Beating Instances through Words Left by the Dead

Chapter 777: Chapter 344: He Yun’s Spiritual Ability Activation Surgery

Hymn Company’s one hundredth floor, inside Schultz’s secret laboratory.

This is the place with the highest level of access in the entire company, without exception. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ

Only the chairman can open it in person; remote authorization is impossible, and it cannot be opened with a key, password, or any other method.

Seated side by side near the front square of Hymn Company, Wu Chang and Erin looked down below.

"I was sitting right here when I saw the Bright Society invade the plane, Schultz transformed into a Praise Poem and fought with projections of three Bright Society members, holding his ground."

"Schultz is the most, well, second most intelligent person I’ve ever met across all planes. I’ve always believed that even without the All-Knowing Crystal, he would achieve great things."

"I don’t know what he saw in the All-Knowing Crystal, but I can sense that despite his arrangements against the Bright Society, his imaginary enemy is not just limited to the Realm of Reason but at a higher level."

When Wu Chang mentioned the origin of the All-Knowing Crystal, he had once briefly talked about events in the Hymn Company instance, but this was the first time he spoke in such detail.

Erin, observing the secret laboratory on the hundredth floor, was already finding it strenuous to accept the worldview of the real world.

Entering this world of future technology, everything around her was bewildering.

But as long as Wu Chang was there to explain, she listened attentively.

"It’s a pity that at that time I was stabilizing the Upper Divine Kingdom, unable to come to this plane with you."

"If I had been there, I might have been able to save your cousin."

When Erin’s times at stabilizing the Upper Divine Kingdom were brought up, Wu Chang felt a bit guilty, as during that period, he had entered more than just the Hymn Company plane.

He said, "Perhaps with you there, we could have saved Schultz together, but saving him was unlikely."

"At most, we could have protected him in the Desolate Realm, but once his plan began, there was no stopping it. He would have caused the instance plane to ascend to the Realm of Reason, and when the Bright Society struck again, he still wouldn’t have been able to resist."

This time Erin remained silent, having heard from Wu Chang that Joy, the leader of the Bright Society, possessed the power to withstand Authority.

Facing such formidable enemies, even they couldn’t win, let alone Schultz.

Wu Chang, seeing the setup was almost complete, tentatively said:

"Many things happened during the time you were guarding the Upper Divine Kingdom. Though I couldn’t save Schultz, I saved others."

Erin asked, "Are you referring to the vice-chairman mentioned in the press conference?"

Wu Chang: "Uh..."

This woman’s deadly intuition is always so sharp.

"Yes."

Erin didn’t probe further, waiting silently for Wu Chang to continue.

With his hands crossed in front of his chest, Wu Chang took a deep breath and said:

"The matter dates back to when we took the Earthly Divine Kingdom from the hands of Revelation, directing the Management Bureau to clean up Revelation in Wanghai City. Do you remember when we let a leader named Yu Na go?"

Erin nodded, "I remember."

At that time, they had saved Yu Na from the encirclement of the Management Bureau, and it was Erin who changed her clothes.

Wu Chang continued:

"When I took Yu Na to Wanming City, I met the God they worshipped, and from that God, I learned of the existence of the Pillar of the Present World."

"At that time, He told me that the outcome of the Pillar of the Present World and the Desolate Realm was already determined, unchangeable, and if you and I got too deeply involved, it would lead to our deaths."

"I said I didn’t believe it."

"Not long after, my college roommate Fang Hui was born with the Power of Root and was taken away by followers of the Evil God. In a twist of fate, in my effort to save him, I stumbled into a Pillar of the Present World; its name was Shelter No. 88."

Wu Chang then recounted in detail the events that took place in the Underground Shelter to Erin.

He had mentioned the Underground Shelter to Erin before but only in a summarized version.

This time, there was no avoiding it; he had to lay everything out.

At the end of the story, he said:

"The Bright Society’s plan was meticulously crafted, incorporating the Underground Shelter and the Desire Mother Goddess, trapping everything in a time loop—a deadlock, difficult to escape."

"The situation of the Underground Shelter matched precisely what the Revelation God said: the outcome was predetermined, unchangeable."

"I’m not someone who likes to meddle, but my rebellious nature at play, I can’t stand seeing someone on high, unchallenged, determining the fate of others as a matter of course."

"He Yun’s unyielding struggle, even when trapped, drew me in, making me want to help her. Eventually, the atmosphere caught up with us, and between us, it just..."

Having confessed everything, Wu Chang felt a weight lifted from his chest, letting out a deep breath.

With all his confessions out in the open, now he awaited Erin’s judgment.

Since there was no one else around, he was prepared—whether by persuasion or insistence—to resolve this matter today.

Although Erin hadn’t had her complete soul for long, she had watched a lot of romantic dramas during this time, quickly grasping the situation in front of her.

Her face showed neither anger nor sorrow; she simply looked at Wu Chang calmly and asked:

"Would you give up He Yun for me?"

Wu Chang shook his head, "No, nor could I possibly give up on you."

"Though it might sound shameless, I’ve never had a thick face, wanting to achieve a perfect ending in the life instance where I get to have it all."

Upon hearing this, Erin was not angry but instead showed a smile on her face and said:

"I’m happy you choose not to give up on her."
