Chapter 1085: Chapter 497: True Kirin Arm

The Medicinal Plant Gatherer took advantage of their mobility and quickly caught a dozen more dark cavern climbers, fitting all four of them with the creatures on their hands and feet.

Anyway, thanks to the Medicinal Plant Gatherer’s presence, the group smoothly passed through the most difficult area.

As they continued to move downward following the light and entered unexplored territory, Gege Wu, who was originally the guide, suddenly became less talkative, and most of the time it was the Medicinal Plant Gatherer who explained the things they had encountered in the last two days. Gege Wu followed closely behind, listening intently like an apprentice, occasionally murmuring in agreement.

[The Medicinal Plant Gatherer and Gege Wu were paving the way in front, while the three of you stayed behind, creating a distance of a few meters without speaking.]

[You overhear Ling Long and the Watchman whispering.]

["The young girl seems to have changed her verbal tic," the Watchman said.]

["Not just that, even her voice has become pinched," Ling Long chuckled stealthily.]

["I remember her saying she planned to live a solitary life, didn’t she?" the Watchman asked.]

["Ah, youth..."]

["Sigh, it’s good to be handsome..."]

...

Mu You watched the two gossiping in turn, speechlessly, without joining them.

Anyway, it seemed that Gege Wu had developed a budding interest in the Medicinal Plant Gatherer at first sight, which undoubtedly brought the situation closer to the future he knew so well.

This implied that the probability of the Lord of Calamity being an avatar of the Medicinal Plant Gatherer was quite high!

And the saint and the Rose Queen also resembled the remaining two avatars quite a bit; the three avatars just happened to correspond to the three kings’ predictions, which very likely could come true.

Mu You had actually accepted that the three avatars might separate from him eventually, but what he couldn’t understand was why the three avatars would end up fighting each other?

[...As you passed by a rugged cliff, you suddenly perceived fluctuations of Order Runes from somewhere above the cliff...]

While pondering, a prompt suddenly popped up in the game.

Mu You was startled and quickly controlled his character to stop and check.

[You took out the Pen of Order, activated the Order perspective, and saw about thirty meters up the cliff face an area where Order Runes were not blending well, but strangely, this area was not disorderly; in fact, it was quite meticulous.]

"Uh?" Mu You was surprised.

He had thought it would be like the time at the seaside in the Titan’s world, where they encountered some man-made hidden space due to disruption, but the Order here was even more orderly than the naturally formed Order...

You should know that any kind of man-made destruction tends to cause Order to become chaotic, and now, after being artificially handled, Order had instead become tidier, which meant there was only one possibility: the person manipulating the Order here was someone like him who controlled the Law of Order!

Who could it be?

Mu You first thought of the previous Order Successor.

However, he soon felt that something was amiss as this was four thousand years ago, an era when the Fool had just been born not too long ago, and whether that Order Successor had even appeared was uncertain.

Moreover, both Ormedo and Tina had already mentioned that since the birth of the Fool, only one Fool had come to Bitter Garden, and they had quickly fled under the strange assault, without the means to enter the dark caverns.

Thinking this, Mu You’s face showed surprise because ordinary followers of Order, even those elevated to Holy Spirit level, were unable to grasp and modify the Power of Order itself, as that was within the domain of the gods.

The only ones who could control the Law of Order, besides the Order Successor, were the God of Order themselves!

Could it be... that these were traces left by the God of Order themselves?

[Noticing you suddenly stopped, the four people ahead also promptly halted, turning back to look at you with puzzlement.]

["What’s wrong?" the Watchman inquired.]

[You informed the group that the Order here seemed abnormal.]

["Oh? Triggering an event again?" Ling Long was curious.]

[All three avatars understood your implication in a second, the only one who didn’t, Gege Wu, came over to feel the rock face above but still found nothing unusual and looked towards you with wonder.]

["How long will it take?" the Medicinal Plant Gatherer asked.]

["About a day..." you said.]

["That long?" all three were surprised.]

Mu You also felt a bit helpless; even with the extended effect brought by the Vampire’s Divine Speed factored in, this was still the conservative time he estimated.

After all, this wasn’t like the time by the seaside when he simply had to repair the chaotic Order; this was a rule modified by the God of Order himself. In terms of understanding the Law of Order, he couldn’t possibly surpass the God of Order themselves.

That meant he needed time to contemplate this piece of Order, only by understanding the purpose of the God of Order could he potentially decipher this place.

["You go on ahead, I’ll catch up after dealing with this," you said to the three avatars.]

If he had encountered this event somewhere else, Mu You might have chosen to do the important task first and come back to handle this later, but now that they were inside the dark caverns, any odd trace here could be linked to the ultimate root mutation; he had to stay and figure it out.

Fortunately, he had three avatars to help him with the exploration, so it wouldn’t delay the journey.

["But how will you find us afterward?" the Watchman asked.]

["Simple, with this." You took out three pieces of the Dawn City Map and handed them to the three avatars.]
