Chapter 3805: Fate Divinity

Xia De actually just asked casually; he did not expect to get any answer from this humanoid Unknowable-level relic. Unexpectedly, "If" actually answered:

"【Myriad Phenomena Impermanence Card】 is an item older than the 'First People'. Yes, older."

"Then what are the 'First People'?"

Xia De asked again, and "If" laughed:

"Sorry, God-Awakener, this is the second question."

Xia De also laughed:

"I knew you would say that! It really has the style of a prophet... Also, regarding the matter of desire, thank you for your help."

"My pleasure."

"If" bowed slightly to Xia De again, and then returned the two pistols that had been missing just now to Xia De:

"Before the God of Misfortune left, he entrusted me to keep them for the time being."

Xia De then asked:

"Is he worried that I would take the wrong gun when shooting at the snake?"

"If" did not comment on the affairs of the two gods. After it restored the appearance of the three pistols to their original state, it disappeared in a flash of light.

"Unknowable-level..."

Xia De whispered, and looked at the three pistols floating in front of him. "She" said gently:

【After tonight's events, these three relics theoretically already possess the possibility of merging into one. And because they have been used by two gods, the brand-new relic fused from them will most likely become a new 'Unknowable-level' one.】

Relics with similar appearances and similar functions theoretically all have the possibility of fusion. For example, Xia De's 【Fate's Twenty-Sided Die】 was strengthened by another die-type relic in the story of fate.

But this kind of fusion naturally also carries risks, and under normal circumstances, the risks far outweigh the benefits.

So Xia De looked at the three guns in front of him and shook his head, placing them into his pocket or the holster at his waist respectively:

"I'd better not create another Unknowable-level relic for this world. Aren't the troubles this world faces enough?"

"She" smiled gently, and Xia De reached out toward the purple barrier under the tower.

The thirteen rings had now returned to their respective owners, but even without the fate of 【Nobility】, this barrier did not block Xia De. After all, the Outsider was now also in a state of "having three fates."

And after entering the tower, just as "If" said, the Outsider could not see any "possibilities." He only saw the empty interior of the tower and the spiral staircase in the center of the tower leading directly to the top floor.

Reaching out to grasp the cold handrail of the stairs, and then climbing up step by step, the moonlight shone in from the tower windows, and the sound of stepping on the stairs was particularly rhythmic under the moonlight.

In the situation of being alone, the exhausted Outsider finally had the opportunity to think about the gains and losses of this whole night. From 8 o'clock last night when he went to the Drowned Ghost Tavern until now, more than eight hours had passed.

Playing cards, fighting with the snake on the sea, entering the world of falsehood and reality with Xi Wei, seeing the door at home after returning to the ship, breaking into the mountaintop with Winnie, discussing the difference engine with Miss Pawo in the temple, entering the seal with everyone to fight the snake, a powerful blow of seven-ring resonance after merging with Iluna, digging the mountain to find the First Fire after being knocked away by the molting snake, and then summoning the witches, facing the gods alone.

Xia De recalled his "falling" again, and remembered that hazy memory about the spring of 1853:

"Since the starting point of my arrival in this world was the spring of 1853, then what did I experience between falling from the high tower in the spring and opening my eyes beside Detective Sparrow's sickbed in the summer?"

He walked past the moonlight from the window, and the moonlight embraced him briefly:

"Could it be that I really wandered as a tramp for several months?"

Although Mount Calas was located within the territory of Deraerion, it was definitely not a distance that could be reached by walking for a few days from there to Tobesk. Not to mention that Detective Sparrow taking in the tramp Xia De and training him to master some basic knowledge and skills also took a lot of time:

"Could it be that after falling from the tower, I appeared in Tobesk out of thin air?"

The Outsider shook his head, temporarily not thinking about this question. However, he thought that since he had obtained a brand-new Miracle, then after using the "Key of Doors," perhaps he could obtain a brand-new "Weakened Miracle" effect:

"I remember it is clockwise rotation."

While climbing the stairs, he used the miracle, and then the illusory starlight-colored key appeared in his hand, rotating clockwise—

Click~

"Miracle: Snow White!"

The spirit consumed by the weakened miracle was equivalent to casting an ordinary miracle, so even Xia De in his current state could use it. After casting the spell, he immediately felt that the spell was successful, and then with a clattering sound, at least thirty apples of different sizes and shapes appeared out of thin air.

"Oh!"

Xia De hurriedly reached out to catch them all, and then turned these apples into toys:

"The effect is to conjure a pile of apples, and the apples have the effect of detoxifying after being eaten... Is this an alienated version of 'Potent Goodberry'? If I could exchange this effect with Ai Li, Ai Li would be very happy, and I would also be very happy."

"She" laughed softly, and Xia De also revealed a smile, because the effect of this miracle's "summoning detoxifying apples" was indeed very interesting.

And as Xia De continued to climb, besides his footsteps, some subtle sounds were gradually becoming clear. But that was not the sound of people resting outside the tower, but the noise generated spontaneously inside this high tower.

In those subtle sounds, Xia De heard the voices of many people he was familiar with, and also heard many shocking conversations and conspiracies. However, he did not care about these. Thinking of the soft bed in his heart, he continued to climb upward, and before long, he arrived at the top of the tower.

Although the top floor of the 【Tower of Myriad Phenomena】 had two windows, the overall atmosphere was still dim and gloomy. It was as empty as the floor below, without furniture, and even without the complex and ancient divine rituals or powerful and strange relics or divine items that Xia De had imagined.

In the room on the top floor of the high tower, there was only one snake egg floating in the darkness.

Being able to recognize that this was a snake egg did not rely on the Outsider's knowledge, but the answer appeared directly in his heart. The snake egg itself was crystal clear, like crystal material, but looking closely, every side of the crystal seemed to contain a whole world.

This was naturally an illusion, but this snake egg must also have the ability to manifest "possibilities." However, there was a dazzling golden light vaguely in the center of the snake egg, which should be a real color.

No matter what, mortals could not create such a powerful artifact, so Xia De suspected that this was a divine artifact created by that ancient God of Fate himself.

Reaching out to touch it, at the same time his fingertips touched the warm snake egg, the moonlight was saying softly:

【Outsider, your miracle - "Ancient Voice" has been triggered.】

【Divine Artifact - Fate Egg. In the early First Era, the God of Fate originally planned to imitate the "Dragon King of Light" to create his own offspring, but gave up the plan for unknown reasons. The product of the plan is the snake egg before your eyes.】

【Although this egg cannot hatch and its power has long been out of control, if you swallow it in the state of "Transfiguration - Snake," there is a certain probability that you can directly transform into a Child of the Ancient God - Descendant of the Snake. This is an opportunity that belongs only to you.】

Xia De laughed:

"But if I really do this, it will also permanently and irreversibly change my current life and soul form, shifting myself from the moon to fate, right?"

【Yes.】

"Child of the Ancient God sounds powerful, but since I already have the path of twelve-divinity sublimation, why should I be greedy again?"

The Outsider was not interested in this at all. He believed that his current life and soul form were already excellent enough, and there was no need to risk giving up everything he was familiar with to embrace a brand-new system.

【Isn't it because of loyalty to the moon that you don't choose this opportunity?】

"She" asked again in Xia De's ear. The moonlight from the window illuminated Xia De's side profile, but it also felt like the moonlight was gently stroking his face.

"Yes, loyalty to the moon... I am still looking forward to that remnant of the Primordial Moon in the library."

The moonlight seemed to be laughing too. Xia De shook his head, and the hand touching the "snake egg" exerted a slight force—

"Thunder Wave!"

Crack!

A crack appeared on the surface of the crystal-clear snake egg. A few seconds later, the floating snake egg shattered completely. The crystal eggshell debris fell to the ground, while the golden light contained in the snake egg drilled directly into Xia De's hand.

Drip~

Brand-new divinity entered his soul. Thus, after consuming two drops of divinity tonight, the divinity within his soul at this moment was still three drops, just like before the Fate War.

However, he did not think about the gains and losses, but closed his eyes to feel this drop of divine power from the Ancient God.

In the darkness after closing his eyes, points of light soon appeared, until a scene similar to a sea of stars formed before Xia De's eyes. The starry sky of myriad phenomena was the impermanent fate. Now that the power of impermanent fate was in hand, the Outsider understood what the starry sky of myriad phenomena was.

The newborn ten-ring fate ring floated behind him in the steam mist. The faint golden light overflowing from the divinity turned toward the fate ring, giving birth to new power.

【Outsider, you have touched "Miracle."】

【In the legends of the old days, every star in the boundless sea of stars is a fate set by the Sage of the Moon and the Ouroboros for every mortal who looks up at the starry sky. The gods did not limit the fate of mortals, but the stars are indeed in the same starry sky, yet they will never touch. Fate is like this: lonely, cold, but still has a faint light.】

【Outsider, you have obtained the divinity of "Mr. Ring," and you have listened to the miracle of the starry night and fate.】

Starlight bloomed on the rapidly rotating fate ring. Xia De, who opened his eyes, then summoned the "Fate Handbook." At this moment when brand-new power was about to emerge, this big book also flashed with the light representing the stars.

The Outsider revealed a smile. He knew that what he was about to obtain was not a 【Fate】 Spirit Rune, but that harvest still made him satisfied.

The big book closed, and he placed his right palm downward on the cover of the book. And when he took his palm away, a pattern of silver moon and stars shining together appeared on the cover of the "Fate Handbook."

"She" smiled gently, and on the fate ring behind Xia De, the golden miracle spirit light finally engraved the first spirit rune of the ten rings.

【Outsider, you have engraved the golden miracle spirit rune - 【Star】.】 ===== CHAPTER 3806 =====
