Chapter 791 The Sealed Secret

……

The funeral procession was extremely large.

The first half consisted of a group of people whose faces were mostly covered by hoods, so their faces could not be seen. The thick cloaks left almost no skin exposed to the air.

The second half of the group was several times larger than the first half, a huge horde of Bloodborne believers, with a very high proportion of psychics.

...

There was still a considerable distance between the edge of the island and Muta's location, but that distance was not enough for the entire funeral procession to fully unfold.

"Who was it sent to?"

Milo easily blended into the funeral procession.

He was just muttering something offhand.

A Bloodborne follower nearby immediately chimed in, "Great divine child, guardian of outer space, you don't even know this? What are you doing here?... Hmm? Who are you!"

...

Upon noticing Milo, an unfamiliar outsider, the Bloodborne believer was about to shout when Milo gently patted him on the shoulder, causing him to regain his composure and continue following the funeral procession in a daze.

...

Great Son of God, Milo still had no answer in his mind when he heard this reply.

But the "watcher of outer space" is something we're all too familiar with.

Wovados, huh.

This thing just recently died out.

But something's not right...

His body had long since been shattered into dust. Did it sink to the bottom of the sea along with that swamp after Milo read his memories of the dead?
How come another dead Volvados has suddenly appeared here?

How did they find out that Vovadas was dead?

...

Milo bypassed the back half of the procession and headed straight for the coffin being carried by the front team.

But some people are faster than him.

It is the Night Weaver.

Unbeknownst to anyone, half of the Nightweaver's dark spirit body had already entered the coffin.

However, no one around, including the coffin bearers, noticed anything amiss. These guys, who were wrapped up so tightly, seemed to have some kind of vision impairment. Among so many people, not one of them could see the Night Weaver's spirit.

...

Although Milo could roughly "see" what was inside the coffin, even through it.

This corpse was definitely not the shattered Volvados he had encountered before, but he didn't know who it was.

What happened next was a bit strange.

After the Night Weaver, who had half-exposed himself in the coffin, broke free, he floated there blankly, as if struck by some shock, letting the others in the group pass by him.

...

Even from a distance, Milo could hear her mutterings filled with confusion and astonishment:

"What happened... what exactly happened?"

...

"What's going on?" Yan also came closer to Milo at this moment.

He somehow acquired a bizarre Bloodborne Cultist outfit for himself, and he figured someone in the party was bound to be unlucky later on.

“How would I know what happened?” Milo shook his head.

But he could sense the Night Weaver's inner turmoil, his confusion and bewilderment, and the unease and fear that followed.

To put it bluntly, her sanity level changed.

Although it sounds outrageous, it is true; the soul's sanity was shaken.

So what exactly did she see inside that coffin?
...

"It is Him..."

"It really is Him..."

"But how could this be..."

"But it really is Him, exactly as I remember Him, exactly the same..."

"I do not understand…"

"how come……"

The Night Weaver stood frozen in place, as if bewitched, repeating similar words over and over again.

Her condition worsened; the outline of her spirit body, which had almost been completely shattered by Igor, became even more blurred, showing signs of disintegration.

...

"Could it really be Vovados inside?"

Are these people really carrying the corpse of a dead god and wandering around the island in broad daylight?
impossible.

The real Worvados was killed by the Four Horsemen of the Favor. His body parts were almost mixed and shaken together with the altar dust and the surrounding swamp mud. How could he have left a complete dead body to receive such a grand funeral?
...

"what happened?"

Milo pulled the Nightweaver away from the group and asked her about the situation from behind the rocks.

The Night Weaver had not fully recovered and remained in a dazed state, as if she were about to lose her self-awareness at any moment.

She just kept muttering and weeping:

“I failed to uphold His lineage, I never witnessed His rise, and I couldn’t even find the truth behind His death…” “Waaah…”

"Woooooooo..."

...

The sight of the dead weeping at the graves of the dead is quite rare.

Fortunately, the Nightweaver was not as fragile as Milo had imagined. She did not "cry herself to death" and eventually regained her composure.

Ultimately, it wasn't purely due to intense emotional fluctuations that brought her spirit to the brink of collapse. Rather, she was simply a spirit formed from a multitude of persistent obsessions, not even a soul. It was something formed by a series of stubborn thoughts, perceptions, and memories intertwined together.

What she just saw has clearly shaken the part of "cognition" that forms a spirit. Once she begins to doubt her past cognition, it means that she is pushing herself toward "death"—death at the spiritual level.

Fortunately, she has a good ability to adjust herself.

Furthermore, Miloš's gentle touch with the flames completely calmed her mind.

He never imagined he would have the experience of coaxing ghosts in his lifetime.

...

The Nightweaver, now settled, didn't waste any words and told Milo with absolute certainty:

"The one lying in the coffin is the one I know; He is, Vovadas."

"Bullshit! His body is clearly shattered into pieces. I've even read his memories of the dead. How could that be fake?" Milo clearly didn't believe this claim.

He assumed that the Night Weaver had been so agitated that she had lost her mind and was delirious.

But the Night Weaver was very certain of his judgment.

She then provided her counterargument: "The memories of the dead you saw, were they complete?"

That one sentence left Milo speechless.

What he saw from the perspective of the undead in Vovados was indeed fragmented, with not a single piece of memory being complete.

...

“Okay, there’s no point in arguing about this. Once they’ve finished the funeral, I’ll go back to Mutane and touch His grave. Then everything will be clear.”

Milo shrugged.

Yan suddenly interjected, tentatively asking, "And then they destroy the grave?"

That means they haven't forgotten their original aspirations.

It was clear that he wasn't asking Milo, but rather the Nightweaver.

The Night Weaver chose to remain silent, clearly having a new perspective on Milo's arrangement...

The atmosphere at the scene began to become somewhat strange.

Ultimately, the decision was made by Milo:

"Then let's go into Mutali first and see what's going on."

...

Thus, the two people and one soul rejoined the funeral procession.

Yan had already disguised himself as a Bloodborne follower, and Milo and the Nightweaver only needed to conceal their presence slightly, so for the time being, no one in the large group would notice their existence.

Muta is said to be a holy place, but there are no powerful figures who match the name to guard it, and the spirit seers in the latter half of the team are generally very weak.

So Milo easily got to Muta's feet.

After a series of elaborate and lengthy funeral rites, finally, as dusk approached, the cloaked figure leading the procession cut open his palm in front of the Muta Gate, injecting his fresh blood into the cracks of the stone tablet. Then, the heavy stone gate of the Muta Gate slowly opened.

Then, surrounded by the chanting and strange Nuo dance of a group of cloaked people, the so-called coffin of Vovados was carried into Muta.

...

The interior of Muta was not as gloomy as Milo had imagined. Although the aura of death was very strong, it was also accompanied by the light and shadow of burning flames. In comparison, the lower level of the tower in Derasrien City that nurtured the scarlet seedlings was much more like the underworld here.

In addition, Muta seemed to possess some kind of powerful bloodline recognition ability; only those wearing thick cloaks were qualified to enter the gate, while all the other accompanying bloodline followers stopped outside the gate and waited.

Milo naturally wanted to sneak in and find out what was going on, so the Night Weaver took the initiative to attach its spirit to Milo's body, successfully "tricking" Muta's identification.

But it just looks like Milo is wearing a tattered long dress.

I was forced to cross-dress again.

……

The interior of Muta felt similar to the underground cemetery at Lengyuan Peak. Everywhere the light reached was covered with various eerie murals and reliefs, and heavy stone coffins were neatly embedded in most of the walls. Over time, these stone coffins had become one with the stone walls.

It's easy to imagine that the narrow passageway was filled with the remains of the gods' descendants lying on the stone walls on both sides. The atmosphere here was extremely unwelcoming to the living, making it hard to breathe.

...

However, Vovadas's coffin was not nailed into the stone wall like the other deceased. He was the supreme being in this group, a being with divine status, and therefore deserved to be treated with higher honors.

The coffin of Vovados was placed at the central altar in Muta.

Five thrones, gleaming with the light of lava, stand here.

Three of them already have a matching stone coffin placed in front of them, and the thrones are also covered with broken armor, broken weapons, or stacked scrolls, ancient books and other items.

Vovadas's coffin was eventually placed on the steps in front of one of the remaining two empty thrones.

While the mourners around them began reciting eulogies...

Milo discreetly circled around to the back of the three thrones that were already occupied.

Each throne has ancient inscriptions on its back, describing the deceased's identity and achievements.

...

After reading the ancient texts behind the three thrones one by one, Milo couldn't help but ask the Night Weaver:
"You said you also came from Muta, so how could you not know that three other Vovadaos are buried here?"
