The Isle of Protection.

​​

A strand of black thread reached far into the distance.

The orange cat appeared on top of a building and observed the direction that the thread was leading to.

Reneedol had become unprecedentedly powerful.

But the Lord of Infinite Origins was even more powerful, capable of taking total control.

How would I be able to resolve this situation?

The orange cat appeared a bit unsure as he looked at the Thread of Fate.

However, he quickly resolved his emotions and began running across the roofs of these buildings.

At a certain point, the orange cat suddenly stopped.

The water flow of the underground river had become a bit chaotic.

The orange cat turned towards the downstream area of the river.

A huge round of quakes was rapidly spreading.

This quaking originated from the far end of the downstream region, spreading all the way to the Isle of Protection.

--------the Lord of Infinite Origins.

Some of his tentacles were severed to set Reneedol free, so he had most likely gotten insanely furious.

The orange cat blinked a few times, then turned to the Isle.

…Strange.

The giants, the elves, and even the pixies acted completely ignorant of these quakes.

Have their senses been obscured? Or are there any other reasons?

The orange cat felt a bit uneasy, so he hid in the shadow of a roof and silently waited.

Not too long later, a mass of black light floated up the river and landed on the Isle.

The black light only remained for a split second before it broke into numerous tiny tentacles that pierced into the heads of each living being.

None of them noticed anything at all.

Their gazes froze briefly but visibly, then they quickly stopped whatever they were doing and gathered around to search the Isle.

"Have you found it?"

"Is it over there?

"Is it inside the secret room?"

"-------Let's check the secret room"

The giants, elves, and every other species had coordinated to conduct a carpet-style search for something.

Even some of the fishes in the underground river had a fine tentacle attached to them.

These fishes were constantly diving downwards to search the bottom of the river.

The orange cat silently felt shocked.

The other party had clearly become angry, so much so that he took direct control over all living beings.

This is even more severe than I had thought; would Reneedol be able to escape this tight encirclement?

The orange cat stayed silent briefly before muttering in his mind: "Where is my sister?"

Another Thread of Fate appeared out of thin air, wrapping around his paws and reaching outside of the Isle.

-----this Thread of Fate had overlapped with the previous one, both of them pointing at the same location.

The same place!

So Reneedol is also heading to the divine palace of the three sisters of Fate?

The orange cat was surprised, then vanished from where he stood.

He reappeared near a certain part of the riverbanks and cautiously looked around.

The Thread of Fate had reached into a secluded bush by the riverbanks.

"Meow?"

The orange cat was a bit confused.

This is clearly the path leading to the divine palace of Death, why did Reneedol come here?

The orange cat then recalled the numerous holes he saw on the ceiling of the divine palace of Death.

--------if all the Myriad Deities had a passage in their palaces that led directly to the divine palace of Death, then the divine palace of the three sisters of Fate should also be the same.

The divine palace of Death seemed to have been a relay location.

The orange cat stepped forward and quickly found a piece of loose mud and dirt at a secluded corner of the riverbank.

He used his paws to gently push the dirt away, revealing a hole about half a person in size.

Water silently surged out of the hole before quickly calming back down.

------this was the passage that led to the divine palace of Death, the orange cat had already gone there once before.

The orange cat took a deep breath, slowly entered the water, and discreetly dived down.

This time, he no longer carefully observed his surroundings and instead sped up.

Dive.

And dive.

Using [Ground Shrink], he continuously moved down the passage.

Finally.

The orange cat once again came out of the passage and entered the empty submerged divine palace of Death.

He looked at the two Threads of Fate that were wrapped around his paw.

Both of them reached forward, bypassing the numerous holes on the ceiling and directly pointed to the empty far corner of the divine palace of Death.

------without the guidance of the Threads of Fate, probably no one would have taken notice of this secluded corner.

The orange cat slowly swam forward while he silently contemplated.

All the Myriad Deities had a passage that led directly to the divine palace of Death, but the three sisters of Fate did not.

What did this mean?

The orange cat approached and stopped in front of the secluded corner.

Wiping away the gunk that was accumulated at the corner, a few engraved words could be seen:

[The King of Deities authority belongs to Fate]

The gunk was slowly diluted in the water.

---------evidently, this place hadn't been touched in a very long time.

Reneedol probably used another path to enter the divine palace of Fate.

So the divine palace of Fate was hidden this well…

The orange cat was a bit suspicious and lightly tapped the text with his claw.

A tiny flash of light swiftly appeared on the engraved text.

At the same time, lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:

[Unique passage: Divine palace of Fate's hidden teleportation circle]

[Usage authority: The hands of the three sisters of Fate must touch this line of text in order to activate the teleportation circle]

The orange cat took a step back with a complicated expression.

What now?

After thinking for a bit, the orange cat took out something from his Inventory Bag with his paw.

-------this mass of dirt and dust was once the body of one of the three sisters of Fate, Lachesis.

Her body doesn't exist anymore, this bit of dirt is the only thing left of her.

And only the hands of the three sisters of Fate would be able to go through this path by touching this line of engraved text.

This mass of dirt included her entire body, so her hand should be part of it as well… maybe…

The orange cat put the mass of dirt on the engraved text.

Another flash of light appeared, enveloped Gu Qing Shan, and disappeared.

The divine palace of Death returned to silence.

…

A secret passage.

A secret passage that didn't have any water.

The orange cat suddenly appeared inside this secret passage and cautiously observed his surroundings.

This place was very quiet without the presence of danger.

However, the back of the passage was completely sealed off, leaving the only exit ahead of him.

The orange cat carefully approached the exit and looked out.

He saw Reneedol almost immediately.

Reneedol stood in front of the statues of three female Deities and appeared to be praying.

After a while, she finally whispered:

"The three Deities of Fate had become one. Deity of Fate from the past, Clotho, please grant me the Divine Artifact from countless years ago to retaliate against the Lord of Infinite Origins"

Rumble rumble-------

Among the three statues, one of them slowly retreated to reveal an altar.

A pendant clad in dim starlight was sitting on the altar.

Reneedol waved her hand to summon it.

After putting the pendant on, she turned to another statue and whispered:

"I, Atropos, have come to retrieve the Divine Artifact I left in the past------ you who have waited for so long since I went to the Dusty World, reveal yourself!"

The statue gave off another series of rumbling noises as it slowly retreated and revealed another altar.

This altar displayed a dress armor that was full of black light.

Reneedol stood still.

The dress armor broke into pieces by itself into numerous components, which surrounded her before it reformed into armor.

An almost non-existent black glow exited around her body, which faintly housed three dim stars.

Reneedol turned to the statue in the middle and whispered:

"The three Deities of Fate had become one. Deity of Fate from the past, Lachesis, please grant me the Divine Artifact from countless years ago to retaliate against the Lord of Infinite Origins"

This statue didn't move at all.

Reneedol's gaze became cold and muttered:

"My sister, everyone had always said that you were a psychopath as well as the strongest among us, but the ultimate winner was none other than I"

She slowly raised her hand.

Boundless starlight poured out of the glowing pendant and manifested into a bow in her hand.

Reneedol drew the bowstring.

An arrow made of nothing but starlight suddenly manifested between her drawn fingers.

The starlight bowstring was pulled tightly, then was let go.

The starlight arrow was instantly shot forward and struck the middle statue.

Boom!

The statue was forced to retreat.

At the same time, the third altar slowly rose up.

------but the altar was completely empty without anything in it.
