"What's the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?"

“Who do you feel most sorry for?”

Let the Bull of the Skycar step back 47 steps. In the time continent, the Sword Lady and the Witch in the sports car were interested in questioning the secrets of the viewers, but the latter kept their mouths shut and said nothing.

At this time, Jian Ji suddenly had an idea and asked some small questions:

"What's your favorite dish?"

“Charcoal grilled Lala fat.”

"Which is your favorite magic spirit?"

"substitute."

“What’s your favorite time of day? Why?”

"After midnight, because that's my private time."

"What don't you like doing?"

"Work."

"Where do you like to date?"

The viewer had to think about this question that he had never thought about before, and suddenly realized: "How could these questions be secrets that I need to protect? Why are you asking these questions?"

Sword Princess continued, "Then let me ask you something serious - if the witch and I fell into the Golden River, who would you save first?"

The viewer looked at her suspiciously, but saw Jian Ji gave him a look, and after a moment of deliberation, he said, "Witch."

Witch: "Hey?"

"Now that we are all proficient in the time faction, if we obtain the Time Orb, who will you give it to first?"

"Witch."

"If we meet the Queen Commander again, and only one person can escape this time, who will you let escape first?"

"Witch."

Sword Lady asked several questions that could increase the witch's favorability, and the viewer answered "witch" to all of them. Just when he thought Sword Lady was taking this opportunity to play a trick on the witch, he suddenly heard Sword Lady ask: "Who is your favorite person?"

"Demon... No, it's——"

The viewer realized something was wrong when he was halfway through, but realized something was wrong again when he finished speaking. He looked up and saw Sword Princess's shining eyes, and he stopped talking immediately. Sword Princess snorted, her lips curled up, but she didn't continue to ask: "Try to say it out. If you can't say it out, it means that this is the secret sealed by the power of the Secret Keeper."

"In fact, the secret itself is not the point." The viewer changed the subject: "The most important thing about the power of keeping secrets is the desire to tell the secrets."

"If you want to talk, why keep it secret?" The witch felt very strange: "Isn't this contradictory?"

"No contradiction." Sword Lady stretched out her hand and pressed down the witch's ahoge. "There are always things you want to say, but you have to hide them in your heart, just like planting a flower. If you are unlucky and there is no spring willing to let it sprout, then even the most fertile land is just the depths of darkness for it."

Witch: "What if we are lucky?"

"Then even if it is on the glacier, a hundred thousand roses will bloom." Sword Princess said, "It will bring you a new spring."

…

…

"Secret-Keeping Power: You keep your lips tightly shut, so no one can know the deepest secrets in your heart, but the secrets are also protecting your soul. You cannot tell the secrets that you value most, and the more you want to tell, the stronger the secret-keeping effect will be."

"Secret Keeping (Confidence 100%): Your mental resistance increases by 100%, and your soul's adaptability to gods of similar factions increases by 100%."

The power to keep secrets!

Secret incarnation!

The necromancy is magical!

He is Ash, and also the viewer!

Diya looked at Ash who was half-kneeling in front of her, and her heart was completely confused.

Didn't the viewer meet her at the beginning? Didn't he see her jump from the tower with his own eyes? Why did Ash seem to not recognize her?

First of all, Ash couldn't be pretending, he really met her for the first time in the underground hall of the Four Pillars. At this time, Diya couldn't help but think of a possibility based on her own experience - could it be that Ash also has a personality?

But soon, she thought of another possibility that was more in line with Ash's situation, and it had already happened to Ash once: there was a god playing him!

When Gospel plays Ash and commits assassinations, she appears and disappears mysteriously and no one knows where she is; when the audience meets her in the tower, it also seems real and illusory, neither empty nor real, the two are almost exactly the same!

After all, the viewer is just a two-wing magician, but he can "force" her and Sword Princess to gather from different countries to explore the virtual world. This ability is far beyond the limit of the magician!

The Sanctuary Magician can't do it, and the Legendary Magician can't do it either!

Not to mention that there is a sports car to take them to and from get off work every time. According to Jian Ji, they also have a boat in the Sea of ​​Knowledge.

Although it was not specifically discussed, she and Fiora both assumed that the viewer had mastered the gods, and a particularly diverse group of gods, who could both create things and form teams. They would not be surprised when the viewer could create Lala Fei in the virtual world.

In the past, Diya believed that the viewer could completely control the spirits, but now that it was her turn to control the spirits herself, she discovered that this was simply impossible - she herself did not have the energy to drive the spirits!

The reason why the gospel spirit can function is because of the joint support of the legendary magicians, and the gospel system has nothing to do with the first gospel of all generations. It is purely its own spontaneous expansion after it is full and satisfied, just like breathing, eating and shitting.

In the kingdom of the gospel, the gospel is almost equivalent to natural phenomena such as the sun, wind, rain, and the earth. The gospel books, gospel databases, and gospel intelligent systems created by magicians are the cornerstones of civilization, just like farmers using manure to irrigate farmland to obtain food or miners digging out ore and smelting it, except that magicians are more advanced.

Although the First Gospel is the host of the gods, it can only get involved in some of the powers of the gods and cannot drive the gods to serve itself. Using the sun as an analogy, ordinary people can only silently bear the sunlight; while the First Gospel is closer to the sun, it can use more solar energy and even affect the distribution of sunlight for all living beings; but only the angel god can control the explosion, extinction, and collapse of the sun.

The relationship between magicians and gods has never been one of domination, but symbiosis. Magicians can only take advantage of gods a little bit at most. And even if they do take advantage, it is based on the premise that the gospel gods are well fed (the legendary chefs feed them all day long) and that they expand spontaneously.

However, Diya had been with Ash for so long, there was no reason why she could not find out if he had brought a large group of legendary magicians to charge the battery. Since he didn't, it meant that Ash didn't have any energy to drive the gods, and even if he did, it was just a drop in the bucket.

However, the gods still provide him with exclusive customized services, helping him to form a team, park the sports car, and prepare maps every night, just like his biological parents. This can only mean one thing: the gods serve him wholeheartedly, and even try to absorb energy to support him.

At this time, Diya recalled that the "Watcher Spirit" had almost the same appearance as Ash, and that Sword Princess mentioned that the Watcher might be a powerful man who had lost his memory and was reincarnated. A new guess came to her mind: Ash's spirit might have been summoned by him personally in the past.

Even the spirits summoned by the master have many of the same characteristics as the master, not to mention the gods, it is not surprising that they look exactly the same. Only this kind of bond can explain why the gods protect Ash so much.

But that god also hid a lot from Ash, such as my true identity!

"Liz?"

Ash gently placed the back of his hand against her face, feeling her body temperature: "Are you really back?"

Not only is Liz back, I'm back too.

Diya's lips moved slightly. She had a lot of things she wanted to tell Ash, to tell him that she was a witch, to tell him that Liz was actually my sister, to tell him that I was not actually a little girl...but she couldn't say anything.

——The power to keep secrets.

The incarnation of the concept not only separated her from the gods, but also stood between her and Ash. The more she wanted to tell the secret, the stronger the shackles became, and the stronger the power to keep the secret became.

There is such a thing, the person she likes is right next to her, but her heart cannot get any closer. Just like the mermaid whose voice was taken away in the fairy tale, no one can hear her feelings.

Facing Ash's expectant eyes, Diya bit her lower lip, her eyes were red, she took a deep breath but still burst into tears, she stood up from the throne, hugged his neck, and sobbed, "I'm back."

At this moment, Diya couldn't hold back any more, she buried herself in his arms and sobbed softly, crying heartbreakingly and helplessly. She thought she could fool fate by escaping from the tower, but in the end she found that she was still in the tower, she could never get rid of fate, and she would never get what she wanted.

The foreshadowing of tragedy had been laid when she used the identity of 'Liz' to deceive Ash. The night she begged Ash to save sister Nina was her last chance to confess, but she still gave up.

Because she didn't want to be just Ash's Liz, because she hoped to recognize Ash again after she recovered from her original state, and because she felt it was troublesome to explain... but in the final analysis, she was actually afraid.

She was afraid that Ash would hate her for her deception, so she kept avoiding him. In this regard, she was just like Liz, a child who needed to wait for someone to pick her up, passively waiting for Ash to find out, and then self-righteously thinking that she would be forgiven.

So when Lisdiya said goodbye to Ash on their behalf, she did not tell the truth about Lisdiya and others, making Ash believe that there were only 'Lis' and 'Lisdiya' from beginning to end.

There was no doubt that Lisdiya had good intentions - first of all, Ash had no idea of ​​Diya's existence, and because of the 'Anti-Sun' spirit, their bodies were still 'little girl Lis' instead of 'young girl Lisdiya'. To rashly tell him that "there are several girls who like you in your daughter's soul" would only make his mind more confused and meaningless; secondly, Diya and the others had already decided to sacrifice for Ash at that time. With the blessing of such a lofty ideal, they felt that their feelings were not conveyed, and that their unknown efforts would appear more romantic and touching.

Just like an angel in a fairy tale, spreading its wings and silently protecting you.

It is precisely because of these cowardice, hesitation, deception, sacrifice and romance that Diya's heart gave birth to this secret that she wanted to tell but was buried in the glacier. It was not until the arrival of the secret incarnation that it bloomed into 100,000 roses and imprisoned the gospel spirit inside.

This is the real reason why Diya cried.

It was not because she had not said it before, nor because the conceptual incarnation stopped her from saying it, but because she had to keep this secret in the future.

Once the secret is revealed, her power to keep secrets will be invalidated, and the awakened gods will drown her soul until she becomes a vessel named Flute, unable to meet Ash or the viewer again.

Therefore, she not only had to conceal it, but also could not let Ash discover any clues, otherwise the effect of the secret-keeping power would be reduced. She had to weave a huge net to cover Ash and the viewer.

She had to maintain her little girl form.

She must conceal the changes in the magic spirit.

She couldn't let Ash know that she was a witch.

She couldn't let Ash know that Liz had sisters.

She couldn't let Ash know that there was someone he didn't know, didn't know, and had never even seen, who had been saved by him many times.

How ridiculous, if Diya didn't hide it, she would no longer exist; if Diya continued to hide it, he would still not know her existence.

If fate had pushed her forward a step, she would have confessed everything to Ash and left freely; if fate had pulled her back a step, she would have taken the secret into the virtual world and disappeared quietly; however, fate made her stay here, unable to step forward into the abyss, nor backward into hell. She could only muster up the courage to carry the secret and try to find a future that no one had ever set foot in before.

Yes, the future.

Maybe, in the future, Ash will find a way to allow her to contain the gods even without the power to keep secrets; maybe, she will become a legendary magician and find another way to control the gods; maybe, she will become an angel...

When Diya thought about how they were still young, had a future, and many opportunities, she barely stopped crying. She couldn't help but burp twice, with bubbles of snot coming out of her nose.

She looked down and found that her tears and snot were all over Ash's clothes. As if she heard Ash's laughter, Diya was too embarrassed to look up, and suddenly she felt relieved in her heart - fortunately he thought I was just Liz...

She suddenly recalled Beldette's famous saying: Increase what he wants and give what he needs.

From the moment she escaped from the tower, she was destined to return to the tower, everything seemed to have been planned in advance.

Did you plan it all, Gospel?

Diya couldn't help but look at the gospel spirit in her soul. It was wearing an eye mask and looked like a quiet girl in a purple dress, quietly holding the spirit of the spiritualist. As if noticing Diya's gaze, it suddenly grabbed the eye mask with its hands and slowly lifted it up.

However, underneath the eye patch, there is not a pair of eyes, but...

...a door?

In an instant, a door appeared from Diya's body and sucked them both in.

By the time Ash and Diya reacted, they had arrived at a wonderful place: they were sitting on a spider web, and they could not see the end up, down, front, back, left, and right. Their vision was filled with spider webs of various colors, shapes, and sizes. Each spider web was so huge that it could only be described as magnificent, just like the sky and the earth.

They seemed to be woven in space, one layer upon another, one wrapped within another, boundless and endless. The light came from nowhere, but it was neither dim nor dazzling.

Compared to these spider webs, Ash and Diya were as small as insects, as if any creature that appeared here was a terrifying existence that could easily prey on them -

“This is the first time I’ve seen two First Gospels.”

Ash and Diya turned around suddenly and saw a beautiful lady hanging upside down on the spider web above.

Although she was hanging upside down, her long hair did not hang down and her skirt did not lift up. If she did not control it deliberately, it can only mean that the 'up and down position' here is closely related to which spider web you stand on.

She had a cold expression, wore glasses, and had a pair of amber eyes, but the most striking feature of her was that she wore a pair of luxurious headphones that seemed to be made of obsidian, with a bell hanging on each end of the headphones. This kind of decoration, which could be considered avant-garde and fashionable in the Gospel Kingdom, made her look more intimate.

But as soon as she opened her mouth, the intimacy between Yaxiu and Diya dissipated on the spot.

"Welcome to the omniscient heaven." She said, "I am the bell-listening angel under the seat of the Lord of Weaving. You can call me Ling."
