Devil's Bible

Chapter 97 The Wheel of History

Nems' voice was like a farewell bell, heavy yet indistinct.

Upon hearing Nems's words, Xibin paused, then spoke:
"The book of time allows you to glimpse a certain aspect of history."

"By simply combining it with fairy blood and using fresh fairy blood to refine the secret medicine, there is a slight possibility of glimpsing the realm of legendary species."

After his attack failed and this illogical phenomenon occurred, he realized that he was under the wheels of history and that struggling was futile.

This was the backlash of peering into history, which he couldn't bear. His eyes held fear of death, worry for his wife and children, and resentment at his own failure.

"My mother knows the secret medicine formula, and my wife has some alchemy skills!"

"My son is the best source of fairy blood!"

"I can also choose not to leave this book behind!" Xibin said, his eyes gradually losing all other emotion, leaving only a final resolute look.

"However, I want to make a deal with the Grand Knight."

"You want to use this to get me to take care of your family?" Nems could naturally see through the other party's intentions.

“That’s right. The course of history, that sliver of historical destiny, is not so easy to grasp. It could take decades!” Xibin nodded: “I’ve spent more than twenty years, but I’ve only seen a sliver of possibility.”

“You will need to take care of my family for at least several decades.”

“I’ve told them that when you go through the years with the Book of Time, they will understand.”

"It just depends on whether you have the capacity to tolerate others."

"Of course, I also showed some sincerity first. There is a problem with the cesspool. With your ability, you can find it by carefully exploring it."

When Xibin finished speaking, he glanced at the dung beetles carrying whale dung in the dung tunnel, and then waited for Nemes's reply.

"Give it to me!" Nemus reached out his hand almost without hesitation.

Benefits – The special abilities of fairies' bloodline, and the opportunity to glimpse legendary species.

Risks include the future dangers of not eradicating the problem completely, potential issues with the main Lillian family, and the inherent risks of this type of ability.

Judging from some of Xibin's actions, it's clear that his fighting spirit isn't particularly strong.

It was as if, even if Nemus didn't kill him, he wouldn't live much longer.

This is not surprising, after all, it is a glimpse into history.

It's perfectly normal for such forces related to fate to have some corresponding backlashes.

But so what? Nems seemed particularly interested in it at the moment.

The Breath of Holy Law itself contains revelations, and coupled with his understanding of fate, he knows that as long as he wants to continue climbing, he cannot avoid this kind of ability in the future.

"The tides of history, of course, are also waves, and are they not also a challenge!"

The confidence that emanated from within startled Xibin.

There was a time when he was just as confident, believing that his talent was no less than that of the direct descendants, which is why he resolutely brought his mother out to establish a branch family.

However, two or three years ago, he had already realized that it would be difficult for him to succeed.

He realized that he had not lost to Nemes, but to history and to fate. Amidst all these emotional fluctuations, Xibin's last bit of resentment dissipated.

He then tossed the Book of Time to Nemus and revealed the hidden pitfall he hadn't originally intended to mention.

"The number of history is not so easy to obtain; it requires matching abilities and talents. Otherwise, one will be abandoned by history, just like me, crushed by the wheels of history."

He also swung the Forest Sword in his hand, and the flying sword spun before embedding itself in front of Nemus.

"Kill me, and let me see your sword that dares to wield against history!"

Taking the Book of Time, Nemus held the book in one hand and grabbed the sword in front of him with the other.

"Secret Sword - Whirlwind Swallow!" The blade turned slightly, and in the next moment it had already transformed into a white line.

By combining magical techniques with swordsmanship, Nemus has revived his research in this life and has already shown initial success.

He slightly moved past the other person, and slowly sheathed the sword in his hand.

"That was fast," Xibin exclaimed, before his body slowly collapsed.

Blood gushed from the crevice, like the sound of the wind.

Nemes stood up, looking at the dead Xibin, vaguely trying to grasp something.

A white-haired person slowly appeared not far away.

"Wow, handsome!" Angel A teased as she approached, shattering the air of mystery that came with her closed eyes.

Previously, it was Angel A who was secretly monitoring Xibin's family, and it was he who provided Nemus with the right direction. His maverick nature allowed him to remain unaffected by fate-related abilities, thus ensuring that Nemus did not lose track of them.

"What's the situation on the other side of the cesspool?" Nems asked.

Calling Angel A over was also to add an extra layer of insurance, since Xibin's stats were not low and he also possessed special bloodline abilities.

But I never expected things to turn out this way.

Xibin's resistance was much weaker than expected.

It was an unexpected turn of events that I was able to obtain the fairy's artifact containing historical secrets.

Seeing that Nemes didn't respond to his teasing, Angel A pursed his lips in boredom and started to get down to business.

"It's highly likely related to the Floating World Society!"

"The number and condition of adult whale dung beetles are not normal."

Dung beetles keep pushing dung balls, but once they become adults, they stop pushing dung balls and simply sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor.

Once the other dung beetles push the dung ball over, they immediately take over and quickly drain all the nutrients from inside.

This will lead to a decrease in the output within the fecal canal.

That's why the church cleans up adult insects as soon as they are discovered.

"I think this abnormality comes from whale feces, which is too nutritious."

As soon as Angel A spoke, Nemus understood.

"There is a problem with the whale dung, or rather, there is a problem with the floating whale, which has led to a series of changes, thus causing the dung beetles to mutate."

"According to the system, after the dung beetles are killed, they are sent to have their last bit of value extracted."

"This kind of mutation can be detected relatively easily from the corpse."

"That's why I tried to prevent those trainee paladins from killing them."

"But why don't the people of the Floating World Society try to get rid of the adult dung beetles first?"

"That way, this wouldn't have happened?!"

Nems quickly realized the problem.

"Then there is only one possibility: the problem has been going on for a long time, but the Fushi Society has been trying to clean it up and cover it up."

"However, they suffered manpower losses during this period, and were also under extensive surveillance by the adjudication team."

"Some people are simply unable to handle this!"

On this point, the Floating World Society revealed its true colors.
