Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 437 What Roland Forbids

"Don't be so blunt. After all, there are people here who don't really want to see you. Mr. God, since you've been playing dumb until now, why can't you just keep playing dumb to the end!" Roland smiled. Of course, he knew who the person he had been discussing things with for so long was.

That was the ancient god Angelweid, and also God Old Deng.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Angelweid is equivalent to God. It's just that the Angelweid personality sealed here has long been indistinguishable from God due to the pollution of the Chaos Sea, somewhat similar to the situation before the Eternal Sun.

"Are you talking about yourself, or... this little kitten?" The voice inside the door seemed to chuckle. It was clear that it knew what was going on outside. It said with a sigh, "I'm surprised that you would choose it. I thought the witch was your preferred choice, or the destined child."

These words were clearly addressed to the will of the City of Calamity.

Do you think I wanted to choose? No, I didn't have a choice!

The Will of the City of Calamity inwardly grumbled, but dared not voice it. It merely shook its fur and said, "Whom I choose is none of your business, but you..."

The will of the City of Calamity seemed to have thought of something interesting and said, "You claim to be omniscient and omnipotent, and you can indeed always foresee the future and make plans early on. Even the Celestial Venerable, who has the same origin and equal strength as you, is actually no match for you in my opinion."

"Then, great God, have you foreseen today, have you foreseen the present?" The voice of the City of Calamity's Will carried undisguised schadenfreude; it was the words of an old hunter.

As the saying goes, "If you are not well, it is a sunny day for me." The will of the City of Calamity clearly has no good feelings towards God, the one who once forcibly accommodated Him. So now that He sees God looking like He has been wronged by Rolin, He feels both gloating and a sense of balance.

So it turns out he wasn't the only one who was unlucky!
The being inside the door remained silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said with a sigh, "Sometimes I really don't understand. Whether it's you or the mysterious one, you know perfectly well that what you say will offend people, so why do you still do it so enthusiastically?"

"Heh, a social butterfly like you who can chat with anyone wouldn't understand." The Will of the City of Calamity was clearly not ashamed of this at all; on the contrary, it was very proud of it.

"I truly don't understand," the voice from inside the door readily admitted. Then, it seemed to chuckle before saying, "Calamity, why have you become such a little kitten?"

The will of the City of Calamity froze instantly, and the next second, every hair on its body stood on end. It gritted its teeth and said, "None of your business!"

"Heh!" The being inside the door chuckled again.

"So many years have passed, and you're still just as annoying as ever." The will of the City of Calamity squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, then turned its head away, seemingly no longer wanting to pay attention to the beings inside the gate.

The being inside the gate didn't care. It spoke again, but not to the will of the City of Calamity:

“Roland, I look forward to your ability to truly resurrect the Sun God.”

Luo Lin chuckled upon hearing this and said, "What, you want a 2.0 version of the Primordial being revived within the Sun God?"

"Is it not allowed?" the being inside the door said leisurely, "Isn't this exactly what you want, and in accordance with our bet? If He can suppress me, then you win."

"This is also your only chance to return." Roland was not surprised by God's choice. The closer one gets to God, the more likely God will be resurrected within one's body. With Roland around, God has absolutely no chance of being resurrected in the bodies of Eternal Sun and others. Therefore, the Sun God is the best choice.

The sun god, who is closest to God, is also the best vessel for God's resurrection. Even Asgard is somewhat inferior to Him.

besides……

“Even if you lose, you’ve still contributed to the resurrection of the Sun God. In that case, I really can’t be too harsh on you.” Roland said with a smile, and then added with a sigh, “Is it a common trait of you viewers to always have a backup plan?” “Isn’t that good?” the voice from inside the door retorted. “That’s the best choice for everyone, whether it’s you or me.”

"Heh!" Luo Lin chuckled and said, "You seem to be much more polite to me this time than last time, because you've noticed more of my true nature?"

The voice inside the door didn't deny it, but simply said, "Roland, everyone in this world can live, so why can't I?"

"I just want to live."

"Of course you can live, like Angelweid's second resurrection contingency plan, living at the Sequence 2 level, then nobody will care about you. But what you need is never just to live, but to live as God."

Rowling smiled and said, "I will not allow a God to escape my control, that's the answer."

He allowed the sun god to become God because the sun god was his friend, and because Rolin had a considerable understanding of the sun god and knew how to keep this savior in check.

In other words, the Sun God is actually under Rolin's control. The world is the Sun God's Achilles' heel, and in order to protect the world, the Sun God will never be the first to turn against it.

But what about God?

God has no weaknesses. The only thing that can check and balance God is probably the very beginning, and even the Celestial Venerable is not quite there yet.

But once the original Creator is revived, it will bring destruction.

Therefore, Rowling would not allow God to be resurrected as God.

"...That's a straightforward and domineering answer." After a few seconds of silence inside the door, someone said, "That's why you proposed the bet."

Regardless of the outcome of the wager, Rowling would not allow God to be resurrected, but the same wager would also result in God being "resurrected," in the form of the Shadow of Time.

However, at that time, God will be "controlled" by Rowling.

“Yes!” Rowling nodded very frankly, smiling as he said, “This is also your opportunity, isn’t it? Or is it that the all-knowing and all-powerful God had no foresight whatsoever about his original future and his original destiny?”

The being inside the door chuckled and said, "So what if you foresaw it? So what if you didn't? Fate is the most unpredictable thing. Even those who claim to be omniscient and omnipotent are nothing more than struggling in the face of predetermined fate."

"Your appearance might actually be a good thing for me."

Luo Lin smiled upon hearing this and said, "Then you should thank me, but of course, I don't care about that."

He then turned around and said, "Thank you for your resurrection plan. Although I don't believe you, it does have some value. If the Sun God is resurrected as a result, I will remember to give you a little red flower."

The voice inside the door seemed to laugh, but then again, it seemed not to.
