Meanwhile, after the war in Jeju ended and the students headed to the city of Euspecers to rest,
the last Reverend Ping Tao Xin was still in the Western Continent, specifically in the Bai Ting clan, sitting on the clan leader's throne.
His gaze held a hint of boredom as he played chess.
The slow pace of events made him feel even more weary, and the exaggerated weakness of the world's entities made him wonder at the classism of its rulers.
Ping Tao Xin's expression was calm as he looked at the chessboard for several seconds before his expression almost changed.
A faint gleam appeared in his eyes for a split second, then a barely perceptible smile of enjoyment appeared as he held his hand, which was holding a chess piece, in mid-air for a second.
These were signs that indicated one thing: he was excited for some reason.
He then By smashing a chess piece, a white envelope, as white as a chess piece, was revealed. He murmured softly as he looked at the envelope, "Virtues, the Most High, Blessing of Heaven, Islabeth, what do you want?"
The Most High, Peng Tao Xin, opened the envelope with a somewhat skeptical and cautious look. The Most High, Blessing of Heaven, Islabeth, or Normana, was one of the most powerful and influential figures in the Ruler's Path.
Therefore, sending an envelope with the ability to conceal its contents until it was opened, even by someone claiming absolute power, was something strange and unfamiliar.
This made him realize one thing: the Most High, Blessing of Heaven, Islabeth, wanted him to do something, but he didn't yet know what it was.
[Today, May 28, 675, at 10 PM, at the Garden of the Angel of the End, where destinies meet, I request the presence of Master Peng Tao Xin, known as the Most High, Peng Tao Xin.]
Peng Tao Xin stared at the message for several seconds before He tried to burn it, only to discover it was incendiary, which annoyed him so much that he placed it in his own dimensional space.
He realized there was something strange about the message, something he didn't yet understand, and this prevented it from burning.
A faint smile appeared on his face as he looked towards the gate leading out of the Bai Ting clan's palace. "Well, let's see what this angel-dressed dictator wants from me."
He then stood up, the faint smile still clinging to his face, his gaze and smile as cold as ice.
In the Arctic, the Ice Demon Reverend Ligghard presided over the place considered the most dangerous of all. In the Central Continent, there was the Reverend Jalil, the Heavenly Blessing of Isabeleth, the Reverend of the Great Creation, Yuto (or Yuta), and the Tree Rulers, the Sacred Existence 12. In the Eastern Continent, there was the Reverend Zendaya, and the same applied to the Northern Continent and the Frozen Continent in the South.
In total, there were Twenty entities had reached Rank 4 of his wing, possessing undeniable authority, experience, and power. They were all part of the same world.
This made the Venerable Last Patch, Bing Tao Shen, feel threatened by the gathering of so many entities at the Grand Federation Palace. This palace, which only organized events every million years, was now just two centuries away. It was a unique occasion where such important and powerful figures converged.
A deep sigh escaped the Venerable Last Patch, Bing Tao Shen, as he left the Bai Ting Clan Palace. "Three years will feel longer than millions of years. Absolute power hidden beneath a mask of weakness. Hahahaha. The world is truly strange."
The Venerable Last Patch, Bing Tao Shen, tapped the air three times, causing an existence to shatter and reveal a crack.
"Let's see what you want from me, Venerable Jalil, Heavenly Blessing of Islabeth," the Venerable Last Patch, Bing Tao Shen, spoke with a hint of sarcasm as he entered the rift of existence, which closed as soon as he passed through.
In the forest A beautiful, existential rift appeared, through which Bing Tao Shen passed, creating an uneasy atmosphere for a few seconds before things returned to normal.
As he strolled through the Angel of the End Garden, where destinies converged, his gaze remained calm. His arms rested behind his back, which stood as straight as a spear, unshaken by the garden's beauty.
At the end, his mind was preoccupied with the invitation from the Venerable, the Heavenly Blessing of Isabelith. Although the invitation itself was a mandatory one, given his position as the ruler of one of the fruits of the Sacred Tree of Existence of this world and as a Level 4 Wing Master, the idea of fighting her seemed utterly insane.
The entity he was about to face was one who had unified the path of a ruler in its entirety and had fought several warriors who surpassed him in experience and strength, emerging victorious. This was enough for her to know his limits.
She was not the Venerable, the Star Hunter of Zendaya, to pretend she hadn't heard anything and ignore his words. He could die at any moment without even realizing he had been killed.
The Venerable, the Last Patch, Bing Tao Shen, paused for a few seconds while... He gazed at a statue of an angel holding a book in his left hand and a pen in his right.
Before continuing on to the place where the Venerable Majestic Blessing of Heaven Islabeth resided.
After several minutes, the Venerable Last Patch, Ping Tao Xin, stood before a beautiful greenhouse. Inside sat a woman who appeared to be in her twenties, elegantly dressed, with golden hair and green eyes, gazing at him with an unreadable expression.
He walked confidently into the greenhouse, his steps firm and full of strength. Standing before the One Unifier 6 and the Venerable Majestic 12, he knew that one must be careful in both speech and appearance to protect his life.
The Venerable Last Patch, Ping Tao Xin, bowed, holding her hand. "It is an honor to meet one of the One Unifier 6, the Venerable Majestic Blessing of Heaven Islabeth. I am the Venerable Last Patch, Ping Tao Xin, Master of the Fruit of Existence Realm of this Sacred Existence Tree."
The Venerable Majestic Blessing of Heaven Isabelth approached him with a sly expression and nodded, signaling him to sit.
He sat without saying a word, his expression confirming that something was wrong and that he was in real trouble.
"I heard that the Venerable Star Hunter Zendaya wants to kill my son, the Venerable Great Creator Yuto, or Yuta as he's known in this world. I told you this directly. Why didn't you kill her, Venerable Last Patch Master Bing Tao Shen? I want a convincing answer, or you'll see what happens to you."
Venerable Last Patch Master Bing Tao Shen stared at Isabelth's Venerable Sky Pool for several seconds without saying anything.
For, unlike his own natural birth, Yuto's birth was different. He was created from the union of the Twelve Wing Masters and theThose who were known as the unified wings, does this indicate a unified path for a ruler at the beginning? The 13th era, their unification lasting three full eras, is considered the longest period, and the venerable Majestic, or King Wings.
Moreover, the venerable Majestic, the Heavenly Blessing of Isabelith, or Normana at that time, was one of those entities. Therefore, it was logical for her to be upset by someone wanting to kill her son. After all, she is a mother and ready to do anything for him.
"The reason I didn't do anything is because Yuta himself leaves them. If he wanted to kill the venerable Star Hunter Zendaya, he would have returned to his body and killed her. But he didn't, and that means he has future plans. And you know your son well, Lord Isabelith." The words of the last venerable, Ping Tao Shen, were measured because the mentality of the Unifiers 6 is somewhat difficult to predict.
The venerable Majestic, the Heavenly Blessing of Isabelith, kept looking at him for several minutes as if trying to understand what lay beneath the surface. She let out a sigh before saying anything. "You're right. I've known Yuta well since the moment he was born." "70,000 years have accomplished many things."
"The Fantasy Empire has made itself an invincible place among the 26 Existential Paths. Currently, it doesn't concern itself with expanding its territory."
The Venerable Jalil Barakat, the Heavenly Isabelith, paused, her sharp gaze making him realize that what she was about to say was serious.
"Remember, there are 44 eras divided into only 3 phases. Twelve eras have known events, while 32 have been erased from existence and the world's narrative. No being who lived through those eras remains, except for the Guardians of the Tree of Existence, the Guardians of the 27 Paths. But even that doesn't mean they remember what happened."
A look of surprise crossed the face of the Venerable Jalil Barakat, the last of the Ping Tao Shen. It was common knowledge that the Ruler of Existence, the Rulers of the Trees of Existence, and their followers were all sacred. Why was she speaking of it in the manner of "Do you remember?"
It seemed ordinary, but to her, it held something she couldn't quite grasp.
He concluded that there was only one possibility: a distortion of the information everyone knew. His voice filled with emotion as he looked at her. "Yes, I remember, but where are you trying to get with this?"
A faint smile appeared on the face of the esteemed Jalil Baraka Samaa Izlabeth as she sipped her tea. "Do you know the code of the novel 'I Am Within My Own Novel: Dragon Angel Fantasy World' or not?"
"Survival of the fittest and a cheap family life—that's what's in the synopsis of the novel."
"I was reborn in a fantasy world of my own making, and I decided to live there and embark on adventures that blend innocence and family life with darkness and a merciless world. This is the story of my life in a world called 'Dragon Angel,' a fantasy world that blends angelic beauty and peace with the cruelty and savagery of a raging dragon, where survival of the fittest prevails, a world born from the womb of chaos where creation and destruction meet in one image. But the question remains: what will the life of the hero, Boutaleb, or Nobara, or Yuta, or Yuto, or even the Creator?"
The Venerable Jalil Barakat Sama'i Izlabeth continued to gaze at him without saying a word. This was truly what people perceived as a summary of the story.
"No, the law is a narrative, not a survival of the fittest. Don't believe everything written. The power the Wing Masters acquire at the end is a manipulation of the story's narrative. Moreover, perhaps the summary isn't the whole story, but rather a part of it. I have no summary of the story."
The Venerable Jalil Barakat Sama'i Izlabeth's eyes narrowed as he looked at her. It seemed trivial, naive, foolish, and exaggerated all at once.
"I'm joking, maybe not. So don't take my words too seriously. As for the eras..."
The Venerable Jalil Barakat Sama'i Izlabeth's expression turned serious as she looked at him, making him realize that the joking was over and it was time to be serious.
"In the real number of eras, there are 435 eras divided into three pre-beginning stages, each consisting of 15 eras." Each era consists of 15 periods, of which only 12 are known to the world. 145 are known only to a higher authority, and 85 are unknown to us. The remaining 193 are erased—anything related to them has been erased from the world's existence and narrative, and no being who lived through them remains.
During previous periods, the path of a ruler was unified 56 times. However, according to our records obtained by the venerable and revered Messenger of the Outcast Astratus, we learned that there were only 5 individuals who knew minor narratives because they did not unify the paths of 27 people.
They were able to conquer other stories and expand their empire beyond measure, becoming one of the most powerful empires in the story "I, the Great Outcast," which represents the true story of the world. As for me, within my story, it is merely a story within this story, nothing more.
The venerable and revered Ping Tao Xin looked at him without saying anything. He was aware that the world was full of secrets, hypocrisy, and monopolies, but telling him this information was extremely dangerous. This made him realize that they were in the beginning of the 15th period. Era 15
However, when history was lied about and monopolized, a question would arise in many minds. But for him, it was logical; knowledge is a weapon more dangerous than power.
The one who knows can become stronger and more dangerous than the ignorant. In this world, there is ignorant talent that develops, but at a natural, albeit weak, level. The one who knows reaches the same level of development, sometimes even better than a great talent.
And monopolizing history was the same. Some would say, "I was this, and I was that," and this would cause many conflicts to reclaim what they consider their right from previous eras. This makes their ignorance preferable to their knowledge.
Moreover, the winner writes history, a law known to all without exception.
The last lord, Ping Tao Shen, spoke while leisurely sipping his cup of tea. "Why are you telling me these things? Is there something you want to do? Furthermore, does it mean that Yuta doesn't know about this? He's the one who told his friends false information."
The lord, Jalil Baraka, laughed loudly while He listens to her words as he speaks, his tone tinged with sarcasm and a lingering laugh, "The difference between me and Yuta is as vast as heaven and earth. I don't mean to imply that Yuta is ignorant of his own existence; he can be spied on by entities that can read narratives, causing him to lie about reality."
"And narratives themselves operate in this way. They say roughly what the inhabitants of this fantasy world believe. Reinhardt wrote in his narratives that he holds the rank of Lord of the Gods, but in reality, he's ORR-05. Do you understand what I mean?"
"As for telling you this, it's because you are one of the Gods of the Fruit Tree of Joy.""The sacred one, so it's logical that you know more than that. We're not in a novel where we have to go along with understanding their pain."
"As for the Venerable Star Hunter Zendaya, she won't pose any threat to Yuta because she... I really don't understand. Is she a child or an absolute being?" The Venerable Star Hunter Zendaya's face showed a hint of confusion.
The Venerable Star Hunter Zendaya's actions were strange and completely unpredictable.
The Venerable Patch of the Last, Bing Tao Shen, rubbed his eyes as he sat on the table, having understood what that filthy whore meant—she who loved to try anything that seemed appealing, even to the point of killing and doing anything to achieve her goals.
"Let me guess, she changed her mind about killing Yuta because she wanted to have sex with him. He was so beautiful, he could satisfy her sexual desires as the Emperor of the Fantasy Empire that governs my existence. Is that right or not?"
The Venerable Star Hunter Zendaya remained silent for several seconds. It was unbelievable. Somewhat, especially since Yuto was married and that girl was very similar to him in her mentality when she wasn't around.
But with him, the equation was different. Their pain was disgusting, and the fact that Yuto would do anything for his own benefit, and that he had anticipated this, led him to continue developing the Eye of Spirit Manipulation and the Eye of Spirit Enslavement when he was on Jeju Island.
Therefore, the matter of having sex with her wasn't something impossible, and this was in the minds of both the venerable Jalil Barakat Al-Sama' Isabeleth and the venerable patch of the latter, Bing Tao Shen.
Ultimately, Yuto was the type who didn't care, unlike characters who have some boundaries, like sex and surrendering to worldly matters for fools, and who are preoccupied with higher things.
No, Yuto was the complete opposite. He did what he wanted, when he wanted. He married, had children, killed, raped women if necessary, and turned them into prostitutes, as he did with the real Kaito Ishikawa before implanting the Chameleon Spirit inside his body.
"So what?" "Will you stop her or what?" asked the Last Patch's Venerable, Bing Tao Shen, while looking at him with the analytical eye of someone searching for any hint of something, but his expression remained unchanged, filled with confidence, determination, and absolute authority.
"I don't care if something like this happened. It's Yuto's doing. It's impossible for her to change her mind unless he seduces them. Every girl who lays her head on his chest becomes almost completely dependent on him, and the same applies to Lucy, Kathalie, Previca, Beatrice, Shira, and Yulin. He's currently imprisoned by the Jinhai Fantasy Worlds Union. She's a beast by nature."
The Last Patch's Venerable, Bing Tao Shen, continued to look at him without saying anything. He had nothing to say this time, but he understood one thing: he was facing an entity that would do anything to achieve its goals, no matter how vile or indescribable.
He then stood up immediately, bowing while clenching his fist. "Take care of yourself, Venerable Jaleel, Blessing of Heaven, Isabeleth, and I apologize if I did anything you didn't like," the Venerable spoke. The Last Patch's Venerable, Bing Tao Shen, bowed respectfully before standing up again.
The Venerable, the Heavenly Blessing of Isabeleth, gazed at him silently for several seconds before speaking softly, "Pool Wing Absolute: Activate."
A golden orb appeared in her palm as she looked towards the Last Patch's Venerable, Bing Tao Shen, and spoke softly, "This is my blessing. It can only be used once, but it will save you from death or grant you something you never even dreamed of."
The orb moved towards the Last Patch's Venerable, Bing Tao Shen, merging with him to form two golden layers that lasted for several seconds before disappearing.
A smile of pure elation spread across the Last Patch's Venerable, Bing Tao Shen, as he looked at his body. The power of the Heavenly Blessing of Isabeleth's special wing was incredibly strong, and her wing was of the Support type.
"You may leave the Last Patch's Venerable, Bing Tao Shen, and I hope you will use it carefully, unlike the founder of the De Molière family, who used it to obtain the Quadruple System." Instead of receiving a wing that would have been a sign of his foolishness, he received no wings at all.
The Venerable of the Last Patch, Ping Tao Shen, departed. He wasn't the founder of the De Molière family, who prioritized his lineage over himself to become an absolute entity, but without wings.
The world doesn't favor fools. If you have a chance to develop or protect yourself, seize it. In this world, the method of survival or development doesn't matter; what matters is the outcome.
And this was something the Venerable of the Last Patch, Ping Tao, was aware of. He wouldn't do anything if it would benefit him in the long run.
