Final Truth

After the death of the Senro God, it rarely rained at this Sacrificial Ground.

But tonight's rain is so heavy it seems to bury everything.

Yi Weina huddled in the mud, letting the torrential rain wash away the bloodstains on her body. Her eyes were like a few burnt embers, devoid of any light.

Her hopes and her life were slipping away.

Why is the world the way it is?

She couldn't help but think that.

What exactly did they do wrong?

Yi Weina couldn't understand it.

Just then, the corpse beside her suddenly moved, and then Nick, who was supposed to be killed by A De, stood up unsteadily.

"Ah, there have been so many unexpected events." Nick sighed softly. "I never expected that his consciousness could last this long. It's unprecedented, so much so that we have to pay a greater price than we anticipated... but thankfully, the outcome hasn't changed."

Yi Weina glanced at Nick, her lips twitching slightly.

"What's wrong, Saintess?" Nick asked with a smile. "Is there anything else you want to say to me? Have you changed your mind and decided to submit to us?"

"... Let him go."

"Um?"

"Let him go," Yi Weina whispered. "Please don't kill it. Become your gods, please don't kill it."

"... Heh, you still think about him even now? That really surprises me, Saintess." Nick smiled and shook his head. "But unfortunately, that's just wishful thinking on your part. Of course, we won't kill the Saint; he's our future master. But I understand what you mean. That incompetent little dog you're hoping for will never come back, because it was just a foolish phase for the Saint on the eve of his awakening."

"Just like you humans eventually grow up, once you grow up, those childish ideas that you cared about as a child will never come back."

"He is about to become a god, so naturally he will no longer see the world through the eyes of a dog, do you understand, Saintess?"

Yi Weina bit her lower lip tightly, tears streaming down her face, only to be swallowed up by the torrential rain in an instant, leaving not a trace.

"Watch, Saintess." Nick also looked at the Hunter Statue in the distance and said with a light laugh, "The final awakening of the Saint, a new god will be born tonight. In any case, at least you are fortunate enough to witness it all."

As soon as he finished speaking, another male voice rang out behind him.

"But why do I have a feeling that tonight will be a grand funeral?"

Upon hearing the voice, Nick and Yi Weina both paused for a moment, then simultaneously turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voice originated.

Yi Weina, still lying in the mud, couldn't move as freely as Nick, and she couldn't see who was coming.

But she knew whose voice it was, so she used the last of her strength to shout at Rhine Father, whom she had never liked.

"Father Ulu! Please save A De, please save him... I beg you."

Nick's eyes quickly turned cold.

It was cold, yet tinged with a hint of apprehension.

"So you're still alive." Nick didn't dare to be negligent, so as he spoke, he quickly transformed into a wolf, Complete Wolf Transformation one. "Although you can't do anything at this point, but..."

In Yi Weina's view, Nick shed his grandmother's appearance and Complete Wolf Transformation into a three-headed giant wolf. He roared and charged at the approaching creature, as if about to unleash another extreme life-or-death battle.

However, after only a few seconds, there was no movement. Yi Weina could only hear footsteps approaching at a leisurely pace.

When Yi Weina looked up, Bai Wei was already standing in front of her.

"Father Ulu." Although she had recognized Bai Wei's voice long ago, it was only when she actually saw Bai Wei that Yi Weina felt like she had seen her last lifeline. "Go and save A De ... Ah, A De is Wei Ke, it has already gone to the Hunter Statue ... the Blood Healing Hunter Statue."

At this moment, Yi Weina, like A De before her, began to speak incoherently.

She wanted to tell Bai Wei everything that had happened during this time, but she was afraid of wasting time.

She also knew that if anyone could save A De now, it could only be Bai Wei.

Yi Weina hopes that Bai Wei can save A De again, just like the night before last, and bring A De back easily.

However, Bai Wei seemed not to hear her and did not immediately chase after A De as Yi Weina wished. Instead, he slowly bent down and used Rhine's healing spell to treat her injuries.

"No, don't worry about me," Yi Weina said through gritted teeth. "Go save A De! It's about to be devoured by the Saint, it's all Wildfire Cultist's conspiracy! And Wei Ke is already..."

"Wei Ke is dead," Bai Wei calmly interrupted Yi Weina. "He died a month ago."

Yi Weina was stunned.

How did Bai Wei know? And why was he so... calm?

Under Bai Wei's treatment, Yi Weina recovered most of her life, and her mind was no longer so muddled, so she was naturally able to think of more things.

"You..." She stared intently at Bai Wei, as if she had guessed something, her voice trembling, "You knew from the beginning?"

Bai Wei did not answer or continue treatment, but stopped after ensuring that Yi Weina would not die.

Yi Weina, no longer concerned about her own injuries, knew from Bai Wei's reaction that she was right.

"Why did you do this!" Yi Weina's voice was filled with disbelief. "You knew everything, why didn't you stop it?!"

"Because it will eventually wake up," Bai Wei said calmly. "This process is irreversible; you can't expect a healthy and strong person to sleep forever."

Yi Weina opened her mouth, then asked, "Then why don't you tell it the truth yourself?"

"Because the truth is not so easy to accept."

"But it knows now!" Yi Weina said. "And it has accepted... that it's not as weak as you think!"

"No," Bai Wei said, "It still doesn't know the whole truth, it still doesn't remember everything. There's still one last part missing, but it's also the cruelest part."

"... the final part?"

"Yes. It now believes that it left a month ago after eating the meat Wei Ke left for it, but..." Bai Wei looked into Yi Weina's eyes, "Did it really leave?"

Yi Weina's eyes widened little by little.

"So, there's only one last step left." Bai Wei slowly stood up, looked at the Hunter Statue in the distance, and said softly, "That's where the Final Truth lies."

I have a gastroscopy and colonoscopy tomorrow morning, and I have to get up at 3 a. m. tonight to take laxatives... What kind of karma have I created?
