I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

Roland did not intend to take the position of the God of Dawn, or at least he thought it was not appropriate now, because once he was baptized, it would provoke the King of a Thousand Eyes.

He believes that the most crucial thing now is to stabilize the situation in the Eastern Realm and allow the King of a Thousand Eyes to be baptized and ascend to the position of the chief god.

Therefore, Roland believed that the positions of the three of them could be discussed later, but the position of the King of a Thousand Eyes had to be given first.

Many of the main gods believed that Roland and Aurelia were not suitable to wield the scepter of the Dawn of Light, or at least that it was inappropriate for these two individuals with criminal records to hold such important authority at such a critical moment.

Furthermore, some of the main gods genuinely hoped that the Thousand-Eyed King would enter the High Council, so Roland and Olivia's words resonated with them.

But the gods remained silent.

Olivia had no idea what Roland was up to, but she echoed his sentiments. She held a high position in Heaven, and her suggestion undoubtedly amplified the weight of Roland's words.

Seeing that Olivia and Roland strongly opposed their taking the throne, the gods began to whisper among themselves about the matter.

The heavens gradually became noisy.

Just then, one of the main gods finally spoke.

"The matter concerning the three of you has already been passed. It was Ulamunus's decision that you would wield the scepter of dawn. Therefore, there is no need to discuss this matter further."

As for the position of Twilight God, Heaven has other arrangements. Heaven will inform you of the results after Uramunus awakens.
Roland sighed inwardly, thinking, 'It seems this matter can't be changed. But it sounds like my father-in-law will also have a divine position. Although I don't know if it's at the level of a chief god, Heaven made this promise to appease my father-in-law, so the position shouldn't be too low.'

Moreover, it will definitely be arranged before we are baptized.

Something is better than nothing; at least we'll have one more advantage in the final battle.
The location of Roland and his companions shouldn't actually be discussed today. It's just that Roland asked too many questions, and the gods, to appease him, showed him the cake that Heaven would give him later.

Olivia was very concerned about who was in charge among the three of them, so she pressed for details.

"The three of you don't know who's in charge."
Since the conversation had already reached this point, the gods decided to tell the two of them the details.

The positions bestowed upon Roland and his two companions were not those of chief gods, but rather those of archangels of the highest order. They would be above all gods, but below the supreme god; belonging to the order below one god and above all others.

Strictly speaking, their status is more exalted than that of the main gods, but they only have divine positions and divine status, but no divine duties.

Therefore, although their status is higher than that of all the gods, they do not belong to the management of the Heavenly Kingdom. They can only participate in discussions, not make decisions. And the power they enjoy in the High Council is also less than that of the chief god—the three of them together have only one vote.

It sounds like the position of the Third Holy Mother back then—a vacant post. But it's not as prestigious as the Third Holy Mother, because she wasn't some archangel, but a being on par with the Supreme God. Moreover, their opinions were highly valued in the High Council.

Although they never participate in any high-level council matters, they all have veto power.

Therefore, this so-called archangel doesn't seem very impressive. He's not even as good as the sinecure positions Roland's mothers held in Heaven.

However, the Kingdom of Heaven established the Eastern Plane as the 'Kingdom of Alaye'. Therefore, the Eastern Plane became completely independent and was no longer under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Heaven.

After listening, Roland immediately understood what the gods meant—the vassal king.

According to the gods, the Kingdom of Alay belongs exclusively to Roland, who is the lord of this kingdom, while Olivia and Oleiri are its guardian deities.

Furthermore, one of the chief gods hinted that Olivia would have another position besides that of the god of dawn. Judging from their words, this position is likely related to the River Styx.

Roland guessed it might be the Lord of the River Styx. The River Styx connects all planes, so if it is the Lord of the River Styx, then the power is immense.

As for Aurelia, she will also receive other rewards, possibly allowing her to choose from some of the planes she has always favored. Furthermore, she will possess the power to inspire followers and preach in all planes. This is a significant advantage.

"And what about Twilight God?" Roland pressed on.

A supreme deity sighed, seemingly annoyed by Roland's persistent questioning, and said, "[It will satisfy Him.]"
Roland breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, 'I understand. I'll talk to my father-in-law when I get back and make him ask for an exorbitant price.' Finally, a chief god said, 'Alaye, Heraca. You were once an unruly evil god, and a rebel who led the traitors in a war against Heaven, challenging the authority of the supreme god.'

Now, Ulamonus has forgiven you. Remember your past mistakes and repent.
Roland and Olivia's expressions both stiffened slightly.

And so, the meeting came to an end.

The main reason the gods are present today is to observe Roland and Olivia, and to see if their relationship is truly stable.

Both of them were undoubtedly very stable, especially Roland. The gods could sense that even without the suppression of the Dawn's Light, this guy could control his madness.

As for Olivia, although she was far less stable than Roland, the order of the Dawn of Light was able to keep her under complete control.

Therefore, the gods were satisfied with this meeting.

Moreover, judging from Roland's behavior, although he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about the royal bestowal and didn't show much desire to belong, the gods could see that Roland was very nervous and concerned about the matter after learning of the major changes to come.

This is enough.

As for Olivia, she yearned for everything in heaven. She hoped for true salvation and to return to heaven with Roland. She also hoped that heaven would approve of her proposed 'wizard reformation'.

Heaven granted all her wishes, and gave her even more than she had asked for.

As the meeting drew to a close, a distant gaze fell upon Heaven, upon Olivia.

That gaze carried a hint of tenderness, understanding, and guilt.

Upon feeling that gaze, Olivia prostrated herself on the ground, moved to tears.

The Father God finally understood him and supported him.

I am right. Only by developing the wizards can the Kingdom of Heaven have a future.

—Before today, Olivia had considered whether, if things didn't go well, she should stand with the wizards once again and start the war of the gods, just like she did 70,000 years ago.

Now, everything has been resolved in the best possible way.

She was extremely happy.

So, as their souls followed the light of dawn back to the prayer room, Olivia was still in tears.

She shared many of her thoughts with Roland, envisioning their true future, but Roland remained silent.

Like Catherine, the confidante Olivia also understands Roland well.

Seeing his expression, Olivia knew that this guy wasn't interested in the promises from heaven at all.

"Roland, isn't this result good enough?"

Roland sighed and said, "Diana, O'Reilly thinks this shouldn't be told to you, because you certainly won't agree."

But ultimately it is you who will destroy the whole world, so how could this be kept from you forever?
The decisive battle is about to begin, and I think it's time to be honest.

Olivia: "???" (End of Chapter)
