Mystery: She came from the Chaos Sea.

Chapter 21 Want to be salted fish? Think of the fish on the cutting board.

Amanisis did not investigate the matter of the brick for the time being.

The immediate priority is to address the mixed characteristics extracted from the remains of the two-headed demon wolf.

Amanises, reflecting on her attempt during this journey, sighed with a wry smile, "I tried to use my divinity to crush it, but my power was weaker than its. This caused my first attempt to fail."

First attempt...

Hermaine, keenly grasping the key point in Amanisis's words, asked in surprise, "How many times did you try?"

In a mysterious world, diligence and hard work aren't always a good thing. Repeated attempts, especially when heading in the wrong direction, mean exposing yourself to uncontrollable risks.

A hint of apprehension and a deep-seated fear flickered in Amanisis's profound eyes, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "The second attempt was not guided by my will."

Was it not Amanisis's will that was in control?

Recalling the agonizing torment Amanises experienced upon her return, Helmaenie couldn't help but wonder, "Could it be that the will of that being has awakened within you?"

"Not quite." Amanisis's expression was one of bewilderment as she described it: "It was more like a inducement. Just when I was at my wit's end with the mixed properties, a powerful gravitational pull from an unknown place plunged my consciousness into a hazy gray fog of a painful dream."

"I don't know why... but at that time I suddenly had a sense of confidence that I could separate the mixed characteristics. No, to be precise, I suddenly became certain that I had the ability to accurately separate the extraordinary characteristics of abilities such as 'tampering' and 'resurrection' from the remnants of the two-headed demon wolf."

"Moreover, in that gray mist dream, my craving for the 'Calamity' characteristic was completely transformed into a craving for the 'Tampering' and 'Resurrection' characteristics."

"In that situation, I found myself instinctively trying out the crushing properties a second time."

"Moreover, with the support of that unknown aura, the second shattering effect was actually subtly effective..."

The aura of gray mist? Perhaps it's the aura of the Source Castle? Helmaine wondered in her heart. With the Source Castle's status as a top-tier source material, even just its aura was enough to suppress the extraordinary characteristics of a Fool's Path Sequence One that hadn't truly been activated.

"But I also know that if this continues, the legend you mentioned will probably reappear..." A strange emotion flashed in Amanisis's eyes for a moment, but it disappeared in an instant, making Hermaine even think that she was imagining things.

But Amanisis suddenly whispered, "At that moment, when even I couldn't help but feel fear and despair, my instinctive reaction was to run back..."

Amanisis's gentle yet restrained gaze fell upon Helmaene: "In that desperate situation, I instinctively thought of you at home, Helmaene."

Me? Hermaine was taken aback.

She then understood Amanisis's pointed guess and that audacious trust...

All I can say is, she truly deserves to be called the future goddess of the night. This keen intuition, this bold attempt... Helmaenie couldn't help but sigh inwardly. But then she thought, this kind of frankness might not be such a bad thing.

Possessing both "knowledge" and "the future," she needs a sufficiently powerful partner to truly make a difference in her current situation.

Otherwise, this "knowledge" and "information" about the future would be difficult to convert into resources for her growth.

Just like the past six months I've lived in the Demon Wolf Kingdom.

Although she confirmed and organized a great deal of knowledge far beyond the present era, and made considerable progress in the creation of characters, she made almost no improvement in her personal abilities.

The experience of almost being killed by the gray-clad "Salinger" with a single glance brought back to Helmaenie the fear of being dominated by death...

I recalled the fear I felt when I first arrived, facing the stench and sharp, gaping maw of the wolf cub!

She was actually subconsciously avoiding things before...

Under Amanisis's protection, hiding in this safe house-like dwelling, they were unaware and complacently escaping the bloody law of the Second Era, where the strong prey on the weak.

But reality won't change just because you try to escape it!

This is the second era, a time when the barbarity has not yet faded!

It is the second era in which extraordinary beings are driven by their instinct to aggregate without restraint; it is the second era of madness before order has been born!

Want to be a salted fish in the Second Era?

Helmayne realized at that moment how foolish and ridiculous her idea was. The fusion of Helmayne and Zhou Mingxiang's two souls inevitably influenced her with the complacent mindset that Zhou Mingxiang had developed in a peaceful environment.

The fusion of two souls, but does Zhou Mingxiang, whose lifespan was shorter, account for a larger proportion?

Helmani realized the problem, and she thought of her recent connection with that indescribable "ocean".

That "sea," those "bricks," and those "researchers" are all resurrected legacies left behind by the omniscient and omnipotent God—

It is the primordial substance "Chaos Sea" that God once held, the "Blasphemy Slab" containing God's remains, and the ancient sun god who has not yet awakened and contains the unique dual pathways of "Sun" and "Hanged Man"!

Isn't my own connection with these things similar to Zhou Mingrui's experience in the Fifth Era?

Just like Zhou Mingrui is the "cured meat" on Yuanbao.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

And I am actually a piece of dried meat from the Chaos Sea?

Helmani smiled bitterly to herself, knowing that being an old hag wasn't easy; one was bound to bear certain roles and fates.

Helmani pursed her lips, no longer avoiding the question. She took the initiative and asked Amanisis, who was waiting silently, "Did you see anything clearly in the gray fog?"

Sensing Helmani's change in attitude, Amanisis responded preparedly, "A door, a dark blue-green door of light. Do you know what it is?"

Helmani said with some reservation, "It's Source Matter. It's the Source Matter that being once ruled."

Hermaine still dared not rashly utter the names of those source substances, fearing that such names with clear implications might cause unknown disturbances. After all, Amanisis was a fully divine subordinate god, while she was just a weakling without even divinity.

Amanisis pondered the word in his heart. He sensed Hermaine's apprehension about it and did not force Hermaine to elaborate.

"Is it dangerous?" Amanisis asked.

Hermaine sighed heavily:

"It is both danger and opportunity. Embrace it, and you will rise above the divine."

"However, this comes with the danger of that will's resurgence, and the process of such a resurgence is practically unavoidable... especially since you accept it in such a completely wrong way, the outcome is inevitable."
