730 -86: Countdown for the Two Constants_2
The future also took two completely different paths.
One wandered through thousands of worlds among humanity, becoming the greatest devil in this world, at least his original intention didn’t change, he indeed was dealing with Orderer Constantine.
However, the other became the vessel for Orderer Constantine, an existence closest to Orderer Constantine himself.
It seemed he had already strayed far from his initial resolve, and the two really seemed to have become enemies.
Shaking his head, Constantine came back to his senses and carefully reviewed the records of the past few days.
He slowly began to notice something—
All the Trial Knights, before they became Trial Knights, their human bodies’ physical data was organized and recorded by Constantine under “management” status.
It was a huge set of data, ranked according to comprehensive performance.
And now, he had found it.
Looking at this data, Constantine pondered.
“Is this to select the strongest vessel?”
If Tang Xian were not there, Constantine was certain that he himself would be the strongest vessel, especially since his consciousness was already in a semi-detached state.
And looking at the set values of various abilities in the data, he was indeed the strongest overall.
Constantine did not find Tang Xian among the data.
What he saw instead was a countdown.
The meaning of this countdown represented the end of a certain project.
Constantine guessed that he might only live for seven more days.
After that, perhaps he would just become a higher-level Trial Knight.
But he still felt that something was amiss.
“That’s not right, ‘I’ must have been up to something else during my time in the divine kingdom.
There should be some special data, Tang Xian is not a Trial Knight, so this data…
it shouldn’t belong to Tang Xian, right?”
“If I am not the final vessel, then who have you chosen?
Where is that vessel hidden?”
“You have observed this world, watched countless humans for hundreds of years, your rule is facing the greatest threat…
And yet, at this crucial moment, you are not managing those Trial Knights.
What exactly are you doing?”
With countless questions, Constantine spent his first day.
…
…
Mount Sanctus, the second day.
Tang Xian continued to observe the chameleon deity’s cloaking ability, still using his sense of smell to detect its location,
Based on the observations from the previous day, he had formulated a rough plan, and the second day was just for verification.
During this process, Tang Xian noted down many a tomes of the myriad beasts.
He memorized all these contents.
The knowledge accumulated by the Myriad Beast Court over hundreds of years was welcomed by him, imprinted thoroughly in his mind.
Come nightfall, combining the observations from yesterday, Tang Xian was finally ready to take action.
He went to the place where the deity usually fed and then hid inside the food.
Tang Xian carefully calculated that with his current speed, he could enter the deity’s stomach before it could escape.
At the same time, with his current vitality, he was also able to withstand the erosion of the deity’s stomach acid.
The chameleon’s food was rotting flesh which the Long-Eared Macaques prepared specifically.
Tang Xian had already observed carefully.
It wasn’t hard to blend in, the real challenge was to suppress the disgust and patiently wait inside the rotting flesh.
With his already extraordinary sense of smell, the intense stench was extremely uncomfortable for Tang Xian.
This was a long-necked zebra, an enhanced level creature.
To go unnoticed, Tang Xian had to burrow into the zebra’s esophagus.
The decaying mucus almost made him retch several times, but eventually Tang Xian slowly adapted.
That day, he lay in ambush within the food source for three hours until, to his relief, the hiding deity appeared.
This creature, which had also given Tang Xian quite a headache, revealed an expression of panic for the first time as it opened its mouth to feed, and a gleam of gold shot out.
Instinctively, the deity moved into its escape mode.
All scents disappeared in an instant.
Tang Xian felt as though he was transported along with the deity’s stomach into a different space.
But this was not a different space.
“Truly a magical ability, but now you can no longer get rid of me.”
[Come out!]
“Sure, but before that, you need to take me out of here.”
[Despicable Eden Tribe, do you think I will yield to your wish?]
“I hope this world is a wonderful place because I really am a cultured, easy-going person who values fairness and justice.
Help me, and you live; refuse, and you die.”
[“My loyalty to the Lord Judge is as clear as day and night!”]
“Touching, so touching.”
God Fade originally intended to rush to the altar to inform Judge Tang Xian of his actions, but the excruciating, tearing pain from its stomach prevented it from moving.
It couldn’t even let out a howl because its throat had also been pierced by Tang Xian.
“The power of the Gold-Breaking Beast easily slices through your soft and smooth internal organs.”
“I’ve never actually eaten chameleon before, especially not one as big as you.
You should be helping me, truly, if you help me now, at the very least you can still serve the Judge, but if you die and I take your abilities, do you know what I can do?”
“Not to hide anything from you, but I’m a ‘Euroroll miracle-drawer,’ I’m certain to obtain your abilities.”
“So why bother?
Do you really have to let yourself die here and leave an insensible opponent for your Lord Judge?”
Tang Xian’s strategy of psychological warfare never ceased, but this chameleon was incredibly rigid.
God Fade’s loyalty to the Judge was almost a blind loyalty.
He thought of how Tang Feiji was so incredibly loyal to Sea God, Bai Shuang to the Silver Galaxy Beast of the mountains, and the Mystical Bird to the Nether Phoenix.
Even someone with a disposition like Tang Feiji was willing to swear the unequal covenant of the Dragon Origin Blood Oath.
So after contemplating, he assumed that God Fade held an irrational loyalty to the Judge as well.
Tang Xian, with no other choice, could only kill God Fade.
After God Fade’s death, Tang Xian was filled with a sense of loss.
Dreams are full, but reality is stark.
Where’s this Euroroll miracle-drawer?
For an unlucky person to survive in this world is too hard.
Unfortunately, Tang Xian did not acquire God Fade’s abilities.
His plan thwarted, he could only continue with a backup plan.
This is the second day.
On this day, the fortresses of the Human World’s Pyramid, like those of people such as Jiang Ming and Liu Qiang, gradually began to notice something odd about the Trial Knights.
But everything had yet to erupt.
…
…
The Throne of God, day two.
Orderer Constantine continued to record his various actions.
The outside world became more chaotic, and although the Li family finally began to suppress those Trial Knights suffering from “Homesickness of the Divine Nation,” it was all too late.
People’s perception of the Trial Knights and their trust in the Pyramid plummeted.
As a supervisor, Constantine could observe every corner of the Pyramid.
The reputation of Song Que, who was loyal to Tang Xian, rose yet again to an unprecedented height.
Rumors had already begun to spread across the world that outside the Pyramid, there was a sanctuary for the Human World.
That place, abandoned by the forebears hundreds of years ago, had not forsaken these humans.
This claim was nearly shaking the very foundation of the Pyramid.
Once the Pyramid was no longer the sole habitat, people would not only lose faith in the Pyramid but might even develop an aversion due to their anticipation of the outside world.
Deep down, everyone craves novelty; this doesn’t conflict with nostalgia.
Constantine didn’t care, “Orderer Constantine” didn’t care either.
He could feel it, the ultimate evolution was about to be completed.
An existence most terrifying was about to emerge.
Constantine trusted his instincts; if this monster truly came into being, then all his years of efforts would be in vain.
But similarly, if he really prevented the birth of this monster, then as the best vessel, he could still live much longer.
“I walk a different path from you, but I have not broken my word.”
Constantine once again recalled his past with Tang Xian, unconsciously murmuring these words.
There were fewer than six days left, but now he had only a vague outline of this plan.
He had not yet found the whereabouts of that ultimate vessel.
The entire world seemed to have entered a countdown state.
It appeared that humans were about to flee the Pyramid en masse.
The world of the mining districts, the mining districts’ world, it was said that not long ago, a great change occurred there—the wild beasts began to crazily converge towards a certain place.
But Constantine no longer had time to ponder these issues.
He must find a way to keep himself alive in the last few days.
