However, since the Wise Sovereign mentioned Laplace, everyone couldn’t help but speculate, that perhaps during the past battle between the Wise Sovereign and Adanis, he might have ended up in the Mirror Domain?
In reality, the Wise Sovereign might have easily defeated Adanis at that time, but in the Mirror Domain, it’s hard to say.
No wonder the Wise Sovereign never elaborated on what happened back then, only speaking of the result.
When the Wise Sovereign spoke to this point, he had already briefly organized his relationships with the Relic Site, Mirror Demon God, and Adanis. He didn’t continue because he noticed the confusion in everyone’s expressions was almost overflowing.
"I can assure you, what I said above is true. If you have any doubts, you can ask now."
After his words, the Black Earl quickly said, "What on earth did she take? And why say it was to help the Noah Family retrieve it?"
The Wise Sovereign shrugged: "I don’t know so far. It might be Augustine’s handbook? Or something else."
"As for why Augustine’s belongings were in the Warden’s room... I seem to have mentioned before, Margaret is the Warden’s daughter, and they all lived on the top floor of the Hanging Jail Stairway. It’s very normal for Augustine to have left things with Margaret."
"However, Adanis once said she would hand these things over to the descendants of the Noah Family."
At this point, the Wise Sovereign looked deeply at the Black Earl and Vay, and then said, "But as you know, over the millennia, Adanis’s mind has changed, and the trials for the Noah descendants have become stricter each time, ultimately resulting in most of these Noah descendants ending up in the Sea of Void Mirror."
"This is also why the records about the Qingkong Poetry Room from your ancestors have gradually decreased, because the Noah descendants who knew of these things have all been washed into Empty-hearted People by the Sea of Void Mirror."
"So, even if you go to the Qingkong Poetry Room, I cannot guarantee that she will eventually hand Augustine’s belongings over to you."
The Wise Sovereign, while speaking, also wrote all his words into the True Words Tome, proving he wasn’t lying.
The True Words Tome’s lack of reaction also proved that the Wise Sovereign truly didn’t know what Adanis took.
The Black Earl gazed at every word in the True Words Tome, falling into contemplation.
At this moment, Angel spoke: "When exactly was Adanis born, is she a Mirror Domain entity, or a spiritual being?"
The Wise Sovereign: "When I first met Adanis, she already possessed high intelligence and her own way of handling matters. She should have been born for some time, or one could say she had absorbed a lot of knowledge before her birth."
"I don’t know her exact birth time, but it can be confirmed that she never saw the true forms of Margaret and Augustine. So, she should have been born after Margaret and Augustine left Naraku City."
"As for what she is... I can confirm she is not a native being of the Mirror Domain; she has a true form in reality. But what exactly her true form is, I don’t know, possibly something like a mirror."
Angel asked again, "And what about Olao? What exactly is Olao?"
The Wise Sovereign: "Olao is a spirit, and it can be confirmed to have been born from an alchemy tool. I once asked Augustine before Naraku’s fall, but Augustine gave a vague answer, only saying it was a mirror."
"So, it’s not wrong to call Olao a Mirror Spirit. However, based on the information I’ve gathered over the years from Adanis, as well as You Nu and the Cyclops Family, one thing can be roughly determined."
—"Olao has lost its true form."
"This is my speculation, so I won’t write it in the True Words Tome, but it should be quite accurate."
"Think about why Olao hardly leaves the Qingkong Poetry Room, and later didn’t even show up; I guess it’s mostly in slumber because it lost its true form and can only maintain its body in other ways."
"And why Adanis’s power easily surpasses Olao’s, because she has a true form while Olao does not."
"As for why Olao lost its body, my speculation is... it was taken away by Augustine or Margaret. They thought they’d return soon, so they took the alchemy tool, but unexpectedly, they never returned, causing Olao to lose its body, becoming increasingly weak."
"The owner of the Qingkong Poetry Room has now become Adanis."
These words were all the Wise Sovereign’s speculation, so he did not write them in the True Words Tome. But everyone didn’t mind, because from the Wise Sovereign’s perspective, after the Naraku incident, he only met Olao once, and never again in the millennia that followed, making it difficult for him to know these matters, leaving him with only speculation."
At this time, Dox also posed a question: "Then, what exactly is the relationship between Olao and Adanis?"
This question was asked in Dox’s typical style.
However, this was precisely what everyone was concerned about.
For this question, the Wise Sovereign pondered for a moment before replying: "The last time I saw Olao, he introduced Adanis to me."
"He described Adanis with these words—"
"Her name is Adanis, and I am her Guide."
"And Adanis’s reaction was quite interesting; she said, ’I don’t like this name.’ Olao then said, ’But this is the name given by the Master.’"
"Adanis continued to retort, ’But I’ve never met the Master; my name should be determined by myself.’
The Wise Sovereign paused: "That was the only time they discussed each other."
Here, Olao’s mention of the Master refers to Augustine. Augustine was also an alchemy genius, and Olao was a spirit born from an artifact he crafted."
According to this speculation, Adanis might also be some tool crafted by Augustine, which eventually gave birth to a spirit. However, by then, Augustine had already left, but before leaving, Augustine had named the potential spirit, which was Adanis.
And when Olao said he was Adanis’s guide, in other words, it’s like the relationship of a guide and a Talented One, teaching Adanis the meaning of existing in this world.
That is to say, instilling Adanis, a blank slate at birth, with a worldview, values, and morality.
Of course, Olao was not a very qualified guide because Adanis was clearly not someone who just follows orders; she had a very strong individual personality, not even liking the name Augustine gave her.
Moreover, as time passed, the Wise Sovereign also noticed the change in Adanis’s attitude towards Noah’s descendants; she even dared to attack Noah’s descendants, no longer regarding herself as a ’Guardian.’
This was also why the Wise Sovereign felt that Olao was an unfit guide.
