"The game... has only just begun..." The old man's voice was like wind wrapped in gravel, hoarse enough to send chills down one's spine.
As soon as he spoke, the air seemed to freeze, a strange, cold sensation shooting from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.
Before Xiao Meng could react, the Priestess Ancestor's Starlight Robe swished dramatically, transforming into a massive Judgment Platform in an instant!
The Judgment Platform shimmered with golden light, intricately carved with all sorts of bizarre symbols, resembling an epic piece of equipment from a game, dazzling enough to hurt one's eyes.
"What the hell! What's going on?!" Xiao Meng couldn't help but curse; the plot was taking an absurd turn!
The voice of the Priestess Ancestor was ethereal and solemn, echoing above the Judgment Platform like an ancient bell: "Ultimate Delivery requires the Sacrifice of the Covenant Maker's Starry Marriage Contract."
Huh?
Sacrifice?
Xiao Meng and Sunshine exchanged glances, feeling as if they were caught up in some sort of cult ritual, their hearts pounding anxiously.
At that moment, the Star Pattern Lock Core on Xiao Meng's chest and the Star Sand Baby on Sunshine began to attract each other like magnets, then... reassembled in reverse!
The scene was reminiscent of two nebulae colliding and merging in the universe—spectacular and breathtaking.
Starlight intertwined, flowing brilliantly in a riot of colors—vividly beautiful!
A warm current surged from Xiao Meng's heart throughout her body, so comfortable that she almost cried out.
Meanwhile, Shadow Azure was not to be outdone.
He manipulated the Star Sand Vortex, ravenously devouring the Hourglass Core, his demeanor akin to a famished ghost who had not eaten for three days staring at a lavish feast.
"The Time-Space Loop requires the annihilation of all Causal Linkers." Shadow Azure's voice was sharp and grating, laced with a chilling sense of triumph.
Annihilation?
This was no joke!
Xiao Meng's heart tightened; she sensed that something terrible was about to happen.
Gritting her teeth, she suddenly plunged Xing Wen into her own heart!
"What the hell! Xiao Meng, what are you doing?!" Sunshine exclaimed in shock; had this girl lost her mind?!
However, Xiao Meng paid no heed to Sunshine's cries.
As Xing Wen pierced her heart, a powerful force erupted from within her—it was the power of Three Lifetimes of Memories!
A glimmer of determination flashed in her eyes as the corners of her mouth curled into a strange smile. This self-destructive counterattack was nothing short of spectacular! But it wasn't over yet; something even more unexpected was about to unfold.
The form of Sunlight's Azure Priestess suddenly opened its mouth and began to sing an ethereal and sorrowful Stardust Lullaby. The melody felt like an ancient call, imbued with an indescribable magic that stirred the soul.
At that moment, the fragmented consciousness of Old Grandpa Plugin began to reorganize. His gaze cleared, no longer clouded as it had been before. "The true Lock Core of Miko Star Pattern is the creator's Three Lives Reforged..." The old man's voice was deep and powerful, carrying a wisdom that seemed to see through everything.
"Wait, creator? Three Lives Reforged? What on earth is this?!" Xiao Meng felt as if her mind was about to explode; the plot was becoming too convoluted!
Suddenly, the light on the Judgment Platform grew even more brilliant, and Three Hundred Mirrors descended from above, hovering in mid-air. The mirrors resembled divine artifacts, projecting the childhood memories of Black-hearted Grandpa in unison.
The images flickered erratically like an old film reel, crackling with static. A frail little boy curled up in a dark corner, trembling with fear. The terror in his eyes surged like a tide, suffocating those who beheld it.
It was not merely a memory; it felt more like a curse that permeated the air. Xiao Meng seemed to catch a whiff of mold and dust—the unique scent of forgotten corners from childhood that made her stomach churn.
Meanwhile, the Xing Wen on Xiao Meng's chest began to act wildly, splitting, reorganizing, and spreading until it transformed into a Miko Robe shimmering with Starshine. This Long Robe was as light as gossamer yet exuded an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it held the secrets of the universe.
It enveloped Xiao Meng's body like liquid, bringing an unprecedented sense of comfort, reminiscent of being cradled in her mother's embrace. She felt as if she had activated some hidden power within herself; energy coursed through her veins as a solemn voice echoed in her ears: "The Ultimate Form of the Twin Contract is the Timeless Anchor Point." This voice did not sound human but rather resembled some divine oracle, imbued with undeniable authority.
Suddenly, the energy from the hourglass erupted like a volcanic explosion, causing the entire world to tremble. Xiao Meng felt herself caught in a massive whirlpool of energy, her body spinning uncontrollably upward as if being drawn into another Dimension.
Blinding light pierced her vision, and her ears were filled with a cacophony of sounds—like a hundred ducks quarreling or a thousand bees buzzing. In that instant, Xiao Meng felt as though she had transcended time and space and glimpsed Sunshine itself.
He stood within the Starry Marriage Contract, a gentle smile gracing his lips, his eyes radiating warmth as if whispering eternal vows. That smile was as comforting as a spring breeze, dispelling all the fears and anxieties within Xiao Meng's heart. She felt like a speck of dust floating in the universe, finally finding her home.
However, the beautiful scene vanished in an instant. A piercing scream shattered the sky; it was the voice of the Priestess Ancestor, filled with despair and anguish, as if lamenting the injustice of fate. Following that, the sound of a baby's cry echoed, growing fainter until it abruptly ceased. It was the childhood of the Black-hearted Grandpa, forever sealed deep within memory.
This sudden shift caused Xiao Meng's heart to plummet, as if it had fallen into an abyss. "It's all over..." an aged voice whispered in her ear, tinged with a sense of relief and acceptance. "Not at all! The real show is just beginning!" another youthful voice retorted, laced with mischief and challenge.
