Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 116 The Rising Sun Across Time and Space

Luo Xin's figure disappeared completely.

Rose dared not be careless in the slightest. Even a kilometer away, she could still sense all the fluctuations around Luo Xin's location through the extending vines.

The headquarters of the Vishzhe Group, where they trained, collapsed completely.

Then, a deathly silence fell.

"Let's call a truce," Luo Xin's voice came from somewhere after a long while, "If this continues, we won't be able to determine a winner."

Rose clearly heard Luo Xin's words. After a moment's thought, the vines disappeared, and she returned directly to the conference room.

Not long after, Luo Xin's figure quietly appeared in the conference room.

"Material interference and plant manipulation—this near-instantaneous movement method is truly convenient," Luo Xin remarked as soon as he appeared.

"Just now, did you divide time and space into the smallest units, and then hide yourself in the gaps of these smallest units, making it impossible for me to observe you?" Rose asked, voicing her doubts.

"As expected of a top-tier witch, she saw through it at a glance," Luo Xin readily admitted. "This is indeed one of the conventional methods of manipulating time and space."

"I am not the witch of this world after all. Even if I can see through your tricks, I cannot truly attack you under the world's suppression. Even if I could, with your defensive methods, my attacks would be ineffective." Rose shook her head.

"You're too modest. Even though you're being suppressed by the world, when I directly shattered space to destroy your vines just now, I felt obvious resistance. In terms of sheer numbers, you're already the strongest witch of this era, right?" Now that they had stopped fighting, the two began a calm conversation, but their words carried a hint of mutual probing.

"If you can interfere with Xi before I do, it means you are also one of the people she trusts," Rose said slowly.

(Given Xi's strength, even her younger sister Luo Xin would be absolutely unable to interfere with her if she herself were unwilling. Therefore, Luo Xin should also be someone Xi approves of.)

This is Rose's inner judgment.

"Although you almost became Luo Xi's wife in the original timeline of Xi... that's not necessarily the case this time," Luo Xin smiled. "This time, I won't give her up to anyone."

(The fact that Rose used the word "also" indicates that she is also trusted by Luo Xi. Rose also possesses the magical property of sensing fate. However, Luo Xi is the one with the strongest influence over cause and effect, which has already been confirmed...)

Luo Xin quickly made a guess in his mind.

Their eyes flickered slightly as they pondered the information conveyed in each other's words.

As the world's suppression of Rose lessens, her strength gradually recovers, and her memories are slowly awakening. According to her latest awakened memories, Luo Xin should have been killed by Luo Xi during her transformation into a witch.

But Luo Xin is alive and well right now. Qiangwei is unsure whether Luo Xin interfered with Luo Xi's fate earlier, or whether it was her own intervention that changed Luo Xin's fate.

"You should know about the original Luo Xi, the initial Xi. She possessed both absolute rationality and extreme madness, two incompatible qualities, and... erased her own humanity," Luo Xin's smile faded slightly. "If I hadn't been suppressing her all along to prevent her from following the path of the initial Xi, she would probably have become a high-level witch by now, and even you wouldn't be able to interfere."

"In her initial state, Xi transformed into a witch at the age of twelve, reached the Foundation Establishment stage in three days, and the Golden Core stage in three weeks. During the Golden Core stage, she destroyed the Witch Council; during the Nascent Soul stage, she directly shattered this planet, wiping out all life on it—this is my memory," Rose denied. "At the current point in time, even without your suppression, Luo Xi would at most be at the Golden Core stage. At the Golden Core stage, I might not be unable to interfere."

This was Luo Xin's test. Clearly, Rose not only noticed it, but also refuted Luo Xin's information and gave the correct information.

"Now you know what's going to happen, right?" Luo Xin began, "The first abnormal hyper-aggregation event, the abnormal hyper-aggregation event at the Witch Council headquarters!"

"Yes." Rose sighed softly, "In the world without you and without me, the initial state of Xi was unable to resist the abnormal entity she encountered in Qianhe County and was already devoured at that time."

"But the anomalous entity in Qianhe County couldn't devour Xi's consciousness," Luo Xin sighed. "She completed the initial consciousness deadlock in the world of consciousness. After the deadlock, although the anomalous entity devoured her body, it couldn't digest her consciousness. In the end, her consciousness coexisted with the anomalous entity."

"Afterwards, she secretly interfered with the actions of the anomalous entity in Thousand Valleys County using her consciousness, inducing it to fight against the anomalous entity that triggered the abnormal hyper-aggregation event at the Witch Council headquarters..."

"During the confrontation, she successfully countered the anomaly in Qianhe County and advanced to the Golden Core stage," Rose's voice was tinged with a faint sadness. "On the surface, only three weeks have passed, but in order to deal with the anomaly that caused the super-aggregation, she locked herself in a time loop... The time inside is unimaginably long."

"And during that time, the pain she endured was unbearable for ordinary people," Luo Xin lowered his head, "but this was also one of the prices that Chu Xi had to pay for killing me. Since she had the opportunity from me, she also had to bear my destiny."

The conversation between the two witches about Luo Xi, seemingly an exchange of information, was actually an attempt to verify the differences in their understanding and thus deduce each other's true intentions.

"Since she trusts you and me, then we can't let her handle the first abnormal hyper-aggregation event alone again," Luo Xin glanced at Qiangwei, "I'm only E-level right now, you know my level."

Yes, according to Luo Xin's thinking, an E-level witch would have absolutely no chance of handling abnormal hyper-aggregation events.

The so-called abnormal super-aggregation refers to the process by which an abnormal core becomes fully explicit and begins to absorb all the abnormal cores on the entire planet.

The abnormal entity or phantom formed by the fully manifested abnormal core is so powerful that even a high-level witch would find it difficult to resist.

As for the abnormal events it causes, those are events that only high-level witches or even super-high-level witches are qualified to participate in!

However, based on the first of the three laws of anomalies, only anomalies can counteract anomalies. In the timeline where Xi was in the initial state, the first super-aggregation of anomalies was only barely contained in the loop spacetime by Xi, a mid-level witch, who artificially created another manifest anomaly.

"Since you know about the abnormal hyper-aggregation event, you should know that I can't handle this level of event on my own," Rose said, looking at Luo Xin. "I need your cooperation."

Luo Xin nodded in agreement.

"In addition, I need you to tell me information about Luo Xi's past life." Rose's eyes were calm, but her voice carried a hint of pressure.

"No," Luo Xin refused decisively, "This is one of the things I'm interfering with."

The two witches are at each other's throats once again!
