Mystery: Starting with the Night Pope.

Chapter 556 The Power of the Past

What is the real "old days" like?

No one can answer this question, because the furthest those who have gone beyond the barrier and the sequence are the Creator of the Third Age and Truman in the present day.

At best, they are still "quasi-Old Ones," unable to truly wield the authority of the Old Ones for various reasons.

The ancient times in the universe were inherently highly polluted. Even Truman was only separated from the "Fallen Mother Goddess" by the initial barrier.

Now Truman has stepped out of the initial barrier that had always protected Earth, out of the "eggshell," and is facing the real, treacherous world.

"dream!"

"How dare you show your face!"

"You smell so good..."

Hmm, it seems something bad has infiltrated.

The murmurs of more than a dozen Outer Gods flooded into Truman's unsuspecting mind at the same time, like a steam engine being stuffed into the brain of an ordinary person.

This is not a good thing.

The dreamlike phosphorescence in Truman's eyes flashed and disappeared in an instant. In that instant, he seemed to see a scarlet figure and countless eyeballs, all of which reflected his image.

This is the "Fallen Mother Goddess," who is closest to Earth and is the first Outer God that Truman will have to face.

The essence of the "Fallen Mother Goddess" was torn apart, with one half remaining on the western continent of Earth. However, she still retains the symbol of the "pillar," making her the most terrifying and powerful Outer God.

hum!

The Spear of Destiny in Truman's hand trembled incessantly, instantly gaining its own life and beginning to resist Truman's control.

When Truman created the Spear of Destiny, he stole the power of the three pillars. Now that the power from the "Fallen Mother Goddess" has been activated, the Spear of Destiny is no longer stable.

"Quiet!" Dream said.

The will to live on the spear of fate instantly surrendered and became Truman's ally.

Truman's main purpose in stepping out of the barrier this time was to explore the true nature of these Outer Gods, so naturally he couldn't possibly get entangled with the "Fallen Mother Goddess" here.

So, in the next instant, Truman disappeared outside the barrier.

The universe is too vast; even the "Fallen Mother Goddess" could not pinpoint Truman's location, who held the power of "truth," in an instant.

"Come back, Dream." Truman, who was in a state of non-existence, suddenly fell out of the void.

"So powerful?!" Truman's expression changed slightly. This was the first time he had faced the "Fallen Mother Goddess" head-on, and he was shocked by that power.

That last sentence is similar to the combination of the "moon's" "goddess" authority and the "mother's" "life" authority, starting from the essence of life to interfere with Truman's state.

"Of course, the most important thing is still the symbolism of a 'pillar'..."

The "Fallen Mother Goddess," possessing the ancient status and the symbol of "pillars," could probably easily annihilate the Hades Emperor at the end of the Fourth Age.

After all, the symbol of Hades' "end" was illusory at that time.

"I'll settle accounts with you after I've stabilized the symbolism of my 'first dream'!"

Truman once again entered a state of non-existence. In his current "quasi-old" state, it would be absolutely impossible for him to touch the Mother Goddess, who symbolizes "pillar," and he would waste this opportunity.

But this time Truman was prepared, taking out a faint ball of light from the Book of Dreams.

The ball of light fluctuated and eventually formed a black thorny ring, a symbol of the "Ring of Destiny," originating from the "Angels of Destiny" on Earth!

"You're the one!" Truman saw endless lines of cause and effect in his eyes, and with a thought, he touched one of them.

His non-existence collapsed into existence, and in that instant he was standing on a light blue planet.

This is the planet occupied by the "Ring of Destiny," which is very far from Earth.

"Dream!" As expected, the "Ring of Destiny" let out a terrifying scream, expressing its intense longing for dream.

But the next moment, the "Ring of Destiny" calmed down, because all the eyes of the Outer Gods were focused on this planet, on the "Ring of Destiny".

"This is the cause and effect between you and me." Truman smiled lightly, crushed the ball of light in his hand, and then threw the Spear of Destiny out.

laugh!

The spear of fate ripped through space and pierced the blue planet.

"You haven't returned to your 'Old Days' status yet!" The whispers of the "Ring of Fate" were transmitted to Truman's ears as a message.

"So what? You're not the 'Fallen Mother Goddess'!" Truman opened the Book of Dreams.

In that instant, the power of dreams was stronger than ever before.

"The Spear of Destiny," Dream said.

This is the "Dream" Authority, the strongest authority truly formed by the fusion of the four major authorities. At the end of the Fourth Age, Truman also used this "Dream" Authority to demonstrate unimaginable power, easily killing Hades, who possessed the symbol of "the end".

Under the will of the dream, the spear of destiny seemed to flash with the light of fate, then crossed the thorns of destiny and truly landed on the body of the "Ring of Destiny".

Similar to the "Lord of Mysteries," whose body is shrouded in gray mist and only wears a cloak, the "Ring of Destiny" is also similar in form to a mass of gray mist.

This gray mist, however, permeates the River of Destiny, forming a perfect closed loop upstream, downstream, and even into the future, shaping "fate".

After being empowered by the authority of "Dream," the Spear of Destiny truly possessed the power to freeze fate, pierce the river of destiny, and strike the "Ring of Fate."

"die!"

The murmur of "the Ring of Fate" was filled with intense emotion. The symbol of "fate" fell upon Truman, causing him to see a blur of light and shadow, as if a carousel were playing out before his eyes.

Everything he experienced and planned would end up in the same way.

—That would be the worst possible outcome, either being swallowed up by a pillar or devoured by an Outer God, a veritable replica of the Last Supper.

"Get out!" Dream said.

The symbolic power of "destiny" suddenly collapsed, unable to fall on him at all, but his spear of fate truly pierced the "ring of destiny".

"Thump!" As Truman reached out to recall the Spear of Fate, he saw the black thorn ring.

This time it's a "reboot"!

In his eyes, on that river of destiny, the "Ring of Fate" folded the river that symbolized fate, connecting its beginning and end, and initiating a cosmic-level reboot!

With a thud, Truman felt as if he had been struck on the head. Centered on the blue planet, time and fate throughout the entire solar system were restarting.

This was the first time Truman had ever seen such an exaggerated resetting of fate!

"Stop!" Dream said.

The folded river of fate suddenly broke apart, returning to its previous state.

But this wasn't just Truman's power, because there were more than a dozen Outer Gods in the solar system, and their power was also resisting the reboot, working in conjunction with Truman's "dream" authority.

"Is this the true power of the past...?"
