I like you very much.
If these words were spoken by a beautiful Roman emperor, Char would probably just find it quite useful and reply with "Are you Roman too?"
But when Char heard these words from the mouth of this old monster who had lived for who knows how many years and whose current identity could not be confirmed, whether he was a man or a woman, or whether he was dead or alive, he only felt a chill.
However, on the surface, he still showed a bit of confusion and puzzlement at the right time.
After noticing the abnormality inside the Lost Island under the veil of eternal night, Char thought about it for a long time.
After all, should we go directly into the Lost Island to explore its secrets, or even come into contact with the source of the taboo?
After all, from all perspectives, the secrets hidden in the Lost Island are likely related to the Creator of the Glorious Age.
After actually entering the Lost Island and conducting many explorations, Char's guess was indeed confirmed.
Although in Esgania at the end of the Fourth and Third Epochs, Char had come into contact with many evil gods and demigods.
...
...
In the battle after returning from the Imperial Capital alone, Char killed five or six deities, and the title of "God Slayer" even began to change from gold to red.
Fortunately, Char could take off and put on that title at will, otherwise, Char estimated that once he really wore that title that was a mockery of mythical creatures, he would have no chance of surviving in the First Age, and would be hunted down by the half-crazy mythical creatures that were now wandering in the world wherever he went.
However, compared to all the evil gods and demigods that Char had encountered before, the Sun God was a completely different being.
There are also differences between gods, and the title of the Creator alone is enough to explain everything.
According to the other party, before he fell in the catastrophe, he contained all the divinity at its peak state. He was already half a step beyond the realm of gods and was about to reach a higher level of existence that no one had ever touched.
Even after experiencing that great catastrophe, the state of the sun god was undoubtedly quite abnormal. What remained on the Lost Island might be just a few remnants of the creator.
Otherwise, He would not have created the Curtain of Eternal Night that obscured the sight of other mythical creatures and hid the Lost Island from the outside world.
However, even if the situation is not right, when it comes to existence of that level, there will inevitably be risks in contacting it.
But in the end, Char still chose to enter the Lost Island.
The reason is only one aspect.
If it is really impossible to do anything, even if Char has to bear the stigma of betraying his master and kidnapping an elven woman, he would rather let his master misunderstand him and forcibly take her away, away from the chaotic vortex of the Lost Island.
The more important reason is that Char vaguely sensed the secrets in the Lost Island and its connection with certain signs of later generations.
For example, the Golden Dawn.
Another example is Hathaway's future state of being unable to return to the main material plane, and the various abnormalities that appear around her.
Since the hidden dangers and secrets in the Lost Island already exist, even if we play like a turtle and ignore them, it does not mean that these hidden dangers will no longer exist.
Perhaps as long as I don't touch them, these hidden dangers will not erupt in a short time.
But what is meant to come will eventually come.
Escaping like an ostrich will never truly solve the problem.
Char is very satisfied with his current life in the Fourth Epoch.
As the evil cult suffered heavy losses, the Oath Family and great nobles who were always looking for trouble were killed or injured, and now he finally lived the comfortable life he dreamed of.
After all, a man's lifelong pursuit is nothing more than love and career.
Needless to say, as for love, he was still a long way from his original dream of writing a "Guide to the Evaluation of Alien Customs", and considering the strength, status and possessiveness of the tigresses in his family, it was highly likely that he would never complete it.
But overall, it is definitely considered perfect.
As for his career, Char relied on his status as the Sword Wielder and was second to none in the empire.
Although there is a queen who is his immediate superior, she is also his second wife.
In front of outsiders, Char would respectfully address her as Her Majesty, but as for who was on top and who was on the bottom during sex in the bedroom at night, it was hard to say.
Apart from being a bit exhausted every night and having back pain in the morning and needing to replenish kidneys from time to time, I can basically say that I have achieved success in both love and career.
So, Char will not allow anyone to destroy his life.
Whether it is the revival of the Holy Sword and the Holy Lance, or the many hints of the Mercury Serpent, or even Hathaway's situation at the current time point.
This undoubtedly indicates that the peaceful life in the Quaternary Period will not last forever.
Since the "Land of Disaster" passed, the gods disappeared, and the rules that saints and angels no longer walk the world are likely to be broken.
The extraordinary mass descent of gods in the imperial capital was a typical example.
Therefore, rather than sit and wait for death, Char would rather take the initiative.
From this perspective——
His condition is not very good now, and he even has to stay in the remote corner of the Lost Island. This is undoubtedly the best time to contact the Sun God and explore his true strength.
Even if the situation was really wrong, facing the Sun God whose real body was still sleeping, Char still had a way to escape.
Such complicated thoughts just flashed through Xia's mind.
On the surface, Char just raised his head in confusion: "I don't quite understand what you mean, Your Majesty the Creator."
There was a hint of confusion and doubt in his words.
"If you are truly the great being who created the Glorious Age and ascended to the throne of heaven, then why do you need to merge with me?"
Char's expression revealed a bit of admiration for the Creator of the Glorious Age, and his honor that He was willing to condescend to come and talk to him.
But at the same time, there is a subtle distrust that the other party can just detect.
Questioning why the Creator and Sun God of the glorious era has now stranded on this remote Lost Island.
After experiencing the baptism of two historical echoes, Char's acting skills can be said to have reached perfection, and he has cultivated the actor's self-cultivation to the extreme.
Because he was worried that the person in front of him, who was suspected to be the remnant soul of the former Sun God, could rely on his remaining high status to activate abilities similar to mind reading or intuition.
Therefore, long before entering the Lost Island, Char used "Tsukuyomi" to set up several different self-hypnosis and shallow personalities for himself in advance.
In other words, his admiration for the Creator and his doubts about his identity were truly from the bottom of his heart. Even if the incomplete sun god in front of him really had some kind of mind-reading ability, he would not be able to detect any flaws.
And the ancient will that was suspected to be the Sun God did not seem to care about Char's attitude.
This is quite normal. After all, if anyone suddenly receives a text message like this on his mobile phone: "I am Qin Shi Huang, V me 648 to help me unblock you. After I am resurrected and rebuild the Qin Empire, I will appoint you as the Grand Marshal of the Army of the World", he or she will probably be suspicious.
That is to say, humans in the First Age had no place to download anti-fraud apps, otherwise Char would have wanted to reply, "Do you believe in me, or do you believe in me, Qin Shi Huang?"
It seemed that He really liked Char and was quite patient with him, or that He really wanted to convince Char.
The elf legend whose body was occupied by the will of the sun god just glanced at Xia and spoke again indifferently.
"Before the glorious era, there was actually another period of time."
"It was a chaotic and dark time, so crazy that even written records did not exist. It was an era when the world was transitioning from disorder to order."
"In the chaotic era when the main material plane was just opened up, the fragments of rules scattered across the western continent gave rise to many extraordinary races."
"Griffin, Kraken, Wolf... all that."
"They gradually awakened their wisdom in chaos and instinct, and discovered writing. From then on, recorded history was born..."
“Afterwards, I hunted those mythical creatures, gathered the scattered divinity and authority, ascended to the throne of heaven, and started the journey of the Glorious Age.”
His words remain indifferent.
It was as if the ancient sun god rose from obscurity, killed many ancient gods who had been entrenched in the western continent during the chaotic era, and finally ascended to the throne of heaven - the story that could be described as an epic was just a trivial matter not worth mentioning.
"In the middle of the Radiant Era, when I realized that the method of absorbing authority and divinity in a disorderly manner and winning by quantity would not only fail to allow me to make further progress, but would only lead me step by step to disorder and collapse, I made my first attempt."
"Giant, ancient dragon, elf, among these three great royal courts..."
"Giants and ancient dragons are races I chose simply to carry my own excess divinity."
"And the only reason I chose them to establish the royal court is that these two extraordinary races are strong enough, and the strong among them are strong enough to accommodate the most violent and disordered divinity."
"But the elves are different."
"Although the elves are undoubtedly much more talented than pure-blooded humans, they don't have any advantages over giants, ancient dragons, or even extraordinary races like griffins, sea monsters, and magic wolves, whether in terms of physical body, combat power, or lifespan."
"The reason why I chose them is because the elves are the race that possesses the strongest inspiration among many extraordinary races."
"Elves have a natural affinity for the spirit world. Even low-level elves can occasionally sense other people's thoughts, and high-level elves can directly rely on spiritual intuition to achieve enlightenment."
"And the strongest inspiration——"
"It also means that the elves are the best carriers of souls and spirits."
"Or should I say——"
"container."
When the indifferent voice of the Sun God sounded.
In Char's mind, the vague fog lingering around the Lost Island finally dissipated in an instant, and everything became clear.
No wonder, as one of the three royal courts of the Glorious Age, the Elf Royal Court has so many special features compared to the Giants and Ancient Dragons.
After all, according to Char's observation, the elves on the Lost Island, although it might be a bit exaggerated to say that most of them are rotten fish and shrimps -
But apart from Hathaway, among the remaining eight elders in the huge council chamber, there was not even one legend who had reached the end of the legend and was qualified to challenge the realm of demigod or the throne.
From Char's current perspective, it is indeed a bit unqualified.
Compared with the ancient dragons next door, who become legends as soon as they reach adulthood and maturity, or even Ye, who are born as mythical dragons, there is a world of difference between them.
It doesn't make sense that with such strong vitality as ancient dragons and giants, their royal courts were destroyed in the catastrophe without leaving any traces, and their civilization no longer existed, with only a few blood descendants remaining... Only the elves could survive, and even retained a complete civilization on the Lost Island. Now, it seemed that there was a complete explanation for his teacher's extraordinary spiritual intuition and the situation of the elves, who seemed to be favored by the goddess of luck.
"Because of the special nature of the elves, from the very beginning, I did not use them as a garbage dump for out-of-control divinity like I did with the ancient dragons and giants."
"I subtly used blood as the introduction to mysticism, and utilized my divinity and status to bring the entire elf species under my control..."
"Including the Elf King who rules the royal court. No matter how he changes, he is actually the half of his body that I control."
"When the first attempt of the three royal courts was confirmed to have failed and was irreversible, I began to make preparations for the future."
"The Lost Island is my second attempt."
"According to my original plan, after detonating those extra disordered divinities and authority, I can transfer my mental power and the remaining divinities to the body of the Elf King—"
"Complete, a true new life."
Said it was a new life.
In fact, it is obvious that the old monster has taken over the body, why make it sound so nice?
Char's subconscious mind complained in his heart.
However, his shallow conscious personality, which had used "Tsukuyomi" to block his memories, revealed the shock and reverence he should have at this moment, according to the preset logic prepared in advance.
It spans ancient and modern times and an entire era.
He gave up the Creator, the Sun God, the throne of heaven worshipped by all living beings and completed his rebirth.
What a great spirit and courage this is.
What a grand plan that has spanned a thousand years!
"However, even though I prepared hundreds of years in advance, I still underestimated the power of the disordered divinity."
"It's not so easy to get rid of so much complexity and divinity that is on the verge of losing control."
"Even though I switched to the Elf King's body, the loss of control caused by the process of cutting off my divinity and replacing my body still made me half crazy. I had to use sleep to suppress it."
"Before I fell asleep, I used the last of my strength to cut off a part of the Elf King's Court, which fell into the Endless Sea. Then I set up this curtain to prevent the outside world from knowing about the existence of this place."
"And when I wake up nearly a thousand years later and suppress that disordered tendency—"
"But I found that this body has already become decayed after a long period of divine rampage and slumber, and I have no choice but to replace it with a new one."
"However, after thousands of years, the blood of the elves in the Lost Isle has long been corrupted by the polluted power of the Cataclysm and has become filthy."
The words of the remnant soul of the Sun God remained calm and indifferent.
It seemed that the failure of His second attempt to change His body had not had any impact on His state of mind.
"Relying on the backup plan I left behind, I have absolute control over all those with elven blood..."
“But now, the remaining elves on the Lost Isle, even the so-called elders and legends of the Council, have such filthy bloodlines that they are not qualified to carry my divinity and spirit.”
"That is why the only choice for the new container that carries my soul is... the surviving pure-blooded gold elf."
He looked at Xia and spoke slowly.
"Originally, I was planning to wait until I was fully revived before officially changing into the container of the pure-blooded gold elf."
"However, your appearance has given me new choices."
“Humans…”
"You don't have the strong spiritual intuition of the elves, but your affinity with spirits is also enough..."
"More importantly, I see more diverse possibilities in humans."
"As you have demonstrated, this wonderful thing called magic."
"All extraordinary races are formed from the scattered fragments of rules in the Chaos Era. The more powerful the extraordinary races are, the more fragments of rules they carry in their blood."
"But you humans are the odd one out... I don't see any trace of the rules left in you."
"This certainly means that your race is inherently weak, but it also means that the restrictions you face are smaller."
"My previous failure made me realize..."
“Simply piling up divinity and authority is probably not the path to reaching a higher level.”
"And the real new path may not be 'increase', but 'reduction'. ”
"Race and bloodline, even divinity and authority, relying on these things may allow one to become a legend, or even a natural demigod."
"But when one wants to surpass the true God..."
"All these past reliances will become burdens that must be discarded."
His eyes were burning as he looked at Xia.
"What I said before about liking you was not false."
"From you, I really see the possibility of reaching higher heights."
"Of course, you might be worried that after your body is replaced by me, it will be devoured by my spiritual power and become my vassal."
"But I can promise you that I will keep your consciousness intact."
"When I am fully revived, surpass the boundaries of a true god, and ascend to a higher status, I will create a brand new and powerful body for you."
"By then, if you are willing... then you will be the new master of the throne of heaven and a great figure in the entire multiverse."
"As I promised—"
“That will be the highest scenery and glory you have never experienced before.”
Do subtraction and seek emptiness...
Got it.
So after all this talk, what you're really talking about is just your desire for my body, right?
Xia's eyes moved slightly.
Of course, he would not be fooled by the other party's words.
Not to mention the miserable state of the remnant soul of the Sun God in front of him, who couldn't even take care of himself.
According to Char's guess, it is true that the other party is most likely related to the Sun God.
However, the information He conveyed should not be the truth about the great catastrophe and the glorious era.
At least, not the whole truth.
The remnant of the Creator, the Sun God...
Is it true that this is the only remaining soul in front of me?
If so, then why is the Lost Island shrouded in a veil, and where is the authority of the scorching sun that made the Sun God famous?
As for the promises that follow.
What allowed him to ascend to the supreme throne of heaven, what scenery he had never seen before.
As for the glory of being a big shot, Char wouldn't believe it at all.
There's no way, he has seen too many tricks like making big promises.
Norton loved painting, Vortigern loved painting, and Guderian also loved painting.
These guys who claim to be shrewd and cunning like to paint a big picture for everyone they see, even the sun god in front of them who claims to be the original creator is no exception.
After all, the main material plane doesn't have things like the oath to heaven or the soul contract in the novels about cultivating immortals. If you break your promise, you break it, and no one can stop you.
Besides, even if this was not a big deal but a sincere promise, Char would not choose to accept it.
Char is very self-aware. He is a petty-minded and possessive person.
In the historical remnants of Esgania, he was willing to tear off his vest even at the risk of being pierced through the chest by the holy sword, let alone his own body.
Moreover, even without the other party's gift, Char had absolute confidence in himself.
Just give him enough time.
So, no matter it is the glory of the so-called big men, or the scenery from a high place.
Even the throne of heaven may not be beyond his reach.
His thoughts raced in his subconscious mind, but on the surface, Char revealed a conflicted look.
After a long time, he finally gave a bitter smile.
"Since the Creator has let me know so much about you and the secrets of the old era."
"Then I guess, even if I don't agree, there's no room for regret."
The elven legend whose body was occupied opened his mouth and was about to speak.
But then, his eyes turned slightly.
Then, that indifferent and lofty gaze fell on the direction of the Elf King's Court in the distance.
Although Xia had also noticed it, he was one step behind the other party and looked in that direction blankly.
All I could see was the brilliant night sky with its brilliant stars.
A brilliant golden light streaked across the sky and flew straight towards the branches of the World Tree.
