Chapter 3795

"Hoo!"

Xia De, lying on the snow, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and suddenly looked up.

At this moment, the girls' common singing in the distance had disappeared. He was sitting directly below the cliff of the fate ruins at the peak, and landed after falling hundreds of meters.

Above was the cliff, the amazingly bright starry sea, and the moonlight covered by the three moons. Everything just now seemed like an illusion. Where was the hand holding Xia De above?

"No, someone did hold my hand just now."

Because he clearly felt that a touch of gentleness remained in his hand, and clearly felt that the silver figure just now was still imprinted in his eyes.

"Is it you?"

The laughter of the night sounded in the wind.

"Is it you?"

The stars sprinkled gentle radiance.

"Is it you?"

The moon embraced him at this moment, without answering, but he already understood. Perhaps what he longed for was waiting for him at the end of the path to demigodhood, at the end of the long stairs to godhood.

Thick steam mist emerged from behind. While Xia De looked at his right hand in a daze but eagerly, a fate ring even larger than before appeared rapidly rotating in the depths of the steam mist.

【Outsider, you were knocked down from the Saint's Cliff by the Old God - Mr. Misfortune, and you felt "blasphemy."】

【Knowing the past in the fall, seeing the direction of the future in the fall. With fate as the thrust, you have taken another step on the path to demigodhood, and obtained three of the six elements of the "Rebirth Ceremony." Falling, falling, falling, the beginning is falling, and the end is also falling.】

【Outsider, you have inscribed the Silver Blasphemy Spirit Rune - Falling.】

【Outsider, your spell - "Falling Star Strike" has sublimated into a miracle, with no new effects, but the power has been greatly increased. Corresponds to the 【Falling】 Spirit Rune.】

【You have learned part of your "initial" story, all attributes ↑, all spell effects ↑.】

On the fate ring, the last spirit rune belonging to the Ninth Ring finally appeared. Up to this point, the four-element spirit runes of the Ninth Ring were all complete, and even the high-ring sublimation language spirit rune...

"Falling traveler, rewriting the poem of the world."

He looked at his right hand that seemed to have been held just now, and said that sentence again. 【Falling】 【Traveler】 【Change】 【World】 【Poem】, although the core spirit rune had not been decided, just at the Ninth Ring now, he already had Blasphemy - 【Falling】 and Miracle - 【World】. He could soak one of them with divinity and then promote to the Tenth Ring.

"Falling traveler... does this refer to me?"

And thinking of this, the memory that emerged during the fall just now was remembered by Xia De again:

"I really came to this world in the spring of 1853, not in the summer of 1853! The place I first arrived at was not No. 6 St. Deran Plaza in Tobesk City, but the ancient Moon Tower on Mount Karas! And at that time, that tower had not collapsed as in the news!"

The past him only had guesses about this, but this time the blurry memory was retrieved, and he finally completely proved when and where his journey in this world began.

"In that tower, I saw many corpses, I climbed the tower, and then met Miss Helena Carter, the astrologer Euclid, and Miss Beast the werewolf witch. Maybe they were not real people but some kind of incarnation or shadow, but I did contact them. And finally I jumped from the tower, and then lost this memory of arriving at the beginning of the world."

The memory was still blurry, but the two golden and silver figures at the top of the tower seen during the fall in the memory were still clear.

He was not sure who they were, and didn't know why they just watched him fall like this.

But at least the Outsider already knew some important information, knowing that his initial encounter as an Outsider was related to three people closely related to the moon.

"And the three of them had different intersections with me in the 'future.' Was the encounter at the beginning destined for the story later, or did the story later affect time and space, leading to the encounter at that time? Fate, yes, accident is inevitability, and inevitability is also accident. I understand."

At this time, the Outsider remembered again that the Tree Father had told him that the "Rebirth Ceremony" could allow him to obtain the third core spirit rune (Chapter 2927). This ceremony was also an important part of the path to demigodhood—

【The blood of the person admired, neither silver nor red; the mark of the person protected, supreme power; the roots of the person taught, cursed remains; the finger bones of the person who studies stars, guiding fate; the hair of the person who chases the moon, devout faith; the existence of the person who sacrificed, proof of replacement.】

Now "the roots of the person taught," "the finger bones of the person who studies stars," and "the hair of the person who chases the moon," Xia De already understood who they pointed to.

The remaining three elements can be known as long as he continues to explore the blurry parts of his memory. And what that initial memory was, and why the initial memory had always been forgotten by Xia De, probably involved a truth that the Outsider could not imagine at this moment.

"You..."

He asked hesitantly in his heart, "she" knew his thoughts:

【You want to know if there were traces of me when the story of the Moon-Watching Tower happened.】

"You..."

【Outsider, you are me.】

"She" still gave such an answer, just like when the Outsider had doubts at No. 6 St. Deran Plaza at the beginning.

The Outsider felt he understood, but also felt he didn't understand.

It was just that at this moment he looked up at the high place of the cliff again, an item fell slowly, and that chess piece emitting golden light was held in his hand. The fall ended, he was still alive, he won.

At the same time the chess piece was touched by his left hand, the divinity contained in it merged into his soul without any stagnation. The divinity belonging to the 【God of Misfortune】 became one of the three drops of divinity possessed by the Outsider at this moment.

Because it was actively gifted, the divinity directly became his power. He did not gain any extra spirit runes because of this drop of divinity, but he had a deeper understanding of fate.

"The purpose of the God of Misfortune's trip seems to be to make me fall. But was it out of His own thoughts, wanting to create a more wonderful story for Mr. Ring, or was this an inevitability at this time? Luck returned to Ai Li at the high place, and misfortune returned to me at the low place... The story Mr. Ring is looking forward to is really interesting."

Amidst the surging thoughts, Xia De spread his palms to look at the residue after the chess piece containing divinity shattered. After throwing the residue onto the snow, his left hand gripped forward—

Hum!

A fate ring with the color of silver-white moonlight appeared out of thin air and resonated with Xia De. This was Xia De's third ring, and also the last ring condensed by Xia De himself.

【Fate Ring · Falling, this is the fate of the Outsider falling here.】

【Fate Interpretation: Falling is not sinking, but the beginning of a brand new story.】

【Effect: The holder of this fate ends the old story and starts a new story.】

The silver-white ring turned into light spots and flew to the back of his right hand, becoming the outermost ring nested on the back of his right hand.

Xia De stood up holding the snow, only feeling that compared to the fall just now, everything from entering the Drowning Ghost Tavern tonight to before the God War had become unimportant.

"It seems I need to set off for Mount Karas as soon as possible."

He thought in his heart, and "she" reminded gently:

【The Battle of Fate is not over yet, they have returned to the battlefield, only you are missing.】

"Yes, I understand."

He looked down at the back of his hand, and then looked up at the night sky twinkling with stars at this moment. Snowflakes and grit flew in the wind, but the Outsider only felt refreshed as if waking up from a big dream.

He had not only recovered to his best state, but even felt that his body, soul, and even fate had been greatly improved.

This was definitely not just because of the drop of divinity gifted by the 【God of Misfortune】. The "fall" just now was not just falling, it was some kind of ceremony that the Outsider didn't understand.

On a night in the spring of 1853, he fell from the Moon Tower, thus starting a life in a brand new world. The story representing the origin of the "Outsider" was reenacted in the Battle of Fate tonight, the path to demigodhood continued to extend forward, and the Outsider also gained power because of this.

This was not a simple change in strength; its essence was that Xia De was less and less like a human, moving closer to those high-dimensional existences.

Eyes looking at this world gained more information than ever before; the mouth breathing the air of the snowy mountain was essentially not just absorbing air. The power of body and soul was more powerful, running faster and jumping higher; these were just the appearances of this improvement. What was more important was the change that mortals could not understand.

【Resurrection】 【Miracle】 【Falling】, the three Rings of Fate heralded the initial story, and also the story when everything began. At this moment, the three rings and the half-wheel 【Noble】 resonated with Xia De, so he showed a smile in the wind. He understood how to defeat the skin-shedding Doomsday Snake in the end.

"Although Mr. Ring has left, He did direct a very good play, and even the performance of me, a person sitting under the stage, was taken as fun by Him."

【Sometimes, the story under the stage is also part of watching the play.】

The Outsider deeply understood again that the Old Gods were really the incarnations of rules and phenomena. Their departure only meant that they would no longer respond to the calls of mortals, but their power had actually always been there. As long as the world exists, the Old Gods exist.

"Departure" is not accurate; they may just be "sleeping."

"No matter what, let's end everything tonight first."

But he didn't leave immediately, but continued to examine his right hand, which he hadn't been willing to touch any object with since waking up.

He looked at that hand, recalling the gentleness during the fall just now. Until "she" in his ear urged helplessly, Xia De pressed his right hand on his left chest, moved his heart and flew up, and then his body disappeared into the void.

Lady Sanmei seconds later, Xia De arrived at the edge of the sand sea battlefield. The top of this place was still shrouded in dim yellow light. Although the time he spent at the bottom of the cliff seemed not long to him, the battlefield situation had reached the most difficult moment.
