Mystery: Chaos Path

#165 - The Sun God and the Forsaken Land

The Ancient Sun God gazed at the continent shrouded in darkness before him, and a sense of temporal displacement arose within him. He had experienced this feeling when he was first summoned to the future, but it had never been as clear as it was today.

In the era in which He lived, the Eastern Continent was still the center of the world. The Ancient Sun God had established His kingdom upon this continent. He had even, just recently, inspected this very land before him.

The Ancient Sun God remembered the city-states on this land at that time, and also the passionate and hardworking people. He remembered that at the end of his line of sight was a flower garden. Every year when spring came, all kinds of flowers bloomed vying for beauty in the garden. His believers would select the best blooming flowers from among them to offer as sacrifices to Him. He remembered when He walked through this flower garden, a blue and white butterfly occasionally landed on His shoulder.

These memories were still clear, their colors not yet faded, but at this moment, all that was before the Ancient Sun God was only the ruins of buildings, the restless monsters, and the lightning that appeared from time to time in the sky.

The Ancient Sun God suddenly recalled a long time ago, when He had just awakened from the Chaos Sea. It was the same then. It seemed like in the blink of an eye, the world had already undergone great changes. He had lost everything familiar and awakened in a strange era, then tirelessly began to work to save humanity.

And now, He opened his eyes in the future because of Rosellin's miraculous ability. The once familiar Eastern Continent was now a ruin, and the people He had liberated from the Extraordinary races were now trapped in a new round of oppression.

"It's like closing your eyes and opening them, and all your progress has been reset, right! I understand you. I'm the same. You close your eyes and open them, and the world you just saved needs saving again."

Rosellin's voice sounded beside him, unusually tinged with melancholy. He sighed and said, "The worst thing is that you only discover in this version that the final boss is another version of you after you've defeated the final boss of the previous version. It's too坑爹了(kēng diē le - a Chinese internet slang meaning 'screwed over by your parents' which implies being cheated, deceived or trapped')."

The Ancient Sun God's originally sentimental and melancholic mood was suddenly interrupted. He paused for a moment before looking at Rosellin beside him, and said, "I thought you wouldn't want to save the world."

Although he always said nonsense like "Rosellin is gentle at heart" and "Rosellin is a good child," the Ancient Sun God was, after all, half a God, possessing the authority of the Audience pathway, so how could he not see Rosellin's attitude towards certain things.

"I certainly don't want to save the world, but sometimes it's just being forced to do it!" Rosellin spread his hands, not caring whether the Ancient Sun God would hear anything from it, and said.

"I can't really just watch my world be destroyed, right? I still have some feelings for it. Fortunately, I have you now, so I don't have to be the savior!" At the end, Rosellin looked at the Ancient Sun God with a smile.

The Ancient Sun God glanced at Rosellin, and then revealed a gentle smile. He did not deny Rosellin's words. He just looked at Rosellin seriously and said, "I will save my world, no matter what the cost."

Rosellin naturally understood the implication of the Ancient Sun God's words—He would stop anyone who wanted to destroy the world, including Rosellin.

Rosellin was neither surprised nor concerned about this. He smiled and said, "I believe you can do it, so let's go, Mr. Sun God. Before saving the world, let's save Silver City first."

The Ancient Sun God glanced at Rosellin and nodded gently. The two of them began to hurry on their way—more accurately, the Ancient Sun God led Rosellin on his way, and also carried a medium with a built-in alternate space.

Because the Land of the Forsaken is isolated from the spirit world, it is impossible to travel through methods that interact with the spirit world. But just as Amon could shorten the travel time by stealing distance, it was naturally not difficult for an Ancient Sun God, a half-Old One, to reach Silver City in a short time.

While the Ancient Sun God was on his way, inside the alternate space, Klein was sizing up a familiar Night Watcher.

That's right, this Night Watcher that Klein found familiar was naturally Leonard, who was originally receiving Red Gloves training in the Silent Church. Even because he had come in a hurry, Leonard hadn't even taken off his clothes, let alone his iconic Red Gloves, making it clear at a glance that he was an official Extraordinary of the Night Church.

While Klein was sizing up Leonard, Leonard was frowning and looking in another direction, which was where Mr. A was.

As the first official member of the Looney Club, Mr. A naturally participated in this Looney Club activity. At this moment, he was squatting quietly like a mushroom in the corner, constantly praying to the True Creator, his eyes cautiously looking to the side from time to time.

Standing next to Mr. A was Uroboros, the Angel of Fate, who was the main force in the "Fooling" operation. At this moment, Uroboros was standing in front of an easel, holding a paintbrush in his right hand, as if he was painting something.

Standing with the Angel of Fate Uroboros was Medici. Mr. Red Angel was holding an apple in one hand and gnawing on it, probably to carry out the principle of "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" to the end. The other hand was coiling the Conqueror characteristic, as if playing with some toy.

A little further away from these two, Bernadette Gustav quietly stood there, like a real coconut tree. Behind the coconut tree were Maric, who was slightly restrained, and Sharon, who was as quiet as a doll.

However, these seemingly quiet Coconut Tree and Puppeteer master and disciple were obviously both cold on the outside and enthusiastic on the inside, with a personality that loved to watch the excitement. At this moment, they both couldn't help but prick up their ears and listen to the conversation between Azik and Rosellin, who was wearing the Jack persona.

"That is to say, Mr. Azik, during the Death Consul period, you read Mr. Door's works?" Rosellin looked at Azik with bright eyes, almost impatiently, and said, "Do you still remember the content of those works?"

"I still remember some of them, and some I don't remember very clearly. I may be able to remember them after my memory is further restored." Azik replied gently, and said even laughed and added: "If you really want it, Jack, I can try to write down what I remember."

无一错 一首 一发 一内 一容 一 在 一一看! (wú yī cuò yī shǒu yī fā yī nèi yī róng yī zài yī yī kàn!) - This is a nonsense sentence.

"Mr. Azik, you are really a good person!" Rosellin unhesitatingly gave Azik a "good person" card.

"It's just a small thing within my power. Jack, you've helped me a lot, and I also want to try my best to help you get what you want." Azik obviously didn't think there was anything to it, and smiled gently.

"Azik, reliable!" Rosellin gave Azik a thumbs up, and then looked at Klein next to him. Seeing that he was still looking at Leonard, he immediately reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Why are you watching so intently? You wouldn't be a gay, would you?"
