Chapter 766 - 31: A Perfect Match—Divine Thunder Technique

Gu Mo felt a slight sense of enlightenment.From this perspective, it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment, impulsive decision by this elder, made in a heat-driven frenzy—

but rather, upon detecting Gu Mo’s presence and realizing the different possibility he represented, he had carefully observed for quite some time and considered multiple times before finally approaching him.

However, the parallel world observation based on the Second Magic involves directly observing fixed records, histories, and macro records. Discovering Gu Mo’s situation was incidental and not a deliberate act of spying, so as long as he doesn’t directly interfere with specific events, it is indeed difficult to notice this gaze.

Therefore, despite Gu Mo finding the elder’s visit quite abrupt, it was likely a well-thought-out decision by the latter.

Tsk tsk, how should one put it, the Second Magic indeed holds quite a lot of prestige.

As the most extensively defined and detailed of the five great magics, it may no longer be shrouded in excessive mystery, but in return, it offers incredibly high potential and performance, especially in the manipulation of time and space, which is astonishingly expansive...

Unfortunately, the difficulty in mastering this magic is exceedingly high.

Unless the elder is willing to willingly transfer his knowledge, it seems there is only one rather undesirable way to acquire this Skill Badge.

With a slightly strange look in his eyes, Gu Mo gave the Gem Elder a deep gaze, collecting his scattered thoughts. After a brief moment of contemplation, he nodded rather straightforwardly, "To be honest, I am indeed tempted, so, in principle, I am inclined to agree to collaborate, but we need to discuss the details further..."

"Could you perhaps explain why you approached me?" He looked directly into the Gem Elder’s eyes, needing to clarify this crucial question.

"..."

"..."

"Because Your Excellency is the only one capable of accomplishing this task..."

The elder opposite clearly hesitated for a moment, then sighed and spoke. At this moment, he truly resembled an ordinary old man, caught up in painful contemplation over a troubling issue.

"Before your appearance, I had not witnessed the emergence of such potential. Based on my extensive research on the Vermilion Moon, I ultimately found that the possibility of obtaining the status and authority of a planetary UO through human interference was nearly impossible..."

"And I have a possibility?" Gu Mo raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, Your Excellency possesses that potential." The Gem Elder nodded solemnly, his expression both solemn and grave. If he hadn’t seen that possibility in Gu Mo, he wouldn’t have rekindled this nearly fanciful idea.

During the long period following the Vermilion Moon’s disappearance, he naturally considered how to completely neutralize the threat of the Vermilion Moon.

After all, the events of the past cannot be repeated; even under identical conditions, history might not yield the same results, especially given the Gem Elder’s current state... Thus, the lack of a suitable method has prevented any action from being taken.

The Vermilion Moon’s resurrection progress bar has been continuously ticking, and this process is particularly difficult to interfere with.

It wasn’t until the recent daily observation of parallel worlds by this Magician that he discovered a fluctuating parallel world line, revealing the possibility of a second "King of the Moon."

"I am indeed greatly honored..."

Gu Mo responded superficially, with playful humor, but internally, he was rapidly pondering.

The unique potential within himself...

Could it be due to the Divine Essence of life’s origin? The origin of life marks the beginning of a planet’s acquisition of sentience—without possessing this precious potential, a lifeless celestial body would never manifest vitality, nor would entities like UOs exist.

Therefore.

Perhaps I can seize this time, while the Vermilion Moon is temporarily gone, to replace it and become the brain of the planet, holding the position of manifesting planetary sentience.

Would taking advantage of the lapse in the King of the Moon’s sovereignty to claim it outright be possible? Although it seems this is what the Gem Elder implies, this act of usurpation feels somewhat improper, yet upon careful consideration, this is a chance not to be missed!

After all, the Gem Elder has always intended to resolve the Vermilion Moon issue, and I also happen to desire the status and authority of the lunar UO, making it a perfect match.

Since both parties share the same interest and meet their respective needs...

Furthermore, with the Vermilion Moon not voicing any opinion, it appears as a silent agreement, thus presenting no problem at all.

......

...

Fuyuki City.

In the direction west of the Deep Mountain Area, thirty miles straight into the vast primordial forest lies a castle veiled by layers of illusion techniques and barriers, restored to its previous calm. Perhaps due to the absence of three colleagues, the Servants temporarily lost their festive spirits.

Thus, the banquet ended hastily, with everyone finding a place to rest, and the silent castle naturally ceased any noise and commotion.

"Everyone, have a little to eat first..."

In a large room deep within the castle, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others sat in various parts of the room, somewhat dejected and weighed down with heavy hearts.

Carrying a basket, from which she leisurely took out various foods, Serra returned to the doorway, surveyed the group, and calmly spoke, "There’s no need to overly concern yourselves; the loss of personnel is unavoidable, and perhaps you will soon see those three knights again..."
