In the next mont, a torrent of information abruptly flowed into their minds, making them pause slightly in surprise.
It was a brief account concerning the origin of the Source Stone, its nature, and the conversation Lin Guang had with that diamond-shaped phantom.
After a while, when they regained their composure, her voice continued to echo.
"Indeed, the information that can be carried within the Source Stone is imnse."
She looked at Lisa: "But... as for , I’m rely a silhouette that ca to this world along with her, like an undocunted stowaway, holding very insignificant authority."
"Eh? ?"
Lisa’s face showed surprise, her tail even stopped wagging: "But, big sister is Sakaz, isn’t she... she should have co with sister Vishdair..."
"..."
Vishdair blinked her eyes — she thought the sa.
Looking at the three young girls, she smiled gently: "It has no relation with the species on Terra Land."
"It’s related to ti, or one might say the world."
"In... Vishdair’s world, I have yet to secure a place within the Source Stone."
"However, in your world, on the tiline that belongs to you, my personality has already integrated into the Source Stone, and the very fragnted part of ’’ that belongs to that has co to this world, following the Source Stone inside you."
"Awakening bit by bit along with the evolution of the Heart of Terra."
"If the will that is currently opposing Lin Guang, wanting him to completely collapse, is the main personality of the Source Stone, I could only be considered a subsidiary personality with a slight influence."
"Before Lin Guang’s Heart of Terra evolved to this extent, I almost didn’t even have the ability to think, left only with instinct."
Her gaze was sowhat dim: "Actually, I have been trying to help Lin Guang, but the effect... has been very limited."
Vishdair locked eyes with her, her will burning fervently in her eyes: "If you can’t help him, we will! Where are they?"
The gentle woman with pink hair looked towards the nearby darkness.
"Their battleground is indeed right here."
"Only, it is buried far too deep."
She spoke softly: "The will within the Source Stone wants Lin Guang to remain by its side forever, without any interference from others, without ti, only each other."
"This darkness is the protection she has set up, wrapping around the central Singularity."
"However, Lin Guang’s counterattack has been so desperate that now inside the Singularity, there is utter chaos, I can barely sense any specific pieces of information, only fragnts surging like tides."
Vishdair frowns slightly: "What should we do then?"
"That’s why I need you."
The pink-haired Sakaz woman spoke softly: "I could weave a path towards it using the information I can mobilize while providing you all the assistance I can."
"The process of walking that path is very dangerous."
"In this Spiritual World, information and emotions have tangible weight."
She firmly stated: "The closer you get to the Singularity, the higher the density of information fragnts, and you are very likely to experience the impact of that information, getting lost within."
She wasn’t lying.
All three girls could clearly perceive this truth.
Or, in this spiritual world, deceiving without being noticed is already an impossible feat.
Vishdair looked at her, eagerly said:
"Just tell us what to do, don’t worry about anything else."
"At this point, how can there be any room for retreat?"
"..."
The Sakaz woman with pink hair gazed at the eagerly impatient silver-haired girl and couldn’t help but smile, seeming a bit nostalgic.
In the next mont, she extended her hand, and the Black Crown atop her head began to spin.
Shadows stretched out from beneath her feet, piercing the darkness and converging into a pure white, tower-like, yet also bridge-like path extending into unknown realms.
The pink-haired Sakaz spoke softly: "Use your mind to sense his direction, then use your will to break through all obstacles."
Vishdair lifted her leg, eager to step forward and explore.
At this mont, however, she suddenly seed to rember sothing she hadn’t asked, stopped her movent, turned her head, and asked the gentle pink-haired woman.
"So, who exactly are you?"
"Don’t say you’re so will of the Source Stone, you ntioned earlier that before rging with the Source Stone, you definitely were a person too."
"Are you Sakaz, what’s your na and what is that crown on your head that looks like Lin Guang’s?"
"..."
She was a bit surprised, seemingly not anticipating Vishdair would pose such questions at this mont.
But soon, a gentle, serene smile spread across her face.
"It’s the Civilization’s Continuation, a creation designed by a once-great civilization to extend civilization, to facilitate mutual understanding among everyone, to guide newborn civilizations."
"It’s also a part of the Heart of Terra."
"But to you, you might be more familiar with its other na."
She uttered a special Sakaz term: "Black Crown."
"...!!"
Hearing this na, Vishdair froze instantly.
The Black Crown.
That is...
The supre artifact passed down among the Demon Kings of Sakaz.
Even the youngest, the most ignorant Sakaz would have heard of the Demon King, and the Black Crown.
If among Sakaz — wherein nearly no sense of kinship exists, and cultural heritage has been almost completely obliterated — there is anything akin to a consensus, a traditional core belief...
Then there’s probably only one.
Anyone who possesses the Black Crown and is recognized by it, is the King of the Sakaz species.
Hence, the Sakaz woman before them is the Demon King of Sakaz!!
Also, doesn’t this imply, since Lin Guang bears the Black Crown, he is also—
Her Demon King?
In that instant, an indescribable feeling surged from the depths of Vishdair’s heart.
It was a sense as if destiny itself had been sealed.
Her true Demon King... she had already t him.
This Sakaz female Demon King smiled: "As for a na... I do have one, though you probably haven’t heard of it."
"You can just call Trissia."
Vishdair took a deep breath, returning to her senses: "Alright."
"Trissia, I rember it, my na is Vishdair."
"Thanks."
She no longer hesitated, turning, stepping onto the path that was more like a bridge, yet also like a horizontal tower.
Lily blinked her eyes, also courteously expressing thanks: "Thank you, sister Trissia."
Chelina nodded her head to her as well.
The three began advancing toward the ultimate battleground, leaving Trissia behind.
Her luminous body maintained the path’s continuity, watching as the three moved further along the way, a gentle smile graced her face.
——Vishdair.
——Truly... so things never change.
