Mystery: Time Travelers of the Fourth Era

Chapter 456 The Gaze of the Gods

The words of the second-generation creator were quite a wake-up call.

Xia Er was indeed somewhat surprised, after all, he had never been disturbed by a great consciousness for a long time. He would turn on the switch when he needed it and turn off the power when he didn't need it to save energy, unlike Adam Grisha, who had been a so-called creator for a long time.

But after a little thought, he was able to understand what Adam Grisha meant.

When you become God, even if you temporarily suppress God's consciousness, but remain in God's position, see all things from God's perspective, and do what God would do, your followers will also worship you as God. Their faith is also for God, not for Grisha, after all, the followers don't even know the true name of the deity.

And those angels and angel kings who follow you because of faith and power, in the face of an absolute difference in strength, they will also regard you as their "lord". They may be loyal, but their lord must be aloof.

If this continues, humanity will be naturally lost, divinity will be naturally conceived, and in the tug-of-war with God, one will inevitably become God.

Thinking about it that way, Klein is truly a genius.

In the story of the Haunted House, only Klein's church is still called the Church of the Fool. The vast majority of believers worship the Fool, not the Lord of Mystery. This kind of faith, which serves as an anchor, is the most valuable to Klein.

As for the Goddess of Night, it is unknown what influence she was affected by, but she changed the name of the Church of Night to the Church of Eternal Darkness, so that the faith of the believers could be more firmly locked in and the subsequent state. However, in the eyes of the world, the Goddess of Night is still the main image of the Goddess of Night. With a long enough historical foundation, it can be considered a reasonable adjustment.

As for the Calamity Lord, who has no historical foundation or cultural basis and whose very existence is sustained by external gods, and his Calamity Lord Church, they are rather abstract. If one gets too attached to them, one might really lose sight of one's own true nature.

Well, not necessarily. He has too many sewn-on spirits, so in a way, two negatives make a positive.

After a simple deduction, Xia'er discovered that when a Frankenstein's monster becomes part of the past without ever exploding or splitting, and can still find a place to slumber and continue to survive, its existence becomes reasonable, because to overturn its reasonableness, this thing should not exist at all.

"And you, how confident are you of becoming part of the Mysterious Sect?"

Seeing that Shael looked thoughtful, Adam Grisha asked a question out of curiosity.

Both sides are top-tier combat forces in the Earth Sphere, so it's normal for them to share their secrets on this kind of issue.

"The chances of becoming mysterious are now 90%."

"In the first three hundred years, the ability to maintain self-control was about 60%; in the first thousand years, it was about 50%; in the first ten thousand years, it was about 40%; and in the first one hundred thousand years, it was about 30%."

Without much hesitation, Xia Er gave his general guess.

If He were to truly ascend, the Celestial Venerable would likely be unable to turn the tide within three hundred years, and within a thousand years, the Celestial Venerable would likely be in a weak position. As for ten thousand years, it would be hard to say. At that time, restricting the Celestial Venerable would be restricting oneself. He is unsure how long he can endure self-torture, and how his views will change.

"Are you that confident?"

Even though it was expected, "Bai Zao" was still surprised. Even though Feng, Zhi, and Bai actively returned their characteristics, Bai Zao's chances of stabilizing God before the end of the world were only 50%, and this 50% would continue to decrease slowly as it gradually merged with the Chaos Sea.

"Well, the Celestial Venerable is different from God. God doesn't have any obvious weaknesses, but the Celestial Venerable is severely unbalanced. He has weaknesses, so we can target them."

Xia'er's mind flashed through a series of ways to trick the Celestial Venerable, but she quickly cleared her mind. One must be incredibly stubborn to want to become the Lord of Mysteries.

"I still hope you come in person. The Lord of Mysteries is really important to Earth."

"Bai Zao" saw through Xia Er's thoughts and gave a slight wry smile.

He truly understood Xia'er's feelings about not wanting to be a mystery. If He really had a choice, He wouldn't want to be God either, as that would be truly torturous.

"We'll see."

"Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years."

Xia'er felt that she and the Celestial Venerable were absolutely incompatible.

On the other side, Klein led the way, taking Alger and Shael into the closed room.

The burial chamber was clearly leaking at the top, making the interior damp. It was divided into two parts, left and right, each containing many dark stone coffins prepared for martyrs. The central circular area naturally featured a huge cross, and the floor was decorated with exquisite and intricate murals.

Alger was somewhat shocked by Klein, who had trained the Blood General to be as compliant as an extension of his own limb.

But Klein's gaze was drawn to the mural on the ground in the central area. As the Blood General took flight, he quickly took in the mural's contents. The mural was somewhat similar to The Last Supper, with a figure bearing a radiant cross on a long table as expected.

Even more bizarrely, despite it being just a mural, the four figures stopped eating and looked at the Blood General flying above it.

Xia Er glanced at Klein beside her. Near Klein's temples, the blood vessels were already contracting and expanding, and the hairs on his face stood up as if in an emergency.

"It is clearly stated that the three kings of angels—the pure white angel, the wind angel, and the wisdom angel—devoured the corpse of the ancient sun god and became the three true gods later on."

"The birth of the true creator is also related to the ancient sun god."

Watching Klein's continuous brainstorming, seemingly still struggling with whether to share his findings with him and Alger, Xia Er twitched his lips and simply said, "Klein isn't tired; just watching him is exhausting."

"what?"

Now it was Alger's turn to be completely bewildered. He glanced at his feet, intending to fly up and take a look, but Klein grabbed him, saying, "Don't look at it, this mural will affect your mind."

"If what you're saying is true..."

Klein looked at Shael. Although he didn't know how the other party obtained the perspective from above, if these things were true, then the ancient sun god was too tragic. Wasn't this a tacit statement that, apart from Adam and Amon, the two sons of God, all the other angel kings had betrayed Him?

"By the way, I have a terrifying feeling that the three gods are watching us from the astral plane."

Klein felt uncomfortable somewhere and looked at Xia Er as if seeking reassurance.

"illusion."

When Xia Er denied it, Klein breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, what you're looking at is a lie.
