Chapter 789 Past Events

"The Central Islands, Muta? Where is Muta located?"

Milo quickly started searching on the map.

The fact that the advice has been given means that Emma is in the Dreamlands, and possibly even in the Southern Territory.

This is something to be happy about.

But given her abilities when she pulled Milo back from the brink of death, the fact that she hasn't come to meet him yet while she's in the Dream Realm says something.

This demonstrates that the message conveyed by the Eye of Thinking is true.

The people from the world of consciousness encountered some kind of accident while crossing the passage; perhaps she was injured, or perhaps she was kidnapped.

"Head towards Muta, at top speed."

Milo soon found a small island in the southern archipelago with a black icon, which was indeed named Muta.

...

Suddenly, Woti Iger, who had been floating in the water behind the ship, emerged from the surface with two snake heads, warning Milo:
"There are three Mutas in the Southern Central Islands."

Milo looked at the blueprints again, and sure enough, it was so.

"Then let's all go."

He firmly believed in Emma's advice and would visit every single one of the hundred Mutas in the Middle Islands.

As a "follower," Woti Iger dared not influence Milo's decision, but after much hesitation, he finally spoke up to add:

"Muta is the gathering place of the Bloodborne Clan."

“Then you might have to be prepared to fight those clans to the death,” Milo replied calmly.

Woti stopped talking and silently sank back to the bottom of the water.

...

Milo stared at the darkening sky, his mood more agitated than ever before, unable to calm down for a long time.

The information gleaned from the eyes of the three sorrowful ladies might be a trap, a flaw deliberately left for Milo by that old hag, but the advice written by the Noscia equation is absolutely correct.

So no matter what's on those three Muta Islands, no matter who might block his way, he has to go to the islands to find out.

...

The journey to the first Muta takes at least a day and a night.

Everyone on the snake ship, including Yan, could see Milo's emotional fluctuations, so they all tried their best not to provoke him.

However, late at night, "someone" approached Milo.

At that moment, Milo was sitting on the deck staring blankly at the pale blue admonition when a woman's figure silently emerged from the cabin. Her body outline and face were blurred, and she trailed behind her some thin threads that extended all the way to the tattered long dress in the corner of the cabin.

She was a Night Weaver whose form was already broken and tattered.

That long dress was brought out from the depths of the earth by Milo with His permission after Milo reached a cooperative agreement with Ig, the father of all serpents.

The Nightweaver never showed any hostility towards Milo and his group, and it was not her fault that they fell into the Dark Siren.

Ultimately, she was just a pitiful soul clinging to her obsession.

Milo had long realized that the Nightweaver had died much earlier than her beloved Vovados, perhaps even centuries earlier.

Perhaps they were one of the many civilizations among the followers of Vovados that were purged and wiped out, just like the snake people on the continent of Mu.

It was only after sensing the death of Vovados that the long-dormant Nightweaver sought out Milo.

Amidst the eerie whispers of the earth, she reclaimed the waning power of faith that belonged to Vovados, seeking revenge.

Intriguingly, Igor did not stop him. He left the faith he had plundered millions of years ago beneath the altar, seemingly waiting for this day to arrive.

In the end, the Night Weavers were defeated as expected.

But it was not completely erased.

At the time, Milo and his group were in an extremely dangerous situation and had no time to appreciate what was happening before their eyes, but now, looking back, they can sense something strange.

In this history, Igor did not play the role of the complete evil god as rumored.

Let's also refer to the words that Igor said to Milo before leaving the Underground Ghosts:

"Everything has a source, but that source is not in my snake-people race, nor in this eerie murmur."

"Remember, once the stars and the outer realms are involved, the dream gods themselves are the most likely to become hysterical."

Isn't it meaningful?

...

……

The Nightweaver walked from the cabin to the deck and came to stand in front of Milo.

Although her figure was blurred and intertwined with chaos, as if it might dissipate at any moment, the dignity and elegance of her movements were still clearly visible.

She sat down in front of Milo, and stared silently at the admonition left on the ground by the Noscia Equation Rule for a long time.

Finally, he whispered to Milo:
"Muta is the burial ground of the descendants of the gods."

...

This is a voice that only Milo can hear, and a language that only he can understand, because this knowledge comes from the fragmented undead memories of Vovados.

"A cemetery?"

Milo was somewhat surprised. Normally, the words "god" and "graveyard" wouldn't be associated, because gods are immortal and indestructible, so they certainly wouldn't need something like a graveyard.

If the gods hadn't fallen into the abyss, rendering their blessings ineffective, even the gods' servants could be considered immortal.

Why would the descendants of the gods need a burial ground?

...

But soon, the Nightweaver conveyed to Milo a complete concept he had never heard of before.

"The vast majority of the descendants of the gods are weak. Like ordinary humans, they cannot escape the natural order and must experience birth, aging, sickness, and death. Only a very few exceptionally gifted descendants can fully develop the other half of their divine nature and become one of the superior beings."

"And those who are mediocre, who cannot withstand the years and illness, will eventually be buried in the Muta. Because in the Bloodborne faith, Oriba Island is a sacred place symbolizing 'life' and 'hope,' and no shadow of death can remain there. Therefore, the Muta were built in places far away from Oriba Island to bury all the descendants of the gods who died, whether naturally or unnaturally."

"Those three Mu Towers are also one of the sacred sites for Bloodborne believers and their clans to worship and offer sacrifices. In their belief, the divinity sealed within Bloodborne will never disappear. Even if the carrier's life comes to an end, the undeveloped part of the divinity will still be preserved in the Mu Tower. Bloodborne clans believe that after a long period of sedimentation, a true god is destined to emerge from those three Mu Towers. For this reason, the clans and believers have been making various attempts and efforts."

...

"How do you know all this..." Milo was indeed hearing these details of the story for the first time.

The Night Weaver's answer was also very straightforward:

“I am one of the dead who were buried in Muta.”

...

"Oh~" Milo suddenly realized.

"So the legend is true? A reborn superior being will really crawl out of Muta's corpse?"

He pointed to the Night Weaver.

Actually, Milo had a second part he didn't say: "Your fighting ability doesn't seem that great."

...

But the Night Weaver sighed and shook his head: "I am merely a remnant soul that has not yet dissipated; I cannot be considered a Nirvana..."

“Then… at least you’re a descendant of the gods, right?” Milo muttered. “But you certainly didn’t die of natural causes, right?”

The Night Weaver continued to shake his head.

She then told Milo a story from a very long time ago.

...

It's about a girl born on the island of Oriba who falls in love with her elder brother from the same tribe.

It's not surprising that, in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, the descendants of Auriba Island still maintain the custom of inbreeding.

In short, the girl had always followed the brother she admired, who was an outstanding member of the descendant race. He had developed the divine power in his bloodline, become a superior being, and shouldered the mission of a superior being, embarking on his own path.

The gap between the girl and her brother was infinitely widened, from just a few years at the beginning to a difference in life status between the superior and the inferior.

The elder brother embarked on the path of the gods, established his own belief system, preached and spread the word, and was supported by the people.

The girl, though lacking her brother's talent and unable to sense the divinity within her bloodline, never ceased her pursuit.

She left Oriba Island, abandoning her noble status as a descendant of the gods, and joined her brother's sect, becoming one of the lowest-ranking members of the kin. Together with all those who had suffered and been redeemed, she prayed for her brother, who was now in a higher position, without complaint or regret.

Later, the elder brother received the will of the gods of Mount Kadas and was tasked with eradicating heretical sects in the southern region.

So the girl also joined the war.

She could no longer remember how many injuries she had sustained or how many aliens she had killed along the way.

But in the end, they won the war, wiping out the heretics that Kadas did not allow. And at the end of the war, her beloved brother received divine guidance and went to the so-called distant other shore to shoulder the responsibilities that belonged to the gods.

At this point in the story, the girl's affection for her brother had long since transformed, through the passage of time and the trials of war, into the subservient's faith in the superior.

She had long since accepted the distance between them.

Her brother, perhaps, has long forgotten her existence.

...

Post-war peace lasted for a long time.

Until one day, Igor appeared with a curse from the depths of the earth.

The Serpent People claim to have received the will of the gods of Mount Kadas to purge heretical sects.

Does it sound familiar?

...

As a result, many races that worshipped that brother suffered annihilation.

The girl also died in the war.

Her remains were returned to Oriba Island, where they were identified by her tribe and buried in Muta.
