Chapter 33

Since buying ice cream for Wil Angsenton last time, this monster path, i. e., the great angel of the Fate path, the Fate Snake, has been following Feng Yi, temporarily counting as his ally in this world.

However, to the rest of the people in the baron's manor, Feng Yi can now be considered the guardian of this little boy who looks no older than ten.

Of course, what Feng Yi gave the Fate Snake could not be ordinary ice cream; instead, according to his spiritual sense's feeling, he integrated a trace of the power of the Yellow Earth Altar, which actually could help the snake eliminate part of the madness accumulated within its body, maintaining its humanity.

Otherwise, he could not have easily 'lured' back a Fate Snake.

Now they are mutually beneficial!

Feng Yi can get help from a Fate Snake, and Wil can thereby eliminate the madness accumulated within his body.

In this world, other extraordinary ones cannot crush and absorb the divinity contained in extraordinary characteristics, which is the mental imprint left by the original Creator, so each extraordinary one's body accumulates a great deal of madness.

The higher the sequence, the harder this madness is to suppress; especially upon reaching angel rank of Sequence Two and above, the accumulated divinity inside reaches a certain level, constantly risking loss of control.

Of course, after developing for so many years, the world's extraordinary ones are not without a method to counter the divinity lingering in extraordinary characteristics: that is believers' faith.

Using believers' faith as an anchor can solidify one's humanity, thereby countering the mental imprint of the original Creator left in extraordinary characteristics, preserving the independence of one's will.

This is also one of the reasons why the Sequence 0 true gods of this world all establish churches or various secret organizations.

And as a great angel of Sequence 1 of the Fate path, Wil Angsenton's body naturally also accumulates a great deal of madness.

Furthermore, his Fate Snake also has an enemy: another Fate Snake that has accommodated two portions of Sequence 1 extraordinary characteristics of the Fate path, Ulorlius.

Originally, Wil was preparing to perform the special ability of the Fate Snake, which is the Sequence 1 Fate path's special ability, to restart.

This is a special ability, like reincarnation.

After restarting with this ability, Wil can not only wash away his own madness but also hide himself to evade the pursuit of another Fate Snake.

Of course, the cost is becoming an infant, regrowing, and strength needing to slowly recover.

However, the Fate path is indeed one of the most inscrutable paths in the world, worthy of being called 'heaven feeding you meals'.

Before Wil could even perform the restart, he instinctively, following fate's guidance, met Feng Yi, and incidentally screwed over Amon.

After that, Feng Yi also, according to his spiritual sense's feeling, gave him fate's repayment, helping him eliminate part of the madness accumulated within his body, allowing him to normally maintain his humanity, temporarily no need to restart.

One can only say, as expected of a Fate Snake, following fate's instructions yields the most advantageous choice for oneself!

"Wil, did you hear what I just said?"

After glancing at Wil walking in, Feng Yi continued to play with the silver bracelet in his hand, casually saying: "Are you trying to remind me of something?"

"Hmm."

After Wil walked in, he pointed to the silver-white bracelet in Feng Yi's hand, his expression somewhat solemn as he said: "Just as you just said, but Bethel is not merely trapped that simply; his condition is also not right."

"I understand."

Interrupting Wil's words, Feng Yi withdrew his gaze from the necklace in his hand, smiled at him, and said: "Bethel has been polluted by the Outer God of the Starry Sky, and moreover, it is polluted by the Fallen Mother God, who among those Outer Gods can be called a pillar-level Old One; rest assured, I will pay attention to this."

"So you already knew!"

Hearing the words of this mysterious existence of extremely high Fate rank before him, Wil couldn't help but sigh in relief.

Regarding the Fallen Mother God, a pillar-level Old One, even he, a Sequence 1 great angel of the Fate path, cannot discern fate's trajectory, fearing that this mysterious existence before him might be careless and suffer a sneak attack.

If this mysterious existence before him, possessing a higher Fate authority rank, encounters trouble, the opportunity he senses to accommodate the uniqueness of the Fate path would likely have to be waited for again.

The Fate path, as the name suggests, is related to Fate authority, and the ritual to accommodate uniqueness is also related to Fate, which is just one word: wait.

Waiting for fate's opportunity, when it should come it naturally arrives, completely beyond one's control.

This is the simplest yet most difficult ritual, entirely down to luck; the opportunity to accommodate may appear in the next moment, or may never appear.

Having obtained the Fate path's uniqueness for so many years, Wil has never sensed the opportunity to accommodate; now that he has barely caught a glimpse of a hint of hope, he naturally does not want this mysterious existence before him to encounter trouble.

As a Fate Snake, blessed by fate, Wil can faintly sense that his future opportunity lies on this mysterious existence before him.

This is fate's guidance; he firmly believes it, and this is also his main reason for following that party.

After looking at the Fate Snake before him for a moment, Feng Yi's eyes showed a thoughtful expression, and after a while he suddenly said: "Wil, do you think I can obtain Alesu Hod's Pen?"

"Alesu Hod's Pen?"

Wil first stared, his eyes instantly flashing with silver-white light, as if a silver-white great snake appearing head-to-tail.

After a moment, tears pattered down from his eyes uncontrollably.

"Sorry, sir."

Wil choked up a bit, somewhat embarrassed, saying: "Your fate is too lofty; I cannot see it clearly."

"No problem."

Feng Yi, seeming thoughtful, touched Wil's head, activating the aura of the Yellow Earth Altar, instantly stopping the tears in his eyes.

Regarding this, Feng Yi's spiritual sense already had a faint perception.

With the Yellow Earth Altar's protection, plus his own accommodation of Fuxi's status and concept, having devoured the original Creator's mental imprint, Feng Yi's fate now is naturally not something Wil, a Sequence 1 Fate Snake, can easily see through.

Not to mention just a Sequence 1 Fate Snake, even a Sequence 0 Fate Wheel, or even an Old One–level Key of Light, Feng Yi faintly feels that he cannot truly see through his fate's trajectory.

This also lets Feng Yi have some speculation about his previous encounter with Wil.

Not long ago, Wil was able to follow fate's guidance to meet himself because his accommodation of Fuxi's status was guiding fate's changes, preventing himself from meeting Amon.

Although Feng Yi's accommodation of Fuxi's status has a fundamental Great Dao that is not Fate, only a part of it containing concepts related to spacetime Fate means that, to the extraordinary ones of this world's Fate path, he could perhaps be considered an existence of extremely high Fate rank.

And the extraordinary ones of the Fate path who have received fate's favor naturally also are subject to fate's restriction: that is, an instinctive closeness to Feng Yi, who accommodates Fuxi's status.

"Perhaps this is the reason I can truly lure Wil's Fate Snake back?"

"Fate ah"

With thoughts turning in his mind, Feng Yi gained a new insight into this special power of fate.

"When the time comes, heaven and earth work together; when fate departs, heroes are not free."

"This concept and power of fate can be used to aid in divination and deduction, but cannot be relied upon; the key still lies in one's own strength."

"Only by being strong oneself is fundamental."

Hum

A humming sound resonated in his mind and spirit, Feng Yi's spirit instantly cleared, as if some power had shattered a part and merged into his innate spiritual light.

Surely, fate is merely an incidental aspect of Fuxi's status and concept, not its own fundamental essence.

One after another, new information and insights floated in his heart; Feng Yi felt his spirit seemed to have undergone a baptism, becoming ever more lucid and refined.

When Feng Yi sensed part of the concept of fate and his own self underwent a change, Wei Er suddenly startled, as if sensing something, and subconsciously turned his gaze toward him.

He found that the mysterious being's outward form had not changed much, but its sense of presence had become far more exalted, as if it were in another, higher dimension—unobservable, uninvestigable, incomprehensible.

In a daze, he seemed to see again the divine figure with a human body and dragon tail, containing boundless, unfathomable information; everyone could perceive within it concepts and authority related to themselves.

Perhaps because of the fate path he walks, Wei Er, in his dazed state, seemed to glimpse a higher rank of partial fate authority, gaining a new insight into his fate path.

After a while, Wei Er suddenly came to his senses, finding that the madness within him had somewhat dissipated again, and his humanity became ever more steadfast.

'Merely being near this mysterious being, affected instinctively by the change in its aura, can actually dispel the madness within me.'

'Indeed, it is fate's guidance.'

As this thought arose in his mind, Wei Er's expression grew ever more delighted, like that of an ordinary ten‑year‑old child.

Just then, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in Wei Er's ear: 'Wei Er, I need your strength.'
