Chapter 3455: Enlightenment - Audience
There was no longer any path at the end of the snow slope; ahead lay the snow mountain scenery under the starry night.
And where she stood now was a towering mountain ridge like a silver thread. The ridge, like a winding silver snake, stretched for several miles to the left and right until it disappeared into the darkness. The wind blew constantly from the direction outside the ridge, and the wind drove the snowflakes under her feet, rolling like silver-white sand under Luvia's boots.
And on this snow mountain ridge, which stretched like a silver thread, countless treasures from different eras lay quietly in the snow, reflecting the starlight of this moment.
The starry sky seemed within reach at this moment. Luvia's shoulder-length hair, as she stood on the ridge, was blown and swayed, her long dress rustled in the wind and snow, and at this moment under the starlight, she felt her whole body and mind relax.
The starry sky was right above her head, and beneath her feet were boundless white mountains. The world seemed to be completely compressed in front of her, and she herself, at this moment, seemed to have seen the entire world.
The end of the pilgrimage was not important to the pilgrims; the pilgrims of Fate cared more about the process. But at the end, this path from ancient times still treated them with such scenery.
And so, Luvia, who was also a professional diviner and also longed to know and resist Fate, clearly perceived the feelings of every pilgrim who had come here.
She looked at everything in front of her, then opened her arms, tilted her head, and squinted her eyes, letting the wind and snow blow against her cheeks. The snowflakes swirled behind her until the rolling white snow grains formed the shape of a ring, and thus the Fate Ring surged out, carrying steam and mist.
At this moment, all the treasures on the silver "sandy ground" beneath her feet bloomed with their own brilliance. The insights left behind by predecessors after the end of their pilgrimages also became the harvest for her, who was in the new era.
The long-haired Luvia and the shoulder-length Luvia overlapped at this moment. The golden elements of miracle, the silver elements of blasphemy, the brass-colored elements of enlightenment, and the black-iron elements of whispers all gathered toward her Fate Ring. The "Noble Fate" shared with Xia De appeared on the back of her right hand. That hand was held high toward the starry sky to prove her identity. The starlight shone on her at this moment, the snowflakes danced around her, and the Fatumont Snow Mountain seemed to be calling her name at this moment.
The word "seemed" was actually not accurate, because the mountains were truly calling her name at this moment. Xia De, who was climbing the mountain and walking the maze, the elders and Claire in the small town, and Emilia, who was frustrated in the snow because she was lost and Ellie had gone missing—they all heard this name.
The snow mountain that had once descended with Fate now sensed that supreme Fate again. Even if spurned by time, Luvia Fiochi Anate was still the first candidate for the Chosen of Fate, and always would be—
After all, she had truly performed the most brilliant play for this world. Even now, when this play had been re-enacted for the seventh time, she had brought that "outside of Fate" who made the drama even more wonderful.
Noble purple covered her Fate Ring, and the purple halo in her eyes could almost disperse all the clouds in the night sky. The wind played for her, the snow danced for her, the threads of Fate wove a noble robe, and the echo of destiny proved that she was the eternal protagonist in Fate.
The wind brought a piece of snake skin from afar and flew toward her. The opportunity to obtain the status of "protagonist candidate" at this moment only required her to reach out her hand. The long-haired Luvia was suddenly a little dazed at this moment. She had reached out to take that piece of snake skin every time. She regarded this as the reward for completing the pilgrimage path. Accepting the status of the Chosen of Fate at the end of this path was the process she considered most appropriate.
But this time, Luvia opened her eyes and reached out to flick the air, and so the fluttering snake skin fell directly at her feet.
"No."
She explicitly refused, a sentence the long-haired Luvia had not expected:
"Although this is the first time I have come here, I always feel like I have been here many times."
She said to the silver-white snow mountain and the brilliant starry sky:
"But only this time did I feel that I had truly completed the pilgrimage path of Fate."
Countless treasures left by generations of pilgrims lay in the snow beneath her feet. This time, she came without any utilitarianism, and this time she hadn't even truly participated in anything on Fatumont Island. And so, Luvia, who had completed this path purely as a "diviner," completely understood the thoughts of the pilgrims of past generations. She even understood the thoughts of the "traitorous predecessor" of the association from hundreds of years ago when he ascended here:
"The end of this path was never about obtaining anything. Although I only walked onto this pilgrim's path from the seaside tonight, I feel that I have actually been walking on this pilgrim's path for a very, very long time."
The voice at this moment came only from the shoulder-length Luvia, but the long-haired Luvia beside her also revealed a smile. She looked at herself with great appreciation, and she also understood:
"I have even forgotten what I looked like when I first set out, but having walked such a long road, now I can be sure that this time I have finally reached the end just like them."
She looked down at the blank snake skin at her feet. The long-haired Luvia was smiling from the heart. Such a simple truth, she only understood it after pushing everything onto Xia De:
"I am a diviner; I should have been outside the story and outside the card game to better appreciate the story. What is important is not obtaining, but knowing what to give up after walking this pilgrimage path. The predecessors all knew that they had to give up some things, and now I finally understand too. So this time—"
She said to the snow mountain and the starry sky:
"What I give up is the qualification of the Chosen of Fate. Even if I am not the Chosen, I am still born noble; even without the power of Mr. Ring, I am still the strongest diviner of this era, and still the strongest before the end of the world."
The four-colored spiritual light of gold, silver, copper, and iron forged four-colored spiritual runes, but the four-colored spiritual runes all collapsed when she declared that she was giving up her status.
Those collapsed spiritual lights collided and combined, and amidst the tide of elements with abnormal undulations in the snow mountain, a spiritual rune was finally left on her Fate Ring that she had never possessed in the past several Sixth Eras—
Enlightenment - Audience.
The long-haired Luvia's wanton and frantic laughter resounded through the entire Fatumont Snow Mountain at this moment. The gale stirred the wind and snow wantonly with her swaying arms, and the light of that exceptionally shining spiritual rune suppressed the spiritual light of all the relics, divine art items, and alchemical items on the entire silver-white ridge at this moment.
The daughter of destruction of time and space, who traversed time, mastered Fate, and restarted the world, finally jumped off the stage at this moment and sat in her own audience seat. The power and status she had once sought but could not obtain finally came into her hands at the end of this pilgrimage path that spanned seven whole eras.
The shoulder-length Luvia was rejoicing that she had more power to help Xia De, while the long-haired girl felt empty:
"Now I am completely hidden behind time, space, and Fate. Even if Adele wants to find me again, she won't be able to... but this time she and I are not in a hostile relationship."
At this moment, she felt something pulling at her from behind. Turning around, she saw that Ellie, the unicorn with beautiful blue eyes, had actually walked behind her at some point and was biting her skirt to make the joyful girl notice her.
Luvia then smiled and stroked its head:
"Lost Emilia, right? It's okay, I'll take you to find her in a while."
She didn't even look at the various treasures scattered on the snow or the piece of snake skin. She wanted to ride Ellie and leave here to find Xia De and share her joy. At this moment, she felt a little regretful that she was not a witch; otherwise, she wouldn't have to go to the guest room to sleep tonight because of physical reasons.
But the joy in her heart came to an abrupt end at this moment. Luvia, who was preparing to turn over and ride the unicorn, froze and quickly turned her head to look at the direction outside the ridge she had just been looking at. Ellie lay down in the snow, burying her head in the snow pile and shivering.
In the void outside that towering silver-white ridge, in that darkness where the starlight was distorted and the wind and snow had completely stopped, an indescribable gaze was staring at Luvia, whose purple eyes had not yet faded.
The terrifying gaze in the void met Luvia's eyes. Luvia immediately felt a stinging pain in her eyes. Closing her eyes and retreating subconsciously, she stumbled and fell into the snow.
And so, the long-haired girl with a serious face walked out of the void and stood beside her. She could not believe that the evil god was actually looking at her at this moment:
"This didn't happen before."
The gaze projected by the god from a high dimension affected everything around it from the level of world rules. The most intuitive change was that the fluttering snowflakes turned pitch black. All the items scattered on this silver-white ridge, except for a few, only had items containing blasphemous elements still shining with spiritual light.
The four elements that were originally active simultaneously in the Fatumont Snow Mountain area now only had the blasphemous elements still active. The silver-white blasphemous spiritual light poured toward Luvia like a tide, which manifested on the reality level as black mist surging toward them from the outside of the ridge.
Luvia, who had fallen into the snow, could no longer open her eyes at this moment. Ellie, who was shivering with fright, covered her body with her head to protect her.
But in this way, the "timid" unicorn could not protect its own head, but its pair of azure eyes saw the long-haired Luvia, whose body was illusory, raise her right hand with a serious face.
The spiritual light of miracle bloomed in her palm like the sun, and so the tide-like blasphemous elements flowed past their sides like a divided ocean. Gold and silver collided, and the anomalies caused by the abnormal elements made space appear to fluctuate violently like boiling water. Her body became more and more transparent, but those purple eyes seemed to have turned into substance at this moment.
"Did I finally gain the qualification to attract the gaze of a god before the end of the world?" ===== CHAPTER 3456 =====
