All the "Aeons" present finally noticed "Fuli".
Judging from the reactions of these "Aeons", They seemed to know Him—or rather, not exactly know Him personally, but were aware of "Fuli". Thus, They were somewhat surprised as to why He would appear here.
It seemed Herta's intuition was correct. The "Remembrance" Aeon was not born during the Swarm Disaster era; His birth occurred far earlier than the Swarm Disaster.
But before these "Aeons" could do anything to "Fuli", the cracks on this "Remembrance" Aeon's body, accompanied by a crisp sound, completely shattered!
In the next second, that ice crystal body was seen shattering into countless fragments of varying sizes! Suddenly, with a whoosh, as the ice crystal fragments fell downwards and were about to scatter in all directions, a sky-clearing cyan ghost fire suddenly burst forth from them, the fierce flames engulfing every single fragment!
And then, they burned to ashes!
The Ranger who was once helpless when facing an "Aeon" could now casually destroy an "Aeon's" divine body, sitting on equal footing with Them.
This was "Revenge". An indispensable part of "The Hunt".
Although this "Fuli" was already practically dead from that previous arrow, Leon still hadn't exacted his revenge for that palm strike.
"The Hunt" never held onto a grudge overnight.
The ice crystal fragments entangled by the ghost fire scattered in all directions, falling like a special rain.
Leon walked out from the rain of fire.
A moment later, the ice crystals and the flames extinguished and perished together.
The rain of fire obscuring the line of sight dispersed, and Leon officially entered the field of vision of the four "Aeons". After sensing this powerful might that could be felt even from afar, "Akivili", "Aha", "Xipe", and "Qlipoth"—the four "Aeons" present—simultaneously gathered their surprised gazes upon Leon.
They looked at this suddenly appearing fifth "Aeon". And—a brand new established "Path"!
"Oh my god!" "Aha" shouted in feigned exaggeration, sounding exceptionally surprised.
"'Akivili', I'm not seeing things, am I? Did you see that? What is this?"
"Aha" laughed heartily, His laughter sharp. "A new 'Path', a new 'Aeon', fun, this is too fun! To think that two newcomers could appear in succession!"
It wasn't just "Aha". What He spoke was the shared thought of all the "Aeons" present at this moment, it was just that They wouldn't express Their feelings as exaggeratedly and straightforwardly as "Aha".
Besides "The Propagation", another new "Path" was actually born during the same period, and the time of their births wasn't far apart. There was no difference from being closely glued together.
This was something none of the "Aeons" present had expected. Could it be that this newly emerged "Path" before Them was related to "The Propagation"?
They all thought this in unison.
After all, a new "Path" that emerged immediately following the fall of a "Path" would more or less have some connection to the fallen predecessor.
For example, last time with "Remembrance" and "The Enigmata", "Fuli" and "Mythus" had a dependent relationship; the latter was able to be born precisely by depending on the former.
The last time two "Paths" emerged in succession was Them. But... according to the immediate feeling of the four "Aeons" present, this new "Path" and "The Propagation" had absolutely nothing to do with each other.
Not even a shred of a relationship.
Then this was very strange.
"Hey, newcomer, tell Aha what your name is, Aha will show you the ropes from now on!"
"Aha" wasn't as rigid as the others, directly asking.
"'The Hunt' Aeon, Leon."
Meeting the gazes of the four "Aeons", Leon's answering voice was neither servile nor overbearing.
"'The Hunt'?" "Akivili" was quite interested upon hearing this name.
So this was the "Path" that had chosen him as a successor one step ahead of Himself.
Others might not know the inside story, but He knew a bit.
The one before Him was an "Aeon", but also not an "Aeon"; at least this Path named "The Hunt" was not trailblazed by him.
After all, before Leon formally appeared, when He had just noticed his presence, he already had a very thick aura of "The Hunt" on his body. But he hadn't reached the level of an "Aeon" like he had now.
If this Path of "The Hunt" was truly trailblazed by Leon personally, then he should have been an "Aeon" right from the start, and he wasn't an "Aeon" just now.
"Akivili" had just sensed a very strong fluctuation of "Causality" from the Path of "The Hunt". Therefore, He speculated that this Path named "The Hunt" was highly likely from the future.
Leon himself also came from the future and was not a person of this era.
He was chosen as the successor by the "Aeon" governing this Path of "The Hunt" in the future, just waiting for Him to fall and the Path to be without a master, so he could logically ascend to the throne.
And the reason Leon would come here from the future was likely, just like Them, aiming for "The Propagation".
"Akivili" thought of that arrow intercepted by "Fuli" just now.
"Fuli" had drawn everyone's attention, so that arrow shot by Leon carrying a fairly obvious "Aeon" might naturally couldn't avoid being detected by Them.
Everything was clear.
However, there was still a question that "Akivili" couldn't figure out.
That was exactly how Leon managed to increase the width of the Path of "The Hunt" so much all at once?
That arrow from Leon just now likely came from that "Hunt" Aeon He hadn't seen before.
That "Aeon" gave him a chance to launch an attack using His account. But precisely because of this, it was strange.
From the might of the arrow, it could be seen that the "Hunt" Aeon was only on equal footing with Them in strength, and hadn't reached the perverted level of Leon.
After all, even if the true body's power might exceed the arrow, it couldn't exceed it by too much.
Otherwise, why would Leon hide his strength just now?
In other words, Leon's current level, the account he suddenly logged back into, and the wildly surged Path of "The Hunt" all originated from himself.
What miraculous means. "Akivili" felt amazed.
The sudden expansion of a "Path" wasn't without precedent. Wasn't "The Order" the best example?
However, "Akivili" truly couldn't see what Leon relied on to expand "The Hunt".
Today could be considered broadening His horizons.
"Leon, Leon, okay, Aha will remember you!"
"Aha" laughed loudly, looking as if He had found a new toy for "The Elation".
"Child of man, what do you seek?"
"Xipe" didn't open His mouth, but that ethereal voice originating directly from Him rang directly in Leon's head.
"What I seek is the same as you all."
Leon looked at the insect egg, speaking word by word, "It is merely the death of 'The Propagation'."
The three "Aeons" present upon hearing this, all cast their gazes upon "Qlipoth".
As contracts are a part of "The Preservation", He had reached a contract with "Tayzzyronth", so logically, only He could judge "Tayzzyronth".
If Leon wanted to snatch the prey away, he'd have to see if "Qlipoth" agreed or not.
"Qlipoth" remained silent. He looked at Leon, not knowing what He was thinking.
After a while, He raised His hammer and at the same time waved towards Leon. The underlying meaning was very clear——
You know the rules. If you want it, come take it yourself!
"Qlipoth" couldn't violate His own oath, so if Leon wanted to personally terminate this authority of "The Propagation", he'd just have to defeat Him and snatch it by force.
Moreover, Leon suddenly popping up and saying he sought the same thing as Them made it seem as if He couldn't kill "The Propagation", which made "Qlipoth" somewhat annoyed.
No, although Leon from a bodily sensation perspective was indeed a bit stronger than Himself, but why was it so certain that you could kill It, but He couldn't?
Just because those in civil engineering are inherently inferior?
The civil engineering bro, was enraged!
Leon: If you could kill It, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to specifically make this trip.
"Sure, just what I wanted!"
It didn't matter that "Qlipoth" didn't hand it over; rather, this proposal was exactly what he wanted.
Leon had been holding back for a while when facing "Aeons" previously, running into one could mean death, and he could only rely on superpowers for hard crowd control, but now he had finally obtained an equal level of strength.
How could this not make him eager to try?
One day the dragon raises its head, and the Yangtze River will surely flow backwards!
The current Leon truly felt terrifyingly strong.
Of course, that precious opportunity to breathe out definitely couldn't be used on "Qlipoth", the two didn't have a blood feud, so he definitely couldn't waste such an opportunity.
It was even less necessary for the half-dead "The Propagation".
With only an "Authority" remaining, relying on the lethality of the already transformed "The Hunt", he had ample confidence to easily resolve this scourge that was supposed to leave a stench for millennia.
Leon wanted to save the opportunity to breathe out for when he went back.
"Nanook" and "Oroboros" were both in the present world, these two were the real big troubles, he definitely had to leave the grand gift for these two bastards.
Wait and see which of the two needed a beating the most and kill Him directly!
"Xunzheng." Leon softly called out to his old friend.
Xunzheng, which had just triggered a master-protecting mechanism, guarding in front of him ready to block that palm strike from "Fuli" for him, but was directly blown away and fell to the ground, was seen slightly moving its body.
In the next second, summoned by its master, it stood up from the ground.
Immediately afterwards it levitated in the air, transforming into a fleeting shooting star, directly flashing in front of Leon with a godly speed akin to teleportation.
"Akivili", "Aha", and "Xipe", seeing this, consciously scattered to the left and right, making room for the two to clash.
"Akivili" used His index finger to draw a circle in the void.
Using the power of "The Trailblaze" to carve out a domain, enveloping both Leon on the ground and "Qlipoth" in the sky within this domain.
The galaxy was already riddled with holes to begin with.
Because of "Tayzzyronth" and "Oroboros", these two beasts among beasts, this cosmos was practically no different from being half-destroyed.
If the full power of two "Aeons" wasn't controlled a bit more, then this galaxy would truly be finished.
Although this clash would highly likely just stop before things went too far.
Leon gave "Akivili" the feeling of knowing his limits; that Path of "The Hunt" he practiced faintly exuded the true nature of "restraint".
As for "Qlipoth", this Aeon of "The Preservation" still had "Oroboros" suppressed within His body; a single hair could move the whole body, so He was even less likely to fight for real.
"How is one layer enough? If people see it, they'd think we can't even afford to provide a battlefield to unleash full power!"
"Aha" said so. "One layer per person!"
He immediately also made a move, adding another layer of "The Elation" protective shell over the domain of "The Trailblaze".
The half-closed eyed "Xipe" smiled.
He didn't say a word, just acting like the other two, adding His own share to the protection, slipping "The Harmony" on the outermost layer.
"Language of an unknown creature" "Qlipoth" promised Leon.
As long as he could make Him take a step back, then this spar would be considered his win. He could deal with the authority of "The Propagation" himself.
"Then you underestimate me too much."
The eighteen "Aeons", no matter which one, Leon could steadily win against now.
It wasn't because he had truly become strong to the point of invincibility.
"The Hunt" wasn't that absurd yet, or rather, no matter how much any "Path" was strengthened, it was impossible to truly sweep all enemies aside directly.
Of course, it was even less because the other "Aeons" were weak. It was simply a level crush.
It was mentioned before that a "Path" is not a dead object; it is something with the potential for growth.
Just like "The Order", which was massively strengthened due to the Swarm Disaster, Leon's current situation was just like it, except He had solidly risen relying on the environment.
He, on the other hand, was the type to add points through a system-like method.
Every "Aeon" possessed Their own growth potential.
If we say the max level is LV100, then right now most "Aeons" are still hovering between LV80 and LV90, just waiting for a sudden enlightenment in the future.
Leon, however, skipped this step, relying on the ability to pre-fetch the future to directly pre-fetch the position of the "Hunt" Aeon that had reached its end after enlightenment.
The perfect form from three myriad years later.
In other words, his current level was LV100.
Other "Aeons" could naturally also reach LV100, but that was a matter of the future.
They weren't right now.
With such a high level crush, wouldn't Leon win no matter who he faced?
If it were a situation where everyone was LV100, then Leon was certain he wouldn't gain much advantage against anyone.
He wouldn't dare to guarantee a steady win like he was doing now. Truly, if they were the same LV100, he wouldn't say it's a steady win, but rather "I will win."
"The future is uncertain, but at the very least, the current you is not qualified to underestimate me like that."
However, the future is the future, and now is now. Not being able to stomp noobs in the future wouldn't prevent Leon from stomping them now.
Want fair competition? No problem!
If you have the capability, go level up to LV100 yourselves. If you can't level up, you can't blame him, right?
It wasn't like Leon actively wanted to stomp noobs, wasn't this all due to Their own problems?
Think more usually about whether you've properly refined your "Path", whether you've properly fulfilled your "Ideals".
"Qlipoth" struck a hammer in the void, using the sound of the hammer as an answer to respond to Leon's words.
This phrase could also be reversed onto Leon himself.
Whether there was underestimation or not, and who was underestimating whom, could only be known after fighting.
You newbie are so arrogant, this veteran is truly going to teach you a lesson!
"Then—"
Leon, this burning man enveloped in sky-clearing cyan flames, had the only exposed eyes on his entire body turn serious in an instant.
"Come!"
As the words fell, Xunzheng immediately entered a standby state, standing before him.
"The flying rainbow slays Zaochi, the cloud arrows drive out the Borisin!"
Leon gave a loud shout, continuously applying buffs to it.
"Auspicious stars aid the hunt under the moon, flowing mists pursue the abominations!"
The momentum on Xunzheng's body rose steadily, the aftershocks causing the four layers of protection from the three Paths to tremble.
"The grandmaster holds the Chiyi, the white arrow decisively shoots the target!"
With every word Leon spoke, changes corresponding to the effect would appear on Xunzheng.
"The heavenly bow vanquishes the sworn enemy!"
Attached with the newly acquired ability after "The Hunt" unsealed its limits, an arrow of "Hunting" that ignored all defenses, the "Lux Arrow" gathered on Xunzheng's bowstring!
In a short while, the charge was complete!
"Resonance Formation: Star Hunter!"
Xunzheng drew its string autonomously, an autumn moon crossing the sky, the arrow shot out fiercely!
Thump—!
"Qlipoth" raised His hammer and struck it in front of Himself.
A high wall of solid stone erected, a crystal wall of amber closely followed, and behind the two was a circular foundation disc, three layers of protection surging forth directly alongside "Qlipoth's" hammer strike!
Macronigma Comet Wall, Subspace Crystalline Barrier, Great Attractor Base—the famous three great defensive means of "The Preservation", each hailed as a planetary defense line!
With all three combined, it was claimed that even the full-powered strike of an "Aeon" would find it hard to break!
Although "Qlipoth" felt Leon was too confident in every way, His body honestly made extremely serious preparations for his confidence.
With a swish, the shot arrow was suddenly enveloped entirely by the sky-clearing cyan flames mid-flight!
Bang!
The "Lux Arrow" struck dead center on the wall of "The Preservation"!
Rumble!!!
Macronigma Comet Wall, Subspace Crystalline Barrier, Great Attractor Base—first broken, second broken, third broken! The heavenly arrow moved forward indomitably; the three types of protection did not slow its speed by half a fraction!
This was the authority of "Hunting"!
In the third myriad year, hunting became the purpose itself, a top-tier attack method that ignored all properties!
The "Lux Arrow" was seen slicing through obstacles all the way, looking like it was about to strike "Qlipoth's" chest directly!
When it was just a tiny distance away from the massive Amber—
Seemingly intentional, the "Lux Arrow" suddenly stopped!
In the instant it stopped, the heavenly arrow that hadn't hit the enemy overflowed with the mighty power hidden within, and a vast storm was whipped up out of thin air with It at the center!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The aftershocks whipped up from the heavenly arrow continuously battered "Qlipoth", and before "Qlipoth" could react, He was forced to take a step back by the storm.
"Conceded."
Leon cupped his fists, the sky-clearing cyan flames shining brightly on him.
Everything was calculated by him; stopping before going too far would neither injure "Qlipoth" nor fail to fully display his strength to the four "Aeons" present.
Sufficient deterrence could save many unnecessary processes.
Although the other three "Aeons" didn't show it like "Qlipoth" did, Leon was very clear that every single one of Them wanted to test his depths.
None of them didn't want to know exactly what level this newly ascended "Aeon" was at.
Was he truly as unparalleled as the momentum he displayed, or was it just a facade?
He believed that after this arrow, absolutely no "Aeon" would underestimate him anymore.
"Oh, my Akivili!"
"Aha" deliberately said in a translation-dubbing accent.
"This newly arrived newbie is so badass, Aha looks like He can't beat him either!"
"Aha" sobbed hypocritically.
"Aha has totally lost face, the veteran has totally lost face!"
"Akivili" looked at Leon without speaking.
This was considered a junior on the Path of "The Trailblaze"; seeing him ascend to such a high position as an "Aeon" with His own eyes now, He still couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.
Like the two of them, "Xipe" also paid close attention to the battle.
He even rarely opened His eyes, unwilling to miss even a tiny detail of this spar.
And the final result of this spar also inevitably made "Xipe's" expression a bit grave.
The one who gained the most from the Swarm Disaster was Him.
Having annexed "Ena", "The Order" became the second face of "The Harmony", which made "Xipe's" strength surge tremendously in an instant.
But facing this arrow from Leon, searching Their hearts, They didn't have much confidence in taking it head-on either.
This latecomer, his strength was far more terrifying than They had imagined.
Perhaps in the future, when Their Paths surged massively like "The Order", They could win against him.
But facing him right now, absolutely no one could win.
"Qlipoth" remained silent.
By the time He snapped back to His senses, He had long been forced back more than a step by the aftershocks.
Originally, "Qlipoth" was closely sticking to the authority of "The Propagation", but now He had drawn a large distance from the authority of "The Propagation".
Undoubtedly, Leon had won this match.
An overwhelming victory; "Qlipoth" conceded defeat.
Willing to accept the loss of the bet, the authority of "The Propagation" was given to him.
"Qlipoth" just stopped at His current position, not moving another half-fraction.
Although He didn't explicitly admit it.
But the underlying meaning of this action was undoubtedly letting go and handing the authority of "The Propagation" over for Leon to handle.
"I am the Heavenly Emperor, I shall suppress all enemies in the world."
Leon cupped his hands to "Qlipoth", bowing politely.
"Qlipoth" was still very worthy of his respect; He exerted the most effort during the Swarm Disaster, and afterwards even suppressed "Oroboros" with His own power for hundreds of Amber Eras.
Of course, this action naturally also meant that he had formally taken over the authority of "The Propagation" from His hands.
"Xunzheng." He softly called the bow standing in front of him; what he wanted it to do was all contained within this call.
Xunzheng received the order.
It immediately rose high into the sky, flying towards the authority of "The Propagation".
In merely a moment, it flashed right up to it.
In the next second, Leon suddenly disappeared.
The place where he just stood only left a bit of scattered flickering flames that had yet to extinguish.
At the same time, a cluster of flames emerged on Xunzheng's body.
The flames rapidly formed a human thigh, and then a complete figure.
By the time Leon reappeared, he was already stepping on Xunzheng, standing before the authority of "The Propagation".
"The Fleeting Steed." Leon said softly, raising his flame-enveloped right hand towards the authority of "The Propagation".
"The Immortal's End."
He swiped at the authority of "The Propagation" through the air!
The sky-clearing cyan flames covering his right arm, accompanied by his sweeping movement, had a few sparks subsequently splatter onto the authority of "The Propagation"!
The tiny sparks became a massive fire in an instant.
The flames swallowed the entire circular insect egg representing the authority of "The Propagation" into its belly, burning fiercely!
Like the alchemy furnace of Taishang Laojun!
After the flames of "The Hunt" enveloped the insect egg, Leon's pupils glowed faintly.
His field of vision was now entirely different from just a moment ago.
In Leon's current line of sight, his person and body had both arrived in the future, that future where "Tayzzyronth" had already resurrected.
"Nanook", "Lan", "Tayzzyronth", "Qlipoth"; Leon, through his future vision, saw the four "Aeons" who were in the midst of a tangled battle.
"The Fleeting Steed" and "The Immortal's End".
These two abilities were the advanced applications of the two authorities, "Causality" and "Revenge", after "The Hunt" unsealed its limits and became the hunt itself.
"The Fleeting Steed"
Human life between heaven and earth is like a white steed passing a crevice.
Pre-fetching a point in time in the future through "Causality".
This pre-fetched time point was usually the moment his "Causality" with this entity was deepest, and then he could use it to feed back to the present moment by influencing the future.
Just like before when he sniped "Iron Tomb" simultaneously across three times: past, present, and future.
But with "Iron Tomb", Leon had genuinely and truly killed Him in three time points, whereas "The Fleeting Steed" was using the result of the future to feed back into the present.
As long as someone was killed in the future.
Then the outcome of this person's death would reversely affect Leon's current time point.
At the time with "Iron Tomb", he truly killed "Iron Tomb" three times.
But using this ability, "The Fleeting Steed".
To kill someone, he only needed to kill them once; killing this person once in the future would directly lead their past to welcome a second death.
Essentially, it was still bringing the result of the future to the present.
"The Immortal's End"
All things eventually come to an end, regardless of whether they are immortal or mortal.
This is by no means an unmerciful heavenly punishment, but a pardon.
When Leon, with his past body, touched future entities, as long as a certain amount of time passed, the "Causality" linking the two would upgrade into a special "Hunting Causality".
Symbolizing "Revenge".
An attack attached with "Hunting Causality" could not be dodged, and getting hit meant certain death. With Leon's current status, even crossing blows with an "Aeon" would generate the corresponding "Hunting Causality".
He would no longer be as powerless as before.
In short—
The revenge of "The Hunt" may be late, but it will never be absent!
....
Present world, Pier Point, within the subspace.
"Tayzzyronth", who was currently entangled with the four "Aeons", suddenly felt a chill run down His back.
The survival instinct originating from His bones urged Him to subconsciously turn His head back, looking around with extreme wariness, wanting to find the reason why He would feel danger.
"Tayzzyronth" had seen so many storms in His life. On His first emergence, He brawled with six "Aeons", and after this resurrection, He was brawling with five "Aeons".
He had never played in a low-rank match.
But to be honest, even if He fought so many "Aeons".
Before truly being beaten to death by these "Aeons", "Tayzzyronth" genuinely still didn't feel much of a death threat.
At most, it was just off-the-charts pressure.
Just now was the very first time in "Tayzzyronth's" life that He had felt such a straightforward death threat.
No kidding, right?
Come on, He was an "Aeon"! In a one-on-one situation, no matter which "Aeon" it was, They wouldn't dare to say They could steadily take down another "Aeon"!
Exactly what kind of divine entity was this that could directly bring a death threat to an "Aeon"?
'Who? Who is it?'
"Tayzzyronth" didn't see a single shadow, as if that chill down His back just now was merely His illusion.
No, it couldn't be an illusion!
The moment this thought appeared, He directly vetoed it!
"Tayzzyronth", as an insect, had a premonition of death more accurate than anyone else!
It was absolutely impossible to be an illusion!
But reality didn't give "Tayzzyronth" the time to figure out this answer.
In this brief moment of His distraction—
"Qlipoth's" heavy hammer, "Lan's" lux arrow, "Nanook's" golden flames; all three simultaneously attacked Him, giving absolutely no reaction time!
"Tayzzyronth's" lower body stretched out insect wings large enough to obscure the sky, a pair of insect wings crossing into an X-shape, tightly shielding His entire body!
Rumble!!!
Fortunately, "Nanook" targeted everyone. His golden flames directly brought the lux arrow and the hammer together, the three colliding, each of their powers largely offset!
So when it finally hit the wings "Tayzzyronth" used to protect His body, it only destroyed a pair of His wings; besides that, it didn't cause any injuries to His body.
But even so.
"Tayzzyronth" right now also really wanted to yell that this Propagation profanity was completely unfair!
Because of "The Preservation", "The Destruction", "The Hunt".
The authorities held by these three Paths all carried lethality, whereas the authority of "The Propagation" didn't hold any lethality. How was "Tayzzyronth" supposed to fight this?
One must know that between "Aeons", They are immune to each other's authorities, or rather, conceptual skills.
For example, the "Causality" of "The Hunt"; it was impossible for it to take effect against any "Aeon".
And the authority of "Tayzzyronth" was reproduction.
He could turn any living creature into insects without cause, the transformation process having no cast time or backswing.
As long as He scattered his spores, whether inorganic or organic creatures, they would all directly become His kind in that instant, without any waiting time needed.
But this thing couldn't take effect against "Aeons".
Just like "Causality", they all belonged to smurfing abilities in low-rank matches.
The problem was that "Tayzzyronth" only played in high-rank matches, the kind He wouldn't fight unless there were two "Aeons" and above.
Clashes between "Aeons" were all about the breadth of Their respective "Paths".
After all, the breadth or narrowness of a "Path" directly determined whether the "Aeon" practicing this "Path" was strong or weak, and whether the upper limit was high or low.
To put it simply, it was Leon's favorite numbers game.
The critical problem was—
Even if "Lan" didn't have "Causality", He still had the "Revenge" authority, the effect of which was that as the hatred value rose, the damage dealt to the target would become higher and higher.
The effect generated by this "Revenge" authority could solidly take effect against other "Aeons"!
Not to mention "Nanook".
His authority was literally called "The Destruction". High damage on the left fist, high damage on the right fist, top-tier violent aesthetics; every move and stance was guaranteed to bring you infinite surprises!
As for "Qlipoth".
Logically, His authority "The Preservation", originally shouldn't be a lethal authority like the other two.
But as the saying goes, special situations require special treatment.
Who said that a "The Preservation" that wiped out all enemies wasn't "The Preservation"?
Every single one of them was a living menace, possessing both numbers and mechanics.
Only "Tayzzyronth" alone had just numbers, and the numbers weren't even overwhelmingly high, resulting in Him truly being pressed and beaten by these three.
Speechless.
The reason "Tayzzyronth" was still alive right now.
Could only be said to be thanks to Him being differentiated from "The Permanence", His life was much tougher than the average "Aeon", otherwise He would've died eight hundred times already!
"Lan" drew His bow, just about to continue launching attacks...
But He suddenly felt that the burning sensation brought by "The Destruction" golden flames on His left arm had inexplicably disappeared.
Seemingly noticing it, "Lan" turned His head and looked at His left arm.
He found that a sky-clearing cyan ghost fire had at some point emerged on His left arm, healing His wounds while simultaneously seizing the survival space of the "The Destruction" golden flames.
"Lan" witnessed with His own eyes the ghost fire growing from originally a small cluster, rapidly expanding to the point of standing as an equal against the golden flames, and then the fire continued to surge.
In just an instant, it completely devoured "The Destruction".
It completely replaced the position of the golden flames, remaining on "Lan's" left arm.
This power....
"Lan" was quite familiar with it, more familiar than anyone.
He was the governor of this Path, how could He not be familiar?
This was the power of "The Hunt"—
A power of "The Hunt" far exceeding Himself, this "Aeon"!
The flames of justice on "Lan's" left arm danced with the wind, a faint voice transmitting from within.
I am currently far surpassing you now, you know.
That familiar voice said so.
"Lan" naturally recognized this voice ringing by His ear, how could He not recognize it?
He was the successor He had personally chosen!
"Lan" had always upheld a philosophy, which was that life must always have an end.
"Lan's" hatred for "The Abundance" had two points.
First, "Yaoshi" had broken the law of death, causing life to lose the reverence that should originally exist.
Second, the "Denizens of Abundance" committed many evils and were unfilial beasts.
"Pathstriders", "Emanators", "Aeons", no matter what it was, none should survive forever; all things must have an end.
This was "Lan's" philosophy.
Therefore, He also didn't plan to exist in the world forever.
Waiting for the day He completed His goal and thoroughly killed "Yaoshi".
He would then actively seek death.
Handing the Path of "The Hunt" along with His own position, altogether over to Leon.
He didn't expect that He wouldn't even need to pass it down.
Leon, relying solely on his own abilities, had forcibly established the Path of "The Hunt" in the past, obtaining the position of "Aeon".
And... he was even a cut above Himself.
"Lan" could sense it, feeling it more clearly than anyone.
Leon's practice of "The Hunt" far exceeded His own.
It was no longer the shallow "The Hunt" established upon "The Abundance", but "The Hunt" established upon the injustices of the world after three myriad years of transformation!
Compared to him,
"Lan" on the contrary looked more like a rookie!
The limits He had failed to break through for so many years were directly broken through by Leon in one fell swoop.
Feeling this brilliant "The Hunt", even "Lan" couldn't help but feel a bit of a surge of emotion.
How is it? I didn't let you down, right?
Leon was definitely grateful to "Lan", after all, He was the first existence to invest in him.
To this question, "Lan" only had four words—
A great successor!
Then, it is time to thoroughly end everything.'
As the words fell, the flames on "Lan's" left arm suddenly condensed into a human-shaped phantom.
'Let us do this together.'

Wen Liang transmigrated, transmigrating into Honkai: Star Rail for over a dozen years.
Until one day while lying flat in sadness, Wen Liang awakened the Enigmata Alt Account System. Thus, another History Fictionologist was added to the cosmos.

The genius whose history was erased by [The Enigmata], Emanator of Erudition Theresa:
"I told you I'm the smartest!!!"
