Abyss, Garden of Eden.
In the distance is a lake and grassland, further away is a forest, and at the end of the forest there are snow-capped mountains looming.
Next to the lake lies a simple yet elegant lakeside manor.
Beside the lake, the pure white sea of flowers is swaying in the wind, bringing bursts of fragrance.
Because Xia often goes out to travel, and often the travel will last for dozens or even hundreds of years.
Therefore, since returning to the imperial capital, Char transferred the highest management authority of Eden Garden to Airola herself, and went out running around alone.
After deciding to go to the First Age with Char, Airola also gathered the Garden of Eden into the Holy Spear and brought it to the First Age.
Because of this, even at the bottom of the abyss, Char and his companions can still go to the Garden of Eden at any time to enjoy life.
In Char's words, he has been locked up in the cold and lonely abyss for five hundred years. If he doesn't enjoy himself, he might really get Yu Yu Syndrome.
...
...
Facing the pure white sea of flowers, Char leaned lazily on the recliner.
A small ferret was also curled up on his abdomen, like a furry white ball.
Click. Click.
The white wooden rocking chair made light sounds under the eaves.
The soft sunlight of late autumn shines through the treetops, and the breeze blows across the distant lake onto your body.
The golden and quiet time passed away quietly.
Just like the countless peaceful afternoons that Char and Silver had spent in the Garden of Eden.
Until a certain moment, Xia Ya slowly opened his eyes.
And on his abdomen, the tiny ferret also opened its ruby-like eyes.
Char stroked the mink and threw Silver on his stomach as a hot pack.
He once again slumped lazily in the white wooden rocking chair, rocking back and forth.
And in Char's spiritual ocean.
At this moment, the waves are surging one after another.
With a huge amount of thoughts and calculations, he helped Xia summarize and analyze the gains and losses of the plans during this period.
This was the first plan to be implemented after entering the First Age. It took Char a full five years to complete it from planning to execution and conclusion.
It can only be said that as the status of Char and the people around him has been elevated, the level of the things they come into contact with and the level of their enemies has increased, and the concept of time itself has become blurred.
Even a little planning and preparation would take several years or even decades. It is no longer realistic to expect to achieve the goal in ten days or half a month like when we were weak.
but--
all in all.
These five years were not wasted by Char.
The infiltration plan he had envisioned was completed quite successfully, and all the original goals were achieved smoothly.
Take advantage of the fact that "gods are powerful because of faith, but they are also restricted by faith itself."
Based on the belief in those inconspicuous gods, it subtly influences the believers to change their perception of gods.
In this way, he can let his will penetrate into the souls of several gods.
Then, using more sophisticated mental power operations and assisted by Silver's illusion, the transformation of their divine cores was completed.
In the process of using his mental power to erode the core of the godhead and taint the originally pure godhead with Char's own color, Char also gained a better understanding of mythical creatures, or the existence form of gods.
In the past, although Char had dealt with gods, that was during the Third and Fourth Epochs, when the Age of Gods had long since receded and humans dominated the earth.
The evil gods that Char was hostile to were either just half of their descended bodies that had been sealed for a long time, like the Ancient God of Dusk in the ancient country of Cang Ting, or they were in a half-crippled state after being damaged in battle, like the Scarlet Moon in the Remnants of Esgania's history, which could not be called a complete form at all.
Char had never been truly hostile to or fought against a god who was truly at the peak of his powers and walked the earth in his prime.
Although Char was confident in his current strength, as the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. Since the subsequent war of gods was inevitable, all he could do was to make as much preparation as possible before the war and gain a thorough grasp of all the information about the enemy.
Then, push the winning rate to the highest level.
And what other methods of gathering intelligence could be more efficient than asking a god to voluntarily let go of all defenses and resistance, reveal his or her divine core and weaknesses to Char, and proactively explain the god's composition and flaws?
It can be said that in terms of "knowing yourself and knowing your enemy", Char has achieved perfection, while most gods still know nothing about him.
Most mythical creatures only remember Char from the words of the golden elf, and they are not even sure whether he is still alive...
However, very few gods, such as Fengzao, knew something about the Age of Glory, the secret changes of the Lost Island and the Abyss, but they only guessed that Char might be related to the Lost Island and should still be lurking in the Abyss.
No one could have expected that he had already woken up.
Moreover, it has already extended its tentacles into the main material plane.
The above is only the first goal that Char has achieved.
A greater gain:
Or he perfectly inserted a few chess pieces that would completely obey and be loyal to him and would never have two minds into the camp of mythical creatures that were supposed to be completely hostile to him and his mortal enemies with no room for maneuver.
Or in other words——
「▉▉Female combatant」
You can imagine.
Several of them are completely under his control and are absolutely loyal to him, willing to sacrifice their lives for Char. Some of them even have considerable status as insiders in the Gods' camp.
How much of a role will it play when the final decisive battle breaks out in the future?
certainly--
In fact, it is simply considered from the perspective of placing one's own traitors in the camp of gods.
The gods chosen by Char are not necessarily the best choices.
The reason why he chose to erode abundance and life and transform their godhood was partly out of consideration for his possession of divinity and authority.
The power of harvest and life is more gentle, and after Char's own magical modifications, it can indeed bring order and harvest to human countries.
Compared to the Lord of Ashes, an evil god whose mind is filled with nothing but burning, burning, burning, and even if he really established his own theocracy he would only regularly hold fire sacrifices to sacrifice the people of the country, emotionally speaking, a theocracy that supports life and abundance is more acceptable to Char.
At least he won't feel guilty about aiding and abetting evil.
On the other hand——
This is simply due to Char's personal bad taste.
"Tsk, don't say that."
Char stroked the head of the furry little ferret in his arms and sighed with satisfaction.
"This feeling of being a father..."
“It’s really good.”
Char felt the little ferret in his arms suddenly tremble.
Then, the big furry white tail stood up hurriedly, trying to cover Xia's mouth.
But it was too late.
The air around him suddenly became extremely cold, as if it would freeze into ice at any moment, and the sharp gun intent explained everything.
"I heard you're going to be a father?"
The blonde girl's voice was sweet and elegant, like the sound of wind chimes at night.
But it also had a hint of chilliness, which made Xia unconsciously think of the Three Sages Snow Mountains at the end of the Ceylon snowfield, where the snow never melts.
"So--"
"Can you let me know who the child's mother is?"
…The bright candlelight illuminated the entire living room of the Garden of Eden Manor, but it could not dispel the coldness on the girl’s pretty face.
"so--"
"You've been tinkering with this for so long, just to get yourself a few beautiful girls?"
Airola inserted the silver fork in her hand into the stew on the plate and spoke in a cold and calm voice.
Puff——
It's obvious that this stew has been carefully prepared by the chef, with the heat controlled to just the right degree, making it soft, glutinous and juicy.
As soon as the silver fork was inserted, juice overflowed and the aroma of food swept over, increasing one's appetite.
Char watched as Airola cut off a small piece of stew and put it into his own mouth with extremely graceful movements. He felt himself sweating for a moment.
He subconsciously looked at the little snow ferret on his shoulder, hoping that Yin, as a Ceylon elder and his deep friendship with Xiao Ai, could help him out.
But he saw that the little ferret had already jumped off his shoulder, and was now chasing its tail in circles in the living room with an innocent look on its face, occasionally playing with its own shadow, just like a silly and cute cat.
Damn——
Normally, you are provided with delicious food and drinks, and you are never left out when it comes to the savory things. But when the time comes for the pet to sacrifice itself for the master, you just run away and act crazy and stupid here, right?
Xia muttered in his heart, looked at the stewed meat on the table that had been cut into pieces by Xiao Ai's knife and fork, and coughed lightly.
"That's just an excuse. It's not like I really have a daughter."
"I need to cultivate loyal spies in the God's camp... If that's the case, I have to implant some kind of hint in them so that they will be loyal to me from the bottom of their hearts and will not betray me."
"The father of the gods or something like that... is just a way of fooling people. Don't take it seriously."
"Is that so?"
The blonde put down the silverware in her hand.
"But, I feel like you, Char, seem to be enjoying this father-daughter role-playing."
She raised the glass on the table, lifted her light golden hair slightly, took a small sip of the papaya milk in the glass, and then looked at Char again.
"If you really want to choose an absolutely loyal traitor who can change the situation at a critical moment... then choosing gods with strong destructive power should be the best choice."
"Female gods are already a rare sight among the mythological creatures of the First Age... and those who sensed the historical trend of the rise of humanity early on and chose to abandon their original forms as a race of gods and transform themselves into goddesses that look closer to humans are even rarer."
"How come it's just a coincidence that you, Mr. Char, have only corrupted and contaminated two gods, two goddesses who are as beautiful as flowers and completely in line with human aesthetics?"
Airola glanced at Char.
"A girl from the Feathered Tribe."
"There are also demon wolves that are unruly and wild, and take a long time to tame, but once tamed, they become extremely loyal family dogs."
"Char, when you tamed them, you must have felt great satisfaction from satisfying your desire to conquer them."
"But, you should know this, Char-san."
"Although I am the daughter of you, the father of all gods, I call you Father God."
"But they are actually immortals who have lived for tens of thousands of years, right?"
After saying all this, Airola put away the glasses and tableware in an orderly manner.
Then, she stood up gently.
With a smile on her pretty face, she passed by Char.
Then, he slowly leaned over, smiled and picked up the little ferret, which was chasing its tail around on the floor with a silly look on its face and playing boxing with its shadow from time to time.
"I know you all too well, Char-san."
"You must have helpers to do this kind of thing."
"And in the field of illusion and hypnosis——"
"silver."
The blonde girl smiled and stroked Silver's soft hair.
"Without your help, Char wouldn't have been able to accomplish his evil and dark thoughts so smoothly."
Oh oh oh ~
Yin was held in Airola's arms and could only shake his big furry tail weakly and cry.
At this moment, the little snow ferret also felt like crying but had no tears. He completely experienced what Char had felt before.
Unexpectedly, one day even his most proud cute skills would lose their effectiveness, and this ferret, who tried to stay out of the matter, was caught on the spot.
Sister Xiao Ai's majestic aura is really too terrifying.
…
In the Garden of Eden, the cold and dangerous air lingered for several hours before dissipating.
Or to be more precise, Char cooked several delicious meals himself, and finally managed to coax his proud and arrogant childhood sweetheart into submission.
After doing all this, Xia felt exhausted.
It can only be said that the oppressive feeling brought to him by facing his own tigress was no easier than going out and fighting a real mythical creature for three hundred rounds.
He collapsed weakly on the soft sofa.
Suddenly.
Behind him, a pair of soft little hands gently placed on Char's temple.
The other person's movements were very careful, massaging his temples and the area between his eyebrows.
The faint scent of perfume coming from behind also made Xia know the other person's identity in an instant.
After a moment, the soft little hands moved away.
The ancient dragon girl with black hair and golden eyes sat down on the sofa next to Xia quietly but familiarly.
"Night?"
Char looked at Augustina, whose golden eyes were lowered and long black hair was hanging down beside him.
"Although the Garden of Eden has always been open to you and Sylvia and the others, you were able to completely block the perception of the Holy Spear and appear here without being noticed by Xiao Ai."
"It seems that you have made some progress again."
"At least I managed the Snow Wind City for such a long time in the First Era on your behalf..."
"It's only natural that there has been some improvement."
There was a faint smile on Augustina's pretty face.
Her long black hair was spread out on the soft sofa, and some of it fell on Char's palm, causing a slight itch.
Then, Augustina closed the pair of golden eyes that belonged only to the dragon race.
Then, through the soul covenant with Char, he sensed the ups and downs and waves deep in Char's soul.
After a long time, Augustina opened her beautiful golden eyes again and looked at Xia.
"So, you're ready?"
"Um."
Char casually played with a few strands of Augustina's long black hair between his fingers and nodded.
He looked up and smiled.
"I've been in the abyss for so long that I feel like I'm going to grow mushrooms."
"Then it's time—"
"Going outside to get some fresh air."
