Chapter 3770

As Ms. Pawo spoke, she raised her finger, and a snake skin floated to her right side, followed by a blue ring.

"She" softly recounted to Xia De the content that appeared on the "Manual of Destiny":

【Ring of Destiny · Brilliant, this is a destiny destined to be full of radiance.】

【Interpretation of Destiny: Mundane things will definitely be able to bloom with radiance, but whether this radiance is eternal remains unknown.】

【Effect: The holder of this destiny is not affected by darkness and enhances the effect of light-type powers.】

"This is something I obtained by chance a few days ago. Interesting, isn't it? I thought at that time that this stage was inviting me to also go on stage and become an actor, adding more fun to the final story."

Ms. Pawo said to herself, but finally shook her head:

"But I have no interest in this matter. The reason I didn't throw it away was just because I needed to face this kind of scene at this moment. God-Caller, go do your business. I still have to wait here for that gentleman from the 【Society of Ten Thousand Returns to One】 to come and fulfill the contract."

Now that the seventh act had not yet ended, Xia De did not want to go and exchange for the Ring of 【Miracle】 right now:

"If you stay here, aren't you afraid of meeting Mr. Snake?"

The female sorceress, who was a 9th-tier like Xia De, shook her head:

"We certainly have no friendship with such a thing that wants to slide the world toward the end, but I am not worried about meeting it either. According to my calculations, the possibility of it making things difficult for me, who has nothing to do with the story of destiny, tonight is no more than 5.3%. It should be concentrating on preparing for the final great battle at this moment. Although I don't know much about this, I can guess that it must have its own fatal means."

Xia De knew that she had always believed in numbers:

"Since you say Mr. Snake won't come out to disturb us, why don't we have a talk?"

"Don't you need to protect the candidate? You have a lot of confidence in her? Fine, what shall we talk about?"

Xia De looked into her eyes:

"The Difference Engine, how is your construction going?"

Ms. Pawo raised her eyebrows, then laughed from the heart:

"Although I'm curious about your information channel, I don't think you'll tell me how you know."

She looked at Xia De with great appreciation:

"You guessed right. This time, seeking the destiny of 【Miracle】 is indeed related to the construction of the Difference Engine. We encountered some difficulties that cannot be solved by current technical means, so we can only seek help from the miracle of destiny."

"What is your purpose in wanting to build the Difference Engine?"

Xia De asked again. Ms. Pawo, under the mural of the "Pilgrim's Road," shook her head:

"This cannot be said, but when the day we succeed comes, you will naturally understand. Speaking of which, one really shouldn't underestimate anyone's wisdom. The initial idea for the Difference Engine was proposed by an ordinary scientist at the Carson-Rick Academy of Sciences, and we just further perfected it based on the other party's idea.

The name 'Difference Engine' is quite interesting. The machine uses the finite difference method as its calculation principle. I think the person who gave this name must know mathematics very well."

This name was actually given by Xia De, but he didn't need to explain this point:

"The basic structure of the machine you want to build comes from the wisdom enlightenment of the Chosen One ritual, the energy and information transmission method is the light element energy transmission obtained from the 【Light-Worshipper Training Society】, the energy core is the power of civilization, and there is also strange knowledge like human alchemy provided by Laplace Howard.

Added to this time's miracle power, what will the machine that is about to be completed be like?"

The smile on Ms. Pawo's face became even stronger:

"If possible, I really want to show off our achievements to you. After all, you seem to understand our research very well. In fact, even I didn't expect at the beginning of the plan that we could push this plan to this extent in less than two years.

But God-Caller, this time it really can't be said. I have always been a humble person, and this is not the time to show off. Why don't we talk about something else?"

Xia De thought she wanted to talk about the Chosen One of Destiny, but he didn't expect her to ask:

"You want to know the information about the 【Blood Spirit School】 and the Weeping Blood Hermons, right?"

"Yes, can this be said?"

"Of course it can. After all, Hermons' plan is basically completed. What he wants to do next is also very simple: he is preparing for death."

"Death?"

"Do you know why Hermons is called the weakest 13th-tier?"

Xia De had heard about this a long time ago:

"Before he ascended, he was seriously injured by the Orthodox Church in the Old Continent. After taking people and fleeing to the New Continent, he completed his ascension through unconventional means, so his power cannot be compared to a normal 13th-tier."

Ms. Pawo nodded:

"He has no way to turn back, so everything can only start over. After finding the door to the legendary 【Creation Birth Room】 in the New Continent, even if the 【Blood Spirit School】 couldn't fully utilize the power within, it gave Hermons hope.

That is the hope of rebirth. After his own death, let his body complete rebirth, and then ascend to the 13th-tier again with the correct method after rebirth. All the actions of the 【Blood Spirit School】 in recent years, such as when you first appeared in 1853, their actions helping 【Mercury Blood】, and in 1854 when they helped the believers of the Old God 【Stone Heart Demon】 in the Randall Valley, were all for this purpose.

Finding a way to ensure that rebirth can proceed smoothly, and that the soul can be preserved before rebirth; finding the materials needed for rebirth, and materials that can make him stronger during rebirth.

In the end, Hermons actually set his sights on the 【House of Counterfeit Humans】. This crazy guy got some... forbidden knowledge from the counterfeit humans. I think he has completed most of his rebirth plan, and now only the question of how to die remains."

Ms. Pawo signaled Xia De to ask questions. Xia De frowned:

"Is this the purpose of the 【Blood Spirit School】? I originally thought all this was for the so-called Golden Bloodline."

The so-called "Golden Bloodline" refers to purifying blood until it is golden, tracing back to the most primitive power of human bloodline in the ancient era, in order to achieve the ultimate evolution of mankind and achieve the "Golden Human." This is the ultimate pursuit of the 【Blood Spirit School】.

Ms. Pawo smiled:

"Hermons' rebirth does not conflict with the pursuit of the so-called 'Golden Bloodline.' His rebirth itself is an experiment to explore whether the method they found can make Hermons become the so-called 'Golden Human.'

I am also very interested in their experimental results. After all, in any case, this is a very interesting way to become stronger.

However, don't think about meeting Hermons in the short term. He originally planned to be killed by you after offending you. After all, death also has symbolic significance in the process of rebirth, and who kills him and by what means is also very important.

But in the end, he gave up appearing in front of you. He was worried that you had some means to make him unable to even be reborn. Calculating the time, he should have returned to the New Continent by now, and his rebirth should have results within about half a year."

This means that if the plan of the 【Blood Spirit School】 goes smoothly, the Weeping Blood Hermons that Xia De will face next will probably be stronger than ever before.

But Xia De didn't care:

"No matter how strong he becomes, he is only a 13th-tier. Even if he is not compared to Mr. Snake tonight, he cannot compare to Laplace Howard. Rebirth is just delaying the time for me to eliminate him. I look forward to the next time he appears in front of me."

Ms. Pawo held the angelic-level relic called the "Codex of Smowell" and reminded him meaningfully:

"What if he really gets the so-called 'Golden Bloodline'?"

"That would still be human. Although humans in the First Era were very strong, they were still mundane things... Does the Golden Bloodline really exist?"

The lady of the 【Truth Society】 did not give a direct answer:

"The Golden Bloodline they think they have may not be the Golden Bloodline they think it is, but something even harder to understand. We have cooperated with the 【Blood Spirit School】 to a certain extent, and some of their technologies are indeed commendable.

The 【Blood Spirit School】 must have discovered something on the road to pursuing gold. As for whether that is the Golden Bloodline, at least they themselves believe it very much."

"Madmen have found power that even they cannot understand, and they think they can use it. This is usually the beginning of some great catastrophe."

Xia De commented on this. Ms. Pawo thought he was also satirizing the 【Truth Society】, but she did not point this out:

"Then God-Caller, do you have so much time to chat with me here right now? I thought your time tonight was very tight."

This meant the conversation was ending. Xia De did not intend to have a fight with Ms. Pawo here. After all, the story of destiny had reached its end, and he didn't need to consume his strength before fighting Mr. Snake:

"Then let me ask the last question—Ms. Pawo, do you think your act of building the Difference Engine is different from the 【Blood Spirit School】's pursuit of the Golden Bloodline, right?"

The female sorceress had long expected Xia De to ask this:

"Whether technological progress is beneficial to the world can only be known after verification. We will not blindly deny the appearance of any new things. God-Caller, nothing is settled yet, so I won't argue with you about what our actions mean to this world."

Xia De nodded, did not talk to her anymore, and walked toward the wall hanging the golden Ouroboros disk.

Ms. Pawo watched him bypass the wall before turning to admire the mural again. And this time, Xia De, who came behind the wall, finally saw the long corridor he had seen in the memory of the "Lover."

Rolling yellow sand rushed toward him, and the floor of the corridor was already covered with rolling sand and dust. The interior area of the temple was much larger than the exterior, but Xia De did not care about the areas on both sides of the corridor. Instead, he directed the silver light ball to fly inward against the wind until it illuminated the low stone door at the end of the corridor.
