Chapter 69 The Mystery of Celia's Origins 2

"That traitor Kael'thas!" Celia's voice became clear again, filled with hatred. "He killed my father, and although he successfully stole the [Dark Eclipse Lord's Token] and forcibly received the millennium-old energy feedback that should have belonged to my father, but..."

Her tone shifted, tinged with a mixture of pleasure and sarcasm: "He doesn't have the [Abyssal Blood Core]! This blood core is the key to safely absorbing abyssal feedback and truly controlling Darkeclipse City!"

"Without the harmonizing and protection of the Blood Core, he possesses immense power but dares not use it easily. He must constantly be distracted by suppressing the out-of-control, violent energy emanating from the Abyss, lest he be devoured or even assimilated! He can only slowly and cautiously nibble away at that power like a miser. Therefore, he cannot leave Dark Eclipse City for an extended period, much less leave the Abyss to hunt me down!"

"But he will never let me go..." Celia's eyes dimmed for a moment. "He sent his elite forces to hunt me down. I relied on some 'mind slaves' that I had previously controlled using my talents to constantly resist and escape..."

Her voice betrayed a deep weariness, a weariness born from a long and desperate escape.

"Many of my loyal subordinates and heart slaves... died protecting me..." Another tear slid down her cheek. "In the end, I was forced to the vicinity of the entrance to the boundary between the Abyss and the Prime Material Plane."

"At that time, my level had dropped to level 20, the power of the seal was too strong... I knew that was my last chance." As if she had made up her mind, "I ordered all the remaining high-level mind slaves to rush towards the entrance without regard for anything else, to clear a path for me..."

"It was a suicidal charge... Kael'thas's elite pursuit team was completely enraged and engaged in a melee with them... while I, taking advantage of the chaos, rushed towards the light at the entrance..."

She paused, her voice lowering, "Later I learned that the high-level human warriors guarding the other end of the entrance were alarmed by the sudden eruption of conflict mixed with a large amount of energy from high-level abyssal creatures, and decisively took action... The violent energy shockwave swept everything away..."

"All my high-ranking mind slaves, and those elites sent by Kael'thas... almost all perished in that chaotic energy storm and the attacks of the human powerhouses."

"And I..." Celia's expression was a complex mix of bitterness and relief. "Perhaps because my level dropped so low and my energy fluctuations were so weak, I wasn't noticed by those powerful human beings immediately, or rather... I wasn't considered a primary threat... That's how I managed to slip through the entrance and escape into the main plane..."

"And then... I met you, Master."

The story finally came to an end. Celia raised her teary eyes and looked at Lin Tian. Tiny teardrops still clung to her long eyelashes, adding to her sorrow and fragility.

"That's the whole story."

Lin Tian remained silent, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the armrest of the armchair.

Celia's narrative is packed with information, not only explaining her own ordeal but also seemingly indirectly revealing the reason for the attack on the Northern Abyss Fortress of Sunset City—which was likely a chain reaction triggered by the chaotic battle at the entrance when Celia escaped the abyss.

He looked at the slowly rotating [Abyss Blood Core] in his hand, its interior shimmering with energy, then at Celia before him, her tears still wet and her face pitiful. A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind.

......

Lin Tian digested the vast amount of information Celia had shared: the power shifts, betrayals, and escapes in the Abyss—all of which far exceeded his previous expectations.

He hesitated for a moment, then asked another crucial question: "Celia, how much do you know about the 'Game of Multiverse Conquest'?"

Upon hearing this question, Celia paused slightly as she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She gathered her thoughts and replied, "Master, I know some things about the 'Battle for Supremacy in the Myriad Realms,' but not all of them."

"As far as I know, the 'Multiverse Conquest Game' appeared a long time ago, but the reason for its appearance is unknown."

"It seems to be governed by some supreme rule or existence that we cannot understand, which selects one or more worlds at long or irregular intervals and incorporates all the living beings in them into this vast system."

"The chosen worlds will have their inhabitants randomly scattered across numerous basic training grounds, such as the 9527 Beginner Continent where you are located, which are what you call the 'Beginner Continent' and 'Beginner Village'."

"This process is more like a brutal selection and competition that sweeps across countless worlds. The goal is to select individuals with outstanding potential and talent from among billions of living beings."

Her tone carried a calmness as if she were discussing some kind of natural law, yet it also implied a sense of awareness of its cruelty.

"The Abyss, as a special and vast collection of planes, has stable or temporary connections with many such 'beginner continents' and even higher-level realms. Therefore, from the perspective of the Abyss, one can observe the fate of many worlds and beings caught up in the 'Battle for Supremacy'."

"but."

Celia shook her head gently, her pale purple eyes revealing genuine confusion and awe.

"As for why the entity behind this 'Battle for Supremacy' would do such a thing?"

"What is its ultimate purpose? Is it simply to select the strongest? Or is it for some grander, more unimaginable scheme? It might even involve a power struggle between different supreme rules?"

"These things... are beyond the knowledge of someone like me, the daughter of a former Abyss City Lord. Perhaps they involve the most fundamental mysteries of this world."

She looked at Lin Tian with a serious expression: "That's about all I know. It's a massive storm affecting all realms, and every individual caught in it can only struggle to become stronger and survive."

After listening, Lin Tian nodded slowly and fell into deep thought.

Celia's words confirm the game's grand background and reveal its brutal selection process.

Although the core purpose remains a mystery, it at least gave him a broader understanding of his environment.

He knew that, whether for his own sake or to deal with the potential trouble brought by Celia, such as the possible follow-up pursuit by that traitorous uncle, or the other powerful figures he might face in the future, rapidly increasing his strength was the only option.

Fortunately, he possesses the incredible talent of [Enhancement].

Thinking of the exorbitant cost of one hundred soul crystals to remove the seal, Lin Tian did not feel despair; instead, a strong desire to challenge arose within him.

"One hundred soul crystals..." he repeated in a low voice, a confident smile curving his lips. "Looks like I'll have to work even harder to 'earn' money."
