Let's start over, Your Majesty.

Chapter 245 The Great Destruction, the Seeds of Truth

Nighttime, Ecological Institute

Muirna sat quietly on the balcony of her cottage, gazing at the moonlight filtering through the openwork metal dome of the ecological institute above.

The clock struck ten, its sound echoing around the cottage.
At that moment, she felt a slight tug at her consciousness, as if something was watching her.

"coming?"

She stood up, and the next moment, a golden vortex appeared in front of her, slowly rotating and pulsating, with nothingness at its center, as if leading to another world.

She knew what this was; that being had now issued her a pass.
With her level of magic, she could feel the immense magical power surging from the vortex.

She took a deep breath, and without further hesitation, reached out her hand and touched the golden vortex.

She was instantly pulled in.

After a brief pull, my feet finally landed firmly on the ground.
Muirna surveyed her surroundings. Thick fog enveloped the area, rendering her sense of life force as an elf ineffective.

She slowly took a step forward.

Soon, the thick fog dissipated, golden light shone down, and a magnificent palace was revealed before her.

She was also shocked by the grandeur that exceeded her imagination, and then she saw the blurry figure sitting on that throne.

Although she couldn't see clearly, the sheer majesty of the other person was enough to tell her who they were.

“Rean Tandin,” she called out calmly.

An ancient emperor from the same era as her, the one whose fame has lasted for millennia, appeared before her. His voice was similar to that of a hundred years ago, giving her a sense of familiarity that transcended time.

But she was calm and had long been mentally prepared for what was to come.

The figure on the throne spoke:

"The elves of today are still as arrogant as ever. Don't they bow to me when they see me?"

Caesar sat on his throne and spoke in a deep voice.

Muirner smiled faintly: "I am not your subject for the time being, Rean. Whether I ultimately choose to be loyal to you depends on our next conversation."

"Oh? You think that once you're inside, you'll have any other choice?" Caesar sneered.

“I came here today prepared to die. If the negotiations fail, there will only be one outcome: you will kill me.” Muirna’s tone was terrifyingly calm as he silently gazed at the sacred figure on the throne.

"hehe."

Caesar laughed.

"Very well. In that case, I will not ignore your resolve. I hope you will live up to my trust in you in the future."

"Begin. What you wish me to know." Muirna breathed a slight sigh of relief, quickly composed himself, and looked up at the figure, saying:

"In 640 AD, which is thirteen years from now, a second great catastrophe will occur. This time, the natural disaster will completely destroy the world."

The hall fell silent for a moment, with only the faint sound of the thick fog swirling around it.

“Your evidence,” Caesar said in a deep voice.

"Fifteen years after your death, a major meteorite impact occurred in the Arctic Circle, causing an ancient site from tens of thousands of years ago to reappear. My parents were elven magic researchers. They were ordered by the Elven King Fritlis to go to the vicinity of that ancient site in the Arctic Circle to study it, hoping to discover ancient secrets."

"But halfway through the research, they discovered something else: the magic within the Arctic Circle was experiencing severe disruption and uncertainty, which was a harbinger of the Great Destruction."

Muirna raised her hand, and a bright green light flashed in her palm. But when the light faded, an irregular, jet-black stone fragment appeared in her palm.
Within the Boundless Heavenly Realm, he could directly sense the extremely chaotic magical power on the stone fragment.

“This is a Mobit crystal, the most insensitive energy storage crystal in nature to changes in magic. Normally, it would take three months to fill it with magic, but now, it’s completely corrupted and it only took three seconds,” Muirna said.

"This phenomenon, which occurs within the Arctic Circle, was discovered by me fifty years ago. The last time this phenomenon was discovered was by my parents, who warned the Elf King of the impending catastrophe, but it was not taken seriously at the time."

Caesar remained silent, continuing to listen to her explanation.

"After my parents discovered this phenomenon, they conducted research in the Arctic Circle for thirty years. The research data they left behind was passed down to me, and during an Arctic expedition fifty years ago, I used their theories to discover this omen once again."

Muirner stared at him intently and said:

"Rather than calling it a second Great Destruction, it's more accurate to say that the Great Destruction never truly ended, but simply fell into a temporary dormancy. Now, it is about to awaken, and this time, it will utterly destroy our world."

“I didn’t believe this fact at first either, so I found a descendant of the Hellanells family, a family of fortune tellers, and had her perform a divination. After hundreds of divinations using a large horoscope model, I confirmed this fact.”

"Humanity is about to face its end."

She remained silent after speaking, awaiting Caesar's reply.

Caesar tapped two fingers on the armrest of the throne and calmly asked:
"If that's the case, why don't you tell the current authorities about this so they can make preparations, instead of coming to me for help?"

“Whether they believe it or not is one thing. If they do believe it, then what they do will not be to do everything in their power to save the world. Moreover, with the world’s current level of development, it is simply unable to withstand this great destruction. Releasing the news when there is no way to do anything will only lead to unpredictable chaos,” Muirner said calmly.

Caesar nodded.

Muirner is right. Given the current world situation, after learning of the apocalypse, all that awaits them is even more unbridled war, in order to concentrate their last limited resources and try to ensure the survival of the fewest possible people.

"So, what is the reason you have chosen to come and ask me for help? Do you believe that I can help humanity escape the apocalypse?" Caesar asked in a deep voice.

“My parents still have a large part of their legacy left in the former Arctic research institute, which was the result of their life’s work. And in that legacy, there may very well be the truth about the great destruction and the final solution. I need to get my hands on it,” Muirner said.

"But it is now shrouded in chaos and contains extremely high levels of power, making it impossible for anyone to get close. I cannot reach it with my own strength."

"Therefore I need to rely on your personal power to go there and obtain the truth of this world."
