Chapter 2294 The Puzzle

Author: Lil Thorny Flower
Something inside the cube rang out. The explosion didn't even make it do anything, but Nineve's kick got a response out of it. Everyone wondered why, but then the sounds of gears turning came from the cube.

Kirin gasped. "Maybe the empress is hiding inside. Or maybe the cultivators locked her in there." No one knew the real reason. Not even Nox's divine sense could see what was inside the cube.

"No idea, but the cube's big enough to hold one person," said Nox.

"A prison. That's the best you can come up with. She did not lose the battle, you know. To an extent, her spell worked. If she spreads it across the world, she'll be its one and only ruler, but I don't believe a spell that perfect exists. An unimaginable price must be paid for it, and it's a price we cannot afford," said Aphrodite.

Kirin was about to bristle, but Aphrodite approached the cube and touched it. Blinding light reflected from its surface. The light rippled outward, and crisscrossing lines split the cube's surface

    "I don't know, but it's worth a shot," said Aphrodite. She then tried to solve the thing like it was a Rubix cube. Every surface had three hundred squares. Solving it was a huge project. Patience alone wasn't enough. They need brains. No one in the team but Aphrodite could do this.Nox used to play standard Rubix cube when he was a kid. That thing had a formula to it. Master the technique, and it could be solved easily, but unless someone took the time to learn it, solving it without any help would be hard. If Nox had to do it, they could never solve the puzzle.He didn't even memorize the runes' arrangements. He could spend his whole life solving the cube, and he would still fail. Everyone knew how difficult this thing was, so no one pushed Aphrodite."Good thing you saved her, milord. No one could have solved this cube otherwise," Kirin said telepathically.Nox answered, "Perhaps, but if she wasn't around, I'd brute force my way through. Anything man-made can be destroyed through

    "They had a reason. From what I know, the most ancient form of words was created to commemorate an event. Like sacrificial rituals, the ancestors believed that words carry mysterious power. They connect us to the world and the gods themselves," said Queenie. One word carried a lot of information within, so it was natural they would be complex.Aphrodite solved another surface in the meantime. Everyone could guess the meaning behind that rune. "Loads of sacrificial ritual items. Sacrifice?" Nineve pointed at the rune.Queenie was speechless. "Not that simple. Ceremony, I think.""Ceremony? Human? Compassion?" Nox muttered. Whether their guess was right, no one knew. They needed Aphrodite's explanation. She was going faster and faster. Not too long after that, she'd solved five out of six sides, but she slowed down on the final side.Nox knew her enough to see her confusion. "She's starting to doubt her judgment. I knew it. There's more to this cube."Though Aphrodite doubted her ju

    Nox gave her a guarantee, but that wasn't what Aphrodite wanted to hear. She wanted Nox's first promise to her. She wanted him to stay with her no matter what came their way. She stared at Nox, and there was determination in his eyes, but she didn't see the emotion she wanted to.Aphrodite smiled bitterly. Nox had done what he promised her. Looking into his eyes, she said, "The Generals work for you. Though they carry out my orders, they are loyal to you. Vermilion Bird looked into my case behind your back before the battle at the Ocean of Death. You must know something about it."The look in Nox's eyes changed. "What are you trying to say?""You know I'd betray you even before the battle, didn't you? No, you had enough intel, and you had a feeling it was coming," said Aphrodite.Without hesitation, Nox nodded. "Even so, you kept the promise you made to me. Maybe you were prepared to abandon me, and you were just waiting for me to break my oath.""Yes," said Nox honestly. "I alway

    "Oh, for fuck's sake. If you want to die, then die. What in hell was that speech for? You know you deserve that, don't you?" Kirin knew Aphrodite was trying to manipulate Nox again. He was worried his lord would fall for her trick and rekindle his flame for her."Don't fall for her lies, milord. Once a traitor, always a traitor!" Kirin quickly said. He didn't want Nox to trip again."No one knows your name, Kirin, but I do. Nox told me about it. Inkdark, that's your family. You're a prodigy of the path of the ancient divine. You're feral, untameable. Threatened by the path of the ancient divine, your family tried to strip you of your divine bones, so you slaughtered them all and went to Mystia."Someone like you can never understand love! Love doesn't mean you have to control a person! Even if you'll never grasp them, you can still love them! The path of cultivation is a path of no return, but love is not!"Nox will never forget this day, I swear! I will make sure he remembers that

    Though Aphrodite was smart, she could never outsmart the heavens themselves. If she wanted to pass their trial, she must step into the game. The price to pay was her life, regardless of the outcome. After she stepped into the game, the cube started to turn, and a sea of evil spirits pounced at Nox and his team.Kirin was about to make his move, but Nox stopped him. "You do your job, I do mine. Leave everything to me," said Nox coldly. The look on his face was icy. His heart was burning with rage, and he needed to vent.Of course Nox hated how fate arranged things. If Aphrodite hadn't been born to the Mousses, things would've been different. But she was born to them, and given her personality, she had no choice but to do what she did.Nox cast Eight Techniques, and all eight spheres burned everything in their way. His heart raged for Aphrodite. He loved her once, and he hated her once. He was clear on how he felt about her.The phantoms and spirits wailed in agony as the flames burn

    But he swore his loyalty to Nox. "Listen up, Aphrodite. I am the leader of the Inkdarks! They did try to take my divine bones away, and I did slaughter them. Someone like me doesn't deserve love, much less something that runs this deep, but I don't regret what I did. If it was my family that wanted to kill me, I would sacrifice myself for it."But the path of the ancient divine never was going to spare them. They had cast a killing spell on them. I had no choice but to put everything on the line! They'd die a quicker death at my hands! I swore my loyalty to Nox not because of his power. Not because he helped me smash a hole through the mountain."It's because he's the only one who knows me! He can understand how helpless I was! I will die for those who truly understand and empathize with me! What about you? You tried to manipulate him even in your final moments! I don't do that kind of shit! He's my bro, and I'm ride or die!" Kirin growled.Kirin activated his Sacred Beast Seal, and

    Nox grabbed the ladies and went into the dark doorway. Everything around them shifted, and they felt a sense of vertigo. They snapped out of their trance a moment later and found themselves in a world of stars. All around them were shimmering balls of light, but all were out of their touch.Horrified, Nineve asked, "Where are we? In space?""Calm down. We have Nono with us," said Queenie. The ladies looked at Nox."This place feels ancient. Older than seventy millennia. It's not space, of course. More like a man-made world," answered Nox."A man-made world? Cultivators can do that?" Nineve was stunned."Not a true world. They use their power to cover up an area and isolate it from the rest of the world. No one can get in unless they have the know-how," said Nox."So who made that box, Nono?" Queenie asked curiously.Nox mused for a moment. "Maybe the Ironhands. Who, specifically, will be revealed in a moment, I trust."A murky silhouette glided over to the trio. None knew how h

    "You wish for release from your mortal coil? But the empress has enslaved your soul. You can't possibly help me." Nox narrowed his eyes.The old man gave him a look of approval. "I see we have a Sovereign who's different from the others. You are nearly perfect.""Thanks for the praise, but since you can't help me anyway, mind telling me a story? For example, what happened here seventy thousand years ago?" Nox asked. He didn't need the old man's approval, so his praise meant nothing."To work swiftly is to be an emperor. Of course, I can tell you a bit about history, but only to you. Ms. Sanders and the princess are both sacrifices. They have no right to this information." The old man waved his hand, and two smaller boxes covered them, separating them from Nox and the old man.Nineve and Queenie panicked a little, but Queenie quickly composed herself. She had a look of determination in her eyes. If her sacrifice could save Nox's grandfather, she was willing to pay with her life.Ni

    Three months later, Nox declared Faeast as the leader of all nations, ushering in a true era of peace and prosperity. Then, he abdicated the throne, passing the throne to Nineve. Nox proclaimed that this nation was neither the Greenshade nor the Limerent family's, but a world that belonged to its people.One year later, Nox and Queenie lounged under the warm sun on the sandy shores of the Ocean of Death, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility. The world had finally settled into peace, allowing them to take a well-deserved rest."Nono, what's Aphrodite up to?" Queenie asked, her brows furrowed as she leaned against Nox. "Is she planning something shady again? She's been building alliances all over like she wants to imitate the Three-Eyed Empress.""Death changes people," Nox replied calmly. "Don't worry about her. She knows exactly what she's doing."Old Aphrodite would've killed Jacques and run off to save herself without a second thought. Instead, she spared him, stripped his cul

    The Nine-State Crucible hovered majestically over the heavens, drawing all the spiritual energy from the Nine States and Five Domains into itself. As the ultimate artifact of Faeast, the crucible was unmatched—a legendary relic that had never known defeat.The origins of the Nine-State Crucible were shrouded in mystery. No one knew who forged it nor why it disappeared over the ages. For centuries, many dismissed it as a mere myth. Yet now, it reappeared, proving its existence—and, by extension, the truth of all the ancient legends tied to it.The sight left every cultivator present in awe, bowing in reverence to the artifact."The ancient sovereigns of Faeast forged the Nine-State Crucible to safeguard the Nine States and Five Domains. "Its power ensures that Ascendants cannot interfere with the mortal realm. It has crushed even Ascendants in the past, and you, still merely a mortal cultivator, think you can stand against it? I promised to crush you, and I will!"With Nox at it

    However, only Nox himself could sever the celestial providence. Only by cutting off the Celestial Lord's celestial providence could Faeast's providence be restored to its peak."Damn it! Nox Greenshade! Do you really think you can defy the heavens? I didn't want to damage my cultivation, but it seems I have no choice but to go all out! You think a one-ring Minor Saint can defeat me? I am the Celestial Lord—the apex of mortals, the Great Saint of Dao and Virtue, ordained by the heavens themselves!"The Celestial Lord's furious roar resonated across Mystia, drawing in vast waves of spiritual energy from the realm that converged upon him alone."Great Saint of Dao and Virtue? If the so-called heavens of the Transcendent Firmament made you, it only proves that even they have failures," Nox retorted coldly.Even the Celestial Lord, enraged as he was, could scarcely believe Nox's audacity—daring to disparage the mighty figures of the Transcendent Firmament."I am indeed a one-ring Minor

    'What? Griffin was a sworn brother to Magic Mountain's founder?!'"That's right," confirmed the formation master. "He only told us recently."As the first to learn of this connection, he had shared it with the Saints of the Five Elements, ensuring they wouldn't betray their alliance. Using the promise of ascension as leverage, he managed to secure their cooperation. After all, the Great Saint of Fire had already reached the threshold for ascension.The risks were minimal, and upon ascending to the Transcendent Firmament, the Magic Mountain's founder would surely offer his guidance. For that reason alone, the five mentors had rallied to aid Nox.With such mighty forces gathered, morale on Nox's side soared. Meanwhile, the Whitefield family's spirits plummeted, crashing from the heights of hope to the depths of despair in mere moments. The mental strain caused several of their weaker-willed members to break completely.With dread settling over them, the Whitefields could only place

    The Whitefields were getting cocky, but then they realized the powerhouses that came weren't responding. The aura was powerful, but there was no life in it. On closer inspection, they noticed that the leader of the group only had half a body left. His soul was missing. The quartet behind him was nothing but a pile of mincemeat.The portal buzzed again, and seven silhouettes came out. Five of them felt domineering, and they looked prideful. It almost felt like they were peerless. These people were none other than the Saints of the Five Elements.Four of them were Pinnacle Minor Saints. While one had an aura so strong, this place couldn't handle it."A Great Saint! Great Saint of Fire!" Fiery Ignis, Dominic, and Achille couldn't believe their eyes.It had been too long since Mystia saw a Great Saint, and he was Nox's mentor."So, he's the one who broke through first. But now he's already hit his bottleneck. The other four's power isn't enough. If the Sacred Beast Seal isn't upgraded

    The Montgomerys and the Byrds decided to see Nox together, but they were refused. They were cursing Nox and calling him disrespectful, but then they saw Nox and his team taking a portal to the path of the ancient divine."What? He went right to them? Why? He's going to fight the Celestial Lord now?" The representatives were shocked.'How dare they!' they thought.Nox and his team went through the portal quickly and appeared right over the Whitefields' place. The Whitefield family was the newest member of the divine four and the real mastermind behind the Inkdarks' demise."Kirin, I told you I'd take you back here someday. I told you that when we come back, the Whitefields will be no more. If you can't do it, I can wipe them out for you." Nox looked at Kirin."Don't look down on me, milord. You don't need to dirty your hands for them. I'll do it!" Kirin summoned his avatar, and with Saint power infused, the avatar turned into a real beast. The sacred beast itself descended upon the

    "Time to finish this. My lord's going to the path of the ancient divine next. You should decide who's going to take over after the Celestial Lord is taken down. That's all. Now let's talk about our personal business. Listen up, anyone who had a part in attacking my family, tell your clans that I'm coming for them. I'm killing all of you!"Bloodlust filled the air, and the representatives were shocked. "You killed your own family. Yes, we made them attack you, but we never wanted to wipe it out!" the Whitefields' representative said.Kirin flew into a rage. "How low can you go? You forced them to kill me, or you would wipe us out instead! You think I'm stupid? You'd have killed my family either way! I know how you guys function. You're crueler than any beast out there. Listen up, there's still time to plan for your funeral. You'd better make a good plan."Kirin chased everyone away. The families were going back to prepare for battle, but two remained behind. One was the Byrds' repres

    Nox's Magick Sword crushed the enemy leader's soul. "I said I would cut you down, and I did. Now do you see who's the ignorant one?"The enemy leader realized that Nox was the man at the pinnacle. Perhaps the moment Nox became a faux Saint, he was already no match for him. "So what if you can kill me? You are Faeast's Sovereign, and you have a duty to push Faeast to power. But the Celestial Lord still exists. As long as he is around, your wish will never be fulfilled." He sneered."Is that so? Well, he's next on the list to be culled. If anyone tries to make an enemy out of me, I will destroy them and their families, even if they are from the path of the ancient divine!"Nox shattered the remains of the soul, and the path of the martial's leader was no more. The problem harassing Faeast for millennia could be solved at long last. Achille was stunned. It hadn't been that long, but Nox had surpassed him.Nox was better than him in every way. He was an even better swordsman than Achil

    The enemy leader was waiting. One technique broken wasn't enough to take Nox out. He wanted to wait until Nox had cast all he knew and find an opening to take him down, but Nox wanted to take him down with the power of the sword."You're stubborn. Very well, this makes things easier for me. I'll kill you, or at the very least, wound you!" He'd be stupid not to take advantage of this. The enemy leader's avatar morphed into a gigantic fist and slammed into Nox's chest.The impact shot through his body and reached his soul. Nox spat blood, and his soul was injured.Achille couldn't stand by anymore. Nox just told him not to push himself, but he wasn't taking his own advice. Then, Nox's weak will-of-the-sword shone blindingly, and then Unto the Origin appeared once more."Even under my pressure, you can use this technique? You're strong, but you're as stubborn as your mentor. You've lost your chance! Die! You'll never get here in time, Achille! Shadowkill!"The enemy leader's avatar t
