The AI's forced repair had just triggered the trap I buried. Every order the system processed from now on would be treated as a free promotional giveaway. The company's losses would be beyond imagination. The countdown had officially begun.

Varak shouted. Garrick looked toward Kael. Blood spread across his clothing. The King held him firmly. "Stay alive." Garrick laughed weakly. "I do not think I deserve that." "That is not your decision." The former council leader grabbed Kael's arm. "The Heart." Kael leaned closer. "What about it?" Garrick's breathing became uneven. "Your mother was right." Riven moved closer. "What does that mean?" Garrick looked at him. "The seal requires the three heirs."

"It's cold. It's fading because the land above died of emotional heartbreak and despair." "Then we don't fight it," I murmured, turning to face him fully on the edge of the altar. "We give it what it's missing." The Fire Anchor was the heart of life, passion, and emotional warmth. Where the Water Seal represented purity and adaptability, and the Earth Seal represented endurance, the Fire Seal was the raw, unyielding spark of love and vitality that kept a world alive. To awaken it with steel or harsh magic would only shatter its delicate core forever.

They waved counting sticks in one hand, a carefully unearthed funeral urn in the other, and—most arresting of all—a newly uncovered seal depicting Durga astride a tiger, poised for battle. Kaelan’s eyes widened at the image, his pulse quickening. The scholars jabbered on, their enthusiasm a blur, but he could only focus on the seal, on the fierce energy it seemed to radiate. In that moment, he felt the weight of the prophecy pressing closer, the threads of past and present tangling in ways he had not anticipated.

Below were the 100 IDs I'd chosen: KeyboardFury, NetJudge, GossipLover. Each had a red progress bar. Next to KeyboardFury showed [31/100].

“Unlike how it is on you, the Elysian Seal isn’t as powerful on ordinary humans. “Your physical body is extraordinary, and you’ve obtained Emperor Jabari’s legacy. Moreover, you’ve obtained the Infinity Steles. Thus, you carry a significant amount of Karma, which strengthens the Elysian Seal’s effect on you.” Hearing this, James had a clearer understanding. In other words, the Elysian Seal’s strength depends on the achievements one had obtained on their cultivation road as well as one’s potential and strength.

I had learned some lessons. Cassian reached first, but Mara smacked his hand. Both of us stared at her. “What?” she said. “Maybe let the dead captain check the magical death paper.” Kaeron stepped forward. “I can.” Cassian looked offended. I smiled. Mara was becoming unstoppable. Kaeron took the parchment. Blue-white light moved over the seal. A wolf’s head wrapped in thorns. Damien’s crest. My stomach turned.
