Chapter 1477: The three sisters of Fate

“I’m not very well-informed about matters regarding the Age of Myriad Deities, can someone explain?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

—–before, he was still a bit concerned about the identity of ‘Rhode’, afraid that his companions might notice something if he wasn’t careful. But now that he knows this identity was created by [Existence], he felt nothing but assurance.

“Rhode, did you not listen to any of our history lessons?” Scarlet giggled.

“The Elders explained that the Age of Myriad Deities was part of the previous era. It was said that there were no living beings during that era, as it was too dangerous for any living beings to survive, only the Deities existed” Shroud explained.

Reneedol continued: “The Deities managed to triumph against a great evil and established the Pantheon, but all of them suddenly disappeared at a certain point in time, which became the end of that era”

Gu Qing Shan doubtfully asked: “Why did they disappear?”

“Don’t know—— no one does, it has always been a secret” Scarlet shrugged.

Shroud sighed emotionally: “There was a time when I was highly interested in the Age of Myriad Deities, but the Elders and pixies all said that the previous era was too dangerous, forbidding me from trying to research them”

He opened his palm and lightly tossed the mass of light in his hand in the air.

The warm light slowly flew up and hovered at the center of the tall dark tunnel.

The mass of light began glowing even brighter with gentle white light, fully illuminating this part of the tunnel.

All sides of the tunnel were open, various doors of varying sides dotted the walls on all sides, all of which led to unknown places.

Shroud was a bit excited and said: “We can’t just remain here without moving, how about we find a door that isn’t dangerous to check what’s inside?”

Reneedol nodded: “Indeed, since we can’t head to the Scavenger station or return, perhaps we might find a new path by heading deeper into the ruins”

Scarlet asked: “Then, should we just pick a random one?”

Shroud eagerly: “Great, then——”

Gu Qing Shan suddenly cut him off and said: “No, don’t be in such a hurry”

“What’s the matter?” Shroud was unsure.

“We know nothing about the Pantheon, is it really a good idea to just head inside?” Gu Qing Shan said.

The other three looked at him.

“But there are no other paths” Shroud said.

“We need to at least learn as much as we can about the Pantheon before we make a decision, I think that’s the safer choice” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“Learn as much as we can about the Pantheon?” Scarlet asked.

She walked up to Gu Qing Shan, stood on her tiptoes, then put her hand on his forehead.

“What?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

Scarlet pulled her hand back: “You don’t have a fever… Rhode, you do know that the Pantheon was an extremely secretive mystery of the previous era right? If we don’t go in, how are we supposed to learn anything about it?”

Gu Qing Shan pointed to the wall and said: “The murals”

The three followed where he pointed.

The wall does indeed have a lot of unseen murals, but the majority of them had been damaged, leaving very few places that could be discerned”

As they carefully examined the murals, they found that the relatively intact places of the murals all depicted the form of Deities.

Those Deities were all wielding their weapons or preparing to cast their spells, clearly trying to fight something.

But the murals had been damaged so much that they couldn’t tell who or what the enemy of the Deities might have been.

Everyone only examined them for a little bit before feeling dejected.

“They’re too damaged, we probably won’t be able to discern anything through this” Shroud told him.

But Gu Qing Shan continued to carefully observe the murals, blankly muttering to himself: “Actually, I’m trying to discern—— what exactly damaged these murals”

The other three froze.

“Rhode, what are you trying to say?” Reneedol asked.

Gu Qing Shan pointed to one of the murals and explained: “Many of these murals depicted the bravery and grandeur of the Deities, clearly marking out even the splendor of their spells and weapons. From that, we can understand that the Deities were exhibiting their victory”

Reneedol thought briefly before nodding: “That’s indeed true”

Gu Qing Shan continued: “But take a closer look, in all the murals on these walls, it’s always the enemy of the Deities that are missing as if this information had been purposely erased from them”

Shroud, Reneedol, and Scarlet were startled, then carefully examined each of the murals again.

“That truly is the case” Shroud muttered.

“But then, who would do something like that? And why would they erase the enemy of the Deities?” Scarlet couldn’t help but ask.

Reneedol calmly said: “Perhaps it’s only a coincidence. After all, we’ve only seen the murals on this part of the tunnel, while the entire tunnel itself is long, almost impossibly long. Maybe the murals of other places will show us who the enemy of the Deities were”

Gu Qing Shan resolutely said: “Then let us find a branch and continue going through it for a bit—- this will let us confirm our doubts”

Shroud took a deep breath and said: “Alright, let’s go, I also want to know what kind of entity the enemies of the Deities were”

“If we’re going to pick a random branch, let’s head this way”

Reneedol pointed at a fork in the tunnel ahead of them.

When examining it, they found that the branch had tracks laid on it that reached extremely far into the tunnel.

——-that is the track for the pixies’ Quipcraft train.

Since it was connected by train tracks, the pixies must have already explored this branch of the tunnel, which made this path the safest out of the numerous other unlit paths in this part of the tunnel they were standing in.

Gu Qing Shan rubbed his chin a bit and said: “Then let us head down this branch”

The four of them continued to follow the tunnel and entered the branch at the fork in the tracks.

The mass of light that Shroud had released continued to follow them, illuminating the murals as they walked.

“Look, this Deity wields fire, but their fire is pure crimson” Scarlet said.

“Perhaps it’s a Deity who wields the Law of Fire” Reneedol commented.

“Look at that—– that Deity who’s using a battle axe with numerous overlapping images on top of it, I really wonder what kind of Law they wielded” Shroud excitedly said.

Gu Qing Shan didn’t say anything, he simply observed each mural.

Each of them depicted a Deity who wielded a different unparalleled supernatural power against some sort of wicked evil.

But without fail, the opponent of the Deities would always be erased, ensuring that no one would know what their enemies were.

Reneedol muttered: “Strange… it truly is like Rhode had said, not a single mural retain the image of the Deities’ enemy”

The group exchanged glances, all of them feeling a clear sense of eeriness.

“Hurry, look!” Scarlet suddenly exclaimed.

She was pointing at a mural.

Gu Qing Shan immediately looked at where she was pointing.

—-it was a fully intact mural.

Among the numerous murals, this was the only undamaged one.

The Deities were all standing within a grand palace to celebrate their victory.

“This is the scene of a victory banquet—— the enemy of the Deities still can’t be seen” Shroud shook his head and sighed.

Gu Qing Shan looked at the mural, closely observing it.

“These Deities are quite interesting, even while celebrating victory, they retain a certain distance from one another, but why?” he muttered.

Hearing him say that, everyone looked carefully again. While the Deities each had a cheerful expression on their faces, they were indeed keeping an unnatural distance from one another.

Reneedol pondered: “They seemed to the wary of something”

“They were wary of one another” Shroud commented.

Gu Qing Shan was startled as he took notice of three figures.

At a corner of this mural, three feminine figures stood. The other Deities made sure to stay as far away from them as they could, clearly making distance. The only Deity who raised a cup to cheer towards them also stood a fair distance away.

From their expressions, the Deities were all a bit afraid of them.

“Who were they?” Gu Qing Shan whispered.

A human settlement.

A male and a female corpse laid on the ground.

They had managed to avoid all the disasters up to now, surviving up until two minute ago——-

When they met the three Deities.

“How tough, it’s so unbelievably hard to find a living person now” Poison Deity sighed.

Foresight Deity mused: “I remember that there should have been a lot of living beings—— but after this, the Law Behemoths had all gone extinct, the majority of living beings were dead, the ecosystem is also more or less broken, so this era is going to collapse sooner or later”

Shadow Deity also sighed: “That’s right. From this point on, it’ll only be harder to find a living person, perhaps a lot of Deities wouldn’t even have a body to return to the Realm of Life with”

Foresight Deity paused those thoughts and reached into the void of space to gather a large cluster of stars.

The starlight illuminated their surroundings.

There were about thirty-odd stars within this cluster, which was several times more than what Shroud and Rhode were able to control.

“Alright, now we can bring two more comrades into the Realm of Life. The male body will be left for Mystery Deity, since his ability to collect information is the strongest. As for the female body——-”

Foresight Deity paused, then looked towards Poison Deity and Shadow Deity.

The two of them seemed to have realized something and subconsciously took a step back, both turning their eyes away.

Foresight Deity sighed, but still asked: “Are we really going to let her out?”

Poison Deity mumbled; “They’ve already decided on her, so how can we not let her out?”

Foresight Deity abruptly raised his voice and said: “That’s because after letting her out, they won’t need to face her any longer!”

Shadow Deity remained silent.

Poison Deity then looked at Foresight Deity and asked him in return: “Then, do you have the courage to stop her from coming to the Realm of Life?”

Foresight Deity trembled and remained silent without saying a word.

Poison Deity concluded: “Alright, let’s just follow the majority vote and let her out. We can’t afford to offend her either way”

It was now that Shadow Deity spoke up: “After all, her older sister is dead, while her younger sister had already lost her memories, unable to even recognize us—– I suspect that she’s losing her mind from delight right now”

Poison Deity added: “And we also need to let her out before anyone else, otherwise we won’t be able to handle her tantrums”

Foresight Deity looked at the starlight in his hand and sighed.

He tossed the Star Force in his hand towards the female corpse.

Poison Deity and Shadow Deity both took a step back as they saw it.

Foresight Deity spoke with a hoarse voice: “The most insane among the three sisters of Fate——- I couldn’t even imagine that there would be a day when I’m forced to cooperate with her”
