Chapter 3696

"Fate is a double-edged sword. Many diviners in the First Era understood this truth, but knowing it does not mean truly understanding it.

However, the impermanence of fate means that anything is possible. If you wish to use the method of 'a single individual resonating with multiple rings' to deal with Mr. Snake, you can also search for possibilities that no one has ever discovered before... for example, perhaps there exists a unique kind of fate that allows the holder to borrow the fates of others. After all, no one knows what kind of brilliant and magnificent stories will yet appear on the stage."

Ms. White said, and then the snake head turned slightly to the right, looking into the distance where neither Xia De nor Yin Yi Yi Lu Na could see:

"Pollution has appeared on the snow mountain again. Let's end this meeting here; you may ask one last question.

I am afraid it will be a long time before we meet again. Before the seventh act, I had better not appear as frequently as this. Now that Mr. Snake's power has spread outside the temple, I must also be on guard against it. I have no intention of highlighting my own importance, but I absolutely cannot afford to have anything happen to me."

"You ask."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na yielded the opportunity to Xia De, but Xia De held down Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's shoulder, looking up at the white snake:

"Ms. White, you and I both have the ability to see through fate, and you see even more than I do. Then please help me take a look: does Yin Yi Yi Lu Na's fate have any unique aspects? I am not referring to the Ring of Fate she holds, nor her status as a Chosen, but rather, as the individual Yin Yi Yi Lu Na Beiya, does her fate have anything unique about it?"

The snake's pupils then looked at Yin Yi Yi Lu Na. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na was a bit embarrassed, but she did not object to the snake observing her.

Ms. White did not take long to give an answer:

"She is very dazzling."

After a slight pause:

"The stage lights shine for her, and she herself is radiating brilliance. Even if this is not her story, she looks more like the protagonist than all the other candidates... Yes, I understand."

The snake said to Xia De:

"There are always some mortals born with special fates that others do not possess. Although not all fates can be ultimately realized, those who seize the opportunity to actively embrace their fate often go further than others.

This Miss Beiya is very shining; she is born to stand under the spotlight in the center of the stage. Yes, that is why she was able to resonate with two rings ahead of everyone else. Although she is not the protagonist in the story of fate, on the world stage of the future, she will still shine."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na became increasingly embarrassed. Although she liked being praised, an eighteen-year-old girl is still quite reserved.

The snake then said:

"On this island, there is actually another young lady with a very special fate. God-Awakener, that young lady does not come here very often with you, because her fate is only complete when combined with another person, so even I did not notice her special nature at first.

That fate was bestowed by the world, but it seems to have been almost completely abandoned by them. But if they are willing to face their fate again, once the Ring of Fate belonging to them condenses, Mr. Snake will likely face big trouble. That young lady has long golden hair, her eyes are emerald green, and she..."

"I know."

Xia De interrupted the snake's words. Yin Yi Yi Lu Na keenly noticed that Xia De's voice was somewhat cold:

"Since they have already abandoned their fate, then do not let them face it again. People choose fate, not fate chooses people. A special fate is also a heavy burden; not everyone can face it directly like Yin Yi Yi Lu Na."

The snake nodded in understanding:

"Yes, then until next time, God-Awakener, Miss Beiya. Unless there is something very urgent, I will not appear again before the seventh act."

"Until next time, Ms. White."

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and Xia De said goodbye to it, and the snake head sank back into the ice lake and merged with the water veins.

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na examined Xia De's expression and then asked:

"What Ms. White said at the end, that was Dorothy and Princess Princess Lei Qianya, right?"

Yin Yi Yi Lu Na and Luweiya were among the few who had heard a little about the writer and the princess from Xia De. Xia De did not hide it from her:

"Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, you know what the words 'Redemptor' and 'Savior' mean, right?"

"Of course I do, they both mean savior or redeemer."

"These are the middle names of Dorothy and Princess Lei Qianya."

Xia De said. The eighteen-year-old girl nodded and did not continue the topic:

"But since Ms. White also has no way to condense fate, we can only passively wait for fate to appear."

"Fate will actively find us, Yin Yi Yi Lu Na, I believe in this absolutely."

The two then flew into the air together to find Winnie. And this was the last important thing Xia De did on this Friday afternoon. He had not slept all last night, and now he finally had a chance to rest. After returning to the ship, Xia De went to his room to sleep. When he opened his eyes again, it was before dinner, and he had been awakened by Matilda.

"Do you want to sleep a little longer? The young lady said if you want to continue resting, you can sleep a while longer."

The maid from Moon Bay asked with some concern. Xia De held his head and sat up, glancing at the sunset outside the porthole:

"No need, I'll get up now... I seem to have had a strange dream."

"What did you dream about?"

The beautiful blonde maid asked curiously, but Xia De shook his head blankly:

"I seem to have agreed to some conditions proposed by two people, and made an appointment with them about something... I don't remember."

Matilda then said:

"Then don't think about it. If the dream is important, you will remember it sooner or later. However, Difa once taught me a way for the master to get rid of a headache after waking up."

She bent down and kissed Xia De, and a moment later, she blinked while pressing against Xia De's face:

"Is it better now?"

"Of course... did you just eat fruit?"

"Yes, this is also a technique Difa taught me."

"Meow~"

The cat by the pillow also finished its sleep, stepping on the pillow with its little head lowered and its tail curled backward, performing a stretching motion. Dinner was about to begin, and the cat's day was still very happy.

After eating dinner on the ship, Xia De, who was urged by the young ladies to "sleep early tonight and don't stay up late," returned home with Dorothy. Afterwards, Xia De did not stay at home for long. After temporarily saying goodbye to Dorothy, he appeared in Midhillburg. After entering the city, he arrived at the sacrificial grounds on the mountain peak through the Snake Heart Hospital.

At this time, the sky was completely dark. Looking up at the starry sky from the top of such a high mountain, the sea of stars seemed within reach.

As expected, Sister Daifulin, who missed the story of the fifth act, was still in the sacrificial grounds underground. Only this time, she was not kneeling beside the brazier with the great sword stuck in it, but standing on one side of the brazier with her hands clasped together in front of her and her head lowered.

The firelight below made that beautiful face wearing a silver eye mask constantly float between light and shadow. She looked like she had fallen asleep standing up. Sister Daifulin's ethereal and even somewhat fragile temperament was more prominent at this moment than usual.

When Xia De took out the silver ring by the fire, the nun immediately recognized what it was:

"Ring of Fate: Death... Predestined Death."

Next was Xia De's low voice telling the story after early this morning. Sister Daifulin already knew the secret of Priest Priest Ao Gu Si, so Xia De explained the origin of this ring in great detail:

"Sister, as the Chosen of Death, you should be able to resonate with it, right?"

The ring was handed over by Xia De, and when the nun's two hands, covered in burn marks, held it up, the Ring of Fate indeed appeared from the steam mist behind the nun.

It was just that the nun's twelve-ring Ring of Fate was now covered in cracks, and in the cracks was the firelight of the Primordial Fire. Xia De remembered that the nun's Ring of Fate did not look like this before.

"With this, I can advance to the thirteenth ring within a week."

The nun said softly, the light emitted by the ring in her hand floating together with the flames in the brazier below.

Xia De breathed a sigh of relief:

"That's great. In this way, the Chosen of Darkness is dead, and there are seven remaining... Knowledge is still in the arrow, so there are six. Among the six remaining Chosen, you and the Guardians of the Earth have all reached the thirteenth ring. Luweiya once said that when all thirteen Chosen appear and all survivors reach the thirteenth ring, that will be the end of all stories.

Mr. Albei of Moon Bay said that when his true body breaks free from the stone statue, he will be able to advance to the thirteenth ring immediately; although Emilia and Yin Yi Yi Lu Na started at a lower level, they are now steadily advancing. Plus, Sister Daifulin, you are about to advance, so it seems the progress is going very smoothly."

The nun, however, said:

"The final advancement will take place in death. Once this process begins, it cannot be left until it is completed. On Fatumunster Island, is my strength still needed?"

"It doesn't matter, the witches and I can handle everything. Besides, even if other situations arise within a week, aren't there the Guardians of the Earth and Mr. Albei and the others?"

Xia De reassured the nun:

"The next sixth act is the Great Movement of Fate ritual, which is the home field of the Prophecy Society. We plan to take this opportunity to rest a little; everyone has been very tired recently investigating the Lustful One. Sister, then you should start your own advancement. We are all looking forward to you reappearing in a brand new posture, which will surely surprise everyone.

Oh, almost forgot this, look, new firewood."

The half-broken black sword given by the doctor was taken out by Xia De. This was not the broken blade that the Lustful One and the Baron were entangled with, but the remains of the Demon of Weapons. Although the demon's essence was partially split, the shell containing the power was complete. Such a powerful demon would surely make the flames burn more vigorously.

As for the blood of the Demon King, Xia De did not intend to show it to the nun. After all, the Primordial Fire was not yet complete, and there was no need for the current flames to come into contact with such dangerous things. It was better to let Priest Priest Ao Gu Si keep the blood.
