Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 483 The River of Eternal Darkness

"Why you?" Truman asked, somewhat troubled. "That's a difficult question to answer."

"First of all, I can tell you that even without my existence, 'Source Castle' would still fall into your hands."

Truman thought for a moment and said, "You can think of it as a kind of destiny, a destiny arranged by the original creator."

"The destiny arranged by the original Creator..." This statement made Klein pause slightly, as it was something beyond his comprehension.

"His existence is contradictory, unstable, and often ends in division, but that doesn't mean he is dead," Truman said meaningfully.

"..." Klein was speechless; he had never thought about this question before.

"All our suffering comes from the 'beginning,' and all our good fortune also comes from the 'beginning.'"

Truman sighed slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, a cluster of information flew into Klein's mind, concerning the "original creator," the barrier, and the apocalypse.

"He left behind not only spirit, will, imprint, and contamination, but also essence, characteristics, and power..."

Klein accepted the information Truman shared with him and nodded silently.

"Dream" also originated from "the beginning," and Dream is so special...

Yes, it's special! Because Klein didn't see any record of the "Dream" pathway on the "Blasphemy Tablet"!

This may represent some kind of symbolism of "dream" in this universe.

By this point, he had calmly accepted his fate of bearing the "Source Castle," realizing that even someone as powerful as Truman could not truly control everything.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" After Klein finished deciphering the potion recipe on the "Blasphemy Slab," Truman took it in his hand again.

A brilliant light shone from his hands as his fingers traced the stone slab, searching for the deepest secrets of the "Desecrating Stone Slab".

"I heard the voice of the 'Lord of Mysteries' in my mind. He said he wanted to study your dreamlike phosphorescence." Klein recounted his conversation with the "Lord of Mysteries".

"Oh..." Truman nodded. "After you, the angel, it's quite normal for Him to awaken. Even the 'Fallen Creator' holding the 'Desecrating Tablet' was able to exist stably."

He was not surprised by this.

"So, are you prepared to deal with this?" Klein asked.

"We'll just have to deal with it as it comes," Truman replied, offering some advice on dealing with the "Lord of Mysteries": "The best way to deal with Him is to avoid His words and actions and focus only on yourself."

"In the face of this most powerful 'fraudster,' as long as you listen to His words, you have already been deceived."

"Thank you." Klein pondered for a moment, then thanked him sincerely.

"Hmm," Truman continued his research, "you'd better go back to the Church of the Night now."

Klein had a sudden inspiration, nodded silently, and then took his leave without lingering.

Only now did he realize that the Church of the Night was still engaged in a holy war with the Church of the God of War and the Church of the Earth Mother, and the fighting had reached a breaking point.

His departure at a crucial moment in the war will likely have some impact on the Church of the Night, since he was already considered to be of angelic combat power before he left.

"Leonard..." Klein murmured his old friend's name as he stepped out and arrived at St. Samuel's Church in the North District.

The number of people here is less than half of what it used to be. After the war has been going on for some time, life has become more difficult. Many people are already exhausted just trying to stay alive, so naturally they pray less.

This is already the result of the Dream Cult's forceful intervention.

"The goddess's anchor seems to be swaying..." Klein keenly sensed this, and that this might lead to some unpleasant consequences.

"Klein?!" A surprised voice came as Leonard saw Klein.

Leonard is now a "Night Watchman," his emerald eyes have become much deeper. He rose through the ranks the fastest during the war, and he has now replaced Klein as a high-ranking "Night Watchman."

"You succeeded?" Leonard walked up to Klein and looked at his colleague who had been missing for some time.

"Hmm." Before Klein disappeared, he had already revealed some things to Leonard.

"You've become an angel..." Leonard still found it hard to accept; it all happened too fast.

"This is not glory and power, but pain, curse and responsibility," Klein said, expressing his realization after a long period of time.

"..." Leonard fell silent, feeling the same way as he, who had become a demigod in the war.

"Let's go back." Klein and Leonard walked into the church together.

"Recently, the entire Backlund has been placed under strict control." Leonard shared some of the latest news with Klein, who was now in charge of all the Extraordinary affairs in Backlund.

"That's good, at least there won't be a large-scale riot." Klein nodded slightly.

"Oh, right, Emlyn?" Klein suddenly remembered Mr. "Moon".

"He has been redeemed by the vampires. The vampires actually value him quite a bit," Leonard said.

Klein nodded slightly. He and Leonard arrived at the Black Night Holy Symbol and instinctively stopped, drawing a full moon on their chests.

Hmm? Suddenly, Klein sensed something and looked towards a direction deep within the church, towards Charness Gate. "I'll go to Charness Gate first, and then I'll come back to find you."

Klein said something to Leonard and walked toward the Charis Gate, where he soon met the "Hidden Angel".

"Congratulations on becoming an angel." The voice of the "Hidden Angel" remained indifferent and detached.

"Long time no see, madam." Klein removed his silk hat and bowed slightly.

"Do you need followers? I can inscribe your angelic title in the Book of Night Revelation," the "Hidden Angel" said, looking at Klein.

"..." Klein's lips twitched. Was it really that common to freeload off believers?

"Is there anything you need me to do?"

Klein knew that the Church of the Night probably had some missions that were suitable for him, but there weren't many things that could attract him anymore, so the "Hidden Angel" directly put the believers on the table.

This mission may still be somewhat dangerous.

"The underworld, the waters of the 'River of Eternal Darkness'." Klein's pupils contracted slightly, completely surprised that the knowledge he had just acquired was already proving useful.

The "River of Eternal Darkness" is the source material corresponding to the "Night" pathway!

Now, it seems that only I can get close... Klein recalled Adam's actions in pushing him into the depths of the Giants' Court. With the "Source Castle," he could approach the source matter without being contaminated.

The other one is still Truman, but it's obvious that he's easier to win over.
