Chapter 3622: Oracle Square and Saint's Cliff
The black-haired, blue-eyed girl asked Xi Wei curiously:
"Since you know this is your goal, what does it have to do with whether you are strong enough? Xia De doesn't just pick thirteenth-level witches to attack. Did he ever say to you, 'You are not thirteenth-level, so don't kiss me' or something like that?"
Xi Wei thought about that scene and couldn't help laughing:
"Of course not."
"Then what you should do now is not complain about yourself not being strong enough, but do more active things, right?"
Although she had lived in the Sixth Era for long enough, the ship girl still didn't understand the thoughts of the Great Witches of this era. If given enough time to Violet and Theresa in the Fifth Era, they would have succeeded long ago:
"I see that your relationship with Xia De is only one step away. Maybe it's time to step over."
Xi Wei Aurora stood there with her mouth pursed and didn't answer. No one knew what she was really thinking at this moment.
Because the Peace Church obtained information from Leigins Prishia, the local Peace Church invited Xia De this time. When Xia De and the witches appeared in the church meeting room, the 【Clown Troupe】 had also arrived, but the Prophet Association, which should have appeared earliest, hadn't arrived yet.
No one minded waiting for a while, and Xia De stood by the window of the meeting room looking at the falling snow outside, thinking of the past when he was weak, even with the title of "God-Caller," he didn't want to enter any church other than the Dawn Church in Tobesk.
After waiting for less than five minutes, President Lenorman and old man Charatu also arrived here. Thirteenth-ring warlock Annihilation Hand - Mr. Clark Cavill, who had just arrived locally for support, was responsible for receiving the three parties. Soon, three documents came into everyone's hands. Xia De flipped through them slightly. Although he knew in advance that this was information related to the Ring of Fate, he was still a bit surprised.
"The role of the upper spring is actually this?"
Through the interpretation of the ravings of the "Mad Omniscient," the Church believes that the "Upper Spring" that the Fatum people had long lost was located in the ruins on the top of the mountain. The true name of that spring eye could no longer be examined, but its true purpose was to let the user know their own fate.
"Not soaking in the spring water, nor drinking the spring water. Just walking over the spring eye and looking down at one's own reflection, one can see one's own fate, and then condense the Ring of Fate that belongs to oneself.
This is what the candidates should do after completing all seven acts of the story, and it is also the most important ritual for the ancient god believers in the Mythical Era. Without the Ring of Fate, one cannot participate in the competition of the final act. It's just that it is not yet known how to activate the power of that spring eye."
Mr. Cavill explained to everyone:
"But candidates need a Ring of Fate that matches their own fate. This is already a determined thing. Outside of the remaining three acts of the story, please pay attention to whether there are other ways to obtain the Ring of Fate. In addition, how to open the ruins on the top of the snow mountain, the Orthodox Church is also studying.
This is not urging, but the accident on Fatumunster Island is very dangerous, and time is very tight. Solving the things here as soon as possible is good for everyone."
"About the ruins on the top of the snow mountain, did Sir Prishia say anything else?"
Mr. Mortis asked on behalf of everyone, and Mr. Cavill nodded:
"The scale of that ruin is huge. In addition to the spring eye and the temple, there are sacrificial grounds, tomb groups, observatories, towers, roads of atonement, ring halls, etc. Even in the First Era, this place could be called a relatively large temple building complex in the material world.
According to the description of the 'Mad Omniscient', the entrance to the ruins is the Road of Atonement, and at the end of that ruin, which is also the highest point of the ruin—
【Pass through three arches, cross the towering Ten Thousand Elephant Tower, at the end of the Oracle Square, that is the highest point of the towering snow mountain, the final destination of the knowers. Fall, fall, only those who fall from a high place can see the truth, that is 'Saint's Cliff'.】"
Mr. Cavill paused, giving everyone time to think, and the word "fall" immediately aroused Xia De's reaction. He had seen the method of obtaining the high-ring sublimation language from the "Ice Jade" of the Fatum people, and that method was to fall from a certain place on the snow mountain.
"In fact, the currently known highest peak of the snow mountain is a platform similar to a cliff."
Xia De opened his mouth cautiously:
"I once climbed there under the guidance of the Fatum people, and the end of the All Souls Festival ritual is also there, but I can't perceive any problems."
"So the Church wants to cooperate with the Fatum people to explore the Peak of Fate of the snow mountain again. We respect the Fatum people's ownership of the snow mountain and their belief in it, but time is really running out now."
Mr. Cavill said, Claire didn't speak, so Xia De answered on her behalf:
"I will discuss this matter with the Great Elders later. The Fatum people are also very concerned about the safety of the island."
He finished speaking and asked again:
"The end of this Chosen One ritual should be in that ruin. In the past, everyone thought it was the temple. Now it seems, is it possible that it is in other locations of the ruins? That ritual, won't it be asking the candidates to jump off a cliff?"
President Lenorman immediately denied Xia De's idea:
"In the First Era, the gods had not yet left, and mortals were very cautious about the use of the word 'Saint'. If that cliff is really called 'Saint's Cliff', then it definitely wouldn't be used by mortals, at least not by anyone other than the true Chosen One.
The information given by Leigins Prishia also said that adjacent to Saint's Cliff is the Oracle Square, where mortals receive oracles, and according to the materials circulated by the association, the Oracle Square also likely undertakes the role of summoning the ancient gods to descend. Being close to the Oracle Square but higher than its position only shows that Saint's Cliff is very closely connected to the gods, and has little to do with this Chosen One ritual."
The prophets' explanation is very reasonable, and for the venue of the Chosen One ritual, they also have their own views:
"The key poem fragment that points to the specific location now doesn't know who is in whose hands, but we believe that since the final act after the seven acts of the story is related to Mr. Snake, then the ritual location is likely to be in a position that can touch the seal of the snow mountain."
"But isn't the seal of the ancient gods at the bottom of the snow mountain?"
The "Mask Prophet" beside Mr. Mortis asked, and President Lenorman nodded:
"But Mr. Snake, who has not completely broken free from the
"But Mr. Snake, who has not yet completely broken free from the seal, being able to appear in the temple itself shows that the seal is related to those ruins. The most likely location for the ritual is either the temple, the sacrificial grounds, or the Ring Hall."
"Speaking of which, what is this Ring Hall used for?"
Xia De asked again, and Mr. Kaweier answered him:
"That is where the ancient diviners performed divination; it is the area with the strongest spirituality in the entire sacrificial grounds."
"In fact, the name 'Ring Hall' has continued to the modern era and still exists. Currently, the most important divination hall at the Association headquarters is called the Ring Hall. We retain some records of the ancient Ring Hall; it is rumored that the dome of the hall reflects the real starry sky, while the holy emblem of the Ouroboros is coiled in the center. Thousands of glowing rings float under the starry sky, and ancient diviners would gather under that starry sky to peer into fate and interpret the future."
President Lenorman added:
"If this description is correct, those thousands of rings should all be Rings of Fate."
"The Ring Hall, is it? Even if Laijinsi Pulinxia failed, he still had such omniscience. It seems that holding the ritual did have an impact after all. Xia De, the information is complete enough now, so I am going to begin."
Two hours later, on the *Radiance Messenger*, Luweiya raised her eyebrows at the news Xia De had gathered from the church. She reached out and took the two coins—Document-level relics 【Cold Heart】—that Xia De handed her, but ultimately only intended to use one of them.
But before flipping the coin, she smiled and extended her right hand to Xia De:
"Where is my 【Fate Pedestal】?"
At this time, Xia De had been back from the city for an hour. What he wanted Luweiya to divine was not the "Ring Hall," but the specific location of the ruins.
The ruins not only involved the location of the Chosen One's ritual but also the cliff Xia De was concerned about; he even suspected that the First Fire and the castle key were there as well.
The latter was actually just his guess, but if the ruins maintained the seal, then the First Fire, as a part of the seal, was very likely to be there.
Xia De had already brought the Fate Pedestal, but seeing Luweiya's slightly excited appearance, he thought that after using it this time, he should return it to his home immediately.
Thus, the "Ring" was pulled open again, and a pale purple halo stained the surrounding space. The coin was tossed high by Luweiya, then shattered into purple light trails and disappeared.
For a brief moment, Xia De felt that Luweiya's temperament before him was very close to the long-haired girl in his dreams. But when she opened her eyes, Xia De was very certain that the girl before him was not lonely at all.
She hesitated, seemingly unsure of the result she had obtained:
"Yes, the information provided by that mad omniscient one is correct, and the church's interpretation is also correct. The temple is only a part of the ruins; the temple suppresses the seal at the bottom of the mountain, so after the snake's power leaked, it first affected the temple, but for now, it can only affect the temple."
The two were now in Xia De's room on the ship, which was the most luxurious room on the entire ship—the very room where Xia De had painted Miss Yi Luna's portrait back then.
Xia De sat on the side of the sofa, while Luweiya sat on the long sofa. After finishing the content above, she patted the space beside her, and Xia De sat over there tactfully.
