Chapter 1043
1043 The fate stone
Fu couldn’t give a definite answer to his boss’s request, so he only said, ” “boss, i’ll try my best, but i can’t guarantee success.”
After all, Fu had previously mentioned that his connection with Emperor Paul was one-sided.
He would only receive the signal when the other party wanted to contact him.
Usually, no matter how Fu tried, he would not get any response.
Fu sat opposite link and closed his eyes to enter the realm of consciousness. He began to call out to Emperor Paul, hoping to get a response.
in the world of his consciousness, everything was pitch-black, and only fu could see clearly within a square inch.
It was like a lost traveler walking through a fog that could not be seen far away.
Fu’s call spread in the world of consciousness, but there was no response after his voice drifted.
Fu was dejected. It seemed that he couldn’t complete the task given by his boss.
Although he was created from a part of Emperor Paul’s personality, he was not Emperor Paul’s true body, so it was impossible to guess what he was thinking.
However, just as Fu was about to leave, a hole suddenly appeared in the darkness. A beam of light pierced through the darkness and landed on Fu.
“I heard you were looking for me? Then it’s probably for link. Speak.” although emperor paul couldn’t read fu’s mind, fu’s personality came from him. emperor paul had given his purity, kindness, and luck to fu, so he naturally knew why fu was looking for him.
fu was stunned,”ah, you already know?” then i’ll get straight to the point, the boss wants to meet you.”
Emperor Paul’s voice rang out once more, ” “It’s rare that link wants to see me. Call him in then.”
Fu turned and left the space. She said excitedly to link, boss, Emperor Paul has agreed to meet with you!
Link placed a hand on Ah Fu’s shoulder and sent his thoughts into the space of his consciousness.
“This must be the second time we’ve met, link,”
emperor paul’s voice rang out in the dark space of consciousness, sounding melodious and ethereal.
“It’s your first time,” link replied without changing his expression. I think we should at least see each other face to face, just that one time in the wasteland.”
“Hehe, I think I know why you’re looking for me.” Emperor Paul laughed in a deep voice, his magnetic voice causing the air in the space of consciousness to bubble.
“you want to see me with your own eyes and see the difference between us, right?”
The confrontation between the two had already begun.
Link didn’t deny that a battle of this level couldn’t be solved with schemes. Lying would make you lose the initiative and lower your aura, then you’d be suppressed by the other side.
Link shrugged. after all, you’re trapped in the wall of origin. If you want me to save you, I’ll have to know what level I’m qualified to go. otherwise, if you go there rashly and get sucked to the wall of origin, won’t your plan be completely ruined?”
“I won’t. I chose you because you’re a person without fate. The wall of origin was cast by the fate stone, and all powerful creatures that tried to resist fate would be trapped to death on the wall of origin. You have no fate, so unless you are willing, you will not be affected by the wall of origin.”
This was Link’s first time hearing this.
at the same time, link noticed that the mission progress for [ understand the past and seek the truth ] was also increasing. he could not help but be secretly happy.
As the most mysterious mission, link had yet to find any clues.
Previously, after Fu had revealed the truth to him, the mission progress had increased from the initial 10% to 50%.
After conversing with Emperor Paul, he only knew about the story of the wall of origin, and it had actually increased by 10%. If they continued to chat, the price would probably rise even more.
I can’t verify the truth of what you’ve said, so the best way is to show yourself. I have my own judgment.
Link insisted on his conditions and was in a deadlock with Emperor Paul.
“Alright, I admit that what you said makes sense.”
The dark space cleared the clouds and revealed the sun. The darkness was completely dispelled, and a vague human figure appeared.
The figure was a little blurry, as if it was separated by a layer of fog. Only the outline and the color of the clothes could be seen, and no other details could be seen.
“My body and soul are sealed on the wall of origin,” Emperor Paul explained.”That’s why I can only appear in the form of energy. Thus, the blurriness isn’t an act of mystery, but rather the energy can’t be too condensed.”
link understood and nodded.
Emperor Paul was stronger than he had thought. With his body and soul sealed, he could still appear in the form of energy. His physical strength was definitely at [ A+] level.
Such power still could not escape the barrier of the wall of origin. It could only be said that the wall of origin was indeed the most mysterious place in the universe.
Link could feel Emperor Paul’s energy. It was a type of chaotic energy that he couldn’t explain. It was mixed with life energy from the same source as him.
While link was sizing up Emperor Paul, the Emperor was also observing link.
the energy in link’s body was pure death energy, and it was extremely strong.
At the same time as the death energy, the blood also contained the powerful Zerg life blood.
Such an energy state where life and death overlapped was very strange. It could even be said to be a unique existence in the universe.
This was very different from the last time Emperor Paul had seen link.
Such a powerful death energy was stronger than any undead creature Emperor Paul had ever seen.
Moreover, Link’s current energy level was terrifying. Every cell contained terrifying energy, as if there was a small universe inside. Rather than calling it a cell, it was more like an energy ball.
your growth has already exceeded my expectations. You’re no longer worse than I was at my peak.
Emperor Paul was not stingy with his praise.
Link checked Emperor Paul’s data. Just his energy body alone was already at A+ strength. The emperor’s words of ” no worse than his peak ” made link curious. What kind of glory did Emperor Paul have at his peak?
At the very least, in his previous life, the Army of a million players had been forced back by Emperor Paul.
[ name: Emperor Paul (energy body) ]
[ race: energy body ]
[ level: LV110 +(legendary) ]
[ HP: 5 million/5 million ]
[ energy: 2 million/2 million ]
Skill: unknown
[ description: a mysterious and powerful being trapped within the wall of origin, but the mastermind behind everything. ]
Just the energy form alone had over 5000000 HP, and all of its skills were unknown. The system’s evaluation of it was also quite high.
“tell me how you got trapped on the wall of origin. I remember the last time we met, I saw that there were many other Titan and prehistoric creatures on the wall of origin besides you.”
Link continued digging deeper into the wall of origin. It was closely related to the mission. Link wanted to see if he could complete the mission through this exchange.
“Hehe.”
Emperor Paul only chuckled softly. From this smile, link had a strong feeling that Emperor Paul seemed to know about the existence of the mission.
although link had no proof, his subconscious and sixth sense told him that emperor paul knew!
But he didn’t refuse, and said, ” “As I said before, the wall of origin is made of fate stones. Its function is to pull all people who exceed their original destinies into the wall of origin and carry out eternal ‘sealing’.
One must know that mortals could not reject their own fate. even if there were changes, they would be minor changes that would not cause chaos in the logic and fate of the universe.
Those who had the ability to change their fate were often powerful existences. It was also because of this that the wall of origin only imprisoned some powerful beings. These existences were not dead, but had fallen into a dormant state. I, on the other hand, can continue to exist in a ‘living’ state due to some special reasons.”
when emperor paul was done, link noticed that the mission progress had increased by another 10%. now, it was at 70%.
Link’s heart skipped a beat and he continued asking, “I’ve heard from Fu that you’ve guided me through everything and made me grow in the direction you’ve set for me. Now that I’ve grown to a height that you have no choice but to face, what other means do you think you have to control my actions?”
“i really don’t have any means to control your actions. However, I have to remind you that the wall of origin will slowly consume my energy and put me into a dormant state. I don’t have much time left to be awake. Once I fall asleep, my other personalities will also be affected, hehe.”
Link’s eyes sharpened. “If you were in a deep sleep, what would happen to Fu?”
“Fu and I are the same person with different personalities. Although Fu was an independent entity from the body to the mind, it was still inextricably linked to the main body. Once I fall into a deep sleep and can’t restrain the wall of origin, the wall of origin will find Fu, who also goes against fate, and absorb him into the wall of origin.”
Emperor Paul’s tone was calm, but the content of his speech made Link’s heart jump.
He had already mentally prepared himself for the possibility that Emperor Paul and Fu were the same person, and that there must be some sort of connection between them. Link had thought of the worst possible outcome. Emperor Paul’s life would be linked to AFU’s.
But now, the situation had become even more troublesome.
Emperor Paul had created Fu, and although the two of them had different personalities and were independent individuals, Fu was still born from Emperor Paul.
now, emperor paul was like an existence standing in front of the wall of origin, making the wall of origin believe that the ‘person who had surpassed fate’ had been captured. However, once Emperor Paul fell into a deep sleep, the wall of origin would discover that there was an individual Beyond Fate behind Paul.
Link was powerful, but he was only on the same level as Emperor Paul. He was still far from being able to deal with the wall of origin.
At that time, Fu would definitely be captured by the wall of origin and fall into a deep sleep.
Link didn’t feel much for Emperor Paul.
However, AFU was different. He was Link’s earliest follower and had been loyal and dedicated the entire time. He was both Link’s servant and friend. Link would definitely not sit back and watch as Fu was captured by the wall of origin.
alright, you win. You do have a reason to influence my choice.
Link “yielded” in a rare moment, but then he changed the topic and said,”I’m not helping you, I’m helping Fu. since you’re connected to fu, you must know that i don’t like to make a losing deal. If you want me to take action, you’ll have to pay a price.”
Emperor Paul laughed. ya Zhi Zi? the Zerg nest? these aren’t considered as such, are they? ”
Link smiled and replied,”Satoko is my reward for being the first to meet the observer race.” Fu was the one who found the Zerg nest and brought it back. i got all of this by relying on my own power and strength, what does it have to do with you? don’t take credit for yourself, okay?”
Link’s “act of ignorance” left Emperor Paul speechless.
“Then what do you want me to pay?” Emperor Paul asked.
“That depends on what you have, or what price you think saving you is worth,” said link, beating around the bush.
“Then I think I only need to say a few words to you.”
“I am all ears. I’d like to see how much weight these few words carry.”
“First, behind the wall of origin, there are the mysteries of the origin of the universe. It can even imprison Titans and newborns, which means that the civilization that created this device is extremely advanced. Even the first born creatures of the universe have to be imprisoned by the laws, which can be traced back to the mystery of origin.”
“Second, you are a man without fate and are not bound by the wall of origin. At the same time, you’re also the manifestation of the death energy of the universe, and the power of rules also dissociates outside the wall of origin. You must know that the power of laws is the power that the universe acquiesces to. This kind of power only exists as a balance, there is no such thing as overstepping the boundaries, so Do you understand now, Yingluo?”
Being able to explain clearly but still wanted to be a Riddler. Link had only one evaluation of this kind of person-deliberately mystifying things.
But link did understand.
The power of death in his body and the Phoenix’s power of life were opposing cosmic energies. They were also the most original power of life and death that made up the universe.
The energy he had was the manifestation of death, which meant that he was part of the universe and could be immune to the wall of origin. This was equivalent to giving him double insurance.
Apart from that, there was no need to worry about the balance of the power of life and death.
Link was the incarnation of death energy, and when the Phoenix was killed, Miranda was the representative of life energy.
Link was in charge of life and death. There was no need to balance it.
At the same time, this also meant that Sean and Miranda were also immune to the wall of Origin’s attraction of fate. In the following schedule, he had to train them as soon as possible to become the main force in rescuing Emperor Paul.
“Third, you must be careful when you approach the wall of origin. The wall of origin is not dead. It has life and wisdom, and can enslave and control captured people to fight for it. Therefore, you’ll have to face a group of powerful people who have defied fate.”
When Emperor Paul finished speaking, link received a pleasant system notification.
congratulations on completing the mission [understand the past and seek the truth ].
you have received Tomoko’s blueprint (incomplete), phoenix egg, 100 potential points.
