Chapter 890: Chapter 427: The Restrainer of the Celestial Chariot

"Why do all the Transcendents in this world possess ’Elements’, and even need to awaken these elements to complete their sublimation; whereas in the First Era, the gods didn’t have ’Elements’, yet they were still able to complete sublimation?"

"Since the passage to the Light Realm has been sealed off in this world, there is no absolute eternal energy source, there can’t possibly exist a real ’Perpetual Motion Machine.’"

"How could the Transcendents obtain the ’rotation of the four wheels’ without having accessed the Light Realm?"

"Either through curse energy, or the cores of other worlds, or gifts from the gods... But more often, it’s through ritual plundering of the power of others, whether they know it or not."

Chiron slowly said, "It’s like the first bucket of gold for a businessman, mostly not clean. And The Worm can make it non-existent.

"After completing sublimation and reshaping the body, these powers are no longer needed—but before entering the Light Realm, one must rely on this powerful, nearly endless energy to open the pathway to ascension."

Just as "Professor Gray" Tricino Seti took the dreams of his students as a sacrifice to himself; as "Spirit Monk" Bernadino killed other Wizards and used them to create the Philosopher’s Stone to power himself.

Just as the Rotten Husband and Skeleton Duke did not hesitate to kill an entire nation, using their souls as a source of energy.

"The sublimation ritual itself does not contradict the phenomenon of the ’Non-Snake.’ Thus, after the Charioteer’s death, the whole ’sublimation ritual’ becomes exceptionally vulnerable to The Worm.

"As long as The Worm exists in the world, no Transcendent can complete sublimation. The rotation of the four wheels can never be established—in other words, if the Chariot guides ascendants to ascend, then The Worm completely blocks this path.

"The ancient Transcendents only needed to stigmatize their souls and possess the ’Book of Truth’ as a ticket, and they could be transported to the Light Realm by the Power of the Chariot.

"The Book of Truth is merely a ’ticket’ to ride the Chariot.

"The most stringent condition is only the ’stigmatized soul.’ Because upon entering the Light Realm, the Transcendent loses their body and soul, retaining only their ’color.’ If one has not completed stigmatization, they will melt into the ’Infinite Light.’"

Chiron slowly said, "Do you understand now, Your Majesty?

"—Why we must banish The Worm to the distant future?"

"...I understand."

Annan nodded heavily.

Only the eternal body reshaped by the Light Realm can suppress The Worm—no longer corroded by the force of ’entropy increase’ of The Worm.

And in any world where The Worm resides, no new pillars of life can be born.

Because as long as The Worm exists, it will destroy all ’rotation of the four wheels’—any world devoured by The Worm will no longer see any perpetual motion technology.

This is like allowing only a battle-damaged monster to play, while also sealing the opponent’s summons and special summons...

Only after the "Chariot" reappears, can one truly combat The Worm.

But at this point,

Annan couldn’t help but ask, "Then, what exactly does the Chariot mean? Or rather, why is it called ’the Chariot’?"

"What is a vehicle?" Chiron countered.

Annan paused.

"...A kind of carrier?"

"Exactly. Humans cannot carry overly heavy things on a journey, cannot travel fast enough, and sandstone, poison snakes, and swamps all harm travelers... That’s why people need vehicles. The journey across worlds is similar.

"Perhaps one person, two people can leave the world, but they can’t go far or fast. They can’t take others with them, can’t take the material of this world away, let alone the entire world... The Chariot, relative to this world, is like a vehicle to humans.

"The Chariot guides all beings, allowing the mundane to sublimate."

Sage Chiron, slowly spoke of things Annan had never heard, "The Chariot holds the authority to open the path to the Light Realm. This is the most essential power of the Chariot.

"But what it can do is not just that... Since the Chariot can go to the higher Light Realm, it can also go to neighboring worlds.

"The Chariot can carry the entire world along the River of Dreams, leaving its current location to find the next gathering point—meaning, no longer connected to The Void World, but linked to other worlds.

"This is not the original mission of the Chariot, but it holds great significance."

"Today’s ascension ritual, in reality, still relies on the power of the Chariot. Although the old Charioteer is dead, the Chariot is still mechanically transporting the qualified to the Light Realm... However, this process is not sufficient to combat The Worm.

"The ’Non-Snake’ still exists in this world, and the old power of the Chariot will gradually deplete. What you need to do is to become the new Chariot before the power of the Chariot completely dissipates—not necessarily to kill The Worm, but at least to maintain balance."

"This is your mission, Your Majesty,"

Chiron said with utmost respect.

But from Chiron’s words, Annan faintly realized something.

He remained silent for a long time, then suddenly asked, "Give me an honest answer.

"Is the ’Chariot’ truly unique to this world?"

Upon hearing Annan’s question, Chiron finally revealed a relieved smile.

"Of course not, Your Majesty. The River of Dream Worlds connects countless worlds; how could ours be so special?"

He answered cheerfully, "All worlds might possess their own ’Chariot.’ Or rather, they all had the opportunity to give birth to a ’Chariot’ at one point.

"What exactly those choices were, I’m not sure. But I know it must be a Genesis secret. Perhaps you could ask the old grandmother."

Though Chiron still left some room for ambiguity and did not speak his true thoughts,

Annan still understood his implication.

—The Chariot could carry the entire world away from this location.

The Void World, having been stripped of the World’s Heart, no longer holds any value as a "neighbor."

That is to say...

Chiron intended for Annan to move this world from its current position and seek another "neighbor."

Worlds without a Chariot could only be plundered by other worlds.

They lack the ability to mass-produce divine beings, relocate worlds, or seal the passageway between two worlds in the face of the "Chariot."

Yet, the Chariot could leave at any moment.

—This is the prerogative of invasion.

An invasion on a worldly scale.

The ancient dragons did just that.

Annan finally understood why the dragons in the past could invade the Void World as a "Legion"; and why afterwards, the frequency of invasions significantly diminished... or rather, why they were almost never seen again.

Because the Void World no longer had much left to plunder—it was essentially reduced to fragments, and the other worlds were too far away.

"Do you now understand what Philip’s mission was back then?" Chiron tactfully led on.

Annan had not even asked him this question. Yet, he already knew Annan’s purpose for coming here.

In that case, these matters spoken of by Chiron might be somewhat related to Philip...

Annan’s brows furrowed tightly.

Suddenly, he realized something.

—The Path of Sublimation is recorded in the second history.

—The Path of Mysteries is recorded in the third history.

The so-called fourth history...

Its true meaning is the history "beyond the Chariot!"

Annan’s eyes widened: "I understand now!"

Just as the Three Sirens are essentially the overseers of Yawen’s Genesis authority... the Chariot naturally would not lack countermeasures.

—Destiny is the trace of the Chariot.

But there is another kind of destiny—one unique and sole destiny that is not under the control of the Chariot.

That is what Philip wrote in "The Fourth History."
