My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

Just 20 meters away from them, an old building nearby collapsed under the weight of gravity, raising clouds of dust.

Bricks and tiles flew everywhere, and wall plaster was scattered.

The building where the two of them were standing was completely intact, seemingly just barely outside the range of the enemy's fire.

The two looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Sisters, this time...we seem to be having a bit of good luck?"

Vera's face turned slightly pale, but her eyes shone with a faint fervor.

As she gazed at the golden figure suspended atop the distant clock tower, her breathing grew increasingly rapid.

"The eighth quarter of the Star Clock, this is a superhuman that even ordinary night patrol captains can't handle!!"

"I never expected to see this up close, it was truly amazing..."

"No, no, what's so exciting about it! Mona's in danger, I have to go save her!"

"Oh, I won't go, I'm going home."

Weiss interrupted Vera and then turned and left.

"what?"

Vera was slightly taken aback at first, then swallowed her words, "Aren't we companions?" She remembered that Weiss was only a level 9 Wind Addict, and it was indeed time to run away.

Vera stopped hesitating and rushed towards the street alone.

Seeing this, Weiss simply shook his head: "This cuckolded woman is truly beyond saving..."

After leaving a message, Weiss walked away without looking back towards where the carriage was parked.

In fact, within just a few seconds of the eighth hour of the Star Clock's arrival, the exploration progress of the World Book's Moonlit City had already surged to 50%.

A significant increase in exploration progress in Diana City has been detected.

Moonlit City - Exploration progress 40% → 50%

The World Book: Destiny Options (Fifth Round) is now activated.

Fate Tide detected!

Please choose one of the following five options. The reward will take effect immediately after you make your final choice.

1. Reveal the secrets of a path

2. Reveal the secrets of a path

3. Reveal the secrets of a path

4. Reveal the secrets of a path

5. Reveal the secrets of a path

The tides of fate...?

All five options are the same, except that they are presented as cards, each with a different pattern and texture engraved on its face.

They are wind, rain, whirlpool, lightning, and mountains.

The mystery of the route? After quickly glancing at the reward, Weiss still didn't change his mind about returning home the way he came.

Although Weiss is not yet clear about what the mystery of the path represents, unless he directly ascends to the 7th rank, he cannot possibly have the ability to directly confront a 7th rank transcendent.

Facing such an opponent...

Let alone escaping back to the mansion.

Once we return to the Serenis family, we must immediately take Elune and leave Moonlit City.

Protecting Elune is the top priority.

There are currently no Level 7 transcendent beings guarding the entire city, so its fall is only a matter of time.

Even without personally engaging in combat with that eighth-level opponent—

Just by seeing what happened, I can only judge based on my own feelings.

Weiss already knew it all too well.

This extraordinary individual, known as one of the Ten Great Masters, was able to slaughter everyone in the city of Moonlit Night in just a few minutes.

However, just as Weiss was only a few steps away from the carriage...

The figure hovering in the air made no attempt to conceal its voice.

"Where is the moon of the Selenes family?"

"..."

"..."

The moment those words reached his ears—

Weiss paused for a moment as he walked toward the carriage.

The moon of the Selene family?

Is this Tier 7 Transcendent's purpose in coming to Moonlit City for the Serenis family?

Weiss immediately thought of the Selenes family's crescent emblem.

There is also Elune, a person in a vegetative state who is in a deep sleep.

"It seems it's too late..."

After pondering for a few seconds, Weiss still did not step into the carriage, but instead opened the Book of the World once again.

After the exploration progress of Moonlit City reaches 50%, the prompt that appears is not a Fate Node, but a Fate Tide.

In other words, this was a crucial life-or-death event.

That being the case...

There's no time to hesitate anymore.

With his first instinct, Weiss slowly drew the card with the vortex pattern directly from the Book of Worlds.

3. Unveiling the secrets of a drug addict's path

Mystery: The ability to use skills that an extraordinary individual might struggle to discover even after spending years, decades, or even a lifetime on a single path.

Even if there are a hundred identical paths, perhaps only one person will be able to grasp the mystery.

The secrets of this addiction are about to be revealed.

The next second, the card engraved with a vortex gracefully flipped.

In Weiss's mind, a prompt and guidance instantly resounded.

A person addicted to drugs can influence the emotions of others with their own emotions, but can an 8th-level climate master only change the weather?

Only by incorporating the characteristics of a wind addict into the environment of a climatologist can one hear the voice of all things.

Then, the card shattered into a golden light.

That's right, just those two sentences.

Weiss's eyes froze, and in that instant, he seemed to have found a truth from among countless sources of wisdom that he could never forget.

Countless insights and knowledge, resembling data codes, were forcibly embedded into Weiss's mind.

After regaining my senses.

Weiss slowly opened his eyes and murmured, "So that's how it is. This is the secret of the path."

"Perhaps right now, I could drink ten drops of a level 7 magic potion directly."

"So, World Book, why don't you just give me the Tier 7 potion already...?"

Weiss grumbled, then turned around and began to slowly walk towards the ruins area shrouded in gravity.

A thick white fog and a strong wind gradually rose from his body.

If the other party intends to head directly to the mansion, then there is no way I can catch up with them at my current speed.

and so--

He had to stay here and, bit the bullet, intercept the eighth quarter...

In a few breaths, Weiss's figure was completely covered by the Wind Cloak.

Just then, a blinding white light flashed across the night sky above Moonlit City, followed by a deafening roar and thunder.

It just so happens that there's a thunderstorm today...

-

-

In the ruins area, Vera quickly ran to the edge of the gravity field.

She cautiously stepped one foot in, but upon feeling the terrifying pressure of gravity, she hissed and immediately pulled her foot back.

Wow, that's really heavy! It feels like I kicked the corner of the table off with my toes...

She paused for a moment, still shaken, then slowly closed her eyes and gently touched the outer edge of the gravity field with her palm.

"Gravity, release it!!"

"Wow—"

With a thud.

The air was visibly torn open.

However, just as Vera stepped in triumphantly again, she was once again crushed by the weight and cried out in pain.

She looked up in disbelief at the golden figure in the sky.

"No way, this person's ability isn't gravity?"

"Never mind..."

"Then—"

"For the next three minutes, I will be unaffected by any of the abilities of the Eighth Quarter!!"

As Vera finished her whimsical words, her body was instantly covered by a dreamy purple halo, and then she swaggered into the gravity circle as if nothing had happened.

Then, she jogged over to Mona's vicinity, intending to drag Mona out in broad daylight while everyone was watching.

Upon noticing this scene, the night patrol members, who were lying on the ground nearby under the weight of gravity, were all stunned.

Ironically, even though she had already walked in, she couldn't budge Mona, who was only 1.4 meters tall, no matter what she did. Instead, she collapsed to the ground, exhausted, with blood flowing from her nose.

"No way, you fat pig, you're way too heavy!?"

Mona: "......"

At the eighth moment, he glanced down and said indifferently, "A mere extravagant eighth-level dreamer, not even a dreamer, dares to disregard my abilities?"

He completely ignored Vera's actions, slowly descended from the sky, and stood on top of the ruins.

Then, with a light wave of his hand, he released the weight pressing down on the red-haired woman.

The red-haired woman immediately stood up and began coughing violently.

"Cough, cough cough—"

"direction......"

At the eighth moment, he impatiently urged them on.

Gradually, after a dozen seconds, the red-haired woman's pupils regained some clarity.

She scrambled to the blond figure, sprawling and stumbling, and cried out, "My lord, I'll take you there right now, hahaha..."

"Hahahaha, hehehehe..."

Suddenly, for some unknown reason, the red-haired woman's lips curled into a strange, uncontrollable grin.

Then, as if possessed, he covered his mouth and burst into wild laughter.

"What's so funny?"

At the eighth moment, he turned and looked at her coldly.
