Chapter 1291: Past Memories Buried Deep in the Earth

Xia De turned to look behind him, but the witch was gone, and the ruins of the three stone arches were also subtly different from just now.

At the end of the three arches, on the ground where Xia De was standing, although the patterns composed of the sun, moon, and stars were still engraved, the patterns were no longer glowing; instead, they looked like they had been painted on. Looking up at the starry sky again, Xia De had a certain attainment in astrology after possessing 【Witch Echo · Luweiya】, and he knew very well that the starry sky at this time was not the night sky of the 16th day of the Star-Sparse Month, Common Calendar 1854.

"This is... contact with the Father of the Infinite Tree!"

The sound of tree crowns being blown by the wind sounded in Xia De's ear, and then "She" told him the exact time:

【Past · Sixth Era, Common Calendar 1857 Winter, 17th day of the Slumbering Month, night, 10:57 PM.】

"1857? The Sixth Era I am in is only the Star-Sparse Month of 1854..."

Before Xia De could express his suspicion with his expression, "She" prompted softly again:

【Attention, Outsider, you are experiencing an illegal time travel.】

"Illegal?"

【Time travel without using a Time Key is all illegal. Because you have the aura of the Tree Father and have received the help of the ancient god's power, this time travel activity is allowed for a duration of 3 minutes and does not occupy your Time Key waiting time. Note, they cannot notice you, and you can only observe.】

"Is there really no other way, Luweiya?"

The two girls with their backs to Xia De on the cliff didn't know that someone was watching them, and the conversation continued.

The one speaking now was Miss La Sesi. Xia De could observe that her legs dangling outside the cliff were swinging unconsciously. Even though it was winter, she was still wearing a short skirt with cotton socks. However, when the two were talking, neither of them looked at each other, and the Miss La Sesi that Xia De knew, although she would call Luweiya by her name after the Battle of Eldron Lake, obviously would not be so intimate.

"Yes, there is only this way, Third Candidate."

Even if the era was different, Luweiya's voice was still as pleasant as ever:

"The power of the demon is almost unstoppable, and tomorrow night, the evil god will descend to hold that feast that spreads across the earth. The only way now is for the Earth's Chosen One to appear. Only the Chosen One can save Randel Valley."

Compared to the voice Xia De was used to, the long-haired Luweiya's voice was slightly cold... but Xia De liked it just as much.

"Third Candidate..."

Miss La Sesi sighed, as if she were just stating a fact:

"So, are you going to kill me?"

Xia De raised an eyebrow when he heard this. Miss La Sesi was the third candidate for the Earth's Chosen One, which had also been confirmed in the 【Present · Sixth Era】. He just didn't understand what Miss La Sesi being the third candidate had to do with Luweiya wanting to kill her; the two sides didn't look like they had a conflict either.

This time it wasn't the "Chosen One of Death," and death didn't represent anything in the Chosen One ritual.

"Yes, I will kill you with my own hands. Before sunset tomorrow, I must complete this matter. If Schluch Lake gets there first, you know what will happen."

"And what does this have to do with Schluch Lake?"

Xia De had more questions in his heart, but he could only continue to listen to their conversation. But after that, there was a not-so-short silence. Miss La Sesi looked at the galaxy that seemed within reach:

"So, how are you going to kill me?"

"With a blade to slice open your snow-white neck. Your admirers in the theater will probably feel very heartbroken at this scene."

Luweiya said simply, and added:

"I must do this."

Xia De knew very well that whenever Luweiya used such a sentence structure, it meant that she was also convincing herself. Xia De was really familiar with her.

Miss La Sesi nodded, as if the topic being discussed was not her life or death:

"The scenery here is truly beautiful. In the future, I really hope there is still a chance to come here, in front of the Temple of the Moon Ancient God, to watch this scenery. I have lived in Randel Valley for so long, and I never knew there was such a view."

"This place is indeed very hidden. Even that demon cannot guess what is actually here."

Luweiya's voice was a bit low. She hugged her chest with both hands, and her brown long hair was blown backward by the night wind. Although the movement was very dashing, Xia De knew this was her posture to express her insecurity:

"The gold mine beneath our feet represents more than just wealth... The Butterfly family's tomb is here, that passage is here, the ancient god's temple is here, and even the statue of the God of Space is here..."

Xia De's brain was still guessing the connection between Schluch Lake and the Chosen One. Hearing this, he was stunned:

"What did she say?"

【I have already recorded it, you can analyze it slowly later.】

"What a special place. So, Luweiya, are you going to kill me here?"

Miss La Sesi's voice was as light as the wind at this time. Starlight and moonlight shone on the faces and bodies of the two girls. They were both beautiful.

"Yes, in the center of the ritual base array behind us."

Which was the position where Xia De was standing at this time.

"This place has extremely special mystical significance. Souls deprived of life here will receive the blessing of the Dark Moon. This is the best location to take your life. Afterward, you will go with me to the outside of Schluch Lake Manor, and in that moon-worship ruin, complete your destiny, Xilisi... the Earth's Chosen One."

Xia De felt that he had heard even more incredible information:

"Killing Miss La Sesi is a step for her to become the Chosen One? Wait, she is the third candidate, what happened to the first two candidates now? Also, are they really talking about the Earth's Chosen One?"

Xia De suspected that this was Mid-Hill Castle, but the surrounding scenery was undoubtedly Randel Valley. Thus, among all his guesses, the most unbelievable one seemed to be correct.

Miss La Sesi dangled her legs, supported her body with her hands, and looked up at the starry sky:

"The second Chosen One, the Earth's Chosen One... Destiny is truly interesting, isn't it? Luweiya, you witnessed the destiny of the first Chosen One, the Silver Moon Chosen One. What exactly have you learned from this?"

"My destiny, and my sublimation words—the initial silver moon points to the final direction. What I have to do is to point to the final direction for this world."

Luweiya's voice was very light, and Xia De also learned from this that the order in which the Chosen Ones appeared in the last Sixth Era was completely different from this time.

"I have known you for so long, you always have your own secrets. So, you chose here, also because of what?"

Miss La Sesi asked again, and the wind also brushed her hair, but because the golden long hair was braided into a beautiful and complex hairstyle, it just swayed in the night wind.

The backs of the two girls were so beautiful, no one would have thought that one of them was planning to take the life of the other:

"I want to complete a ritual and leave an item here. This will ensure that even if I fail, there will be a chance to turn the tables next time."

Luweiya hesitated for a moment, and the hand she had been clenching opened. Xia De leaned his head to look over, and was even more surprised to see that it was a black wooden key.

He thought that he shouldn't be more surprised than this tonight:

"Alright, so it's here! Wait, this is not my time point, how do I get it?"

"Time Key? Why is it black? It seems... withered."

Miss La Sesi finally turned her head, looked up slightly at her hand, and a look of doubt appeared on her face.

"Yes, withered, because this represents the five periods of history that everyone has forgotten, that is the erased history."

The Sixth Era Xia De was in was the seventh time. In this way, this period of history was the sixth Sixth Era, which was the last time.

"Everyone has forgotten, only I remember. You are the current High Priestess of the 【Forgotten Cult】, you should understand better that memory itself is a kind of power for a Ring Mage.

The location we are in, this extremely special location in the material world, gathers the power of the 【Sage of the Silver Moon】 who possesses the 'Recorder' power, the 【Mother of Earth】 who possesses the 'Memory' power, and this key is infected by the power of 【Crawling Darkness】 who possesses the 'History' power, and it is itself a Time Key of the 【Father of Infinite Tree】 who possesses the 'Time' power, plus the statue of the ancient god 【Primordial Crack】 who possesses the power of 'Fracture and Connection' is also here... Among the thirteen ancient gods, all the gods who can help me pass on this history and memory have gathered their power here..."

Luweiya looked at Miss La Sesi, her purple eyes flashing with transparent brilliance in the night:

"I want to use killing you—the last High Priestess of the Old God 【Forgotten Elder】 who manages memory, the physical body before the future Earth's Chosen One dies—as a sacrificial ritual to split a part of this key into seeds and hide them deep in this land. This is a very ancient ritual, knowledge I read from the tree patterns of the withered main trunk of the World Tree. That was... a long time ago. And after a long, long, long time, someone will eventually extract it from this land and turn it into another withered black Time Key. And my low-ring sublimation words 'The initial silver moon points to the final direction', if I want to use it with full power, it is related to this key."

Miss La Sesi looked at her in surprise:

"You are still as terrifying as before. Killing me has so many purposes. How many more plans do you have... wait, the strange ritual you asked me to cooperate with two years ago was to extract the key in your hand?"

Luweiya curled her lips, revealing a cold smile that Xia De had never seen before:

"Yes, only I knew that this key was here."

Although this smile was strange, Xia De still liked it very much. ===== CHAPTER 1292 =====
