Chapter 3501 Enlightenment - Audience
There was no road at the end of the snow slope; ahead lay the snow-capped mountain scenery under the starry night.
Standing there was a towering mountain ridge, like a silver thread, stretching for miles to the left and right like a winding silver serpent until it disappeared into the darkness. The wind blew constantly from outside the ridge, stirring the snowflakes beneath her feet, making them tumble like silvery sand under Luvia's boots.
And on this snow-capped mountain ridge, which stretches like a silver thread, countless treasures from different eras lie quietly in the snow, reflecting the starlight of this moment.
The starry sky seemed almost within reach. Standing on the ridge, Luvia's long hair swayed in the wind, her long dress fluttered in the snow, and under the starlight, she felt completely relaxed.
The starry sky was overhead, and the endless white mountains stretched out beneath my feet. The world seemed to be compressed entirely before me, and at that moment, I felt as if I could see the entire world.
The destination of the pilgrimage is not important to the pilgrims; those destined to follow their path are more concerned with the journey itself. But at the end, this ancient road still welcomes them with such scenery.
Thus, Luvia, who was also a professional diviner and longed to know and fight against fate, clearly sensed the feelings of every pilgrim who came here.
She looked at everything before her, then opened her arms, tilted her head back, squinted, and let the wind and snow blow across her face. Snowflakes swirled behind her until the rolling white snowflakes formed a ring, from which the ring, carrying steam and mist, surged forth.
At this moment, all the treasures on the silver "sand" beneath her feet shone with their own brilliance, and the insights left behind by her predecessors after their pilgrimages became her gains in this new era.
Long-haired Luvia and long-haired Luvia merged at this moment, the golden elements of miracle, the silver elements of blasphemy, the brass elements of enlightenment, and the black iron elements of whispers converging on her destiny ring. The "noble destiny" shared with Shad appeared on the back of her right hand, which was raised high towards the starry sky to prove her identity. Starlight shone on her at this moment, snowflakes danced around her, and Mount Fatumunst seemed to be calling her name at this moment.
The word "as if" isn't quite accurate, because the mountains truly were calling her name at that moment. Shad, who was climbing the mountain through the maze, the elders and Claire in the town, and Emilia, who was feeling down in the snow because she was lost and Ellie was missing, all heard that name.
The snow-capped mountain that once witnessed destiny now senses that supreme fate once more. Even if time scorns her, Luvia Fioch Anastasia remains the first choice for destiny's chosen one, and always will be—
After all, she truly put on the most brilliant performance for the world. Even now, as this play is being re-performed for the seventh time, she has brought with her the element of "beyond fate" that makes the drama even more captivating.
A noble purple hue adorned her destiny, and the purple glow in her eyes could almost scatter all the clouds in the night sky. The wind played its melody for her, the snow danced for her, the threads of fate wove a noble robe, and the echoes of destiny proved that she was the eternal protagonist in her destiny.
A snake slough flew towards her from afar, carried by the wind. At this moment, all she needed to do to gain the status of "protagonist candidate" was to reach out her hand. Luvia, with her long hair, suddenly felt a little dazed. She had always reached out and taken that snake slough before, considering it her reward for completing her pilgrimage. Accepting the status of the chosen one at the end of this road was the most appropriate process for her.
But this time, Luvia opened her eyes and reached out to brush the air, causing the flying snake skin to land directly at her feet.
"Do not."
Her explicit refusal was something even long-haired Luvia hadn't expected:
"Although this is my first time here, it feels like I've been here many times before."
She spoke to the silvery-white snow-capped mountains and the dazzling starry sky:
"But it wasn't until this time that I felt I had truly completed my pilgrimage through destiny."
Lying in the snow beneath her feet lay treasures left by countless generations of pilgrims. This time, she came without any ulterior motives; this time, she hadn't even truly participated in anything on Fatummister Island. Thus, having traversed this path purely as a "diviner," Luvia fully understood the thoughts of generations of pilgrims. She even understood the thoughts of that "traitorous predecessor" of the guild from hundreds of years ago when he arrived here:
"The end of this road is never about gaining anything. Although I only started this pilgrim's path from the seaside tonight, I feel that I have been on this pilgrim's path for a very, very long time."
Although the voice only came from the long-haired Luvia, a smile appeared on her face. She looked at herself with admiration, and she understood:
“I had even forgotten what I looked like when I first set off, but after traveling so far, I’m now sure that this time I’ve finally reached the finish line just like them.”
She looked down at the blank snake skin at her feet, and the long-haired Luvia smiled from the bottom of her heart. She only understood this simple truth after pushing everything onto Shad:
"I am a diviner; I should be able to better appreciate the story from outside the narrative, outside the game of cards. The important thing is not what I gain, but what I must give up after completing this pilgrimage. My predecessors all knew to relinquish certain things, and now I finally understand. So this time—"
She spoke to the snow-capped mountains and the starry sky:
"What I relinquished was the qualification of being chosen by fate. Even if I were not chosen, I would still be born noble. Even without Mr. Ring's power, I would still be the strongest diviner of this era, the one before the end of the world."
The four colors of spiritual light—gold, silver, copper, and iron—were used to forge four different spiritual runes, but these runes all dissipated when she declared that she was abandoning her identity.
The scattered auras collided and recombine, amidst the turbulent tides of the snow-capped mountains, ultimately leaving behind a spirit rune on her life ring—a rune she had never possessed in the past several Sixth Eras.
Inspire the audience.
Luvia's unrestrained and arrogant laughter echoed throughout the entire Fatumunst Snow Mountain. The wind swirled wildly with her swinging arms, and the exceptionally bright light of the spirit rune even suppressed the spiritual light of all the relics, divine artifacts, and alchemical items on the entire silvery-white ridge.
The woman of time and space, who traverses time, controls destiny, and restarts the world, has now truly leaped off the stage and taken her seat in the audience. The power and identity she had longed for but could not obtain have finally come into her hands at the end of this pilgrimage that spanned seven eras.
Luvia, with her long hair flowing down her shoulders, rejoiced at having more power to help Shad, while the long-haired girl felt an emptiness:
"Now I'm completely hidden behind time and fate, and Adele won't be able to find me even if she wants to. But this time, we're not enemies."
Just then, she felt something tugging at her from behind. Turning around, she saw Ellie, the unicorn with beautiful blue eyes, had somehow gotten behind her and was biting her skirt to get the delighted girl's attention.
Luvia then smiled and stroked its head:
"You got separated from Emilia? It's okay, I'll take you to her in a bit."
She didn't even glance at the various treasures scattered on the snow or the snake skin; she wanted to ride Ellie away to share her joy with Shad. At this moment, she did feel a little regretful that she wasn't a witch, otherwise she wouldn't have to sleep in the guest room tonight due to her physical condition.
But the joy in her heart came to an abrupt halt at that moment. Luvia, who was about to mount her unicorn, froze, quickly turning her head to look in the direction of the ridge she had been gazing at. Ellie, on the other hand, immediately lay down in the snow, burying her head in the snowdrift and shivering.
In the void beyond those towering, silvery-white mountain ridges, in that darkness where starlight was distorted and the wind and snow had completely ceased, an indescribable gaze was fixed on Luvia, whose eyes still held a faint purple light.
The terrifying gaze from the void met Luvia's eyes, and she immediately felt a stinging pain in them. With her eyes closed, she instinctively backed away, but stumbled and fell into the snow.
Then, a long-haired girl with a serious expression stepped out of the void and stood beside her. She couldn't believe that the evil god was actually looking at her.
“This has never happened before.”
The gaze of the gods, projected from a higher dimension, influenced everything around them from the level of the world's rules. The most obvious change was that the swirling snowflakes turned pure black. Of the items scattered along this silvery-white ridge, only those containing blasphemous elements continued to gleam with spiritual light, with the exception of a few others.
Of the four elements that were originally active simultaneously in the Fatumumst Snow Mountain region, only the element of blasphemy remained active at this moment. The silvery-white blasphemous aura almost turned into a tidal wave pouring towards Luvia, which manifested in the physical realm as black mist surging towards them from the outside of the mountain ridge.
Luvia, lying in the snow, could no longer open her eyes. Ellie, trembling with fear, covered Luvia's body with her own head to protect her.
However, this meant the "timid" unicorn couldn't protect its head, but its azure eyes also caught a glimpse of the ethereal, long-haired Luvia raising her right hand with a serious expression.
A miraculous aura bloomed in her palm like the sun, and a tidal wave of blasphemous elements flowed across them like parted oceans. Gold and silver collided, and the anomalies caused by the elemental anomalies made the space fluctuate violently like boiling water. Her body became increasingly transparent, but her purple eyes seemed to materialize at this moment.
"Have I finally earned the right to attract the attention of the gods before the end of the world?"
