Chapter 891: Chapter 428: I Will Witness the Return of the Celestial Chariot

Even the real "Creator" is constrained by the world itself.

Thus, the Celestial Chariot that leads all things into the realm of light and navigates the long river of dreams is also bound to be restricted.

After all, once the Celestial Chariot completely spirals out of control and strays from its path, it signifies that the entire world will be plunged into peril.

Like a bus driver racing at full speed on a mountain road—

And the future outlined by the Fourth Chronicle doesn’t fixate on "fate" itself. It doesn’t enforce how such a "future" ought to occur... it simply predetermines that this "fragment" of the future will inevitably exist.

Therefore, the "Fourth Chronicle" is the only Great Calamity Curio that can circumvent the Celestial Chariot’s shielding against fate-based powers and directly affect the Celestial Chariot itself.

"...So initially, what Philip had to do was to bring the Book of the Celestial Chariot back into the world."

Annan now understood the mission that Philip Flamel once bore.

It had to be Philip utilizing the Fourth Chronicle, even if it meant consuming most of its durability.

And this relates to the "White Maiden" as well.

When the Royal Capital sank, the White Maiden also erased the "Elves" themselves—thus, the elves living outside the Royal Capital were also wiped out by the White Maiden.

Since then, there have essentially been no cases of elves surviving... which is why the elves died so cleanly.

Victor is a unique case, an extremely rare exception. Besides Victor, Annan never heard of a pure-blooded elf surviving the bloodbath.

Even if the Royal Capital suddenly sank, it’s impossible that all elves happened to be in the Royal Capital, even without leaving a trace of bloodline...

Initially, Annan thought there might have been a grand gathering or something, summoning the nation’s elves to the Royal Capital. But this explanation was too far-fetched.

And now, Annan finally understood.

For some reason, when the Elf Emperor used the White Maiden causing the Royal Capital to fall, he also instantaneously annihilated the elves!

This is probably the secret behind Philip Flamel, being a "half-elf," starting to age!

It was not a matter of aging at all, but rather that the elf blood within him had become depleted—

"It was because of this knowledge that after the Fourth Chronicle fell into human hands, it was bound to enter a phase of exhaustion, used less with each use. And in the Kingdom of Noah, because of human greed and desires, it would be depleted more quickly each time—probably ending up in the hands of the youth after a few generations.

"So Philip and Noah had an idea... that was for Philip to use the Fourth Chronicle to summon the Book of the Celestial Chariot."

A brilliant light erupted in Annan’s eyes.

He stared in amazement at the light!

"So, what Philip Flamel wrote down..."

—must have been, "I shall indeed Witness the Return of the Celestial Chariot!"

That’s why Noah allowed Philip to use the Fourth Chronicle for reincarnation, and why the Silver Baron didn’t stop Philip’s reincarnation, and why Philip possessed the properties of an "alternative to the Celestial Chariot"...

Everything was prepared.

This phrase indeed affected the Celestial Chariot.

When the forgetful Philip finally grew weary and gave up on "the last reincarnation," Annan descended into this world from the far end of Dream Realm.

—Then the Celestial Chariot was summoned.

That this matter itself was effective illustrates that it had indeed influenced the Celestial Chariot, placing Philip at the center of all events.

Although Philip’s written "prophecy" indeed affected the Celestial Chariot... the "Philip" from another part of this prophecy, in turn, became a part of fate itself and fell into the ruts of the Celestial Chariot.

This could also be considered a kind of "reaction force based on destiny."

Although the Fourth Chronicle itself is a constraint on the Celestial Chariot, when it is used to control the Celestial Chariot, it also causes this fate to fall into the ruts of the Celestial Chariot.

"So, the reason why Nicholas II captured Philip..."

"Must have been to ensure ’Philip’s’ survival."

Chiron didn’t hide anything this time and directly provided the answer, "He obtained this piece of information through some channel.

"Philip would definitely ’Witness the Return of the Celestial Chariot.’ Before he completely died, this destiny would finally come true... Nicholas II hoped to use Philip as material to activate his potential as the ’Celestial Chariot.’"

To put it simply,

as long as Nicholas II was in an absolutely enclosed space without anyone else, and completely killed Philip—as recorded in the "Fourth Historiography," it would take effect at the last moment.

Nicholas would then become the true Celestial Chariot!

He refused to accept his fate as a mirror, defeated and absorbed by Annan.

Instead, he chose to betray that fate—rising courageously, attempting to master his own destiny.

"Although he is my archenemy, the enemy I must defeat..."

Annan’s lips slightly curved upwards.

In his eyes, a light gradually brightened: "But I must praise him.

"I praise his magnificent will—not to succumb to the arrangements of fate, to raise his head in the sea of certain defeat, preferring to struggle to death rather than to submit.

"I must praise him!"

He said forcefully, "And then defeat him."

This unexpected praise, along with the sudden twist at the end, left Salvatore stunned on the spot, unsure of what to say.

Chiron and Victor, on the other hand, exchanged glances and chuckled.

"So, Your Majesty, do you need any more help?"

Chiron finally gave a friendly reminder: "Once you leave this place... it will probably become difficult to find me again.

"I must flee now. Currently, I am immobile, my power is only half, and it is difficult to fight against malice... Before you obtain the smoke mirror, I must play to the strengths of a centaur and hide in a place unknown to anyone."

"I do have one more question, but you probably won’t be able to answer it."

Annan shook his head and said honestly: "I really do not know their location... but I think you wouldn’t know either."

"—But I do know!"

A bright and sharp voice echoed from the cramped basement.

It was like the piercing voice of a child playing, which could be heard clearly from upstairs, even through windows and with headphones on.

The next moment, countless black mires surged and spilled through the gap under the door of the basement.

These black mires gathered into a small humanoid figure—about less than one and a half meters tall, with hair like black waterfalls entwined around it.

It wasn’t made up of fine threads like human hair, but was more like leaping flames, flowing water... that clear and tangible silk-like "hair," which seemed like simple clothing covering the humanoid’s body.

On her, apart from the "hair," the only foreign object was a Crow mask covering her face.

"Nice to see you again, partner~"

The God of Secrets—known as the Faceless Poet, an incorporeal demon, grinned and stretched out her right hand, raising two fingers in a gun-shooting gesture, playfully gesturing at Annan: "Missed me?"

That intense oppression—every cell on the body’s surface felt as though it was being pricked, bitten, made even the awkward Salvatore instantly recognize the true identity of the young girl.

God of Funerals, God of Secrets—the ancient deity with a thousand faces yet faceless, the Faceless Poet who sings nocturnes in the night.

Salvatore and Victor respectfully bowed their heads with a hand to their chests before the Faceless Poet.

And in the painting, Chiron also tapped his hoof and bowed his head along.

The Faceless Poet, like a celebrity unconcerned by the stage or pretentiousness, merely waved at the others.

Then she eagerly looked at Annan: "How about it, Annan? You now know why you’ve lost your memory, your mission... You’ve also clarified your will, clearly seen the path of your future, right?"

"Exactly."

Annan nodded his head.

"I must acquire the Book of the Celestial Chariot."

He stated very clearly: "Not only that, but I also need to obtain the Heart of Justice... I must also find the Storm and Heart’s Canticle for my sister.

"I want to gather all the mirrors. I will not let the Book of the Celestial Chariot belong to anyone...

"—I want to change this world."
