XXIV. Tracing the Soul
The entire Epoch Empire has become a deep hell, full of gruesome signs, and living conditions are harsh, but at least the creatures don't become a blur of flesh and blood.
Suddenly, the earth trembled, the wind howled, the tremendous energy caused the light to flicker, the houses crumbled into rubble, and the humans were swallowed by the cracks, and only the strongest structures survived.
"He's angry, he's struggling," Lucifer said. β
Abbaden used his magical power to create a huge and impregnable shelter, and the fish of Belel filled the cracks in the earth, and after a few hours of remediation, the earthquake stopped, and the capital of the Epoch Empire fell into chaos, but finally escaped.
The Mad Web detected that the Sun King was asleep.
We looked up to the sky and saw an eerie sun, a strange purple color, and the sunlight bent like an octopus's tentacles.
The Ember Warden has once again activated the Shield of Hell, this time stronger than the last, and it nearly shields out the sun.
I said, "Xitai will not give up. β
Lucifer: "As the Creator, he has eternal time, infinite power, and under his assault, this shield will one day disappear." β
Me: "Xitai must be stripped of his divine power before the Creator discovers the Ember Warden." β
Lucifer: "Do you know what to do?" β
Yes, I know.
I have to experience something similar to Xitai, to feel a similar soul, but I have to experience it as well.
I said to Cain, "Brother, please convert me into a Bloodline." β
Cain said, "If you have ever fallen into a curse, know that it is sad." β
I said, "Yes, but I still insist that you do it." β
The first and strongest blood in history, with pity in his eyes, bit me on the neck, almost drained my blood, and then gave me half of his blood.
I had a headache, a pain, a cold, and a weakness, but I survived, and when I was resurrected, I felt unusually close to the forces of darkness.
Then I said to Abel, "Brother, let the world-devouring serpent devour me." β
Abel: "Do you understand what you're doing?" I'm not sure about that. β
I said, "Yes, but I still insist that you do it." β
Able summoned the huge black serpent, which immediately went out of control and swallowed me inside.
I was corrupted, invaded, transformed, and restored by the Shadows, and finally, with the help of the Broken Winged Crane, I fought back against the World-Swallowing Serpent.
I said to Helsing, "If you can open the passage of time, I can send my soul back to a time in the past, and at that time, stop Xitai. β
"Do you know what you're thinking? Even I, even the embodiment of Dagon, can only travel for a short time, no more than ten seconds before and after, otherwise, the soul will disappear completely. β
"I can do it, Xitai has done it, I need your ability, but all you provide is the vehicle, and the driver and route guide are me."
Lucifer asked, "Why do you have the confidence to do this?" β
I replied, "It's the mad web, and Mokawi has left a clue in the mad web, and only I can follow it." β
"But how could he choose you?"
I shook my head, "I don't know, maybe Mokawi himself doesn't know. β
There is only one chance, and I can't cross over and over again like Xi Tai, even Xi Tai himself, who has studied countless souls and spent endless hours of time, and must do this in a limited number of times.
And Mokkawi has tried many times, and I only have one chance left.
The only chance to counter Xitai.
Helsing summoned a transparent field, the field of time, in which he himself could only walk forward or backward for ten seconds.
Cain said, "Be careful, Seth, and hope your plan will succeed." β
Abel said, "I know you can't die, just like me." β
I hugged Cain and Abel, but probably for too long, and five minutes later, he threw me into that time field.
In the rushing river of time, I saw an ominous storm.
I am the missing Ali Maher, the greatest prophet of angels, and I foresaw the coming of the calamity and told Lucifer.
Moqavi was once an angel with a soul possessed by humans, and he was Ali Maher.
The river of time surged forward, and I followed it, plunging into a vortex of endless grandeur. My tormented, mad soul is at risk of being torn apart in this maelstrom, I have seen endless murder and infinite chaos, and I have committed horrible sins and fallen into the endless abyss.
Ali Maher, Mokawi, Seth.
Ali Maher was originally reincarnated as Seth.
Perhaps because of the vortex of chaos, he was ignorant and lost all vision and power. He was only a human being, a long-lived human being, the third son of Adam and Eve, and a compensation given to mankind by the Creator.
And what about Kaveh? Where did Mokawi come from?
....
The time I choseβthe time Mokkawi chose, on the eve of Seth's death, the day he killed his thirteen daughters.
Set trudged through the dark continent, blood on his every step, and the trees in front of him were like demons.
Everything whispered to him, telling him that evil was going on here, that humanity had been transformed by demons into bloodthirsty and cruel creatures.
But this time, Seth saw through the illusion, it was normal here, there were no demons, no creatures, it was just a bunch of weird-looking humans.
They worship Lilith - the Blood Witch who has worked wonders on the continent with her daughters.
Seth - I was badly injured, and it was the result of a rash challenge to Lilith, but I still went to her, and I had to tell her something.
Cain is coming.
As I stood in front of Lilith's hut, the Blood Witch suddenly appeared, her daughter emerging from the bloody earth, her blood was terrifyingly thick, and their blood-red eyes were watching me.
The daughters know I'm their father, but they don't care. In their minds, I am a vulgar and eventful mortal, and I am a parasite who restricts them from enjoying Lilith's care here.
These are my daughters, Seth's daughters, who have enjoyed my care, who have grown up under my protection, who have forgotten their affections, and who care only about their own joys.
I understand that this is not evil, but the norm, and that doesn't mean that they have gone into the wrong way.
It's very simple, I'm just confused.
Lilith, the goddess of blood, with a mist of blood around her, walked up to me, her charming smile terrifying.
She said, "Ah, homeless man, you still have the scars on your body that I have given you, and you are dying, almost in the dust, alone, miserable, why do you dare to appear before me?" β
I said, "Cain is coming." β
Lilith: "Cain? This ungrateful brute! When he was displaced, and the six gods were left without a master, it was I who found him and taught him the magic of being unparalleled in the world. When he was lonely and smuggling, I took him in, warmed him with my feelings, and gave him a new lease of life. But it was this brute who struck me so hard that he sucked my blood and broke my heart. He still has the audacity to come to me? β
I told her, "Yes, and this time, he's coming to kill you." β
