Chapter Four: Projections of the Past



Wu Yu tried to touch the thing in front of him, but he passed right through it.

I don't think I've traveled to the past; what I'm seeing now is just a projection left behind by someone else.

Soon, the two people in front of them began to move.

The little girl with rosy lips and white teeth had a maturity in her eyes that shouldn't be there for her age, like an old monk in deep meditation, unmoved by anything.

She waited patiently for the old man to speak.

"Number 0, do you remember everything?" The old man seemed extremely excited, his aged face contorted in a grimace, looking quite frightening.

"Hmm." Number 0 nodded slightly, confirming his current state.

"Then let's begin. The Spirit Fusion Array is complete. Let us enter your body. In this life, we will surely enable the Mother Goddess to break the seal," the old man said confidently.

"Yes, ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's time for all of this to end." There was an indescribable sense of vicissitude in Number 0's childish voice.

“Number 0, you are the strongest and wisest among us. You are the most perfect masterpiece of the Mother Goddess. This time, you will take the lead, and we will also offer advice and strategies behind the scenes,” the old man said with heartfelt admiration.

"No need, your mission is over," Number 0 said calmly.

"Number 0, what do you mean by this? Do you think that the sum of all ninety-nine of us is not as good as yours alone?" the old man said, slightly angry.

“No, I don’t mean to look down on you, but I need to execute the real plan now, a plan you don’t know about,” Number 0 said coldly.

"Is this the Mother Goddess's will?" the old man questioned.

“No, this is my personal choice,” Number 0 said, shaking his head.

"You have betrayed God!" the old man roared, and several phantom figures appeared behind him, their attacks all targeting Number 0.

"It's no use. When I persuaded you ten thousand years ago, you lost the ability to resist me." Number 0 fearlessly faced the ferocious attacks with her frail and petite body.

As No. 0 said, the old man ultimately did not make a move.

"After you are reincarnated, you will inherit your power and soul into the next reincarnated person. This will certainly make you incredibly powerful, but the price is that your weak bodies will find it increasingly difficult to support the large number of souls. My dear brothers and sisters, tomorrow should be your time to die, right?" Number 0 finally revealed a confident smile.

"Number 0, hand over your body now." The old man's body began to fester. After he stopped deliberately enduring it, his body began to deform continuously. Many hands and feet began to emerge from the cracks in his body. Eyes grew from his hands, and hands grew from his eyes. He was simply a stitched-together monster.

"There's no need for any more futile resistance. The mark God left on your souls is an order you absolutely cannot disobey. You must always prioritize the release of the Mother Goddess. And now, I am the last reincarnated puppet created by God. You have no chance to back out, so just obediently obey my orders." Number 0 saw the old man's painful struggle and quickly spoke up to comfort him.

"How could I possibly continue to obey you, you traitor?" The ninety-nine mouths that grew from the old man spoke in different voices at the same time, like a soul-summoning demonic voice. Even though they were separated by a time and space, Wu Yu felt his soul tremble.

"Traitor? How could that be? You all know that I can't defy God's will either. Everything I'm doing now is to break the seal for Him. I just want to save the world on the side." Number 0 shook his head and slowly walked towards the center of the array.

It's unclear where the little guy pulled out a black dagger from, but he decisively held it to his own neck, chuckling as he spoke.

"My brothers and sisters, the Spirit Fusion Array I designed has been very convenient to use for the past ten thousand years, hasn't it? Let me tell you a little secret: if this array is reversed, it will become the Spirit Devouring Array. It can help me devour everything of you, including your memories and power. And because we are of the same origin, there will be no side effects."

"Now, suppress the instinctive resistance of your soul and body, or I will commit suicide immediately."

Number 0's words were like an ironclad rule, instantly calming the old man's raging body.

A scarlet magic circle appeared beneath the old man's feet, and his body exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist. The blood mist then drifted toward Number 0, continuously pouring into her through the pores of her body.

Above the exploding physical body, a jumbled mass of deformed souls also transformed into specks of light, gradually merging into Number 0's body.

"Number 0!"

Wu Yu heard a roar that seemed to come from hell.

"Number 0? I don't like that name that sounds like a tool number. My father named me Violet. Oh, I almost forgot, you can no longer hear me, but don't worry, Mother Goddess is also within my reach to save you. So go in peace." Violet gave the departing spirits her final words of comfort.

Violet's body was undergoing an astonishing transformation. She was developing at an incredible speed, and in less than a minute, she had grown from a toddler into a graceful and beautiful woman.

And her appearance was exactly the same as Violet, whom Wu Yu knew.

At the same time, the heavens and earth moved strangely, and endless energy surged in. The Three Thousand Laws appeared behind her, and she could ascend to the pinnacle of the mortal world at any time if she wished.

But she seemed to have given up on this promotion. Suddenly, all the strange phenomena disappeared, the array beneath her feet vanished, and Violet herself was rejuvenating. Soon, she regressed back to that young girl.
