After preparing for transmigration, Xia Yuan, a top player of storyline mages in his previous life, transmigrated into an NPC, and was even the fourth son of the newly born Duke of the Empire!
<...Chapter 864: Choice
"..."
Looking at the girl with sincere eyes in the moonlight, Avis sighed softly.
He rose slowly, and walked to Claire's side, looking out at the vast expanse of land shrouded in the darkness of night below the towering terrace of the Silver Palace.
"So, what about my family? What about my friends? What about the people I hold dear?"
“…I will die.”
The girl's voice was still ethereal, but its meaning was particularly cold and ruthless.
"Not just them, but all people and the entire human civilization will perish in darkness and despair."
"Perhaps you want to take one or more beings you value with you to the future, but the power contained in the time ball is limited. The more beings you carry, the stronger the power, and the shorter the time you can travel through.
Take your sister as an example. If you only take her with you to the future, the furthest time you can travel will be reduced by at least 40%. If that happens, I cannot be sure that you will be able to reach the end of the Dark Ages.
By the way, don’t worry about me. My form of existence is quite special and I have my own way to go to the future.”
“…”
Listening to Claire's words, Avis fell silent again.
Then, facing the endless darkness ahead, the black-haired and black-eyed boy suddenly smiled.
In fact, he had no choice from beginning to end.
It is nothing more than observing and recording the ways in which people in this world struggle and resist when facing the dark doomsday, and then summarizing the experience, returning to the original timeline, and making more thorough and complete preparations for the struggle and resistance.
Claire's suggestion was just an extra insurance for him in case of complete failure.
"It seems that I have no choice..."
The boy's voice was very soft, floating in the night wind, as if he was mumbling to himself.
"Yes, you have no choice."
Not knowing what Avis had decided, Claire nodded, then she looked at the purple moon in the night sky and spoke casually.
"You know, millions of years ago, the Purple Moon Amis in the era of the High Elves was not like this. The butterfly-shaped purple moon sea was not originally on that side."
"Yes, of course I do."
Looking up at the high night sky, Avis smiled.
"Do you remember the little adventure we took in our first class at the Pamir Academy of Mysteries and Relics? In the historical fragment scene we participated in, I also saw the purple moon from the era of the high elves.
Millions of years have passed, and even Amis, hanging in the sky, is no longer what it once was. The beings living on this land have also changed from the ancient high elves to the humans of today. "
As he spoke, Avis seemed to suddenly remember something and changed the subject.
“You know, besides me, other ninth-level people in this world are also planning to break through to the legendary level.
For example, the marquises of the empire, they had long ago used war and unrest as a cover and ritual condition to secretly carry out a large-scale plan, and there were even traces of intervention by the ninth-level beings of the Federation behind this.
Do you think they will be successful?"
"You should know that this is a meaningless move."
Claire shook her head.
“With incomplete rules, there is no way to break through the legend in this world unless they can restore the rules to their original integrity. But even if they do, you know what that will mean.”
"So, is there another possibility?"
Gazing at the distant sky, from Avis's perspective of fate, the originally calm web of fate of the continent suddenly began to surge violently, and the fate of countless people was simultaneously drawn into the vortex of fate.
"What if they took refuge with a dark being?"
As Avis finished his words, as if to prove something, the originally dark sky in the distance suddenly lit up with multiple huge magical lights that shot straight into the sky.
However, the color of this magical glow was an extremely ominous blood-red! "Submission?"
The side of her face was illuminated by the dark red glow of the distant sky. The half-elf girl was stunned for a rare moment. Her ice-blue eyes blinked, and there was a hint of doubt in her expression.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"After you get up, and your breakfast comes to you, what will you do?"
"Breakfast..."
Avis looked at the scene without comment.
There is no fool who can break through to the ninth level, and the marquises will never do something that is doomed to death.
As for being deceived...it is indeed possible, but to say that the ninth-order beings know nothing would be an underestimation of the people of the world.
Even if they don't know the truth of the ancient secrets, they will definitely find some clues in the process of exploration. For such a major event involving one's own future and life, no matter how cautious one is, it is not excessive. … .….At this moment, unlike the calmness of the two people on the top floor of the Silver Palace, this shocking incident has already touched everyone's nerves.
Ross Territory, Cedar Bastion, Triumph City... Tonight, these areas were all lit up with huge magic arrays whose diameter covered the entire surface of the earth. Bright red and ominous mana lights flowed chaotically from them.
In many prosperous main cities and villages, countless indigenous people and players were alarmed by this huge change. They stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky in a daze.
If a spellcaster looked down at the entire territory of the empire from a very high position, he would find that there seemed to be some special and mysterious connection between the locations of these giant magic arrays distributed throughout the empire.
All the locations where the magic array was set up had one characteristic: they had been battlefields that had experienced bloody battles, or cities that had been massacred in wars! As the magic array operated, blood and unconscious soul fragments suddenly emerged, and were then swept into the space by the power of the magic array.
At the same time, under the influence of the power of the magic circle, the space in the surrounding area suddenly twisted like ripples. The strange area began to expand rapidly around the magic circle. In these areas, the dream world and the material plane showed a special overlapping state, and even strange beings in the dream appeared and wandered in these areas.
If Avis were here, he would be surprised to find that the area expanded by these magic arrays was the [overlapping area] that spread in the Yar continent in the previous life! Some professionals who were alarmed by this incident tried to destroy the magic array, but were immediately killed by the blood armor guardian who came from nowhere. Their blood and souls also merged into the magic array, shocking others not to move rashly.
At this time, in the territory of Elfennia, which is close to the capital of the empire, in an ancient underground cave that seems to have been formed naturally, the incarnations of a group of imperial marquises have gathered here.
In front of them, an enormous dark pyramid stood in the center of the cave. At this moment, a dark red chaotic light was emitting from the surface of the pyramid, flickering rhythmically like a heart.
