Chapter 1972

By the time Xia De returned home from Randall Valley with two Red Butterfly Cards, it was almost lunch time. He saw Luweiya and Iluna's shoes in the foyer and knew they had returned.

Sure enough, when he arrived on the second floor and entered the door, he saw Luweiya and Iluna chatting on the sofa, while Little Mia was lying on the windowsill sunbathing as usual.

"Welcome home!"

Xia De opened his arms and hugged the two girls respectively. The three reunited in St. Deran Square after a long time, and Xia De was also very happy in his heart.

Iluna and Luweiya had already asked for leave from the church and the Prophet Association respectively. Just returning to Tobesk City, they had some private matters to deal with, so they didn't need to go to work all day today.

Xia De then went to a restaurant on Silver Cross Avenue to order lunch and had the restaurant send the lunch directly to his home.

Because it was a home dinner, they could be casual. During lunch, they talked about many things. Iluna showed her life ring, which was now at the eighth ring, and told the two about the new power she had obtained:

"When promoted, because of the 'two-in-one' after merging with Xia De, I was promoted to the eighth ring. Xia De's soul is very warm..."

She was still a little embarrassed when she said this, but seeing that Luweiya didn't react, she continued to introduce:

"Later, Xia De merged with me and the Chosen One of Space to repair the time-space vortex in the sky. During this period, I came into contact with the essence of the composite soul that had just become the Chosen One, so I got an extra spiritual rune 【Distorted Space】."

Saying this, she also demonstrated her newly acquired skills to the two. She didn't suddenly learn the power of space movement like "Lagley's Jump", but another strange ability:

"Look."

Her left hand and right hand stretched out their thumbs and index fingers respectively, and the four fingers were joined into a rectangle. Then her eyes looked at the fork in Xia De's plate through the frame formed by her fingers. The fork disappeared out of thin air and then appeared in Iluna's hand:

"As long as I can see items in this way, I can get them. Currently, it can only be objects without souls, but I can feel that with my promotion, I will be able to grab living people like this in the future. This doesn't count as sorcery, it counts as... talent? Oh, just like before, I don't understand either."

"The Mirror Association also has similar abilities, but there is a difference from your power. You can learn curses like 'Eagle Eye', so you can get some things that are inconvenient to take directly from thousands of meters away."

Xia De thought this skill was quite useful.

Luweiya thought for a while:

"I remember after the story of the Dark Chosen One, the skill you got was..."

"Dark Vortex."

The vortex appeared in front of Iluna. She reached through the vortex, and her right arm appeared on the side of Xia De, putting his fork back:

"Dark Vortex is the power of darkness. Although it behaves like space, its essence is completely different. But with the new spiritual rune, maybe I can try to learn other space powers... I don't know if I have such talent. I heard this is very difficult."

Xia De and Luweiya both laughed, and Xia De even said:

"Laplace Howard left me many books, and there is a lot of information about space-type sorcery in them. Iluna, you have also touched the ancient god statue in the basement of the Green Lake Hotel. When you have time, you can go to the Edwards old house to read books."

"Reading books..."

Iluna shook her head in distress, put away her life ring, and then concentrated on dealing with the stew on her plate. Xia De said to Luweiya again:

"Speaking of those books, Luweiya, I asked Megan to help organize them and move those books about astrology and divination to 6 St. Deran Square. These books are all for you. My understanding of astrology and divination is limited to the surface. Oh, there is an extra room on the third floor, you can put those books there, just opposite your astrology room."

They didn't know about the extra room on the third floor, so they listened to Xia De's brief introduction. Later, Luweiya also showed her life ring. She is now at the seventh ring:

"I was promoted on the way back. No, I didn't prepare for the promotion ceremony, it was... I had a strange dream. I don't remember what I dreamed of, it seems like I was wearing different clothes, commenting on my own life or something. But after waking up, I was already at the seventh ring. Oh, how do I explain this to the association?"

Although there was a distressed expression on her face, this was definitely a happy distress. Luweiya guides the Chosen One and witnesses the Chosen One, and will benefit from it. Xia De guessed that this was because she guided or broke the established fate, so she got the reverse force of fate.

But now she and Xia De are both at the seventh ring. This level in the material world can be called a decent combat power.

"I am also at the seventh ring now, so there is no need to introduce this, you were all there that day. Since Iluna is already at the eighth ring, then the sublimation language of the middle ring is only missing the last spiritual rune, right?"

Xia De asked again.

Iluna put down her knife and fork and nodded gently. She was exceptionally elegant when eating, which seemed to be something she learned when training in the church:

"My middle-ring sublimation language, 【Fool】 of 【Dancing】 【Thunder】, will surely 【Tear Apart】 the 【Poem】 of fate. The core spiritual rune is 【Thunder】, and now only 【Fool】 is missing. In fact, 【Fate】 and 【Poem】 only need one of them. Different combination methods will lead to different sublimation ceremonies, and the final form of the sublimation language is also different, which is similar to my low-ring sublimation language."

Iluna's low-ring sublimation language is "【Hero】 of 【Chasing】 【Light】, will eventually 【Break Free】 from the 【Shackles】 of fate", in which 【Fate】 and 【Shackles】 are chosen from two, and Iluna chose shackles.

That is to say, Iluna had two chances to choose "Fate" but didn't choose it, and chose "Poem" again when discarding "Fate" in the middle ring.

"【Fool】 ah, maybe I can help, but this spiritual rune is indeed not simple."

Luweiya said from the side, and Xia De thought of her middle-ring sublimation language again: "Writing the poem of fate in whispers".

"One is 'writing the poem of fate', one is 'tearing apart the poem of fate'."

Xia De thought silently in his heart, not quite sure if this represented anything.

After lunch, the servants of the Golden October Restaurant came to clean up the table and recycle the tableware. Before they left, Xia De didn't forget to remind them of the dinner delivery time.

"This time I spent my own money, not on the account of Lei Qianya or Miss Jia Lin Na. There is a large amount of property in the Edwards old house, which I hold together with Megan and Audrey. As for the Folen brothers and the Edwards brothers... with Megan and Audrey, these two elders, naturally there is no share for them. This was given to me by Laplace Howard himself, I am not that generous. And most of that property is not easy to sell, so Megan said, if I need money, I can ask her to withdraw it... why does it feel a bit wrong?"

Xia De asked suspiciously, and the purple-eyed girl naturally laughed. As for the dinner in the evening, it was to make up for Iluna's birthday party. When he went out at noon, he even went to order a cake.

And since those properties were mentioned, Xia De didn't forget to tell them how many books, laboratories, and materials the diviner left behind. Just that small piece of "Philosopher's Stone" had already satisfied Xia De, not to mention other gains.

"I count as inheriting his fire, replacing him to continue moving forward."

"Moving forward, where to?"

Iluna asked puzzledly. The afternoon sun shone into the second-floor living room through the window. Xia De held the cat taking a nap and looked at them:

"The end of the world, yes, the end of the world that will surely come."

He said what he knew about this and the description of Laplace Howard.

Luweiya was not surprised at all:

"The end of the Whisper Poem will definitely have a big event. The end of the world? This answer is a bit cliché, but what does the Chosen One have to do with this?"

She didn't seem to worry about the world heading towards the end at all:

"We are already on the right path. The pursuit of the thirteen Chosen Ones has become more valuable. Witness their stories, let as many Chosen Ones as possible stand by our side, and then push open the last door. Balance, death, knowledge, earth, space... we will win everything."

Although Xia De was worried, even Iluna didn't worry about this:

"Luweiya is right!"

The eighteen-year-old girl believed that Xia De would definitely save this world, so there was no need to care about the end of the world at all. Just wait for Xia De to handle it or Xia De to ask her for help. And she was thinking about, after Xia De saved the world, she would save Xia De. She was still thinking about the secret words composed of five short phrases, and was thinking about how to find the "dead" things and then resurrect them.

She couldn't even make up her mind whether to ask Xia De and Luweiya. Although the five "guardians" didn't say anything, she still felt that it was best for only herself to know these secret words:

"But to make Xia De have the most intense feelings for me... should I ask Luweiya for help?"

Her thinking became more and more divergent, but she just didn't put it on the news of the end of the world.

Seeing that they were not very worried, Xia De also felt a little relieved:

"No matter what the future is, let's walk together. I will investigate all of this clearly, and there are more people preparing for the final end. Luweiya, Iluna, just as agreed at the beginning, we will move forward together until the end."

Luweiya asked with a smile:

"Should we do this?"

She stretched out her right hand, so Xia De put his hand on it. Iluna immediately reached out and put her hand on Xia De's hand, sandwiching him with Luweiya:

"Yes, until the end!"

The three said together, even if they knew about the end of the world, they would still support each other and continue to move forward. Just as Xia De said, this was agreed upon at the beginning.
