Chapter 548: The Final Babel Tower Meeting
A new Babel Tower meeting is taking place.
This time, the venue of the meeting was completely different from every past one.
It was neither the Sky Temple, nor the Crystal Palace, nor a castle under the starry sky.
The crowd stood above the clouds.
Under their feet was the ever-moving Noah, and as they looked down upon the land, they could easily see everything in World.
The members of the Babel Tower could see mountains and rivers, as well as the countless buildings in the city.
Maryse thought that this meeting could be called the "Hall of the Sky Clan"… The corresponding structure, of course, was that of the "Water Clan’s Aquarium".
Inside the Babel Tower, they traveled thousands of miles with divine speed, marveling at everything in Noah’s world.
The city where Noah lived, the wilderness where the sinners dwelled, and many desolate places where no one lived.
Formed the entire world.
Even though everything will eventually fade away like the wind, at least in this moment, the warriors of the Babel Tower are still fighting for the land beneath their feet.
And they believed that it was meaningful.
The golden World Tree rose high above Tatsumi City, its pinnacle towering even higher than the elusive Golden Palace, which seemed to appear and disappear among the clouds.
It stood tall, reaching into the clouds.
The branches of the World Tree shimmered with a white glow, and whenever the members of Babel Tower wished to travel to the otherworld, the World Tree would burst forth with a blinding light.
Its energy would bridge the boundaries between worlds.
Bai Yan sat at the highest spot.
Observe everything.
The members of Babel Tower gathered together.
They had become quite familiar with each other, and the atmosphere of this meeting was more relaxed than usual. The whole team had unprecedented confidence in the future.
One man among the group stood up and approached Alan.
Alan also spoke up, saying, "Thank you very much, Alan, for coming to my wedding with your wife. By the way, my sister really likes the gift your wife brought."
"This is the right thing to do," said Alan with a smile.
He got married two months ago.
The man paused for a moment and then said, "I haven’t let go."
Standing next to Alan was a man, and it was none other than Ganis, the Fist of Duel.
At this moment, wearing the attire of Tatsumi City, he gazed into Alan’s eyes and spoke earnestly:
"In the past few years, my friends and I have experienced a lot of pain, cruelty, and injustice that we can never forget… Even now, I still hold a grudge against the people of Noah."
"The Persecuted were the original inhabitants of this world, when suddenly the people of Noah arrived with a Rainbow, taking over the entire world. The sorrowful Dark Light condemned us as sinners…"
Ganis paused for a moment and said, "But my hatred towards the people of Noah is not because of my ancestors."
"The Persecuted are a branch of the Doomsday Race, my ancestors who once worshipped the Outer God in madness. They used dark rituals as the foundation of their power and destroyed other civilizations, often sacrificing human lives and blood… Perhaps, they were always destined to invite destruction."
Alan remained silent, simply watching his friend quietly.
"I simply couldn’t let go of my anger because of the pain suffered by my loved ones."
"But…"
"No matter what, I can’t gather the oppressed for revenge… Not because of the restrictions of the Savior… But because I have a friend who is a Noah."
"I will never forget hatred, but I could never abandon friendship."
Ganis took a deep breath.
He didn’t betray his own people, and he won’t now, nor in the future.
However, Ganis would never betray the Babel Tower and the Savior.
"How did you become so eloquent?"
Alan couldn’t help himself and mumbled, to which Ganis burst into laughter and nodded, saying, "Actually, when I first arrived here, I was suddenly taken aback by a group of Noah’s people."
"But now, I have really changed too much, just like you said."
"Now I still feel anger, but I am no longer afraid."
After the Second Doomsday Crisis, Noah’s various countries and major cities had willingly or forcibly undergone tremendous reforms.
Slavery, hierarchical systems… and various unjust systems were all forcefully abolished, one by one.
The sinners, or rather the persecuted, now had the right to enter the city, but their animosity towards the people of Noah was clearly not easily extinguished.
Noah’s people still despised them, and so did the persecuted.
But the persecuted had almost become fervent disciples of the Babel Tower’s Saviors.
They had come to fully believe that the Babel Tower’s Savior, the great being prophesied to save them, had arrived.
Ganis deeply felt the divide between the persecuted and the people of Noah. He wished to create a city exclusively for the persecuted, just as prophesied, instead of forcing his people to assimilate into the dominant circle of Noah’s people.
In regards to these details, Bai Yan didn’t interfere or intervene too much.
Recently, all the things he had to do were important things that would change World and save World. He had no energy left to deal with the small things.
And with so many loyal and capable subordinates, he naturally didn’t need to worry about the smallest details.
Bai Yan would occasionally go to the Babel Tower to catch a glimpse of the girl imprisoned within the power of the night… the Crimson Sovereign.
She was constantly being drained of power, tortured by the red mist, and seeking redemption for the crimes she had committed, all in a conscious state.
Sometimes, Bai Yan would personally take action to resolve certain extraordinary crimes in Noah’s world, but those were all chance encounters.
Most of the time, the Babel Tower, which could practically run on its own, would directly dispatch its chosen members to solve problems at specific locations.
Everything was moving in a positive direction.
At this moment.
Bai Yan observed the crowd and finally expressed his true feelings.
["Everyone, you are members of the Babel Tower."]
People standing around stopped talking and simultaneously looked up towards the Savior of the Babel Tower, high above.
In their eyes, there was admiration, trust, and awe.
Not just Mu Ling, but nearly all the members of the Babel Tower believed in the Savior of the Babel Tower, considering Him the true Savior.
The witch smiled.
"The Savior," Bai Yan continued.
[You are the Saviors of World, all possessing the potential to save World.]
["The Babel Tower is not only mine, but also yours," he said.]
[This world will ultimately be saved by you, and everything will thereby change.]
[You have entered a new world, where you can personally make it better and bring balance to World…Please make everything become more beautiful.]
—
Tatsumi City.
The city had been living for many years.
Bai Yan stood on the rooftop, calmly looking up at the night sky, with the dazzling city lights shining beneath his feet.
The people in this city admire themselves.
Admiring, the Savior stood high above.
The deity who would save them, save World.
In the tall Babel Tower, the people admired themselves.
Admiring, the mysterious and enigmatic Savior.
The great being who would grant strength, grant hope.
"The people from all over World admired me!"
He wanted to shout loudly, but was afraid of being heard by the Goddess of the Night.
A year ago, Bai Yan could never have imagined his current situation. Life is unpredictable.
"The game has reached its later stages, nearing its final conclusion…"
He took a deep breath and sat down on the rooftop.
Mu Ling appeared by his side, though he didn’t know when.
She spoke softly, "I feel that you are weary, lonely, and even… a little afraid."
It is nighttime now.
The Goddess of the Night possesses powerful divine abilities, and her perception can expand through the night sky to any location in Noah’s world.
She stood to the side, her voice gentle.
"What on earth happened?"
Bai Yan smiled and said, "You have no psychic powers at all, yet you are imitating Maryse. Do you think you know me very well?"
"Mu Ling, have you ever thought about whether you truly understand who is the Savior of the Babel Tower?"
Mu Ling sat down beside him and said calmly, "If it takes extraordinary power to understand you, then what qualifications do I have to stand by your side?"
Bai Yan blinked in surprise.
Mu Ling continued, "You are truly great. You have given me everything, you have given me today, you have given me the future. I am always grateful to you, no matter when."
"This feeling is suppressed."
"I tried my best to share the responsibility with you. I used to think that you were beyond my reach, but now I feel… perhaps I can really sit here."
She hoped to be the sharp edge of the Savior, and even more than that.
Bai Yan’s heart trembled delicately.
"Mu Ling, it’s time."
"What?"
Mu Ling felt puzzled and confused.
"It is tonight…"
"But there should still be enough time, in the end, I will tell you some very important things."
Bai Yan turned his head, looking at the girl who was willing to give everything for him.
He couldn’t help but feel his heart surging with excitement.
There are many important people in one’s destiny, but no matter what, she was definitely the most special one.
From the beginning, until the end.
The things we shared together…
More than what fate had determined.
