Aaron froze for a moment, then raised his hand in surprise to grab one of the silver light clusters, but even with his Sequence, he missed it without intentionally restraining it.
"You're getting more and more impolite! I'm just a newborn baby!"
A disgruntled murmur sounded beside Aaron, and a pink, chubby baby wrapped in silver silk appeared.
He completed the theft and was successfully born so quickly?
Suppressing the doubt in his heart, Aaron lightly coughed and looked at the current Will Auceptin, responding with a smile:
"Just a joke. With our friendship, there's no need to be so formal, right?"
Will Auceptin snorted, rolled his eyes, and dodged a large hand that wanted to pinch his face. He didn't say much more, as this was, after all, the Evernight Goddess's territory.
Aaron, who also understood this principle, didn't continue to tease. After confirming through a few jokes that the state of this 'trickily' prematurely born Snake of Fate was fine, he prepared to leave St. Samuel Church.
The swirling Darkness vortex had receded at this moment. Before Aaron could speak, 0-17, whose figure slowly dissipated, subtly moved his lips:
"Zaratul has been released. This is a necessary sacrifice…"
Aaron's pupils contracted slightly, but it was too late to ask anything more. In an instant, he returned to the front of Chanis Gate and saw Archbishop Anthony waiting quietly there.
After a simple greeting, Aaron looked at the re-closed Chanis Gate, his brows slightly furrowed.
He was not surprised that Zaratul would be released. He had originally expected this to be delayed until Klein advanced to demigod.
Were certain existences, eager to quickly cultivate a Lord of the Mysteries, exerting pressure while the Evernight Goddess and the God of Combat were in a standoff?
Taking a deep breath, Aaron suppressed the thoughts in his mind. After the initial surprise, he wasn't overly worried. After all, once Zaratul was released, the most important thing would be to stabilize his main body, which would also take some time.
After taking the group back to Dr. Aaron's house, Aaron noticed that Dr. Aaron's wife's belly was still distended, looking no different from before.
Meeting Aaron's inquiring gaze, Pallez, who had been extremely quiet and silent since arriving at St. Samuel Church and seeing 0-17, explained in a low voice:
"That one's hidden world is completely isolated from the outside River of Fate, so the backlash from stealing fate was very small. That's why I was able to help this Mr. President complete his birth so quickly. As for this lady's situation, I returned the stolen fate to her."
Will Auceptin immediately turned his head, pouted, and added:
"This way, I can smoothly connect with the outside River of Fate, and you won't have to use some crude hypnotic methods to conceal my existence."
"However, in my original fate trajectory, I cannot continue to stay here during the period before the original birth time arrives. Otherwise, two interwoven but unmerged fate tributaries will cause some trouble."
Roughly understanding Will Auceptin's concerns, Aaron's eyes brightened, and he lightly coughed. A rectangular, diamond-like "Yesterday Once More" charm immediately appeared in his hand:
"Respected Mr. President, given your current state, can you leave Backlund?"
Will Auceptin immediately became wary, but he didn't seem to feel any unfavorable fate trends. He glanced at the "Yesterday Once More" charm for a long time before slowly speaking:
"I have successfully been born. Although my strength is still at its lowest point, the Sequence of the Snake of Fate has returned."
"As long as I don't display my true essence, even if I leave Backlund, that foolish snake, who was tricked by the Hidden Authority, will only think I'm still in Backlund."
As he spoke, he didn't wait for Aaron to interject, but directly turned his head to look at Pallez, who was standing beside him, and extended his chubby palm, saying:
"This is your reward!"
A drop of silver blood appeared, within which countless tiny, illusory wheels seemed to be rotating, forming a long ribbon, almost connecting end to end.
Pallez nodded, accepted the drop of umbilical cord blood, and then left Backlund. With his Sequence 1 status and the ability of the "Trojan Horse of Destiny," this drop of the Snake of Fate's blood could play a special role in his hands.
Aaron waited patiently for a while. Seeing that the chubby fellow wrapped in silver silk had no further actions, he lightly coughed and reminded him:
"Share and share alike, cough, where's my share?"
Seeing that Will Auceptin still had no reaction, and even rolled his eyes at him, Aaron's eyes subtly shifted, and he chuckled softly:
"I've always believed in a proverb: 'The gifts of fate always come with a hidden price tag.'"
"And for high-ranking individuals of the 'Fate' Pathway, it seems they always pay for the items on the price list first, and then await the return of the gifts, and often, the more gifts, the more generous the return…"
His tender face twitched slightly. Unable to tolerate Aaron's continued chatter, Will Auceptin very decisively flicked out a drop of umbilical cord blood.
"Praise our profound friendship!" Aaron genuinely praised, then handed the "Yesterday Once More" charm in his hand to the baby and immediately added:
"The Southern Continent is a long journey after all. I have already arranged for my subordinates to clear out those traitors of the Life School of Thought. In the coming period, the Church of the God of Combat might make some moves."
"Therefore, if you temporarily need to leave Backlund, I can certainly help you find a good place to go."

Empress Borough, in Earl Hall's luxurious villa.
"The conflict between the Kingdom and Feysac in the Northern Sea of Storms seems to be intensifying, and even the Amantha Mountains are under martial law…" Audrey, with her smooth golden hair casually draped, sat in the living room, casually flipping through "The People's Daily."
This newspaper, originally established by Aaron himself, has now surpassed old newspapers like "Backlund Evening News" and "Backlund Post," becoming the best-selling newspaper in Backlund and even Loen.
Hearing Audrey's murmur, Earl Hall, or more accurately, the Earl of East Chester County, stroked Susie, who was rubbing against his feet, and sighed, shaking his head:
"I have met that Feysac diplomatic envoy. He is barbaric and crude, without any semblance of a civilized person, and he lacks sincerity. This dispute will likely be difficult to resolve through diplomacy."
"Alfred is right. East Chester County is too close to the Amantha Mountains. As staunch supporters of the Church, our Hall family must make our contribution."
With Aaron's help, Audrey, who had just advanced to Sequence 5 "Dreamwalker" last month, nodded slightly. She had long since interrogated the so-called diplomatic envoy in her dreams and knew that the so-called diplomatic mediation was nothing more than a pretense.
