Chapter 966: 300. Fate Shackles_3
“You are the carriers of destiny, and if destiny chooses you, you will possess a sub-dimensional plane.”
Noland Lee drifted for a moment, recalling the words Denise Green had said when they first met.
Essentially, it meant:
Everyone is manipulated by fate, and if you survive when you should have died, then you will obtain rebirth magic power.
This phenomenon of “escaping death” and being reborn is precisely what the Lamp of Resurrection values.
That is why people who often flirt with death and escape from it are viewed by the Resurrection Witch as potential contractors.
...
But here lies the problem.
If the “resurrection” phenomenon breaks the deadlock of fate, doesn’t this mean that the contractor isn’t following the predetermined route of destiny?
Then how could the Assassin Angel say that destiny has chosen the contractor, and therefore, they will own a sub-dimensional plane?
Could it be…
Could it be that the “resurrection” phenomenon itself is also part of destiny’s arrangement?
Noland Lee seemed to understand.
The voice of the Assassin Angel was ethereal:
“The weavers of fate have imposed five shackles upon you.”
“Death, aging, sickness, disaster, and suffering.
“You simply have the opportunity to break free from the shackles of ‘death,’ and you do not have the power to resist the other four shackles of fate.
“You are still bound to the ship of fate, which will carry you towards destiny’s final destination. You are powerless to resist and can only endure what destiny has in store for you.”
The Assassin Angel continued:
“In the future, several pollution zones will appear on the ground level, and among them, there may be one that is compatible with you. When the time is right, I will assist in transforming one into your sub-dimensional plane.”
Predicting the future, huh…
Noland Lee felt a chill in his heart.
His mind was swirling with thoughts, and he was very curious about how the other party managed all this.
However, curious as he was, Noland Lee wasn’t planning to press for answers to the bottom.
He could tell that this mysterious big shot in front of him liked to keep things succinct.
It was futile for Noland Lee to probe for information; it was best to wait for the other to divulge details on their own initiative. There was no need for further questions.
Otherwise, he would have to resort to using Deconstruction…
Noland Lee cast Deconstruction, glanced at the Deconstruction consumption, and felt his mind reel at the long string of zeros.
Forget it, it’s better to wait for the other party to reveal secrets voluntarily.
Regarding the three tasks proposed by the Assassin Angel…
Noland Lee pondered for a moment and eventually chose to agree.
The Assassin Angel didn’t waste words, instead, firing a column of light made of fumes straight at Noland Lee.
A system message echoed in Noland Lee’s mind.
Just like before, this was a request for a soul contract establishment from the Assassin Angel.
After reading the soul contract drafted by the Assassin Angel and confirming there were no traps, Noland Lee readily accepted.
As the system indicated the formation of the contract, the Assassin Angel began to fulfill her promise.
“Over an upcoming period, a total of five pollution zones will appear within the Inner Cosmos,” the Assassin Angel declared.
“The first pollution zone, the ‘Bustling Tunnel’. Its entrance is hidden deep within the mountains.”
“The second pollution zone, the ‘Steel Forest of Mortal World’, lies at the confluence of steel torrents and undead creatures; you will find signs of this pollution zone there.”
Steel torrents…
Undead creatures…
Suffering Borderland???
Noland Lee zoned out for half a second.
The Assassin Angel continued:
“The third sub-dimensional plane, the ‘Decayed Wilderness.’ The entrance to this pollution zone is where the gray-skinned monsters congregate.”
Gray-skinned monsters…
Noland Lee naturally thought of the Aberration.
“Excuse me, Your Excellency, please allow me to interrupt,” Noland Lee raised his hand to signal.
The Assassin Angel was not angry; she simply stopped talking and quietly looked at him.
Noland Lee said:
“The Wizard Advancement Association says that magic relics overrun by evil creatures might originally have been human domains contaminated by Outer Star Payment. However, because they were completely overtaken by extraterrestrial space pollution, these realms were exiled from the Natural World by some magnificent power and turned into the current Magic Relics.”
“Do you agree with this view? Will the three pollution zones you mentioned earlier eventually evolve into Magic Relics?” noveldrama
The Assassin Angel stated:
“The fourth pollution zone, the ‘Thought Cave.’ Its entrance is located where the Soul Burning Blood Demon prevails.”
Alright… alright… still as aloof as ever.
Seeing the Assassin Angel reluctant to engage with his question, Noland Lee no longer dwelt on the previous issue.
“The fifth pollution zone, the ‘Visionary Market.’ Its entrance is near a group of money-obsessed individuals.”
‘Bustling Tunnel’
‘Steel Forest of Mortal World’
‘Gray Wilderness’
‘Thought Cave’
‘Visionary Market’
Five pollution zones, five descriptions of the locations of the pollution zones.
The origins of the pollution zones are unknown, as are the exact positions of the pollution zones.
The most exaggerated is the ‘Bustling Tunnel.’
The Assassin Angel said it’s at the base of some mountain range.
Where does one even start looking…
Noland Lee was bewildered.
The deep purple fumes quickly dispersed in front of him.
In less than a second, the bright moonlight entered his Magic Vision, and Noland Lee once again saw “Nicolette” standing on the balcony.
She turned and went back inside the house, lay down on the bed, and there were no more movements.
From beginning to end, the Assassin Angel hadn’t spoken a single unnecessary word.
Noland Lee closed “Mind View” and looked at the ceiling.
After a brief consideration, he decided to visit the Court of Silence to inquire about the sub-dimensional planes with Professor Erica.
He didn’t aim to completely understand the connection between sub-dimensional planes and pollution zones; he just hoped she could provide some information to help him pinpoint the locations of those five pollution zones more quickly.
“I’ll definitely have to endure a lecture from Professor Erica; she’s always wanted me back in the classroom…”
