After expressing his admiration, Xie Bai turned to look at Silvanus beside him.

"By the way, Silvanus. Do you have any plans here, like dealing with some secrets that are not widely known?"

Upon hearing this, Silvanus turned his head in confusion and stared at Xie Bai with a puzzled expression.

"What...is that?"

"My usual task is to use my own power to regulate the nature of this place, so that the development work here can be easier. In addition, I also help deal with attacks from jungle monsters."

Faced with Silvanus's puzzled gaze, Xie Bai slowly looked away.

"Uh... I see. That's pretty good."

After saying that, Xie Bai found a seat and sat down, preparing to wait for Krissos to finish eating, while pondering the current situation of the Western Continent.

"It seems that Silvanus and the others are unaware of Thanatos's secrets and are the ones who are in the public eye."

"Secretly, it's been divided into two lines: the Knight's Resting Place and the Ruins. And judging from Thanatos's previous behavior, we'll probably need to deal with the Ruins first before we can find the Resting Place... Speaking of which, does he really not need my help?"

Thinking of this, Xie Bai took the Book of Truth out of his backpack.

"I've never seen that ruin before. Why don't we just ask the Book of Truth? Perhaps we can get the answer directly from there?"

I just recently received an upgrade in privileges, so I thought I'd take this opportunity to see if the Book of Truth could reveal more information.

As if sensing Xie Bai's thoughts, the Book of Truth suddenly opened on its own in Xie Bai's hand and finally stopped on a page.

[Legends of the Past - The Wheel of Fortune]

"Huh? It actually worked! I never thought this book would finally come in handy."

After his initial surprise, Xie Bai immediately looked at the following content.

[An ancient organization founded in the Third Age, whose sole purpose is to unravel the power of the God of Fate.]

[Twenty-two known members: The Fool, The Magician, The Priestess, The Queen, The Emperor, The Pope, The Lovers, The Chariot, Strength, The Hermit, The Wheel of Fortune, Justice, The Hanged Man, Death, Temperance, The Devil, The Tower, The Star, The Moon, The Sun, Judgment, The World]

[The Wheel of Fortune is the core element, responsible for exploring possibilities beyond destiny.]

[Achievements achieved: Breaking the God of Fate's power to arbitrarily write the story's direction, breaking the God of Fate's power to view the entire story, breaking the God of Fate's power to correct errors in the story at any time]

[Currently, all members of this organization are no longer in this world, presumably having found a loophole in fate and broken free from the story framework anchored by the god of destiny.]

Xie Bai blinked as he looked at the information provided by the Book of Truth.

"Isn't this just the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot? Even the order is exactly the same."

However, this seems to be within expectations.

When she first saw the game's name, "Wheel of Fortune," she probably should have realized that it might be related to the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot.

"but…"

Xie Bai's gaze fell on the last line.

Are all members no longer in this world?

So they've all run away?

No wonder Thanatos and his men found ruins; it turns out the people there were no longer alive.

But then another question arises: when will these people run away?

Was it when Ivy seized control of her destiny, or when she rose to power, or perhaps some earlier opportunity?

But regardless of when they ran away, Xie Bai was already certain of one thing.

"No wonder I felt the god of fate was a bit weak; it turns out it had already been reduced to a roadside run-down state long ago?"

That makes sense, though.

The God of Fate's original three powers were all incredibly sinister; when combined, they sealed off all possibilities of failure, leaving no chance for anyone else to turn the tide.

But looking at it this way, it seems that these twenty-two members aren't much better off.

To be able to break free from the power of fate within a framework where all possibilities are locked is somewhat defying the heavens.

"etc…"

Could it be related to this that Ivy feels somewhat weak these days?

With most of her power over destiny reduced, Ivy doesn't actually possess much power. In addition, her physical condition is already poor, so...?

"Hiss... Could it be that the power actually comes from the witch's bloodline? Fate itself didn't play much of a role?"

It seems possible...

"In that case, why don't I go and take a look at the ruins Thanatos mentioned? Maybe I can find something they left behind."

"However, Thanatos should be dealing with things over there right now, so there's no need to rush. It's not too late to go after we find the Golden Timeline."

After deciding on the next steps, Xie Bai put the Book of Truth back into his backpack, during which time he met Sylvanus's gaze.

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing, it's just that I felt you...you seemed to have taken out something extraordinary just now."

"Oh, you mean this? It's just a history book. I flipped through it to pass the time when I was bored. Maybe it's picked up some of my scent and looks a little different now."

"Really…"

"real."

Xie Bai squinted at Sylvanas, a faint smile playing on her lips, making Sylvanas inexplicably hesitant to refute her.

Suddenly, a shout from afar shattered the tranquility of the scene.

"Ugh... I really can't eat anymore... Ugh... No... Don't stuff me anymore!"

That was the sound of Clythos.

Xie Bai looked in the direction of the sound and saw that Terramos was standing on the table with a bowl in his hand, forcibly feeding Clythos food into his mouth.

"What are you babbling about? You've only eaten five bowls and you say you're full? Who would believe that? You're so thin, you'd need to eat at least six hundred more bowls."

As Teramos called out, she poured her carefully prepared food into Clythos's mouth. Each bowl contained a different combination of ingredients, and no two dishes tasted or had the same texture.

However, the amount she forced down was simply too much. Clythos was just a weak witch of wealth, and although her physical abilities were slightly stronger than ordinary people, they weren't by much. There was no way she could possibly eat the six hundred bowls that Terramos had mentioned.

Five bowls are already her limit; if she eats any more, she'll really throw up.

Upon seeing this, Silvanus immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

Before Xie Bai could even speak, she instantly appeared in front of Terramos and kicked him away.

"Bang----!"

Upon landing, Silvanus caught the bowl that Teramos had dropped and then spoke to Cresos.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally overlooked the fact that her common sense about eating is a bit different from the average person's, and I'm sorry to have troubled you. After all, this is the first time she's been willing to share food with others, and she doesn't have any prior experience with this."

"If you don't mind, I can teach her some relevant common sense, and then she can apologize to you."
