668 You are Finally Here (2/2)

”Mable, check our food and water. Immediately.” Ye Qingxuan ordered. ”My apologies, everyone. I think some people among us have been working for the Dark Musician and have been spreading Paganini's Changing Music Theory within us…”

Very quickly, Mable came back and reported that there was nothing wrong with their food and water. Everyone also managed to prove their innocence after being put through the inspection process of the Religious Court of Inquiry. No one was working for the abyss?

Ye Qingxuan was stunned. ”What have all of you done? Why were all of you infected?”

Everyone did not know what to say.

”We didn't do anything.” The crippled musician, who was the unluckiest of them all, said, ”Ever since I entered the Ultimate, people have been after my life. After that, I was recruited by the Chief Inquisitor and have been following you ever since. You can check my memories and consciousness. I guarantee that you will not find any problems.” He was one of the few that was not infected and was fully confident in his innocence.

”You haven't done anything?” Something crossed Ye Qingxuan's mind suddenly. He turned back and looked at everyone else. ”All those who have killed someone in the Ultimate, step forward.”

Very quickly, most of them stepped forward. They were the ones that had been infected…

Ye Qingxuan took a deep breath. He felt a chill go down his spine. He focused on retrieving the shard of the Ultimate's core and held the broken stone plate. He closed his eyes and electricity shot out and into those objects. This time around, he was no longer just trying to observe from the outside, but to transform into music theory and diving deep within. He has placed his consciousness onto the music theory and in an instant, he has delved into the core of the Ultimate. Amidst the countless complex turbulences, he saw the iron law that had been inscribed onto the core.

Under the witness of all kings.

This time around, he has finally taken a good look. This was indeed something left behind by all the kings centuries ago, but now only a short opening was all that remained. The law that should follow the opening had been completely wiped out! Someone was up to no good!

In the next instant, within the countless elements, black fog suddenly appeared and turned into the image of a genderless person. It smiled at Ye Qingxuan.

”Finally, I have been waiting for you…”

Paganini!

In the blink of an eye, the electricity around Ye Qingxuan stopped abruptly before withdrawing at hundred times its original speed. Amidst the chaos in the Ultimate, waves of black fog suddenly appeared on all four sides.
