The story of the black silk female knight

For example, observing a person's fate for a single day is something that most of our disciples who have cultivated for a few years can do... But to observe the fate of a country for the next few decades, it would require the elders of the sect to lead many disciples in a joint spell... and even then, success is not guaranteed, as elders often suffer the backlash of fate and perish on the spot.

Our Star Altar's supreme secret technique can only be activated by the Altar Master... It requires the Altar Master to lead all the elders in casting the spell, and to succeed with the help of the magical artifact left behind by the founding ancestor.

This supreme secret technique can predict the fate of the entire Thirteen Provinces of Tianxuan for 500 years at a time, but it can only be activated once every 500 years.

It happens every 500 years, and each prediction covers 500 years?

Valensa had a sudden inspiration and immediately connected the two time points.

The Church of the Sun completely withdrew from the Eastern Continent more than 300 years ago. The Holy Gate, where Himiko was located, was destroyed by the combined forces of the Sword Pavilion and the Star Altar more than 700 years ago... Taking into account the battles and preparations in the early stages, the difference is exactly the cooldown time of one of the Star Altar's supreme secret techniques.

"...I imagine most of you have some guesses in your hearts, right?"

The doll-like girl seemed to have sensed what everyone was thinking, and sighed softly again:

"You guessed right. More than 800 years ago, our Star Altar saw the Dragon Emperor, who was then just an ordinary prince of the Central Continent Empire, in the destiny... We knew that he would be able to establish a great empire, truly unify the thirteen states of Tianxuan that had been in war for years, end the chaos, and bring blessings to all people."

So from that time on, our Star Altar has been providing the Dragon Emperor with free assistance... helping him fend off assassinations during the power struggles within the royal family, helping him enter the Sword Pavilion and embark on the path of cultivation, helping him become friends with Xiao Hu, the then-heir of the Sword Pavilion, helping him become lovers with Xiao Yu, the young lady of the Sword Pavilion with the extraordinary celestial phenomenon, and helping him become the Pavilion Master of the Sword Pavilion and completely take control of the Sword Pavilion.

As expected, the Dragon Emperor followed the trajectory of destiny as seen in our supreme secret method of the Star Altar. He first relied on the power of the Sword Pavilion to fight his way back to the palace and seize the throne of the Central State Empire. Then, he worked diligently to eliminate all the corrupt officials who only knew how to line their own pockets and promoted various talents, which led to the rapid growth of the Central State Empire's national strength in a short period of time.

During this period, there were political enemies and enemy forces who wanted to get rid of the Dragon Emperor, but our Star Altar and Sword Pavilion fully supported him. He had an absolute advantage in high-end combat power and could crush all conspiracies head-on.

What followed was the rise of the Central Continent Empire, which conquered the north and south, sweeping across the Thirteen Continents of Tianxuan with overwhelming superiority, defeating all enemies, including the Holy Gate, and becoming the overlord of the continent.

That was about 500 years ago... In the 200 years before the unification of the Thirteen Provinces of Tianxuan, the lives of the people had indeed improved a lot compared to the period of war, and could be described as peaceful and prosperous.

The senior members of the Star Altar who had assisted the Dragon Emperor along the way were also very gratified at the time, believing that they had done a good deed for all living beings... Even if they could not be remembered in history, they could have a clear conscience.

Until… my father, who inherited the position of altar master, once again activated the supreme secret technique more than 300 years ago.

"This time, you've foreseen a rather bleak future?"

Valensa interrupted, handing the doll-like girl a cup of tea to moisten her mouth.

However, dolls don't have the function of drinking tea, so the doll girl simply rolled her eyes and continued her story:

"That was a very despairing outcome...almost all the paths of fate led to destruction, except for one path that offered a glimmer of hope."

Of course, Father would grasp that glimmer of hope, but the first hurdle on the road to hope was that Father himself did not know how to walk this road... He had to tell the people who needed to know how to walk this road in other ways.

At that time, the Central Continent Empire wanted to completely expel the influence of the Church of the Sun, so my father personally forged the puppet body I now possessed, sealing a part of my soul and the results of that supreme secret technique within it, entrusting his friend to bring it to the Divine Continent… and specifically instructing that paladin lady not to worry about me, that I would awaken naturally when the time was right, that destiny had already been predetermined.”

"So after that senior Inner Temple Knight brought you back to the Continent of Divine Favor, he just threw you into the church's treasury and left you there without a care... It seems that your father knew about many things that are happening now... He's really something." Valensa exclaimed sincerely.

"Of course, my father is the master of the Star Altar, the world's number one observer of destiny!"

The doll-like girl puffed out her chest proudly, but quickly became dejected again:

"I don't know what happened after that, because my memories only go up to when I was separated from my original body... everything after that is just speculation."

I think my father must have known that those tragic fates were all related to the Dragon Emperor, so he secretly investigated certain things about the Dragon Emperor and discovered his secrets... Ultimately, the Star Altar was destroyed, and neither my father nor his original self escaped.

Chapter 31 Elena Yuan Bader

The misty mountains between the desolate wastelands and the Witch's Forest on the continent of Frenoia are also the geographical center of the entire continent, deep underground.

A momentous event occurs when Valensa opens the strange box left behind by the previous generation of Middle-earth Imperial Knights and hears stories from a doll girl from over 300 years ago.

It was no coincidence that Thousand Leaf Grass encountered two cultists from the Abyss Spirit Society while cultivating in the Misty Mountains. There was indeed a secret lair of the Abyss Spirit Society hidden deep underground, concealed and disguised by six different layers of magical barriers, which prevented Valensa, who was extremely sensitive to the aura of evil gods, from discovering it.

The six layers of magical barriers are the highest-level magical barriers collected in the Sage's Tower, and the magical materials used to construct the barriers are almost all priceless treasures.

Such disguise and concealment methods are not something ordinary people can use, and even long-established cults that have been operating for hundreds of years would find it difficult to do.

But the current leader of the Abyss Spirit Society did just that, because he was not only the leader of the Abyss Spirit Society, but also the former 11th seat of the Council of Sages—Vincent.

Vincent wasn't even a core member of the Abyss Spirit Society. He was actually a true member of the Sage's Tower, but about a hundred years ago, he was bought off and controlled by the Abyss Spirit Society and became their mole in the Sage's Tower.

Later, with the covert support of the Abyss Spirit Society, Vincent stood out from his teacher's apprentices with his outstanding performance and obtained the position of the 11th Sage after his teacher left office, in turn providing some technical support to the Abyss Spirit Society.

Vincent's technical support was indispensable in enabling the Abyss Spirits to successfully summon Valensa's mother.

Unfortunately, the Abyss Spirit Society failed at the last minute. They had just summoned the evil god and hadn't even had a chance to communicate with him when the core and backbone members were attacked by Valensa's father while they were still weakened. Almost all of them were killed, and the evil god that they had managed to summon was taken home by Valensa's father as his wife.

This incident severely weakened the Yuanling Society and infuriated them. In order to retaliate against Valensa's father, the then-leader and all the powerful members of the society launched a surprise attack on Valensa's father, who was on an outing with his family, in the outskirts of the capital of Fran.

The raid was a success; Valencia's father was caught off guard and killed by a sword.

But this also enraged Valensa's mother, who no longer suppressed her evil god power and wiped out the Abyss Spirit Society, including its leader and two Moons and six Stars, with a wave of her hand as if stepping on ants.

At this point, almost all of the core members of the Abyss Spirit Society were wiped out, and the remaining remnants were relentlessly hunted down by Elana for three years, with few surviving.

In the end, all that remained of the Abyss Spirit Society was Vincent, the traitor planted within the Council of Sages.

If Vincent wanted, he could easily sell out all the members of the Abyss Spirit Society who had sided with him, completely clear his name, and sever all ties with the Abyss Spirit Society.

But Vincent didn't; he had his own ambitions.

Vincent, who came from the Tower of Sages, chose to join the Abyss Spirit Society not because he was brainwashed by the doctrines of a cult, nor did he ever intend to let the Abyss Spirit evil god descend and devour everything in the world.

What Vincent was interested in was the way cultists obtained power from evil gods—he wanted to use the technology of the Sage's Tower to create an evil god that he could control, making it an inexhaustible source of energy for him.

After the attack on Valensa's father, Vincent quickly guessed the truth and realized that Valensa was likely a very important member of the evil god's bloodline in his plan.

As the 11th sage of the Sage Council, Vincent naturally didn't take Valensa, who was just a down-on-her-luck noblewoman at the time, seriously. So he secretly sneaked into Fran, intending to kidnap Valensa for his experiments.

But at that time, Rika was also secretly observing Valensa, who was working as an adventurer in Sergin Town, which made Vincent not dare to make any rash moves—he realized how much the Church of the Sun valued Valensa, and he absolutely could not afford to offend the Church of the Sun.

Vincent had no choice but to settle for second best. He invited Valensa through her close friend Tia, who was an apprentice at the Sage's Tower, to attend his training institution to improve her skills.

Vincent already had some businesses in America, whose main business was to enhance the combat power of cultivators through body modification. This was welcomed by many business families, who were willing to spend money to have Vincent help modify and strengthen their family's assassins.

Vincent's plan at the time was to lure Valensa over, collect as much of her blood and other biological tissues as possible under the pretext of examining and strengthening her body, and then release her back—after all, he only needed biological samples of the evil god for cultivation, and there was no need to forcibly abduct Valensa herself, as it would be too much of a loss to attract the attention of the Church of the Sun for this purpose.

Unexpectedly, Valencia, a fallen noblewoman, was quite shrewd and remained unmoved by any sweet talk or seduction. Vincent was genuinely anxious at the time.

Because at that time Valensa had already made contact with the Church of the Sun and had begun her paladin training, her progress in various divine arts was rapid... If this continued, Vincent would not be able to keep his cultist identity from being exposed when facing Valensa.

Just as Vincent was about to take the risk of forcibly attacking Valensa to collect her blood, an unexpected helper presented him with a great gift.

It is a sinful angel.

The Abyss Spirits operation that Valensa thwarted at Iris Girls' Academy was actually the last stand of the last remaining members of the Abyss Spirits, excluding Vincent's faction, with the support of the Sin Angels.

Although the Sinful Angels observed from the shadows and did not intervene during the entire process from the start of the Abyss Spirits' operation until their defeat by Valensa, they still took some action in the minutes before Valensa awakened her evil god bloodline and Rika, Sheila, and Fran arrived with church support.

She used her clever illusions to deceive all the female students present, and without anyone noticing, she collected a lot of Valensa's blood, and then used that blood to make a deal with Vincent.

This is also the main reason why Vincent later lost interest in Valensa herself—he had already obtained Valensa's blood and the research was progressing smoothly, so there was naturally no need to fool Valensa herself anymore.

Vincent made great progress in his research on the blood of the evil god, but the investment was even greater—so great that it was difficult for him to maintain his position as the 11th seat of the Sage Council. He had to find a way to falsify accounts and embezzle various rare materials from the Sage's Tower to continue his research.

However, this behavior is like trying to hide fire with paper. No matter how much false accounting is done, the fact that so many rare materials were embezzled will be exposed sooner or later... That's why Vincent simply ran away and took advantage of the opportunity to collect a whole bunch of materials from the Sage's Tower before it was exposed, intending to complete the research in one go.

Now, this research has reached its final stage.

Deep underground in the research facility, the hundreds of remaining members of the Abyss Spirit Society gathered, intently watching the energy pool at the center of the laboratory.

These members of the Abyss Spirit Society no longer share the same mindset as the original members. They no longer think about letting the evil god descend and devour everything, but instead want to use the power of the evil god for their own purposes and obtain almost unlimited magic power.

Above the center of the energy pool, a concentrated blood sphere larger than a basketball floated, the culmination of Vincent's years of investing countless rare materials—an independent evil god life form, essentially an evil god embryo cloned using Valensa's blood.

Next, if the members of the Abyss Spirit Society perform a soul sacrifice on this evil god embryo, it will gain self-awareness and be born as Valensa's daughter, becoming the ruler of the Abyss Spirit Society.

But Vincent's elaborate scheme wasn't about finding himself a little tyrant to serve; he wanted a god-like power bank that could endlessly drain his power.

Therefore, Vincent will never allow this evil god embryo to gain self-awareness. He will inject a carefully crafted spell into the embryo to completely control it, just like humans in a technological civilization control a machine.

If it were a true evil god's offspring... even if it were only in fetal form, it would be something that Vincent, a mere mortal, could not easily control.

However, this evil god embryo is an artificial embryo, and during its creation, Vincent used various methods to suppress the birth of its soul and consciousness... Therefore, it has no self at all, and is just an artificial life form with the power of an evil god.

Such an evil god embryo can be controlled by humans... at least theoretically.

Vincent was also very confident, firmly believing that the result he had calculated hundreds of times would not be unexpected.

However, unsurprisingly, an unexpected event still occurred.

Vincent's hundreds of repetitive calculations were indeed correct; his mistake was in the very beginning.

The blood that Valensa had stolen by the angel of sin was not something unconscious from the beginning.

Just as Vincent was about to write a control spell into the already formed evil god embryo, the blood sphere suddenly beat a few times like a heart, and then began to absorb the magic power of the energy pool below. In just a few seconds, it drained all the energy that kept the entire underground facility running, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

Realizing something was wrong, Vincent quickly used magic to illuminate the surroundings again, only to find that the blood-ball-shaped evil god embryo had changed drastically.

She transformed into a young girl, wearing a sleeveless dress often worn by noble ladies of France, with crystal-colored stockings and white ankle boots.

She looks a lot like Valencia, with the same long brown hair tied in pigtails, one strand draped over her shoulders in front of her chest and the other hanging down her back.

Her beautiful eyes were also blue, but not the ocean-like azure of Valensa's normal state. Instead, they were the deep blue of her evil god form, even darker, almost a miniature version of the abyss vortex in Valensa's domain.

In addition, she is about 5 centimeters shorter than Valensa and has a smaller bust, probably only a B cup.

Judging by appearance alone, she is less charming and sexy than Valensa, but more sweet and cute... However, her expression is smug, almost the same as Valensa's when she's secretly drinking with prostitutes.

At this moment, facing the incredulous Vincent and hundreds of utterly dumbfounded cultists, the girl tilted her head with a mix of mischief and disdain:

"Thank you all for your hospitality over the past few years. Thanks to the energy-rich materials you've fed me, I finally have a suitable body to descend into… Although this body can only unleash about 70% of my original power, it's enough for my sister and me to have some fun. Thank you so much."

"You... are you?"

Vincent, finally snapping out of his daze, turned ashen-faced. He secretly hid his hands behind his back while questioning the brown-haired, twin-tailed girl floating in mid-air.

You really don't recognize me?

The girl chuckled:

"Who are you trying to fool? My sister and I look exactly alike, okay? Someone as self-righteous as you, how could you not recognize me?"

After laughing, the young woman lifted the hem of her skirt and twirled gracefully with elegant aristocratic manners:

"However... the others here probably don't really know me. As a lady, it's necessary to introduce myself properly first—Elena Yuan Bader, it's nice to meet you all."

"It's really you..."

Vincent's face turned even paler, and the veins in his neck bulged and trembled.

"Why? I clearly didn't summon your arrival..."

"Because I descended once three years ago... or rather, almost descended, but my sister stopped me."

The girl brushed the brown ponytail that was in front of her chest behind her back with her hand and shrugged.

"I was a little angry at the time... I was finally going to see my sister again, but she didn't want to see me and ruined my initiation ceremony."

So I decided to punish my sister a little... Before the descent portal closed, I attached a part of my consciousness to my sister, planning to descend in her daughter's body when she gives birth in the future to scare her.

Unexpectedly, I encountered a sneaky guy trying to steal my sister's blood... I was a little worried that he would use my sister's blood to hurt her... Although I was quite angry with my sister at the time, only I could bully her, and anyone else who bullied her would die!

However, by then the portal had closed, and my consciousness was disconnected from my physical body. The little power I had left was useless, so I could only lie dormant in my sister's blood, waiting for an opportunity.

"I never expected you guys to be so audacious... Hmph, but that's perfect. I'll use you fools as a core, and with my sister's blood as the core, I've created a body in this world that can withstand my consciousness... Now I can finally have some fun with my sister!"

"...No! You don't want to! That body is mine! It took all my effort!"

Vincent could no longer contain himself upon hearing this. He roared and charged forward, slamming the scroll he had secretly taken out earlier onto the girl.

"Go back to the negative space, you wretched evil god consciousness! This world doesn't welcome you!"

A burst of blazing golden light erupted instantly, causing many other cultists in the laboratory to scream in agony, either blinded by the intense light or burned by the high temperature.

Vincent, the former 11th seat of the Council of Sages and the current leader of the Abyss Spirit Society, actually pulled out a divine scroll to launch a sneak attack at this time. It was a top-level banishment divine spell, specifically used to expel all kinds of powerful evil creatures from the world.

He may have anticipated this worst-case scenario and made ample preparations.

But...it didn't work.

The high temperature, enough to melt most metals, couldn't even burn through the evil goddess's dress.

The divine magic's expulsion effect was also completely ineffective—because Elena's current body was made from various rare materials from this world and the blood of evil gods, and her soul was also born in this world. She was a native resident recognized by the world and would not be expelled as an evil creature from another world.

Vincent's eyes were filled with despair.

Without hesitation, he turned and ran... Now it's not a question of whether his ambitions and plans can be realized; even survival may be just a pipe dream.

Of course, the evil goddess girl wouldn't let Vincent go.

She simply raised her left hand and made a grasping motion in the air, and Vincent, enveloped in magic, began to stand still in mid-air, unable to move an inch no matter what she did.

“I remember… um.”

The evil goddess girl stretched and yawned, her tone nonchalant:

"Your original plan was to use this body as a useful, unlimited energy source, right? Now, you can try being an energy source yourself... Of course, it's a one-time thing."

The loosely clenched hand clenched tightly.
