Chapter 906: Natural Laws and Human Instincts

Chapter 893 – Natural Laws and Human Instincts

Saul also knew that Camus couldn’t possibly be the owner of the Black Tide, and he was only using an exaggeration to provoke Camus into divulging a hint of the truth.

But he didn’t expect that the truth Camus divulged made him somewhat …… unacceptable.

The anchor point, a skeleton in a dead world.

And there were thousands of such skeletons in this dead world. Even this human white bone that appeared in front of Saul was only the smallest of them.

[You see it, don’t you?

Camus’ voice continued to ring in Sol’s head.

[The Black Tide anchor points that are so frightening in the Wizard World are actually everywhere. As long as the Eye of the Abyss completely opens its exit to the Wizard World, the Black Tide can instantly contaminate the entire Wizard World, and even fourth-ranked wizards will not be able to resist it. And the opening of the Eye of the Abyss is inevitable.]

“If that’s what you think, why are you telling me about it? Or do you think I can stop this?”

[You can’t stop this. But you are delaying it. There’s no need, Saul, there’s really no need, worlds fall and are born by the most basic rules of nature, and you’ll only be crushed to pieces by the rules if you stand in the way].

Saul looked around, so far he hadn’t found any existence other than bones and land.

Camus is silent for a moment.

This was the dead eye of the abyss, but beneath his feet was a world that still held life.

[Your struggles are pointless.]

In that case, might as well play a little bigger.

Sol, however, only felt amused, “You say that the birth and destruction of the world is a law of nature, then isn’t man’s struggle also a part of the law of nature? Wanting to live is also human instinct, you can’t just emphasize the laws of nature with me and make me forget my instincts.”

Saul realized that Camus had no intention of attacking himself, and it seemed that in this place, she, a native, couldn’t do much.

If this was the inner space of the Eye of the Abyss, it would make sense for the Chaotic Domain to appear here. After all, the Eye of the Abyss did once devour a continent.

Asking about the main topic, Camus instead stopped talking.

[But your resistance is destined to be fruitless.]

“Is there anything else you want to say? Like what is this place?”

“You’re Camus, the senior of my mentor Golza, so how did you become the anchor point of the Eye of the Abyss?”

Sol no longer wanted to hear Camus continue to preach, such an argument was pointless.

Saul wasn’t thinking about whether there was a way to preserve the wizard world like the chaotic domain if the Black Tide did break out one day.

“There are some things that are not really meaningless just because you say they are meaningless. You have been a corpse for a long time, surviving and perishing is no different from you, and very different from me.”

“Since you don’t want to talk about it, let me guess. There are anchor points all over this place, and anchor points come from the Black Tide, and the Black Tide comes from the Eye of the Abyss, could it be that this is the inner space of the Eye of the Abyss?”

What Saul had probed into this place was only a sliver of fate thread after all.

And there was no warning from the Death Sorcerer’s Diary.

He pondered, since the chaotic realm could “survive” in the eye of the abyss, did that mean that his world still had a way to fight against the black tide?
For example, the membrane that wrapped around the entire chaotic domain.

You can think so. You can speculate any way you want, but it’s pointless.

This time Camus didn’t say anything. She seemed to realize that Saul wasn’t the least bit impressed by what she was saying, and was trying to turn the tables on her.

She began to say what she had said before again.

[The wizard world is destined to be destroyed in the Black Tide.]

Saul already had some guesses in his mind, but they could not be verified here.

“Your persuasion is meaningless, even if it’s all death, I’m sure I’ll die standing up.”

Saul shrunk back.

Camus still just watched him leave and made no move to stop him.

“She really can’t take a shot at the Fate Line. Being able to detect the existence of my fate line is mostly due to the fact that the anchor point on her index finger and her current body are probably of the same origin.”

Seeing Sol regain her vigor, Korie, who was nearby, immediately came up.

“Any new discoveries?” “There is.” Saul called everyone over, and then told what had happened to him and his guesses.

“This world really isn’t simple.” Kori shook her head, still gently tossing the remains of the white bones she had just found in her hand.

“We can’t be completely sure yet.” Byron said.

Sol said, “It’s impossible to tell if they can’t or won’t yet, but they won’t affect us for a while now.”

Saul pointed to the mountain wall, “I haven’t been to any other places close to the ground yet, and I don’t know if every one of them has gaps where we can travel to the outside world. Also, we need to figure out if the reason for the large number of white bone monsters here has anything to do with the gap in the ground.”

Byron nodded as he listened, “I’m afraid all of this will take some time to verify.”

Unfortunately, Saul didn’t have a lot of time to spare.

After deciding on the next plan of action, the three of them returned to the Masterless Land for the time being.

They were, after all, still under the guise of Storm’s Eye’s incoming attack, and they always needed to take the time to make a show of it.

Thor also went around looking for the eye of the wind in disguise, but halfway he would always find something else for himself to do.

On this day, for example, Saul activated the Phantom Channel on the road, while letting the driver continue to drive on.

Now he was accessing the Phantom Channel at regular intervals, monitoring the movements of several Symphony of Fate targets.

In addition to communicating with each other, they were also able to get some news.

Today, as soon as he entered the Phantom Channel, Saul heard Midori’s plea for help.

Midol: [Lord Sol, my growth has hit a bottleneck].

Of course Saul was concerned about the life trajectory of his targets, and he directly shared Midol’s words to everyone.

“What kind of bottleneck?”

Midol: [In a short period of time, I just can’t grow up].

Her voice was a little bit aggravated.

[I’ve been trying my hardest to eat, grow, and gain weight, but now no matter how much I eat or what I eat, my body is fixed in its current form.]

“Growth limit?” Sol thought back to the inverted tree he saw at Baidon Academy, “It shouldn’t be the limit yet.”

Considering how long it took for Midol to enter her new body, Sol could only categorize it as a growth plateau.

“Like you said, Midol, you’ve entered a growth bottleneck, which may take time to grind down a little before you can grow again.”

Midol: [But at this rate, I won’t be able to completely cover the Red Sea tree cluster by the time the next Black Tide comes. It might even be less than half. Those wizards from the Court of Judgment are about to realize that I’m entering a bottleneck. If they realize that I can’t take care of all the Red Sea Trees, will they give up on nurturing me?”]

“That shouldn’t be the case, if it’s just the next Black Tide, the people of the Court of Judgment should have a way to get through it as well.”

[But I’m afraid that even if I grow to my limit, I won’t be able to protect all the Red Sea Trees.

No one knew if a certain growth bottleneck was the limit of growth. Although the Ruling Court wouldn’t just give up on Midgard, it would definitely affect Midgard’s growth.

Just as Sol was thinking about countermeasures, Shia, who had been listening in for half a day, suddenly spoke up.

Shia: [Please wait, Sol, if I remember correctly, the new body that Midol transformed contains the organization of the Inverted Tree, right?

“That’s right.”

Shia: [If I’m not mistaken, Midol is using the roots of the tree to stab into the Red Sea Tree to absorb the contamination inside the Red Sea Tree].

Sol continued to nod.

Shia: [But when the Inverted Tree absorbs nutrients, it never uses its roots to root into anything!

Midori still didn’t understand what it meant, but it suddenly dawned on Sol.

“The Tree of Inversion, controls the golem through thin threads that are normally invisible, could it be that it is also absorbing nutrients in this way?”

Shia: [You guessed it right!
