Chapter 373: Chapter 373
"Why, why is this? Why has it changed? The trajectory of the world cannot be completely denied!"
Roswaal's fingers kept flipping through each page of the 'Gospel', and the words on each page were changing.
Every time he turned a page, cold sweat broke out from him. Finally, he was sweating profusely, and drops of sweat continued to drip onto the gospel.
His whole body trembled, his heterochromatic pupils shrinking, and his voice gradually becoming sharper.
"Impossible, this is impossible! To totally deny the future! What happened to the world?!"
This was completely beyond his understanding.
He could be regarded as a magician who understood the "world," and he held the gospel that connected with the memory of the world.
The 'World Memory' was supposed to be unchangeable. It could only prevent bad paths until the end of destiny. No matter who it was, whether witch or human, no one could violate it.
"What happened to the world?! What happened?! The person in the destiny will also appear!"
His hand shook, and the gospel slipped. Roswaal quickly grasped it in fear, holding it tightly in his arms.
"He won't show up! That person won't show up anymore! What should I do?!"
The future of the world had been completely overturned. Didn't it mean that all his four hundred years of planning had become useless?
"No, no... Even if the future changes, there must still be opportunities..." Roswaal flipped through the gospel frantically.
"The future of the world has been completely overturned... What kind of power is this? It's like that of a god... no, it IS a god."
A soft voice came from the mouth of the white-haired girl. Her hair and eyelashes were as white as snow, and her robes were also white, with rare blue accents. A blue headband tied her hair on the right side.
Her blue eyes were filled with gentle innocence. She opened her slender arms and raised her head to the sky.
"Although it was only for a moment, I felt it. The power from above forcibly erased all trajectories of the future and rewove destiny.
"Who are you? The source of power to change the world from above."
Although her plan had completely failed due to the complete change in the future, she realized that this power was far beyond her own.
It must be the power of the 'god' she had sought.
She knew that 'gods' had originally existed, but they had disappeared for unknown reasons, leading to issues in the world. The power of the world had scattered throughout.
The 'secret' lay sealed behind the door at the center of Elior Forest.
However, the fate of the world had not yet reached the point of opening the door; many trials still lay ahead.
Now, it seemed her plan could be temporarily put aside.
"I have escaped from 'destiny' and re-entered it, so the source of power must have noticed me.
"I look forward to my fate."
Her small hands, as white as snow, clapped together, tears forming in her blue eyes.
"Such a fate is wonderful."
At the same time, in a dilapidated building somewhere within the chaotic time and space beyond the 'Great Falls,' a 40-meter-long dark blue dragon awoke. It raised its horned head and instantly spread its wings.
"What? The fate of the world?!"
It felt the mission given by the world and awoke instantly, the new destiny flowing into its mind.
"What happened? How did fate change? How is this possible?"
"What's going on with this new destiny?"
Polkenny did not know what had suddenly happened to the world, but he was used to it. Strange situations often arose in this world. It wasn't too terrifying for the world to suddenly change its trajectory. After all, nothing compared to the anomaly that affected half the world four hundred years ago.
"Lugnica... according to the contract, we were originally prepared to conduct a royal selection. Since the future trajectory has become like this, let's have the last bloodline of the royal family become the queen."
Thinking of this, Polkenny felt a bit down. The newly assigned mission required the contract to be terminated, and for him to be returned to humanity. However, one cannot defy the destiny assigned by the world; to do so would mean becoming an enemy of the world. That was a fate he couldn't bear.
He directly contacted the rulers who governed Lugnica through the 'contract.'
Takumi felt the changes in the world after he had completely overturned the 'established destiny,' a small smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
He wasn't the type to be afraid of altering his future because of 'feelings.' Since he had arrived, he intended to completely deny the previous future; otherwise, wouldn't it all have been in vain?
Those fellow 'travelers' who were so cautious, not daring to change the fate of the world for fear of the butterfly effect... he sneered at them.
"The sin witches of this world are quite suitable to represent certain aspects of the other side of Kabbalah.
"The seven deadly sins... In Teyvat today, the seven deadly sins are vacant.
"These seven original sins represent the dark side of human nature.
"Belonging to Kabbalah and simultaneously Alaya, they occupy a relatively complicated position within the grand design.
"The seven original sins together form absolute evil. In the Hakoba universe, they would represent the final test of humanity."
The "final trial of humanity" would inevitably emerge when "human history" reached a certain point. The so-called 'final trial' was an internal conflict that had to be resolved once mankind overcame all external threats that threatened the survival of its civilization.
Once civilization advanced to a point where hunger, disease, and death had been eliminated, the greatest threat to its survival came from within—the self-destruction tendencies of humanity itself.
The ultimate internal cause that could lead to the destruction of humanity was the "Final Trial of Humanity."
If human civilization could overcome all "final trials," then it would no longer be in danger of extinction. At that point, it could attain higher levels, even surpassing multi-dimensional boundaries.
Takumi walked towards the 'Witch's Cemetery' and observed it. A faint glow emanated from the cemetery gates, while incantations on every brick and stone emitted magical light.
He didn't bother to conceal his presence. The Witch of Greed, Echidna, possessed the 'Book of Wisdom,' which connected her to the 'Memory of the World.' She understood that destiny had been altered.
Even if the witches who wielded the 'power' had died physically, their souls remained.
"Desire... your desire for the unknown... I want to see how far your obsession can take you, Echidna."
Takumi grinned wickedly, as the rules of his dream emerged, turning his form into an illusion as he walked into the 'cemetery.'
