Chapter 140 The Holy Covenant Speaks

Master Titanium, holding the complete Holy Covenant in his hand, stood silently for a long time before the cracked entrance to the stream of light.

The ball hovered in mid-air, its fuzzy edges swaying gently. She suddenly turned towards Master Titanium.

"grumble?"

She couldn't remember much, but she recognized this aura—gentle and steady.

The ball floated toward Master Titanium, approached hesitantly, and stopped in front of his palm.

Master Titanium raised his hand and gently caught her. The ball brushed against him and finally stopped flying around.

The silence in the space was hard-won, and the ancestors dared not speak for a short while.

Wuchangtian clutched the signature and murmured, "She finally stopped."

Huan Tianling whispered, "Don't scare her."

Maximo glanced at him: "You make it sound like we didn't try a gentler approach."

Sai Tianjiao crossed his arms: "It turns out that a gentle approach is not as effective as relying on acquaintances."

Jing Tianwei looked at Yin Tianxing: "Why didn't you call Master Tai along with us?"

Yin Tianxing calmly replied, "He was still alive then."

Jing Tianwei paused for a moment: "Oh, right."

Master Titanium listened to their conversation, looked down at the small ball in his palm, and then looked up and scanned his surroundings.

"So, how much did the prophecy in the covenant tell her?"

Xianjue Tian looked a little worried: "I told her some things, but I'm not sure how much she'll remember after she leaves the dream."

Master Titanium looked again at the mess of the light stream, the crooked tattered pages, the blue-green mark on Maximo's shoulder armor, and the signature in Wuchangtian's hand.

He silently questioned the ancestors with his expression.

Sai Tianjiao chuckled first: "She's very lively."

Wuchangtian's voice drifted over: "She kept chasing me for an autograph, but wouldn't listen to my point."

Maximo smiled: "Strictly speaking, she doesn't listen to anything that gets to the point."

The ball turned toward him, its edges trembling slightly.

Maximo immediately added, "Of course, this is a matter of freedom of variables."

Zhen Tianzun looked at him coldly: "You should learn to shut up."

Maximo turned his head: "Weren't you also knocked back half a step just now?"

Zhen Tianzun's gaze darkened, and Sai Tianjiao slowly continued, "It's about deflecting force."

Maximo's smile was obvious: "You're still speaking up for him."

Sai Tianjiao turned to look at him, her smile completely gone: "I can keep quiet for you too."

Maximo wisely kept quiet.

Master Titanium looked at them, knowing all along that his sisters and brothers had very different personalities, and even after death in this space, it didn't mean they would suddenly become easy to get along with.

Master Titanium lowered his head and gently touched the small ball in his palm.

"alright."

Yin Tian walked closer, his gaze landing gently on her: "Her rational processing ability is still in a downgraded state. She's quiet now because you make her feel safe."

The titanium expert looked at him: "How much has it been reduced?"

A subtle silence filled the space. Yin Tianxing explained again, "About 60%."

Master Titanium sighed, "...So many? No wonder."

Wuchangtian immediately said, "It's because her soul strength is too high. We have tried our best—"

The little ball stared at him, and Wuchangtian's voice slowly lowered: "...Gentle."

The little ball extended a tuft of bluish-green fuzz, like a fluffy little hand.

Wu Changtian handed over the second signature with both hands: "This is for you."

The pale gold signature fell to the edge of the small ball, turning into invisible words that disappeared into the depths of her velvety light.

Maximo murmured beside him, "It's a historical scene that creators have stooped to the point of exchanging autographs for peace."

Sai Tianjiao looked at him: "Do you also want a mark?"

Maximo touched the crooked, bluish-green claw mark on his shoulder armor, his smile unchanged: "No need, I already have one."

-

The complete Holy Covenant was slowly unfolded in the hands of the Titan.

Ancient pages unfolded in the void, and words rose from the paper, circled their figures, and then fell around the small ball.

The little ball was still trying to figure out the signature Wuchangtian had given her when she noticed that the edges of the words had cracked a little more.

Master Titanium gently pressed her down: "It's alright."

She barely managed not to move.

The First Enlightened One stepped forward to the front of the Holy Covenant, his voice steady and clear:

"Attraction vector".

Yin Tianxing stood beside her and whispered, "Remember your name."

He paused for a moment, intending to say another, earlier name that didn't belong to Cybertron, but he didn't.

It should not be awakened too early, nor should it be brought up by him.

Yin Tianxing finally said:

"And remember your original name."

The little ball chirped as if it didn't quite understand.

Master Titanium looked at her and added:

"A name is a way for you to confirm that you are still yourself."

Rui Tianxiao spoke from behind, his voice low and deep:

"Dreams can be altered, memories can be overwritten, and fear can make people believe the wrong answers."

Huan Tianling continued:

"Forms change, shells break down, and even directions you think are reliable can be hidden."

Xie Tiancui raised the alchemical lens, and five blurry and terrifying outlines appeared in the lens:

"Some things can make you mistakenly believe that they are the creators."

Wu Changtian's expression was unusually stiff and annoyed. He slowly said:

"The Five-Faced Monster—"

Upon hearing the words "Five-Faced Monster," the little ball immediately pricked up its non-existent ears.

"Squeaky Monster!"

Wuchangtian closed his optical glasses: "Yes, it's the Five-Faced Monster."

"Chirp-chirp monster."

"The Five-Faced Monster".

"Squeak squeak".

Wuchangtian took a deep breath, his two lip nails trembling and fighting each other.

Sai Tianjiao patted his shoulder armor, his tone unusually compassionate: "Never mind, as long as she remembers."

Wuchangtian seemed to want to refute, but in the end he only said in a serious tone:

"I created them."

The little ball looked up at him.

Wuchangtian stopped defending himself and did not shift the blame to everything that happened later.

"But they have strayed from many things."

"If one day you encounter them, see them sitting in the judgment seat, and hear them claiming to be creators, judges, and gods—please help me correct the mistakes I have made."

Xianjue Tian then spoke up: "Follow your own judgment."

Wei Tianxing's voice was so soft it seemed to whisper in her ear: "Remember the energy that connects you."

Jing Tianwei crossed his arms, and although he was not used to it, he became serious: "The connection between you and them is very important."

Maximo smiled slightly: "Of course, don't believe all the nice words either."

All the ancestors looked at him at the same time.

Maximo shrugged: "This time I gave the right advice."

Master Titanium felt that if this group of ancestors continued like this, the topic would go astray again, so he quickly coughed lightly.

"continue."

Xianjuetian looked at the small ball again:

"A true trial will show you everything."

Yin Tianxing's voice was gentle:

"If you wake up in the fog and find that everyone has forgotten a lot, including yourself, don't rush to believe what you see on the surface."

"Awaken their most unforgettable memories."

The little ball couldn't understand everything, but fragments of words vaguely flowed into her mind.

Jing Tianwei asked, "Has she remembered enough now?"

The text of the covenant is flowing faster and faster.

They saw a sea of ​​stars, a blue planet, and five cold faces on the judge's bench. Everyone's memories were shrouded in a gray mist.

Two leaders who should have remembered their paths briefly lost their way.

And she, a soul that has been asleep for too long, searches for her way home between dreams and reality.

Yin Tianxing said softly, "Not enough."

Master Titanium held the small ball: "But she will remember it again."

Sai Tianjiao raised her hand, her knuckles lightly brushing against the edge of her hand: "She won't forget it so easily."

The light of the covenant grew brighter and brighter, and Master Titan placed the small ball in the center of the void.

She hung there, surrounded by twelve figures.

Xianjue Tian held the sword hilt, radiant and solemn; Yin Tianxing stood to one side, arcs of light and space slowly flowing behind him.

Master Titanium held the complete Holy Covenant of All Saints, its pages suspended below the small sphere; the flames on Sai Tianjiao's body were intense and bright, like a rising sun.

Wei Tianxing raised her hand and wove the energy into tiny star lines; the refined golden lens of Xietiancui reflected the dazzling and clear blue of her soul.

Jing Tianwei is like a restless yet reliable high wall; Rui Tianxiao's beastly shadow lurks at the edge of the dream.

The illusory shadow of the Phantom Spirit drew a path for her to return; Wuchangtian's expression carried the pride of a creator, as well as regret for being too late.

Maximo still smiled, but there was a hint of sincerity in his eyes; Zhen Tianzun stood in the shadows, heavy and quiet.

The Holy Covenant of the Universal Monarchy slowly turned beneath her.

Lines of light gold text rose up, eventually converging into a bright and ancient omen.

They read it aloud in different voices.

Some are solemn, some are gentle, some are passionate, some are somber, and some are like stars traversing through distant time and space.

"She comes from another world."

"She will be judged, and she will judge all living beings."

"Those she remembers will eventually awaken because of this."

The little ball nestled somewhat bewildered on the covenant, watching the twelve figures.

The Holy Covenant has turned to its last page, and at this moment all voices converge into one sentence.

"The covenant says—"

"Cybertron will be reborn."

The pale golden light suddenly contracted, and the small ball was gently lifted up by that force, then suddenly pushed away into the distance.

She felt like she was falling from a dream.

In her field of vision, Master Titanium stood in the light, looking at her gently.

The little ball suddenly became a little anxious: "Chirp!"

Yin Tianxing heard this, but didn't translate it further; Master Tai already understood.

She asked: Are you going back too?

Master Titanium smiled and slowly shook his head.

"My home is here."

The little ball didn't understand and wanted to turn back, but the light stream had already sent her far away.

"Go."

"They're still waiting for you."

The cyan-blue sphere disappeared into the end of the pale golden light stream.

The twelve primordial ancestors stood in place, and the universal sacred covenant slowly closed.

On the fourth day after the Ark arrived in Aquitron, in the medical tower of the Crystal City of Cybertron, the waveform of the guiding flame suddenly rose.
