Devil's Bible

"Unfortunately, things never go according to my will," Xibin lamented about fate.

A hardcover book appeared in my hand.

The book contains finely cut sheepskin, on which many sacred esoteric texts are written.

"Is this your bloodline ability?" The battle wouldn't start so soon, so Nemus naturally didn't mind exchanging a few words.

"The Lillian Family Heritage - The Book of Time." At this point, Xibin had nothing left to hide.

"The bloodline of the Lillian family is inherited from fairies."

In some places, the term "fairy" is also used to refer to a fairy.

These creatures are born of steel and generally live in forests or lakes. They have created special dimensions within these spaces, where they live in seclusion and record history.

The ancestors of the Lillian family once entered a secret forest and encountered fairies, thus giving birth to descendants with fairy blood.

These descendants draw their power from their bloodline—the destiny of history.

"The destiny of history allows us to create the book of time."

"And one can vaguely perceive the course of history."

"At that crucial moment, if one can enter it and gain the favor of history's destiny, one can obtain the number and thus become a legendary species!"

Upon hearing the words "legendary species," Nemus's eyes lit up.

Legendary species have the same rank as Gold species, but just as a different species demon can fight ten ordinary demons, a legendary species can at least fight three Gold species one-on-one.

This is the advantage of special species.

"I am the same. Relying on the book of time, I began to walk into the course of history, and then wanted to obtain the numbers from history."

"But we found that the course of history had deviated—which suggests that there may have been an anomaly in history."

"After I fled, I used the Book of Time to set the course of history."

"If you can't find me, it means I've been abandoned by history, which may have been an accident. But now that you can find me, it means that everything I guessed was right."

At this moment, Xibin held a book in one hand and drew his sword with the other.

He unleashed his full aura, and judging from this aura, his score had reached around eighty-seven.

The bloodline characteristic ability of destiny requires the convergence of multiple factors, including favorable timing, location, and human relationships, to propel the bloodline holder to their rightful place.

The scholar lacked the conviction that he would definitely succeed, and even the fairy himself couldn't do that.

However, he could not accept that everything would collapse because of the appearance of an anomaly.

"I never expected to gain this much!" Nemus had thought that Xibin was just trying to acquire resources from various sources to advance to the Gold Species level, but he never expected to obtain information about the Legendary Species here.

"If you can defeat me, then everything you want will naturally be yours. If you want to climb over me to get ahead, you will naturally have to show your own abilities!" Xibin strode over, brandishing his long sword as it approached from afar.

It's just how it happened, yet it gives people an irresistible feeling.

The moment Nemus blocked the opponent's sword with his knight's sword, he sensed something was wrong and pulled his arm back behind him.

The blade flew past, grazing his arm from behind.

Looking at the broken blade, Nemus sighed, tossed it aside, and his gaze turned sinister.

"Is this the power of history?" Nemus's sword was not so easily broken. Without any special characteristics or power, even if Nemus was just wielding an ordinary knight's sword, he could still fight with skill.

But just a moment ago, the 'history' of Jacques using Holy Collapse to destroy his weapon was repeated.

Nemes discovered that even the places where the sword broke were almost identical.

“The power of the fairies allows us to observe ‘history’ to some extent,” Xibin said as he charged toward Nemus.

“Then reproduce it!” Xibin’s eyes twitched slightly, and some dots were flashing on Nems’ body.

Those are some of Nemus's past 'history', such as how he discovered the history of the Broken Sword through observation and then decisively took action.

Without a corresponding force to counter it, the broken sword became inevitable.

The tremor resumed in an instant, and a point was seized by the Spanish.

"Restricted!" At some point, Nemus's movements were restricted by special means.

The moment the history was read, Xibin slammed his sword into the ground.

A historical artifact—the Forest Sword.

Historically, there have been legends of fairies bestowing precious swords upon those destined for them, and the Forest Sword is one such legend.

The moment the sword hit the ground, a large number of trees and vines sprouted from the ground.

This area is near a dung tunnel, and whale dung fragments often drift around, so the ground is relatively fertile.

If it weren't for the fact that it's a slope, it would probably have been planted with crops long ago.

The vines and trees quickly coiled around and climbed toward Nems, trying to restrain him in place.

"It's not just about the enemy, but also about real history."

Xibin used his own fairy bloodline as a guide to recreate some of the Forest Sword's abilities.

Seeing that the plant had successfully restrained Nemus, Xibin slowly exhaled and launched a thrust.

He already had a stat total of over 80, and his strength and speed far surpassed those of Nemus.

Under normal circumstances, a paladin with a stat in the thirties would be doomed...

The blade was getting closer and closer to Nemus.

Just when Xibin thought he was about to succeed, he felt as if his sword had struck an iron wall. The force he used instead made his hand go numb.

With a swift movement, Nemus used the sword that Sibin had thrust at him to cut a gash in the vines that were binding him.

Then they tore the plants apart.

The characteristic of fusion essence is the ability to draw upon the power of other aspects to enhance another power or characteristic.

Just now, Nemus used some of his temporarily unused traits to fully enhance the Forgiveness trait, maximizing his immunity to external damage.

This feature, after all, was developed based on feedback from the entire Aupu caravan, and its effect was indeed quite good.

Is there anything else?

"If not, I'm going to kill you."

Chapter 97 The Wheel of History

Nems' voice was like a farewell bell, heavy yet indistinct.

Upon hearing Nems's words, Xibin paused, then spoke:

"The book of time allows you to glimpse a certain aspect of history."

"By simply combining it with fairy blood and using fresh fairy blood to refine the secret medicine, there is a slight possibility of glimpsing the realm of legendary species."

After his attack failed and this illogical phenomenon occurred, he realized that he was under the wheels of history and that struggling was futile.

This was the backlash of peering into history, which he couldn't bear. His eyes held fear of death, worry for his wife and children, and resentment at his own failure.

"My mother knows the secret medicine formula, and my wife has some alchemy skills!"

"My son is the best source of fairy blood!"

"I can also choose not to leave this book behind!" Xibin said, his eyes gradually losing all other emotion, leaving only a final resolute look.

"However, I want to make a deal with the Grand Knight."

"You want to use this to get me to take care of your family?" Nems could naturally see through the other party's intentions.

“That’s right. The course of history, that sliver of historical destiny, is not so easy to grasp. It could take decades!” Xibin nodded: “I’ve spent more than twenty years, but I’ve only seen a sliver of possibility.”

“You will need to take care of my family for at least several decades.”

“I’ve told them that when you go through the years with the Book of Time, they will understand.”

"It just depends on whether you have the capacity to tolerate others."

"Of course, I also showed some sincerity first. There is a problem with the cesspool. With your ability, you can find it by carefully exploring it."

When Xibin finished speaking, he glanced at the dung beetles carrying whale dung in the dung tunnel, and then waited for Nemes's reply.

"Give it to me!" Nemus reached out his hand almost without hesitation.

Benefits – The special abilities of fairies' bloodline, and the opportunity to glimpse legendary species.

Risks include the future dangers of not eradicating the problem completely, potential issues with the main Lillian family, and the inherent risks of this type of ability.

Judging from some of Xibin's actions, it's clear that his fighting spirit isn't particularly strong.

It was as if, even if Nemus didn't kill him, he wouldn't live much longer.

This is not surprising, after all, it is a glimpse into history.

It's perfectly normal for such forces related to fate to have some corresponding backlashes.

But so what? Nems seemed particularly interested in it at the moment.

The Breath of Holy Law itself contains revelations, and coupled with his understanding of fate, he knows that as long as he wants to continue climbing, he cannot avoid this kind of ability in the future.

"The tides of history, of course, are also waves, and are they not also a challenge!"

The confidence that emanated from within startled Xibin.

There was a time when he was just as confident, believing that his talent was no less than that of the direct descendants, which is why he resolutely brought his mother out to establish a branch family.

However, two or three years ago, he had already realized that it would be difficult for him to succeed.

He realized that he had not lost to Nemes, but to history and to fate. Amidst all these emotional fluctuations, Xibin's last bit of resentment dissipated.

He then tossed the Book of Time to Nemus and revealed the hidden pitfall he hadn't originally intended to mention.

"The number of history is not so easy to obtain; it requires matching abilities and talents. Otherwise, one will be abandoned by history, just like me, crushed by the wheels of history."

He also swung the Forest Sword in his hand, and the flying sword spun before embedding itself in front of Nemus.

"Kill me, and let me see your sword that dares to wield against history!"

Taking the Book of Time, Nemus held the book in one hand and grabbed the sword in front of him with the other.

"Secret Sword - Whirlwind Swallow!"

The blade turned slightly, and in the next moment it had transformed into a white line.

By combining magical techniques with swordsmanship, Nemus has revived his research in this life and has already shown initial success.

He slightly moved past the other person, and slowly sheathed the sword in his hand.

"That was fast," Xibin exclaimed, before his body slowly collapsed.

Blood gushed from the crevice, like the sound of the wind.

Nemes stood up, looking at the dead Xibin, vaguely trying to grasp something.

A white-haired person slowly appeared not far away.

"Wow, handsome!" Angel A teased as she approached, shattering the air of mystery that came with her closed eyes.

Previously, it was Angel A who was secretly monitoring Xibin's family, and it was he who provided Nemus with the right direction. His maverick nature allowed him to remain unaffected by fate-related abilities, thus ensuring that Nemus did not lose track of them.

"What's the situation on the other side of the cesspool?" Nems asked.

Calling Angel A over was also to add an extra layer of insurance, since Xibin's stats were not low and he also possessed special bloodline abilities.

But I never expected things to turn out this way.

Xibin's resistance was much weaker than expected.

It was an unexpected turn of events that I was able to obtain the fairy's artifact containing historical secrets.

Seeing that Nemes didn't respond to his teasing, Angel A pursed his lips in boredom and started to get down to business.

"It's highly likely related to the Floating World Society!"

"The number and condition of adult whale dung beetles are not normal."

Dung beetles keep pushing dung balls, but once they become adults, they stop pushing dung balls and simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Once the other dung beetles push the dung ball over, they immediately take over and quickly drain all the nutrients from inside.

This will lead to a decrease in the output within the fecal canal.
