A series of thoughts surfaced, but Klein remained calm and nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Cao Ya smiled to himself.
It must be said that Klein grasped the essence of impersonating a big shot in the mysterious world.
Simply put, the prestige hasn't dropped!
The members noticed their actions and all paid attention.
“Redemption Rose? Heh, I happen to know a little about that organization.” Cao Ya chuckled.
A group of people were surprised.
At the same time, his expression was quite strange.
Mr. Cao Ya, how do you know everything?
Is this the important figure from the mysterious world?
Terrifying!
The Hermit, Cattleya, believed that once she returned to reality, she would be able to fully digest the Sequence Four Mystic's potion.
For those who follow the "Hermit" path, the more they know, the easier it is to advance.
Of course, learning about occult knowledge often comes with the risk of being fatal, corrupted, or degenerate.
Cattleya, too, suffered greatly from this before, but was fortunate to be protected by the "Fool," which alleviated her suffering considerably and allowed her to take control of the situation.
"So much knowledge, and it even involves the past, which is something beyond the sequence... The 'Hidden Sage' probably only knows this much at this level, right?!"
"It's not as deep or broad as it used to be."
Gadriya pondered that this time, not to mention the Sequence Four "Mystic", even the Sequence Three "Master of Prophecy", the Sequence Two "Sage", and even the Sequence One "Emperor of Knowledge" would probably be no problem.
The only concern is whether she can master these powers without attracting the attention of the "Hidden Sage," who will descend and take over her body.
Yes, acquiring potions and advancement rituals is also crucial.
"I might as well ask the Queen..." Cattleya thought, a hint of joy in her eyes.
Now he had a legitimate reason to meet with the Queen.
Although her thoughts were wandering, Gadriya was not too distracted.
The secrets of "Redemption Rose"—which extraordinary individual who knows its members wouldn't want to learn more?
Of the seven great gods of today, five are among them.
Even those who considered themselves well-informed after joining the Tarot Club felt their eyes were opened and they couldn't believe it; others were even more surprised.
Although the members cannot freely spread the message of "Redemption Rose".
Actually, I don't dare.
What if we anger the true god...
That's no joke!
"'Redemption Rose,' it's said to be a fight against the ancient sun god, but that's not really the case," Cao Ya laughed. "The ancient sun god was a pinnacle existence in this world, considered half a pillar of the past, almost surpassing the boundaries of a true god."
"In the ancient god era of the Second Age, the Phoenix Ancestor, the Elf King, the Imaginary Dragon, and the Giant King—these true gods all died violently at the hands of the ancient sun god, and their authority was taken away."
"Could such a person be completely unaware of the 'Rose of Salvation' right under his nose?"
"Furthermore, the existence of dark angels originated from the ancient sun god, and is a manifestation of a part of his personality. Otherwise, how could they become the 'vice-ruler of heaven' among all the true gods and angel kings?"
Cao Ya's words left everyone stunned.
"The four ancient gods all perished at the hands of the ancient sun god? He was so powerful??" Alger, Emlyn, and Leonard all stared in disbelief.
Derrick, on the other hand, raised his head slightly, looking very proud.
The creator worshipped by Silver City is this ancient sun god.
Compared to the original creator, it is certainly far inferior.
That was already incredibly terrifying.
Almost like the old days!
Fors, Hugh, Cattleya, and Audrey were also quite surprised.
At the same time, they noticed a key point.
"The Dark Angel is actually a manifestation of a part of the ancient Sun God's personality? No wonder He is the Vice-King of Heaven and the head of the eight archangels!"
Everyone suddenly realized.
What I doubted before, I now understand.
After all, while dark angels are powerful, surpassing even the King of Angels, they cannot defeat true gods...
That would be a disservice to the goddess of night, the earth goddess, and the god of the dead!
Klein was equally shocked, but he had to make the larger "Fool" appear calm, thus confirming the speculation that the ancient gods had been revived.
The smaller version of "World" has fewer concerns.
"So, the establishment of 'Redemption Rose' was tacitly approved by the ancient sun god?" the world asked, its deep voice awakening everyone.
"Why……"
The members were now experiencing new confusion.
Why would the ancient sun god allow his avatar to join forces with the goddess of night to gather his powerful followers, form a secret organization, and plot to overthrow his rule?
Judging from the final outcome of the Third Age, the "Redemption Rose" clearly did indeed kill the ancient sun god!
Because the powerful figures each had their own ulterior motives, the situation deviated from its intended course, heading in the opposite direction of what the ancient sun god had hoped for.
"The pure white angels, wind angels, and cherubim devoured the ancient sun god, ascending to sequence zero, which is now the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom."
"The eight archangels, except for the dark angels, probably all have a heart that yearns to become gods!"
"Sequence One is not the limit they crave."
...
The members were already familiar with the scene of the ancient sun god's death, and they also knew the secrets of the three great gods' final ascension process.
Looking back now, everything makes perfect sense.
The only question is, why did the ancient sun god tacitly allow the "Redemption Rose" to be established?
"For what? Of course, it's to kill the 'Ancient Sun God'!" Cao Ya said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the group was even more bewildered than before.
Did the ancient sun god tacitly allow the powerful members of "Redemption Rose" to plot his assassination?!
Mr. Cao Ya, he really wasn't joking?!
this……
Although it was disrespectful and seemed blasphemous, everyone still wanted to ask: Did the ancient sun god... lose his mind?
Klein's mind raced, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"The beginning..."
"The Fool" spoke suddenly, with a sense of desolation.
Although not elaborated upon, this one sentence is enough to enlighten everyone.
"Could it be that the primordial creator has begun to awaken within the ancient sun god? Is that why he's plotting to have his powerful subordinates kill him..."
The group suddenly understood.
"The ancient sun god was very powerful, half of the Old Ones, but..."
"Initially, he was a figure even the old days feared."
"Perhaps the ancient sun god didn't personally intervene because he was worried that the primordial being would become aware of the situation and launch an attack prematurely?"
"In the end, the ancient sun god's plan both failed and succeeded."
"The One did not rise from the dead, but He truly died."
...
Everyone speculated, offering their own opinions and deducing the truth behind the divine war of the Third Age.
Cao Ya looked around and saw a group of members who were all very excited, their voices trembling slightly.
Such secrecy is something that, in reality, people wouldn't even dare to think about, let alone discuss!
Only under the watchful eye of Mr. Fool did they dare to engage in unrestrained and heated discussions, unafraid of offending any deity.
"Well, what Klein said isn't wrong either."
"The earliest threat to the ancient sun god was indeed there, but the greatest was the crisis of God's resurrection."
"However, the first shadow still lingers on God."
Cao Ya pondered for a moment.
He glanced at Klein—his gaze was fixed on the “world,” not the “fool.”
There was no intention to expose Klein's identity.
The Source Castle is too valuable for Klein to handle. By using the identity of "The Fool," he can avoid many risks.
For Klein, the Source Castle is a hot potato until it reaches Sequence Zero.
In fact, 1368 years later, the Old Ones descended from the stars, and by then, even Sequence Zero was no longer sufficient.
In the past, level one started as an outer god and reached its peak as a pillar.
The Pillars of the Past are the strongest beings in the universe after the first one passed away!
Similarly, it is also the most likely vessel to cause the initial resurrection.
The two ancient pillars of the past—God and the Celestial Venerable—were unable to control their instinct to unite due to their excessive power, and thus a great war broke out.
Ultimately, both of these great beings perished.
In reality, there are many shady dealings involved.
After all, it's really too hard to kill the old pillars.
However, the initial threat made God and the Heavenly Venerable feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and they dared not slacken their vigilance.
Death washes away the pollution, allowing one to wait for the right opportunity to return—this might actually be a better solution.
For the two pillars at that time, as long as they were alive, it was inevitable that an initial consciousness would arise from within them and take over everything.
I have to die once!
The Chaos Sea, one of the nine primordial substances, and the ancient sun god are among God's backup plans.
The Source Castle, this Source Material, once belonged to the Celestial Venerable. The Celestial Venerable's influence was evident in the "time travel" of figures like the Goddess of the Night, Emperor Roselle, and even Klein in the present day.
"The powerful beings of the [Lord of Mysteries] universe are not dead but have many backup plans, and all have the hope of being resurrected and returning... and they all replace others..."
"How insidious and ruthless! It's filled with an eerie and despairing atmosphere!"
Cao Ya thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."
When he first transmigrated and before entering the system space, he was always on edge and terrified.
"Damn it, if you're going to die, you should die properly!"
"None of them will ever come back!"
"I'm going to block every single one of your paths to resurrection!"
Cao Ya thought angrily.
He decided to take revenge on his past self.
Incidentally, this will also resolve a major hidden danger for all living beings in this world.
After a heated discussion, Klein manipulated the "world" to speak, providing mushroom food to Silver City, where Little Sun belonged.
Those mushrooms that have undergone various modifications were all the work of Frank, the first mate of the Star Pirates.
Its effects are both miraculous and quite bizarre.
The members initially listened to the story as an anecdote, but towards the end, they all shrank back, pressed against the back of their chairs, and became unusually silent.
Cattleya remained motionless, like a statue.
She is the captain of the Star Pirates.
"I must have a serious talk with Frank when I get back," the Hermit thought to herself. She was truly afraid that one day, when something big happened and the Star Pirate Crew held a vote among its crew, a large number of mushrooms would cast their solemn votes.
"Frank is an interesting fellow." Cao Ya stroked his chin. Such an extraordinary individual with research and development capabilities should be given special attention and training.
However, after glancing at the Hermit Lady, he abandoned the idea of poaching her.
Even though they are both members of the Tarot Club and their combat power is far superior, they still want to poach people from them...
That seems a bit too unfair!
And soon, this tarot gathering came to an end.
The members looked at Cao Ya, their eyes asking questions.
At the beginning, Cao Ya said that something big was going to happen.
Even though Cao Ya recounted many important figures and events from the mysterious world during the process, those... probably had nothing to do with Cao Ya, right?
"Be prepared for the coming period; something big is about to happen in the world!"
Cao Ya opened his mouth and slowly said:
"Don't take it lightly! In this war, the true god and the king of angels are both making plans, and they will also personally intervene at certain times."
"By the way, I'm planning to take action too."
"There are some things that need to be done."
Cao Ya's eyes were deep and unfathomable.
Now he has enough power that he is not afraid of God and the Celestial Venerable being resurrected. The only one he is somewhat worried about is the original creator!
His ultimate goal is also that of the primordial being!
"Hiss~"
The members gasped.
They looked at each other in bewilderment.
The war between the Kingdom of Rune and the Empire of Fusak is so fierce that even the true gods are getting involved.
Although I anticipated that there was more to this war than meets the eye and that there must be some deeper secrets, I was still shocked and incredulous when I heard the relevant news.
As they were about to leave the gray fog, everyone was somewhat dazed.
It wasn't until the world spoke up and asked Miss Justice to use "hypnosis" to help him forget some of his memories that the group of members suddenly realized the truth and were filled with lingering fear.
Here, under the protection of Mr. Fool, there is no need to worry that the secrets you just learned will attract the attention of the gods.
But then we returned to reality...
Can we ask Mr. Fool for constant protection?
Klein said, "That's actually possible!"
“Even the slightest leak could be enough to kill us all,” Alger said, and asked Miss Justice to help him forget some of his memories so that he could only recall them when triggered.
“No problem~” Audrey laughed, not only helping Alger, Leonard, Emlyn, Derrick, Cattleya, Hugh, Fors, and “The World” Gehrman Sparrow, but also using “hypnosis” to forget some specific details of the conversation she had just had.
Looking at Cao Ya, she realized that Mr. Cao Ya had no such intention.
"Ah, that's right. Mr. Cao Ya already knew these secrets. His rank is at least a Sequence Two Earthly Angel, qualified to understand the Old Ones and the Gods. Unlike us, in reality, just thinking about it is dangerous enough!"
Audrey understood.
As for Mr. "Fool"...
She was already an ancient god, so why would she need to add unnecessary details?
With that thought in mind, Audrey relaxed, lifted her skirt slightly, said goodbye, and left the Source Castle.
Whew~~
One by one, figures disappeared from the Source Castle, accompanied by a deep red light, while a trace of spiritual essence returned to its physical form in reality.
In the end, only Cao Ya, "The Fool" Klein, and "The World" remained.
"Mr. Cao Ya, there's something I think I still need to tell you."
At that moment, the world spoke.
He had already recognized Cao Ya as "The World" Klein.
Even Leonard and Audrey knew that "the world" was Klein.
Fors, Hugh, and others were not entirely ignorant of the matter.
However, what Klein is about to say is another identity.
“Actually, ‘The Fool’ is also me,” Klein said embarrassedly.
"Oh." Cao Ya nodded.
"Aren't you surprised at all?" Klein asked, surprised.
“Once you understand the true nature of this palace, you will be just as calm about your existence as I am,” Cao Ya said with a smile.
Klein's heart skipped a beat.
He didn't actually have a very deep understanding of Yuanbao.
Before reaching Sequence Two, one cannot gain initial control of the Source Castle.
It's just some trivial applications.
The reason he revealed his identity was that his existence was no secret to many "big shots" in the mysterious world.
Including but not limited to the Goddess of Night, Adam the "Imaginary Angel", Amon the "Time Angel", Mr. Azik, Renette Tinicol the "Messenger Lady", and Hilarion Tachibana.
In Klein's view, having another Mr. Cao Ya wouldn't make much difference.
Moreover, Mr. Cao Ya was considered his mentor, and he respected him greatly, just like Mr. Azik.
I hadn't thought it through before.
“Mr. Cao Ya, Yuanbao is that…” Klein hesitated for a moment, not revealing the name of the Celestial Venerable.
He believed that Mr. Cao Ya, who was knowledgeable and well-traveled, would surely understand his meaning.
"It's from the Celestial Venerable!" Cao Ya chimed in, without hesitation or reservation, quite nonchalant.
Klein scratched his head.
Talking about the Celestial Venerable in the Source Castle, isn't that... a bit too bold?
"It's alright. Even if the Celestial Venerable is resurrected, I will deal with him." Cao Ya said with a smile, a hint of chilling killing intent in his eyes. "None of those who died should ever return!"
"Including the very beginning!"
"The world of the living should not be interfered with by the dead, who are always thinking of causing trouble."
"What beginning, what God, what Celestial Venerable? Once dead, they should not be resurrected!"
