Chapter 1127 150: Giving Everyone a Chance, with No Limit on Attempts
"And Arstala..."
Wilde sighed and said:
"Arstala, to be honest, it's incomprehensible. Everything before it is meaningless; you can't even understand why it exists. If it appears, then I fear I will never be able to communicate with you again. It doesn't mean you're destroyed, but I also don't know what might happen."
"Unknown, huh?" Dialan nodded. "I think I understand why you find it terrifying."
"Arstala isn't necessarily a fearsome Destroyer, but it will overturn everything that intelligent beings like us rely on for survival. Whether it's understanding the world or the material plane, everything will be completely changed. At that time, we... cannot predict what Status we'll be in."
Wilde said in a deep voice:
"Arstala will disrupt the future, turning everything into an unpredictable fog, nowhere to be found, directionless, even Chaos will seem so clear and distinct."
"The unknown brings Fear, but Fear at least keeps your mind clear. What Arstala brings is an irrational world where your wisdom, logic, thought, Worldview—all will be changed."
"What else could such a world be, except dreadful?"
Dialan remained silent.
To be honest, she barely understood what Wilde was saying because of differences in language context. Wilde often failed to express himself clearly, and his exaggerations, strongly subjective, left her puzzled.
"I'll keep this in mind."
She said:
"Wilde, do you have any thoughts about the matter we discussed before?"
"Descend then." Wilde said decisively: "Apart from descending, you probably don't have a better option."
"Is descending the only choice?"
Dialan's eyes darkened:
"Is that so? Turns out the order of Starry Abyss can't be broken even by the strength from Cevanti..."
"Hierarchy is everything in Starry Abyss. Before you can establish a new order, you'd better first understand the existing order system. Study it thoroughly."
Wilde thought of something:
"Are you thinking of wreaking havoc in Layer Abyss?"
"Resisting the Secret is my mission."
Dialan clutched the pendant on her chest, speaking solemnly:
"Aidel named me Dialan so that I could fiercely overthrow the Secret Society like the Dialan (Executer) of the Dominating Universe, Lord Leoz, driving these enemies out of Starry Abyss and restoring a clear sky for the Starry Abyss People."
"I can understand this feeling, but you also need to recognize the difference in Strength."
Wilde said with concern:
"You need companions, you need Strength. Go to the lower Starry Abyss; within the current system, this is the best choice."
After speaking, he suddenly changed the subject:
"Besides, Dialan, you actually have someone you care about down there, right?"
"Me?"
Dialan was startled, denying it vehemently:
"I don't like anyone currently—"
"I didn't ask you, anyway." Wilde laughed: "Still, it's true; you're in your thirties now, even though you're an experiment subject, a Longevity Breed, you should still consider for your normal life."
"Mission not achieved, unable to settle down."
Dialan shook her head, Gold eyes shimmering:
"I've enjoyed over thirty years of peace and power while countless Starry Abyss People endured Suffering from the Secret. Now that my responsibilities are almost fulfilled, with Baizhu Star's government stable, diplomacy successful, and people's lives improving—now, I have no reason to shirk responsibility."
"…Honestly, Dialan, even though you're not a natural Life, you have emotions, you have Rationality."
Wilde comforted her:
"When necessary, you can also be like an ordinary person, letting go and lying flat."
Dialan looked down at the pendant in her hand.
Wilde's words stirred some ripples in her heart.
She recalled the graduation photo on her desk, reminiscing about the times learning with classmates, communicating and competing in school, jointly facing attacks from the Canyue thugs...
"Hmm..."
Dialan slightly curled her lips, putting away the pendant:
"I'll talk about it after completely driving the Secret out of Starry Abyss."
"Did you just smile?" Wilde said in surprise: "Did you smile? You must have smiled just now!"
"Did I?" Dialan said indifferently: "Then let's say I smiled."
"You're the complete opposite of Father Jian, that guy sends people off smiling, and I've never seen you smile since growing so up."
"After all, the body aches every second. They say the highest level of pain is pregnancy, but Aidel said my genes are constantly collapsing and reorganizing, experiencing pain only slightly less than pregnancy."
She said lightly:
"But you get used to it. Pain helps maintain vigilance. Someday, when I've ended the Secret, I hope to have nerve surgery and never feel pain again."
"Love is the best painkiller."
"What I need is not a prescription but a gun for killing."
Dialan said:
"Anyway, thank you for your decision, Wilde."
"You're running short on Ether, remember to collect some and stay in touch."
Wilde's voice gradually faded:
"Also, Dialan, make sure to eliminate Arstala's vessel—"
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
The communicator suddenly rang, and Dialan abruptly raised her head, regaining Sobering. She turned on the communicator; it was her secretary, probably with something urgent. She quickly answered:
"This is Dialan."
"Sorry for bothering you so late, Prime Minister ma'am—several Descenders insisted on finding you, saying they have something to tell."
The secretary said quickly:
"They said Lord Leoz entrusted them to give you a message: reach out to Snow World Civilization, ask them about the issue of silent disappearance."
"Silent disappearance?" Dialan was surprised.
Originally, she was startled, but Leoz had mentioned the matter of 'silent disappearance' to her.
After Baizhu Star's independence, all countries under the Narrative Civilization's demand began strictly controlling messages about silent disappearance.
Most insiders followed the big group to the Crystal Tower Civilization, with only a few knowing about the original silent disappearance incident.
Initially, she worried she couldn't help after Leoz's departure.
"Book me a flight for tomorrow." Dialan said: "I'm going to secretly visit Snow World Civilization."
"Eh, but your plan for tomorrow is to visit war refugees in the Empire, and attend a group meeting—"
"How can the Narrative Civilization compare to Leoz's demands!"
Dialan said decisively:
"Forget about the group and the Empire; if it's Leoz's request, then even if Redd Gold blocks my way, I'll charge on."
