Chapter 703
The pure white armor turned to look at Xia Er and spoke, “The other gods of existence, when combined with their ‘uniqueness,’ form a powerful and irresistible force.”
“You have merged with one aspect of that ‘uniqueness,’ effectively preventing its birth. However, it can still gather all other powers to directly erase you and start everything anew…”
Xia Er listened to the words of the pure white armor, and after a long pause, she gently nodded.
Indeed, she was not the only one with the power to “take back a move.”
The other side had it too.
Not only could Xia Er traverse one timeline after another to hunt down the minions, but those minions could also hunt down different versions of Xia Er across timelines, ultimately killing the Xia Er that existed in “reality.”
As long as they began to hunt Xia Er without regard for the cost, they would always find the timeline where she truly resided…
This could lead to an endless cycle of pursuit, much like what Salas had experienced.
“The Great Cataclysm’s occurrence indicates that during the time before the cataclysm associated with the Tower, at least one ‘symbiote’ existed, and it possessed the ability to trigger a great disaster…”
The pure white armor continued slowly, “Perhaps, killing that symbiote and intercepting the complete ‘seed’ at its source is the ultimate solution to everything…”
Xia Er listened to the pure white armor’s words and gently shook her head.
She had certainly considered this method, but its implementation was far too difficult.
The combat power of the old days was not something that could be so easily diminished.
Moreover, even if she managed to seize the “seed” of the god of existence, there was no guarantee that a new god of existence wouldn’t emerge hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years later.
Even if it wasn’t due to the god of existence, other “seeds” could give rise to different deities…
The world could descend into chaos, face destruction, or perhaps even become better… it all depended on the whims of those deities.
The “seed” was the root cause of all this.
Suddenly, Xia Er gained a new understanding of the significance of the other realm.
It seemed she understood why her past self had sealed all the “uniqueness” within that realm.
Though the methods used were somewhat crude, it was all aimed at sealing away all the “seeds.”
Such a rough sealing alone was insufficient; there had to be a powerful force to “supervise” these “seeds” sealed within the other realm…
If this were to succeed, the world would be split in two.
One would be the other realm, containing all the “seeds.”
The other would be the reality where ordinary people and extraordinary beings coexist.
In simpler terms, it would separate the “human realm” from the “divine realm.”
This was the ultimate solution.
The current other realm could influence reality to a certain extent; those with heightened inspiration in reality could perceive the phantoms of beings from the other realm through their spiritual sight, thus being affected.
What she needed to do was perfect the other realm and seal all the “seeds” within it.
To achieve this, she had to possess absolute power to suppress all “seeds.”
That is, before any other “seeds” could hatch into deities…
She had to become a deity first.
What she was up against was not just the “god of existence,” but all potential “seeds” that could catalyze the emergence of deities.
The so-called “god of existence” was merely the first one that could become a deity.
Understanding it this way clarified the existence of the other realm…
Moreover, Xia Er could comprehend why the god of existence had such an inherent contradiction with her.
“I want to go to the future,” Xia Er said slowly. “I want to see how the ‘god of existence’ is born and what consequences that birth will bring…”
The year 770 of the Holy Era, the year the god of existence was born… but Xia Er was unclear about the specific date or the manner of its birth.
“The minions must be captured alive or killed; I need more information…”
As she spoke, Xia Er turned to the pure white armor beside her and asked, “Salas… do you think you can help restore her mind or body?”
“I can give it a try…” The pure white armor nodded, looking at Xia Er. After a moment of hesitation, it asked, “Aren’t you worried? Killing a minion might disrupt the balance, leading to chaos in the real world.”
Xia Er fell silent.
She didn’t know if her actions were right.
What if the “god of existence” was a so-called “good deity”? Just like its minions claimed, it viewed all existing timelines as real worlds. What if, after its birth, it truly caused no destruction?
From its perspective, Xia Er might be seen as a demon continuously destroying worlds…
The words of that previous minion flashed through Xia Er’s mind, but she quickly dismissed the thought.
They were not benevolent.
The way it had its minions gather all timelines into the “Great Cataclysm” was telling enough.
In its eyes, the world, the extraordinary, humanity, and destruction were all trivial; what it desired was simply to eliminate all other ascendants, erase all “seeds,” and be born smoothly…
Xia Er was wavering, trying to convince herself that she possessed a greater righteousness than the other side.
“Xia Er…”
A weak voice broke through, and she turned to see Lei Mei De Si looking at her with emerald eyes.
“You’re right… don’t hesitate.”
Lei Mei De Si tilted her head slightly, her golden curls cascading down as she spoke with a hint of confusion, “I don’t know why… but seeing your expression… I just felt the need to tell you this…”
**Chapter 359: Why Do You Call Me?**
Lei Mei De Si herself didn’t know what she was saying.
Her mind was a haze.
Yet, when she saw Xia Er’s expression, her instincts told her she had to say this… just like before, these fragmented memories couldn’t connect.
Xia Er was momentarily taken aback by Lei Mei De Si’s words.
From the slightly dazed look in Lei Mei De Si’s eyes, she could tell that the girl had no idea what she was saying.
However, hearing affirmation from this “old friend” boosted Xia Er’s confidence in her judgment.
Xia Er smiled gently at Lei Mei De Si and said, “Okay.”
Lei Mei De Si looked at Xia Er, unsure why she suddenly smiled, but she still managed to return a somewhat stiff smile.
“If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know,” the pure white armor said, looking at Xia Er.
From a certain perspective, the interests of the pure white armor and Xia Er aligned.
To understand her origins, she needed to grasp the connections between the Tower era, the Great Cataclysm, and the other realm.
If the “god of existence” were to descend into reality, everything would become a mirage.
At that point, not only the Tower era but everything within the other realm could turn to ashes, and the pure white armor would never again understand why it was doing all this.
It didn’t want to go mad in solitude, lost and confused, only to perish.
“I will,” Xia Er nodded.
The silver figurine representing Xia Er paused for a moment; the red runes on her face dimmed slightly, then brightened again. After glancing at the pure white armor, she said, “I need to leave for a bit; there are some matters to attend to.”
“Alright,” the pure white armor nodded.
“By the way, I still don’t know your name. What should I call you?” Xia Er asked, looking back at the pure white armor.
“Me?” The question caught the pure white armor off guard for a moment, then it slowly replied, “I don’t know…”
“Then let’s call you ‘Xi Luo’ for now,” Xia Er said with a smile. “Is that okay?”
“Xi Luo…” White steam shot out from the seams of the pure white armor, and it nodded. “That works…”
The pure white armor seemed momentarily confused by the meaning of the name, simply thinking it was a pleasant-sounding name in Ansu language.
Perhaps only Xia Er understood why she chose this name; in her original world, it was a transliteration of “white” from a certain island nation.
It suited the pure white armor’s gleaming white exterior perfectly.
