The Enos civilization.
This civilization has passed many years, and the difference in the flow of time between it and the Noah World is the greatest.
In the past, when Noah’s six months had passed, Enos had already passed thousands of years. And now, Noah has also passed over a decade of time.
Time passed like flowing water.
Tens of thousands of years had passed. The once Enos civilization had evolved into a more advanced civilization. They collectively moved away from this primitive planet and embarked on a journey to explore other places in the vast universe.
In the present time, this planet is filled with a natural aura, a paradise for countless animals and plants.
Nature’s cycle!
All things are alive and thriving!
Merete Chambers, she appeared to be standing still in the sky, but she was actually moving at an incredibly fast speed, with the continents beneath her swiftly passing by."I once saw an elderly panda fishing in Belan World. It possessed formidable strength, deserving the title of a demigod, also known as the Apocalypse level… That old panda has lived for over three thousand years. We connected instantly, and he willingly shared with me… that he was destined to be the chosen one, born to save World."
Just like casual conversation between friends, the witch smiled as she recounted her past experiences.
"I didn’t believe it, but he claimed to be skilled in mixing drinks, fortune-telling, tea art, fishing, martial arts, swimming, and even had a vision at birth that foretold his destiny to save World… However, he didn’t understand why, after waiting for over three thousand years, he still hadn’t gotten the chance."
"This panda wanted to become a warrior to save World and be admired by many people. He trained hard and fought against evil in order to wait for that day to come. Time and time again, he saved villages and towns. When he realized it, although he didn’t actually save World, he had become a legend in people’s hearts, praised by countless people."
"So, in the end, he told me that World was not facing a catastrophic crisis, which was actually a good thing. He had finally let go."
Merete Chambers paused for a moment and then said,
"Perhaps, he simply had the potential to save World."
Bai Yan remained silent, quietly listening to Merete Chambers’ story.
So that’s how it was.
Panda Rowen, who had a great chance to reach Babel Tower but ultimately didn’t make it, lived in Belan World.
Many things in life are about fate.
He still remembered that after the Second Doomsday Crisis, he saw thousands of names appearing in the card pool, and even the number was still growing.
In theory, those people all have the potential to save World!
In the land of Annottales, there was a Silver Knight, a woman who was as reckless as a drunkard. She had the potential to become a member of Babel Tower, and had the chance to save World. However, in the end, she never officially arrived at Babel Tower.
And there, in the Air Alliance, was a fox who was doted upon by "humans", just like a little guardian of animals.
Even though the old character that had been used multiple times in the first playthrough, in the second playthrough, she was not drawn… And in the end, there was no need to draw her again.
"Phew, why aren’t you saying anything?" Merete Chambers asked with a smile after saying a bunch of words.
[There wasn’t much to say.]
Merete Chambers extended her finger and gave it a playful wiggle in midair, looking rather mischievous.
"My most respected master, the great Savior, I actually have a lot, a lot, a lot of questions that I wanted to ask you."
"May I ask?"
Bai Yan calmly responded.
[Say whatever you want to say, there’s no need for any cryptic remarks.]
Merete Chambers immediately began a question-and-answer session.
"How did you come across the Babel Tower?"
["What can’t be said," she replied mysteriously.]
"Hmm, how would you normally use the Babel Tower?"
["Couldn’t say," she replied with a mysterious smile.]
"Okay, I won’t ask about this for now… Can you use the powers of all the members of Babel Tower?"
["Indeed, I can," she replied with a confident smile.]
Merete Chambers expressed an exaggerated expression, clapping her hands and exclaimed, "Wow, wow, wow! Well, that is truly amazing! So incredibly powerful!"
["Is there anything else you want to ask? And as I mentioned before, there’s no need for any cryptic remarks," she added.]
She paused for a moment and said, "I shouldn’t be cryptic… I can’t just mock you directly, right?"
[It’s up to you.]
"Every day, do you stay behind the scenes and watch us? Is it interesting to silently observe people’s hearts and secretly monitor everyone?"
Merete Chambers squinted and said,
"If it were me, I would find it very interesting."
But Bai Yan’s earnest response caught her completely by surprise.
[It is truly fascinating, manipulating so many different and unique characters, as if they were characters in a game.]
[But besides finding it interesting… I also gradually started experiencing an emotion I had never felt before.]
[A sense of responsibility.]
[At first, I was carefree and treated everything as a game. It didn’t matter if someone died or if World would eventually be destroyed.]
[Yes, that’s how I thought at the beginning.]
[But as I observed the daily life and undertook various tasks, I gradually started to change…]
[They might have been changed by me, or maybe they believed from the start, gradually beginning to trust the Babel Tower and willing to rely on the Savior… and willing to sacrifice everything to achieve the goal of saving World through the Babel Tower.]
[If, at this moment, I still treated everything as a game, wouldn’t I be deceiving those who believe in this goal?]
[I don’t want to deceive, nor do I want to… disappoint those who trust me.]
Bai Yan thought that after the witch heard, she would speak mockingly, or continue with her mysterious and sarcastic tone.
However, Merete Chambers remained silent for a long time before answering faintly:
"So that’s how it is… You really are a gentle hero, isn’t it?"
"Gentle?" he questioned tenderly.
It’s hard to say, really.
Bai Yan reminisced. In the game "Babel Tower," many chosen members of the Babel Tower experienced the training simulation. They cried and begged for mercy, dying again and again, yet they couldn’t escape because they couldn’t pass the level.
Even the resilient Mu Ling, at the beginning, felt utterly overwhelmed by the pain she inflicted upon herself through self-criticism.
The witch was the last person to join Babel Tower, and she didn’t endure much hardship during the Training Simulation. In fact, due to her personality, even if she died inside, she didn’t care in the slightest.
Another thing is, according to Merete Chambers’ belief, the weak should be dominated by the strong.
So, she didn’t think there was any problem with that.
She never held any resentment towards Babel Tower and the Savior.
"We have arrived."
As they spoke, the two of them had arrived on the enchanted island.
This island was slowly moving forward… In the depths of this place, there was a grand altar prepared by the mad Queen Enos, who desired to ascend to godhood.
However, now both the Philosopher’s Stone and the altar for ascension belonged to Bai Yan.
Perhaps, in a way, what she said back then was right.
Bai Yan was trying to take away everything from her.
But in reality, Bai Yan didn’t kill her for these benefits. Instead, it was because she had insanely destroyed the souls of countless people.
If she was an innocent person back then, even with the task of the "Babel Tower" and such great benefits, Bai Yan would never lay a finger on her.
He would not become a slave to the Babel Tower and the game of "Babel Tower".
Today, driven by a mission, he kills the innocent. Tomorrow, he will kill his loved ones.
Looking around, everything here appeared nearly the same as before.
However, everything had become old and worn, filled with weeds. Clearly, many years had passed without anyone visiting.
On the pristine altar, there lay a giant, crimson heart, symbolizing the unfinished Ultimate Ritual.
Merete Chambers calmly said, "I have qualified to become a god… Over the course of three thousand years, Belan World has completely evolved and progressed under my control."
This was indeed her true purpose for lingering in Belan World for three thousand years.
For this day.
[Well then, let’s begin.]
The ultimate ritual back then was incomplete.
But later, Bai Yan discovered through the projection how to make it complete.
That meant injecting another force into the giant heart, so that the power of miracles would no longer be wild and unstable.
The Power of Origins!
Merete Chambers asked, "Can you still use the power of the Babel Tower?"
[Yes, just like how I can still control you, I can still do it, albeit very weakly…]
Bai Yan with an incomplete soul once again performed Power Possession!
Although the released power has a low level of strength, fortunately, there is no need to worry about the amount at all. As long as it keeps flowing, constantly flowing… the ritual can be fully replenished.
The Power of Origin!
Actually, he already possessed it!
Infinity!
