Chapter 435: The Final Act (Part 2)
The Abyss.
In a pitch-black world, many souls wailed in fear, struggling incessantly but ultimately in vain.
They were sucked into pale giant hands one by one, gradually merging into the fierce pupils within the arms, completely transforming into nourishment and sustenance for the Hundred-Armed Giant.
“Oh no! Oh no!”
Suddenly, angry and resentful voices echoed throughout the area. The descendants of the Doomsday Race within thousands of miles all fell to their knees, their hearts filled with fear.
“Nullify” trembled in the center of darkness, writhing in pain!
It suffered a very serious injury, even though at that time it hadn’t completely reached Noah. But it still solidly took a blow from the attack of the Savior of Babel Tower.
This blow reached directly into the depths of its soul, almost completely erasing it.
If it weren’t for the gift of power bestowed by the Black Abyss Deep Sea, “Nullify” would likely have vanished into nothingness!
But even so, it suffered a heavy blow.
The level of damage inflicted on its soul was enough to take “Nullify” several hundred years to recover from.
Its anger, pain, and extreme fear were unmatched.
The grand plan to unleash the mighty Black Abyss Deep Sea had failed…
Next time, who knows when it will come.
Even if there is another chance, Nullify has always been cautious, never daring to provoke Noah’s world even the slightest bit, fearing to be caught by the Savior of Babel Tower.
Of course, even so, it remained extremely angry!
“The Savior of Babel Tower!”
“One day, at last…”
“I will tear you apart! I will kill you! I will devour you!”
The furious voice roared like mighty waves, causing ripples in the dark clouds. Countless members of the Doomsday Race trembled in fear, unable to resist the urge to kneel down in worship.
Tatsumi City.
Herendor.
The university campus began classes once again, but it didn’t regain its former tranquility.
The World underwent great changes, and people’s hearts were restless.
The teacher’s office.
The door opened, and all the teachers in the office stood up simultaneously, with complex expressions, and looked towards the new teacher.
That was an old man who called himself “Professor Dong”. He had snowy white hair, was tall and thin, and had an exceptionally elegant and outstanding temperament. When he entered the office, he seemed to stand out from the crowd like a crane among chickens.
The teachers looked at me, I looked at them, and we didn’t know how to communicate with the new old man.
The chubby principal was the first to stand up, his face full of sweat. He bravely walked over to the old man and shook his hand.
“Hello, hello! I am Professor Smith, the head of the management department at Herendor. You must be Professor Dong from the Demon Hunt Agency, right? Welcome to Herendor University! From now on, we shall be colleagues.”
“Hello everyone.”
Professor Dong narrowed his eyes and nodded gently.
However, he didn’t shake hands with the chubby director, which made the other person feel a little embarrassed.
Professor Dong spoke slowly, “I’m sorry, but I’m not used to letting other people touch me… You can just think of it as a psychological issue that extraordinary people have… Just like you guys guessed, the psychology of extraordinary people is actually not quite normal.”
The chubby director became even more embarrassed.
Professor Dong continued, “Next, I will be teaching at Herendor University, taking on the role of a teacher for the one-year course on ‘Building the Psychology of the Extraordinary World’ and ‘Understanding Extraordinary Powers’. I kindly ask for everyone’s guidance and support.”
These two courses, as the names suggest, teach students how to enhance their psychological development in the face of world-changing events. The first course focuses on strengthening their mental resilience, while the second course aims to popularize knowledge about extraordinary powers.
After the Doomsday Crisis, the announcement regarding the full-scale promotion of “Extraordinary Powers Education” among the people of Tatsumi City had already been issued, but it wasn’t until now that it officially commenced.
“Sure, no problem. We will definitely cooperate with you fully, so please don’t worry.”
Principal Plump chuckled, nodding repeatedly, although deep inside, he felt very unsettled.
Not only him, but also the university professors present were ordinary people. They were faced with the sudden appearance of a mysterious extraordinary being, and anyone would feel unsettled and… curious.
“I actually arrived here, huh.”
In the library, Bai Yan sat by the window with a smile on his face, calmly playing with his phone.
Using Maryse’s incredible power of mind, she could perceive every single thing that had just happened in the office, as well as everyone’s thoughts.
Bai Yan muttered to himself, “I haven’t drawn you yet, Truth Scholar… But it doesn’t really matter, I don’t need any more magic spellcasters right now.”
Once again, I returned to the library.
Bai Yan felt a sense of familiarity.
This is where everything began.
The younger students were scattered around the library, quietly reading books. No one knew that among them was a handsome young man, who was actually Tatsumi City, no, the Savior of Noah.
The Savior of the Babel Tower.
As the people who came to study decreased noticeably, Bai Yan quickly noticed this and soon realized why.
Because, the order of the World underwent a drastic change, becoming more and more chaotic.
When the future of learning became uncertain, there wouldn’t be as many people who enjoyed studying anymore.
After news of one of the Rainbows betraying spread, it caused a massive social response.
In the Doomsday Crisis, the betrayal of the Rainbows and the successive turmoil of order ignited a deep unease within people’s hearts. Certain cities outside of Tatsumi City have already plunged into immense chaos.
The Imperial Guards and Night Watchers were both actively busy.
Many people have already started to believe that Noah’s world will be destroyed one day!
That was such a pointless job, such a useless school!
Of course, there were some people who believed, especially the people of Tatsumi City… There were those who believed that a great deity, not just anyone, could help Noah’s people overcome their challenges.
“Classmate, if you’re interested, you can find out about this.”
Just then, a young girl approached him, holding a stack of flyers, her face beaming with kindness, and spoke softly.
She handed him a flyer.
Bai Yan recognized her as his junior in college, and he was also well aware of what the flyer she handed out was about.
Unable to suppress a laugh, he smiled.
The flyer was promoting “Salvation Help,” a student organization that had appeared after the Doomsday Crisis. This group was present in nearly every university across Tatsumi City.
Initially, it had only hundreds of members, but in recent days, following the revelation of the Savior’s miracles, its popularity skyrocketed, and now thousands of people had joined.
The goal of the “Salvation Help” group was straightforward: to place unwavering belief in the great Savior of Babel Tower, aid its members no matter the cost, and assist themselves during times of unrest.
The group’s leaders were eager to establish connections with the Babel Tower members, aiming to become an official subsidiary of the Tower. They had even figured out a way to submit a request to the Demon Hunt Agency.
That sounds intriguing, Bai Yan thought.
However, Bai Yan was not particularly interested in such matters. Most of the “Salvation Help” members were ordinary people, with only a few exceptional individuals, most of whom were merely “awakened.”
It was all insignificant to him.
“Sorry, I’m not interested,” Bai Yan said with a gentle smile, handing the brochure back. But the girl simply sneered and tossed the brochure onto the ground. She walked off without a word.
Bai Yan, who could read minds, knew that she was insulting him internally.
He smiled, shook his head, and with a subtle thought, the girl suddenly looked confused, returned to pick up the brochure, and then quickly walked away again.
In the next instant, Bai Yan vanished.
When he reappeared, he was already at Sylve’s house.
The girl greeted him with a smile.
“Sylve…”
Bai Yan had been staying at Sylve and her mother Helen’s house for a few days. As he greeted Sylve, he reflected on recent events.
Despite thorough efforts, no one had been able to locate the exact “key.”
All the souls on the list had been searched through.
But there were no results.
Bai Yan and Mr. Xia concluded that the list was inaccurate… Perhaps it was just a deception by the Steel Throne.
What a waste.
Fortunately, there was still a positive outcome…
“Wait a second!”
Bai Yan’s eyes widened, a realization dawning on him.
“Sylve, I’ll be back shortly, and we can have dinner together later.”
And with that, he disappeared again.
“Hello!”
Sylve pouted.
Bai Yan materialized in Professor Dong’s office at Herendor University. This time, he stood silently beside Professor Dong, who remained unaware of his presence.
Bai Yan understood that the Truth Scholar was a very unique existence.
“Perhaps it works like this: the fluctuation of a soul undergoes four different frequency shifts. That means… maybe the real ‘key’ lies in the memories of one of the three personas of the Truth Scholar—Spring (Chun), Summer (Xia), or Autumn (Qiu), but not Winter (Dong).”
That was why they hadn’t found it!
Bai Yan realized that even though he had examined Professor Dong’s Winter persona, the other three had not been fully explored!
Missed opportunity!
Professor Dong remained entirely unaware of Bai Yan’s arrival, as the power disparity between them was enormous.
Bai Yan calmly walked over, extended his hand, and activated the “Connection” power.
He muttered, “Even if I’m wrong, it’s just a wasted trip. It’s no big deal.”
Of course, Bai Yan hoped his hunch was right.
Finally, his eyes lit up.
He had figured it out!
The true answer lay in the memories of the “Spring” persona!
A fragment of the soul of a former Truth Scholar had belonged to the daughter of the hero “Black Hawk,” who had once sealed the Black Abyss Deep Sea.
That fragment of the soul was now the essence of the “Spring” persona.
Later, through a rare convergence of four souls, they merged into the present-day “Truth Scholar.”
Bai Yan closed his eyes and began to absorb this ancient memory.
This event took place tens of thousands of years ago.
Long ago, as the Black Abyss Deep Sea drew near, a hero named Black Hawk willingly sacrificed his soul to perform a sealing ritual that would last for countless years within the World of Noah.
When the Black Abyss Deep Sea descended, darkness and fear overwhelmed the world, leaving only that. Black Hawk embraced his daughter and initiated the sealing process.
Across vast stretches of time and space, Bai Yan felt the impact of the seal!
First, he experienced pure darkness, stretching infinitely.
Silence pervaded.
It felt as if it were the universe itself.
Time passed, and suddenly, the scene before him changed dramatically.
There was no sound, but the pitch blackness faded. Colorful, radiant lights appeared before him, rising slowly. They resembled silent fireworks, starting small in the dark and gradually expanding into brilliant displays.
Within the darkness, countless fireworks blossomed. Amid these eruptions, a small white dot appeared. Initially tiny, it grew larger over time, as surrounding lights expanded with it.
The dazzling, colorful spectacle resembled a kaleidoscope, endlessly shifting in quiet motion.
Eventually, beams of vibrant light filled the entire space. The once-dark field was now illuminated by shimmering colors.
“I understand…”
Bai Yan suddenly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and snapped back to reality. Slowly, everything began to make sense.
“Oh, I see now! The true name of the Black Eagle Seal is… the Seal of Reversal.”
The Seal of Reversal does not exist in the real world or even within any familiar dimension, but rather it resides in the crevices between dimensions in Tatsumi City.
If one hasn’t already identified it, even a god could not locate it.
But Bai Yan, guided by ancient memories, immediately found the Seal of Reversal.
The power within this seal made even Bai Yan feel a shudder of fear.
“The Seal of Reversal is a ‘Ruin-level Relic’ tied to the Outer God ‘Master of Ceremony.’ When activated, it is powerful enough to seal an Outer God. This power does not depend on the strength of the one activating it, but on the strength of the one being sealed.”
Bai Yan muttered under his breath.
“The Seal of Reversal is both a relic and a ritual,” said the storyteller.
A relic is never just a simple object.
Magic is unique to Noah, but rituals are the most common form of extraordinary power across the multiverse.
Perhaps, the Seal of Reversal is the most powerful seal in the multiverse and the most potent ritual as well!
