Chapter 422 422. Fate of Tansmigrators

"I heard it's connected to us?" Orion said with some uncertainty.

The old man nodded. "Well, you're somewhat correct. As I said, after the story ended, I couldn't interfere with the book. So how did I transmigrate you three? All those transmigrators? How did I do it?" he asked, looking at the three of them.

Seeing their curious faces, he continued, "It's simple. Since I couldn't do anything from within, I decided to interfere from outside."

His face grew solemn as he looked at Orion, Mark, and Mei Lin. "I chose souls who were destined to die on Earth and transferred them to my book, to your world. But since you came from outside of the book, your arrivals created extra pages in the book, which scattered around the world each time I transferred souls from Earth into my story."

He added, "These pages are all connected to your characters, your souls. If a page is destroyed, one of you will disappear too, and vice versa. It may seem similar, but they are different in essence. Your existence in my story is tied to these pages."

Orion's eyes narrowed. "If a page is destroyed, one of us would die?" he asked, his eyes widening.

"Indeed. If a page is burned to ashes, the transmigrator linked to that page would also have died somewhere," the old man replied, looking at Orion.

Orion's face darkened at the old man's words, though he felt no particular remorse.

"Why do these pages have world-changing abilities? Is it because they are part of this book?" he asked, changing the topic and pointing to the book on the table.

"Indeed. The pages hold the power to rewrite reality itself, but they won't work if the reality manipulation requires more energy than the power of the transmigrators linked to them," the old man replied patiently.

"Why do you think the Archons or those who know about transmigrators hate them?" the old man asked, looking at them. "The hatred comes from within their very souls. So if you want to avoid being hated by the world, by those around you, keep your identity as a transmigrator a secret. Otherwise, your names will be right below Orion's on the wanted list."

Orion, Mark, and Mei Lin's expressions grew grim as they realized that while they had been trying to save the world and its people, the world itself would do everything possible to destroy them.

"No! I'm different. I'm not like them!" Mei Lin protested, her usual calm replaced by fear and anxiety. "I have a loving family; my family is one of the strongest in the Martial Domain. Nothing will happen to me if I just stay there."

"Sigh, you don't understand, my child," the old man said, sighing. "You are inside a world that wants to kill you. It doesn't matter who you are, how strong your family is, or anything of the sort. Everything ultimately falls under the world's domain, and if it wills your death, then you will die. It's as simple as that."

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Mei Lin shouted, her face contorted in fear and distress.

Orion and Mark looked at her, feeling conflicted as they processed the knowledge that their fates would likely end in a similar way.

"If you don't believe me, let me show you what happened to the two transmigrators who I dare say is in the safest location of this world," the old man said, looking at Orion, then at Mei Lin. He then swung his hand and a big screen appeared in front of them which displayed 'Loading...'.

Orion's heartbeat quickened at the old man's words. 'The safest place in the Montreux Universe...? No! It can't be!'
