Chapter 952: Chapter 467: Dragon God Witch

"What’s the matter?"

He looked at the Dragon Maiden, then at the dark-skinned young girl.

Inanna smiled without speaking, while Diao said, "Our ancestors were either among them or were their apprentices. In those ancient scrolls, there is a special account of this history. It wasn’t as brief as the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits, but lasted for hundreds of years."

"During that time, many people must have sacrificed," Li Ang said.

"Yes, so ultimately the birth of the profession of witch was not an easy task."

Diao widened her eyes, and Li Ang felt his figure becoming clearer in her pupils.

"The ancient scrolls record that under the union of the witches, giant beasts, and mysterious helpers, they finally defeated the enormous forces of the Deus People."

"This part I actually know."

Li Ang scratched his head, in Hedaya’s Star Palace, along with Zoe’s marvelous abilities, he had obtained this information before, and some of it he even experienced firsthand, while the little one experienced more.

"Actually, there are also the Six Dragons," Inanna added.

Although they couldn’t mobilize their real forms at will anymore, because the Deus People created Star Souls by drawing power from the Great Spirit, initially they used the Primordial Being’s method to shield the Six Dragons’ senses. When they discovered all this, the Six Dragons also began to eliminate them.

"Whether it was having the deputies participate in the battle or occasionally showing their true form to eliminate some troublesome enemies, we did plenty. Because we felt the need to be more involved in Nebis’ various matters."

After finishing her words, Inanna’s face turned red again, "However, because I was severely injured, I didn’t participate much."

Eliminating Star Souls can let the Great Spirit regain power, but this process is very lengthy.

Due to the binding of some cycles of nature with them during the creation of Star Souls by the Deus People, if they were eliminated violently, before these forces returned to the Great Spirit and entered the world’s cycle and order, that part of nature had already perished in the disaster.

Allowing the Star Souls to survive was both a necessary choice and a request someone made.

"Someone?"

Li Ang and Diao both looked at Inanna.

"Should be the mysterious helpers recorded in your tribe," the Dragon Maiden said to Diao.

"Is it the ’Divine Child’?"

"You know this too? Truly, All Spirits chose the right person." Diao’s smile grew wider.

As the three of them talked, the Illusion Realm switched to the ancient battlefield, even seeing it once more, Li Ang still admired the extraordinary destructive power these giant beasts could unleash, while the remarkable scenes left Diao speechless for a moment.

The battlefield gradually calmed, all participants returned to their camps, and the sky regained tranquility.

In the evening glow, Li Ang saw the Hill of Flowers, the place where the Divine Child passed away, surrounded by humanoid Star Souls.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Diao seriously watched the funeral for a while, then turned to Li Ang and said, "Great Witch, as someone who transcends ancient pioneers and re-masters the way of Spiritual Forging, you must be the one chosen by All Spirits, and His showing these scenes proves it."

At this moment, Li Ang no longer refuted this notion, he merely asked, "What does restoring equilibrium mean?"

"Perhaps it’s the way the world is supposed to be," Inanna said.

Supposed to be... Li Ang felt that the rightful way was like the Ancient Era scenario, with a world that had normal seas and lands, which obviously was too demanding for him alone as a Sky Knight.

"I can’t shoulder such a heavy burden, but if you talk about using this power to counter and erase traces left by the Primordial Being and Deus People, I might still manage."

Relying on this curse art and spirit casting art to wipe clean the stains left behind that others cannot handle, Li Ang felt achieving that would truly live up to All Spirits.

Judging from these illusion realms, the world would indeed be better without the Primordial Being and Deus People.

Perhaps only Zosia is half an exception, but precisely because of this, he died early.

Oh right, what he lastly gave was—

Li Ang opened the panel, and the Phantom of Zosia’s final gift astonished him.

[Hint: Received Demon King’s will, body modification: demonization module fully unlocked. Other demon skill trees and modification directions can be unlocked aside from the Six-armed Demon.]

Not this, big brother, can’t you give something like powerful spirit casting art, or even the Three Magic Scriptures of Material, Magical, and Spiritual? Come on.

Is this a surprise or a shock?

Even though he began to accept the controllable Demon Power internally, he couldn’t quite handle jumping straight into it.

All Spirits, did you specifically show Zosia just for this?

Li Ang already felt that the smile on Zosia’s phantom before it dissipated carried some malice.

Putting aside this matter temporarily and pretending it doesn’t exist, Li Ang asked Diao, "Have you always believed that someone would appear to ’restore equilibrium’?"

"This is what the ancient witches believed."

Diao narrated that in the years following their victory, the pioneers attempted to teach others the way of curses and spells, but they encountered a significant problem, leading them to gradually disappear one after another.

"All vanished?"

"Yes, following where they disappeared, the ancestors discovered a marsh island known as Zultin Marsh, where the remaining witches and ancient witches established a settlement."

Diao said, "Later, the witches continued to disappear one by one, and eventually, almost only those practicing other paths remained in the settlement."

"Was it the Ten Thousand Spirits that summoned them?"

Li Ang found the notion of them disappearing one by one a bit strange.

"Did they not discuss the problem among themselves? Did they just go off to die one by one?"

"According to the records left behind, some witches indeed mentioned hearing a kind of summoning, but the others didn’t say much. Before leaving, they all said that they were going for the balance of the world, and if they did not return, in the end, there would still be someone like them."

Li Ang remembered those white statues outside the gate before Zultin Marsh entered the Transcendent Realm, and when he entered the Oil Painting World, they came alive instantly.

And as the Great Witch said, the pioneers who returned to the Ten Thousand Spirits also appeared to stop him before he truly entered the Land of Ten Thousand Spirits.

This group of pioneers indeed seemed to have perished, but they were executing a certain will.

There’s no need to dwell on it now, keep moving forward, and you should be able to see it.

"That is—"

Inanna’s voice made the two of them turn their heads, and in the glow of the evening clouds in the sky, Bahamut appeared once more.

It was still in its light golden form, with layered scales that seemed light-forged, beautiful and majestic.

"Father God..."

Inanna seemed even more apprehensive than Li Ang and Diao.

Compared to them, when she faced Bahamut before, even if it was just its projection, she would be instantly reduced to her infantile state, more so separated from the demonized side.

The Divine Dragon spread its wings, stretched out its forepaw, and held the three of them.

At this moment, the Illusion Realm seemed to gain a sense of reality, with illusion and reality rapidly overlapping and resetting.

As the Realm of Ten Thousand Spirits got closer to the world Li Ang knew, he increasingly felt a peculiar sensation. The Illusion Realm lasted only a few days, yet it felt like he had truly experienced the long span of time since eternity.

Most importantly, even as heaven and earth changed, there was still a fate running through it all, entangling the affairs within and affecting the current Nebis, even the impending end just a stone’s throw away.

Nebis didn’t have much time left.

This was something neither Diao nor Inanna knew before them.

Even as powerful as the Six Dragons, they’re confined to this world and don’t know as much about this aspect as those like Da and Xiao Mei who crossed the boundary.

When Bahamut appeared, Li Ang suddenly had a feeling that the end was near and the juncture was just ahead.

This experience of the Sanctuary of All Spirits, regardless of whether the God truly existed or whether It was the collective will of all beings that had existed in Nebis, or even if it was a side of Bahamut, in any case, the Ten Thousand Spirits wanted him to do something related to the continuation of Nebis.

And in this, It gave him the power that It thought he should have mastered.

The curse was resolved, the Spiritual Forger was inherited.

So what else is there?

Was it Inanna’s issue? Or—

Li Ang didn’t have time to come up with an answer, as the Illusion Realm had completely disappeared, with the fluorescent water plants around proving this was the original layer of the Sanctuary of All Spirits.

"Ah..."

Diao took a deep breath, covering her mouth with her palm.

This wasn’t the lush, joyous land of all spirits, but rather the ruins of a battlefield.

Countless remnants and relic shells were solidified by an inexplicable force, remaining half the form they had in life... or rather just before their demise.

Because here, in the third dimension of non-material and magical power, all things exist in spirit form, they do not shatter, dissipate, or reincarnate. The spirits here should be able to flow freely, easily returning to the Ten Thousand Spirits.

Solidifying into terrifying remnants indicates that it was done by a kind of power beyond conventional forces that manipulate material with magical power.

Only witches, Spiritual Forgers... can achieve this step.

"Could this be the central hub of the Land of Ten Thousand Spirits?" Inanna frowned as she glanced around.

"Hard to say."

Apart from the frightful scene, the spirits here were even thicker than before, but they had lost their levity and joy, becoming tense and rigid, even fearful.

Something was binding them here.

"Ah, people are here, that’s great, since you managed to come here, you mustn’t be ordinary people, I should have hope now."

A crisp and pleasant, yet still vibrant despite the weakness and pain, voice of a young girl suddenly rang out.

Li Ang and his two companions looked towards the sound, and amidst the sharp blade-like remnants, a girl in a black long robe was leaning on a withered tree spirit, kneeling.

"Zo—"

Li Ang instinctively wanted to call out the name of the first member of the Star Flower Travel Corps, but he immediately realized this was definitely not Zoe. She had short black shoulder-length hair, and although her face was exquisitely beautiful, it was indeed different from Zoe, though the aura was quite similar.

"Who are you?" Diao and Inanna were both surprised and on guard, unable to believe there was a fourth person here.

"I’m Liluliss, the Witch of the Divine Dragon, look."

The black-haired girl tugged at the hem of her long robe, which was embroidered with a majestic giant dragon.
