"Therefore, if you are willing to cease interfering and allow the final ' Re-Creation ' to occur naturally, I,..."
"Further words are useless," Blake interrupted Lygus. "Now that you know the opposition between [ Eternity ] and [ Destruction ], and have made the wrong choice, do you still expect the Church to let you off the hook?"
"Between you and me... there has never been any bargaining chip." Blake's voice turned cold. "Using [ Erudition ] to buy time is pointless."
"I have fully sensed the resolve in your words. Since negotiations have broken down, there is no need for us to continue talking."
"This meeting was not entirely without value; your visit has left a new mark on this prison. As for its significance—I'm sure you understand it better than I do."
Lygus continued his steady performance, almost leaving Blake completely bewildered. Trying to communicate normally with these geniuses... he might as well be the elven priest's translator.
However, because he was imprisoned by [ Eternity ], this genius seemed unaware of the earth-shattering changes that had taken place in Amphoreus...
This is understandable, given the incredible power of the [ Eternity ] Lygus. While the [ Eternity ] wielder Emanator couldn't traverse different points in time throughout the universe, freely entering and exiting within a single Scepter was certainly possible.
Therefore, Blake placed the other members of the Church of Eternity in different time periods of Amphoreus, ostensibly to give employees paid leave to experience the colorful scenery along the way.
Just as Lygus said: patience is their most powerful weapon. Time is but a fleeting moment for [ Eternity ], freezing their own state... in other words, there will be no negative buffs.
Hmm... I wonder how the Church is doing under the Acting Priest. Once this [ Eternity ] journey is over, there will definitely be a big reward when we return. A raise and promotion to become the second Church Chair will no longer be a dream!
After some time, [ Eternity Holy City ] Okhema
Xing and his group arrived at the Cloud Stone Heavenly Palace Bathing Beach as promised.
The milk tea shop was cleaned up by March 7th and looks much better now. All the grime that couldn't be wiped off was covered up with the all-purpose Six-Phased Ice, ensuring that customers wouldn't notice anything amiss!
"Where have you three been? We've been waiting here for ages, we can't even flap our wings anymore." Tribbie waved at the three of them.
"We encountered some trouble, but fortunately it was resolved," Dan Heng explained.
After spending a happy time with the Earth Beast, Xing and Dan Heng saw that there was nowhere left to explore in Okhema, so they simply returned to the milk tea shop to help March 7th manage it.
It has to be said, this milk tea shop is like magic; as long as you're inside...
"Yawn~"
"By the way, Ms. Tribbie, do you go online?"
Xing was very Curiosity. Although they had already added each other on communication, none of the Chrysos Heirs had taken the initiative to chat with her, making it impossible for her to get any information out of them.
"You're really well-informed! You even know about Abyss Web? Young people are so energetic! But we're so busy today, 'we' don't have any free time."
That's good. Surfing the internet isn't a good habit.
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Tribbie didn't understand, but business was important. "Let's go, hopefully Aya won't get impatient."
Tribbie took on the role of guide, introducing the group as they walked:
"By the way, you can see Abyss of Fate from here. It's a great spot for taking pictures." She trotted over to the pavilion and pointed to the buildings shrouded in mist in the distance.
"Look— the Gate of Myriad Paths! It's quite obvious, isn't it? That's where 'we' met."
" Amphoreus has a magnificent landscape; it must have been a beautiful, fairyland-like world in the past... Hmm?"
The three of them turned around in unison, staring at Tribbie was still giving her introduction.
"There's nothing we can do. The past can't be relived, but 'we' can follow the Prophecy forward... Hey? You're listening so attentively."
Tribbie saw the three of them like this, she thought they were engrossed in the lesson, and her nose tingled with emotion. They were all such good children...
" The Gate of Myriad Paths?"
"Yeah! What's wrong?" Tribbie tilted her head to look at March 7th, whose expression was the most exaggerated. "If you don't understand anything, be sure to ask! 'We' will patiently answer your questions!"
"N-nothing... it's nothing." Xing's tone was a little stiff. [ The Gate of Myriad Paths ], such a familiar phrase... this Amphoreus is getting more and more outrageous.
"The past cannot be relived? Yet you clearly demonstrated the miracles of Oronyx."
"These are two concepts," Tribbie explained. "'We' merely receive a share of the power of the ' Veil of Eternal Night ' through prayer, retrieving what is necessary from the 'past' and making it our own. It's not about time reversal."
"In contrast, your little hourglass is the one that can turn back time, isn't it?"
Xing glanced down at the hourglass necklace. Now that you mention it, it really is... Wait, didn't she just mention that familiar word again?
[ The Veil of Eternal Night ], [ The Gate of Myriad Paths ]... These are Ye Yan's two most frequently used moves, and each one is more powerful than the last.
Hearing these two sentences from Tribbie now makes it hard not to wonder what's going on. Is it a legacy left by Teacher Ye Yan?
Instead of letting my imagination run wild, I should just ask honestly: Xing is that kind of person. Combined with what Phainon said earlier, Ye Yan, disguised as ' Lycurgus '...
"Teacher Tribbie, if I may ask, do you know anyone named ' Lycurgus '?"
"Hmm?" Tribbie thought for a moment, " Lycurgus... Hmm, never heard of him before, is he one of your companions?"
"Um... what about the [ Flipping Coin ]?"
Xing took out the coin that Ye Yan had given him and showed it to Tribbie.
Tribbie's pupils dilated slightly. "Huh? You... you've already met Little Fei'er?"
"Wow... I'm completely confused."
March 7th covered her head, forgetting all about Little Fei'er; she felt like there were many stars flying in the sky...
"Please excuse my ignorance; this is just the currency we had at the previous stop."
Feeling a sense that something terrible might happen if things continued like this, Dan Heng quickly skipped the topic and chose to use the all-purpose excuse of " the World Beyond the Sky " to brush it off.
"Nevertheless, the Oronyx's Prayer also goes against the laws of physics as we know them."
Dan Heng chose to continue the previous topic. Asking Tribbie now would be useless. He realized once again that the information the Chrysos Heirs possessed was definitely inaccurate.
Ye Yan couldn't possibly favor Phainon alone; Castorice, whom he had met a few times before, also possessed faint fluctuations of [ Eternity ] energy.
"Teacher Dan Heng, that's not right of you," March 7th chimed in. "You already have a [god], why are you still bothered by this?"
Even gods must follow the fundamental logic of the world; I'm still trying to understand Amphoreus.
