The likelihood of a connection between The Abyss and the demon’s eye was too high. Anna couldn’t help but think about the relationship between the two. She thought that the demon’s eye in the Human Realm might be a projection of The Abyss, and that they were inherently the same thing.

And the illusion she had in The Abyss wanted her to throw the fruit off the cliff into its depths. She thought that she shouldn’t do what the illusion wanted her to do; wasn’t that the rule in all novels, movies, and dramas? So, she didn’t throw it into the depths. Instead, she brought the fruit out with her, but somehow it turned into a red mark on her palm.

According to the prophecy that Bishop Conrad read, the demon’s eye, aka the “greed” of The Abyss, needs to be satisfied, and the fruit could satisfy it….

No way!

Anna suddenly did not feel well.

Could it be that the right thing to do at that time was to obediently throw the fruit into The Abyss? That way, The Abyss would be satisfied, and the demon’s eye would not appear or expand, and the line of life and death would be stable. There would be no casualties, and the mages of the Human Realm would not take the risk of going to the Demon Realm to capture her.

No, wait a minute. This line of thinking was under the circumstance that the prophecy was true. But in reality, she didn’t believe this so-called prophecy. So, what exactly was going on?

Anna stopped talking in the middle of her sentence, which attracted the attention of everyone present.

Bishop Conrad asked, “What do you remember?”

Anna looked at Bishop Conrad in a daze, and shook her head: “I don’t know… The eye of the demon, it’s impossible for it to be filled by demons…”

She couldn’t help but smile wryly as she said that. She never thought that the task of saving the world would end up falling on her shoulders, a transmigrator. Filling the demon’s eyes with the fruit of The Abyss in her palm was obviously more reliable than filling it with demons.

She raised her hand suddenly, so that everyone present could see her palm.

“When I was in The Abyss, I fell into an illusion. The illusion guided me to plant an Abyss tree seed, which produced a fruit. The illusion asked me to throw the fruit down the cliff, but I didn’t do so. Instead, I took it out of The Abyss. After I came out of that illusion, the fruit became this red mark on my palm.”

All the mages present looked at Anna’s palm. There was indeed a fruit-like mark there, but it could also be taken as a birthmark. And with their life experience and strength, they couldn’t see anything unusual about that thing at all.

When the mages didn’t know what Anna was trying to get at by saying this, she continued: “Instead of catching hard-to-catch demons to fill the eye of the demon, you might as well try using me. Your method is just speculation, whereas I have personally entered The Abyss.”

Anna’s words surprised everyone.

The eye of the demon was not a peaceful or interesting place. The cardinals who had entered all died after coming out. Even a demon entering The Abyss, which was similar in environment to the eye of the demon, was dangerous, let alone a weaker human like Anna.

Her proposal was like suicide.

“Do you know what you’re saying?” Bishop Conrad asked with a frown. He didn’t fully believe Anna’s words, but her proposal also surprised him, because no matter whether the method worked or not, her proposal was pretty much akin to self-sacrifice.

Anna nodded: “I know exactly what I’m saying. If you have a more certain and feasible method, I am willing to help you. If the method you think of is guesswork, you might as well try my method. I have gone into The Abyss; none of you have.”

Anna’s words attracted a complicated look.

Some mages thought that since she had gone into The Abyss and came out safely, she might also have a way to escape from the eye of the demon, and this suggestion of hers was a way for her to escape the control of the Vatican.

Some mages thought that she was just a human being after all, and did not lose her humanity despite her worship and infatuation with demons. They believed she was willing to sacrifice herself for the entire Human Realm to repent.

Bishop Christopher stared at Anna, frowning in silence.

Anna was captured by him himself, and he knew Anna better than anyone else present, so her performance was so contradictory that it was confusing. She protected the demon in the Demon Realm, allowing him to escape. And her reason was definitely not what she claimed, letting him go because she was afraid that betraying the demon would lead to the demon getting revenge on her. She seemed to… love that demon.

But she behaved today as if she had no love or nostalgia for that demon. Could it be that she was willing to sacrifice herself for her family?

Bishop Conrad looked around, frowned and thought for a few seconds before saying to the two priests beside Anna, “Bring her away.”

The priests grabbed Anna and led her out of the hall.

After Anna left, Bishop Conrad said, “If you all have any thoughts, please don’t be shy, just speak up.”

Regarding the matter of the eye of the demon, in fact, no one had a clue. But this was a major event that was endangering the entire Human Realm. How could they not grasp at straws?

Thus, they named that strange environment at the line of life and death “eye of the demon” to fit the prophecy, and tried to enter the demon realm to investigate.

Something had to be done.

All the mages who had the ability to contribute thought this. Under the current circumstances where they had no clue where to begin, they could only start with this ambiguous prophecy.
