Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 285 The long river of destiny
The fruits of labor? Strength?
Lewis smiled. It seemed that this venomous snake's brain was not working very well. It suddenly blurted out everything.

He pointed to the apple tree above his head and said:
"But it seems that you are not reaping the fruits of your labor. You see, when you hang up a brand new apple, another one completely rots and falls into the dirt."

"Shut up, that great being won't deceive me!"

The venomous snake swallowed its tongue and its body began to split, one into two, two into four...

In just a few breaths, the surrounding green grass was filled with poisonous snakes.

Lewis saw again that the complete thread of fate was divided into countless parts. Each venomous snake was a physical entity, but it represented a different fate and a different time.

"This really opens my eyes." Lewis initially guessed that this was an ability of the "Destiny" pathway, and an extremely novel way of using it.

Cut one's own destiny into circular spaces, thus creating real avatars.

In other words, each clone is a real entity. If you want to kill the snake, you can only kill all the clones in an instant.

Poisonous snakes surrounded him from all directions, one after another, pouncing on Lewis.

The individual abilities of these venomous snakes are not strong, and it is even difficult for them to cause trouble to Lewis. Even if they bite with their fangs, it is difficult to break Lewis's strengthened spirit body.

But such a dense number of them was really overwhelming, not to mention that the venom was not useless to Lewis. It had the effect of corroding the spiritual body.

The “Sun Finger Bone” burst out with a burning sensation, and where Lewis’s sight was focused, the golden flames connected into one piece and burned the poisonous snakes around him into ashes.

Lewis was not in a hurry. He only needed to end the summoning to return to the gray fog, but before ending the summoning, he still had a few attempts to make.

He stood in the center of the vortex of flames and guessed:

“If I’m not mistaken, the great being told you that this tree should be full of golden apples, but it’s obvious that this apple tree can never be full of golden apples.

The birth of a golden apple means the complete death of another golden apple. From the very beginning, that existence was just playing a bad joke on you.

Maybe you took it seriously and put it into practice for countless years, or maybe you collected countless golden apples but still couldn't achieve your wish. "

"Shut up!" The thoughts of the venomous snakes entered Lewis' mind almost at the same time.

The snakes were enraged and rushed towards Lewis, even completely ignoring the golden flames around Lewis' spirit.

The poisonous snakes either tore or tried to bite off the flesh and blood of Lewis' spirit, allowing themselves to be burned.

Lewis felt that his guess was correct. He released his own bad luck to all the poisonous snakes so that only good luck would be left for himself.

A venomous snake had just rushed through the flames, and before it could bite Lewis, it found its tail bitten by another venomous snake.

In an instant, its body disintegrated and turned into a pool of dark liquid.

Similar blunders continued to occur among the snakes. Lewis stepped on the golden flames and came to the golden apple tree, whispering softly:
"Destiny is like this, it is in a cycle all the time. The passing of one thing will be the beginning of another.

Just like the golden apples on this tree, they can never stay at their most perfect moment.

If my guess is correct, the gift of fate is here…” The next moment, silver-white scales grew on the surface of Lewis’s spirit body, and those scales were connected end to end, as if forming closed circles.

His hands and feet retracted into his body, but his body expanded at an extremely fast speed, gradually turning into a giant silver-white python.

The python was more than ten meters long. It coiled itself around the apple tree and whispered "destiny". It then used the power of the "Key of Light" to restart the apple tree.

The remaining golden apples on the apple tree quickly rotted and fell to the ground.

The branches and leaves of the apple tree began to fall, and the whole tree seemed to be dying. The trunk became shriveled and the bark cracked.

This range of decay continued until a certain point, when suddenly, the entire tree collapsed and turned into points of light that splashed all around.

The river water, like mercury, gushed out from beneath the surface, splashing over Lewis and also watering the unfortunate venomous snake.

This is what the apple tree originally looked like, and it is also part of the long river of fate...

At this moment, countless poisonous snakes looked towards the apple tree, and they all raised their heads to look at the water gushing out of the ground.

As Lewis bathed in the river, the silver scales on his body began to fade, the snake's body gradually shrank, and finally returned to its original appearance.

The spirit is trembling, and every drop of river water carries the fate of a living being. These destinies are intertwined and converge to form a long river of destiny.

"This is how the River of Destiny manifests itself in this world. The Source Light Key should be sleeping somewhere in the River of Destiny. The Light Key in the body of the Star Spirit is trembling, trying to get it." Lewis turned and left.

He will come back to look for the source material, but the top priority now is to get his body back.

Suddenly, he felt something pulling at the corner of his clothes.

Lewis looked back in confusion, only to see a poisonous snake following him.

"Sir, thank you for helping me solve the mystery that has troubled me all my life. Now, I have finally broken the curse and can leave this place forever." The venomous snake's thoughts came into Lewis' mind.

Lewis stopped, squatted down, and asked the venomous snake: "Can you tell me now? Who is the great being who asked you to collect the golden apples here?"

"He is the ruler of the spirit world, the great king of time and space, and the beacon of destiny. Long ago, I questioned His power, so He punished me by asking me to complete the puzzle of the golden apple. Of course, after completing the puzzle, I can not only regain my freedom, but also make a wish to Him."

It turned out to be a prank left by the Lord of Mysteries. Unfortunately, He has been dead for a long time... Lewis looked at the poisonous snake beside him in surprise. It was hard to imagine that this snake existed in the same era as the Lord of Mysteries.

The next moment, he ended the summoning and returned to Sefirah Castle.

Looking up, Lewis could still see a thread of fate rushing into the depths of the gray fog. His destiny was connected with the Lord of Mysteries.

“I have found the entrance to the River of Destiny and can feel the call of the Source Essence, but I still don’t know what the Lord of Mysteries’ purpose is, and I don’t know how I will attract the Outer Gods.

Whether to fuse the source essence, I need to think carefully about it."

Lewis returned to his original body, and at this time, his body was being carried on Miss Elana's shoulders.
