SWNOVELXO Chapter 638: Great Vision
Chen Lun's consciousness gradually faded into silence.
His perception of the outside world slowly retracted, and the last image he saw was Neil struggling at the helm of a small boat, taking his pregnant wife Rafaela away into the dark sea.
'I hope when I wake up again, I can see the results…'
Chen Lun was full of anticipation.
He bestowed Neil with the knowledge of Low Sequence from the paths of Sorrow and Joy, with a simple purpose. He wanted to see how this "Serpent's Favored" of the Holy Fire Pathway would blossom after absorbing the strength of Nature, Destiny, and Magic.
Destiny Sequence Two [Nameless].
It's the ascension of mythical beings into eternal existence. Apart from the qualitative enhancement that comes with the previous sequences, it also grants an ability comparable to the Gods — turning illusion into reality!
Transforming fictional destiny into the real deal.
This means not only can one fabricate a character, but also concoct a real and complete destiny, integrating it seamlessly into reality, making it a predetermined development trajectory, part of history, an indispensable element of the world.
By then, with the "Hide and Seek" bookmark's "Secret" authority, Chen Lun would be able to arbitrarily add or modify the course of the world unnoticed by others...
Here's a simple example.
When extending the timeline over decades or centuries, Chen Lun could even fabricate a person, allowing them to become King according to a destined path, without anyone in the Kingdom realizing that everything was pre-arranged.
How the Kingdom should develop afterward, whether to expand and wage war, or to remain conservative and build, would all be at Chen Lun's whim.
This is a chilling illusion.
As for Destiny Sequence One [Ouroboros].
As the "final station" at the end of the Path of Destiny, the sequence in which Your Majesty Oscar resides, it holds a more terrifying Sequence Ability — turning reality into illusion!
Utilizing control over Destiny, [Ouroboros] can easily transform real entities into fictional constructs by abstracting their destiny lines, thereby making arbitrary changes or additions...
In other words, [Ouroboros] can alter the established reality.
And Chen Lun harbors limitless expectations for this.
Thus he chose Neil as an object of observation.
He had a thought.
This thought arose the moment he acquired knowledge of [Ouroboros], yet he never mentioned it to anyone, deeply burying it in his heart.
Until he voyaged across the seas to the Outer Continent, witnessing the marvel and potential of the Holy Fire Pathway in Neil, did this thought re-emerge.
This time, it became stronger and more determined.
That is—
Chen Lun plans in the future, when he ascends to [Ouroboros], to transform his real self into fiction, and then fabricate a completely new self, turning it into reality.
Then, he would gain an endlessly potent, god-like authority yet as blank as a white paper "self"!
Should this self walk the Holy Fire Pathway, and then return to absorb the ten Pathway strengths of the Anita Continent…
What kind of spectacle would that be?!
Even Chen Lun himself cannot predict!
At the last moment before his slumber, upon recalling this thought, he had a shuddering guess...
Did Ring Duke Klaff foresee his thoughts?
Guiding him to the Outer Continent and eventually uncovering the secret of the Holy Fire Pathway, giving birth to such ideas in him.
Is this truly the way to save the world?
Indeed...
Even if he ultimately becomes a God, it's just being a second Ring Duke, something even the Ring Duke couldn't achieve, how could he?
But if he really accomplished all this.
Would it not be equivalent to prematurely fulfilling the ancient "Azure Holy Fire"'s intent, devouring the ten pathways and thus obtaining unimaginable strength!
In the words of the ancestors, this is "mastering foreign skills to control the foreigners"...with Original Sin "No Return Land" in hand, Chen Lun needn't worry about being at a disadvantage in authority upon treading the Holy Fire Pathway.
Even the ancient "Azure Holy Fire" could hardly influence him.
It must swallow this silent loss!
But…
Why doesn't the Ring Duke do it himself?
Chen Lun believes, if it were the Ring Duke, this silent guardian of the Anita World, he would definitely do better than himself!
But he perished…
And he, inherited everything from him, completing the great task he left unfinished.
In his vague consciousness, Chen Lun pondered over many things.
It's unknown how long has passed, but his senses once again found themselves in a world of blinding white, where endless gray mist lingered.
The figure, both unfamiliar yet familiar, still sat at the world's end.
Presenting Chen Lun with a solitary back view.
"Aaron, you are my greatest hope, what I couldn't achieve back then, only you can."
Without turning back, came the voice of his father, Chen Feng.
This was the second time Chen Lun came here, and also the second time hearing his father, or the Ring Duke, say these words to him.
No…
Not the second time!
In an instant, memories surged in Chen Lun's mind, recalling his childhood.
He had heard his father say them not once.
Saying goodbye in front of the hovercar when sending him to school, watching TV together after dinner at home, or sometimes during occasional outings...
One scene after another flashed like lightning in Chen Lun's heart.
These words, like countless fathers' hopes for their sons to succeed, appeared to hold no deeper meaning; as a child, he never cared or pondered.
