The old man you see with your phone is highly suspicious.

Let me see your fate!

The next moment, the owl's pupils saw the ever-spinning universe, the brain about to explode, and then only clear stupidity remained.

Athena stopped thinking.JPG

……

She had always been curious about the ancestors of this son of man.

Discovering heroes, learning about the legends of their ancestors, and then ensuring that those legends continue in the next generation—this has always been the story that the gods love to see most.

Because in this era, every hero has some divine blood in them, either they are a second or third generation of gods, or their ancestors were.

But this hero is completely different. Because his real name is unknown, we cannot see his past or know his ancestors.

Was he a hero from the Argo? Or perhaps the offspring of some deity?

Whether out of curiosity or a desire to witness the fate of this destined confidant, Athena, now in the form of an owl, was excitedly rubbing her hands together.

One end of the thread of fate wrapped around the owl's leg, and then, as if by magic, entered Xue's body.

Let me see!

Athena closed her eyes; she was about to witness her voyeuristic destiny.

then……

She was stunned.

What she saw were towering modern buildings, bustling metropolises, and interconnected mobile phones and computers...

In fact, it's much more than that!

A renowned information scientist once said that for people living in the information age, the amount of information they receive every hour by opening any network is far greater than the amount of information received by people in ancient times in a year.

Because of brain protection, this information is often not retained as memory, but it will be permanently stored in the deepest subconscious of the mind.

Athena herself proved that this theory was correct.

Even the greatest adventurers of ancient Greece had minds filled with a cycle of adventure, robbery, sleeping with people, and more adventure.

Even those who glimpse the fate of the gods often only have a few times more stories than mortal heroes, with little change in content.

Now, Athena is not seeing information about one person, but rather a bombardment of information on the order of tens of millions, hundreds of billions, or even trillions!

This information was instantly flooded into Athena's mind in less than a millisecond. At that moment, she felt as if her CPU was about to overheat.

What may be a vague or forgotten story for Xue's Law is a magnificent story that Athena experienced firsthand.

No, for her right now, this is exactly what she is experiencing firsthand!

She experienced the cramming-in-knowledge-filled student days of this mortal known as "Xue's Law".

They experienced an adventure in another world with an old ghost.

She saw countless... countless stories and worlds...

She witnessed the insignificance of living beings in the vast and boundless starry sky, and also ventured into the true depths of the stars, witnessing countless people's great adventures...

Many memories and information that were vague to Xue's Law were like firsthand experiences for Athena; she seemed to have traversed five thousand years of history in just a few seconds.

Sumer, Camelot, Thermopylae, Odyssey, Celts, Rome, Macedonia, Persia, the Three Kingdoms, the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution, World War I, World War II...

She saw endless waves.

She saw the king raising a bonfire, flames shooting into the sky.

Seeing the city walls stretching for thousands of kilometers, the stationed soldiers gazed into the distance, unable to see the end of them.

As we saw the ornately decorated gates of Chang'an, a magnificent display of fireworks lit up the sky.

On that frozen snowfield, soldiers armed with guns and bayonets charged forward, smoke billowing everywhere, blood staining the snow red—a poignant beauty.

Seeing the mechanical bird soar into the sky! That was the first time humanity had conquered the skies.

And in the ocean, countless aircraft carriers and planes fought fiercely, resulting in the destruction of those massive ships hundreds of meters long.

And inside the rocket's hatch, the beautiful blue Earth appears on the rapidly ascending screen...

She seemed to have witnessed the rise and fall of the world, as if she had personally experienced it all.

Students, office workers, ninjas, samurai, secret agents, teachers, soldiers, heroes, hunters...

Countless stories, countless otherworldly realms, countless scenes—in the end, she seemed to have truly arrived in the depths of the stars.

And then, an old man in white robes, who seemed to be there to greet her, said, “Hello, child, you can call me ‘Joshua,’ the great sage Joshua.”

Chapter 46 The Fallen Goddess

Inside the temple, the owl ceased thinking altogether, collapsed to the ground, and, along with the resting Xue Lude, appeared to be dead.

And in her mind, she not only experienced Xue's Law, but also saw the Great Sage's journey...

……

It was a world utterly destroyed, a land of steel, the entire planet turned into a dead star, with only one gravedigger remaining.

“Take them away… Thank you… Savior…”

This is the planet where the Great Sage embarked on his final journey to save the world, and also the end of his life. The old man chose to end his journey here.

The gravedigger was long dead; the one who spoke with the Great Sage in the end was merely a withered, unwilling soul.

After the great sage received the beehive, he fell silent.

This distorted flesh-and-blood hive is theoretically a spiritual ascension, storing the souls of people all over the world within it. The gravedigger, as the last surviving being, will watch over it for thousands or tens of thousands of years until he meets a savior who can take over the hive.

However, the honeycomb had collapsed many years ago.

The hive is theoretically a spiritual paradise where spiritual beings live in peace and contentment until they are truly saved.

However, as time went on, the hive began to collapse, and more and more spiritual entities became twisted, bizarre, and mutated, constantly assimilating the normal spiritual entities around them.

If we consider the beehive as a living entity, with its spiritual entities being cells, then almost 99.9% of the cells in this beehive have become cancerous.

The gravedigger believed he was guarding the only hope for his civilization, but he was completely unaware that the paradise of the afterlife inside the hive was the true hell on earth.

The Great Sage held the beehive in his hand; it was the weight of a civilization, weighing a total of 1867 grams.

The weight of 80 billion souls now contains a twisted hell.

"You've arrived." The Great Sage looked in Athena's direction.

Athena fell silent. She realized that this old man was speaking to her across countless times of time and space, across fate itself.

"Perhaps my journey has come to an end, and I am tired." The Great Sage said calmly, looking at Athena as if he had seen through fate and everything.

"From now on, my good-for-nothing student will be in your care." The Great Sage smiled and looked at the gravedigger who had turned to ashes. In the end, he decided to fulfill the request of this soul from his homeland.

On this dead planet, witnessed by Athena, the young mage who had run away in his youth used his blood to gather in the hive, using his last power for this unknown civilization.

Cursed Blood, at full power.

"Buzz!"

He transferred all the suffering of eight billion lives onto himself at once, but he did not suffer in the end. He seemed to be smiling as he said his final farewell.

The cursed blood dissipated in the sky, leaving only echoes in the desolate planet.

"Old friend, let's go home..."

A noble soul died far from home.

And that new life of civilization, filled with eight billion living beings.

……

Athena had no idea how she felt.

Because next, she saw a naive young boy who had taken over his teacher's Noble Phantasm and, under his teacher's final guidance, embarked on a new journey.

That child saw Ragnarok, the end of the world, and the Great Flood.

The World Thief, driven by his own selfish desires, destroyed the world, buried history, and created a new “paradise” ruled by a monotheistic god!

He will confront the world thief, destroy the prelude to the world's destruction, and then, without any hesitation, utter the exact same words as his "great sage" teacher.

Cursed Blood, at full power.

The suffering of these 80 billion souls!

……

Athena fell silent; she couldn't understand why there was such an old woman and a child.

They live in a world completely unrelated to them, and they are strangers to each other, so why do they all make almost the exact same choices?

Even if I die far from home.

It's not for profit, it's not for power.

Is it really worth it for someone you don't even know?

Isn't that too cruel to yourself?

Is this their level of awareness...?

Unable to understand, unable to think.

Athena completely lost her composure. At this moment, she even began to doubt who she really was. Was she still the virgin goddess Athena of Olympus?

Personality is shaped by memories.

But the Athena of today has witnessed thousands of years of history, traveled to billions of worlds, and traversed countless unknown stars.

In the outside world, it was only a few seconds, but in the spiritual world, it felt as if tens of thousands of years of energy had been completely experienced. The experience of being "Athena" was now only a small corner of my mind.

Who is she now?

Athena? Schrödinger's Law? Or a great sage?

She couldn't tell anymore; she really couldn't tell anymore. Endless information was overwhelming her, almost making her lose her way.

She experienced tens of thousands of worlds in Xue's destiny, each world's grandeur no less than Athena's life.

In particular, the beliefs of the old man and the young man gave her a slight shock of a parallel world.
