Chapter 3774

The people who escaped from the large hole that appeared in the ruins certainly saw Stella, but now was not the time to say hello.

After landing at the temple entrance, almost everyone was using arcane arts or drinking magic potions to heal their injuries. Xia De even directly cast 【Dark Moon Grace】 to restore spiritual energy for everyone, and this arcane art that could restore spiritual energy didn't even cause people to discuss it at this moment.

Almost everyone had sand and dust on their bodies. Stella felt she already understood what was inside the cave emitting dim yellow light under the ruins.

She reached out and helped Flora, who was being held by Xia De, and the ground was still shaking violently at this moment.

The sound of the mountain collapsing could be heard clearly even at the highest position of the snowy mountain, but Stella thought at this moment that no matter what happened, the temple behind her would absolutely not collapse.

The large hole that began to spread from the center of the ruins finally stopped expanding after its diameter occupied half the width of the entire ruins, but the dim yellow light emanating from below made Stella think of the most terrifying bedtime stories she had heard from the elders of the tribe when she was a child.

"Below is..."

"Essentially another space, a false world created by the seal of the Old God, the snake's dream, and power we can't explain. There is only yellow sand there, not the end, but it is already infinitely close to the end."

Xia De explained, continuing to use moon fire to heal Flora, who was injured in the battle just now. Flora's undead dragon transformation really helped a lot just now.

And after the butterfly-winged girl nodded to Xia De, she disappeared directly, clearly going to deliver the message. More than a dozen sorcerers from the Church and the Academy stayed behind, while others took advantage of the mountain collapse and left here temporarily.

Those who stayed behind were in relatively good condition. Stella even found that the unknown 12th-tier diviner was holding a turtle in his hand, and what was embedded in the turtle's shell was clearly 【Void】.

Ten minutes ago, when Stella entered the Upper Spring, Xia De saw the stone door at the end of the tunnel disappear. Then the black snake rushed out and fought him fiercely, and Dorothy and the others and others who came to support the ruins were also called by Ms. White to help at the same time.

In the fierce battle, a group of people were forcibly sent to the deepest part of the seal by the snake in the dim yellow light. Finally, it was relying on the power of the Chosen One of Space that they fought to a draw with the snake that had just begun to move after being sealed for ten thousand years.

But clearly, compared to fighting Xia De and others, the snake cared more about completely breaking free from the seal, which gave everyone a chance to leave the seal.

And Xia De escaped so decisively because the manpower was currently incomplete. It was a foregone conclusion that the snake escaped the seal, but it would still take a few minutes to completely let its true body return to the material world, and they also needed time to make final preparations.

"Stella."

He said softly, and the white-haired girl nodded immediately, showing the two rings in her hand:

"The Upper Spring can condense the Ring of Destiny, but it takes time, and everyone's time is different. When I left, the Clown and the Priest were still in the spring water. Of course, there were also our friends. But Old Mr. Charatu and the woman who believed in the God of Misfortune were gone."

"This is not right. Before the last batch of us entered the ruins, except for the priest of the 【Society of Ten Thousand Returns to One】, all candidates had entered. Mr. Charatu and the cultist shouldn't have failed to find the Upper Spring."

The 12th-tier diviner holding the 【Void】 turtle said, and Xia De added:

"The priest came in with me... Where did those two candidates go?"

No one could answer this question. Xia De only hoped that they would absolutely not rush to the 【Oracle Plaza】 area on the cliff.

And Flora, who had recovered a little, asked Stella the most critical question:

"Since you completed the seventh act, how do you become the Chosen One?"

Stella then remembered that there was this matter:

"From the information I got, it seems to be saying that everyone should compare the size of the points, and the venue is this temple... But should we wait for others to come together? At least it shouldn't be just me."

"Then we can only wait."

Xia De then asked the Church crowd again:

"You also saw it in the depths of the seal just now. The true body of that snake was already huge to that extent just by exposing a part of it. Is it certain that the artifact that maintains the mountain won't collapse can take effect? If the Fatumonster Snowy Mountain collapses directly, the snake won't drill out bit by bit, but will directly reveal its entire body. The battle in a while will be very troublesome."

The 【Nightmare Witch】 answered this question:

"That artifact of the Sun Church should be fine, but this method can only last until dawn. If it is determined that the snake cannot be defeated before dawn, I am afraid that the second plan will have to be activated to temporarily lock the snake in this sea area."

This was not something Xia De and the witches would consider. The basic order of the material world was still maintained by the Church, and what Xia De needed to consider was just how to defeat the enemy. He would not consider how to end it once he failed. This was not because he was confident that he would definitely not lose, but because his power was not enough to consider such troublesome things.

With great power comes great responsibility. The Outsider understood this truth very well, so he did not pursue too much power.

The huge hole where the ruins collapsed seemed to connect to the legendary hell. After confirming that Flora was fine for the time being, Xia De returned to the temple interior quickly.

While Ms. Pawo, who was still waiting for someone, looked over curiously, he had already arrived at the offering table. The "Manual of Destiny" was unfolded, and the dice and coins fell all over the table with a clatter.

He didn't need to keep these to compete with others for points, so after looking at these harvests that represented his busyness for two months after the Year-End Festival, he said to the golden Ouroboros disk:

"I want to use all the points to exchange for the 【Ring of Miracle】!"

There were 1 golden 6-sided die (gifted by the Hermit), 1 silver 20-sided die (gifted by the Evil God), 7 brass-colored 20-sided dice (seven-act story), and 6 gold coins (Innocence, God of Gambling, Lord of Walls, Lady of Mist, Little Beren, Major Rads) on the table.

Of course, the most numerous were the black iron 6-sided dice and black iron coins. These were either obtained by Xia De directly killing the infinite snake, or obtained by Xia De shattering the black arc transformed by the infinite snake.

Counting the 70-89 6-sided die just obtained tonight, the sum of the average points of all dice at this moment plus the sum of the fixed points of the coins was 587 in total.

This number didn't sound particularly exaggerated. After all, the main source of points was those brass-colored 20-sided dice. Perhaps by doing something else tonight, Xia De could get more points, but there was no time to wait at this moment.

The golden Ouroboros disk on the wall then radiated a golden light toward the table below. In that light, all the dice turned after jumping once, and when the points of the dice were fixed, Xia De's final points were actually 681.

The dice and coins dissipated into light spots in that golden light, and then the light spots gathered into a dark golden ring in the center of the offering table.

But what made Xia De feel strange was that not all the coins disappeared. Four gold coins with holy emblems, from four different gods with 1 point, still remained on the table.

【Creator of Innocence】, 【God of Gambling】, 【Lord of Walls】, 【Lady of Mist】, clearly these gold coins were genuine solidified destiny, but after Xia De consumed all the points, they still remained. These points were not deducted, and Xia De still possessed four points.

But it didn't matter if it was just four points less. Xia De didn't think much, reached out and put away the four gold coins, and then looked at the dark golden ring that made his breathing a little fast.

Reaching out, the ring flew to him automatically. While holding the ring, the ring vibrated with a hum, and immediately resonated with the white "Su Sheng" ring that appeared on the back of his right hand, and the half-circle purple "Noble" ring.

"She" in his ear whispered softly:

【Outsider, you hold the second destiny - Miracle, this is the destiny that calls the Outsider to come to this world.】

【During the period of holding this ring, it is easier to trigger small probability events.】

【During the period of holding this ring, it is easier to encounter unpredictable events.】

【During the period of holding this ring, luck cannot be measured by any specific means.】

【The above effects have no consumption.】

【Outsider, consume this ring permanently in this temple, you can make a wish that affects destiny.】

The simple characteristics didn't even look as useful as the destiny of "Su Sheng," and they were all passive effects, but Xia De knew that the simpler the description, most of the time it meant extraordinary power.

Two destinies resonated at this moment, and the feeling of being about to face a major event that would affect his life became clearer and clearer. Xia De knew that the third Ring of Destiny belonging to him would definitely be obtained tonight, and his high-tier sublimation words, as well as the secrets he had been pursuing in the past, would also appear tonight.

His heart beat fast, making Xia De unable to know whether it was because of nervousness or excitement. He knew that the third ring was not far away, and it was even within reach.

Of course, before that, he still needed to deal with the big snake that was about to break free from the seal.

Boom!

The earthquake, avalanche, and the terrifying sound that could not be understood inside the mountain were mixed together, and the scene like the end of the world made the residents on the island who could not sleep tonight very panicked.

The small town accommodated members of almost all Fatum tribes on the island. These people who believed in the Holy Mountain gathered in all parts of the small town and prayed silently. And the people in the Time Wheel City only knew that the City Hall issued a "Special Climate Disaster Martial Law Order" at 8 o'clock in the evening, and knew that pirates attacked the island in various sounds coming from outside the city afterward.

They, who stayed at home and were ordered to close doors and windows, imagined all possible natural disasters that could happen on this island, tsunamis, avalanches, earthquakes, but they didn't expect that at this moment—

The mountain collapse began.
