Chapter 3626

~10 min read 1,995 words

It sounded like this "Myriad Phenomena Tower" was a test venue used by "Mr. Ring's" Fate Sect to let mortals advance to demigods during the First Era. Xia De, who heard the function of this tower, even thought about whether he could enter it to try.

But he soon understood that his thoughts were still too simple.

"if" shook his head gently:

"What is inside the tower is not so-called parallel worlds. Even if the Tree Father leaves, the World Tree still runs through the past, present, and future, supporting the most basic order of time. This is more like a dream, revealing where those fates that were not chosen once would lead the world.

This is a high tower cast by the great power of the God of Fate; in the Mythological Era, only three existed."

He seemed to be a little nostalgic:

"Entering it, the one who walks out must be a demigod. And those who don't walk out are completely lost. Of course, these are all things before the old days."

Xia De felt he knew what the other party wanted to say:

"This tower is already damaged now?"

"Yes, too much time has passed, and the current era does not allow demigods to appear, and the power inside has become incomparably chaotic. Entering it, one cannot get any information, and what one sees will only be chaotic fate and meaningless scenes.

Since you put forward the view of 'parallel worlds,' then you should understand what kind of crazy consequences being lost in countless possibilities will lead to. Even the demigods of the Mythological Era and even the angels of the Ancient Gods would not try this high tower again. Entering the current Myriad Phenomena Tower and walking out, even the Chosen One of Fate who will be born in the future cannot do it."

"if" used his fingers to draw three intertwined rings in front of him. Xia De had seen this pattern not long ago; Laplace Howard had drawn it when talking about "Fate has three":

"In the entire material world, only you may be able to stop this high tower that has fallen into chaos. When you have obtained three Rings of Fate, please carry them and come here again; at this time you will be able to see the true environment inside the tower.

Walk all the way to the highest point, recover the power of the God of Fate that has not yet dissipated at the top of the tower, and completely end the mission of this high tower. Otherwise, once the shell of the high tower cannot restrain the power within, the problems this tower will cause will be even more terrifying than that snake."

"Power that has not yet dissipated..."

Xia De repeated suspiciously, but "if" did not express anything about this:

"Then please forgive my rash appearance this time, please continue to explore here; this lonely ruin has not had anyone come for a long time."

Hearing that he seemed to want to leave, Xia De immediately called him to stop:

"Please wait a moment, you appeared this time, just to tell me these things? I heard that you like to play 'if games' with people, letting people know what kind of fate other options in life will lead to... Don't you want to play with me?"

Xia De asked, but the man holding the parchment shook his head:

"You cannot participate in this game."

"Why?"

"There is no you in fate to begin with, and everything you do is creating a new future. For you, there is no brand-new fate caused by other possibilities; everything you do is the inevitability you chose yourself.

The fate others face is countless crossroads, while your front is barren, and the path you walk is the only fate.

Even if I unfolded the parchment in front of you at this moment, it would only write down your conversation with me at this moment. The past for you is what you opened up with your own hands; the present for you is the choice you made yourself; the future for you is the book page waiting for you to turn."

Xia De understood a little, but only understood that the other party really just appeared to remind him, and there was no malice.

"Just like you called me to stop at this moment, since things have happened, there is no possibility that you didn't call me to stop. Because if you didn't call me to stop, I wouldn't give this to you."

"if"'s fingers drew a glowing pure white ring in front of him. The "Fate Manual" unfolded again; this was the second Ring of Fate Xia De had seen today.

【Ring of Fate · Hope, this is the fate of actively anchoring the future in uncertainty.】

【Fate Interpretation: The story has not yet reached the end, so one can still step forward.】

【Utility: The holder of this fate will not stop stepping.】

This Ring of Fate did not amplify any of Xia De's abilities. Xia De thought this was a gift from "if" to himself, but didn't expect the other party to say:

"Please transfer this Ring of Fate to Iluna Miss Beiyasi."

"Iluna?"

Xia De put the ring into the pages of the big book beside him; he currently had no blank snake skin to contain fate:

"Why give this to her? Do you hope she holds this ring, or do you hope she casts it into a blade of fate?"

The man holding the parchment scroll shook his head:

"This is just a gift for her, with no purpose and no further guidance. For others besides you, the future fate is not immutable, but the strong will choose fate for themselves, such as Miss Iluna Miss Beiyasi. I look forward to what kind of changes will happen in the future because of this hope."

After saying these words, he looked at the "Fate Manual" beside Xia De again, revealed a slight smile, and then drew a golden light mark from the parchment in his hand and sent it into Xia De's book:

"This is the gift for you."

【Outsider, your wonder-art - Fate Manual has been enhanced.】

【New characteristic: The fates of people who have a profound fate connection with you will also appear in the book.】

"You..."

Xia De wanted to say something more, but "if" bowed respectfully to Xia De just like when he first appeared, then scattered into light spots all over the sky and disappeared into the mountaintop sunlight.

Xia De looked at the place where he disappeared, feeling that the other party's appearance was really inexplicable, but also feeling that the other party seemed to be waiting for his appearance.

"If the Myriad Phenomena Tower can only be solved by me, then in the past life, who handled the tower's problem?"

He thought in his heart, and after confirming that "if" had really left, he took out the 【Ring of Fate · Hope】 and played with it. After storing the ring back in the book, he reached out and turned the pages of the book.

In the past, when this book was turned, it would only repeat Xia De's information or stored fate, but this time, the pages behind appeared with detailed information about 【Luweiya Fiocchi Anate】, and even there was a character illustration of Luweiya in the upper left corner.

Name, gender, ring warlock level, current luck, relationship with Xia De, character profile, special abilities, wonder-art and spell list, these contents were displayed very detailedly.

And after Xia De continued to turn the pages, as expected, it was the illustration and data of 【Dorothy Louisa】, and the following pages were Iluna, Princess Lei Qianya, Miss Jia Lin Na, Grace and Helen, Megan, Vanessa, Silvia...

All the girls Xia De knew in the Sixth Era, including the Great Witch, witch apprentices, nuns, maid ladies, witch followers, etc., information was displayed here.

Besides them, friends Xia De knew such as Priest Ao Gusi, Doctor Shi Nai De, Guardian of the Earth, Mr. Bernhard, Coroner Mr. Albert, Major Lades, Joey Barton, and Marilyn Handel were also there.

Even information about Sparrow Hamilton who had already died, the Chosen One of Darkness Ivan Darkness, and the ancestor of the Edwards family Laplace Howard also appeared on the pages behind.

Of course, the more he turned back, the less information about the characters appeared, and the order of the information should be the closeness of the entanglement with Xia De's fate.

And everyone who appeared here had at least three basic pieces of information: "character illustration," "name," and "relationship with Xia De," among which the information of Luweiya, Dorothy, and Princess Lei Qianya at the very front was displayed most comprehensively.

"Character cards of other people have appeared, so if I meet an acquaintance on the road but forget the other party's name, I can just turn the book to find it."

The outsider thought to himself for fun, and "She" reminded gently:

【You can actually just ask me.】

Then Xia De found that the information of all the people in the Fifth Era who appeared in the book, whether they were witches with whom he had close relationships or friends he met during time adventures, was very simple.

Even Blainie Olandonod, who had the most intimate relationship with Xia De, only had some records of her past with Xia De in the Sixth Era in addition to the three basic pieces of information, and the amount of information was about the same as that of Xia De's neighbors, the old Smith couple.

"Are those in the Fifth Era not allowed to be seen?"

As for existences like Miss Ilise, Winnie, and the unicorn Ellie who spanned two eras, their information was a bit more, but compared to the girls who were truly born in the Sixth Era, the information was pitifully little.

"These character illustrations are all the people I have the deepest impression of in my memory... The power 'if' gave me is actually not seeing possibilities, but knowing the fate of others. What kind of relationship would he have with the Ancient God?"

But unfortunately, except for Grace and Helen, information about other relics did not appear here, not even "Desire":

"Actually, it's hard to say whether Grace and Helen count as relics now."

Although he was very interested in the contents of the book, time was limited after all, so Xia De suppressed his curiosity and just turned it roughly, then put away the wonder-art:

"So, without knowing it, I have already known so many people in this world. When I gather three Rings of Fate, I will come to the Myriad Phenomena Tower again. Will the power left by Mr. Ring be divinity?"

He thought in his heart, and looked up at the north of the platform at the highest peak of the mountain, which was also the only place he had not explored yet.

This mountaintop high platform was not a regular shape, generally long in the north-south direction and short in the east-west direction.

The "Oracle Plaza" in the center was a standard circle, its area extending towards the ruins on the east side was very small, and it had a slender area connected to the end of the snow slope in the south. The area where the "Myriad Phenomena Tower" in the east was located was higher than the "Oracle Plaza," after all, this high platform area also had a slope.

And the plaza also extended a slender area towards the north. When Xia De walked on it, he guessed that there should be a stone slab road under the snow surface.

And this road interrupted abruptly under Xia De's feet not long after. Only then did he realize that he had really reached the end of the cliff. The cliff protruded about two or three meters from the mountaintop platform, which didn't look very stable.
