Chapter 2186: Chapter 2181: Eternity

[Kill: Destiny Snake Behind the Door]

[Reward: SAN Points +28]

[Special Reward: Eternity]

[Current SAN Points 177]

[Replay the event?]

As the scene in front vanished, a series of familiar notifications finally sounded.

So the task summary was just skipped over, right?

Although Fu Qian’s first instinct was to complain inwardly.

Theoretically, it is indeed a form of upgrading, but it always felt like the warehouse was using this to avoid some sensitive information, like it’s shirking.

Of course, this isn’t the only aspect where it’s evident, Fu Qian looked down at himself.

After the warehouse declared it couldn’t help with state recovery, this time finally showed tangible manifestations.

Shattered.

Trying to deal with such a thing isn’t simple, especially since the warehouse generously gave away a heap of Resurrection Coins.

At this moment, he was clearly returned in the state of mission completion, without even an extra drop of blood.

The reason for this conclusion is that the Destiny Snake’s resurrection was related to the warehouse’s containment actions, which essentially showed confidence in the latter’s authority.

Though even the Destiny Snake did not know its esteemed name, among all the Superior Beings encountered till now, it’s the only one involving pure timeline authority.

For instance, Patch or the Prism of Radiant Transformation, neither tried to collect similar authority to counter the warehouse.

As for this Destiny Snake, the initial manifestation of automatic defense seemed indeed beyond the concept of time.

Returning to an earlier state after being hit, changing its form to increase resistance, even a classic example of time authority application.

Although in Fu Qian’s view, it might still fall short of completely rewriting the past like the warehouse.

Here, there’s a high-profile yet oddly peculiar behavior. From the perspective of the Abandonment King, the opponent’s form change still seemingly lacked a process.

At first glance, it might seem more challenging to deal with, but for Fu Qian, this actually weakened the possibility of involving time authority.

Not to mention another reference point—The Third Cause.

The time in Lan Fyla involved this special authority.

Though not equivalent to fate, it provided a case of violating causality.

Even with the subsequent task reward, the Slaughter Talisman.

All prove that in this world of Transcendent power, rootless wood and sourceless water can exist.

Fu Qian tends to believe that Lord Destiny Snake’s Impenetrable Scales belong to a similar category.

Forcing in such an ”effect” when necessary, steering destiny towards a favorable direction.

Could it be seen as the ultimate expression of luck?

Although there were limits when actually tested.

...

Returning to the initial question, if Lord Destiny Snake doesn’t have the authority to alter the past, where does its resurrection ability come from?

Firstly, it can’t be an infinite save-restore in the past; otherwise, as mentioned before, there wouldn’t be such a task.

Like a cat, inherently having nine lives?

That would undoubtedly be the simplest situation, easy to deal with, one after another, until they’re all gone.

But, aside from being an embodiment of fate, even if it can’t change the past, can it truly not grasp those unfulfilled fake histories?

That would be an underestimation.

And if it can grasp those destinies, is there a possibility to draw power from them?

Not by infinitely reloading past saves but by loading different timelines at the same point, without dying in those timelines.

In this way, the scene feels even more vivid.

But don’t forget that to achieve this, multiple timelines are fundamental, needing the warehouse’s cooperation.

The final conclusion is that if it weren’t for numerous abandoned attempts, this task wouldn’t have been so difficult.

”Pig teammates” aptly describe the situation.

Of course, the warehouse never fears boiling water, even showing signs of evading task summaries before.

Let’s see if there’s any indication in the reward.

[Name: Eternity]

[Type: Special Item]

The form of reward, similar to last time, still reveals no Inspiration.

Fu Qian skipped right to the special reward.

[Forged in the shape of two little fingers hooked together, a white key.

Graceful and slender, yet indestructible, symbolizing enduring existence.

The key is assembled in two parts but can only be used once.

When opened, it automatically records the fate within a certain range, making it an absolute secret.

When the key closes, the fate is released, returning to its owner]

[Note: Fate’s key doesn’t need a lock, for fate is the lock everywhere]

...

Oh? Does it match this task’s theme so well?

Carefully reading the explanation of this special reward, Fu Qian clicked his tongue in admiration, closely examining it in his hand.

The first half of the task was spent searching for the White Key, and in the end, the reward was indeed a key?

As described, it’s quite a beautiful key.

Pure white throughout, made of neither metal nor jade, its lines elegant like a work of art.

On closer inspection, the handle of the key indeed resembles two fingers interlocking, much like children making a pinky promise.

Although there’s no boundary between the two fingers, it relies on a clever structure to interlock, easily separable.

As for the effect after separation... what Fu Qian thought of first was the previous critique on Lord Destiny Snake.

A readable save file? To gain a resurrection opportunity?

According to Fu Qian’s comprehension, it seems inclined to such an effect.

If that’s truly the case, isn’t it what Lord Destiny Snake couldn’t accomplish, created by the warehouse using its authority and its remnants?

Even with only one use, don’t forget its indestructible nature, which indicates great stability.

There’s also absolute secrecy; this backup might possess high concealment as well.

Is this the power of a pinky promise?

Even if the vow seems faded, it harbors unknown eternity.

Considering this world’s danger, it’s undeniable that the warehouse’s move somewhat matches the task’s intensity.

Nodding slightly, Fu Qian expressed considerable satisfaction with the reward content.

Even the design.

However, while casually playing with it, he didn’t rush to use it but looked around instead.

This wasn’t even the final gain from this journey.

Everything around was as before, without any noticeable difference from before the task ended—yet that’s the problem.

Returned?

Previously, while doing tasks on the witch’s side, rewards were directly handed out with no chance to touch the warehouse.
