Chapter 371-1: Flanda’s Confession, Special Final Event (1)
[Flanda tells you that although the star-body looks like it can be passed through without hindrance, in truth, it cannot. There is mighty power barring the outside of the star-body. If you want to go to the Ninth Layer of the Sacred Nest, you must obtain the Writ of Audience.]
After Lin Xun killed Painbearer Belatu, one of the dropped spoils was exactly a key item called Writ of Audience.
This undoubtedly corroborated Flanda’s deduction that all the offspring were on the Ninth Layer at the center of the Sacred Nest.
Most likely, once Belatu’s clone body was reborn and awakened, if it had not run into them, it would already have used the Writ of Audience to cross the barrier and reach the Desire Wet Nurse’s Temple of Flesh and Blood.
[After learning that you possess the Writ of Audience, Flanda asks whether you want to remain on the Eighth Layer of the Sacred Nest to continue searching, or go straight to the Ninth Layer.]
Lin Xun could head directly to the Ninth Layer right now, but once he went in, that would probably mean triggering the final act of this chapter and facing off against the Wet Nurse.
As the saying goes, a general does not fight an unprepared battle.
Even if Flanda could not sense any living creatures within the range of her consciousness, that did not mean there were no demigod Shells on the eighth layer.
Had they not been searching in an ‘empty’ seventh layer when they encountered Painbearer Belatu and Asad, who was used as a prison for the malice subconscious?
However, the group searched the Eighth Layer of the Sacred Nest for a long time and still did not find any so-called demigod Shell.Lin Xun even summoned his four summons and sent them searching in different directions, but the entire eighth layer was truly empty, with no living creature at all.
After they spent more than half a day, they still had nothing to show for it.
[…]
[Kim scratches its head with its big scorpion pincers and dejectedly asks what they should do now. There simply is no suitable container on the eighth layer, and it is even less likely on the previous layers.]
[If only they could communicate with the great Firefly. If they could receive the Firefly’s guidance, they might be able to find a suitable container.]
[As it says this, Flanda’s eyes grow a bit dazed, then, as if she has thought of something, she speaks with determination. No, there is still one way to let the Oath bearer obtain a transcendent-level container.]
[Kim stares at Flanda’s resolute gaze and realizes what she is thinking. It hurriedly shouts in alarm, Flanda, you want to sacrifice yourself and provide a container for the Oath bearer?!]
[No, it absolutely does not agree!]
Lin Xun’s heart jolted.
If Flanda sacrificed herself, he could indeed get the demigod Shell he wanted, and a top-level demigod Shell at that.
But these two story characters had been fighting at his side since the beginning of the chapter.
The three of them had gone through hardship after hardship, and after weathering a thousand trials, they were now on the verge of clearing this chapter, about to reach the final battle with the Wet Nurse. He truly did not want to build his victory upon Flanda’s sacrifice.
[Kim loudly declares that if someone absolutely has to be sacrificed, then using its current Painbearer container is enough.]
[Since the Oath bearer does not have a parasitic factor bestowed by the Firefly and cannot parasitize the Painbearer container, it will pray and beg the Firefly. The Firefly definitely will not be stingy.]
[As it speaks, Kim hurriedly closes its eyes and raises its two big scorpion pincers to pray in silence, hoping to receive a response from the Primordial Firefly…]
[Flanda shakes her head and says it is useless. The Firefly is now putting all its strength into suppressing the Wet Nurse’s consciousness and has no power left to care about anything else. Otherwise, the three of them could never have reached this place unscathed.]
[After a long time, Kim lets its pincers droop in disappointment. Just as expected, there is no response from the main god.]
[Kim secretly grits its teeth and continues. If they cannot receive the Firefly’s response in the Sacred Nest, then they will go outside the Sacred Nest.]
Lin Xun was taken aback.
Even Kim, who shared the same web of consciousness with the Firefly, did not know the Firefly’s situation, so how did Flanda know?
[Kim still wants to argue, but Flanda softly apologizes, then grabs you in one swift motion. She stomps hard on the ground and shoots straight toward the gigantic star-body in the sky.]
[Kim’s face fills with anxiety as it hurriedly rises after you, but having only just grasped the ability of flight, its speed is unbelievably slow.]
[It can only watch helplessly as you and Flanda fly farther and farther away until your figures enter the star-body and vanish.]
[Kim is left alone to roar loudly where it is, its voice the very epitome of despair…]
[…]
[Flanda ignores Kim behind her and carries you as she flies across the sky. The moment you touch the boundary of the star-body, the Writ of Audience you carry begins to shimmer faintly.]
[A small opening suddenly appears in the boundary of the star-body. Flanda carries you straight through it and enters the Ninth Layer at the very center of the Sacred Nest…]
[At once, the scenery before your eyes undergoes an earth-shattering change!]
[Pitch-black aura scatters through the air and covers most of your field of view, and all of this black aura comes from the boundless ocean below your feet.]
[The surface of the sea surges and heaves. Cracked limbs and withered torsos rise and sink with the waves, surfacing on the sea.]
[The black water flowing from the limbs and torsos gradually transforms the dark red sea surface into pitch black. When you focus your gaze, you realize that these broken limbs all come from various angel warriors and the Wet Nurse’s offspring.]
[As the sea rolls, countless wisps of black aura drift outward, all of them floating toward the same direction…]
[There, over the surface of the sea, is a small island that floats. There is only a single magnificent and luxurious giant palace at the center of the island.]
[Endless aura of malice all rushes toward the only building on the island, Desire Wet Nurse’s Temple of Flesh and Blood!]
[O Apostle who has struggled through countless hardships, you have triggered an unknown special final event!]
[Please note that before you complete this final event, you cannot exit this chapter in any form!]
[If you forcibly interrupt the process of this chapter, the subsequent plot of this chapter will proceed according to what was left in your place by default until the chapter ends. You will not receive any rewards or interpretation rating!]
[Please note that after you complete this final event, you will be directly teleported back to the Library. After that, you will be unable to enter this chapter again!]
[Please settle your interpretation rating at the Book of Salvation in the Library!]
Lin Xun was stunned.
An ‘unknown special final event’ meant that the ending of this chapter was not included among any of the endings set by the Cursed game, so even the name of the final event was not shown.
On top of that were a series of restrictions such as being unable to exit and unable to interrupt.
He had never seen a situation like this before. It seemed that rewriting the Cursed game’s plot ending carried an enormous unknown impact.
[Flanda, seeing the scene in the sea, secretly clenches her fist and carries you over the ocean, descending straight onto the edge of the island…]
[She tells you that the Wet Nurse is in the Temple of Flesh and Blood at this very moment, and that the ocean you stand above is called the Sea of Cultivation. She has injected all the powerful Ascended beings, including her offspring, with an external factor called evil and melted them into the Sea of Cultivation…]
[These Ascended beings and offspring will all become the power fodder for the Wet Nurse’s new offspring.]
[If you want to eliminate the Wet Nurse, you must accept sacrifice…]
