Chapter 664-11- The Last Words Before Falling Asleep
Charlotte paused slightly after hearing Artemis's words.
She didn't say much, but nodded slightly:
“Call Him out.”
After a flash of silver light, Helios appeared inside the hall.
He appeared no different from usual, except that the golden radiance emanating from his entire body at all times proclaimed that he was no longer a divine body, but merely a divine soul in an energy state.
In Charlotte's vision, what she saw was a divine core on the verge of shattering and a somewhat weakened divine fire. At the deepest part of that divine fire, there was still a trace of pale white flame, like a lingering affliction, intertwined with the golden divine fire.
That was the primordial power.
It was originally part of Helios's divine soul, and unless the original was completely destroyed, Helios could not possibly completely eliminate it.
However, after being severely damaged, it has become incredibly weak.
Even without Charlotte's intervention, Helios could easily suppress it.
But clearly, Helios, who did not want to reshape the divine body, had no intention of suppressing it.
Looking at the Sun God, who was extremely weak but whose gaze was more determined than ever before, Charlotte vaguely guessed what he was thinking.
She sighed softly and said:
"Helios, do you... wish to be reincarnated?"
Helios smiled slightly and said respectfully:
"Teacher, I knew it, you must know what I was thinking."
Charlotte paused for a moment, then said:
"You should know that the primordial power within you has not yet been completely eradicated. If you were still in the form of a god, it would be fine; you could suppress it indefinitely. But if you were to be reincarnated..."
"You will lose your divine power for a period of time, and as a mortal, you will be unable to suppress its power."
Helios laughed:
"But isn't this exactly what history was supposed to happen? You said that history, once it has happened, cannot be changed."
"It cannot be changed, but it can be shaped. In the past, the Western Continent was destroyed because of you, but now... it has been destroyed by me. Although it is the same destruction, it is ultimately different. This is the variable."
Charlotte said.
Helios said seriously:
"That's why I want to 'go with the flow' of history."
“Teacher, I have an inseparable connection with the Primordial One, so… I can also vaguely sense His thoughts.”
“You have successfully dealt Him a heavy blow. I can feel His fear, and I can also vaguely sense His thoughts…”
"If there is no suitable opportunity, He will not appear again. He will choose to remain asleep and wait... wait... until the day when there is hope of being revived."
“I know that you will definitely continue to push history forward according to ‘history’, such as… creating vampires, such as letting me and Artemis’s avatars replace us in the previous life—Harald… and Lilith.”
"But if that's the case, the Primordial One will definitely not reappear, at least not like it did in history."
"Unless He senses an 'opportunity'."
Charlotte's heart stirred slightly, and her brows furrowed a little:
"Do you want to become His 'opportunity'? Do you want to race against Him and against time?"
Helios laughed:
"Why not? I am the embodiment of His original power, and my body is the best vessel for Him."
Even if He knows it's bait, as long as He feels a possibility of victory, He has no choice but to bite. After all... waiting may bring an opportunity, but it also means variables.
At this point, Helios's eyes gleamed:
"Therefore, as long as I reincarnate, as long as He feels hope, He will definitely take action, and my body... can become the best prison to confine Him. At that time... you can completely end Him!"
Charlotte fell silent.
Helios is right.
His body can be the best prison.
The reason why the Primordial One was allowed to escape this time is because the Primordial One's power is omnipresent. Currently, the origin of the opponent's soul has not been condensed into a single point, so even if it is sealed with divine magic, it will inevitably leave loopholes.
But Helios's body was different.
If the primordial spirit were to fully revive within Him, it would mean that the original divine soul of the other party would be completely condensed. Only in this way could Helios completely replace Him, and if Helios were destroyed at that time, there would be a chance to completely banish him to eternal silence.
But similarly, His complete resurrection also meant the demise of Helios.
After a long silence, Charlotte looked at the other person:
"You...have you made up your mind? Do you know what this means?"
Helios nodded:
"Of course, it just means that I too will fall into eternal silence."
"This is the inevitable result, and also the best result. If He does not die, we cannot be separated, and if I do not die, He will not fall into eternal silence."
Charlotte's gaze turned complicated upon hearing His words.
Artemis bit her lip, hesitant to speak, a deep sadness welling up in her eyes.
Seeing his sister's sad expression, Helios smiled.
He patted the other's head and comforted him:
“Lilith, there’s no need to make that face. It’s just that we’ve fallen into eternal silence, not that we can never come back.”
“With the teacher here, it’s not impossible that when the original thing completely dissipates, he can call me back in the name of God.”
But when you return, you are no longer yourself.
Charlotte sighed inwardly.
However, she also knew that Helios's plan was already the best plan. After all... she couldn't guarantee that if she gave the Primal more time, other variables would arise, or that the other party would have other trump cards. To put it bluntly, waiting indefinitely was something that neither the Primal nor she wanted to see.
At a critical juncture in history, annihilating the other party into eternal oblivion was the best option for both of them.
After a long silence, her expression returned to calm, and she said:
"Since you've made up your mind, then let's reincarnate as you wish."
Helios bowed deeply:
"Teacher, thank you for your permission."
Charlotte then looked at Artemis, who seemed hesitant to speak, her expression gradually becoming serious:
“Artemis, now that Helios has made his choice, then... I also have a corresponding task for you.”
Artemis listened attentively, while Charlotte extended her hand.
A golden-red radiance shone in her hand, eventually coalescing into specks of light—the very essence of the divine souls of the elven mythical beings who had perished in the hands of the Primordial One.
Following the bloodline connection, Charlotte managed to retrieve their essence before their demise, and now it is all in Artemis's hands.
“These are the origins of the gods. Although they have suffered severe damage, they still have the opportunity to be reborn. Now… I entrust them to you.”
Charlotte said.
After Artemis respectfully received the source of the gods, a crimson light appeared in Charlotte's hand, eventually condensing into a phantom book, which was the Blood Codex!
Charlotte continued:
"After the recent clash with the primordial power, I have found its weakness, reconstituted a primordial power capable of suppressing the original creator god, and sealed it within this book."
“When Helios is reincarnated, you should create an incarnation as originally planned, to protect Him while waiting for the future ‘me’.”
"Then... hand it over to the future 'me'!"
Artemis raised her head and finally couldn't help but say:
"Teacher, what about you? You..."
Charlotte laughed:
"Of course I'm going to fall into a deep sleep. You don't think I'm completely unharmed after that devastating blow to the Primal One, do you?"
"I need to go into hibernation for a while, which may take a very long time, to rebuild my strength."
The two elves' expressions changed instantly, and worry appeared on their faces.
Charlotte laughed and said:
"Don't worry, the Primal One is in a much worse state than me. Even if it is in a deep sleep, even if the reincarnation of Helios has accelerated its revival, I will definitely awaken before it."
"This is not a bad thing. It is impossible for me to meet my future self directly. Such is the law of the world. If we meet, it will either cause the law of the world to collapse completely, or we will become one... So sleeping is my best choice."
"After all, there can only be one Blood Ancestor in the world."
“I will guide the future ‘me’ and revive at the right time. When the memories of the two ‘me’ merge and they return to their original positions, that will be the time for our final battle against the original.”
