"When you have the opportunity to make a choice, don't let yourself regret it. Once the move is made, there's no going back; the outcome has already changed."

Ye Yan stood up, then changed his posture.

"Wow... Anyone who didn't know better would think the [ Eternity ] Envoy Emanator to participate in a [ Wardance ], making it all so solemn."

Seeing this, Silver Wolf's lips twitched slightly. After all that fuss, he had only rolled over and still looked completely unconcerned.

"Waiting... that is the truth of Eternity."

"I don't believe it."

Meanwhile, three hours before the Wardance began...

In the Prison of Deep Seclusion, Lingsha, Dan Heng, and Jing Yuan are trying to glean clues from Borisin's attack.

"According to Yanqing Qingxiao's report, he discovered several Foxian of unknown origin at Starskiff Haven. After tracking them, he realized they were Borisin in disguise. This is the remains of one of them."

"As for his two accomplices... their bodies have not yet been found. The methods of the [ Eternity ] Walker are truly mysterious."

Dan Heng then considered another possibility: based on his impulsive accusation in March 7th, accusing Borisin of tampering with [ Destruction ], would those two accomplices still have any remains?

"Looking at him now, it's impossible to imagine that this guy could disguise himself as Foxian."

Dan Heng crouched down and carefully examined the body Borisin the wolf soldier.

"The alchemists detected some... complex medicinal components in his remains, which seem to explain why these Borisin could transform into Foxian."

"Simply put, Foxian and Borisin share the same origin. Although they now appear different, there is not much difference between them at the genetic level. This drug allows Borisin to temporarily change their form and appear as Foxian."

"In other words, once the other party stops taking the medication, they will soon reveal their true colors?" Dan Heng couldn't help but think of Phantylia, who had previously disguised himself as ' Tingyun '.

Well, back then, neither of them said anything to the other. Phantylia played Miss Tingyun, and Stellaron Hunters Kafka also transformed into an unknown blond passerby. He himself dressed up as Chair Blake.

The real Miss Tingyun was disguised as a blonde Acting Priest of the Church... Hmm, looking at it this way, there were quite a few golden elements in the Xianzhou Luofu back then.

Not to mention there's a dedicated butler who plays a role, making it a gathering of experts.

"The familiar recipe, the familiar method."

"Sigh~ [ The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus ] can't be completely eradicated. This time, the Alchemy Commission will probably be implicated again." Lingsha rubbed her temples.

"While examining the formulas they used, I discovered one ingredient, the [ Transmutation Arcanum ], specifically for spies to suppress signs of Mara-Struck and maintain their normal appearance. Comparing it with the medicine in Borisin's body—"

"I suppose these are the same thing?"

Lingsha nodded. "Yes, although the medicinal properties and ingredients are different, the principle is the same."

"Since ancient times, the Borisin have always pursued a stronger physical body, regarding the Foxian as weaklings. Now, in order to rescue the War Chief, these people are even willing to disguise themselves as Foxian... Their determination is truly remarkable."

After confirming that all the Borisin into the prison had taken disguised drugs, the group began to investigate after noting the nature of the drugs they had taken by using Lingsha to record them in the incense burner.

"Excuse my boldness, but is this Borisin really so ferocious?"

After hearing the description from the Ten Lords Judge, Lingsha felt that the light of [ Eternity ] was too dazzling, and that the priest who could reverse life and death was far more terrifying than Hoolay.

"I've lived longer than Miss Lingsha and experienced more battles. For the Alliance, the Borisin have always been the most troublesome enemy, while Hoolay is a monster that even the Borisin themselves fear."

"He single-handedly united numerous hunting groups, amassed a Abominations of Abundance, and repeatedly forced the Alliance's forces into perilous situations."

"More than seven hundred years ago, I accompanied my master on a campaign to vanquish the monstrous beast, and I witnessed firsthand the horrific scene on the battlefield after that colossal creature descended."

Jing Yuan recalled the scene, "Even after taking the medicine to suppress the Wolf Poison, countless Cloud Knights were still so terrified by his ferocious aura that they didn't even have the strength to raise their hands to resist..."

"If the former Sword Champion hadn't used Frostblade to block Hoolay's movements, the outcome would still be uncertain."

"At the end of that great battle, only a handful of people remained in the ranks. [ The Crimson Moon shone, and blood flew everywhere]... At that time, all that remained before our eyes was a sea of crimson."

"If that's the case, why wasn't he executed after subduing this beast? Why was he simply imprisoned instead?"

Lingsha said, "On the Zhuming Xianzhou, the judges threw the unforgivable and Abominations of Abundance into the calamity fire of the star."

"The so-called 'immortality' is just a title..."

Lingsha hesitated for a moment. Should she add, "Except for [ Eternity ]?"

Judging from Saileni's performance alone, even if she were truly killed, she would probably be able to revive on the spot within a few seconds, which already constitutes the so-called "immortality".

"Why did Luofu suppress this malignant tumor for so long, leading to the current unmanageable situation?"

"That's true. The people of Luofu have always been kind-hearted. Even with the tumor parasitizing the Alchemy Commission, they were reluctant to cut out flesh to treat the poison, but instead sent the physician who wanted to save him to the Zhuming Xianzhou."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan smiled helplessly, "It's clear that Miss Lingsha harbors resentment towards me."

" Jing Yuan bears undeniable responsibility for the resurgence of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. As for why that wretched creature, Hoolay, is only imprisoned... I can offer some explanation."

"I am but a physician, unaware of the past. I humbly request the General's guidance."

"Okay, let's talk about it slowly along the way."

The three men entered a cell. A prisoner lay on the ground, his face frozen in a mixture of joy at regaining his freedom and sudden shock at the moment of death.

"Before he died, someone bit open his artery and sucked out a large amount of blood. It was a truly brutal and cruel method..."

Lingsha stroked her chin. It seemed that the resurrection spell of the [ Church of Eternity ] only worked on the Cloud Knights at that time. She hadn't expected that this skill could also target specific individuals.

"Without fresh blood and flesh to consume, the Borisin will suffer from unbearable hunger and thirst. Although they are not Long-Life Species, they are closer to predatory beasts. I've heard that the Hoolay Prison of Deep Seclusion are forbidden from eating or drinking..."

"It's unimaginable. He hasn't eaten or drunk anything for over seven hundred years. He must have suppressed his hunger for a long time. I wonder if the hostage he took, Yaoqing, will survive?"

"This is the terrifying aspect of the Abominations of Abundance," Jing Yuan said solemnly. "By subjecting him to the Sword Tree Punishment, we were worn down by his life force, but his sentence became a test of our patience."

"As Miss Lingsha said, throwing the indestructible monster into a star would be a perfect solution. Unfortunately..."

"... Unfortunately, the Foxian wouldn't agree."

"Indeed, Hoolay's crimes were not limited to killing."

"In thousands of battles, we have tried our best to eradicate the Borisin, but with his evil magic of unknown origin, he has turned countless Foxian into his Voidranger: Reaver and beasts, and they have repeatedly returned."
