Chapter 1731

Because Xia De had previously come into contact with Sister Daifulin's dark golden scythe, he did not feel surprised by Yi Yi Yi Lu Na's actions. Unexpectedly, after Luweiya tried it, her palm passed directly through the middle of the scales.

"As expected, these scales are essentially a product of the combination of a part of Yi Yi Yi Lu Na's soul and the ancient power of the Old God; naturally, I cannot touch them."

While Xia De felt suspicious in his heart, Luweiya nodded:

"Yi Yi Yi Lu Na, let these scales float above my head; do not resist my mental power when I touch them."

【Because of your divinity, you can touch things related to the Old Gods.】

"I was thinking the same thing."

Xia De quickly sketched out the ritual, thought for a moment, and then manifested the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 to hand to the purple-eyed girl. Yi Yi Yi Lu Na had heard that Xia De had acquired another weapon no less inferior to 【Night Watcher】, so she only took a curious look. While Xia De bent down to pick up the cat that had wandered into the room, she let the scales, which symbolized the Chosen One of Balance, float above Luweiya's head.

"Do you need to use the Philosopher's Stone to assist with the ritual?"

Xia De asked again, pulling out the silver pendant from his chest; the pendant was inlaid with the Philosopher's Stone he had obtained from the mirror demon—Gede:

"Adding this to the ritual should enhance its effect."

"Xia De, I am not trying to divine the future and truth of the world; there is no need to be so extravagant."

Luweiya declined Xia De's suggestion, and Yi Yi Yi Lu Na also smiled, wanting to say a few words. Then, to everyone's surprise, little Mia, who was being held by Xia De, suddenly poked her head out and bit toward the red stone with her mouth open.

"Mia..."

But fortunately, this cat, which never made Xia De angry, did not swallow the precious alchemical material in his hand this time. Although the cat opened its mouth, it only stuck out its tongue to lick the stone, then went "Meow~" and looked at it with bright eyes. It didn't look like it wanted to eat it, nor did it look like it was uninterested.

Xia De was truly frightened; he quickly put the Philosopher's Stone away and decided that he should take out such things that were easily mistaken for food by little Mia less often in the future.

Then it was time for business. Luweiya stood in the center of the ritual base on the ground, holding the black staff in her left hand, surrounded by patterns of the sun, moon, and stars. The dark golden scales above her head emitted a faint light, as if sprinkling light spots onto her. She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, slightly raised the long staff in her left hand, and then struck the ground with it. The ritual base, which had originally shown no reaction, actually lit up with a faint light.

At this time, all the curtains in the room were drawn tight. In the pitch-black room, there was only the light from the ritual base on the ground and the dark golden scales. Luweiya slightly raised her right hand, and the five coins placed at her feet rose into the air together.

One of the 【Wraith Iron Coins】 and one of the 【Homeland Coins】 flew in front of Xia De and were caught by him. Then, Luweiya flicked away the remaining three coins in sequence.

When the coins rotated and rose into the air, they emitted a buzzing vibration sound. After the first coin reached its highest point, it actually stopped rotating at that height until all three coins had flown to that position and then fell together.

Mottled rust appeared on the metal surface and continued to spread as they fell, until the entire coin was corroded.

The fly ash dissipated in the air, and Luweiya, who opened her eyes, had a charming and seductive purple radiance in them. "How is it?"

"There is a result."

After tidying up the room, the three returned to the second floor. Luweiya took a sip of tea and told them the result of this divination:

"It's not bad. At least the biggest question has been cleared up: who exactly is the first candidate for the Chosen One of Space this time. Laplace Klein Howard did not lie, at least not completely. He is indeed related to the first Chosen One, and the number of first Chosen Ones is actually more than 10 individuals." Yi Yi Yi Lu Na glanced at Xia De:

"Besides that diviner himself, how many Edwards family members are still alive?"

"That tentacle man of unknown identity, the two witches of the fifth generation, the Folen brothers of the sixth generation, the brothers of the Mirror Society, and the six Green siblings."

Xia De replied:

"Counting that diviner, all the living ones add up to exactly ten."

"Luweiya said it was more than ten people, which means greater than ten. So, does this combination include dead people? Like the little girl Last Edwards that Xia De mentioned?"

Yi Yi Yi Lu Na asked Luweiya again, and Luweiya nodded:

"Including Last Edwards, that makes 11 people. Since it can include one dead person, it means it may include more dead people. Do you remember the family genealogy that Xia De mentioned?"

Xia De then reached out and took the large book with transparent starry sky colors from the air, handing it to Luweiya and Yi Yi Yi Lu Na respectively:

"One person in the first generation, two people in the second generation, and so on. Added together, the total number of members flowing with the Edwards family bloodline is 1+2+3+4+5+6=21 people. The deceased of the second and third generations are buried on the island. Later, the Edwards family declined, and Green Lake Town was abandoned, so the deceased of the fourth and fifth generations were each buried in different places."

Yi Yi Yi Lu Na took a deep breath:

"Not to mention those buried on the island, so, is this root genealogy some kind of large-scale ritual? The Edwards family, rooted in the central island of Green Lake, has spent hundreds of years absorbing the island's nutrients to reproduce, while also deeply branding the family onto the island, finally becoming one on that island to achieve the ascension of mortals? If this picture really represents some kind of ritual or even a human alchemy chart, then aren't the corpses and souls of the two generations outside the island destined to return sooner or later... or, have they already returned?"

Luweiya and Xia De looked at each other:

"If this picture represents the ritual of the Chosen One of Space as Laplace

Klein Howard believes, then I suspect that the bodies of the deceased of the fourth and fifth generations are no longer in their graves. This is not something that happened recently; it is even possible that the Edwards who left the island have never left the sight of their ancestors."

Yi Yi Yi Lu Na had a look of shock on her face. That genealogy, which looked like roots rooted in the ground, seemed more and more terrifying to her:

"Six generations, nearly three hundred years of time, just to become one and achieve the status of the Chosen One... Although we have experienced so many things, this still surprises me. Laplace Klein Howard, what exactly did he see back then?"

"According to the current investigation by the society, it is very likely that the evil object 【Bottle Gate】 came into contact with him before he defected from the society. He listened to the so-called 'truth' and was convinced of it."

Luweiya had a melancholy look on her face:

"But did he foresee the future and breed the mysterious Edwards family, or did the destined future fool him, making him destined to become the starting point of the family? Fate and time, these are things that need to be feared."

The girl who had destroyed the integrity of time several times said, and she made a request to Xia De:

"It's not too late tonight; you should go to Green Lake tomorrow to confirm whether the bones of the deceased of the fourth and fifth generations are still there."

"No problem, but I can't contact that pair of brothers from the 【Mirror Society】, and the bones of the Folen brothers of the 【Rose Cross Society】 and the elders of the witches are all in other places, which will take time to confirm. Tomorrow I can only go to check the situation of the elders of the Green siblings first."

Luweiya nodded:

"It doesn't matter. Only the bones of one root are gone; the others are probably gone too. Although the situation of the Chosen One this time is more troublesome, there are also benefits. As long as we can ensure that one of them does not return to the family, we can ensure that the Chosen One ritual cannot be held."

This sentence was right, but no matter who needs to be protected, I am afraid that in the end, we will have to face Laplace Klein

Howard head-on. And hiding now makes no sense; they are bound to return. This is not only the prophecy of a thirteen-ring diviner, but also the fate of the Chosen One.

"I want to express my opinion." Yi Yi Yi Lu Na suddenly said:

"Just as we don't want Ivan Darkness and Joey Barton to become the Chosen One, this time, we must also stop Laplace Klein Howard from becoming the Chosen One."

"That goes without saying." Xia De nodded:

"I don't think he looks like he wants to peacefully accommodate his descendants, but rather wants to devour his own bloodline. Such a person is too dangerous. But defeating him and sending him to death is not easy. Let's discuss it when you arrive in the Green Lake area."

Yi Yi Yi Lu Na nodded, and the three talked a few more words about the Edwards family before Yi Yi Yi Lu Na asked Luweiya:

"Besides the first in line, Luweiya, did you divine any other content?"

After all, three coins were consumed this time. The purple-eyed girl nodded:

"This is my first attempt to directly divine the situation of the Chosen One, and I can do so because the situation of the Chosen One this time is special. There are two more pieces of information: first, the subsequent candidates are also becoming one, and a component of a certain order includes members of the Edwards family."

"It is understandable, and this also symbolizes that the subsequent order of the Chosen One is actually inextricably linked to the first candidate."

Xia De said, and then thought of Princess Lei Qianya and Duo Luo Xi. He could almost confirm that they would definitely be involved in this matter, but so far there was no information pointing to them, and the two of them hadn't even thought about going to the Green Lake area in the near future.

"Second, the subsequent candidates are related to the Old God - Twin Gods."

After Luweiya finished speaking, she and Yi Yi Yi Lu Na looked at Xia De together, and then they saw Xia De's sighing expression as expected.

The Old God - Twin Gods, also known as the guardians of twins. At the end of the banquet of the Blood God in the distant Fifth Era, that blood-loving vampire duke pointed the way for Helen and Grace to seek shelter from the 【Twin Gods】.

Now that Old God has long since gone, and its believers have long since disappeared. What is certain is that the power of the Old God - Twin Gods has a lot to do with the Old God 【Primordial Crack】, and its holy emblem is a butterfly. As for Grace and Helen now, it is no exaggeration to call them "God's Chosen of the Twin Gods".

In the 【Past】 time without Xia De, Grace and Helen likely died at the end of the Battle of Sikar and were taken away by the Blood God, so the Chosen One of Space in the 【Past - Sixth Era】 is likely unrelated to them. It's just that Xia De's appearance has indeed changed the order of the appearance of the Chosen One—in the past, the long-haired Luweiya and Xilisi chatted in the Night Temple and mentioned that the Chosen One of Earth was the second one.

In other words, in the "Present World" where the Outsider appears,

the poem is very likely to point directly to the red butterfly sisters who are still alive and in very good condition. And involving them in the fate of the Chosen One is something Xia De has been trying his best to avoid.
