The woman shook her head and sighed.
Unlike her attitude towards the old man, she never tried to stop the philosopher from beginning to end.
The reason is simple.
"The new world that philosophers dream of will have such an ending. Did you already know it?" Luo Ling said softly, "The Messenger of Doomsday."
"Of course I know, because everything is destined, Miss White Witch." The woman raised her gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Everything will end in Doomsday, without exception.
"Whether it's Victoria, the 'origin of change', or Great Xia Imperial City, the 'origin of silence', or even Valhalla, the 'origin of destruction', no one can escape.
"All the places of origin will, at the final moment, be like Columbia, the 'place of origin of the fall', and will never exist again in the 'end of the world'."

Chapter 106: The truth about Colombia's past (5k)
At the same time, in the present Victoria.
The continuous boundary collapse finally slowly stabilized, and the changing scenery gradually returned to normal until it stopped in a lightless night. The quiet darkness enveloped the entire Victoria area.
In the silent night that seemed to be no different from usual, countless people's hearts were in their throats, worried that this unprecedented collapse of boundaries would lead to unforeseeable changes.
Soon, many Order-side awakening forces, including the "Company", dispersed their own manpower, and as they did after each boundary collapse, they began to collect information about Victoria in order to determine which era the collapse had reached.
Every time the boundary collapses, there are actually traces to follow, which is equivalent to reading the file and starting over. The read file basically exists at a certain moment in the past, and then starts to develop again from this moment.
However, the specific end point of the collapse is unknown. It is possible that the world judges that a certain node in the past is stable enough and will start again from this node.
After a period of intense searching, all forces came to a surprising conclusion.
Such an unprecedented collapse of boundaries actually... Instead of returning to a certain moment in the past, the moment Victoria is currently staying is still when the impact of the "Moment of Death" has not completely subsided.
The residual impact of this "fate" disaster still caused heavy losses to many low-level awakeners who stepped out of the protection of the mystical barrier. Fortunately, the team leaders now are basically all high-level awakeners of level seven to nine, and they were able to bring them back to the base protected by the mystical barrier.
"Why...?"
Lu Fangling watched the several members she had sent away being carried on stretchers into the emergency room, her expression unable to conceal her shock.
Although the collapse of boundaries will lead to many unforeseen consequences and may also increase a lot of uncontrollable risks out of thin air, it is essentially a part of the world's protection mechanism in order to avoid another more terrible disaster.
Now, the already weird boundary of this process has collapsed, but even weirder consequences have appeared. Could it be because...
"Perhaps the world believes that this is the safest time for Victoria. I guess... a bad guy must have done something in the past."
A light voice sounded, and Lu Manqing sat in the corridor with her legs crossed. The awakened people coming and going nearby ignored her and even passed through her body directly.
—The Lu Manqing here is just an almost real shadow, and only Lu Fangling can see her.
Lu Fangling looked at her daughter with complicated eyes, sighed softly, and said,
"Sometimes, I really can't tell whether you are Manqing or the 'Omen of Disaster'."
"Why not both, my mother."
Lu Manqing raised his head, and in his crescent-shaped eyes was the cunning look that Lu Fangling was most familiar with.
"You can think of me as the reincarnation of the 'Omen of Disaster'. Besides, I was born by you, how could you not know that?"
Lu Manqing has always hidden the memory of one of the four major omens of the "Sky Speaker", the "Omen of Disaster", which she was born with.
During the more than ten years she was sleeping in Jiangcheng County, on the one hand she was fighting against the chaos that had crossed the line, and on the other hand she was gradually unraveling this memory.
If it was a possession of another's body, Lu Manqing only got the memory. She was still herself and had never changed.
But if you have to say no, Lu Manqing did show the characteristics of a disaster omen at certain times, and this characteristic made Lu Fangling, as a mother, feel frightened and unfamiliar.
"At least, I won't stand in front of you no matter what," Lu Manqing snorted, "I'm not like that little bitch called Disaster. She would twist her butt and shamelessly approach anyone who showed her some 'disaster'. She's just a coquettish slut."
Lu Fangling just remained silent, and her gaze as she looked at Lu Manqing became increasingly complicated.
She really didn't know how to face her daughter who was now familiar yet unfamiliar to her.
"You have to believe me, Mom. I don't tell you some things for the best of everyone."
Lu Manqing narrowed his eyes and looked straight ahead, but he didn't know what he was looking at. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Hehe... As the saying goes, 'fate is unpredictable'. Sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing. If you accidentally get into some big trouble, it will be sad for us to see."
Having said that, one can still hear a hint of concern in his voice.
Because she is both a harbinger of disaster and Lu Manqing.
The daughter of Lu Fangling and the nanny of the Twin Ponytails Team, these identities are not false, they are all part of the individual "Lu Manqing", not just one of the four omens of the "Sky Speaker".
It is precisely because of this that Lu Manqing is sitting here at this moment, not like the gypsy girl who foreshadows disaster, watching the place of origin Victoria go to the bottomless abyss called "Doomsday", to witness this wonderful "disaster" and "catastrophe" that can only be watched three more times.
At this moment, another office member hurried over and reported to Lu Fangling another even more terrifying thing.
A large number of "realms of nothingness" are constantly emerging in various places in Victoria.
Yes, Victoria did not experience another boundary collapse, but what it faced was a more direct and unacceptable horrific consequence.
—Boundaries are annihilated.
"What!"
After listening to the report, Lu Fangling finally couldn't sit still anymore.
Her first reaction was to report to the "company" headquarters, but when she thought of this, she could only sigh and give up this plan.
Wellington Office - no, it should be called Wellington Organization now. They have separated from the "company". This is the will of all P8 ministers, and even Lu Fangling, the head of the P9 director, cannot go against it.
The reason for the separation is simple. The old man is dead, the woman betrayed, the young man was abandoned, the board of directors exists in name only, and the current "company" headquarters no longer has any binding force and can't provide any form of help.
Although Wellington is considered a more legitimate office among many offices, with even the board of directors in its current state, it is meaningless to talk about whether it is legitimate or not.
Most offices choose to leave the headquarters directly at this time. No one wants to continue to serve the headquarters at this critical moment.
The previous headquarters could still give the dogs under it a few bones and had a powerful board of directors, but the current headquarters has nothing. What can it use to protect the offices under it
"Mom, this 'disaster' has already begun." Lu Manqing said softly, she raised her head slightly and stared straight at a certain place in the sky, "You must be prepared.
"Prepare... for the end of the world."
... ... ...
As the collapse of Victoria's boundaries gradually stopped, the suffocating doomsday scene slowly faded away, and we returned to Victoria in the real world, which had just been ravaged by the "Moment of Death".
In the pitch-black night, Luo Ling and the woman stood facing each other.
The "Messenger of Fate" who attempted to create a new world with the forbidden power "Fate" has been severely damaged by the backlash. Both "Fate" and "Doomsday" are terrifying forces that he cannot bear.
Luo Ling solved his existence swiftly and efficiently, using the ultimate killing feature of "Absolute Blade" to push him into eternal "death" again.
The woman's eyes stayed on the dagger in Luo Ling's hand for an unknown amount of time before she finally moved her eyes away and looked at Luo Ling again.
"It's a very nice sacrificial vessel, but it doesn't belong to you."
"Yes, but its owner has passed away. I am its successor."
Luo Ling put away the "Absolute Blade". The ultimate killing feature of this sacrificial weapon was indeed very powerful, but it was only suitable for finishing off an opponent, because under normal circumstances, an opponent of the same level would not give her time to use the sacrificial weapon.
The woman looked at Luo Ling deeply and said softly, "It seems that you really don't know anything about other places of origin, especially Columbia, which has fallen into the "doomsday" end."
Hearing this, Luo Ling was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that "Jue Ren" could be related to other places of origin.
etc...
"I thought, Miss White Witch, that you have mastered the power of the puppet, obtained this sacrificial vessel, and perhaps met a few friends, so you might know something. In the end, you disappointed me."
The woman shook her head regretfully and said softly, "You don't even know that the place of origin, Columbia, was destroyed by the "Puppet Rumor" disaster. You know nothing about the reality of this world."
"What... "
Luo Ling opened his eyes slightly wide, showing some shock, but quickly calmed down.
She did look for information about "Kupai Ya" and Jiying's team in the "company's" archives, trying to find out the full picture of the past events, but found nothing.
Even Puppet Yao's real name only appeared on the forbidden stone tablet in the burial ground after the disaster broke out in Jiangcheng County.
In other words, the disaster in Jiangcheng County was actually the first appearance of Puppet Song in Victoria, the place of origin.
Luo Ling had just learned about the four places of origin from Lina not long ago, and for a moment he did not associate them with the Ji Ying team, which had no record of its existence, and the puppet rumor that had caused a major disaster.
It turns out that all of this... happened in other places of origin.
Moreover, it is in Colombia, the only place that has been confirmed to have fallen "doomsday".
"hehe... "
Seeing Luo Ling's slightly confused expression, the woman just smiled without commenting, and then told him everything she knew in a few words.
Columbia, the "origin of the corruption", existed from 2100 to 2200 AD, a total period of about a hundred years.
The boundaries extending from Columbia are quite stable, with almost no confusion like Victoria. There are not many records of boundary collapse, and almost all weirdness is directly suppressed by powerful official organizations in the form of the army.
When Lina learned about several places of origin from the kingdoms of the gods, she realized that there were very few kingdoms of gods belonging to Colombia, and it was for this reason.
Columbia has completed the integration of world power, combining technology with the power of the awakened, creating countless miracles, and even plans to explore beyond the world.
There are countless special operations teams similar to Ji Ying's. Of course... Ji Ying's team is the elite among the elite, completely obeying a huge war machine.
It can be said that Colombia, the place of origin, is not much different from the ideal world dreamed of by old men and philosophers.
Then, the "Puppet Rumor" disaster broke out.
A horrific disaster that swept the entire world spread silently. By the time Columbia reacted, more than one-third of the human race had been transformed into puppets of Puppet Rumor, including countless awakened people and official organizations.
The huge and terrifying war machine is filled with mycelium, which replaces and controls countless parts.
Columbia had never expected that just the weakest and most dangerous monster, which was much lower in sequence than the monsters that had been suppressed before, could defeat them without anyone noticing.
When the puppets of "Puppet Rumor" swarmed in like a tide of zombies, the war machine collapsed, leaving only scattered elite teams fighting on their own, looking for ways to kill Puppet Rumor. The "Absolute Blade" in Luo Ling's hand was one of the masterpieces born during this period.
From the very beginning, "Ze Ren" was created to kill the puppet Yaoi.
But unfortunately, in the face of the puppet rumor that has spread to all boundaries of Columbia, these elite teams can only be destroyed one by one like moths to a flame.
Until the end, Jiying's team committed suicide by integrating into the body of Puppet Yao, trying to use consciousness to fight consciousness and then defeat it.
However, unlike the information Luo Ling got from Ji Ying, what the woman told Luo Ling was that they had failed.
They failed to kill Puppet Yao.
In the end, it was the coming of "Doomsday" that completely destroyed Columbia, which had become fragile due to the rampant puppet rumors, and the horrific disaster caused by him was finally dissipated in all history.
"No wonder..."
Luo Ling seemed to have thought of something and his eyes dropped slightly.
"Miss White Witch, I've always wanted to talk to you, because the puppet you own is the only one in the origin land that has truly faced the coming of the "end of the world", not to mention that you still control his power." The woman shook her head in disappointment and sighed, "It's a pity..."
The woman came into contact with the "Doomsday" path from the burial ground, and learned the story of Columbia from somewhere. She even knew the weapons left behind in this tragic story, but she was missing the most important part.
"But, as far as I know, 'Doomsday' has not really come yet." Luo Ling said in a deep voice.
Although the first one has a bad personality, the information he provides is indeed quite accurate.
If you say it wasn’t born, then it wasn’t born.
"I know, because even I couldn't set foot on the path of 'Doomsday', so I hope you can know something," the woman smiled and said softly, "Everything I do and plan is for His birth.
"And now... I'm so close to success."
As soon as she finished speaking, Victoria's boundaries began to disappear, and the "Realm of Nothingness" continued to fill in and emerge, occupying everything of Victoria.
The reason why the woman wanted to kill the other members of the five-person group was because in the whole of Victoria, they were the only ones who had the ability to stop the woman, or had the idea of stopping the woman.
Now, all resistance has dissipated.
"I can't find the truth about Columbia's final outcome no matter what I do, but it doesn't matter, I can also witness the truth about Victoria's final outcome."
The woman said softly, her gentle voice used a calm tone, but it was a crazy act that no one could compare to.
"I will bring the end of the world to Victoria."
