61: Fate crosses, we will meet again
“Life Alchemy • Fallen God (Red)”
After three cycles of reincarnation, you have finally memorized the operation and changes of all things.
Using Hellfire, you can break the boundary between people and objects, achieving arbitrary transformations.
However, the prerequisite is that you need to use your own life force as a guide.
“Demon Contract • Fallen God (Gold):”
You have signed a pact with the Fallen God, transferring mental pain to your body in exchange for eternal sanity.
You possess the innate constitution of a Fallen God Master, always remaining clear-headed in extreme pain.
In the Fallen Arcanist state, your sanity is constantly tempered, and your progress is rapid.
“Hell Messenger • Fallen God (Gold):”
You have returned from Hell, destined to stir up trouble and harm the world.
You carry a demon suppression stone, acting as you please, unrestrained.
Rules? Aren't rules meant to be broken!
“Failed Man • Fallen God (White):”
The original entry seems to have undergone some strange transformation.
With this entry, your luck is incredibly bad.
Especially when performing Levitation, please be extra careful and make sure not to crash.
There seemed to be no other choice.
Possessing the first three entries and becoming a Fallen Arcanist was Meng Yun's only way out in this simulation.
Whether he could slay the demon seed or save Vivian, it all depended on this time.
The last time.
“I choose Life Alchemy, Demon Contract, and Hell Messenger,” Meng Yun said in a deep voice.
No one, not even a dog, would choose the Failed Man.
“Mysterious Foundation and Arcane World located, anchor points of all beings confirmed, simulation countdown begins.”
“Three.”
“Two.”
“One.”
“This is the last simulation, please cherish it, Host…”
His consciousness once again left his body, instantly piercing through countless universes, locking onto the anchor point in that drop in the ocean, and his consciousness plummeted.
Meng Yun shook his head and opened his eyes.
He was about to perform Alchemy to unlock his handcuffs and relax, but he suddenly realized his legs were running frantically.
?
What's going on?
“Stop, you little thief!”
“Catch him!”
Seventy miles an hour, his mood was an expletive.
Good news: Meng Yun's simulation seemed to have started earlier this time.
Bad news: He was about to be caught by the soldiers.
Meng Yun ran breathlessly, not having time to lament how weak this body was, and casually threw the stolen food into an alley in the slum.
Maybe it could help the poor have a full meal.
Running wildly and escaping, he stumbled into a dead end.
Four soldiers chased after him, panting, two with batons in their hands at the front, and two with wooden spears at the back.
“Kid… you run, why don't you run again?”
“Stop talking nonsense with him, let's beat him up first to vent our anger, I'm exhausted…”
Meng Yun looked at the four slowly approaching figures, his hand unconsciously pressing against the dirt wall.
“Can you four big brothers be a little lenient?”
“Lenient?”
A soldier sneered, “There's a strict crackdown recently!”
So there was no room for discussion.
Meng Yun suddenly fell backward, and the seemingly solid dirt wall rippled like water.
In the blink of an eye, Meng Yun's figure had disappeared.
Bang! Bang!
Two bullets arrived late, but they only embedded themselves in the dirt wall, stirring up layers of dust.
The four looked at each other:
What the hell is this??
“Search quickly!”
Behind the dirt wall was a overgrown flower bed.
Beyond the flower bed was a wide, noisy street.
Meng Yun stood up, seeing stars; not yet having started his Arcane training, he had immediately used Alchemy on a large dirt wall, which indeed made him a bit overwhelmed.
Fortunately, the results were gratifying; after some effort, this time he finally didn't have to go to the Judgment Prison, wasting a lot of time escaping.
The sky is vast for birds to fly!
Meng Yun's mind moved, and a black demon suppression stone shaped like a meteorite emerged from his chest, floating gently in front of him.
He could feel a nearly inexhaustible, high-level power from it.
This power could effectively help him break through the world rules set by the demon seed, and also help him accelerate his Arcane learning progress.
After observing for a moment, he put the demon suppression stone back into his body, Meng Yun looked around, and set off again.
...
Vivian sat on a bench by the small river, a donut, bitten only once, rolled from her hand as the girl was sound asleep, escaping into the river to feed the fish.
Tears slipped from the corner of her eyes, and the girl opened them.
Looking at the fiery red clouds in the sky, Vivian felt as if a lifetime had passed.
The warmth was the afterglow of the sunset, not her brother's embrace.
The coolness was the gentle evening breeze, not the feeling of dying.
A dream, it was another dream.
One dream after another.
This made Vivian gradually unable to distinguish between virtual and reality.
Brother, Meng Yun, sister, Layla?
Were they all real?
Would a containment object also receive affection?
That was probably just a dream.
After all, Vivian, who had secretly snuck out to play, had not yet been caught and taken back.
The dream that started in the Judgment Prison, everything was unverifiable.
A vast emptiness and loss gradually enveloped the girl.
She unconsciously raised her hand and wiped the corner of her eye with her finger.
It felt a little rough.
Vivian opened her palm and looked carefully.
On her right middle finger, there was clearly a ring.
It was a mind controller, personally placed on her by her brother.
She was Vivian.
Vivian, who was taken.
Vivian, who belonged only to her brother.
Then all of that was not a dream, but reincarnation.
In the dark, Vivian had a premonition that even if she allowed the soldiers to take her back to the Judgment Prison, her brother would not appear from there again.
It was very likely that this was the final reincarnation.
She reached out to touch the mithril ring around her neck that suppressed her cursed power, slowly raised her head, and her gaze gradually became firm.
“Brother, no matter where you are, Vivian will find you.”
An invisible storm gathered around her, and the girl instantly soared into the sky.
No one knew where she would go.
But she would definitely lie low and diligently accumulate strength.
Meng Yun looked up at the fleeting light in the sky, clicking his tongue in wonder:
“There's a shooting star, I should make a wish.”
What wish should he make?
Just wish Vivian peace and safety.
After all, he planned to develop alone, without his company, he hoped Vivian would have everything go smoothly.
“You believe that the enemy in this life will further heighten their vigilance, so you must lie low and be careful before your wings are fully grown.”
“You made a wish to the shooting star in the sky, then left without looking back.
You plan to find a small border town to quickly improve your strength.”
“You walked west, with your back to the direction the shooting star had flown, constantly tempering your sanity and cultivating your Arcane level with the power of the demon suppression stone.”
“You rediscovered your grilling skills and found that wild game grilled with Arcane flames was crispier outside and tenderer inside than with firewood.”
“Half a month later, you arrived at a small city named Newt, and you were also able to cast a second-level Arcane spell, becoming a qualified Arcane apprentice.”
“You decided to rest in the city, inquire about the current situation, and make further plans.”
Meng Yun stepped into the city, along the way were chaotic street vendors hawking goods from all corners of the world.
If you asked who was the most well-informed, it would probably be this group of people.
“The Foundation Satellite City's Old Bird's Bar has a new batch of hot stuff!”
“How hot?”
“It seems there are many Anti-Resistance Army and Arcane Association girls, I don't know what's going on…”
“Speaking of the Anti-Resistance Army, have you heard? That elf Layla, she defected…”
Meng Yun remained expressionless, pretending to browse for a while, then turned and walked forward.
It seemed that in this simulation, all parties were accelerating their actions, with swords drawn.
He naturally couldn't fall behind.
“Stop, I think I've seen you somewhere?”
Behind him, a merchant with suspicion on his face grabbed Meng Yun's arm.
