Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1301 The Last "Traveler"

To be promoted to the Old One, the Sequence 1 characteristics, uniqueness, and corresponding source qualities of oneself and the adjacent pathways are all indispensable. Except for the "Source Castle" and the "Chaos Sea", the remaining seven source qualities possessed by the Earth are sealed in the Western Continent. Conversely, almost all extraordinary characteristics are outside the seal.

Now Angel knows that this state was deliberately created by the "Celestial Lord" before his fall. "God" may have let it go and did not stop it. His purpose was to force other true gods to cultivate a "Lord of Mysteries" or "God" so that these two pillar-level Old Ones can lift the seal and release other source substances.

This gives the two pillars the possibility to wake up and revive.

Their plan was very effective. Now, there are only more than ten years left until the end of the world. The seven essences in the western continent are still sealed. Although the power of the essences in the "City of Disaster" and "River of Eternal Darkness" has leaked, it is not enough to cultivate the real Old Ones.

Therefore, before the Lord of Mysteries or God was born, even if Angel could control part of the power of the City of Disaster and could travel to the Western Continent in secret to meet several Source Essence masters, he could not truly become a "Destructive Disaster" before the seal was truly lifted, let alone other true gods.

Hearing Angel's question, the goddess' tone also lowered:

"At the end of the Dream Festival, I met the underworld man who suppressed the Blood Emperor and helped the Demon King's clone fall asleep. He was already dead when he entered the River of Eternal Darkness, but his consciousness had not yet truly merged into the source.

“With His help, I was able to initially deepen my connection with this essence, but I cannot utilize this power until the seal is truly lifted.

"Of course, the tributary river water that has leaked out of the seal is also higher than the true god, and can have an impact on the gods and even the old days, such as helping you fight against the negative side of the 'prime creator' in your dreams."

It's only a preliminary contact... It seems that before the seal is opened, even the goddess who has obtained the uniqueness of all adjacent paths cannot become the Old One. She can only make some preparations in advance. What about the other gods... Thinking of this, Angel continued to ask:
"Where's the God of Steam?"

The corners of the goddess' mouth curled up slightly and replied:
"From what I know, He has already contacted this generation of 'Heavenly Master', using the remaining pollution of the 'Wild Knowledge' sealed underground in Trier.

“But Yorgos Stiano was a little hesitant. When He became a god in the Fourth Epoch, He had not yet completely digested the Sequence 1 potion. After becoming a god, He had to fight more against the tendency to lose control and go crazy, so His condition was problematic until the Fifth Epoch.

"It was only after Roselle pushed the world into the Industrial Revolution that He changed His name from 'God of Craftsmen' to 'God of Steam and Machinery' and completely digested the potion of the Enlightener of Civilization. This may be the reason why He felt that His own state was not good enough and it would be difficult for Him to be promoted to the Old One in a short period of time."

It turns out that the God of Steam is called Yugus... Stiano is one of the angel families who have seen the "blasphemous slate"... Angel was a little surprised and murmured:

"But I remember that the 'Heavenly Master' in the Western Continent was also reluctant to become an Old One. Not only him, but all the Ones who have achieved the Dao are like this. Generation after generation of their predecessors have integrated themselves into the Source Essence with their bodies, and their consciousness and spirit remain in it. They cannot rest in peace unless a true Old One is born..."

The Night Goddess nodded slightly and said:

"Therefore, the Heavenly Master will definitely push Yugus to the throne so that all the Heavenly Masters of previous generations can be liberated. All we can do is help Him find the 'Hidden Sage' and obtain the uniqueness of the Hermit's Path."

Only uniqueness? Because the God of Steam already has a copy of the "Knowledge Emperor"? Angel nodded, indicating that he was about to do so.

Seeing this, the Goddess of Night continued:

“Besides that, the one in the best condition and with the greatest hope of becoming an Old One after the seal is lifted should be the ‘Black Emperor’.

"After the 'whirlpool', He successfully resurrected and solved the pollution problem of the fallen mother goddess. He also used this opportunity to get in touch with the Taoists of the 'Land of Disorder' in the western continent and the 'Emperors of Heaven' of all generations, and even came into contact with the power of the source essence.

"With this foundation, and the uniqueness of the Judge in His hand, once the seal is opened, He may be the first to become the Shadow of Order."

Having said this, the Goddess of Night paused before continuing:
"Of course, He also faces some problems. For example, the Kingdom of Disorder belongs to the source of the Outer Gods. The 'Uncertain Mist' may have some impact on Him, such as the spiritual remnants of past generations of people who have achieved the Tao within the source... But for a true God who has returned from the dead, these are not big problems."

The uniqueness of the Judge... That's my brass book... Angel opened his mouth, but thought that Annie had helped him a lot, so he didn't argue in the end, but continued to ask:

"Where are the Earth Mother and the Demon King?"

Apart from the two snakes of fate whose promotion to true god and accommodation of source essence depend on "timing", they are the only ones who have the hope of becoming the gods of the old days.

In the "Dream Festival", Angel learned that the "Demon King" Fabti separated a part of his "divine evil" characteristics and made it into an avatar hidden in the dream, guarded by the underworld people who suppressed Tudor. One purpose was to prevent the true god controlled by the "Mother Tree of Desire" from appearing in the barrier, and the other was to stabilize the state of this demon pathway sequence 0, so as to prevent the original God who once accommodated the "Shadow World" from affecting him and awakening from him.

In this case, can He really bear the burden of containing the Essence and becoming the Old One?

As expected, the Goddess of Night answered without hesitation:
"Fabti's condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad. He still needs the help of the Mother Goddess of the Earth to fight against the erosion of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'. In addition, God's consciousness also shows signs of awakening intermittently, which means that the pillar has not given up the effort to revive itself." Sure enough, as the end of the world approaches, the erosion of Fabuti will only become more and more serious. This is the problem that the six paths from the "Outer Gods" will face... Angel muttered, and suddenly realized something, and asked back:

"Mother Earth is helping Fabuti?"

A flash of lightning flashed through her mind, and she thought of the suspicion that she and Klein had previously had, and then she said:

"Lilith, the Earth Mother and the ancestor of vampires, is also a remnant of the Old Ones?"

The Goddess of Night smiled slightly and replied in a dreamlike tone:
"That's right. Lilith and Farbuti both came from that era like us. Of course, their ways of 'crossing' were different. They both survived the disaster caused by the awakening and splitting of the original Creator in their original bodies, and luckily survived by combining with certain extraordinary characteristics.

"I, Roselle, and your Fool are the means of resurrection arranged by the 'God'. Grisha came from the depths of the Chaos Sea and is one of the scripts written by 'God'... and you, perhaps, are the same."

The "City of Disaster" was once one of the source substances contained by that God, and my body is still inside it... Angel added silently, feeling relieved that his doubts had been answered.

She gathered her chaotic thoughts and asked:
"In the distant Second Era, you and the 'Ancient Sun God' helped the First Vampire to replace Omybella's identity. Now the Mother Earth Goddess is helping the 'Demon King'. Is it all because of this friendship?"

"Grisha needed to disrupt the situation for the sake of interests, and I also hoped that the 'God of War' would have a helper of my own by his side," the Goddess of Night replied. "Of course, if that were all, there would be more and simpler ways to achieve the goal, but that era in the past is our common memory and a critical period for the budding of our humanity... I don't know what Grisha thinks, but as for me, I would rather help fellow villagers who have the same mark."

That’s why “He” helped Klein and me… Angel nodded and returned to the topic:
"Lilith is increasingly being corrupted by the 'Fallen Mother Goddess'?"

"Now that the barrier is gradually weakening, it is increasingly difficult for Him to resist the power of the original owner of the 'mother nest' outside the barrier. Even the God-favored ones in the Church of the Earth Mother Goddess have repeatedly received wrong oracles. Only with the correction of the corresponding God-favored ones have they avoided making big mistakes."

The Night Goddess replied leisurely.

"This is related to his identity and fate as the goddess of harvest, Omybella, who replaced him in the Second Era. His innocent behavior at the time is now a foreshadowing of the deepening connection between the Fallen Mother Goddess and the Mother Nest..."

Because of the identity of "Omibella"? Angel suddenly thought of the cry he heard after seeing the "Gift of the Earth", a level 0 sealed object, in the underground of Silver City in the God-forsaken Land.

At that time, she mistakenly believed that the Mother Goddess of Earth had been contaminated by foreign gods, but now it seems that her guess was surprisingly correct.

"In this case, we may be missing two of our old friends..."

She said somewhat disappointedly.

Hearing this, the Goddess of Night shook her head slightly and said:
"The Old Ones outside the barrier may not be able to work together. They have different demands and currently lack avenues for cooperation. They may even engage in infighting after their attacks are thwarted. The numerical disadvantage is not a big problem.

"The key now is to make your 'Fool' win the battle against Amon. I will support him, and so should most gods. But his father may not back down."

The Battle of Sefirah Castle... Amon might soon become a true god of the dual paths. When He truly accepts the uniqueness of the "Gate" path, He will come to challenge Klein. At that time, Klein must become a god, and so must I... Angel's mind was full of thoughts, and he could only nod to show that he understood.

With the help of the fall of the "Original Witch", she has almost digested the first portion of the "Doomsday" potion in her body, and the remaining two properties require more acting. The current signs of the coming of doomsday help with digestion, but ultimately it still depends on bringing real destruction to other angels and even gods to achieve it.

"Hidden Sage", it's decided to be you... She made the decision silently.

……

When he returned to reality, Angel still remembered the last words of the Goddess of Night:

"Your 'Secret Holy Symbol' has regained my blessing. Go to the seal of the Kingdom of Night as soon as possible to solve the problem of 'Blood Emperor' Tudor. He has a 'Conqueror' trait in his body, and his status is not low. Ordinary angels cannot fight against him."

Tudor, the Hidden Sage, and Klein's path to godhood... Compared to before he entered the "Deep Dark Heaven" in the form of a dream, Angel felt that the burden on him was much heavier.

Before she could adjust her mood, she heard an illusory prayer:
"Your Majesty the Golden Queen, everyone in the 'Witch Cult' has decided to submit to you."

That's the voice of "Purple Witch" Eugenia!
