The story of the black silk female knight

This word surprised Valensa.

Could it be that I wasn't reincarnated into another world, but rather into an alien planet?

The thought flashed through Valensa's mind, but she quickly dismissed it.

It should not be.

She remembered very clearly that there was no supernatural power in her previous world, let alone a sun goddess... This Earth should be a fantasy version of Earth, or a mythological version of Earth.

"what happened?"

Tia noticed Valensa's change in mood and asked her a question out of curiosity.

"nothing."

Valensa smiled and shook her head:

"Wei also calls her planet Earth... I didn't expect planets to have the same name."

"That's actually quite normal."

Friggia explained with a slight smile:

"The name Earth is actually a combination of the words Earth and planet... Many civilizations that have just entered the universe but have not gone far like to use similar names to refer to their home planet."

Within the universe I've observed alone, there are over a hundred civilizations that have given similar names to their home planets.

"That's it..."

Valensa and Tia both nodded with expressions of 'learning something new,' and then asked curiously:

"So the legends you witnessed on Earth are the legends of Her Majesty the Sun Goddess?"

"……Yes."

Friggia sighed again, making no attempt to hide the mixture of jealousy and admiration in her eyes, and continued telling her story:

"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but in short, that catastrophe that affected the entire universe mysteriously stopped just before it reached Earth... For the next 2000 years, the star system where Earth is located was the only star system in the entire universe that still had light and warmth."

For human civilization, more than 2000 years is a considerable amount of time, but for the entire universe, it is but a fleeting moment.

At the time, I was certain that even if we could cling to life for another 2000 years, our galaxy would eventually suffer a catastrophe, and our civilization, as the last in the universe, would be destroyed, leaving only coldness and darkness.

"But then Her Majesty the Sun Goddess appeared at the last moment and saved the Earth and the entire universe?"

Valensa guessed.

"...No, you guessed the exact opposite."

Friggia shook her head:

"She became the Sun Goddess after saving the Earth and the entire universe... Before that, she was just a mortal like you... At most, she had a special cultivation method and a wife from a higher-dimensional civilization."

"Huh?" x2

Valensa and Tia were shocked again.

"The cultivation method she practiced was very interesting... At that time, I had been observing the entire universe for a long time, and it was the first time I had seen such a magical cultivation method. It probably came from her wife's higher-dimensional civilization."

Friggia was not surprised by Valensa and Tia's shock, smiled and continued:

"I can't explain the principles and methods of that cultivation technique, but I can roughly tell that, when cultivated to the end, it can transform a person into a star with self-awareness."

"To cultivate a person into a star?"

Valensa was so shocked she was almost numb, but she reacted quickly and immediately guessed what would happen next:

"You mean... when the cataclysm reached Earth, Her Majesty the Goddess used this technique to transform herself into a new star, thus saving everything?"

"...more or less, but she was greater and more loving than you can imagine."

Friggia paused for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"If the world were on the verge of destruction, and you had the ability to save it, but even in the most optimistic scenario, your success rate would be less than 10%, and the greater likelihood would be failure, death, or loss of self, would you save the world?"

"……Um."

Valensa hesitated for only a few seconds before decisively nodding:

"I will! Although I'm terrified of death, there's always a time when one can't back down... There are still people in this world for whom I'm willing to risk my life, and I'm willing to take the risk for them!"

"I can do it too!"

Tia nodded in agreement, and then intertwined her fingers with Valensa's, holding them tightly.

"Yes, I know, you are all good kids... Actually, I am the same. Back then, I was also prepared to give everything to protect the Eve civilization."

Friggia smiled first, then sighed:

"But if you had a wife from a higher dimension who said the world was beyond saving and that she could take you and everyone you care about safely away, would you still risk your life to save the world?"

"This..." x2

Valensa and Tia were speechless for a moment.

People who truly possess great righteousness and universal love are still a very small minority.

Many people are willing to sacrifice their lives to protect the world, but they don't truly love the world; rather, it's because the people they love need to live in this world.

Risking your life to save the world when everyone you care about is safe?

Honestly, Valensa felt she couldn't do it, and neither could Tia.

“None of you could do it, right? Actually, neither could I… If I could have abandoned this universe and escaped with the survivors of the Eve civilization back then, I would have done it without hesitation!”

Friggia smiled again, her expression becoming even more complicated:

"That's why the Sun Goddess is so great... Even though she's scum, despicable, lewd, and utterly shameless, she's still the greatest deity in the universe."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Goddess is indeed very great."

Valensa and Tia both sighed with genuine admiration.

Then Valensa asked curiously:

"So, Your Majesty the Goddess... what exactly did she do back then?"

"What she did... well, to be honest, I'm not quite sure about the principle behind it. Perhaps this is the difference between me, a pseudo-omniscient being, and a true creator-level being."

Friggia gave another bitter laugh:

"What I saw was her leaping into the extinguished sun, burning her life and soul completely to relight it."

Perhaps the fundamental flaws of this universe were then repaired... like a computer being restarted, all the stars that had gone out regained their light and warmth, and all things were revived.

In that instant, the concept of the Sun Goddess herself completely merged with the universe itself... She completed the universe by using herself as the energy center and became the core of the universe.

As the core of the universe, she should have lost her self and humanity.

But all the countless civilizations and trillions of intelligent life in the universe that have perished, before being completely shrouded in coldness and darkness, would instinctively yearn for and long for the sun.

The thoughts and consciousness left behind by these intelligent beings were transformed into a belief in the concept of the sun, which in turn nourished the sun goddess.

The immense and pure power of faith transcended the laws of nature, creating a miracle that allowed the Sun Goddess's life level to leap forward in a short period, instantly transforming her from a mortal cultivator into a creator-level true god… Not only did she retain her humanity and self completely, but she also became the sole master of this universe.

Chapter 95 Friggia's Long-cherished Wish

After listening to Friggia's story of the sun goddess saving the universe, Valensa and Tia discussed the progress of the ruins map survey for a few more minutes and replenished their mana before continuing to ask Friggia about her own affairs.

"My story... well, it goes back to more than 3000 years ago."

Friggia looked at Tia, who had just absorbed the primal biological energy, with great envy, and licked her lips:

"After the Sun Goddess saved the universe, all the extinguished stars were relit, light and warmth returned to the earth, and habitable planets were given life again, Eve being no exception."

Perhaps it was some kind of blessing from the Sun Goddess, because the newly emerging life evolved very quickly. Within two or three hundred years, various intelligent life forms appeared, each with its own civilization.

The same is true for humans today... but strictly speaking, you are not the original Eve people, but evolved according to the template of Earthlings.

This is true for almost all intelligent civilizations in the universe… It must be a little selfish whim of the Sun Goddess; she revived all the intelligent civilizations in the universe according to her own aesthetics and habits.”

No wonder the humans here are almost indistinguishable from those on Earth, even though it's supposed to be an alien planet; they really are all Earthlings...

Valensa inwardly grumbled, but didn't interrupt Frieda, and continued to listen.

"Because the blessings bestowed by the Sun Goddess were so obvious, and she often performed miracles to help early humans resist various natural disasters, she quickly gained the faith of the vast majority of intelligent life, and the Sun Church was formally established as civilization developed."

Friggia continued:

"My body also awakened around the same time and received the blessing of the Sun Goddess, instantly restoring about 40-50% of its peak energy."

In return, I accepted the employment of the Church of the Sun to impart knowledge to the newly enlightened human civilization.

Although the Church of the Sun had only been established for a short time, it developed rapidly because it had formally established contact with the Kingdom of God. Before long, the continent favored by God became extremely prosperous, and I didn't need to help at all.

So I stayed on this continent, selecting talented people from among humanity and sharing my knowledge with them through creating extraordinary adventures.

Some of the exceptionally gifted individuals followed the path I initially took—they aspired to achieve omniscience by learning all knowledge, they pursued the essence and truth of everything, they rejected any success whose principles were unclear and could not be replicated, they only wanted precision and efficiency, and they called themselves sages.

Another group of exceptionally gifted individuals followed the path I later took—they believed that no eternal truth existed, that all principles could be overturned or broken, and that with the will and magic, one could possess the power to invoke miracles; they called themselves witches.

"Uh……"

This time, Tia was so surprised she couldn't help but tremble; even her hands, which were constructing a map of the ruins, shook.

"Frigia, are you saying—the cultivation methods of sages and witches originated from you? Then the original sages and witches were all your students?"

"Not really."

Friggia smiled gently:

"Didn't I already say? I was just sharing my knowledge through a fortuitous encounter. Those original sages and witches didn't even know me, and they had their own insights and research... Calling myself their teacher would make me seem too arrogant."

"That's still amazing!"

Tia praised sincerely, then looked somewhat puzzled:

"If that's the case, then you, Friggia, have made great contributions to the entire human civilization. It wouldn't be wrong to call you a sage and enlightener of human magic... But why have I never seen any records about you? Even if such achievements are not written into the history of the kingdom and the nobles, the Sage's Tower should at least have a record of them!"

"Because I was sealed away after making a mistake."

Friggia gave a self-deprecating laugh:

"I have indeed made great achievements, but my mistakes have also caused great harm... Perhaps it was because the superiors at the time found it difficult to give me a fair evaluation, so they simply blocked the news about me."

The Church of the Sun definitely has information about me, and the Sage's Tower should have it too... The reason you haven't seen me is probably because your status in the Sage's Tower isn't high enough."

"Umm... okay."

Tia puffed out her cheeks:

"So... what terrible things did you do back then, Friggia, that made the benevolent Sun Goddess send five holy maidens to seal you away with a divine artifact?"

"Well... from your human moral perspective, it is indeed a heinous crime."

Frigia, a little embarrassed, tied up a lock of her hair and played with it:

"Didn't they say before that I was created by the Eve civilization with the full power of its entire race, and that I have the same respect and gratitude for the Eve civilization as parents?"

Although Her Majesty the Sun Goddess saved the entire universe, the Eve civilization still vanished… I am not content with merely passing down Eve's knowledge and culture; I also want the true Eve people to return.”

"The real Eve?"

Valensa raised an eyebrow:

"Were they very different from modern humans?"

"It's not particularly big... Actually, you can see from the differences between humans, elves, and vampires that intelligent life in this universe all have similarities."

Friggia recalled:

"Compared to your Earthling model humans, Eve people are smaller, with most Eve people being between 1.2 and 1.4 meters tall, and they also have some animalistic features."

According to the "2D" world... well, do you guys even know what "2D" is?

"know."

Valencia smiled and nodded, then pulled out a handheld console from the Cyberpunk world:

"My friend from another technological civilization gave me quite a few game consoles as gifts, and Tia and I quite enjoy playing them on our days off."

"Then I can explain it."

Friggia laughed:

"According to the anime/manga world, Eve people are legally defined as kemonomimi (animal-eared loli) and kemonomimi shota (animal-eared shota)."
