Seer: I, Miris, have no obstacles in my evolution

Chapter 989 The Magic Box Opens (Part 1)

"Caution has nothing to do with strength. The combined strength of Hunyuan Tianzun and Xin is unparalleled, yet they are afraid of the power of a mere magic box."

Watching the departing figure of Hunyuan Tianzun, Miris couldn't help but complain.

This part of the plot is also extremely confusing. It seems that before arriving in the Leda Universe, most players thought that Hunyuan Tianzun and Qiling Yuanshen had a sweet romance.

As a result, the Primordial Celestial Venerable of Hunyuan ran away as soon as he arrived in the Leda Universe, and there was no further interaction between them. Now it seems that even the reason for his departure was very hasty.

"But it's good, otherwise if they really get together, wouldn't I be a third wheel? Now is the perfect time to catch up."

Miris then leaped into the air, and the body of the Light Dragon suddenly expanded. Riding the Light Dragon, Miris transformed into a streak of light that was barely visible to the naked eye and sped away.

It took Miris almost only two and a half minutes to steadily follow behind Hunyuan Tianzun.

Miris maintained a perfect sense of distance, keeping herself at a level that made it difficult for Hunyuan Tianzun to detect her tracking him, yet also prevented him from losing her.

As a light-type elf who wields dimensional power and possesses the strength of a temple hero, Miris is confident that she will not be outpaced by the speed of the Primordial Celestial.

As I said before, both Hunyuan Tianzun and Xin are extremely cautious people. Rashly displaying your power in front of them is very likely to fail to attract their attention.

Miris couldn't demonstrate her ability to freely control multiple elemental powers from the start; that would be too deliberate.

Miris planned to follow Hunyuan Tianzun for a while and then figure things out. He could also master the earth and wind elements when they passed through the other two star systems along the way, since he was faster than Hunyuan Tianzun anyway.

After following this for a while, Hunyuan Tianzun will definitely come up and warn Miris to leave quickly. If the warning goes unheeded, he will inevitably become angry.

After becoming enraged, there is a high probability that he will take action. In this way, Miris can effortlessly demonstrate his special abilities to Hunyuan Tianzun during the battle.

Then it became even more logical that Hunyuan Tianzun would only have two reactions after becoming interested in Miris's special power.

Either force Miris to reveal the method, or agree to Miris's request to join a team and then try to extract the method from her.

If Hunyuan Tianzun chooses the second option, the plan will succeed immediately. If Hunyuan Tianzun chooses the first option, Miris does not believe that he will be defeated by Hunyuan Tianzun.

While Hunyuan Tianzun desperately craved power, he did not lose his pride and principles. He would never use Xin's power to fight Miris, who did not have any ill intentions towards him.

In this case, Hunyuan Tianzun can only choose the first option again.

If all else fails, then show the Star Spirit Pendant given to us by the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe, since the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe was unaware of the actions of the other Temple heroes in expelling the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

Hunyuan Tianzun was the kind of arrogant person who outwardly expressed hatred but inwardly couldn't bring himself to do it. Out of respect for him, Miris, if he were a little thick-skinned, could have continued to follow behind him.

In short, Miris is not the kind of protagonist who only knows the classic hot-blooded hero path; he has plenty of schemes, tricks, and methods.

.........

In the prison of purgatory.

"I've finished speaking. So, Son of the Wind, what is your purpose?"

Nunn asked.

“I came here… uh,” Wind Child Lan paused for a moment after glancing at Disberd, quickly swallowing the truth, and asked instead:

Can powerful forces truly be summoned through the Holy Grail?

"What do you need the Holy Grail for?"

"This is it."

Wind Child Lan looked troubled. He had only asked a question to change the subject, and he hadn't really thought of a reply yet.

Unexpectedly, Disbowd had already seen through his clumsy acting.

"Lan, you don't need to hide it anymore. Your goal is that magic box, right? I could sense its presence from afar."

"Don't worry, although I'm interested in it, I won't do anything about it."

Disbord mercilessly exposed the lie, and to dispel any concerns, he revealed the origin of the magic box that even the Wind Child, Lan, did not know.

"Found in the Temple of Rost in the Summer Desert, everyone initially thought it was just an ordinary box, but some rumors in the world still attracted the attention of thieves."

"Guess what happened the night the thief decided to steal the box?"

Disbold asked and answered his own question.

"The lives of half the capital city, near the royal palace, vanished in a mere minute, but this was not the end; divine punishment followed immediately..."

"Curse?"

"Water surged across the heavens and earth, flames danced, a gale howled, and the earth trembled... Then appeared the guards who had just returned from patrol."

"Mother."

"Yes, your mother was among that group. The Guardians paid a heavy price to finally seal everything away. You should have been to Lum's Wonderland, right? It was Fali who ultimately sealed everything away."

"So, I advise you to think it through before you speak."

As Disbord finished speaking, Wind Child Lan felt extremely confused.

"If this Pandora's box is going to bring disaster, then why..."

"It's not just a disaster..."

Nuen, the Source of Vastness, spoke with difficulty, when the voice of the awakened primordial spirit suddenly came from behind.

"Teacher Nunn!"

"I will heal you immediately with the power of the Holy Grail!"

Qi Ling Yuan Shen anxiously activated the Divine Revelation Holy Grail, and a ray of holy light shone down from the Holy Grail, restoring a sliver of clarity to the Vast Source, Nuen, from its listless state.

Is this the aura of a deity? Truly extraordinary.

[The primordial spirit has been awakened... It seems the power of the divine artifact has been awakened; things are getting more and more interesting...]

"Lord Yuan Shen...you're back! It seems we're finally saved."

"That's enough, Qiling, we have more important things to do."

Nuen, the Source of Vastness, waved his hand to signal the Spirit Awakening to stop, knowing just how bad his condition had become.

For the sake of his last hope, he had to use his remaining life force and the power of the Holy Grail in a more important way.

"Opening the Pandora's Box requires a considerable amount of energy, and perhaps only the Holy Grail can accomplish this. As Isis said, if it really comes to a last resort, perhaps we can only rely on this unknown power."

Nuen, the Source of Vastness, had a solemn expression.

"We don't know what this Pandora's box will bring, whether it will bring light or darkness. We don't know, but even if it is evil, we can't predict whether it will punish another kind of evil."

"I think since she made this decision, it means we've really come to this point."

Listening to the extremely solemn account of Nunn, the Source of the Vastness, a sense of gravity rose in the hearts of everyone present.
