Chapter 1895 Lilith's Memories. VII
Upon hearing this, Felix resumed the vision with a solemn expression. He watched as the vision kept resetting each time it arrived at the moment of his death.
It was like the moment he died, the universe lost its anchor and it reseted to the very beginning.
"Why are you showing me this? Are you asking me to help this cutie survive or what?" Lilith asked with an irritated tone.
The vision had already been replayed five times...Each time, there were slight differences, but the ending was always the same.
Felix died through suicide after spending his entire life searching for a way up, a way to reach divinity, but to no avail.
The moment he broke through the origin realm, he lost his chance forever.
"Hmm? Is that what you want?" Lilith suddenly raised an eyebrow after noticing that the vision paused for a moment before continuing to play...She took it as a response at last.
"Why will I do that?" Lilith knitted her eyebrows, "What do I have to gain from this mess?"
Abruptly, the vision collapsed after a flash of light and the universe's heart reappeared again.
Lilith and the rest turned to look at it and before they could react, the universe's heart started to glimmer brightly while getting bigger!
"This...Don't tell me?"
Felix's eyes widened in disbelief, a reaction shared by the rest of the tenants.
"Are we about to see what's on the other side at last?!" Apollo said while clapping his hands eagerly.
"My heart is beating so fast...What if there is nothing? What if there was something? Ahh! I can't think!" Candace released a low scream in excitement and dread.
Regardless of their reactions, everyone's eyes were affixed to the expanding universe's heart.
After it grew to a decent size, the light began to die out, leaving behind a circular rippling mirror. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
"Huh? There is nothing..."
Felix and the others' excitement soon turned to confusion after seeing that there was nothing behind the universe's heart.
It was a literal black screen...Yet, Lilith's reaction said otherwise.
"How extraordinary..." She was able to murmur only those words before the universe's heart sealed shut, returning as a mere dot.
"What's going on here." Felix frowned as he paused the vision. "Did we see the same thing?" "Most likely not." Asna said, "I think she has altered her memories."
"Why would she do that?" Thor and the rest of the tenants were just as bewildered. Knowing that he wouldn't receive his answer like this, Felix resumed the memory.
"So, that's how it is?" Lilith smiled, "If I helped this cutie fulfill his call, I get access to the other side?"
With those many resets, Lilith was easily able to understand that Felix's goal was the death of the three rulers and rescuing his beloved, Asna.
"Why not? I am dying of boredom either way." Without double-checking anything, Lilith showed an enthusiastic grin as she watched the new vision, studying it fully this time.
Then, she attempted to manipulate it by showing up before Felix and enslaving him with her lust mark while he was still young.
However, the moment she did this, Felix lost his autonomy.
Under the taken-back looks of the viewers, the cycle ended right there and then, before starting again from the very beginning.
"Interesting, I can't control him or it is considered a failure...But," Lilith held her chin thoughtfully, "What does this reset imply?"
"What does she mean?" Nimo asked with a confused tone.
Felix and the tenants had serious expressions as he anwsered, "She is wondering if this reset is related to the vision, or the real universe."
"Wait, you are considering that the entire universe might reset every time your journey is finished?" Nimo raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"It's indeed crazy to think about it, but there is a chance that the universe does reset each time Felix's voyage is halted." Asna clarified with a solemn tone, "Since he is believed to be the universe's consciousness on a path of rebirth, it's not farfetched for him to be considered as the Anchor of the universe."
"Isn't that a bit too much? We are talking about a universe's reset, only the universe's consciousness can..." Apollo scratched his cheek sheepishly, "Forget it, I can totally see him installing such a counter-measure."
If it was anyone else, the tenants would have never bothered to waste their time on such a crazy theory. But, this was related to the universe's consciousness, the true ruler of all.
He was the only one capable of pulling such a crazy concept and no one could do anything about it.
Soon, Felix and the tenants watched as Lilith tried the easiest options to help Felix reach his goal.
She even arranged a situation where she saved him to gain his trust and then told him about everything she knew and what he needed to do.
But, the moment she did this, the universe came to a grinding halt and the cycle began a new one.
"Interesting, I need to help him without him losing control or knowing about the truth." Lilith smirked at the challenge, "This is going to be fun."
Felix and the rest of the tenants were left to watch a true manipulative mastermind in action, leaving them with widened jaws at how she came up with a plan that altered the entire future of the universe for Felix's sake.
It took plenty of trial or error, but eventually, she locked on a single plan that seemed to have the highest chance of success...It was exactly the plan she used on Felix!
Felix moved past the memories of the vision, wanting to see Lilith in action personally. Now, the memory orb showed Lilith returning from the depth of the stone of reality's miasma with the same expression she entered with.
"You had enough of wasting our time?" Uranus sneered as he turned around, "Let's get the hell out already."
"Good thing you didn't abuse your laws at least." Eris nodded at Lilith.
No one seemed to suspect a thing like Lilith was gone for a mere couple of seconds...In reality, she was inside the vision for centuries if not more, to perfect her plan. While she had emerged as a different being entirely, no one was able to pick up on the changes. "It was fun to try, I was very close to touching the stone," Lilith replied lazily as she followed them.
"Oh? I wonder what would have happened if you did touch it." Eris wondered out loud.
"Probably instant death."
Uranus scoffed with a hint of dread in his eyes, quite terrified by the stone of reality. Ares kept his silence, unbothered by the whole situation.
Sometime later, the four upper unigins escaped the Echoing Tower and returned to the Eternal Kingdom, updating the three rulers on the results.
After some back and forth, they were excused and Lilith returned to her Palace.
The only difference between this scene in the vision and the real world was a tint of craziness buried behind Lilith...
'What's going to get me banished, but raise no suspicion?'
She wondered with a widened grin as her eyes reflected the gate to the celestial dimensional pocket, some wonderful and crazy ideas were roaming her mind...
