First, His goal is the Stone of Qina, which is very crucial, and it’s best not to have anyone disturbing what He is about to do next.
Secondly, from His perspective, Sela is very suspicious.
If you’re truly devout, then why are you here?
So, it’s quite normal for Tooth Spirit to kill Sela at this mont.
After all, He’s not exactly a totem of high morals, as seen in His previous dialogue with Qina.
These believers and such are rely tools to Him, kill them if you must.
"Then this line should be explored thoroughly enough."
Rogel pondered while pinching his chin.
Without entering the tunnel and squeezing through the crack, these might be the only turning points.
"Let’s try the follow-up of entering the tunnel first."
Rogel, eager and excited, began another round of attempts.
...
[Under the Bishop’s persuasion, you participated in the secret ritual. Although unaware of its purpose, you agreed without hesitation.]
[At the secret ritual, you were shocked to see all the Qina people, but before you could speak, a knife ended your life from behind.]
[You gradually lost life, falling before the Qina people.]
[Before dying, you heard the Bishop’s mocking voice.]
["Sela, you’re not devout..."]
[You died.]
[Ended with: The Humble Believer.]
"Hmm..."
This ti, Rogel chose to drill into the tunnel.
After reuniting with the wheat and rice.
The two began waiting for Tooth Spirit’s victory.
The final result was as expected, Tooth Spirit’s forces occupied Qina Island and imprisoned all Qina people.
Initially, Rogel thought that Sela would gain Tooth Spirit’s trust in this line.
But he was wrong.
Previously ntioned in the conversation between Qina and Tooth Spirit, Tooth Spirit had a habit of devouring corpses of the living.
And Sela, along with these Qina people, beca the feast after being imprisoned.
And Sela also beca one of them.
This line, too, had the least exploration value, nearly useless.
"Well, it seems I must just keep going down this path."
Rogel shrugged.
Then, he saved a checkpoint, touched the Lamp of the Dying, and began a new round of exploration.
This exploration was the second attempt succeeding the previous ending "Isle of Filth".
But since all other routes have been explored by Rogel, there was only one choice to reach a new ending.
Sit in the dark room at the start.
[Walk out of the crack/Stay in place]
[After glancing at the crack, you averting your gaze, your heart is at Peace.]
[You are a devout believer of Tooth Spirit and will not give up midway due to so danger.]
[You resolve to continue sitting here to prove your conviction and affirm your choice is correct.]
[Whether this Detention Room breaks or not, you will continue to sit, unless it is truly smashed, which symbolizes the Qina people’s prejudice.]
[As ti passes.]
[The roars and cries of battle gradually fade away, and the war cos to an end.]
[Tooth Spirit Church, while cleaning the battlefield, is surprised to find you peacefully sitting still in the broken Detention Room.]
[They all know about you.]
[At this mont, many believers of Tooth Spirit are moved by your devotion and wholeheartedly accept you.]
[You truly beco an indispensable part of Tooth Spirit Church at this mont.]
"At this ti, should Tooth Spirit have obtained the Stone of Qina?"
"What direction will it head next?"
Rogel pondered thoughtfully.
[Tooth Spirit Church took over the entire Qina Island, imprisoning all the Qina people.]
[The Bishop invited you to preach the doctrine to the Qina people, which you wanted, firmly believing Tooth Spirit’s teachings would touch them.]
[But you were wrong.]
[The Qina people mostly held a mocking attitude towards you, hating you deeply.]
["Traitor! You don’t deserve to call yourself a Qina person!" "Damn Tooth Spirit, just a wolf in sheep’s clothing!"]
[You feel a trace of confusion and anger.]
[You loudly question them, is human sacrifice really right? Such cruel rituals are clearly leading the Qina people towards the abyss!]
[So tribesn are left speechless.]
[But a familiar face, Xiang, steps out from the crowd.]
["Sena, you are wrong, everything we do is for the continuation of the Qina race..."]
[His expression is weary, but his eyes carry sincerity and sorrow.]
[Before you can question further, the Bishop takes you away from there.]
[Xiang’s words leave questions in your heart.]
[You request from the Bishop, hoping to see the forr Stone of Qina with your own eyes, to find the truth of the sacrifices, but the Bishop tells you that the evil Stone of Qina is being purified by the Tooth Spirit.]
[Several days pass.]
[You hear no news of your fellow tribesn, Dao Mai tells you they were taken by the Tooth Spirit Knights to an unknown place for reformation.]
[You feel a deep confusion in your heart.]
[After waiting for several days, you look for Dao Mai again, only to find she’s no longer there. After asking around, you learn she seems to have already left.]
[Though puzzled by her abrupt departure, it is understandable, as Dao Mai was an outsider Believer and might have returned ho.]
[However, without soone to confide in, your doubts and confusion grow even more...]
[This day, the Bishop finds you again, and takes you to his dwelling.]
[He tells you sothing important.]
["Sela, you are a brave and devoted Believer, now the great Tooth Spirit needs you."]
[He tells you that you need to go to a secret altar alone and hands you a set of keys.]
[Though still doubtful, as a devoted Tooth Spirit Believer, you head to the secret altar alone.]
[You use the keys to open the gate leading to the secret altar.]
[But just as you’re about to step inside, you discover a hidden path, seemingly leading to a separate room.]
[Ignore it/Enter the path]
"The critical turning point has arrived."
Rogel naturally realizes this and quickly saves the progress.
Then he chooses to enter the room.
[You walk along the path and reach the end, where there’s a secret room, and the door is locked tight.]
[After using the Bishop’s keys, you’re surprised to find the door can actually be opened.]
[You easily enter the room.]
[Inside the room are several books in the Qina style, and a manuscript on the table, seemingly left by the Bishop.]
[Curious and puzzled, you read the books.]
[Then, you uncover an incredibly shocking truth...]
Without a doubt, these books ca from the room where the Stone of Qina was in the fortress.
Upon browsing them, Sela naturally also learns the truth.
[After learning the truth, you feel a wave of dizziness, almost collapsing to the ground, eyes staring blankly.]
[You clutch your head in agony, sobbing quietly.]
[Only now do you understand the aning behind Xiang’s past words.]
[The entire room is shrouded in sorrow.]
[After a long while, you regain so strength from the pain.]
[You gather your spirit and browse through the Bishop’s manuscript, but the information within strikes you like thunder, leaving you frozen in place.]
[The Qina people were not taken for reformation, and Dao Mai didn’t leave without a word.]
[The truth is, they all perished in a secret ritual, becoming nourishnt for the Tooth Spirit!]
[The Tooth Spirit is not as great and selfless as you imagined, but a base entity that stops at nothing!]
[Knowing this makes everything feel so ironic.]
[Your past devotion now seems like a joke—like a fool easily manipulated and deceived.]
[Then follows the furious fla burning in your heart.]
[The Bishop’s manuscript contains another crucial piece of information.]
[The Tooth Spirit is at a critical stage of rging with the Stone of Qina.]
[Though the Qina consciousness within the totem of the Stone of Qina has long been erased by it, the Stone itself refuses to acknowledge the Tooth Spirit, resisting its rge.]
[In this crucial phase, if soone spiritually aligned with the Qina totem and recognized by it intervenes, the Tooth Spirit’s devouring will be interrupted!]
[And the perpetual spirit of the Qina totem is fearless!]
[In other words, whether you have the courage to be recognized by Qina will be the key to stopping the Tooth Spirit!]
[But if unrecognized, it’s likely a death sentence.]
[You grasp the manuscript tightly in your hand...]
[Head to the altar/Return along the original path]
