When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 699: Chapter 87 Selene and Hebashia_2 Chapter 699: Chapter 87 Selene and Hebashia_2 As an Eternal Self and still a mortal, he had been acquainted with her, a seasoned strong one.

Hebashia spoke of the hidden knowledge unknown to others, “This is one of the false names I used when I was still a mortal as the Eternal Self.

Generally, the names of the Pillar Gods during their mortality are taboo, hidden as knowledge that has been destroyed.

Just like the name of Supreme Heaven, even though It has fallen, Its name has also been concealed…

but there are exceptions.”

“If a Pillar God has split their self upon ascension, then the other self that was split off is no longer a secret.

And this is related to the secret of ‘Cicada Slough.’

“Among the current Nine Pillar Gods, four have split their selves.

The Eternal Self is one of them.

Selene is one of the names she abandoned, also the name of the Moon Witch who used the technique of Moonlight to create Phantom Demons.

You’re using the techniques abandoned by the Eternal Self, along with the name she abandoned…

It fits perfectly, doesn’t it?”

A hint of expectation seemed to glimmer in Hebashia’s eyes.

“…That is correct,”

After hesitating, Lily looked at Aiwass.

After he nodded, she firmly nodded as well.

As one on the Path of Adaptation, her instincts rejected such potentially dangerous acts without knowing the consequences, but as one on the Path of Love, she felt an attraction — no matter which Lily, she craved strength, craved to be “useful,” and craved a meaning for survival.

However, the Lily of the Path of Adaptation could adapt to others, which was her nature; the Lily of the Path of Love, however, could not suppress her own desires.

Now, as Lily relaxed her control over her other self, she gave her heartfelt agreement and longing.

— She was yearning for strength.

Lily was always silent, precisely because she was caught in this constant self-negating strife within.

This manual offered her a form of liberation.

“Selene, huh…”

Aiwass murmured to himself.

He felt again the divergence of world lines.

The lost legacy and names of the Eternal Self were being reclaimed — the original Lily never lived to this time, and he had never heard the former names of the Eternal Self.

But he did recall the “Egg Moon Manual.”

For players, it was an underground ability.

Its effect was to grant three synergistic summons to the Path of Love and an invisibility ability to the Path of Adaptation.

— But the problem was that the Path of Love did not lack these three summons, and the Path of Adaptation certainly did n0t lack invisibility.

And as a dual-path manual, it would occupy a precious Mystical Skills slot in each path.

However, now it seemed that what the players got was a weakened version…

at least they certainly did not have the ability to split into two selves.

If one could split in two in reality…

whether it was one soul in two bodies or a complete separation, it would certainly be useful.

Another person who could completely understand and trust each other, and whose abilities were clearly different, could in some sense even be regarded as the closest friend.

“Your thoughtful assistance to us…”

Sherlock realized something and asked with some vigilance, “Is there something…

you need our help with?”

He clearly felt Hebashia’s benevolence.

In his opinion, “benevolence” could not arise from nothing.

Especially unsolicited benevolence towards strangers.

Whether explaining the origins of Fools’ Chants Manual or helping Lily to choose “Selene,” a name with power, both were clearly favors outside of the transaction.

Aiwass reacted as well, turning back to remind her, “Ms.

Hebashia…

I did pay, you know.”

What he implied was, don’t give me troublesome tasks like running errands across countries.

How smart was Hebashia, she immediately guessed what Aiwass was really worried about: “It’s a very simple matter, it won’t be too much trouble…”

Speaking of which, she took out a box.

Upon opening the box, she found a pure white wand with a jingling bell.

This was indeed different from what Aiwass had expected—he would have thought it to be a dagger, but surprisingly, it turned out to be a weapon used by witches.@@novelbin@@

“This is something the Eternal Self once used, it’s the finest piece in my collection.”

Hebashia said, and the little girl gazed eagerly at Aiwass, “It won’t trouble you too much, it can be completed within the Holy Nation.

Plus, it’s not something that needs to be done right away—I’ll help handle the trivial matters beforehand, it’s probably going to be a month or two later.

Can you at least listen to it first?”

“…Please go ahead,”

Aiwass was somewhat helpless, “I also can’t guarantee that we can take it on, or rather, we may not be able to do it immediately…

After all, there are quite a few troubles on this side of the Holy Nation.”

Hebashia’s attitude made it really difficult for Aiwass to give her a firm refusal.

He had roughly guessed what Hebashia wanted them to do.

For now, he refused the most troublesome part—running errands across nations had already severely hindered Aiwass’s own time, but if it was only within the Holy Nation…

Aiwass began to waver.

None of the things he took from Hebashia this time were for his own use; and if he could help Hebashia in this situation, it could also be considered as a practice of the Path of Devotion.

“…With your strength, what is it that you can’t do yourself?”

Sherlock was much more cautious than Aiwass.

He made this point directly, not to cause trouble for Aiwass but out of worry that Aiwass might be unwittingly calculated by others.

If it was really dangerous and also troublesome, then he would have to find a way to help Aiwass decline it.

“Because this matter is really troublesome for me, but it will be much simpler for you.”

Hebashia answered without hesitation, “You just need to go to the Dream Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Sherlock’s face immediately turned to one of horror.

Every Transcendent knew that the Dream Realm was a place people of the Material Realm could only visit after death—in other words, it sounded almost like “I want to ask you to take a trip to hell.”

“I will first find a way to help you search for the ability to briefly act in the Dream Realm!”

Before Sherlock could refuse, Hebashia promptly explained, “I know of a magic potion formula…

it’s the original form of the Dream Intoxicant, the Dream Intoxicant before it was disenchanted by the alchemists.

It allows the souls of the living to move around freely and with clarity in the Dream Realm.

“Now as a reincarnated Angel Envoy, I cannot return to the Dream Realm.

But I have something important that I’ve left there, and I would like you to help me bring it back.”

“…Exactly what is it that is so troublesome to retrieve?”

Sherlock frowned, “With so many items in your collection, asking someone else…

even asking an Angel Envoy to deliver it should be no problem, right?”

“Indeed, it won’t work, because she didn’t stay in the Dream Realm through the regular process.

So she cannot be touched by any Phantom Demons, otherwise, she will completely become one of the Dream Realm’s Phantom Demons…

Only a living mortal can safely bring her back.”

“Who?”

“My daughter.”

The seven or eight-year-old girl raised her head, emphasizing earnestly, “My own biological daughter.”
