Chapter 58

Bronya's body continued to fall, and the surrounding buildings disappeared one by one, leaving her with nowhere to land.

She seemed to be truly falling into the deep sea, continuously descending.

The video ends here.

Bronya: "?! Did you just push him down? You didn't even tell me what the test was?"

If it weren't for Joachim's thick eyebrows and big eyes, which made him seem like a good person at first glance, Bronya would have doubted whether she had been fooled.

Pardofelis: "Being pushed off a cliff and learning unparalleled martial arts skills—isn't that how it's always portrayed in TV dramas?"

Kiana: "So, the Core of the Herrscher of Reason is Bronya's unparalleled divine power?"

The Herrscher of Reason: "Ah? That jinx!!!"

Shocking! Herrscher of Sentience never imagined that someone would actually treat that thing like a treasure and try to steal it.

What is the fate of Apponia in Chapter 93?

Herrscher of Reason: "Bronya, don't do anything rash. If all else fails, you can ask the Old Timer to teach you the Edge of Taixuan. Just don't touch that Herrscher of Reason Core."

Bronya: "Is it really as exaggerated as you say?"

Bronya doesn't understand why those Herrscher of Reason have such strong criticisms of the Herrscher of Reason Core.

Is obtaining the Herrscher of Reason Core truly a recipe for failure?

The Herrscher of Reason said, "If you don't believe me, ask the Old Timer."

Fu Hua: "Uh... it seems like every generation of Herrscher of Reason has a bit of bad luck."

Theresa: "Bronya, how about you give up the Herrscher of Reason Core and try another way to save your Seele?"

Bronya: "But I already have a three-day Herrscher of Reason Trial Card."

Now we're completely on a sinking ship.

Bronya remembered being happy for several days after the system rewarded her.

Elysia: "Cheer up, Bronya. Even if the Herrscher of Reason Core is an unreliable jinx, you still have Heavy Machinery Rabbit, right?"

Eden: "The Quantum Shadow is largely immune to ordinary weapons, can inflict effective damage. The Heavy Machinery Rabbit is probably no ordinary weapon either."

Bronya: "This is a gift from Seele, of course it can't be ordinary!"

Thinking this way, Bronya couldn't help but rush into the Sea of Quanta again, and after a chaotic rampage, she heroically rescued Seele.

Bronya: "Joachim wants me to experience three World Bubble before he'll allow me to enter the depths of the Sea of Quanta. I wish he could reveal more information."

Theresa: "Elysia, given your pioneers' research on the Sea of Quanta, aren't these three World Bubble quite dangerous?"

Elysia: "... It depends on luck."

Danzhu: "The Sea of Quanta contains all sorts of strange and wonderful worlds. It might be a comedic world like the Puppet Academy, or it might be a destructive world like Theresa."

Danzhu: "It all depends on which three Joachim left for Bronya."

Bronya: "... No, we can't panic, for Seele's sake!!!"

So what if we have to go through three World Bubble? So what if it's the Theresa Virus? Let's face it head-on!

Even Kiana can Deliverance as Deliverance wielding the Spacetime Leg Ring, so why can't Bronya?

Hehehe... When the time comes, Seele will definitely be captivated by her heroic and dashing appearance and obediently fall into her arms.

[Q&A begins.]

In the Previous Era Elysian Realm, Apponia tells Mei about her fate. What is Apponia's fate?

[A: Participated in the battle against the Finality, died in the final battle.]

[B: Enter the hibernation pod and wait for the day she awakens.]

[C: Transformed into heaven and earth, transformed into destiny itself, becoming part of the Previous Era Elysian Realm.]

[D: Imposing Precepts on oneself, making it impossible to awaken again.]

Theresa: "Previous Era Elysian Realm, and Apponia, who gave Mei the ten-day prophecy, you all surely know her fate, right?"

Danzhu: "Don't look at me like that. We're not like the Thirteen Flame-Chasers. How could we possibly know such secrets?"

Pardofelis: "Me? I don't know either. I only remember not seeing Sister Nia during the final battle."

Eden: "I heard that Apponia met with Vill-V one last time."

Before the Finality came, each of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers had their own mission, and Elysia had already perished before that.

Apponia herself is the most mysterious of them all, and the choices she made before the Finality are unknown to anyone but a few who knew the truth.

Bronya: "Based on the information provided by Pardo, we can at least rule out those who died in the Finality Battle..."

Elysia: "No need for analysis or elimination, I know, the answer is C."

[Correct answer.]

Without needing to delve any deeper, Elysia directly selected the correct answer.

Pardofelis: "Sister Elysia, how did you know? Didn't you know before us...?"

The cat started to say something, but couldn't get the rest out.

Elysia's fate was a blow to each of the Thirteen Flame-Chasers, and a loss to humanity of the Previous Era.

Elysia: "Because I love Apponia from the bottom of my heart, I love her deeply, so of course I know what choice she will make... Oh no, if Mei hears this, won't she be jealous?"

Raiden Mei: "Don't worry, it definitely won't happen."

[Congratulations to Elysia for obtaining the item: Life Coin.]

Another Life Coin has arrived. Elysia puts it in her pocket and waits silently for what the screen will display.

Elysia could guess Apponia's fate, and she also wanted to see her friend again.

[In the scene, Raiden Mei has finally arrived at the Deep, where Apponia is in front of her, making a praying gesture.]

"As you already know, I initially tried to grasp the concept of fate, but I failed; fate is irreversible."

"Later, I tried to change humanity with Precepts, thereby changing their path, but I failed; human nature remains unchanged."

"In the end, I wanted humanity to be isolated individuals, unaffected by one another, so that even if the end was inevitable, they could be happy and content. But I still failed; humanity cannot live alone."

Apponia recounts her repeated failures and her repeated feelings of helplessness.

Her tone was so calm, so calm that the guilt she carried was heartbreaking.

She also tried to change humanity, but humanity at that time seemed destined to push itself into the abyss, whether due to external or internal factors.

"That's right, I had almost given up all hope, just like you, I couldn't change anything. But... Miss Mei, you too have faced life and death, yet you haven't realized that before that moment arrives, humanity will always... gain a profound understanding of life and death."

"You... have found a new direction?" Mei asked incredulously.

"Yes, before the shadows fell, I thought of... there was still a direction I hadn't tried, because it was utterly impossible."

Apponia's tone remained calm, as if she weren't talking about her own affairs.

"If in that world I became heaven and earth, transformed into destiny itself, would I still be so powerless?"

Kiana: "That sounds amazing! I didn't understand much of it, but it just sounds incredible."

Transforming into heaven and earth, into destiny itself, I always feel that Apponia's grandeur is much higher than the Chakravartin that erupted before.

Eden: "Apponia, she was actually quite pitiful; her story was full of lamentations, and her footprints left only with sin."

Elysia: "As the only one who can see through fate, yet unable to change it, you can only imprison yourself in your own web. Poor Apponia, why do you do this?"

Elysia looked at the sorrowful people in the picture, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Transforming into fate, into heaven and earth, sounds mystical, but it's nothing more than a disguised form of suicide, a disguised form of imprisoning oneself forever.

Elysia didn't know what had made Apponia make this decision.

Perhaps burdened by sin, Apponia chose to Finality along with that era and the sins she committed within it.

Or perhaps, after her death, Apponia could no longer see fate, and she wanted to verify the trajectory of fate once again.

Elysia had no idea.

She felt nothing but resentment; the world had once again subjected the already pitiful and tragic Apponia to such a cruel fate.

To become part of heaven and earth, to become destiny, to become part of the Previous Era Elysian Realm — Elysia knew very well the price she had to pay.

But Apponia paid such a high price for just one answer.

Apponia, why are you doing this to yourself?

Pardo: "Sister Nia has it tough too. She always tries to use the Precepts with good intentions, but every time things go wrong and end up in terrible situations. I'm starting to wonder if those Precepts are poisonous."

Fu Hua: "Precepts is like a mental imprint, which can easily lead people astray. Human emotions are inherently complex, and once Precepts is Shackles, the human heart becomes simplistic and distorted."

The Herrscher of Reason said, "Even heroes like Flame-Chasers couldn't do anything about it, let alone ordinary people... Sigh, the Precepts are a jinx."

Poor Apponia, the heavens gave her the power of prophecy, and also the Precepts to govern humanity.

The effects of this equipment make her seem like a god or Deliverance.

In the end, fate was irreversible, and humanity was beyond redemption. What was originally a blessing became a deadly poison for Apponia, who deeply loved humanity.

Chakravartin: "Hypocrite! No matter how much Apponia prays, she cannot change the crimes she has committed, which have led me to commit them time and time again... time and time again!!!"

Chakravartin: "One day, I will find Apponia. She will pay for her crimes, and I will personally slay her!!!"

Theresa: "As expected, Chakravartin started to get agitated again as soon as he saw Apponia."

Pardofelis: "Wait, Brother Jie, calm down! The fire's about to reach my tail! It's on fire, it's already on fire!!!"

Pardofelis, who had been secretly approaching Chakravartin while wearing Invisibility Cloak, immediately became furious and quickly jumped away to distance herself from Chakravartin.

She was just there to buy some goods, why should she suffer this undeserved misfortune for no reason?!

The tail is good in every way; it helps maintain balance and can also be used to pick up food.

When it encounters Chakravartin wrathful rages, it can easily ignite if you're not careful, and it takes a long time to put out the fire on its tail.

Elysia: "Pardo, be careful next time you go shopping. Don't always go to Chakravartin's place. Come to Sister Elysia's, I'll give you a cat toy to play with."

Pardofelis: "Waaah, Sister Elysia, you're still the best!"

Having obtained the life-saving charm Pardo quickly ran towards Elysia, fearing that if she was too slow, the flames from Chakravartin's side would soon burn her again.

Six updates today.

P. S.: Opening a bounty at the beginning of the month is a bit risky. I owe thirty chapters from monthly votes and knife attacks. If you include the treasure chests that San San smashed herself, it will be around fifty chapters...

Now San San has to transform into Gokou Ruri. (Not knowing whether to laugh or cry.)

Chapter Ninety-Four: The Giant Fluttering Moth

Danzhu: "Pardo, are you alright? We can help you put out the fire if you need it."

Cang Xuan: "Don't worry, it's just a cat's tail on fire. We can handle this."

Pardofelis: "No need, I can do it myself. It's not the first time my tail has been set on fire after getting close to Brother Jie, I'm used to it."

Canned Food: "Meow~"

It sounds like a very heartbreaking story.

Pardofelis extinguished the fire on her tail and no longer dared to try to get closer to Chakravartin's place to buy goods, nor would she say anything to calm Chakravartin down.

After all, Chakravartin, in his rage, certainly wouldn't listen.

In the scene, Apponia remains in a praying posture, telling Raiden Mei about her past, her failures, and her choices.

To become the world and destiny itself is her only way home.

"You..."

The crazy idea startled Raiden Mei.

Transforming oneself into the universe, becoming part of the Previous Era Elysian Realm, is essentially no different from suicide, but Apponia did it anyway for the sake of that elusive answer in her heart.

"Alright, even if everything is already destined, I will still pray for you. Please take this last chance."
