"Drank the magic potion...forgot the worldly affairs...walked over the Naihe Bridge...cast into the Three Lives Stone..."
"What is the Three Lives Stone?" Xing Mo asked.
"Legend has it that the stone that records past lives, present lives, and future lives lies on the other side of the Naihe Bridge, where the past of every person crossing it is recorded," Ruan Lili continued, explaining the folklore. "If they cast themselves into the Three Lives Stone, it means that their past and existence are engulfed by it."
"And then they were forgotten by the world." Vivian whispered.
She recalled the black fog that enveloped the Ice Dragon family. Was everything about the Ice Dragon family also swallowed up by the black fog?
The glory of the Ice Dragon was eventually engraved into the Three Lives Stone and forgotten by everyone in the world.
Over the past thousand years, how much history has been engraved into the Three Lives Stone, never to see the light of day again?
"I'm more curious about why she ran back," Xing Mo looked at the female soldier. "According to Senior Alice, that Wu Chang clearly possessed a very strong aura of coercion, so how did she manage to escape?"
This time, it was Aurora who provided the answer:
“It’s because of the connection.”
"As she escaped, I sensed an extremely strong sense of connection. She had an extremely strong bond in the mortal world, which created something like an anchor of sanity, pulling her out of the unknown."
"This was a very complex reaction process. The woman was awakened by the anchor, and then upon seeing Wuchang's face, she was subjected to intense supernatural pressure. The limited supernatural essence in her body went out of control at this moment, driving her mad and briefly bursting into a running speed beyond that of an ordinary person."
"You mean she outran the god of death?" Xing Mo stuck out her tongue.
"That's about it," Aurora spread her hands. "Maybe Wuchang didn't expect... someone could run so fast, right?"
"Then who is the anchor in her heart?" Xing Mo asked.
At this moment, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open. Xing Mo turned around and saw Zuo Huai rushing in.
He was stopped by soldiers on both sides, and while struggling, he reached out his hands towards the string magic circle.
"Mom!!!" he yelled.

one)
After leaving the string formation room, the four of them went directly to the terrace and looked down at the Danzhou City below from a high vantage point.
"Fate really loves to play tricks on us," Xing Mo muttered, "It turns out to be that Zuo Shao's mother."
"I never thought that the wife of the former governor of Danzhou would be a female soldier." Aurora also muttered.
The two mumbling duo exchanged glances, recalling what had just happened.
Zuo Huai called his mother, rushed into the room, and knelt down outside the string magic circle.
He said a lot of things, like "I am an unfilial son" and "I miss you so much", and cried his heart out.
A miracle happened: the woman who was eroded by the unknown woke up and turned to look at Zuo Huai outside the string magic circle.
Then she smiled.
She didn't go crazy, nor did she speak. She just smiled quietly and looked at her son.
At that time, Xing Mo suddenly understood why that woman could rush out from the unknown fog.
Mothers are always great.
"It seems that the unknown influencing mechanism should be completely complete."
Alice rested her chin on her hand and continued:
"The first is connection. It has many similarities to the Anchor of Reason. When a person is consumed by the Black Miasma, it must first dissolve their connections, including their social relationships, emotional ties, and so on. This makes sense, because a large part of the mark a person leaves on this world depends on how they are seen by others. Until these connections are completely wiped out, it is impossible for a person to fall into the unknown."
"Secondly, time is required to dismantle a person's existence. Whether it's dismantling the previously mentioned connections or dismantling the person's existence itself, it takes time to advance the process. This time is equivalent to the experience of the female soldier at the Naihe Bridge. Only after she crossed the bridge was the process complete, and she was finally plunged into the unknown."
After Alice finished her long speech, Xingmo opened her mouth slightly and exclaimed:
"The top students from Nefera Beta Magic Academy are the best at speaking."
"You're almost forgetting everything you learned in textbooks, Xiaomo," Alice tapped Xingmo's forehead. "Anyway, after understanding these mechanisms, we might be able to find a way to break this state that plunges people into the unknown."
"So... you mean... you can bring the buried history back to the world...!?" Vivian was stunned.
She knew what this meant—the history of the Ice Dragon family could be made public again!
"Yes, that's right," Alice nodded. "Remember what Qiuniu said? He can't take action because the unknown has covered up the beginning of this war. If he takes action, it will easily give the Jiedushi of the neighboring state an opportunity to intervene."
"So, if we reveal the fact that Whistling Fort fired first, turning it from unknown to known, can we reverse the situation and allow Prison Ox to take action against the Black Dragon Society?"
"That's a great idea," Xingmo nodded. "If this concept can be realized, then Doreen Dubois's first shot is actually handing us a knife."
Thinking back to the black dragon servant during the dragon boat incident, Xing Mo felt that it would be difficult for him to get rid of it quickly.
Even though that thing was torn apart so many times by Qiuniu, it could be resurrected again and again, as if it had endless vitality.
Of course, she had a way to kill the Black Dragon Servant - from Vivian's Shura Dream, Xingmo saw with her own eyes that Cain killed a Black Dragon Servant with one blow.
This means that the Black Dragon Servant is vulnerable to fate.
From this point of view, Xing Mo felt that he was even more restrained than Aurora about the Black Dragon Servant. After all, it was hard to say whether that thing could be called a life, but it definitely had the same fate as everything else.
Life may not end, but destiny will definitely end.
But the problem lies here: Xingmo's power to control fate is limited. Even if she has the Long-Singing Star Sea Bell, using Lachesis Nocturne is a huge burden for her.
So, who knows how many black dragon attendants Doreen Dubois can summon?
Therefore, if you want to ensure the victory of this war, the safest way is to hand over the Black Dragon Servant to Qiuniu.
"Then, our next step is to figure out how to cross the Naihe Bridge?" Aurora said.
"That doesn't sound very auspicious," Xing Mo said, a little embarrassed, "but... it's like this."
"The key is probably connection," Alice said. "If you have enough connections, you won't be swallowed by the unknown so quickly."
"Then I'll just go directly," Xingmo said, "I have enough anchor points."
"No, no," Aurora shook her head. "According to our estimates, the unknown will erode the anchor points very quickly. Little Saint, have you forgotten that you still need to be promoted to an angel? We've finally acquired so many anchor points, are we going to give them all away?"
"As for me, that's even less likely to happen," Aurora scratched her chin. "I could get a bunch of anchors to tie myself down, but the problem is, that space is clearly the Dragon Lord's domain. If I enter, He'll definitely try to stop me. It won't be easy."
"Then let me go," Vivian stepped forward, "I have no problem."
"You don't have an anchor," Alice said anxiously, "No, don't get too excited."
"Therein lies the memory of the Ice Dragon family.
"I have an obligation to find a way to get it out!" Vivian's voice became louder. "I won't be reckless, I will be obedient, but it has to be me!"
"Little dragon, you're so noisy," Aurora fanned herself with a vine fan. "I'll let you go even if you don't ask, but listen to me first."
"You say." Vivian immediately behaved well.
"First, we need to find a way to establish enough connections," Aurora nodded. "According to our estimation, this connection doesn't require a strong bond like the Anchor of Reason, such as faith in love."
"This connection can be a simple one of knowing. In other words, as long as enough people know you and have enough connections with you, the unknown will take more time to devour you."
"The issue of sufficient connections is relatively easy to handle." Aurora blinked.
"How should we deal with this?" Xing Mo tilted her head. "Find extras?"
"That's too much trouble. We're talking about thousands, maybe even tens of thousands, of connections. It's not that simple."
Aurora put her hands on her hips, a smug look on her face.
"If we need so many helpers, we have so many small plants! Is it difficult to build relationships with them?"
Hearing Aurora say this, Xingmo's mind flashed with the magical little plants in the Sacred Tree Forest.
Well, to be honest, it’s not a small plant at all, it’s a big plant, and a super big plant.
For example, the vine kitten Hakimi.
"Can they... be considered connected?" Xing Mo asked weakly.
"Why not? Don't look down on little plants," Aurora said angrily. "No matter what, we have to give it a try, right?"
"indeed."
It has to be said that this is indeed the most feasible method. Under the premise that "connection" is not as complex as "anchor point", Aurora can indeed mass-produce "connection" at the fastest speed.
"Well, let's start the experiment." Xingmo snapped his fingers.
Half an hour later, in the central clearing of the Sacred Tree Forest.
When Vivian passed through the rift, the first thing she saw was tens of thousands of red dots flashing in the sky.
If you look closely, you will find that those spots of light are actually eyes - either hanging from the tree trunks or growing on the trunks of giant trees.
They all looked at the group of people who had just entered the forest, with a "kind" light flashing in their eyes.
"Little plant..." Vivian's mouth twitched.
For the first time, I felt like I was colluding with evil.
Alice squatted down with great interest and reached out to tease a vine kitten that jumped over and rubbed against her.
"You have so many eyes," Alice said, smiling and scratching the kitten's chin.
"Senior, I think you are more suitable to be a cult saint." Xing Mo stuck out her tongue.
"The goddess's saint is our saint, all of you!" Aurora put her hands on her hips. "Song of Life! Some music!"
Accompanied by a burst of drum beats, percussion music rang out in the jungle.
It is the vines hitting the wooden stakes, the breeze blowing through the thin leaves, and the river flowing gently.
These sounds mixed together and turned into a cheerful symphony, which instantly dispelled the gloomy atmosphere in the jungle.
Aurora danced happily, spun to the center of the woods, and snapped her fingers again.
Thin willow branches hang down from the trunk of the hundred-meter-high tree, arranged in uneven rows up and down, forming an inverted ceremonial platform.
"Alice, sample." Aurora held out her hand.
Alice took out the astrological pendulum and tossed it to Aurora. Aurora caught it easily and immediately threw the pendulum towards the willow branches.
The dense willow branches entwined the pendulum, spinning around it like some kind of machine. Simultaneously, emerald green ripples appeared in the surrounding space, faintly forming a series of symbols.
Aurora's eyes quickly swept across the strings of symbols. She stretched out her hand and pinched it, creating a segment of emerald green light, then crushed it.
"Om..."
Accompanied by a faint roar coming from under the space, the willow branches quickly spread out around and turned into multiple rings.
And in the center of those willow branches, a dark mass gradually emerged.
It's black miasma.
"This is an unknown power..." Aurora muttered softly as she gazed at the emerald green symbols. "Hmm... It's indeed quite special. The spiritual energy that makes up it is similar to anti-life essence, yet completely different. A single element doesn't cause any spiritual energy exchange in the spirit world, but when combined, it connects to a special dimension that isn't the spirit world."
"Is it the space where the Naihe Bridge is located?" Xing Mo looked up at the symbols that he could not understand.
"Well, to be precise, it should be the Dragon Lord's kingdom."
Hearing Aurora's words, the group was slightly surprised.
"You mean... the Dragon Lord is in that space?" Alice asked.
"Then can we go in and kill Him?" Vivian's words were still very dragon-like. "I can't do it, but Xiaoshu can, right?"
"It's not that simple," Aurora shook her head. "This space... is mostly made up of unknown things. In other words, even if we could enter the Outer Divine Realm, we wouldn't be able to confirm the Dragon Lord's location."
Hmm... Sure enough, killing a god is not that easy...
However, according to Yuechen, Zuo Shangtang escaped
At that time, a scroll was brought to Doreen Dubois. It was said that the scroll contained the method of how to make the Dragon Lord return.
As long as we can capture Fort Howling, seize the scroll, and then follow the instructions...
...should be able to find a way to suppress the Dragon Lord, or even kill Him.
This is incredible...anything you think of is "killing gods", Xingmo, you are quite capable.
Thinking this way, Xingmo squatted down and picked up Hakimi.
"Then let's get started." She nodded.
"no problem."
Aurora snapped her fingers, and instantly, thousands of green threads connected to Hakimi's body, making his figure dazzling for a moment.
"Now, the connection of the entire Sacred Forest depends on the kitten," Aurora said. "Alright, Hakimi, go ahead!"
