Miss Witch doesn't want to be a diva!.

Chapter 729: The Continuation of the Ancient Struggle
"Lord Tilan, someone wants to see you."

Under the soft gray-blue background wall, the girl was sitting cross-legged in a high-back chair, daydreaming about something. She woke up when she heard the sound coming from the transmission device on the table.

"The other party said that they were from Saint Casonas and had credentials from the Order."

"I see. Let him come over."

After a few minutes, the door of her office slid open, and two members dressed in white cloaks and silver wings came in with a man in dark blue robes.

He looked to be around 40 years old, with a mature face. The robe he wore seemed to be dyed using traditional techniques. The fabric was simple and durable. His strength was around Sequence 7, and he could be said to be a master figure in his faction.

"Hello." Since the guest was a guest, the girl did not put on airs. She walked down from the chair lightly and led the other party to the sofa nearby. Then the two of them sat opposite each other, and the two guards who came in stood by the girl.

"Hello, dear Miss Heshia." The other party first saluted with her hand on her chest, then raised her head and looked at the girl with a little curiosity.

Among all the singers, Tilan is the type who may not be eye-catching at first glance, but whose temperament is particularly distant and mysterious. She seldom wears exaggerated and complicated clothes, nor does she appear frequently on various social media. It can probably be understood that she is a quiet person who is not so ostentatious.

"I come from the sanctuary of Saint Casonas, and I have been commissioned by the Order to come and see you." He stated his intention directly.

"It has been nearly ten years since you last visited Saint Casonas. Many in the Order miss you greatly."

Miss? Tilan thought back to that short period of time. It seemed that she didn't have many close interactions with anyone, except for the Water Saint. But since the other party said so, there was no need to find fault. Just treat it as some kind of polite remark.

"During that time, I did receive a lot of teachings in Saint Casonas and acquired a lot of secret knowledge." Tilan responded, tilting her head slightly, curious about what the other party would say next. Could he ask her for funding or something like that? Although she is indeed a wealthy woman now, with countless funds.

Seeing that Tilan agreed and did not reject it coldly, the other party put aside his worries a little and continued to speak.

"Now that the great original angel's birthday is approaching, Saint Casonas is also preparing to hold a grand ceremony to celebrate, so I would like to invite you to participate."

So this is it. She thought it was some big deal.

"I understand, but I may not be able to spare the time to go there now. Please inform my assisting members of the specific process and time. If time permits, I will visit you."

"Thank you very much, Miss Heshia." The other party did not continue to invite or persuade, which surprised Tilan a little.

"Actually, this time I came here, I also received a commission from Lady Firuselin, asking me to bring you a letter." After saying that, he carefully took out a box from the inner layer of his robe.

When this quaint box was opened, a pearl with a silver-blue glow appeared inside, surrounded by a faint halo of mist.

Even without looking at the attributes of the letter, just looking at the quality and appearance of this pearl, it is a rare treasure. It can probably be considered a T2 grade high-end jewelry, the kind that sells for over a million dollars on the market.

Looking at the open box and the glowing pearls inside, Tilan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and took it.

Philuselin must not be looking for her to talk about some private conversation between girls. Given her status and strength, it must be no small matter for her to go to the extent of looking for her. So when Tilan saw the pearl, she was a little reluctant to accept it. She had a rare moment of free time recently and could stay here for a while and take a nap on the sofa occasionally. She really didn't want to get involved in the current complicated federal situation.

"I see. I'll look at it later." It seemed that inviting him to the ceremony was a cover-up, and sending the letter was the real business.

“I haven’t asked your name yet. It’s a rare opportunity for you to come to the Four-Leaf Crystal Star Region. Why don’t you stay here for a few days and tour around?” Tilan accepted the pearl and turned around to try to keep her.

"My name is Omis, and I'm a priest of the Water Temple. It's my honor to meet Miss Heshia." He agreed.

"Please help Mr. Omis arrange accommodation." Tilan looked up and asked the guard beside him to make arrangements.

"Yes."

Then the three of them left and the room returned to silence.

At this time, Tilan took out the pearl she had just received again, looked at the mist halo emitted from it, then closed her eyes and concentrated, allowing her perception to extend into it.

Fog, thick mist, blue swirling mist, this was Tilan's first feeling after her consciousness immersed in the pearl. If it were someone else, she would probably be confused by the mist, lose her direction, and keep circling in the maze-like swirling mist. But as a singer or witch with special powers, her spiritual will was like clear crystal, undisturbed, and sank all the way to the bottom of the vortex.

Passing through the thick, dark vortex, a faintly flickering light called out from the front. Her consciousness collided with the light, and then she seemed to hear the sound of something shattering.

Strange halo and mist spread in the room, enveloping Tilan. The mist made the girl sitting in it feel as if she had come to another world. In that world completely covered by water, the sky and water met in a distant place, and in this incomparably pure world of water and sky, stood a red-haired woman waiting.

She has long hair as fiery red as life, wears a classical white dress, holds a golden staff in her fingers, and stands in the water, like a quietly blooming red lotus.

"Long time no see, Tilan." After seeing Tilan, the other party looked up and spoke.

"I have deposited some memories and thoughts in the pearls to convey some information."

"It seems that I can't talk to you directly." Tilan felt that this way of communication was quite old-fashioned. After all, interstellar communication is now more popular, but the price is a little more expensive.

"Yes, but if Tilan wants, I can ask the Order to provide you with a special 'Holy Throne' so that we can talk directly." As if he had anticipated what questions Tilan would ask, the other party answered them here. "I'll consider it." Tilan wondered if her thoughts were so easy to guess.

"Now that you are here, let me tell you something." Philuselin's voice continued.

"A long, long time ago, humans had an extremely glorious era. It was an era when the concepts of the 'Mechanical Council' and the 'Original Heart' merged, and was later called the 'Age of the Transcendent'."

"In that era, humans reached an unprecedented peak, ruling the entire galaxy, occupying the Ocean of Aegir, and building a magnificent throne of God in the center of the galaxy as the cornerstone of civilization."

"Unfortunately, this era did not last forever. The tide of the Sea of ​​Eka caused a huge disaster, resulting in the annihilation of almost all the humans in the form of Transcendents living in the Sea of ​​Eka at that time. The fragments of their dead consciousness and extraordinary characteristics were also mixed together, and finally the virus-like monster 'Chaos Phantom' was born."

"Monsters evolved from the remnants of soul consciousness spread from the Sea of ​​Ekaka to the present world, causing tens of thousands of years of darkness. The remaining humans returned to Earth and rebuilt civilization. These survivors were called 'Sun of the Divine Wings'."

"Then human civilization revived and rose again, and went through the First Age, the Second Age, the Third Age... until now."

"The key point to mention here is the Fifth Era, which was an extremely chaotic and dark era. In order to fight against the Dark Sun, some survivors re-established the Mechanical Council in the center of the Milky Way. Afterwards, they failed and were destroyed several times, and then rebuilt again. The cult I belong to is a branch of it."

"The message I want to convey to you today is that the descendants of the Fifth Era Mechanical Council are not limited to my sect. There are other branches. Like us, they all believe in the Four Primordials and yearn for a more perfect and progressive future for mankind."

“However, although the ideal destination seems the same, the paths leading to it are very different. Before reaching the destination, no one knows which branch’s path is the right one. Perhaps even the most holy and wise Highness, the Pure Wind, will find it difficult to penetrate the mist of history.” It is hard to imagine that these were words spoken by the Saint of the Order, because such remarks are tantamount to questioning the authority of the highest worshiper.

"I have mentioned to you before the closest faction to our sect. They are now supporting Miss Blanche, and their influence and strength in the Western Star Region are far greater than before."

"Although we are somewhat hostile and mutually exclusive, the core of our beliefs actually all originate from the 'Original Heart' faction, which is to use some method to guide everyone together and gather into a powerful core. This is also the origin of the technology of the 'Throne of God'."

"But at the end of the Fifth Era, because of the huge pressure from the Dark Sun and the adverse consequences it caused, many people began to doubt and gradually distanced themselves from us. They firmly believed that if there was only one voice and will in a vast civilization, it would inevitably lead to bad consequences. They believed that it was necessary to maintain multiple voices and species, which was very consistent with the philosophy of the 'Tree of Life Sect' in history, so they called themselves its spiritual successors."

"What we need to mention is that the history of the birth of elves and fairies is the product of the descendants of the Mechanical Council accepting the ideas of the 'Tree of Life Sect'. The Sun of the Wings of God created many new species in the Garden of Eden era."

"So in the Federation, most of the elves are believers of the Tree of Life Sect. The most powerful product of the fusion of the Tree of Life Sect and the Original Heart is the Federation's singers. This is fundamentally different from the Dark Sun's fusion of the Original Heart with the Mechanical Council."

"After all this, are you confused? In short, although our 'Four Holy Churches' and the 'Seven Virtues Order' that supports Blanche have different philosophies, they all belong to the spirit of 'Original Heart'."

"But some branches are different from us. They have abandoned the ideals of the 'Original Heart' and are moving towards the idea of ​​the 'Deep Sea Union' that is most opposed to us. They reject the great unification and central theory. They are the most discrete factions that pursue freedom, even if they have to sacrifice strength for it. They do not force consensus, but allow internal divisions to continue and spread. What they pursue is eternal travel and wandering, and they will never stop."

"In the past few eras, the 'Deep Sea Alliance' faction has never been strong, but they have survived for a long time, and even continued the fire of human civilization when necessary. At the end of the Fifth Era, they made an indispensable contribution."

"However, with the establishment of the Federation and the reunification of mankind, they gradually faded away from everyone's sight. Now you can only see followers of their faction among the mermaids."

"Although they rarely appear in the public eye, it does not mean that they do not exist. They are like the dim lighthouse on the other side of the sea. When life is happy here, people will not think of taking the risk of crossing the sea to the other side. But once the social environment deteriorates to a certain extent, the lighthouse on the other side of the sea becomes particularly tempting."

"There will be people who hate this world of conflict. They would rather degenerate into fish and dive into the water, go to the deep sea and leave this noisy world."

"This is the difference between the 'Sons of the Sea' and the 'Sons of Man.'"

"In addition to the branch influenced by the concept of 'Deep Sea Alliance', there is another branch that is quite special..." Speaking of this, Philuselin looked solemn.

"They are a branch that completely inherited the philosophy of the Mechanical Council. It can even be said that the several Dark Suns at the end of the Fifth Era came from this branch."

"They once briefly controlled most of the galaxy. The dark sun of the four Skywing tribes was the most prominent representative of them."

"You may not understand why they, who are clearly the Dark Sun, still think they are followers of the Four Origins and yearn for a more perfect and progressive future for mankind?"

"Because in their eyes, they are not wrong. They believe that this is the most efficient and perfect model of civilization. Being strong is the best proof. Since they have not been able to defeat the 'Dark Sun', it means that the other party is right. So some members of the Mechanical Council have joined the path of the Dark Sun. They even achieved great results in the early stage and crushed and defeated the inferior 'Dark Sun' of the old era."

"This was an amazing feat at the time, and it attracted many members of the π Mechanical Council to join. In order to fight against them, the members who did not join later had to form the ρ Mechanical Council and follow a similar path."

"If you look at it in detail, the struggle between the various factions has been going on since the Twilight Era. The current Federation's Songstress is the product of the fusion of the 'Tree of Life Sect' and the 'Original Heart' faction. Other factions have not disappeared either. They are either hiding or combining with other factions to become branches with different philosophies."

“We all think we are on the right path, and no one knows which branch will actually reach the end.”

"The situation in the Federation is becoming increasingly chaotic, and members of various factions will gradually step out from behind the scenes to the forefront."

"Tilan, I see a lot of shadows of past branches in you. The specialness of your physique has a familiar aura to me. I know you are moving forward with good intentions, but I also sincerely remind you to stay sober and be careful about what happens in the future."

“Those once familiar names will once again emerge from the dust of history. They will practice their own ideas, lead and tear apart today’s civilization. At that time, a truly brutal struggle will inevitably come.”

“I hope you can be the hope of everyone, and keep a gentle and simple light in this dark night full of ravines.”
