Chapter 4026

The poisonous blood activated by life energy was very dangerous. Even if only one drop fell on the land below, it would be enough to cause the most serious consequences.

Miss Ingram and Miss Luweiya could currently only cast divine arts to gather them together and use the power of the miracle element to suppress their toxicity, but they could not completely eradicate them.

"Miracle: Life Fire Seed!"

Xia De didn't approach that side with Miss Luweiya, but shot out four chains again from a distance. The chains pierced into the poison mist gathered together, extracted the abnormal life force contained therein in the form of fire seeds, and injected them into the fire source in his palm again.

After completing this work, the remaining poison mist could be handled by Miss Ingram or Miss Luweiya themselves. Xia De and Miss Luweiya looked at each other, but didn't greet each other. Before Miss Ingram could open her mouth to talk to the "God-Caller," Xia De flew away from the city area with Miss Luweiya.

Miss Luweiya originally thought that Xia De wanted to avoid the church's sight, so he didn't return to the city area, but Xia De landed in the abandoned farm where he last met the "Thousand-Eyed Shushi."

It was already eight-thirty in the evening. There was no light in the farm. After landing, Xia De didn't speak, but took out a small, imperceptible metal gear that had stuck to his sleeve at some point.

After the flames rising in his hand burned it, Xia De signaled Miss Luweiya not to speak first. After the two waited for a while, the third figure crossed the farm wall and arrived here.

The moonlight illuminated the figure of the "Construct Master" Schluch Lake. He stopped at a position just right, not completely approaching the two.

He first looked at the beautiful woman beside Xia De, and then asked:

"Is this another witch?"

Xia De ignored this question:

"I thought it would take you a while to get rid of that gentleman from the 【Sun Church】."

"The 【Thunder Fury】 is not good at tracking, but better at head-on combat. If I were entangled by him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get away easily. But after all, this is the Arcadia region, and I am more familiar with this place than he is."

This Thirteenth-Ring Shushi said, looking up at the three moons in the night sky:

"When you and I first met in Schluch Lake, I'm afraid no one could have imagined that two years later today, we would be standing here talking with completely different identities."

"I am very curious, when that merman priest performed divination for everyone, did you already have this idea?"

Xia De asked, and the "Construct Master" nodded:

"The life fire seed was first clearly recognized by us during the failed experiment of the mechanical floating island prototype seven years ago. And when that merman priest gave the prophecy, the prototype of the 'Fire Source' had already been constructed."

He touched the ornament hanging on his waist. It was a metal eye made of brass. The volume of that metal eye was much larger than the "Fire Source" Xia De made, almost twice the diameter of an ordinary pocket watch.

"I don't want to track your trail, this time I just want to talk to you."

The "Construct Master" Schluch Lake said:

"In your opinion, between human flesh bodies and machines, which one is stronger?"

Xia De frowned:

"It's getting late, my companion and I appeared here, not to discuss this meaningless topic with you. But since you asked, I can also give you an answer—didn't the 'Blood Weeper' just now prove to you that flesh bodies are not necessarily weaker than machines?

If I had to choose, I would choose flesh. This is not because of any special reason, just because I like this body of mine very much."

The Thirteenth-Ring Shushi nodded gently:

"I understand what you mean. You like natural bodies and don't like acquired modifications. Your body is indeed powerful. Touching 'Wither' with bare hands, even in my opinion, is unimaginable.

But you should have other methods to suppress the 'Twisted Life Fire Seed' besides 'Wither,' right? Whether it's relics, miracle spells, or alchemical items, I want to obtain this method from you."

Xia De asked strangely:

"It seems that the fire source in your hand is not very stable, but why do you think I would be willing to help you?"

Schluch Lake shook his head:

"This is just a proposal. If you are willing to share this technology, I can also give a reward. It's just that I don't know what you want, so you can make your request."

Xia De smiled:

"Then do you know more information about the tenth Chosen One? The information already shared by the 【Creation Sect】 still has vague areas. Is it that the church really doesn't know, or are they still hiding the most valuable fragments of the poem?"

The Thirteenth-Ring Shushi responded:

"The information currently held by those in the Holy See is indeed only this much, but the researchers responsible for studying the 'Fire Source' know more things. That was during the explosion of the mechanical floating island prototype. The explosion blew a big hole in the test site, and a stone tablet appeared underground—at the beginning of birth, it is the time of the end."

This sentence appeared again. Xia De had heard this sentence from more than one channel.

"What does this mean?"

And this time, Xia De's question was finally answered.

"We have read many documents and obtained the answer through some taboo methods.

The world is heading towards the end. For the last life born in this world, the day of its birth is the time of the end of the world. This is really incomparably sad."

The voice of the "Construct Master," whose appearance was a middle-aged man, was very steady. The moonlight shone on the three people present:

"The requirement of the Chosen One of Creation is very simple, and that is to let this sad life be born into this world, creating a 'Child of the End' in the true sense for this world. It can be a flesh life, it can be a mechanical life, or even other forms of existence, but that life form must possess reproductive ability to be considered a true life.

And the duality of the Chosen One of Creation lies in the fact that the candidate can be the creator of the 'Child of the End,' or the 'Child of the End' itself that is created. Both the creator and the created individual have the qualifications to compete for that position, which is very fair."

Xia De and Miss Luweiya looked at each other, not expecting that they could really get such an answer. They didn't doubt the accuracy of this information because the information provided by the other party could correspond to all current clues.

"Except for those of us who have left the Holy See, the 【Truth Society】 also knows this secret with a high probability. They knew the secret of the 'Fire Source' far earlier than we did. The 【Creation Sect】 has actually always suspected that the 【Truth Society】 is also a branch of the 【Creation Sect】, but this suspicion cannot be confirmed."

The information he gave was weighty enough, and the requirements for the Chosen One were already clear enough. Xia De thought for a while and looked at Miss Luweiya. Miss Luweiya then handed him one of the two amulets Xia De gave her.

"This amulet has the power of death. After wearing it, it can prevent being invaded by the 'Twisted Life Fire Seed.' Of course, it can only protect against passive erosion. If you actively accept the disaster of the world, then no one can save you."

Therefore, Xia De was very sure that this amulet could only play a protective role and would not enhance the other party's power:

"But before reaching a deal, I still have some questions."

Xia De's peripheral vision swept over Miss Luweiya, who didn't know what she was thinking:

"Have you heard the name 'Nicolas Flamel'? The other party was active more than twenty years ago."

The "Construct Master" recalled carefully:

"More than twenty years ago, I had not yet been promoted to the Thirteenth Ring, and I had also worked in the church of the Arcadia diocese for a period of time, but in my impression, I had never encountered anyone with this name."

Xia De nodded. It seemed that at least Miss Luweiya's mother had no major connection with the 【Creation Sect】:

"The last question, what do you know about the 【Emerald Tablet】?"

He said, throwing the amulet in his hand directly over.

The "Construct Master" caught it, sensed the power of the amulet, and put it into his pocket:

"The local Ringed Shushi organization 【Emerald Alchemy Association】 is looking for it, and the manufacture of the fire source in my hand is also related to this Unknown-level relic."

"【Emerald Tablet】 is in the hands of the church?"

Miss Luweiya couldn't help but ask. The "Construct Master" shook his head:

"Of course not, but the church accidentally learned a sentence from that Unknown-level relic locally many years ago.

After the accident seven years ago, the researchers took that sentence as the core and combined it with the ancient taboo knowledge in the Holy See library to manufacture the two existing 'Fire Sources.' It's a pity that we can't manufacture more 'Fire Sources' either."

He finally said to Xia De:

"Whether you believe it or not, we so-called 'Traitors' are definitely not your enemies."

"Although we were all fighting against the 'Blood Weeper' tonight, this doesn't mean we are partners."

"Not partners, at least not enemies. It's not just us, you, the Holy See, and the 【Blood Spirit School】 that possess 'Fire Sources.' Other organizations may not be for the identity of the Chosen One, but now people who have fire sources are gathering as much life fire seed as possible.

Only a sufficiently exuberant life fire seed can support life in the true sense. The last life born in the twilight era is about to cry. In that cry, the God of Creation will choose His successor."

He waved at Xia De, then flew into the night sky and left this abandoned farm. Xia De looked up at the figure of this Thirteenth-Ring Shushi disappearing, thinking about the information of the "Child of the End," and said to Miss Luweiya beside him:

"Let's go back too."

The witch, who was full of thoughts, nodded gently. The two first joined the other two young ladies on the edge of the city, then went to the morgue to find the young lady who was handling the corpses, took the corpse away, and then returned to the "Fragrant Mansion."

After returning to the mansion, Miss Luweiya, who had been silent all the way, didn't even change her clothes, and asked Xia De in the process of going upstairs:

"Who exactly are you?"
