Chapter 636: The Right Time for Will's Awaited Destiny

Chapter 636: The Right Time for Will's Awaited Destiny

Yes, he clearly saw the fate of his future.

The correct time to hold the promotion ceremony, the dice of probability, was unmistakably presented before him.

He finally awaited his most important destiny.

The creator of such a destiny, however, was a couple of casual teasing remarks.

"Unpredictable, perhaps this is destiny."

Will marveled in his heart, then looked up at Hastur and Klein, who appeared before him, one on each side.

If it were anyone else saying these words, they certainly wouldn't have the ability to interfere with his destiny. Only these two could alter his fate through some actions.

When they appeared separately, his destiny still had some fluctuations and deficiencies. This time, with both of them appearing together before him, all flaws were filled, allowing his destiny to be complete.

"Ice cream is a lifelong love; no matter how old I get, I won't give up this deliciousness," Will said with a smile.

Hastur clicked his tongue lightly and said, "Will, your eyes are red; were you secretly crying?"

"Or did the wind and sand get into your eyes?" Klein added from the other side.

"I'm crying tears of joy," Will proudly tilted his head up and said, "Cherish it, for the future me will be beyond your reach."

"Are you that confident now?"

"It seems we should take back our blessings for you."

Hastur and Klein cooperated, making Will's face fall, "You wouldn't be that ruthless, would you?"

"That depends on your performance," Hastur gave Klein a look, and Klein understood, "We've treated you to ice cream so many times, isn't it your turn to treat us once?"

"Oh my, I don't even have a penny in my pocket!" Will's small eyes darted around, filled with wariness.

"If you're so insincere, we might as well leave."

"…I'll treat!"

Will resignedly nodded, and from the room, he found his pocket money from two sets of old clothes hanging on the coat rack.

"We only eat from the most expensive place."

Klein reminded him, and Will returned to the room, retrieved the pocket money he had saved by skimping and saving, and with this heavy treasure, he led Hastur and Klein to the ice cream shop in the West District to buy three ice creams.

"This was the money I saved for getting married," Will said reluctantly, licking the ice cream in his hand.

"Today's ice cream seems to taste much better than before," Hastur remarked.

"It seems we'll have to let Will treat us more often in the future," Klein suggested.

"That's a great idea."

"Are you even human, plotting to take a child's pocket money!" Will quickly covered his small pocket, which had less than two sou left.

After enjoying the ice cream, the group headed to Hastur's villa in the West District.

"You haven't told me why you two suddenly appeared this time."

Will lay on the sofa, covering his stomach with his small hand, his bright black eyes scanning Hastur and Klein's faces.

Hastur brewed a pot of tea, while Klein explained the reason for their joint appearance in Backlund.

Previously, Will had told him that to advance to Sequence 0, he needed to wait for the right time of destiny. Not knowing the specific meaning of this statement, he consulted Hastur.

It wasn't until yesterday that Hastur gave him a correct answer, suggesting they go to Backlund together and appear before Will at the same time, possibly pushing Will's destiny forward.

Today, after making arrangements, they arrived in Backlund through a spatial portal and appeared before Will together.

Sure enough, it pushed Will's destiny to change; look, Will was so happy he was crying tears of joy.

"So that's how it is," Will nodded thoughtfully, looking at Hastur, who was pouring tea, and hesitated before saying, "Are you planning to go to the stars?"

This sentence caused Klein's expression to change slightly. He had witnessed the horrors of the stars through Roselle's diary and Roselle's own experiences.

"Did you see my destiny?" Hastur asked calmly after taking a sip of tea.

"Just as destiny fluctuated, I briefly saw your future in the stars. Considering you helped me advance to Sequence 0 at this time, I guessed as much."

"Then, after advancing to Sequence 0, will you be able to handle my commission?"

"I can," Will nodded firmly. If he couldn't, it would mean he had already fallen.

"I believe in you, and I believe in my own destiny," Hastur smiled.

Will smiled, sat up straight, and said, "I am the favored child of destiny."

"Then I am destiny itself?"

"Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

"Isn't your destiny born because of Klein and me?"

"…You two are both men."

"Does gender matter in the mysterious world?"

Hastur and Will joked a bit, dispelling the heavy topic of going to the stars.

"Don't worry too much. The stars are my destination, just as you have your own destiny to bear," Hastur glanced at the silent Klein.

"Perhaps this will be our shared destiny."

Klein thought of Roselle, who had also gone to the stars, and whose fate had undergone significant changes, almost leading to complete downfall.

Now Mr. Hastur was also going to the stars. In the future, would he also have a day to go to the stars?

"No, your destiny is not in the stars," Hastur reassured with a smile.

Klein curiously asked, "I've always felt that Mr. Hastur seems to be able to see through my destiny. Is that still the case?"

"I only see a glimpse of your future destiny."

"Is my ending good or bad?"

"Being alive is good."

Hearing this, Klein understood that his future would certainly encounter some difficult challenges.

"Destiny is not fixed, especially for you two. If you hadn't appeared before me together today, my original destiny wouldn't have been so smooth," Will joined the conversation.

"Destiny is too heavy and too elusive. Let's talk about something lighter, like how to deal with Adam and the True Creator."

Hearing Hastur's words, Will lowered his head and drank his tea without speaking. This topic was not light at all.

Even if he advanced to Sequence 0, facing Adam and the True Creator, it would be good enough to protect himself. The Ancient Sun God still held the authority to make gods bow.

Now that the Ancient Sun God had reclaimed the authority of the Lord of Storms and the Eternal Blazing Sun, when the stars return to the sky, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom would inevitably be his next target.

Without the help of other gods, it was estimated that the God of Knowledge and Wisdom could not escape the grasp of the Ancient Sun God.

In this regard, the only one to rely on was the God who awakened from the Sea of Chaos.

"It seems this topic is also a bit beyond the scope," Hastur glanced at the silent Will and Klein and said with a smile, "Then let's talk about how to end this war."

Will breathed a sigh of relief; this was a question he could answer. "Given the dangerous situation of the Earth Mother, as long as your conditions are not too excessive, she will agree. The initiative is already in your hands."

After a brief pause, Will continued, "Actually, the Earth Mother has always been overwhelmed, and the real concern is the stance of the Goddess of the Night."

"This goddess, who holds the authority of secrecy, always makes it difficult to guess what she is planning.

"Adam and the True Creator have already hidden, just waiting for you to go to the stars."

Will provided Hastur with some analysis. After glimpsing the correct destiny, he was no longer so afraid of the gods of Sequence 0.

"Mr. Klein, it seems this matter still needs you to resolve."

Klein understood Hastur's words. The Goddess of the Night and the Earth Mother were collaborators, yet only the Earth Mother was asked to express a stance, so the stars could also only let Mr. Fool express a stance.

"This is indeed a good solution," Will also agreed with this approach.

"Ending the war early is also what I hope for," Klein did not refuse the proposal.

"It seems that Mr. Fool's image will be elevated again."

Faced with the teasing, Klein coughed twice, feeling a bit guilty and changed the topic.

Maintaining Mr. Fool's grand image on the throne of the source castle was not easy at all.

On this issue, they analyzed for a while, and before parting, Will took a look at the future destiny of the Loen Kingdom.

The Loen Kingdom still existed, but the Augustus family would be replaced by the Nigan family, and the new king would ascend to the throne at the end of the war.

The new king brought peace, which was a good gimmick, fitting well with future developments.

Backlund, Harvest Church in the South Bridge District.

Emlyn held a brand-new cloth in his right hand and supported the table with his left, absentmindedly wiping the already spotless and shiny table, feeling a sense of fear for the future.

Of course, he knew he was the savior of the entire blood race and should bear more weight on his shoulders.

But negotiating with Mr. Fool on behalf of the blood ancestor Lilith was something he felt he lacked a bit of courage for.

Well, just a bit, he wasn't so scared that he couldn't sleep at night; that would be a coward's behavior.

At this moment, the voices of the blood ancestor Lilith and Mr. Fool simultaneously sounded in his mind.
