Chapter 1337: Chapter 1337: Stage Setup, ’Story’ Begins (Big Chapter Requesting Monthly Votes)

Main World

"The Savior’s actions have already gained the upper hand," a voice laughed in a wide office covered with some shadow, "The actions of the three organizations have all been seen through by us. As more and more Granters appear, the Great Savior is about to descend upon this world. This group of puppets aiding the enemy is finally going to meet their end."

"Hahaha, who would have thought that ’He Ao’ would run out of tricks so soon," a voice in the shadows responded, "We haven’t even exerted ourselves, and he’s already unable to cope."

"We Saviors are present in every corner of the world. Initially, everyone was scattered, naturally disrupted by their organized efforts. Now that we are gradually uniting the Saviors, the three organizations can do nothing against us." Another voice chuckled lowly.

"Haha," a voice sneered, "I originally thought that ’He Ao’ had some skills, but he’s just a fancy spearhead without substance, nothing but a straw man inside, unable to show any real flair."

"After all, we Saviors are united for the future of this world," another voice chimed in, "The three organizations are acting against the will of the people, and we are simply using influence to suppress, no matter how much they plan and strategize. In the face of the absolute trend, they are just like ants trying to shake a tree, overestimating themselves."

"I initially thought about testing this guy’s worth, but didn’t expect him to be at this level. It seems the old man is truly wise, knowing to remain unchanged in response to change. We haven’t truly taken action, and he’s already crushed himself." A cold voice echoed in the shadows.

"Speaking of which, that Order Knight is also laughable. I originally thought he was very formidable, but the Western Lands was the first place to be breached instead." Someone responded.

"Those Order Knights are still quite strong, but there are too few of them. Only a few came out from the Western Lands, and people in Central Earth probably don’t fully trust that He Ao, so they didn’t send out the Order Knights. If there were more of them, it would be a big trouble for us." A voice said gloomily.

"Even if they could really bring out a large number of Order Knights, we have nothing to fear. The trend is on our side. Once our influence is established, all these so-called knights would just be dust." A silhouette sneered coldly.

"That Evil God ’K’, scheming endlessly, will ultimately end up with nothing."

"We are about to save the world."

"The Great Savior will descend, surely leading us to the realm of eternal life."

"The great transformation is about to come, and all this glory belongs to us Saviors."

The crowd started to chime in, echoing each other’s words.

"I feel like I can already see the end of ’K’. "

"Hahahaha"

"Hahahaha"

"Hahahaha"

"Haha—who turned on the light?"

"Ah, my eyes."

"Aren’t we Saviors? Aren’t we here to save the world? Does our formal organization also need to stay in the shadows?"

"Turn off the light quickly, it’s too glaring."

"What do you know? This kind of shadowy environment better portrays the oppressive feeling of that twisted Evil God. I say... turn off the light quickly."

"I can’t see, why is the light so bright?"

Click—

"Alright, alright, finally it’s off. Shadows suit my eyes better."

"Who was just turning on the light?"

"A newcomer, doesn’t know yet, hasn’t fully integrated into the Great Savior’s call."

"Next time you make such a mistake, we’ll sacrifice you, no, just eat you up, hiss~"

"No harm done, no harm done. Our influence is established, the fate of the world is in our hands."

"Hahahaha"

"Hahahaha"

"Hahahaha"

"Something’s not right."

A deep and hoarse voice resonated from the deepest shadows, shattering the slightly hysterical laughter, silencing the entire space.

"Old sir?" A voice tried to ask.

"Though He Ao indeed cannot resist the great trend of our world-saving efforts, he has not made any effective countermeasures, which is inconsistent with his abilities and unlike how he would act in a desperate situation. There has been a change." The hoarse voice calmly spoke in everyone’s ears, "Immediately arrange personnel, we are going to Central Earth’s Beidu."

Inside the Velora

The silent train passed through the darkness, and He Ao’s body quietly stood within the empty carriage.

He raised his hand and opened his palm.

A mass of pitch-black ashes appeared from his hand, then slowly floated in the air, condensing into a pitch-black translucent page.

This page descended from the air, landing back into He Ao’s hand.

It was enveloped in flickering radiance, appearing very unstable, as if it might re-collapse into ashes at any moment.

He Ao gazed at this page, and with his gaze, a phantom sphere slowly emerged within it.

It seemed to be a simple two-dimensional image, grayish-white cities, and skyscrapers covering the sphere, with some faintly visible glowing dots above the sphere.

He Ao raised his hand, gently brushing over the space above this ’sphere,’ and the ’two-dimensional illusion’ resembling a painting slowly began to rotate under his gesture.

Gazing at the sphere in the page, He Ao at one moment even felt his consciousness being drawn into the book, dimly seeing skyscrapers, streets, artificially made parks and lakes, and a massive volcano converted into a landscape.

This was a ’planet,’ a ’planet’ existing in the past.

’Relic of the Bygone Days.’

This past flourishing illusion, after being destroyed by He Ao, was stored within the page of the Book of Bygone Days.

He Ao was already very familiar with the abilities of the Book of Bygone Days page.

By offering enough ’sacrifice’ or willing to pay a certain price, He Ao could summon the ’Past Illusions’ stored within the pages of the Book of Bygone Days to assist him in combat.

In the City of Rong Guang incident, he had used this item to summon the Evil Spirit Angel from the Relic of Bygone Days to fight for him.

Besides, he could also summon other Transcendents from the Relic of Bygone Days to fight for him, although none as powerful as the Evil Spirit Angel.

But in the Relic of Bygone Days that He Ao once ’experienced,’ there weren’t just these ’Transcendent beings.’

It was a complete planet, a ’prosperous’ planet existing before the relic civilization was utterly destroyed.

Though it was an illusion, it could still interact as if it had physical form.

He Ao’s feet could step on the ground, he could read books inside, and he could be attacked by items within.

The core of that Relic Planet was this page of the Book of Bygone Days in his hand.

He Ao’s gaze once again focused on the illusion within the page.

The shadow of that planet was also left within this page.

If the being that once created the Relic of Bygone Days could rely on this page to pull out a real ’Past Illusion.’

Then, could he?

The information that the Book of Bygone Days page transmitted to He Ao did not include this.

This page only told He Ao that it could be used to summon Past Illusions for combat.

Then, could Past Illusions only be ’living things’?

The information contained within Extraordinary Items is, in most cases, likely not the full capabilities of the items, and may even not be the correct way to use their abilities.

Especially those related to Higher Beings with mythical abilities.

He Ao had long understood this problem.

He Ao gazed at the page in his hand and took a deep breath.

He attempted to directly ’absorb’ something from it.

But what responded to him were merely illusory figures.

These were the Transcendents he had seen in the Relic of the Bygone Days, along with the three Evil Spirit Angels.

He tried different methods several times, but the response remained those figures.

He attempted to plunge his consciousness deeper, sensing the illusion within the Book of Bygone Days’ page, but when his consciousness passed through those illusions, all he felt was a void of emptiness.

It was as if there was nothing there, like the past forever lost upstream in the river of time.

Visible but untouchable.

He Ao withdrew his consciousness and gazed at the page in his hand.

The faint ’K’ character shimmered slowly on the translucent black page.

It was the Control Array he had inscribed into the page.

After a brief hesitation, he released his grip, allowing the page to float in the air once more.

And as it left his control, the translucent black page flickered more violently, as if it could shatter into ashes at any moment.

A kind of twisted pollution also accompanied this flickering frequency, spreading out.

He Ao quietly watched this twisted pollution, a thought flashed through his mind.

He raised his hand, gently touching the black page, touching the illusory past within it.

The flickering of the black page grew more intense, with slight cracks appearing on it, seemingly about to shatter in the next moment.

He Ao’s fingertip touched the surface of the page.

He concentrated all his will, channeling his every thought through the flickering Control Array, sinking into the page.

His finger met some resistance, as though it was a thin sheet of paper.

He Ao inhaled gently and pressed down with effort.

On the planetary illusion on the page, a stream of red, yellow, and blue light flashed by faintly.

The black page flickered while He Ao’s finger didn’t pierce through; it was as if it gently pierced through an ice surface, and his fingertip sunk into the ’page’.

At this instant, his thoughts seemed to entirely immerse in this page, as if being drawn into a hazy and indistinct dream.

The real and the illusory view overlapped in He Ao’s eyes.

The whole world seemed shrouded in a layer of mist, through which he seemed to see sprawling cities, witnessing bustling illusions.

It was as if he had returned to that era of the thriving relic civilization, seeing that splendid and resplendent civilization.

He lifted his ’foot’, attempting to walk through the hazy fog.

But no matter how he walked, the fog refused to disperse, and those illusions remained isolated near him.

At that instant, he sensed a blue light flashing across his field of view, heading toward a direction in the fog.

After a brief hesitation, he chased the blue light, ’running’ in that direction.

The speed of the blue light was incredibly fast, and He Ao had to exert all his effort to keep up with its pace.

He didn’t know how long he ran; He Ao only sensed the surrounding hazy illusions becoming clearer and clearer.

Then, his foot ’slipped’ and he found himself submerged in icy water.

The water surged into his nostrils, covering his body.

!

The intense suffocation awakened him abruptly from this illusory scene, and he raised his head to look at the page in front of him.

At some point, the planetary illusion within the page had turned a blue region toward him.

It was a lake.

And his finger had already fully sunk into the page.

He gently touched downward, feeling a cold sensation, it was ’water’.

Meanwhile, hazy visions emerged in his mind.

They were the ’regions’ he had just passed chasing the ’blue light’.

These hazy visions congregated in his mind, forming a fuzzy planet.

Then, the haze covering the planet gradually dissipated, transforming into clear architecture.

Everything about this planet was so ’clear’, clear enough that He Ao seemingly had completely seen this prosperous past.

Had that blue light just now helped him?

To completely ’extract’ items from the Relic of the Bygone Days, did he need a complete ’memory’ of the Relic of the Bygone Days in his mind?

He Ao’s gaze swept across the black page, a thought emerged in his mind, he gazed at the page before him, his hand deep within the page slowly clenched, and pulled outward.

The flowing water surged out like a fountain along his pulling hand, forming a water dragon in the air.

Then he stopped the movement of his hand; the surging water dragon seemed to lose its support, suddenly dropping down, spilling on the floor, leaving a puddle of water.

This was genuine ’water’, possessing the same properties as normal water, borrowed from the ’past’.

With a thought, the water stain on the floor instantly vanished, as if nothing had ever happened.

Like the Past Illusion, summoning inanimate items from the Book of Bygone Days’ page also required a price to maintain; the more summoned, the higher the price; once the cost stopped being paid, everything summoned would vanish immediately.

He Ao gazed at the page before him, gently lifted his hand.

A drop of water emerged from the page, falling onto his fingertip.

But it was enough.

All the elements required to set the ’stage’ were ready.

Hall of Research Institute 195

"Can this setup deceive that Starlight Silhouette?"

Li Cheng’s gaze swept over the thunder energy diffusing near the round table.

It was left deliberately before, disguised as if Andaville’s Spear had been ’decomposed’.

"I don’t know either," He Ao’s Hao Yi clone shook his head, looking at the round table before him, "all we can do is try to mislead him, but whether it succeeds or not, only fate will tell."

A brilliant glow illuminated before him, countless light points gathered into an agitated Array. He Ao looked at Li Cheng beside him, stepped back slightly, making way, "Let’s begin."

"Hope fate stands with us."

Watching the flickering light platform, Li Cheng stepped forward, placing Andaville’s Spear in his hand onto the round table.

Dong—Dong—Dong—

Resounding noises emerged from the giant egg, as if an ancient bell had tolled from bygone eras, the slumbering immortal lifted its eyelids slightly.

Large, terrifying azure light burst out from the cracks in the stone egg, falling onto Andaville’s Spear on the round table.
