lumian Lee began preparing for his advancement to ‘Ironblood Knight.’ But he himself failed to realize that his psychological and emotional state had not yet met the requirements for becoming a demigod. Even with a sealed angel as a teammate, he still faced a high probability of losing control after consuming the ‘Ironblood Knight’ elixir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fortunately, the existence of the ‘Black Tear’ and Chelia Belo’s transformation into the ‘Joyful Witch’ prematurely triggered emotional issues within Lumian’s team. After turmoil and pain, Lumian chose to confront his own thoughts, attempting to respond to others’ care for him—even if his response was twisted, at least he took the first step, no longer passively accepting or always placing himself at the lowest, most negligible position. This shift in mindset would prove vital in his upcoming advancement ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, Lumian Lee’s emotions and desires were released; his attachments were no longer suppressed by fear of loss. His bonds with Francque Roland and Chelia Belo grew stronger and more intimate, granting him two powerful anchors during his demigod advancement—anchors that would help him stabilize his consciousness and anchor his self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The third and final phase of psychological therapy ended. Lumian Lee could now endure new blows.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During the Vortex Ritual, Lumian’s team was cornered; all members except him would be killed or taken by Higton of the ‘End of All Things’ within minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lumian Lee asked Amon for help, but Amon refused, for He was not Lumian Lee’s godfather and had no obligation to assist. Though after repeatedly receiving Amon’s blessings, Lumian Lee had indeed grown increasingly like Amon, increasingly adept at exploiting loopholes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lumian Lee alone, with only those ‘Class 1’ sealed artifacts, could not save his teammates—because Vazan Sanson would soon join Higton.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lumian Lee now had only one choice: to advance to demigod on the spot. But Amon was unwilling to shatter the ‘Sword of Courage’ and restore it to its Divine Character, nor had Lumian Lee completed his ‘Ironblood Knight’ ritual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amon told him the only help He would provide was to shatter the ‘Black Tear’ and supply the missing auxiliary material for the ‘Despair’ elixir, then send him to Morola, where he could use the exiles there to complete the ritual and ascend to ‘Despair Witch.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As the ‘Despair Witch’ wielding the ‘Sword of Courage,’ Lumian Lee successfully saved his teammates. Afterwards, he would oscillate between the ‘Witch’ and ‘Hunter’ Paths, spiraling upward—this asymmetry was not required, but depended on circumstances, aiming to fulfill the saying: ‘Yin alone does not grow, Yang alone does not thrive; Yin contains Yang, Yang contains Yin; when Yin and Yang unite, all things arise.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the only correct way to approach the apex power of the two Disaster Paths. Aristar Tudo and Chik made incorrect attempts—they failed and instead created a great mess.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“During this process, Auroralee’s soul fragments would gradually revive while Lumian Lee was in his ‘Witch’ state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Lumian Lee ultimately defeats the ‘Red Angel’ Medici and the ‘Primordial Witch’ Chik, and gains control over the apex power of the two Disaster Paths, Auroralee’s personality and soul fragments may be resurrected by relying on Lumian Lee’s own soul and flesh, then fuse with his consciousness, suppress the Fate contamination, become his female form, and govern the yin aspect of Disaster. This is true yin-yang opposition and unity, similar to Medici’s evil spirit’s current state, yet even more akin to the apex.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the only way for Auroralee to truly be resurrected.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amon paused, gazing at Lumian, who had become as still as a statue, tilted his chin slightly, and revealed a faint smile as he recited the final line:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you accept this ending?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>PS: Thank you to Qiaqiahaohao for the Silver Alliance donation~\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1680,"2026-06-20T06:22:37.987Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","8a3b9d8279b3198ca5c03eb58ba0d68ababb0fb9c38d68a6e4e79028bfb01478","the-ring-of-fate-chapter-880","the-ring-of-fate-chapter-878",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-ring-of-fate-cover.jpg"]
