Chapter 226

That barrier was created by Bai Yan.

"It was definitely my fault... Oh well, I'll just send it out first."

Released.

In Setsuna, Ragna felt as if he had been released from a cage, and his whole body was swept into some kind of vortex.

When she opened her eyes again, she found herself back at the Schicksal Headquarters.

She remained skeptical, took out her communicator, and activated a fixed alarm on the floating island.

The alarm sounded.

Ragna breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's definitely the original real world."

Inside the pitch-black space.

Knowing that the person who accidentally entered this place possessed that kind of barrier, Bai Yan was able to sense the location of the others.

A point of light appeared, and Bai Yan quickened his pace and walked towards it.

Chapter 274 The Lord Diviner's Dihua.

As the white light approached, Bai Yan saw another familiar face a moment later.

Rita looked at him, seemingly unsurprised by his appearance.

After a long silence, Bai Yan finally spoke.

"I just saw Professor Ragna and noticed the anomaly here. Rita, please don't move. I'll get you out of here right away."

Just as he was about to reach out, Rita asked, "After this is all over, Xiaoyan will come back, right?"

"... right."

Rita sighed, "Without the time to mature, Xiao Yan's acting still lacks a little bit of detail."

Bai Yan was speechless for a moment.

However, he didn't look away and walked straight up to Rita.

The two were very close and could clearly hear each other's breathing.

Bai Yan lowered his head.

A moment later.

"I'll see you out."

"After you come back, Xiao Yan can go even further."

Rita said softly.

Bai Yan paused for a moment, then nodded. "Mm."

Rita wanted to say something more, but everything before her eyes had already begun to change.

The boy was becoming blurry, and she suddenly tried to reach out and grab him, but she couldn't touch anything.

After Rita disappeared, Bai Yan stood there for a while.

Then continue moving towards the next point of light.

"These things, one by one, are making me start to waver. I really hope—"

Halfway through the conversation, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

The darkness vanished in an instant, replaced by a vast snowfield.

On the snow-covered plain, the group of people, equally bewildered, looked at each other.

Only Fu Xuan calmly maintained a certain hand gesture, and only lowered his hands when the darkness disappeared.

Vill-V, Sakura, and Jingliu were relatively close, and were only about a hundred meters away from Bai Yan.

Further away, about a kilometer from Bai Yan, three familiar figures stood in the distance.

Wow, so this is how it is here?

Behind him, Misterin's voice came, and she arrived beside Bai Yan in just a few steps.

Bai Yan looked around, but even after his companions came to his side, he still couldn't find the most crucial protagonist.

Kiana is missing.

"Did you sense it?"

Instead of discussing her whereabouts or offering any conjecture, Misterin asked Bai Yan this question.

Bai Yan shook his head. "No, it seems she hasn't reached that level yet."

"I see."

As they were talking, Durandal, Bronya, and Raiden Mei, who were in the distance, also came closer.

Where are Rita and the others?

Durandal asked directly.

"I sent Rita and Ragna back, and as far as I can tell, the others seemed to have left as the darkness dissipated."

Bai Yan looked at Fu Xuan.

The latter said calmly, "Just a trivial skill. That blond warrior, on the other hand, seems somewhat different from those who left."

Durandal looked at Bai Yan before her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

After learning of his plans, Durandal gradually sensed that something was amiss.

Summarizing Bai Yan's previous statements, there are too many contradictions within them.

When everyone faced Sakura, he said the only way was to make the most special Herrscher, Kiana, become the Finality to change everything.

But Bai Yan himself was carrying out the Stigmata Project.

Even if this is a safety net, there are far too many things he did that are unrelated to it, or even questionable.

Was it a deliberate attempt to provoke Kiana and push her in a predetermined direction?

According to the speculations of scientists Einstein and Tesla, if the method of letting Kiana take over the Finality works, then no one needs to make any sacrifices.

However, Kiana may lose her freedom for a considerable period of time.

At this moment, Raiden Mei was more resolute than Durandal.

She took a step forward and stared at Bai Yan.

I have some questions that I hope you can answer.

Bai Yan frowned. "If it's an outrageous question, I'm afraid I can't give an answer."

"No, it's just a very simple question,"

Raiden Mei looked serious, glanced at Fu Xuan and Jingliu, and said, "Although Otto never pursued this matter before, I'm very curious about where your master Jingliu and the other mysterious Fu Xuan came from?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yan's mind raced, but he still couldn't figure out why Raiden Mei had asked this question.

"They come from the universe outside our star system."

"However, I cannot provide specific routes, because our communication methods are a secret."

Upon hearing this, Raiden Mei's expression changed.

Bai Yan noticed this change and didn't know why she was reacting this way, but his instincts told him it wasn't a good thing.

"The infinitely vast universe,"

Raiden Mei's eyes were filled with complex emotions. "In fact, you don't really want the Stigmata Project to succeed, even though you're nominally carrying it out."

"Hmm? Why do you say that?"

Bai Yan narrowed his eyes and asked a question, pondering how to get her true thoughts out of her.

"Your ability to create fictional worlds is far beyond anything we could have imagined, yet you use this power to force us to find certain specific paths..."

"Whether it's me or Bronya, although we've completed our transformation, it's clear that we were both part of your plan."

"Even though this transformation is something we both need, I believe that everything is still under your control."

Bai Yan then asked, "What does this have to do with whether or not I'm willing to carry out the Stigmata Project?"

"It has a lot to do with it,"

Raiden Mei's expression became even more complicated. "If we assume your true purpose is to transfer people from Earth to other planets, then all your actions can be explained."

"..."

At this moment, Bai Yan had to admit that Raiden Mei's imagination was far more imaginative.

And there are no problems.

Regardless of whether taking over the Power of Finality is successful, as long as we can obtain a portion of that power, we can then deduce a feasible plan.

First, let Kiana go to Belobog to clean up the vast frozen plains; then let Bronya take action, using the power of the Herrscher of Truth to recreate the Creation Engine.

Anyway, there weren't many people on Belobog, so cramming a bunch of people up there to establish a new civilization... to be honest, King Amber actually thought these people did a pretty good job...

Perhaps sensing Bai Yan's thoughts, Fu Xuan said with great interest, "It is indeed a feasible plan. Did you go to Jarilo-VI back then for this?"

"..."

No! I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!

Bai Yan had never felt so wronged.

Raiden Mei immediately grasped the key point. "Jarilo-VI?"

"A nearly abandoned planet, largely covered in ice and snow due to its core and years of war, making it extremely difficult to survive—but with your strength, perhaps you really can carve out a habitable area."

Fu Xuan explained slowly, glancing at Bai Yan every now and then.

275:

Chapter 275 A Person's Name, A Tree's Shadow

Observing the expressions on both sides, Fu Xuan found the story increasingly interesting.

--This kid is really something, he actually started planning a way out for his civilization so early.

Putting aside other issues, this is indeed a grand undertaking.

"Speaking of which, the next Supreme Guardian of Belobog looks quite a bit like that little girl over there. Maybe you two will have a lot in common?"

Bai Yan thought to himself, "How could they be talented? Apart from their appearance and names, those two have absolutely nothing in common."

However, after Fu Xuan said this, Raiden Mei seemed even more certain of her previous guess.

If the Finality is inevitable, then escaping Earth becomes a viable option.

Moreover, judging from Fu Xuan's words, Bai Yan had already made arrangements there?

Bai Yan remained silent.

His excellent facial expression control allowed him to maintain a poker face throughout while simultaneously analyzing the unexpected situation in his mind.

After a moment, Bai Yan spoke calmly, "Why would you think of something like this?"

"You admit it?"

Is it really necessary to admit it or not?

"That's true. After all, you're a member of the Schicksal Intelligence Department. To be honest, it's a bit much to ask of you."

"So, in your opinion, what are the problems with this plan?"

Of course.

Raiden Mei took a deep breath.

In that brief Setsuna, she thought about many things, especially recalling some ancient history.

"To be honest, I don't care what kind of planet Jarilo-VI is."
