"The Supreme Court?"

Xie Bai was suddenly stunned.

No, how come I see this thing everywhere? It's never going to end, is it?

Xie Bai grabbed the scattered group and pulled them over.

"Hey, come here and explain to me where this place is, and what's this High Court all about?"

Faced with Xie Bai's questioning, Yi San Tuan made a gurgling sound, and then a piece of text appeared.

[The Primordial Moment, the beginning of the sacred timeline, and also the location of the primordial artifact "High Court," is the origin of everything that predates the First Age and the Primordial Sea.]

The Sacred Timeline has not yet been fully anchored and is still in its final stages.

Looking at the information provided by the Yisan Group, Xie Bai roughly understood his current situation.

"Good heavens... who set up this respawn point? Why are we being attacked so early?"

As he spoke, Xie Bai turned his head to look at the magnificent, floating hall in the center.

"So you're saying I need to deal with that thing again before I can move on, right?"

[This is irrelevant. Even without destroying the High Court, time would still flow forward, but the Sacred Timeline is immutable; once it moves forward, it cannot be reversed.]

Destroying the High Court here only creates a historical record of its destruction. True destruction can only be achieved by completing the final stage while ensuring that history is not altered and by completely anchoring the sacred timeline.

"Oh, I see..."

Looking at the explanation given by the Yisan Group, Xie Bai felt as if he had learned something.

"In short, if I want to get rid of this eyesore, this is my only chance. If I miss it, I won't get another one."

[Theoretically, yes]

"Hmph...that makes things simple."

In an instant, Xie Bai felt his thoughts become clear.

Just as she picked up the ceremonial funerary object, preparing to try to make contact with the so-called Supreme Court itself, the scene before her eyes instantly changed.

Welcome back to "Critical Point". How may I help you?

"Huh?"

Has she... returned to the critical space?

Xie Bai glanced at his health points and discovered that they had dropped to only 1% at some point, almost forcing him to restart the game right after resurrecting.

[We have just detected that your vital signs are in an extremely dangerous range and have initiated automatic return to base. Do you have any other questions?]

Are there any other questions?

This is a huge problem!

What happens when someone is just about to show off their skills, only to be told the next second they've been sent back to the rest area?

"Well, it seems I underestimated the High Court..."

The other party is, after all, a primordial artifact, and the very origin of everything. How could it possibly be completely unprepared for its intrusion?

Xie Bai was a little surprised that the numerical difference between her and him was even greater than she had anticipated.

Even though she already had an extremely high health value of over two thousand, she was reduced to almost nothing in a short time.

For some reason, Xie Bai suddenly felt a pang of longing for the void.

If the Void Godhood and the Void Poems were still around at this point, she would have already activated her invincibility and wrecked the High Court.

Seeing Xie Bai's dejected look, the Yi San Group suddenly reminded him.

[Located in a primordial moment far removed from the final destination, the power of the end times is largely ineffective. If you do not mind, you may control me as one of your combat methods. My true form is an energy cluster that escaped from the final destination, and I still retain a portion of the end times' power.]

However, it should be noted that until you can independently create the final power, I will not receive any energy replenishment; it is a non-renewable resource for this stage.

Upon seeing this notification, Xie Bai's expression became somewhat complicated.

"Why didn't you say so sooner..."

Sorry, you did not ask any questions about this before.

"..."

Alright, since things have come to this, let's first seriously consider how to deal with that High Court outside.

Xie Bai rummaged through his backpack, trying to find anything else that might be of use.

"A proper funeral, the Seven Curses Rings, a witch's training diary, chocolates, and... um?"

Xie Bai took out a deep blue spear and asked with a puzzled look.

"Why did all the other artifacts drop, but you're the only one left?"

This spear is the "First Wave," a divine artifact that Xie Bai found in the Abandoned Narrow Space. According to the background information, it was once the companion artifact of the God of the Sea.

For some reason, this most useless artifact to Xie Bai became the artifact that she could keep in her backpack the most.

"Well, it's fine as a souvenir."

After packing his backpack, Xie Bai finally came to a conclusion.

Aside from the two veterans, the Funeral Rites and the Seven Curses Rings, who are still useful, she probably can't count on anything else.

The Exiles seem somewhat useful, but they are currently a non-renewable resource; once used, they are gone. Furthermore, their size doesn't seem like it could wipe out the High Court in one fell swoop.

Even if you want to engage in a protracted struggle, you need to find a way to provide them with supplies.

The only term that currently resembles a means of replenishment is "nourishment," mentioned in the context of resolving differences.

But the prerequisite for resolving the disagreement is the existence of the possibility of disagreement. In this small, impoverished place, where can she find these possibilities...?

"etc."

Xie Bai suddenly recalled that she seemed to have an ability related to possibility.

[Gluttony as a Theocracy: Obsession as Gourmetism]

You can devour certain aspects of yourself in exchange for a short-term, extreme boost, while simultaneously increasing the likelihood of achieving something, even if the original likelihood was zero.

[*You can choose to defeat others and then use some of their possessions to activate this divine authority, but the effect is only one ten-thousandth of that when you devour yourself, and you need to complete the corresponding digestion time before you can activate the final effect.]

[*When you choose to devour something of yourself to activate this divine power, the effect increases to 7 times the original, and then that amplification factor is multiplied by 7.]

Hmm...

The utility increased to seven times its original value?

Could it be...?

Xie Bai seemed to have thought of something, and then turned his gaze to the scattered group.

"You should belong to me, shouldn't you?"

【…】

The group of people who had left the group remained silent for a moment before answering.

[Correct. I come from the final destination, and am an energy cluster belonging to the end times. I should rightfully be under your control.]

"Oh, in that case, I'll try to borrow some of your power first."

As he spoke, Xie Bai began to unleash his Gluttony Divine Power on the Yi San Group, devouring most of its power in a short time.

Before he could even experience the limited-time attribute boost from the Gluttony Divine Authority, Xie Bai focused all his attention on building up possibilities.

For your first attempt, start with something simple.

"I hope tomorrow will be sunny, rainy, windy, or snowy, or I hope there is no tomorrow."

Multiple prayers converged into the Gluttony Divine Authority. Instead of correcting the contradictions among them, the Gluttony Divine Authority directly offered multiple possibilities simultaneously, intertwined with each other, before Xie Bai.

The moment Xie Bai made contact, the divisions within the final divine authority were resolved.

[Should we select one possibility and eliminate the others?]
