The moment the other party spoke, the whole world seemed to fall silent.

Anna could hear her own heart pounding.

She opened her mouth, but the sound didn't seem to come from her throat.

"Then where else can we go?"

"..." The Watcher unexpectedly fell silent.

"It seems you know the answer too. Besides here, we have nowhere else to go." Anna gathered her spirits and carefully examined the other party—she looked exactly like a human, and the language she used was standard Kingdom tongue. Coupled with the way she suddenly appeared, her origins could be roughly guessed, "I heard Joan say that you are trapped here. Have you never thought about leaving?"

"Miss Joan..." The Watcher revealed a gentle smile, "It seems she really brought this question back. But unfortunately, there is no real solution to it."

"But someone is trying to find the answer. And she is your kind."

"My kind?"

"I know you belong to the Realm of Consciousness—and there, a Divine Envoy named Lan has tried to change all of this." Anna quickly explained her intentions, "Achieving the goal requires two conditions, one of which has already been met, and I have brought the person who can solve the second problem. Next, we just need to open the 'Bridge of Light' and send him into the Realm of Consciousness—"

"I'm sorry, I don't know the so-called Divine Envoy you mentioned." The Watcher shook her head, interrupting her, "Besides, opening the bridge requires inserting the complete Legacy Artifact into the Bottomless Pedestal to activate the source of magic and make the Bridge of Light appear. You do know a lot, but I have no way to help you."

"Wait," Anna's expression finally changed, she said urgently, "Aren't you the Guide!"

"I am. But without the Legacy Artifact, I am powerless." The other party walked to Anna's side and gently stroked her hair, "Leave here, child, while there's still time."

The Watcher's figure began to fade, as if disappearing into the air.

Anna reached out to grab her, but couldn't touch anything.

"Finally, forget everything you've heard—if a Traitor Divine Envoy really exists." As she completely dissipated, Anna heard her murmur, "The War of Divine Intent is an attempt to seek answers. Such a long and vast process of solving the problem has still failed to reach a conclusion. How could it be solved by one or two people? If he really has such abilities, he naturally wouldn't need the 'Bridge' and 'Key'."

This... is the result of persevering to the end...

Anna looked down at her empty palm, and couldn't help but be stunned in place.

What should she do next?

...

Nightingale felt her movements becoming smoother and smoother.

Something seemed to have become different from the past.

She couldn't say exactly where it had changed, but she could sense the coordination in the mist—the distorted outlines in the past, although they could provide her with convenience, were also extremely dangerous blades. She had to maintain a high degree of concentration to ensure that she was not hurt by her own abilities.

But at this moment, the black and white world was as docile as a sheep, almost letting her take whatever she wanted. There was even a feeling of exhilaration between movements.

In just half a quarter of an hour, she had killed three Nest Mothers, and the enemy hadn't even touched the hem of her clothes.

In terms of individual combat achievements, even the Silence Disaster, which was equivalent to Transcendent Above, had not performed better than her.

This made Nightingale quite proud.

The only thing that made her feel a little uncomfortable was the sticky liquid hanging on her body—she could avoid the claws and tentacles of her opponents, but she couldn't isolate those smelly organs. This was also the price of going deep into the Nest Mother's body to directly take its weakness.

If it were Anna, she should be able to easily burn those disgusting sticky things to ashes, right?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but glance at Anna's location.

But it was this glance that made her shudder.

She saw Anna standing motionless, staring blankly north, as if she had been frozen by something. Several Blade Beasts were approaching her position from the sinkhole. Phyllis had already engaged one of them and was urgently calling out to Anna, but the latter seemed not to hear it at all.

What exactly is she doing?

From that angle, she should be able to clearly see Phyllis and the approaching enemies!

Nightingale suddenly turned around, completely ignoring the Heavenly Seas World monster chasing after her, and ran towards Anna's location as fast as she could.

However, the Blade Beast had already spread its thin wings behind it!

Damn it, it's too late—

At this moment, she saw a white line traveling along the ground, stretching from her feet all the way to in front of Anna—that should be the cracks between the soil. Although it was a contour that naturally existed in nature, because they were too complex and tiny, they would not be manifested by abilities.

If the contour lines of every piece of soil and every grain of sand were constantly changing, it would mean that she would have no place to set foot at all, and even if she concentrated her attention, it would be useless.

As for selectively connecting a small part of the cracks together and marking them as a pure white line segment, Nightingale was seeing it for the first time.

It was like a distinct guide, causing her to subconsciously reach out and grab it, and then pull it upwards with force!

The magic power in her body suddenly poured out, and the world of mist responded to her will—the line suddenly lifted, separating the scenery in front of her into two distinct sections!

On one side was the position where Anna was standing, with almost no change, while on the other side, the ground bulged high, forming a height difference of nearly one meter.

But that wasn't simply changing the terrain. In an instant, the Blade Beast in mid-air was also separated. The first half was still gliding in the air, while the second half suddenly rose a lot, as if the two were not on the same plane at all!

The evenly cut enemy fell to the ground one after another, landing not far from Anna, its body cross-section as smooth as a mirror.

At the same time, Nightingale also felt a feeling of extreme fatigue surge into her heart, and even standing steady became difficult—that was a symptom of excessive magic power consumption. Obviously, what caused this series of changes was not an ordinary ability display.

But she couldn't care about thinking about these.

Anna was still standing there blankly, as if everything around her was unrelated to her.

Nightingale supported her weak body, gritted her teeth and walked behind her, grabbing her shoulder and turning her around.

What exactly are you doing! Everyone is fighting to achieve your goals, but you easily put yourself in danger, do you want to make everyone's efforts wasted?

Nightingale originally wanted to scold loudly, but the words suddenly froze on her lips. She understood Anna, even more than Roland. Anna would never give up until the last moment. The only reason that could make her so distracted was probably one reason.

——She had found the Watcher, and the result was denial.

The words of reproach instantly vanished. Being able to stand after enduring such great pressure already required great courage.

"Did you see the Watcher?" Nightingale said softly.

"Yeah." Anna nodded slowly.

As expected.

Looking at the other party's wooden appearance, a huge feeling of heartache and sadness suddenly welled up in her heart. Although everyone had put in so much, in the end they still failed to reverse this destined fate.

She couldn't help but gently hug the other party into her arms.

"It doesn't matter, even if we fail, we will be with you until the end."

"Failure, why do you say that?" Anna's reaction was beyond her expectations.

"Uh..." Nightingale stuttered for a moment, "Did the Watcher agree to your request?"

"No, she refused. Without the Legacy Artifact, the Bottomless Realm will not open, even she is powerless." Anna shook her head.

"Then why are you—"

"But she gave me inspiration." Anna raised her head, her eyes that had been absent-minded now shone brightly, "Whether it's a Divine Envoy or a Watcher, they cannot violate the rules set by the gods. But if there is someone who really has the ability to change all of this, even without their help, they can reach the other side of the bridge!"
