Chapter 2516: Chapter 1105: Guidance from the Ancient God of Death
"What about another one?" the Record Keeper spoke the first words upon entering the Bottomless Abyss.
Although he didn’t mention her by name, Gaven knew he was referring to the Burning Flames Queen.
Gaven did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "She has been summoned to Felen for a mission, and it will take some time for her to return. It’s not an intentional avoidance of the Record Keeper."
"She cannot escape either," the Record Keeper’s tone was flat, as if stating a fact. His cold, inhuman gaze fell upon Gaven, "You truly are the Destiny Disturber. Do you realize your actions are breaking Felen’s fate, pushing it into an unknown abyss?"
It’s here.
Gaven thought silently to himself. Naturally, he, the initiator, was placed last, which was inevitable.
"What is Felen’s fate?" Gaven attacked with his own spear, and defended with his own shield, "Knowing full well that Prince of Lies Shylock is unfit, yet he still wields terrifying power recklessly, is that the fate people on Felen must face?
Knowing that billions of innocent lives will become ashes in the near future due to the ambitions of those miracles, and still watching with eyes wide open, doing nothing, waiting for the so-called fate to arrive?"
In front of this Ancient God of Death, he did not hide anything. Although the other is just a demigod, he controls the Clergy of Fate. His knowledge of the future is above many mediums and even those with Strong Divine Power.
Years ago, he voluntarily gave up most of his Divine Nature Force, gifting it to Bane, Mikol, and Bal. Perhaps he foresaw a certain fate, realizing that if he continued to hold the Death Clergy, he would fall not in the hands of these three mortal adventurers, but due to the change of divine position. It was better to seize the opportunity and enter another fate.
"How do you know this isn’t the most favorable for Felen?" the Master of the End of All Things retorted.
The cold, heartless tone made Gaven shiver. The other’s narrow eyes were continuously shifting, and in a daze, he seemed to glimpse another apocalypse.
A blood moon obscured the sky, filled with endless terror and evil, descending upon the earth with the momentum of thunder.
Countless Giant Dragons flew wildly, their Dragon Breaths dealing devastating blows to armies and cities on the ground.
The earth was being Rended, fiery volcanoes rose and erupted, countless Demons emerged shouting arrogantly.
Without needing explanation, Gaven instantly understood the implication.
If Gaven truly succeeds in preventing the Arcane Catastrophe from descending upon Felen Continent, then the illusion he is seeing might become reality, becoming the new catastrophe to hit this continent, causing destruction even further beyond the Arcane Catastrophe.
This is also attacking with his own spear, and defending with his own shield.
Gaven believed that preventing the Arcane Catastrophe from arriving was beneficial to the entire Felen Continent.
But the development of things might not align entirely with his wishes.
This illusion shock only influenced Gaven for a moment, and he immediately responded: "What you mentioned is just one possibility. The true future is in our own hands. If the sky falls, I’ll mend it; if the ground cracks, I’ll repair it; if enemies come, I’ll drive them out."
His current thoughts differed from when he first reincarnated.
When he first reincarnated, he was more inclined to borrow power, seeking the strength of True Gods to prevent the Arcane Catastrophe.
But now, he plans to control everything in his own hands, grow stronger, and then interfere.
Relying on others is not as reliable as relying on oneself.
His thoughts dictate that the style between both parties is different, especially with those True Gods. They often consider their own interests, and when their interests conflict with mortals, mortals quickly become sacrifices.
"You’ve chosen a path full of thorns." The Record Keeper neither agreed with nor continued to prevent Gaven, but simply stated a fact like a cold observer.
"I will pave all the thorns along the way." Gaven replied defiantly.
Instead of succumbing to the illusion, he was filled with even more intense determination.
He had already proven through action that fate was not unchangeable but evolved continuously with his efforts.
Choosing to do nothing due to so-called fate would be the worst.
"Whatever you stir up in the Bottomless Abyss, I don’t care." The Record Keeper finally revealed the real purpose of his visit, "But some things must remain in the Bottomless Abyss and cannot be brought back to the Material Plane, or it will disrupt the death order of the Material Plane. Trust me, the scene is not something you wish to see."
"I understand." Gaven nodded deeply, "I hadn’t planned on deeply binding the Material Plane with the Bottomless Abyss, but I’m not very clear about this boundary. Could the Record Keeper kindly elaborate?"
The longer Gaven stayed in the Bottomless Abyss, the deeper his understanding grew.
Many things taken for granted here are disasters in the Material Plane, even those Slaughter Undead under his control.
This was initially revealed in the previous war with the Jackalwere.
The power of these Slaughter Undead is undeniable, showing strong destructive ability in both small-scale conflicts and large-scale wars.
But their bloodthirstiness and uncontrollability are equally notorious now.
