Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 455 The Solitary Master

"Only the Way and Virtue reward good and punish evil."

Chael stood up, and with a flick of his sleeve, the influence from the higher path, from the "sun," on these ascetics who were about to be martyred, vanished, and they were able to continue to uphold their faith.

Whether they intend to remain in hiding and secretly spread the faith of the ancient sun god, or clash with the Church of the Eternal Sun, or die in a sweep by the Church of the True God (which may or may not be possible), their lives afterward are none of Xia'er's concern.

Chael only does what he wants to do. If there is a virtue that can move the heavens, then the gods will naturally cast their gaze upon him.

When poor, one should cultivate one's own virtue; when successful, one should benefit all under heaven.

Not really.

Xia Er doesn't care about what the world is like, but he's not just a spectator; he can really kill a nice guy with one punch.

"Don't let my appearance fool you. Even though I've done all sorts of bad things, I still have basic morals."

"Even if it's a double standard, I can still use this set of rules to apply double standards to others and teach them to be good people."

Shael clenched his fist and looked at Adam with a smile.

Those believers who have been "redeemed" cannot see Shael, but they still kneel on the ground, praying devoutly to the god in their hearts, even though these ascetics have long since died and are now just a shadow in the ocean of collective subconsciousness, even though the god they worship is the ancient sun god.

However, Xia Er didn't care. In his eyes, no matter how dilapidated the world was, it should always spiral upwards, at least not spiral downwards, or be directly delisted, as that did not conform to his values.

"Adam, the Son of God, who had a blueprint for salvation but no compassion."

"A true creator who has the desire to save the world but lacks the rational way."

"You being split in two is an epoch-making joke."

Chael smiled and teased the statue-like middle-aged priest. The underlying tone of this world was indeed mainly tragedy. Aren't the two incomplete parts just an extension of the tragedy of the ancient sun god?

Shadowy undercurrents descended, like a curtain, isolating everything inside the church.

These devout believers in the ancient sun god, whose faith had not faded even after thousands of years, returned to the embrace of their Lord. Adam, before them, finally stood up, and a shadow appeared beneath his feet, a vivid presence, rather than a projection as before.

"You're right."

"Our previous split was originally a result of self-doubt arising from conflicts in our own ideologies."

Adam Grisha looked at Shael, thinking that Shael was probably able to understand.

Adam's reluctance to return at the end of the Third Age stemmed from his understanding that if he chose to return, the true Creator, under the influence of immense negative emotions and the intense pain of betrayal, would inevitably fight to the death against other gods at all costs.

For a Russian, weakness may be objective and unavoidable, but if he doesn't dare to throw a punch or fight back when provoked, then he deserves to die.

Adam, who is divine and absolutely rational, does not agree with this. He feels that it would make the situation on Earth worse. He does not support it, nor can he openly oppose it. Not returning is an attitude in itself. Adam himself is restraining himself in a special way.

"Seeing you like a normal person, instead of a pervert hanging naked upside down, a god with compassionate eyes and an emptiness of all worlds, makes me very happy."

Chael chuckled and patted Adam Grisha on the chest.

"That's not a good evaluation."

Adam Grisha is no longer bothered by these harmless jokes.

In the real world...

The trio of Chael, Klein, and Alger also approached the core of the burial chamber.

Once inside the underground area, there is no natural light. All around are ancient stone statues, including elves, giants, and humans with an ancient style. Apart from their somewhat eerie expressions, they are all quite good works of art, the kind that could fetch high prices at auctions.

The most valuable thing here is the murals on the walls.

Although they have become dilapidated and dimmed under the erosion of time, it is still possible to barely make out that their main body is a huge cross covered with layers of light, and a majestic figure standing in front of the cross.

This figure appeared in different locations, sometimes suppressing the shattered earth beneath its feet, sometimes facing the tsunami that had submerged the city and stirred up giant waves, and sometimes gazing up at the starry sky, meeting the eyes of one after another that were extremely evil and insane.

"This must be a scene of the ancient sun god saving the world."

Klein spoke first, unaware that Xia Er beside him could hear his thoughts.

These murals look very similar to the ones Little Sun found in the temple. It's unclear who copied whom, but all the murals seem to be leaning towards the idea of ​​an ancient sun god saving the world. In any case, they want to emphasize that they believe in the only savior in the world, the most worthy deity to worship.

"I suspect that the description of the true creator and the propaganda of Aurora Society believers also referenced the ancient belief in the sun god."

Alger also felt that these gods who claimed to be extraordinary were consistent in their characterization.

As Xia Er listened to their analysis, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, but she remained silent.

After Klein and Alger avoided the six-winged gargoyles on the way, the three of them finally arrived at the end of the passage. There was a huge stone door there. Alger went over and squatted down to do something. After a while, a pool of rather viscous liquid appeared between the cracks in the stone.

After lubrication, the door opened easily.

In the vast ocean of the collective unconscious, Shael curiously asked Adam Grisha, "Tell me the truth, what are your chances of becoming the primordial God? You know what I mean, not the unstable true Father God you portrayed in the Third Age."

"Thirty percent."

Adam Grisha paused briefly before speaking when faced with Chael's question.

"So low?"

Xia Er was somewhat surprised; Adam Grisha's current condition and circumstances were much better than in the original timeline.

Why is it only 30%? It seems like Su Huan has more than 30% as well.

"You may not understand, but no matter how much preparation you make beforehand, or how much advantage you gain at the beginning, once you're caught in a long tug-of-war, no matter how much glory the Creator bestows, you will gradually become like God. As time goes by, even your anchor will betray you."

"You will be infinitely great, surrounded by numerous angels, with the King of Angels revolving around you, yet you will always be alone, for everyone will ultimately betray you."

The second-generation creator gave a wry smile.
