Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

At this moment, he was eighty or ninety percent certain that the person in front of him was that person!

This intuition alone accounts for 80-90% of the case. As for the remaining 10-20% verification, Gao Fa Yige didn't dare to verify it himself. If this was a dream—!

'Please, please don't let me wake up so soon—!!'

'But—he wouldn't mistake me for Ash, would he?!'

'What should I do? Should I reveal my true identity now…—even confess my purpose in coming to humanity?'

'It's all over, all over, all over, all over—! Ah, ahhh, ahhhh!'

The witch, who was already internally calling herself a groundhog, didn't even realize when Ye and Freya had led her away from the crowd. When she finally came to her senses, she found herself holding hands with Ye.

And so, Gao Fa Yige's mind exploded once again.

This, this, this—!!

Chapter 79 I'm not washing my hands! Freya: She knows nothing and is no threat.

“……!!!” Gao Fa Yige.

I—!! I've held hands with the supreme creator of humankind, the mighty Sun King?!

Ah! This feeling of fear and overwhelming joy, mixed with panic, even gave him the urge to never wash his hands again until he entered the tomb.

No, no, no, maybe I'm just too focused on Y. How could I possibly run into the Sun King himself so easily and by such a coincidence? Maybe it's just a delusion caused by my intense desire for this feeling, and I'm mistaking him for someone else.

But if it weren't for His Highness the Sun King, Gao Fa Yige would have already been so disgusted by this rude behavior that he couldn't help but take action. The body's response is the most 'honest' and the best way to show that this witch is being hypocritical. Deep down, she believed the truth much faster than she imagined.

After all, that king once said, "A heart that knows shame is beautiful." Therefore, not only Ash, but also High Fa Yig also acquired such a shy heart. He is extremely conservative and will never allow anyone who does not truly acknowledge him to touch his body.

Wait, something's not right—!

Runes—!! The magical script I just learned was clearly 'runes'! Gao Fa Yige suddenly thought of evidence that could prove the person in front of him was the familiar figure from his memories.

Finally, even though the demonic nature of knowledge prevented him from glimpsing the specific details of the mysterious knowledge related to Ash Learning when inheriting the genetic blueprint, Gao Fa Yige could at least see the names and general concepts of that knowledge from those fragmented memories.

She knew that Ash had once studied something called Rune with the Creator for a period of time, a very magical power. (Concepts like governing the world are passively blurred; High Priest Ig only knew that this power was magical and only the Night could use it.)

The script she just learned looks very similar to the legendary runic script!

She remembered that when Ye taught her earlier, he called it runes. Could runes be the mysterious and powerful runes from her memories?

For a moment, Gao Fayige felt even more turbulent and extremely uneasy.

And so—because of this unexpected discovery, Night and Freya temporarily stopped and stayed in the village.

Night began teaching the witch, who shared a similar appearance with Ash, how to properly wield the power of 'fire,' while also instructing her in other magical systems he had uniquely developed, best suited for witches. He was not stingy with this primal power, coveted even by gods, for a witch with a heart dedicated to helping humanity.

There was a brief interlude in between. When asked about the real name of the high-ranking witch Yig, she couldn't keep calling her "witch, witch."

Gao Fa Yige: "I..."

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Ye her real name, but when it came down to it, the worry and panic in her heart were completely uncontrollable.

Even if she was being insincere, at this moment, Gao Fa Yige clearly understood one thing—that she herself seemed, no—was certain that she cherished this hard-won connection with the person in front of her.

Although both are human, the Sun King only ever took Queen Ash as his disciple. Perhaps it was because of his face and his subconscious imitation of Ash's tone that the King mistook him for her and thus began to teach him.

Once it's discovered that he isn't the Queen herself, but a fake, how will he be treated as a fake? At this moment, Gao Fa Yige's biggest worry isn't whether he will be destroyed, but rather the loss of the gentle patience and attention he's received from her.

Night, who did not wait for his reply, did not react in any special way. He simply continued to explain the simple application of magic spells, such as how to shorten the spell's duration by combining it with high-speed incantations.

In fact, if Gao Fa Yige had the complete memories of Ash, he should have realized by now that he had already been exposed. After all, Ash's learning progress was far beyond what he needed to learn at this level. Even Loki, the god of fire, could instantly complete a spell to suppress Ash's godhood.

Night didn't press the matter further, which relieved Gao Fa Yige. Afterwards, although one taught and the other learned, and although their relationship was never officially defined, they subtly began to resemble a true master and student. Their understanding grew stronger during the learning process, and because Gao Fa Yige had guessed some of Night's identity, he would occasionally steal glances at his teacher, sometimes revealing expressions of longing, infatuation, and reverence.

Just like a fangirl who has successfully met her idol, with an excited flushed face, aside from the occasional worry that her identity might be exposed and she would be abandoned by her teacher, this is the most emotionally excited period that Gao Fa Yige has ever experienced since her birth.

Of course, if his identity were exposed and he were treated with cold eyes and attitude by Ye, Gao Fa Yige would rather his body be destroyed. After all, he was a counterfeit anyway, and continuing to live in that kind of world was not as meaningful as dying!

Freya witnessed all of this and felt an increasing emotional crisis!

Freya: '...! Do you even know what kind of man you're interested in? He's a human...'

Several times Freya even considered whether to directly tell the other party about Night's identity, to understand how short her life was as a human compared to Night's 'god' status, and that there was no possibility of a future together...

Moreover, knowing the other party's true identity, as a human being, how could one still have the courage to harbor disrespectful thoughts towards a being who can be considered the father god of humanity?

However, it was precisely because she thought that the other party, whose lifespan was extremely short for a human, could not possibly be with Ye, that she seemed to have no need to worry about anything at all—the girl's beautiful aspirations were nothing but a mirage.

As a love-struck god, even he would feel pity and regret for such a beautiful girl whose love was unrequited. Therefore, he chose to ignore this doomed relationship. And gods do not consider weak humans as adversaries or threats.

That's right—it's the stench of love. Freya, the goddess of love, couldn't possibly be wrong about it. It permeated the girl's heart. What was originally just a seed that was gradually sprouting began to grow rapidly after she met Yoru, the real person.

Freya, completely unaware that even among humans there are a few freaks with limitless potential, ascending to godhood is only a matter of time for them, the simplest of operations; not understanding this, Freya is now completely oblivious to the fact that she is watching and letting such an awesome being overtake her without doing anything.

Chapter 80 I haven't had a chance to... tell you my name yet!

Freya believed she didn't need to care about a human who could never be her rival.

In particular, she wondered whether the other party would feel apprehensive and dare not harbor any disrespectful thoughts after learning about Ye's true identity.

however--

Sorry—humans' desires are not only free to a degree that you gods can hardly imagine, but they've also become so audacious that even the creator god can be given maternity leave. There are still a bunch of Tiamat in Mesopotamia, and they don't even spare beast forms—cough, unfilial children.

After all, from the perspective of real human history, the birth of gods is a realistic depiction of some aspects of ancient human life.

Whether the European gods cause chaos or not depends entirely on humankind. Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, the three brothers, all give their approval. With enough audacity, even the Sun King can grant... a holiday.

Not to mention—even if the humans created by the night have a greater sense of shame, and wouldn't act recklessly like the humans and gods of Zeus's world, that doesn't prevent them from having unconventional courage when facing those they love. Moreover, in this era where civilization is still in its infancy, in a world where laws and etiquette are incomplete, very few people pay attention to these issues.

On the other hand, although Ash, constrained by her status, also harbored fantasies about the King but dared not reveal them, one thing must be said: for Gao Fa Yige, this restriction did not exist. On the contrary, she possessed a unique advantage that made her happy, even ecstatic—that was—

'Although she is human, she is not a second-generation human created by the guardian deity of humanity!!'

Her origin as a creator should actually belong to the Vanir gods. Being a fake has its advantages; aside from the disparity in power, even if High Fayeg musters the courage to boldly pursue the figure of Night, it's her own freedom. It's the kind of situation that would make the neighboring Ash weep with envy—having her mother's face and memories, the added advantage of familiarity, and an identity that doesn't require restraint, relying on information from her memories to conquer the Sun King, right?

——Okay, okay, so you want to play like this?!

Completely unaware that she had been robbed by one or two others, she was the most miserable one, while she was still diligently handling national affairs.

Far away in the royal city of Anor Londo, Ash was overseeing the giants building a tall and magnificent city wall, and was still thinking about what his teacher had told him about returning from the realm of the gods to see her soon.

Thinking of this, Ash's face, which had been serious and focused on the project ahead, couldn't help but show a slightly flushed look of anticipation.

"The teacher should be back soon, right? Will it be today? Or tomorrow?" Ash murmured to himself.

Hmm—!! I must complete the task excellently, and it would be even better if I could get a word or two of praise from the teacher! That would make me happy for a whole month.

When he returns at night and sees the magnificent city wall already taking shape, he will surely be happy.

As long as he is happy, I will be happy. That is the whole meaning of my role as Queen in governing this country.

Although she was happy to guide humanity, she was not actually interested in becoming a king or anything like that. In Ash's mind, only Night was worthy of being the king and god of humanity, and she was just managing the country on behalf of others.

Meanwhile, on the other side—although it was only a few days, with Gao Fa Yige's talent and wisdom, it wouldn't be difficult for her to master the spells taught by Ye. However, she inexplicably learned to pretend to be stupid, always failing to understand the key points, in order to make such a wonderful time last a few more days.

However, Ye saw through all of this—and on the third day, he said, "You have successfully learned all the spells, and it is time for us to say goodbye."

“…!!! Teacher, no, I… I still have many things I don’t understand, please…” In his desperation, Gao Fayi called out the title he had wanted to use for a long time but dared not.

Although Freya discovered that the budding romance was gradually growing into a sapling, Gophaig herself never dared to believe that the feelings in her heart were those kinds of feelings. Gophaig's devotion to the great creator was entirely one of 'respect', 'longing', and 'reverence'!

How could she, a mere counterfeit, dare to harbor any other desires? That's right—! The intense emotions within me are undoubtedly filled with respect and love!! Her current agitation stems solely from a desire to learn more from her teacher and to spend more time with him, thus fulfilling her filial duty.

Night smiled: "You can't fool my eyes. Whether it's the runes that symbolize fire or the spells of high-speed incantations, you learn magic very quickly... You're clearly a very talented child, so why pretend to be dull? Alright—farewell. I've been here long enough."

He still had to go back to the capital to take a look. He would stay and teach the girl on a whim, which had already taken several days. Even the plan to accompany Freya to do some sightseeing was temporarily canceled. Although Freya herself didn't seem to care much, Ye still knew that doing so was a bit unfair.

It's time to move forward.

Just as Gao Fa Yige anxiously reached out to stop him, he said, "But..."

The next moment, her hand grasped at empty air. Her slender, jade-like hand made a few cute grabbing motions. When she realized that the figure in front of her was actually flower petals scattering, she realized that the person had already slipped away and that what was in front of her was not the real person at all.

Gao Fayi's expression visibly froze, then after a long, dazed look, he finally came to his senses, a look of disappointment on his face. 'Gone—is that really it?'

She didn't even have time to tell him her real name...!

She wanted Night to remember her name, even if it was just a tiny, insignificant fragment of her glorious memories, a chance encounter where Night could recall such an existence, someone who had once taught such a witch—that would be enough to satisfy High Magic Ig.

Although they had only known each other for less than three days, and even including Ash's memories, it had only been a few months, yet it felt as if they had known each other for years. After learning that Ash had truly left, Gao Fa Yige's eyes couldn't help but redden.

A soft, mournful cry, like that of an abandoned animal, escaped its lips. But by then, no one could hear it anymore.

Having come to the woods outside the town to learn magic, the vast forest felt so desolate, as if he were all alone, that it made him want to cry.

The complex expression in Gao Fa Yige's eyes was a complex emotion that even Ash, who was born earlier on the other side of this period, could not possess.

Because she was instilled with too many miscellaneous things from birth, she couldn't even easily define her own self-awareness or essence. The confused girl finally found a shoulder to lean on.

That indescribable, incomprehensible peace of mind—it just vanished again! It slipped through her fingers.

Chapter 81 The joy in my heart is not born from fulfilling the wishes of others.

He is both a teacher and a friend, and also the object of my longing and secret crush.

For some reason, these past few days, being around this creator who only existed in her memories has made her feel calmer, and she no longer thinks about those complex philosophical or existential questions.

Just like hitting rock bottom and rebounding, the emptiness and void that suddenly appeared in his heart after the night had just ended was even greater than before—making him doubt the essence of life and the meaning of his own existence.

'I'm not... Ash!'

'Compared to Ash, I am the one who is—a complete imposter, utterly unrelated to humanity's creator.'

They were complete strangers, and their memories were borrowed. Yet, after seeing each other and spending only a few days together, they still acted so 'happy' and 'joyful'.

The guilt and discomfort that made her feel physically nauseous made her want to get close to that king. Perhaps... it wasn't my wish, but Ash's wish.

So, were these incredibly real emotions originally supposed to be 'false'? Was the joy she felt from satisfying Ash's desires not her own true joy?

They rely on the happiness of others, yet they mistakenly believe that this is the meaning of their existence, and what they desire.

But in the end, what is she herself? "I don't understand, what exactly is this malfunction in my heart..." Gao Fa Yige murmured.

"But... I still—I like him, right?!" She was unwilling to accept that this feeling was just borrowed. Ah—yes, she knew very well in her heart that even if the memories were borrowed from Ash, she didn't want to deceive herself anymore about the fact that she had the same love for that king.

On this one point alone, she absolutely refused to admit that her feelings were also counterfeit! And even just to repay Ye's teachings, she would…

"Rest assured, Your Majesty! I will lead humanity to even greater heights, reaching a level that even the 'original form' could not achieve!"

With such unwavering grip on his pet bear, even to the point of almost bursting his own heart in his determination, Gofaig finally decided to make a name for himself and earn the Night's attention.

At that time—even His Majesty would cast his gaze upon her. Then she would have the courage, no longer relying on anyone else's identity, but using her own unique name, High Fayg, to request to stay by that king's side;

Having established his goal and the purpose he wanted to achieve, inspiration seemed to burst forth in his mind, and soon Gofaig had a perfect plan in mind on how to use the power of 'fire'.
