Chapter 497: Chapter497-Severing Karmic Ties

Holly sped through Celestial Academy, anxiously searching for the Celestial Grand Oracle.

She shouted loudly,

"Father! Sophis is in danger! Please, you have to save him!"

Her eyes were already red with tears.

Suddenly, the voice of the Celestial Grand Oracle sounded above her head.

He deliberately asked,

"How do you know that he is in danger?"

Holly was both embarrassed and frantic.

She stammered,

"I—I exchanged the Primordial Supreme Treasure you gave me for a pair of Chaos Locks."

"My Chaos Lock and Sophis’s Chaos Lock are now bound together."

"Whenever either of us encounters danger, the locks will issue a warning."

At this point, she gritted her teeth and continued,

"Moreover, if either one of us dies, the other will die as well."

"The truth is... Sophis and I secretly pledged ourselves to each other long ago."

"Father, you must save him."

"Otherwise, your daughter will die with him."

How profound was the Celestial Grand Oracle’s mastery of the Law of Fate?

How could he possibly fail to see that the destinies and karmic threads of his daughter and Sophis had already become deeply intertwined?

Under the current circumstances, however, he merely wanted his mischievous daughter to admit the truth with her own mouth.

After hearing her confession, the Celestial Grand Oracle released a long sigh.

"Ah, a grown daughter truly cannot be kept at home."

"I bestowed a treasure upon you, yet you exchanged it for the Chaos Locks."

"Since you and Sophis share such deep affection, I will help remove the restriction binding the two of you."

As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the Celestial Grand Oracle flicked his finger.

A streak of light immediately appeared and entered Holly’s body.

Holly instantly felt as though an invisible bond within her had been forcibly severed.

Her face turned deathly pale.

Why had the Celestial Grand Oracle done that?

Had he decided to abandon Sophis?

Tears immediately poured from Holly’s eyes.

She cried out,

"Father, please! You must save Sophis!"

"As long as you are willing to save him, I will obey every instruction you give me from now on!"

The Celestial Grand Oracle raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"Do you truly mean that?"

Holly was already on the verge of collapsing into tears.

"I mean it, Father!"

"As long as you save him, I will do anything!"

Seeing that he had achieved his objective, the Celestial Grand Oracle stopped teasing her.

He immediately said,

"It is not impossible for me to save him."

"However, you must swear a Cosmic Oath."

"For all eternity, you must never meet Sophis again."

"Otherwise..."

The Celestial Grand Oracle paused before continuing,

"All of your cultivation will be completely crippled."

The moment Holly heard those words, a deafening hum erupted inside her mind.

Her thoughts went completely blank.

What?

He wanted her to swear a Cosmic Oath never to meet Sophis again for all eternity?

If she violated the oath, every trace of her cultivation would be reduced to nothing.

If her cultivation were destroyed, she would become an ordinary mortal.

She would no longer be able to withstand even the hardships of the natural world, and her lifespan would become pitifully short—less than a mere hundred years.

Even more terrifyingly, she would no longer be able to preserve her youth.

By the time she reached old age, she would be forced to live on in an aged and withered body.

If she maintained her current Rank, however, she could easily live for millions of years.

Compared to her present lifespan, a hundred years would pass in little more than the blink of an eye.

For someone like Holly, the punishment for violating the oath would be incomparably cruel and severe.

Moreover, every talented cultivator possessed the desire to become stronger.

By forcing her to swear such an oath, her father was clearly certain that she would never dare violate it.

Holly drew in a sharp breath.

Her heart pounded violently.

Anxiety and anger surged within her.

He actually wants me to swear a Cosmic Oath.

The binding power of a Cosmic Oath is terrifying.

Unless I can cultivate all the way to Eternal Divine-grade, I will remain bound by it forever.

But if I swear this oath, I will never be able to see Brother Sophis again for all eternity.

How would that be any different from losing him completely?

Yet if I refuse, Sophis is currently in extreme danger.

He may die somewhere at any moment.

He cannot die.

I have to save him!

Having reached this decision, Holly gritted her teeth.

Her gaze gradually became firm.

She stared at her father and declared through clenched teeth,

"I agree to swear the oath."

"I, Holly, swear before the universe that I will never meet Sophis again for all eternity."

"If I violate this oath, may all of my cultivation be completely destroyed!"

By the time she shouted the final words, she had nearly exhausted every trace of Strength in her body.

The instant she completed the oath, her body collapsed weakly to the ground.

Tears overflowed from her eyes and blurred her vision.

At the same time, her heart shattered into countless pieces.

Now that the Cosmic Oath had been formed, she could never violate it for all eternity.

Otherwise, the punishment of the oath would immediately descend upon her.

Holly had sacrificed her own future in exchange for Sophis’s survival.

The Celestial Grand Oracle had finally achieved his goal.

He nodded expressionlessly.

"I can help you now."

He had already divined Sophis’s future.

Although the young man possessed limitless potential, far too many tribulations awaited him.

Every single one of them would be a life-or-death calamity.

If Sophis failed to survive even one, he would perish instantly.

The Celestial Grand Oracle could not allow his daughter to remain by the side of such a dangerous man.

Otherwise, she would almost certainly live the rest of her life in loneliness and suffering.

It would be better to sever her connection with Sophis now, before an even greater tragedy occurred.

Even if she never married anyone for the rest of her life, that would still be preferable.

The Celestial Grand Oracle naturally understood how deep the karmic bond between Holly and Sophis had become.

It was already so profound that it would eventually involve him as well.

Therefore, he had to save Sophis.

Only by doing so could he completely sever the karma between both sides.

...

At the same time, within the Sirius Secret Realm, an unremarkable-looking figure suddenly appeared.

The figure completely ignored every restriction and law within the secret realm.

All forms of suppression became ineffective in his presence.

He proceeded unobstructed until he arrived directly before Grand Oracle Sirius.

Grand Oracle Sirius appeared to have known in advance that an honored guest would arrive.

A tea table had already been prepared before him.

He gestured for the newly arrived Celestial Grand Oracle to sit down and converse over tea.

However, the Celestial Grand Oracle rejected the invitation.

He did not sit.

Instead, he spoke indifferently.

"Sirius, you have imprisoned my disciple Sophis."

"You may release him now."

The Celestial Grand Oracle was a T8 Oracle-grade powerhouse.

Grand Oracle Sirius, on the other hand, possessed only T7 Oracle-grade cultivation.

Therefore, the Celestial Grand Oracle had no need to speak politely to him.

Grand Oracle Sirius, however, showed no fear whatsoever.

Through the karmic threads of fate, he had already glimpsed certain secrets.

Those secrets were enough to ensure that he had no reason to fear anything at this moment.

Grand Oracle Sirius remained perfectly composed.

He smiled and said,

"Celestial Grand Oracle, your disciple Sophis shares an irreconcilable blood feud with me."

"The karma between us runs exceedingly deep."

"If I release him today, there is no guarantee that he will not return and cause trouble for me in the future."

"If you were in my position, would you release someone like that?"
