CHAPTER 362: CHAPTER 192: THE LAST SAVE POINT BEFORE THE BOSS FIGHT

"It is neither a projection nor a phantom body."

"But rather the moment when they return from exile at the far end of the multiverse and meet each other’s real bodies."

Shiayar’s gaze lingered for a moment on the young Golden Elf hidden behind the shadowy curtain.

Then, he withdrew his gaze.

Turning around, he left the World Tree Shard World and entered the darkness of the Lost Island.

In the sky, hundreds of pseudo-stars converged into a river of stars, flowing, undulating, and rotating above the Eternal Night’s curtain.

They cast down a layer of cool afterglow.

Shiayar thus bathed in the starlight.

In the next moment, a flash of mercury light flickered in his hand and disappeared.

The Lost Island belongs to the world of the Ancient Sun God.

Here, not only space but even the river of time’s flow suffered distortion.

Just as the Ancient Sun God said, with His rank at the peak, the gap to truly transcend time’s flow and history is not too far.

Even though having experienced the great catastrophe, within the Lost Island, it still had the effect of disrupting time’s flow.

If relying solely on Shiny’s ability, Shiayar would barely manage to return to the Fourth Epoch.

However, since he entered the Lost Island, Shiayar had already prepared the contingency.

A contingency that allows him to ignore the environment, ignore the rules, and force himself out of battle.

A mercury-colored little serpent quietly emerged in The Void.

Then, it was placed in Shiayar’s palm.

He took out the gun, "Sea Blue Judgment," strengthened multiple times by Jayee, from his arms.

Then, he pointed the gun muzzle at the mercury-colored little serpent.

"Sorry to trouble you, Snakey."

"As long as I shoot you, we should be able to forcibly trigger Destiny Backtracking and return to the Fourth Epoch, right?"

The Mercury Serpent glanced at the dark gun muzzle in Shiayar’s hand and couldn’t help but roll its eyes.

How could you feel comfortable asking this question?

Well, after all, I’m just a tool serpent, I’m used to it.

"Ssss~ (According to the destiny’s feedback given to me, indeed, it is true.)"

It flicked its tiny tongue, glanced heavily toward the towering World Tree, its pupils shining with brass color.

"Ssss~ (But — Master, I must clarify something for you first.)"

"Sss~ (The Ancient Sun God hasn’t completely recovered yet, so there’s a high chance he won’t notice our actions now.)"

"Sss~ (However, once He completely unseals, He will definitely have the ability to interfere with the flow of destiny.)"

"Ssss~ (In other words, once He fully awakens and begins his takeover, we may have no chance to activate Destiny Backtracking and start over again.)"

This is an obvious fact.

The rank of the Mercury Serpent is merely that of a True God.

Although relying on destiny’s uniqueness, it can be considered special among the Fabled Creatures... But once the Ancient Sun God fully awakens, there’s not necessarily a lack of means to deal with destiny.

"I understand—"

"If we were now playing a single-player game, then now would be the last supply point and safe house before the BOSS fight."

"The Ancient Sun God is like the big BOSS waiting for challengers in the BOSS room."

"And your role is like the system sound prompting us of the upcoming danger, asking us to save the game and prepare adequately for the challenge."

"Beyond this point lies the linear path into the storyline, with no saving and no opportunity to turn back, right."

Shiayar smiled slightly.

In the next moment, his finger twitched.

The gun muzzle of Sea Blue Judgment spat out fire, the bullet spun out rapidly.

The physical quality of the Mercury Serpent is merely level five, meaning it doesn’t differ from an average Shiba Inu.

This bullet is enough to end its life.

However, just as the bullet was about to touch the Mercury Serpent’s body.

Suddenly, everything around, from the flickering candles to the flowing breeze, even the sound of heartbeat.

Even the Sea of Stars above, with its flickering and flashing, froze in an instant.

Then, all scenery, all images shattered simultaneously.

Countless fragments of light scattered, carrying Shiayar’s will... flowing down the river of time.

From the First Era, returning to the Fourth Epoch.
