Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Sen... He thinks he is the greediest.

What he longed for was the whole world outside.

But as a pillar, he will restrain his desires like everyone else.

Some things, once you get them, you will want more, especially for people like them.

"Eager to go but not wanting to go?" Rotten's voice was a little sarcastic.

"You are just like me, you are just suppressed by the constraints of tradition."

Luo Dun's expression was somewhat ferocious.

He seemed to see the mirror again.

A relic that reveals his inner desire and allows him to return to himself.

"I am bound, indeed, but not by tradition."

"It's a responsibility, but also a belief." Sen's gaze met Rotten's.

The clear, calm eyes slowly calmed Luoton's originally irritable mood.

"Sorry...I just..."

Sen shook his head. "It's probably hard for outsiders to understand what we mean to Pallasti."

"Guardian?" Rotten's tone became irritable again.

"You've been thinking about them, but have you ever thought about yourself?"

"Or have they ever thought about you?"

Sen's identity is no secret.

Rotun already knew it when they met for the third time, but he just didn't care.

"You've protected them for hundreds, thousands of years, yet you're trapped here, unable to pursue what your heart desires most."

"Is so-called responsibility really that important to you?"

This is probably the difference in concepts.

Demigods are the most powerful people in this world. They don’t need to pay anything and just need to do what makes them happy and what they like.

But Pallasti, as a demigod, usually shares his power with others to bless them and protect them from illness and disasters.

For the sake of the stability of his tribe, he limited the scope of his activities. Although he longed for the outside world, he never took a single step out. He just stood at the border and looked into the distance in his spare time.

Roton didn't understand why he did this, and he couldn't even comprehend it.

"Your mind is in turmoil." Sen did not answer him, but just said calmly.

"Besides, what's my choice to do with you?"

Luo Dun was a little speechless.

He raised his fist and hit his head hard.

"Yeah...it's none of my business..."

Perhaps she couldn't stand the fact that he had the power to break "fate" but was willing to be controlled by fate, or perhaps it was because Sen's appearance was too deceptive.

While getting along with Sen, he thought of Peroz more than once.

He wondered if Peroz would be as cute as him in a few years, and if he could succeed, she might also become as strong as him.

In this way, perhaps they can really break free from the shackles of fate on the Krolov family.

In Roton's eyes, Sen is very similar to the future Peroz, in every sense of the word, so after seeing his choice, he would feel a little disappointed.

Why would you settle for the status quo!

Why do you keep doing things you don't like to do!

Why do you have such great power but don’t think about yourself!

You clearly have your own pursuits, so why should you care about what others think?

"Nibel's self-mirror can indeed set aside everything and allow people to see themselves more clearly, but without a firm will, it is easy to get lost in that seemingly beautiful illusion."

The Mirror of Self is a relic that was only fully completed after the fall of the demigod.

It was also an item created because of Ciel.

Initially, its function was only to help people see themselves clearly, but because some of Charles' actions affected Nibel Ross, he added some tricks to the mirror of self.

Or a mischievous ability.

After seeing the self clearly, the self-mirror will also reflect the most desired things in the heart of the person facing the mirror, and show the greatest desires and expectations in his heart, and point out to the person in front of the mirror how to realize these expectations.

To Charles and Nieber, this function was just a joke, or an entertaining ability.

But for the descendants of the Nebes, this power completely changed them.

The civilization of the Nebes was destroyed, and Roton was also greatly affected.

He began to doubt his past and had new pursuits for the future.

At the same time, an uncontrollable greed arises.

"That's not an illusion!" Rotun slowly took out the mirror from his arms.

"This has the power of prophecy, it can guide me to get everything I want!"

The people in the extraordinary sequence who are best at prophecy are those from the Night Goddess sect, but that doesn't mean that only people from their sect can predict the future.

There are also some people in the Eternal Blazing Sun Sect who have developed their abilities to the level of prophecy.

After all, the sun also represents hope, and hope can also be interpreted as a bright future.

"I've seen my future clearly, what about you!?"

"Do you want to see clearly the hope in your heart?"

Mori's gaze fell on the mirror.

The waves rippled, and a scene that he had occasionally thought of appeared in Sen's eyes.

On a sailboat on the Perry Coast, he surveyed the surroundings; at the foot of the Lorton Mountains, he rode a reindeer and chatted with the locals; in the Windlass Canyon, she savored the local delicacies...

A smile played on Mori's cheeks.

The ripples slowly calmed down, and then another picture appeared.

In the Vermis Mountains, an evil demigod is holding an unholy ceremony.

His figure descended from the sky, and after a fierce battle with the opponent, he finally completely destroyed the opponent with the help of Mu Helin.

Later he appeared in the Truth Society.

With Reiner's help, he successfully removed the extraordinary characteristics in his body and replaced them with the power of the God of Fear.

Under the guidance of Mu and Lin, Parasti chose the new "Sen", and he was freed from his responsibilities and traditions and did what he liked.

It was a bright future, and the best of both worlds shown in the mirror seemed to be within his reach as long as he was willing.

But unlike what was expected, Sen's gaze only stayed on it for a short while before he calmly shifted his gaze.

The future described by the Self-Mirror is beautiful, but... it is not attractive to Sen.

After all, the first step to achieve the above method is to break the rules of Pallasti.

But the price of breaking the rules is never shown in the mirror.

"People face many choices in their lives, and each choice determines their future destiny."

"A long time ago, I chose to become a 'Sen' amid the cheers of my people. Now I won't regret my choice."

"I like the outside world, I like it very much."

"This doesn't mean I hate this place. Perhaps Palasti alone can't compare to the colorful world outside in my heart. But Palasti has never been a simple city. It contains everything I have, whether it's my family, friends, those who love me, my beliefs... The Palasti they make up far outweighs my love for the outside world."

“In the mirror of self, you can see what your heart desires and loves most.”

“But that doesn’t mean you have to go down that path.”

"Because you don't live just for what you desire most. Humans are not single-minded creatures. There may be only one thing that people desire most in their hearts, but if the desire is even a little bit off, there will be many."

"Don't let your desires blind you."

Sen slowly stood up.

He was not a talkative person, but he was willing to talk a lot with Rotten.

On the one hand, it is because Sen can feel the other person's heart, and on the other hand, it is because of his former name.

Lilith Nibb.

The mirror of self is a very good sacred object.

It's a pity that this holy object is not suitable for everyone to use.

The deeper the obsession, the bigger the flaw, and the better the hope brought by the mirror of self.

Under such beautiful hopes, people's greed will be aroused and their reason will be blinded.

Finally, the last descendants of the Nibel people took their last look at the Mirror of Self and brought the rest of their people to Pallasti.

Afterwards, the tribesman who had seen the mirror of self left Palasti and chose to sink into the earth with the city of Niber.

Sen did not experience what happened at that time, but his ancestors did, and these experiences were passed down from generation to generation through blood.

"The Mirror of Self has been waiting for a true master, and I hope you will be that person."

After saying these words, Sen left.

He knew that these words could not wake up Rotten, and no words could wake him up at this moment.

This kind of thing has happened countless times among the Nibo people.

Wise men, great monarchs, respected elders of noble character... they all fell to desire.

What about Rawdon?

In the city of Nibe, at the very bottom, in the ancestral temple.

Peroz lay on the ground like a salted fish, looking at the statues and murals around her. She didn't immediately observe and study them. Instead, she closed her eyes and shouted loudly, "I swear! If anyone asks me to dig up the remains of the Nibes in the future, no matter what is inside, I will never go again!"

God knows what she has been through during this period.

I originally thought that a city would have at most a dozen floors, or at most dozens of floors.

but...

She walked up three hundred floors.

The "down" of each level must be calculated based on the "down" of all the levels above and the outside world. She went the wrong way several times.

The situation here is different from what Rotten had experienced before. When Rotten was exploring, he took the wrong path. If he had discovered it in time, he could have found his way back along the original route.

But here in Peroz...if you take the wrong path, you will reappear at the door and have to take the same path again.

Even with Peroz's temperament, facing such rules, he couldn't help but want to break something to vent his anger.

"Huff, huff, huff... calm down, calm down."

"Ruins are inherently full of uncertainty. As an explorer, you have to learn to stay calm."

"Okay..now it's harvest time, be happy."

After resting for a while, Peroz slowly stood up, walked to the stone mural and began his observation.

"A middle-aged man, dressed in the garb of a priest of the Church of the Eternal Blazing Sun from the Five Gods Era. He pointed one hand toward the sky, the other toward the ground. Water began to flow upwards, and beneath his feet were several people building cave dwellings underground."

"Hmm... This painting should mark the process of the ancestors of the Nibe people building the city of Nibe." Peroz's eyes were extremely bright, and then he continued to walk forward.

"It's this middle-aged man again. This time he opened up a new space and led many people to live there."

"Also, above the mural, there are black clouds, lightning, and some wailing people... which should represent disaster."

"If my guess is correct, this person should be Niber Ross. This painting should depict that after the gods disappeared, the church was unable to maintain order. Niber Ross founded this city to protect his people and civilians."

After looking at these paintings, Peroz moved his steps again and walked towards the next few murals.

"These paintings all show the hard work and efforts of the Nibe people to build their own city after they settled here."

"What's strange is that Nibel Ross never appeared during this process."
