Chapter 1211: Chapter 1211: Secrets from 34 Years Ago (Request for Monthly Pass)

[Document Date: July 24, Year 725]

[Damn it, I fell into their trap. These insane stargazers, their combat power is ridiculously strong, and they don’t care about their lives. Cost me so many of my people—should’ve skinned them alive, pulled out their tendons, and rendered human oil to light a damn lamp.]

[Document Date: July 25, Year 725]

[Oh? There’s an Extraordinary Item, B-level, Tree Heart of the Eternal Tree. What the hell is this thing? Calming and focusing? Isn’t that a goddamn negative status effect? With this thing, how am I supposed to enjoy the thrill of slaughter? Those Order weaklings have hundreds of schemes in their heads—this item might be tainted. Otherwise, there’s no way those stargazers could’ve let me snatch it so easily.]

[Can’t open it myself—should let a Divine Envoy examine it when the chance arises.]

[Document Date: July 28, Year 725]

[The stargazers have fled, ha! Guess they finally recognized my power. Damn it, sooner or later, I’ll settle the score with those Order weaklings. This position—they definitely leaked it to me on purpose. Using me as their knife? They’re not qualified for such games.]

[Damn rodents—they left nothing behind. Whatever. At least I got that B-level Extraordinary Item. Need to assess the risks, though.]

[Document Date: August 2, Year 725]

[Something’s off with the Church lately. Why are these bastards being so polite? Weird. The great power within me is still here—but still, weird.]

[Document Date: August 7, Year 725]

[Some idiot suggested I set up a system of rewards and punishments, even build a cohesive combat force—an organization that worships the God of Chaos. Are they insane? If there’s order, how the hell can there be chaos? What’s wrong with their brains? Their faith is clearly shaken—skin them alive and render oil.]

[Document Date: August 14, Year 725]

[Things are getting stranger by the day. The base has gone eerily quiet. Those normally loud brats—recently they’ve stopped talking. Even during kills, they’re less frenzied—and they’ve started wearing suits. These guys aren’t right. Something’s definitely off.]

[Document Date: August 15, Year 725]

[Checked out that damn Tree Heart. Information dealers say it’s the heart of trees growing in a space called the River of Eternal Flow. Those bastards claim the River of Eternal Flow doesn’t exist in the real world. Only through sacrifices to the God of Order might one gain entry to it.]

[’Walking the river’s end or origin leads to the Kingdom of God of Order.’ Bullshit legend. I’ve heard plenty of such stories. And to charge me five million for this intel? Those information peddlers better not end up in my hands—they’ll all be rendered into oil someday.]

[Gotta keep this cursed item locked in the warehouse. Warned the guards not to open the jade box. They’re no match for the contamination inside—ha.]

[This thing is eerie. Forget waiting for a Divine Envoy—I need to find a way to sell this for a good price.]

[Document Date: August 19, Year 725]

[They’re mad—completely mad—huff—. They’re actually planning to kill me and restructure a Chaos Church with order! These lunatics, ah, insane bastards.]

[I’ll kill them all—all of them—render every one of them into oil!]

[Document Date: August 20, Year 725]

[Hahaha—fight me? The favor of the Divine Being is with me, and I’m about to ascend and evolve. Who the hell are you all? Starting a separate Chaos Church? Pfft—look at yourselves before even dreaming of it.]

[I need to check if the stuff in the warehouse is still there. Is that damn Tree Heart still in place? Something’s off—very off. I need to grab my treasures and get out of here.]

[Document Date: August 25, Year 725]

[Ha, here’s Limen City? This tiny dump of a city—Ains’ satellite town? That’s all? And I’ve already come this far east?]

[Maybe I should’ve waited at the base? I already left a message for the Divine Envoy—they should be coming soon.]

[No, I can’t wait for the Divine Envoy. After everything I’ve done—all the killings, disrupting the Church of Chaos’ order—they’ll definitely want to kill me.]

[I need to keep going east. There’s something there that can protect me.]

[Where’s all my stuff? Why do I only have this jade box left?]

[Document Date: August 30, Year 725]

[That mountain range looks alluring—damn it, my head hurts. No, no—I shouldn’t have come here. I should’ve sought help.]

[The Divine Envoy can help me—where’s the Divine Envoy? Where are they?]

[Who is the Divine Envoy?]

[Document Date: September 10, Year 725]

[Met some fools—the Fundamentalists? Absolute faith in chaos? What a bunch of idiots—hilarious.]

[Don’t they realize that only a Chaos Church with an organized structure can better create true chaos?]

[Whatever—might as well render them into oil. Hm, maybe that’s a bit too barbaric—yeah, too savage. Need to figure out another method.]

[I ought to educate these idiots somehow.]

[Right—that cursed Tree Heart. It could do the job. Crack it open for these morons—maybe enlighten them a bit, get their brains to see the light.]

[Document Date: October 9, Year 725]

[These breathtaking mountains—this is the perfect spot for a new base. Surrounding exotic beasts are a nuisance, but after dealing with them, it’ll be fine.]

[Alright—this is my new home now.]

[Document Date: October 16, Year 725]

[This forest and its surroundings—an excellent place. There’s something drawing me here, pulling me in. That unsettling feeling has vanished—a relaxed, comfortable day at last.]

[But where exactly did that unease come from? Is something still lingering around me?]

[That feeling—like a great chaotic presence. Could it be something? My favor?]

[No way, ridiculous. I’m a resolute believer in great chaos—time to recruit new followers.]

A racing aircraft streaked across the wasteland. He Ao lifted his wristband, rapidly scrolling through the diary on it.

The later entries were noticeably sporadic—sometimes months, or even years would pass without a new entry.

Most of the content focused on the development of this Chaos Church—which He Ao had already reviewed in Eve’s earlier reports.

But among the entries, two contained mentions of ’new items’:

[Document Date: March 10, Year 726]

[Should the barrier be constructed this way? I’ll still leave a Chaos Art backdoor.]

[Even if it’s not necessary—I should still leave one. Just in case—yes, just in case.]

······

[Document Date: January 19, Year 736]

[Haha—caught someone from the Order Church. Didn’t kill him—sent him back to deliver a message to their masters. We can collaborate.]

[He seemed quite shocked? For the sake of achieving great chaos—what’s so surprising? Anyone can collaborate. Maybe I could form a powerful alliance solely aiming for chaos?]

······

As the entries continued, the audio diary intervals grew even longer.

The diary was stored in Denock’s personal computer, which had been linked to the base’s public network—hacked by Eve in conjunction.

The last audio diary Eve could find was from five years ago.

The entire folder’s last access timestamp was also from five years ago.

Since then, there had been no new audio entries—it was as if Denock had completely forgotten about them.

He Ao’s gaze swept through all of the diaries before flipping back to their earliest sections.

This part recorded Denock’s initial reason for leaving his original dwelling.

For unknown reasons, the computer didn’t contain any earlier diaries—perhaps Denock misplaced them, or maybe, under certain influences, he deleted them entirely.

After all, the previous diaries documented his time as a complete chaotic believer. From a mystical standpoint, these diaries might serve as certain ’anchors’ to awaken the ’self.’

Denock likely left the audio diaries for this very purpose.

Unfortunately, when faced with strong enough ’mutation,’ he couldn’t even preserve these diaries.

The remaining entries predominantly revolved around the ’Tree Heart of the Eternal Tree.’

The initial entries contained the densest information.

First, Denock was a chaotic believer, representing the Chaos Church. The insane stargazers he mentioned most likely referred to another secretive organization that worshiped stars and the starry sky.

This secretive group attacked the Order Church’s convoy disguised as Chaos Church members and obtained certain artifacts.

If not for prior investigations, He Ao might have associated these ’insane stargazers’ with another Cult that worshiped the Emperor of the Starry Sky.

That was a Cult Organization Nock had once eradicated.

But this Cult didn’t actually worship the starry sky—instead, they believed in an Evil God whose name included ’starry sky.’ They revered ’emperors’ rather than celestial phenomena and operated as highly collective fanatics.

Through prior investigation, however, He Ao already identified another genuinely star-worshiping secret group: the Starlight Worshipers.

Their Divine Being was the Lord of the Starry Sky, and they showed distinct behaviors of celestial veneration.

Crucially, their ruins were located just west of Limen City—matching the dates and locations of Denock’s diary entries.

From Denock’s later entries, his original residence aligned closely with Limen City’s west side near Ains.

He Ao glanced at the jade box cradled in Xiya’s arms.

This jade box was plundered by Denock from the Starlight Worshipers, potentially an artifact protected under Order Church’s convoy.

The serial number on the jade box identified it as being under the guardianship of the Star Cluster Pharmaceutical Security Force.

Does this conflict?

Perhaps not.

Based on Nock’s understanding, the Order Church might parasitize Federation elites, intertwining with prominent financial establishments. They might even have embedded themselves partially in large-scale conglomerates.

Thirty-four summers ago, the Star Cluster Pharmaceutical Security Force was indeed safeguarding items for the Order Church.

From Denock’s diary, it’s apparent this convoy was ambushed by Starlight Worshipers masquerading as Chaos Church members, wiped out, and the cargo stolen.

Later, realizing their impersonation, Denock’s Chaos Church retaliated against the Starlight Worshipers—obtaining the Tree Heart of Eternal Tree in the process.

However, the battle did not yield absolute victory for the Chaos Church, leading to significant casualties.

This was the apparent sequence of events.

But beneath the surface?

The Federal Bureau of Investigation records reveal that an anonymous entity reviewed Starlight Worshiper data on July 19.

The Chaos Church launched their assault against the Worshipers on July 23.

A thought expanded in He Ao’s mind.

The FBI had possibly tracked the Starlight Worshiper movements as early as July 19.

Yet, despite the Chaos Church raid four days later, the FBI remained ’uninformed,’ failing to uncover the truth for months—if not decades.

No subsequent developments were documented within federal files.

He Ao’s hands clenched, veins protruding.

Xiya nervously looked at the figure in front of her. In those fleeting moments, she sensed an overwhelming sadness coupled with irrepressible killing intent—a suffocating aura that almost strangled her breath.

Soon, however, those emotions stabilized, and the strangling presence swiftly receded.

Regaining composure, Xiya glanced at her companion’s shadow. She opened her mouth to inquire but eventually said nothing—instead, quietly moving closer, standing by his side.

He Ao drew a shallow breath, his gaze returning to the wristband.

Denock may have learned about the Starlight Worshipers from information deliberately leaked by the Order Church.

Effectively inciting conflict between Chaos Church and the Worshipers.

Clearly, the Order Church knew the factual circumstances surrounding this incident.

But instead of reclaiming the cargo themselves, they orchestrated the Chaos Church to loot it.

The Chaos Church wouldn’t relinquish the stolen artifacts—and they would likely eliminate any witnesses.

Perhaps the Order Church’s true objective was clearing out all associated parties.

The convoy’s cargo might hold little significance. Ensuring complete secrecy, however—paramount.

Chaos Church was the ideal tool for such a task. This gang of maniacs cared little for hidden layers—they sought only the visceral thrill of killing.

The Order Church probably even planned follow-up measures targeting Denock’s faction. After all, the Federation requires no excuses to eradicate Chaos Church entities.

But unexpectedly, the Order Church’s gambit misfired. Despite operating under B-level Extraordinary leadership, Chaos Church failed to outright defeat the Starlight Worshipers—escaping only with portions of their cargo.

From Denock’s diary, by July 28, as he prepared to retaliate, the Worshipers had already evacuated the area.

Within this four to five-day span, did the Starlight Worshipers recognize certain truths or were overwhelmed by Chaos Church’s strength, forcing them to flee?

Denock’s confidence in launching a renewed assault suggested his Chaos faction possessed greater firepower than the Worshipers.

Indicating that, despite repelling Chaos Church’s initial strike, the Worshipers incurred significant losses.

This situation aligns closely with traces uncovered from the Starlight Worshipers’ ruins west of Limen City.

Their escape from Chaos Church may have succeeded, but it wouldn’t necessarily shield them from the reach of the Order Church.

Was the Order Church preoccupied pursuing them during the subsequent month?

This, however, wouldn’t prevent them from leveraging federal forces against the diminished Chaos Church survivors.

Did the Order Church verify that the Chaos faction harbored no pivotal intelligence—avoiding immediate and full eradication? Or were they aware of potential hazards linked to the Tree Heart of Eternal Tree?

Were they unconcerned about retrieving the Tree Heart artifact itself?

From this perspective, the Tree Heart might not have been the foremost key tied to the cargo.

Soon after, Denock’s Chaos Church succumbed entirely to the artifact’s pollution—mutating uncontrollably.

If such contamination was deemed tertiary or expendable to the primary cargo’s secret, what was the true focal artifact or knowledge?

How did Nock’s mother fit into this puzzle?

Nock received news of ’missing persons,’ not bodies—indicating kidnappings ensued.

Absent within Denock’s diary was any mention of encountering convoy personnel—either indicative of disregard or their absence entirely.

If convoy members were genuinely absent, what then was their ultimate fate?

He Ao lowered the wristband, shifting his focus toward the opaque wilderness.

Perhaps those mysteries could only be unraveled by interrogating surviving Starlight Worshipers—or confronting Order Church insiders knowledgeable about the historical facts.
