334 Warning
William raised another question.

“Then, can you tell me who crowned Camilla’s birth as the Rebirth Sovereign?”

From William’s experience in completing the Eclipse ending, every new Void Sovereign required another sovereign to crown them. Usually, this sovereign would be the largest investor in the other party’s ascension ritual.

The blurry shadow on the other end of the curtains fell silent for a long time before slowly replying,

“According to the contract, I can’t reveal that lady’s name.”

“Understood. Thank you.”

William lowered his head and thanked Her sincerely.

It was clear that compared to the harsh contracts between gods and mortals, there was more room for loopholes among Void Sovereigns of the same level.

Although the Void Sovereign didn’t truly have a gender, besides the three goddesses, only Steelheart Widow Aiur was known as a goddess. As for Sin of Crimson Desire, Hal, because He fulfilled the believers’ inner desires, male believers called Him the Goddess of Pleasure.

It could be said there was a 99% chance that the Whispering Empress was the Lady of Starvation’s coronator.

If Beatrice had done the crowning, She might have a way to allow the Lady of Starvation enter Currere.

There was once a mention on the game’s official website regarding the Whispering Empress—this Moon Realm sovereign, who is skilled in conspiracies and betrayal, has always been weaving a ‘great conspiracy’ in the Nest of Silk. Many times, many of Her seemingly failed plans and ridiculous failures pave the way for the success of that greater goal. It is believed that the ‘great conspiracy’ has been woven for over 4,000 years and will continue into the future…

It was said that once Her conspiracy network was complete, all of Currere would belong to Her.

Similar descriptions occasionally appeared in the background introduction on the game’s loading interface. William still remembered that during quests, he had always felt that the Void Sovereign, who seemed to control everything behind the scenes, might be the final boss of the game.

However, the outcome was—if he didn’t pursue the path leading to the Eclipse ending, most of this lady’s scenes would be gone in the game. In the later stages of the game, only the Demon Generals under Her would continue appearing in Currere as though seeking validation for their presence.

Now that he thought about it, the information back then mentioned that Beatrice’s ‘great conspiracy’ had been woven for 4,000 years. Based on the math, the so-called ‘great conspiracy’ began about 5,000 years ago, during the Bronze Age.

This was around the time Camilla became a Void Sovereign.

Could this be just a coincidence?

“So, Calamity, what’s your choice? Do you want to return to your original timeline and leave Ravenwood, or do you want to stay here and wait for death?”

Seeing that William didn’t say anything, Zamara urged again.

“Don’t rush me…” William raised his hand.

According to Zamara, as long as he remained in this timeline, it was certain that the Lady of Starvation would enter Currere. But was that possible?

As for the Void Sovereigns at the peak of the Moon Realm, the scale that could support their main bodies to cross the Moon Realm rift without any damage was… the scale of the entire continent.

The root cause of the Moon Realm crisis back then was the Holy Spirits Church’s almost insane personalization plan for the Holy Spirits Church because they were afraid that their influence would be replaced by secular regimes.

This attempt caused the Seven Calamities to erupt one after another, causing the World Shell that maintained the laws of Currere to be shaken. The outbreak of the Calamities caused the hearts of the entire continent to tremble, leading to a large-scale tide in the Moon Realm. Finally, through the confluence of myriad factors, a few irreparable cracks appeared in Currere.

However, even such harsh conditions couldn’t open a rift that allowed the Void Sovereign’s main body to pass through. Only a series of conspiracies and sacrifices could open the rift and enter the timeline of the Waning Moon ending.

William didn’t think that the Lady of Starvation and the Whispering Empress could cause more trouble in Ravenwood.

In other words, it was impossible for the Lady of Starvation to enter Currere through the Moon Realm rift.

Then, there’s only one theoretical possibility…

“Dreamer, see if I’m right…”

William lowered his hand and said. He subconsciously used the title of Dreamer, which was only used among the gods.

“You’ve been trying to persuade me to leave to prevent the Lady of Starvation from descending…”

“Don’t push your luck. I never said that!” Zamara cut in sharply, Her voice filled with anger. The curtains between them rustled with the force of Her words. The Nightmare Maids passing through the bedroom fell to their knees, trembling.

William raised his hands in surrender and apologized.

“Okay, okay, I’m sorry. You didn’t say that. You just want me to leave Ravenwood because of the alliance between the three goddesses. You hope I won’t go against the Moon Realm. If I stay here, things will spiral out of control… Am I right?”

“Don’t test my patience, Calamity.”

Although She still wasn’t polite, Zamara’s tone softened slightly.

“What I mean is, you didn’t risk violating the contract just to remind me in the interests of the mortals in Currere. You did it because if I stay, things will spiral out of control and harm your interests, right?”
The undead couldn’t dream, and if only the undead survived, it would make Her authority a joke.

Plus, the dreams of the 40 million Tree Elves were woven by Zamara, which was a vital source of Her strength.

“So let’s change our perspective. Maybe there’s another way to solve this. If you let me contact my friends on the other side and act on two timelines at once, maybe we can prevent the worst-case scenario.”

Zamara fell silent for a while before speaking again.

“I don’t want to fight for the Precept, but I can’t let it fall entirely into your hands. Forget about me becoming your ally. Only the Heartless of the Moon Realm might support you as long as you retain the name of Calamity.”

In the end, it still doesn’t work out…

William felt a headache coming on.

The Lady of Starvation had only one risky—even insane—way to descend into Currere based on what William knew, and even Valk wouldn’t try it.

To stop Her, he needed to travel between timelines or communicate between them.

But if Zamara wasn’t willing to help, he was stuck.

Just as William was about to wake up, Zamara warned him, “What’s happening in Ravenwood is only a game between the Void Sovereigns. Only eternal existences that go beyond causal or looped time like us can modify fate. You can’t involve the Heartless, like using Her essence to resonate with the Lady of Starvation’s essence under the World Root to break through the barrier between the two timelines.”

“I understand. Thank you!”

William, who had fallen back into reality, only had time to express his gratitude.
