I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

"Gentlemen, you have all overlooked one issue—what we will face in the future is not a war against the gods, but an apocalypse caused by the gods' destined fall."

War can be escaped, because no matter how far the war spreads, there will always be a peaceful sanctuary within this great star realm for us to live in.

But the apocalypse is not war; it cannot be escaped.

This apocalypse is essentially a collapse of the laws of nature, a massive collapse that occurs at all times and in all places.

Once the apocalypse arrives, the Great Astral Plane will rapidly collapse in its storms.

And the speed at which it spreads far exceeds that of light and time.

Therefore, no matter how far or how fast we flee, we are destined to be unable to escape this storm, because as long as we have been in a place where the storm is bound to occur, our present and future will inevitably be swallowed up by it.

Everyone suddenly understood what the Thousand-Eyed King meant.

The apocalypse is inevitable and will come to this world. This apocalypse will not only affect the future, but also the past, present, and future.

Therefore, it will destroy the past of this world.

Wizards once lived in this world, and therefore their past will be destroyed by the apocalypse. In this way, wizards disappear from their very origins. Therefore, wizards cannot escape the apocalypse.

In a sense, this apocalypse triggered a destruction of causality. Distance itself from it is meaningless.

The King of a Thousand Eyes continued, "Just as Johnson, Williams, and Utred said before, this apocalypse is not far from us. Perhaps we only have three generations left."

And once it arrives, everything will end.

After a moment of contemplation, Catherine said, "Father is right. Besides, the astral plane is full of pastures of the gods, and these pastures are all connected to the heavens."

Perhaps before the end of the world arrives, those of us who choose to flee will first plunge into the territory of heaven and collide with it.

By then, the wizards of the East had long since left the ocean of the lower world, and the gods would no longer hesitate to act against the 'Book of Madness'.

And because we are now far removed from this entrance to the ocean of the lower world, we will no longer be able to rely on the power of the lower world to fight against Heaven.

After Catherine finished speaking, Harland interjected, "Your Highness is absolutely right. Staying is the best option. Because in this way, even if we cannot win, we will have the power to perish together with the gods."

Upon hearing this, old Johnson immediately exploded, saying, "Harland, what do you mean? Do you think we should take those mad books and jump into the ocean of the underworld?"

"Why not!"

Harland said with a compassionate tone, "Just as Your Majesty said, the end times are coming, and all living things in the Great Star Realm have not yet foreseen all of this."

We, situated at the starting point of the apocalypse, are the only ones who can save the world.

We must, and we certainly will, shoulder this important responsibility.

If sacrificing ourselves can save the world, then what's wrong with offering ourselves up?

“Don’t be fooled by this old man’s pitying appearance,” Brianna whispered to Roland. “It’s all an excuse! What this old madman really wants to talk about is this ‘sacrifice’! He still believes you are that foolish god Alaye! He wants to sacrifice us all to you!”

Roland's expression immediately turned somewhat unpleasant. He had intended to mention the 'Alaye Butterfly Project,' but decided to keep his mouth shut.

“Harland,” old Johnson said to Harland, “I don’t know what kind of evil rituals you’ve been studying in the Old Church lately, but even if Roland isn’t a descendant of the Alayer family, but rather that foolish god that the family is fighting against, we still can’t win.”

“Indeed.” Williams stroked his beard and said, “I’ve been studying the Dawn of Light and Roland’s ‘All of Me’ lately. I’ve come up with a plan—to use the Dawn of Light to contribute all our power to Roland. But unless we all become mad gods and Roland can withstand such an astronomical amount of mad evil power, it’s impossible to succeed.”

"Williams, it was definitely a mistake to involve you in the Dawn of Light research!"

An old man from the Black Abyss cursed, "You really are just like that old codger, researching this kind of evil stuff behind our backs again."

"But to be honest, this is indeed one option."

One of the Twilight Wizard Elders said, "Before we discovered the light of dawn, before we stormed the riverbanks, while we still fantasized that the Church and Heaven held the trump card to judge us all, many of us were already prepared to be prisoners."

Self-destruction as a prisoner is a sacrifice, as is sacrificing oneself to a foolish god. The latter doesn't consume life, but rather reason. The light of dawn, however, can save us from madness.

Therefore, this plan is indeed feasible.

Upon hearing this, the wizards in the room all fell into deep thought.

None of the wizards who made it this far from the East were afraid of death, nor did any of them cherish their lives.

They may study black magic or white magic. Whether they have moral issues or are selfless, they are all unwavering idealists when it comes to the ideals of magic.

Therefore, in order for magic to continue to exist in the world, and for the tree of truth and wisdom to remain, these magical idealists are willing to sacrifice everything.

Therefore, faced with the Garden of Eden, a place devoid of wisdom and truth, no one would choose to enter.

Therefore, even in their most desperate moments, these people did not think of crawling in the Garden of Eden, but instead pondered how to achieve victory.

Even if this plan is incredibly disastrous.

"Let's stop discussing these things," old Johnson said, waving his hand. "It's making Roland sound like some kind of foolish god."

Many wizards wholeheartedly agreed with this view. They had all visited the Forbidden Library, and there, Roland's Book of Madness was not found!

"Ahem, gentlemen, may I ask a question?" Roland couldn't help but ask, "What is the mainstream public opinion regarding this war?"

"The people are naturally in favor of war."

Some have said, "As the study of the Dawn Light progresses, wizards have indeed discovered that the gods who created and destroyed this miracle possessed terrifying power."

People also believe that even if they fall into depravity, once the divine realm and the human realm are connected, they will surely have the power to destroy us.

Therefore, even though the wizards are unaware of the truth that the gods are mad gods, they are aware of the power gap between us and the Kingdom of Heaven.

Therefore, for everyone, the current situation is no different from the situation before we stormed the riverbank.

Therefore, the public has consistently advocated for war.

“Especially after seeing the living conditions of the believers in the South,” an elder sighed. “The people of the East have seen the light, and the wizards cannot imagine what it is like to be slaves in a world where there is no wisdom or truth, only ignorance.”

If you're going to be a slave, you might as well fight back. They all believed that they could find a way to win and that they would definitely achieve final victory.

After all, dawn will come sooner or later; it's just a matter of which generation will see it. (End of Chapter)
