Proving the Dao of Hunyuan from the Age of Witches

Chapter 149 Concealment and Decision

"It's like standing on the top of a tall building, and the building is collapsing." Luo Xi recounted her experience in Nuchuan City, especially the feeling of being doomed, and even used a metaphor to describe it.

Luo Xin did not look well.

"What's wrong, little sister?" Luo Xi asked, looking at Luo Xin's pale face with some confusion.

"So, this is the second time you've had this feeling?" Luo Xin didn't answer, but instead asked this question.

"No," Luo Xi explained, "to be precise, it has happened several times."

Luo Xin remained silent, seemingly caught in some kind of dilemma. After a long while, he finally looked up at her earnestly: "Rose has a sense of destiny, and I have the ability to interfere with time and space. Using these two magical properties can have a certain impact on the future... Brother, do you believe me? I have some things I need to talk to Rose about alone."

"It's not a matter of believing or not believing. What is it that I need to avoid?" Luo Xi laughed. "Judging from your behavior, you must know something I don't know, and it's related to my premonition. Something significant must have happened in the future."

"This matter concerns our safety, and even so, you still don't want me to know?" Luo Xi looked at Luo Xin seriously.

"I'm sorry, brother." Luo Xin recalled the scene when the initial Tai Xi killed her in other timelines and only said sorry. Even though Luo Xi in this timeline has not done anything to wrong her, Luo Xin still felt resentful.

"What do you know? What did my future self do? Or rather, what did my other self do in other timelines?" Luo Xi reacted quickly, only pausing for a moment before rapidly asking while speculating.

"..." Luo Xin remained silent.

"This is my premonition. Such a premonition usually means a life-or-death crisis..." Luo Xi looked at Luo Xin earnestly, trying to move her. "I don't know what caused this life-or-death crisis, but if you can tell me what you know, we will have a better chance of getting through this crisis."

"I..." Luo Xin paused for a moment before finally stating her thoughts, "I don't believe you."

Luo Xi was taken aback by Luo Xin's answer.

Luo Xi looked at her calm younger sister, Luo Xin, and then fell silent.

"If you don't tell me, I'll have to leave you to avoid you getting involved..." Luo Xi still didn't say these words.

After a long while, Luo Xi slowly spoke: "Okay, maybe you're right not to believe me. Even now, I can't even give you the promise to protect you or take care of you until you grow up."

It's time to leave.

Her younger sister, Luo Xin, currently has only one weakness: her level is relatively low, only a beginner witch. Once she reaches the intermediate witch level, Luo Xi will be able to relax and completely ignore her sister.

Besides this, there's also the cause and effect of the rose...

That's good. Only by completely severing all worldly desires can one go further on the path of cultivation.

"Since you have something to discuss, I'll leave first." Luo Xi glanced quietly at Qiangwei and Luo Xin before leaving the training ground.

……

With only two people remaining in the training ground, after Luo Xi left, Luo Xin spoke up: "Rose... perhaps your interference was justified."

"How so?" Rose's expression remained unchanged.

"Her... my brother's state, her appearance, is getting closer and closer to the initial state of Xi." Luo Xin sensed her memories from other timelines. "Now, she is becoming more and more peaceful and serene, and her behavior is much more stable, which is a manifestation of her leaning towards rationality."

"But... even with this rationality, she could still propose eliminating one-tenth of the population to intimidate the Witch Council headquarters, which shows that her inner nature still carries that kind of extremism and madness." Luo Xin sighed.

"In the battle in the consciousness world just now, she fought with the intention of making me kill her, or killing me. She directly used our strongest attack and defense methods," Luo Xin continued. "In addition, something else happened during the battle in the consciousness world."

"I trapped her in a spatial cage. Because the spatial cage had gaps, her first reaction was to break herself apart and squeeze out of the spatial cage, trying to escape in this way," Luo Xin recalled. "But this method was really too crazy... Her actions showed that she didn't treat herself like a human being at all."

"Yes, all these behaviors indicate one thing: Luo Xi is gradually losing her humanity," Rose replied quietly. "In this state, the more humanity she loses, the more she excludes the factor of 'humanity' from her, thus making the most efficient decisions rationally. Because she excludes the premise of being 'human,' the decisions she makes seem extremely crazy to outsiders, whether to others or to herself."

"But none of that matters to what happens next." Luo Xin sighed. "What happens next is the first abnormal hyper-aggregation event to occur at the Witch Council headquarters, which is probably why she had a bad feeling."

"We've already agreed that I'll handle the first anomalous hyperaggregation event," Rose said calmly. "I don't think I'll fail. Even if I do, theoretically I can delay the outbreak of the anomalous hyperaggregation event... So, I think something more dangerous is about to happen."

"Something even more dangerous?" Luo Xin asked, puzzled.

"Can't you even sense what's actually happening?" Rose asked instead.

"I can't sense it. Although my spacetime interference is complete, it's limited by my level and can't 'see' the distant future." Luo Xin shook his head. "What about you? What can you sense using your destiny perception?"

"My perception of fate is just a fragment of broken magical properties..." Rose shook her head as well. "According to the witch system that Xi has established, although I am already at the pinnacle of C-rank witch, things about the future are still very vague. I can only sense that there is great danger."

"There's another matter," Luo Xin pondered for a long time before stating his judgment, "Xi in this world's timeline has already demonstrated precognitive abilities. I suspect that her causal interference is beginning to awaken."

"There's no doubt about it; this is the interference of cause and effect. Her premonition ability is from the same source as her perception of fate, but compared to the perception of fate that I control, Luo Xi's perception is not actively initiated, but rather a premonition that arises passively," Rose said quietly. "Moreover, it's a premonition that only arises in the face of major life-or-death crises."

"If she fully awakens to the concept of cause and effect, and we fail to achieve our respective goals," Luo Xin sneered, "then let's face this failure with equanimity."

"Xin, you've made the same mistake I did before. You're being too self-centered," Rose glanced at Luo Xin. "There are some things I feel I need to be honest with Xi about."

"You forgot? Back in Qianhe County, Nuchuan City, she wanted to kill Wei Ying's clone and steal Wei Ying's magical properties to deal with the abnormal entity..." Luo Xin clenched her fists tightly, then relaxed them, as if making a major decision. "I don't want her to know. I absolutely will not tell her. This is my bottom line!"

"As for this crisis, I can fully cooperate with you."
