Laplace considered for a moment and nodded. "You're right. As long as we can confirm the presence of Mystery energy around the Silver Wall, it's probably the work of the Woe Puppet.
I'll contact Ningtai's clone now. "
After that, Laplace lowered his eyebrows and remained silent.
About half a minute later, Laplace looked up again. "I've asked Ningtai's clone. The Blood Calamity said that it did not notice the presence of Mystery energy around the Silver Wall."
The clone frowned. "So we're stuck here?"
Laplace shook his head. "No. The Blood Calamity has a way to verify the presence of Mystery energy around the Silver Wall. Its main body is in the Gloomy Mirror Domain, so we can send someone to check the Silver Wall.
As long as the Mystery energy is detected, the Blood Calamity will send us the answer through the ritual. "
"I don't think it's going to cooperate. Isn't it going to ask for something? "
Laplace said, "It didn't mention any conditions. However, in order to complete the transmission of information across worlds, we have to offer a qualified sacrifice."
To put it simply, there were no conditions on the surface, but there were hidden conditions.
If they wanted the Blood Calamity to send a message, they had to prepare a ritual to "refresh" the Blood Calamity's consciousness.
It sounded complicated, but the Blood Calamity's consciousness in the White Sun Mirror Domain and the Blood Calamity's main body in the Gloomy Mirror Domain could be seen as two separate entities.
The Blood Calamity's consciousness in the White Sun Mirror Domain had all of the Blood Calamity's memories, but it could not directly exchange information with the Blood Calamity's main body.
Since they were separated by a realm, they could not share their minds.
If he wanted to exchange information between the sub-consciousness and the main consciousness, he had to restart the current ritual and use the ritual to break the barrier of the "domain".
And to restart the ritual, they had to prepare a new sacrifice.
And the sacrifice was … a bloodline.
And the bloodline couldn't be too low-level.
Low-level bloodlines couldn't withstand the consumption of traveling across realms.
Preparing a bloodline for the Blood Calamity was not a "negotiable" option. It was the only way to transmit information across realms.
"So, if we want to get information from the Blood Calamity's main body, we have to give it to it?"
Laplace nodded. "Yes, this is a prerequisite. The Blood Calamity did not lie."
The God's Blood Clone frowned. "Are we really going to hand the bloodline over to Blood Calamity?"
Bloodlines could be used as fuel to cross between the two worlds, and the Blood Calamity could also absorb the essence of the bloodline and inherit the memories of the bloodline.
It could be said that the Blood Calamity's request was an overt scheme that would only benefit the Blood Calamity.
Laplace said, "If we want to get information about the Gloomy Mirror Domain, we have to swallow this open scheme. However … we don't need to prepare bloodlines. "
"Gleipnir has already told Ea about Blood Calamity. Ea also understands the importance of Blood Calamity as an 'intelligence agent' in the Dark Mirror. Ea will be in charge of the bloodline."
After all, the calamity of the Woe Puppet was the calamity of the entire White Sun Mirror Region. It was impossible for Laplace to pay the full price.
It just so happened that the Hundred Dragon Divine Nation had always been a "rich family". Exchanging bloodlines from their storage was a small matter to them.
Hearing that they were not needed to provide the bloodline, the God's Blood doppelganger's frown immediately disappeared. She knew that if they had to pay for the bloodline themselves, they would probably get it from their own blood bank.
The clone sighed in relief. It's good to have someone to pay for it.
…
Just as they were talking, a series of "dong dong dong" sounds that sounded like someone was knocking on a door suddenly surrounded the entire silver forest space.
Even the birds in the forest were startled and circled around in the air.
He looked at the source of the noise and saw the entrance of the Silver Forest Space — the mercury mirror that connected to the outside world — suddenly rippling like water.
The moment the ripples stopped, the surface of the mirror became exceptionally clear. One could clearly see a tall figure standing outside the mirror.
It was Steward Fan knocking on the mirror.
"Come in," Laplace said softly. As her voice fell, a faint light appeared in her eyes.
In an instant, the surface of the mercury mirror seemed to open, and a whirlpool connected to the outside world appeared.
Steward Fan was right outside the vortex.
He curiously poked his head in and looked into the mirror. When he saw Angor and the others, he showed an apologetic expression. "Sorry for disturbing you."
Steward Fan walked into the Silver Forest Space. His steps were graceful, and his gaze did not wander around. In a few steps, he arrived at the tea party table.
Steward Fan was holding a plate covered with a silver cover. He bowed slightly to Laplace and placed the plate on the table.
The moment the plate was put down, the dancing table immediately tilted sideways, and the silver cover on the plate was blown away by this movement. After a parabola, the cover fell into Lei Yun's hand in mid-air.
Lei Yun opened his big cute eyes and put the silver cap on his head like a hat. He made a "gulu gulu" sound as if he was very satisfied with his new hat.
Steward Fan's eyes flickered when he saw this, but he did not say anything.
At the same time, as the silver cover was removed, the item on the table was revealed.
It was a triangular glass vase with various golden patterns on it.
There was a faint red liquid flowing inside the vase.
"This is what Mister Ea asked me to bring. It's … a bloodline bottle containing the essence of Void King Crocodile," Steward Fan explained.
Void King Crocodile sounded like a creature born in the void, but it was not. It was a monster from the Wildland World. When it reached adulthood, it could borrow a special power to cross the realm barrier and travel to the void.
Void King Crocodile's bloodline was considered a high-tier bloodline in the Wildland World. However, it was still much weaker than the Blood of Gods.
And this was the bloodline that Eya had prepared for the Blood Calamity.
"Mister Ea asked me to ask if Void King Crocodile's bloodline is enough? Should I prepare more? "Steward Fan asked.
Before Laplace could answer, the clone in front of him spoke first. "We're only here to make a deal with Blood Calamity. We're not here to nurture it."
Steward Fan glanced at the clone out of the corner of his eye. He did not know who the clone was, but since it had the same face as Laplace, Steward Fan assumed that it was either Laplace or a clone.
Of course, Steward Fan did not dare to say anything.
"No need. This Void King Crocodile's bloodline is enough," Laplace said.
Steward Fan bowed slightly. "Should I send the bloodline bottle to … Blood Calamity?"
Laplace shook his head. "No need. I'll have someone do it."
Laplace did not say anything else. Steward Fan understood Laplace's intention and bowed again before leaving the Silver Forest Dimension.
After Steward Fan left, the mercury mirror became cloudy again. Laplace frowned and spoke to Steward Fan in a small voice, "Go ahead."
Send it? Who? Angor looked around in confusion.
Apart from himself, there was only the clone in the area.
The clone had a bloodline and a physical body. If she went to Blood Calamity, she would probably be killed by the law.
As for himself … he did not think that his projected bloodline was stronger than Blood Calamity's, which meant he could resist the bloodline law.
If it was not him and the clone, then who was Laplace talking about?
As Angor pondered, a translucent figure slowly appeared on the empty seat on his right.
Her entire body was translucent. Her hair and body were the only things that Angor could see clearly were her eyes, which were a mixture of dark blue and emerald.
Angor was surprised to see the person who suddenly appeared beside him.
This person was none other than the clone that Zhang Xuan had seen earlier.
But wasn't the clone at Blood Calamity's place? When did she come back? And judging by how calm she was, she must have been sitting at the table for a long time already.
"When Blood Calamity asked for the bloodline, I sent the clone back." Laplace paused. "She didn't stay here for that long. About two minutes."
Angor did not know what to say. They only talked for a few minutes. How did she come back so fast?
That's way too fast, isn't it?
Laplace noticed Angor's confusion and explained, "The clone's speed is about the same as when we walk in the consciousness space."
The clone's speed is about the same as when we walk in the consciousness space? Angor did some quick calculations. It felt like several minutes for them to travel from the consciousness space to Blood Calamity's location, but only a few seconds had passed in the real world.
In other words, the clone only needed a few seconds to travel from Silver Forest to Blood Calamity's location?
Angor stared at the clone in shock. Was that really moving? Wasn't it teleportation?
The avatar didn't say anything. He glanced at Angor, picked up the bloodline bottle, and vanished as if he was never there.
"She's gone." The clone glanced at Angor. "I know what you're thinking. She's not teleporting. She's using a talent called Void Walking.
But unfortunately, the clone can only use this talent on herself. She can't take others with her. "
In other words, the clone's extreme speed could only be used by herself.
Even so, it was still terrifying. Besides, she was walking in the air, which meant she could ignore most of the space restrictions in the outside world.
Angor looked at the clone, who was calmly sipping tea, and then at Laplace, who was standing beside her with an expressionless face.
Angor felt relieved.
Who was Laplace? He was one of the most powerful beings in the Sun Mirror Domain, and the "Child of Destiny".
It was normal for her clones to have powerful abilities.
Just like the Black Earl, he only separated his organs and followed his descendants, but he was still able to release powerful abilities. Laplace's clones were all in perfect shape, so it was understandable that they were powerful.
Angor's mind calmed down. "The bloodline bottle is here. We're reactivating the ritual now," Laplace spoke in a soft voice.
"We'll have to wait for a few more minutes."
Angor nodded. He remembered the complicated patterns of the ritual. To reactivate the ritual, they had to fill the bloodline bottle with blood, which would take a long time.
While they were waiting, it gave them some free time.
Angor took the chance to go to the Dream Crystal and report to Little Red.
If everything went according to plan, Parrot should have cleaned up all the blood in the crystal tunnel and was running out of Crystal City.
Rice God and the others wouldn't be able to catch up with Parrot if they wanted to.
Therefore, it was relatively safe to let Little Red talk to the Rice God at this time.
After contacting Little Red, Angor logged out of the game.
When he opened his eyes again, he was surprised to see the clone drinking tea lazily in front of him.
The main reason was that Laplace and the doppelganger looked exactly the same, but the doppelganger had more expressions than Laplace.
It made Angor feel like he had lost his sense of time.
The clone raised an eyebrow at Angor's direct gaze. "Are you thinking about the blessing I gave you? If so, you'll have to wait a bit longer. Wait until you're sure the Silver Wall is a sealed space, then you win. "
Angor shook his head.
He had no idea what the blessing of the God's Blood Doppelganger was. Since he didn't know, he wasn't expecting anything.
But if he was being honest and said that he was surprised by the clone's expression, it wouldn't be a good idea.
After all, Laplace's "master" was right there.
"It has nothing to do with blessings. I'm just curious." Angor's clone looked at him carefully.
"About what?" The clone looked at Angor.
Angor shrugged. "I'm just curious. Why do all your clones have the same face? Or should I say, what's the meaning of this face?"
Angor had seen Laplace's true form before. That gigantic body was nothing like a human's.
Laplace's clones also had different appearances. Some were old, some were young, some were male, and some were female.
But all of Laplace's clones looked exactly the same.
Apart from the color of their hair and eyes, they all had the same face — the face of a young girl.
Was it because Laplace's original body liked this face very much, so he gave his avatars the same face? Or was there a special story behind this face?
Angor only asked this as an excuse to deal with the clone. In fact, he had been meaning to ask this question for a long time. He just didn't have the chance to do so.
Now that he had the chance, he decided to ask.
The clone raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Laplace. Of course, the clone knew the reason. But she couldn't tell Angor about it.
Besides, it wasn't up to her to tell Angor.
He turned around and looked at Laplace, who was standing beside him.
