Chapter 971: Chapter 453: The Oathbreaker Rona, The True Use of the Stars Authority and Abyss Authority_2

[In such circumstances, I don’t know how much faith I can place in the prophecy, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I must clasp it tightly!]

[I do not wish to see this world overrun by Chaos, to ultimately perish within it... You are my only hope.]

[I’ve resolved no longer to fear; I will continue to enhance my ’Analysis Power’, I must ascend to become the ’Great Prophet’... And you, you are the anchor point of my faith.]

[When breaking through the Human and God Limit, as long as I remember you, as long as I hold fast to this anchor point, even if I fall slave to Chaos, I firmly believe that on the day you return, I will be able to assist you...]

[...]

[Finally, I touched the boundary between humans and gods, once solid as an iron wall, now as thin as paper, easily puncturable with a simple prod.]

[The moment I made up my mind to breach the limit, I fell into a sudden slumber, dreaming once again of that great existence...]

[An ancient and benevolent voice told me that my perseverance, my devoutness, had moved the True God.]

[As the prophecy foretold, the True God’s apostle will descend again, and I shall once again fight alongside the apostle of the True God.]

[But when there is no path ahead, to leap into an abyss is not a rational choice. To choose another path and to keep moving forward is the action of the wise.]

[Go then, leave the Knowledge School, seek another path to divinity.]

[The True God knows all; He understands the steadfastness and devoutness in my heart, He will not blame me...]

[In a trance, I saw once more that elderly figure in white robe, with white hair, standing within a grandiose temple built of pure white characters, beside him lay a giant beast formed of characters.]

[The creature known as the ’Beast of Chaotic Knowledge’ opened its massive maw and lunged at me...]

[I awoke abruptly to find the vast amount of Chaos that had accumulated in my soul had vanished.]

[I knew it was that familiar beast that had consumed the Chaos, bearing the massive burden of Chaos on my behalf...]

[The events that just unfolded seemed like a dream, yet so vividly real; I realized I had greatly overestimated myself, the terror of Chaos is not something that can be weakened or shaken by mere will.]

[I should heed the will of the great existence, abandon piercing the reachable limit, and pursue another path to godhood that Chaos cannot corrode.] 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

[From then on, I betrayed the Knowledge School that I’ve worshiped my entire life, joined the Polar Star Association I once loathed to the core, seeking the Evil Authority of the Stars...]

[The process of joining the Polar Star Association went smoothly; they welcomed all oathbreakers who had turned away from the Almighty True Knowledge...]

[As I stood before a crowd of Stars devotees, devoutly praying and worshiping the idol of the ’Bright Stars’, offering lavish praise, the covenant and faith I once valued as my life left me, and I became the oathbreaker chasing the Stars I loathed most.]

[The many affirming gazes from the devotees of the Stars washed over me like dirty blood from head to toe, seeping into my skin, mingling with my veins... I knew, even with the nod of Omniscience, the ’unclean’ me could never return.]

[...]

[Given that I was the fastest rising, most learned Great Sage in the Imperial City before defecting to the Polar Star Association, the Association’s head, the ’Executor’, valued me greatly, and I devoted myself wholly to the Stars’ covenant...]

[After undergoing various tests, I rose through the ranks to become a confidant of the ’Executor’, gaining access to many core secrets.]

[These included the Polar Star Association’s experiments on fusing demons with Star Spirits, plans to exploit the five Ancient Dragon lineages, and even the schemes to awaken the Abyss, return the Stars to their places, and incite the third divine war.]

[Ironically, the records of the first war among the gods had already drowned in the river of history; had I not joined the Polar Star Association, I would have never known of the ’Abyss’, a fallen Evil Deity.]

[Perhaps because of my wholehearted service to the Stars, or because I had already touched the Human and God Limit, elevating my ’Analysis Power’ close to a deity’s, I mastered the Stars’ Authority quickly.]

[To this day, I feel I’ve touched a new Human and God Limit again.]

[Sadly, this path too could hardly be called the right one...]

[More regrettable, I still have not ascended to godhood before your arrival...]

[...]

[’Rona’, having said this, finally snapped out of her reverie, her gaze at you complex, with a surprise at an early gift received, yet tinged with regret for not being prepared...]

[She sighed, saying she knew you had many questions, and she could answer them all for you, now... can you untie her?]

[Will you untie ’Rona’?]

[By now, you understood that ’Rona’ was not the shameful oathbreaker she seemed to be. Of course, even if she were, you wouldn’t have the right to scorn her, for you too were once an oathbreaker...]

[You give a sheepish smile and immediately began to untie ’Rona’...]

[Since ’Lust’ had bound her in rather wicked fashions, you unavoidably touched a few sensitive spots as you unbound her...]

[’Rona’, rubbing her wrists, stood up and cast a cold glance at you before saying, speak then, what do you wish to inquire?]

[Apostle full of questions, what will you ask ’Rona’?]

[1. Inquiries regarding the experiments to fuse demons with Star Spirits. (knowledge already acquired)]
