Game Transmigration: Saving the World Again 1000 Years Later

Valk’s day of summoning was the 4th of the Rain Moon every year. This day was called April Fool’s Day or Beggar King’s Day.

Legend had it that in the Golden Calendar, Valk had once switched the identities of a beggar with a king on his day of summoning. The beggar wearing the crown issued many extremely ridiculous orders on that day, causing great chaos in the capital. But when the day passed at midnight, the beggar returned to his original tattered state with rotten sores all over his body. The golden crown on his head also turned into a crooked crown woven from cardboard and bamboo.

Later on, to prevent such a thing from happening again, on the 4th of the Rain Moon every year, the king would take the initiative to change into tattered beggar clothes. He instructed himself in advance that all the orders he gave today were a joke and allowed all the beggars in the country to party on the streets.

For some reason, this tradition became a carnival festival. On the 4th of the Rain Moon, all the nobles would change into simple clothes and stay behind closed doors. As for the beggars, they would put on fake crowns and call themselves kings to party on the streets. All the citizens who saw the beggars had to take the initiative to bow to them and couldn’t refuse the other party’s requests for food or money.

The crown in Valk’s hand was the same model as the April Fool Day’s Beggar King crown, or rather, its earliest prototype.

“You plan on crowning him?”

The Lady of Starvation looked at Valk in surprise.

Valk whistled as a form of affirmation.

“I thought you would be the last person in the Moon Realm to do this.”

“No, I’m probably the only person in the Moon Realm who will do this,” Valk replied with a smile.

The Pale Poet, Pock, reminded, “You know that the plan of plane fusion won’t change just because of your crowning.”

The four Void Sovereigns present knew that the fellow dressed as a clown in front of Them was the sovereign who objected the most to initiating the Vic Continent’s plane fusion plan.

The 13 Void Sovereigns held a meeting at Gray Castle every 169 years. The most important topic of the previous meeting was to discuss the specific implementation of the Vic Continent’s plane fusion plan.

At that meeting, other than the Lord of Nightmare, Zamara, who was absent as usual and only sent Her Nightmare Maid to convey Her objections, only Absurdity Jester expressed intense objections.

The four Void Sovereigns present who had once supported Coles didn’t believe that He would suddenly change His mind.

The entire ritual was anchored to the land of the Blackwater Province. Camilla, who was on duty as the sovereign of the Year of Starvation, was only waiting to activate the ritual’s fuel. Then, a person with Black Crow Gaze’s control would use the Seed of Hope and begin the final stage of the ritual.

This process would inevitably trigger the plane fusion.

Unless Valk and William could join forces to expel the four Void Sovereigns from Black Crow Gaze and re-setup the ritual, only then could they restart the ascension ritual without triggering the plane fusion.

Other than doing this, no matter who was crowned, it wouldn’t affect the outcome of the ritual.

After all, Coles’s Crows had been plotting in Currere for more than a thousand years. The four Void Sovereigns had supported it for so long. It could not change overnight.

Moreover, without Their support, the most important fuel for the ritual would be sourceless.

However, Valk only said indifferently, “It all depends on this guy’s choice.”

As He spoke, He pointed at William and continued, “He’s the protagonist here today. In addition, please don’t misunderstand. I’m only in charge of bringing a crown over and then laughing at your irrelevant ‘perfect plan.’

With that said, six red lights lit up under Beatrice’s black veil. This was a sign of a drastic change in Her emotions.

To put it bluntly, Beatrice had already done her best to adjust various parts of the plan. For example, she had roped in the Lord of Nightmare, Zamara, in advance so that She could maintain a neutral position in this ritual. For example, by controlling the changes in the net of conspiracies, she greatly delayed Valk’s arrival at Black Crow Gaze.

The two greatest variables—the two Void Sovereigns who had different attitudes toward the plane fusion plan—had been restrained in advance. As for the Moon Realm Calamity, he was only a mortal. He could not hold back the ritual alone in the Moon Realm.

Beatrice didn’t expect William to be willing to sacrifice the entire Twilight Fortress to buy time. Moreover, he could kill Coles, who was already a quasi-Void Sovereign, in less than three minutes.

Regardless, the other party’s goal had been achieved. This was undeniable even if She killed the other party.

Not to mention that with Valk’s help, William could leave easily. Black Crow Gaze would dissipate soon. Perhaps the conditions for the birth of the 14th Void Sovereign could appear again in the future, but Her plan to use this ritual to begin the plane fusion this year was destined to fail.

Unless…

Beatrice turned Her red eyes to William.

If William was willing to cooperate with Them to continue the ritual, it could indeed make up for the previous losses.

It also eliminated a problem for the Moon Realm.

After all, once the former Moon Realm Calamity became a Void Sovereign himself, regardless of whether the other party was willing or not, He had to rely on the emotions of Currere to maintain Himself. Or rather, the other party’s will as a human would become extremely thin. He would show more of a manifested personality as a symbol of the domain.

As for the Void Sovereigns who were high-level existences in the Moon Realm, there might be all kinds of conflicts between them, but Their attitude toward Currere was unanimous most of the time.

No matter what, helping William Kane become the new Void Sovereign was the best choice, but Beatrice felt that things weren’t that simple.

As the Void Sovereign who wielded the power of conspiracy and betrayal, Beatrice could see the future through the trembling of the conspiracy threads. However, when She looked at William, She saw nothing.

All the conspiracies related to his future seemed to have been burned.

Being unable to grasp the direction of the matter was probably what She hated the most.

But what can he do now? What is that clown Valk planning?

Since the Calamity has given up the chance to escape Black Crow Gaze and has stayed, it means that he still can’t relinquish the stature as the 14th Void Sovereign—this is normal. After all, no mortal will give up the chance of elevating themselves to eternity.

However, if the other party wants to carry out the ascension ritual now, the entire ritual would be under Our control. This way, Valk’s plan to stop the Moon Realm from fusing with the Vic Continent’s plane would fail.

Could it be that the other party has a backup plan that can change the entire ritual’s layout under the noses of the four Sovereigns? Just like how he suddenly summoned the Finality scene and trapped Them outside?

With this in mind, Beatrice looked at the dilapidated castle behind the Calamity.

After the Finality scene was destroyed by Them, the Twilight Fortress, which had caused countless trouble for Them more than a thousand years ago, had fallen from Currere.

The Moon Realm domain that anchored this fortress had already been shattered. Before obtaining a new Moon Realm domain, it was only an ordinary stone castle.

It’s impossible for there to be any backup plans…

A roar sounded around them, and a huge black crack appeared on the entire island reef. At the same time, cracks appeared on the lighthouse not far away.

This was a sign that Black Crow Gaze was about to collapse.

Upon seeing this, William took out the last soul fragment of the Father of the Crows in his inventory and held the Seed of Hope in his other.

“So what’s your choice? Do you want to see me destroy these two things together…”

As William spoke, the nexus of Item Destruction lit up in his hand.

“Or should you make way and let me head to that lighthouse to do what needs to be done?”
