Chapter 1133: Chaos Approaches
Blood and… desire?
Eivass, holding the Heavenly Envoy Fragment of the Blood Heavenly Envoy, fell into deep thought.
Speaking of the Blood Heavenly Envoy, it was indeed tormented by its own unfulfilled desires. The Children of the Moon, in the final analysis, were also a result of uncontrolled desires…
They were like the Extraordinary beings on the Path of Love, mixing various desires such as lust, gluttony, and the desire to kill. It was precisely because they were controlled by their strong thirst for blood that they committed so many sins.
Among humans, there were also naturally born “Children of the Beast” like Lily, who possessed the “talent” for easily committing crimes. For them, it often required greater effort than others to cleanse themselves of sin… Was this not also a kind of psychological disability?
It was precisely with this authority that the Blood Heavenly Envoy created the Children of the Moon, a race that made people wary and hostile towards them.
“Lingering hatred…”
Eivass murmured softly.
Why did he feel… that Alistair would prefer the domain of desire over the domain of blood?
“You guessed correctly.”
Alistair’s hushed whisper echoed in Eivass’s ear, “Master…”
The warm and rustling whisper caused Eivass to shiver slightly.
Eivass, somewhat annoyed, manifested Alistair’s Illusion Card and flicked it with a bended finger. The card produced a metallic clang, and Alistair let out a wronged “Woo!”
At this moment, the dispersed power of the Blood Heavenly Envoy finally spread across the entire world.
The Sandglass’s announcement resounded from the clouds:
[The Path of Love has surpassed its limit, and the Material Realm is about to ascend—]
The voice of the Sandglass simultaneously appeared in the minds of all Extraordinary beings:
[From today onwards, the difficulty of Ascension Rituals for breaking through to the Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier will be reduced by half a Tier.]
[The Ascension Ritual for breaking through to the Seventh Tier on the Path of Love will be conducted solely through the Eclipse Ritual.]
[The power of love boils completely, and the nine rivers of the Path become even more turbulent—]
[From today onwards, even mortals who have not mastered Extraordinary knowledge have an extremely minuscule chance of possessing Extraordinary Power due to intense emotional fluctuations;]
[Extraordinary beings of Third Tier or above will no longer experience a decline in fertility rates due to their high Tier;]
[The fertility rate of all races will increase by 10%; races with lower fertility rates than humans will have an additional 10% increase;]
[Extraordinary beings of paths other than the Path of Love can also increase their “Blood Qi” through rituals, potions, and other means.]
[The barrier between the Dream Realm and the Material Realm has weakened, and Extraordinary beings of Third Tier or above may come into contact with Phantom Demons in the Dream Realm while dreaming.]
[—The Law of Equilibrium has been updated, and a new equilibrium point has been established.]
As the Sandglass’s voice faded, the Extraordinary beings realized one thing:
The version has been updated again.
“…This world is going to be chaotic.”
Sherlock closed his eyes and sighed.
He was the one who could see the situation most clearly.
Before, the Fallen Heavenly Envoy descended, followed by the Transcendent Path surpassing the limit of the Material Realm—although some would connect these events, this was not absolute.
It was not a great secret that the Father’s state was becoming increasingly abnormal; any Third Tier with astrological abilities could sense it. The surge of transcendent power also had precursors before the Fallen Heavenly Envoy descended.
When the Ouroboros Ring ritual was not fully disclosed, the logic of “Heavenly Envoy Descent” leading to “Path Level Cap Increase” could only be deduced from a divine perspective. For most Extraordinary beings, these two events had no direct logical connection; some even reasoned the opposite, believing that the Father’s transcendent characteristics were too active, which led to the Fallen Heavenly Envoy descending to the Material Realm.
…It wasn’t entirely wrong, though. Strictly speaking, this reasoning was even correct.
But now, the situation was completely different.
Heavenly Envoys had descended twice in succession, for the Transcendent Path and the Path of Love, respectively. The Tier cap also increased twice, precisely for the Transcendent Path and the Path of Love, and the討伐 of Heavenly Envoys and the Tier increase occurred together.
A single instance proves nothing—but now, this was no longer a single instance.
Many ambitious individuals began to entertain their own schemes.
The Heavenly Envoys did not seem to be as strong as they thought.
When the Fallen Heavenly Envoy descended, the Pope mobilized the armies of several countries—but these armies were not the core combat force, and they were defeated before they could even properly engage the Heavenly Envoy; now, the Blood Heavenly Envoy descended… and was resolved so quietly.
Even the Extraordinary beings native to the Iris Flower were completely unaware of who dealt with the Blood Heavenly Envoy. This was because the Blood Heavenly Envoy did not occupy any territory but hid after killing the Children of the Moon, even retracting the initially blood-red sky. Unlike the Fallen Heavenly Envoy, it did not seal off the territory, preventing entry and exit…
Could the Fallen Heavenly Envoy have been the exception?
Furthermore, since Extraordinary beings in the Material Realm could also resist Heavenly Envoys—and even defeat them twice—it indicated that Heavenly Envoys were not invincible!
Look at the Blood Heavenly Envoy, it didn’t even cause much destruction to the Iris Flower, but instead did a good deed!
A supremely good deed!
All those Children of the Moon were wiped out by the Blood Heavenly Envoy itself—although no one knew who summoned the Blood Heavenly Envoy, it certainly couldn’t have been the Children of the Moon, right? After all, while the Children of the Moon were insane, they were not foolish. They wouldn’t invite someone to exterminate themselves, would they?
And if no one asked the Blood Heavenly Envoy to do this, how could the Blood Heavenly Envoy have wiped out its own descendants and followers for no reason?
This means that if one could obtain this ritual, one could ask a Heavenly Envoy to help them accomplish something?
And if a Heavenly Envoy could be defeated, then the level cap of that path for the entire world could be raised?
…Doesn’t it seem like both outcomes are good?
Then what about the price?
The latest novel is first published on 69shuba.com!
It seems the price is not very high!
“If I’m not mistaken… Heavenly Envoys should be continuously pulled down by the Ouroboros Ring ritual from now on.”
Sherlock glanced at Eivass, “Is this also your half-body’s conspiracy?”
“One does not worry about poverty, but about inequality…”
Eivass nodded slowly, “Currently, the world situation is basically peaceful. And peace means stability… but this stability does not mean the absence of contradictions; rather, it means that all parties have reached a balanced state.
“And now, the unbanning of the Transcendent Path and the Path of Love will undoubtedly disrupt this balance.”
Just like countries ruled by one or two paths, such as the Iris Flower or Avalon. Even the Southern Continent, which had no concept of countries, was the same—
The Trolls were mostly on the Transcendent Path, while Goblins were usually Extraordinary beings of the Path of Wisdom or Path of Balance. Currently, neither Wisdom nor Balance had been unbanned, but the Transcendent Path had been unbanned… This meant that the Southern Continent would soon be in chaos.
This was like the Native Americans during the colonization of the Americas, who suddenly had divine intervention, with everyone understanding superpowers, and even their tribal leaders could summon meteors and cause plagues, while the colonists still used firearms from a backward era; or like during the Triangular Trade, when Black people suddenly gained Wakandan technology…
Then the situation would naturally reverse immediately, and the offensive and defensive roles would switch accordingly.
The Goblin merchants would naturally not accept this situation where “our operations were going smoothly, and then the opponent suddenly opened up.”
How would they resolve this problem?
By now, this question was self-evident.
“—They will perform the Ouroboros Ring.”
Sherlock replied, “To restore balance to the situation.”
That is, they would find a way to bring down a Heavenly Envoy of the Path of Wisdom or Path of Balance—and since there was currently no Heavenly Envoy for the Path of Balance, they could only bring down a Heavenly Envoy of the Path of Wisdom.
To be more precise, that would be the Geometric Heavenly.
—Sherlock could even name the victim!
Although Sherlock himself was on the Path of Wisdom and would ultimately benefit from this… he dared not imagine the extent of the disaster this would cause.
“Not only that.”
Eivass shook his head, “As long as this news spreads… the Path of Devotion will also be only a matter of time.”
“…The Church should not.”
Sherlock did not instinctively retort Eivass, but rather thought seriously, “You mean, because the Children of the Moon summoned the Blood Heavenly Envoy, resulting in their own extermination… No, they don’t know that it was the Children of the Moon who summoned the Blood Heavenly Envoy. So, could the Horus people directly summon the Xi Heavenly Envoy to prevent the tragedy of the Iris Flower from happening to them?”
“It’s not that.”
Eivass narrowed his eyes, “I’m talking about the Dwarves in the Northern Mountain Range.”
