Underground temple.
In response to Rosen's question, Filiquis answered very straightforwardly.
"This is one of my biggest secrets, do you think I'd tell you?"
Rosen was mentally prepared for this: "Great One, please listen to some of my stories first, and after you have finished listening, you can decide whether to tell me the secret."
Filiqis was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Tell me about it."
Rosen took the empire's intelligent auxiliary puppets as the main line, talking about Alice from the Dawn Empire to Juliet from the Eternal Empire, and finally introduced what he knew so far.
He spoke in one breath for more than an hour.
At first, Filiquis just listened indifferently, but when she encountered something she didn't understand, she would ask a few questions.
But as she listened, her expression gradually became solemn.
After Rosen finished speaking, she asked, "You mean, there is a conspirator hidden deep in the Eternal Empire?"
Rosen nodded: "That's right."
"I don't know who this conspirator is, but he is very clean and has very sophisticated methods. He also possesses quite amazing magical powers. He may not even be a mortal."
The Goddess of Annihilation became completely serious: "Not a mortal? That's impossible!"
"I have carefully confirmed that there is no true God in this world!"
Rosen immediately said: "To be precise, there is no true god like you who can ignite the divine fire, but this may not be the only way to obtain divine power, right?"
The Goddess of Annihilation was shocked: "Why do you say that?"
"Because both the Dawn Empire and the Eternal Empire have obtained true artifacts through various means."
"It's possible that there isn't a magical artifact that has the ability to allow mortals to gain divine power, right?"
In fact, the Mantra Gem has similar abilities if used properly.
The Goddess of Annihilation nodded slowly: "What you said makes some sense."
Seeing that she agreed with his guess, Rosen continued, "The mastermind behind this is so powerful that I have no choice but to come to you to look for relevant clues."
"The reason why I think this matter concerns our fate is that, judging from the current situation, you and I are both on the chessboard of this conspirator, and we have been used by him to some extent."
A rare look of contemplation appeared on Filiquis's face, which rarely showed any expression.
She paced back and forth for a while, and then she spoke.
"The reason I discovered your Solar Astral Realm was because I was summoned by an Eternal Mage."
"This Eternal Mage is called Odres, and he possesses 22 levels of magical power."
"He used some very clumsy means to dive into the deepest part of the ocean of time and space, and then carried out an indiscriminate summoning."
"During the summons, he announced a lot of basic information about your Solar Star Realm."
"And I happened to be exploring the ocean of time and space at that time, and I happened to discover Odile's call."
"I immediately realized the opportunity and intercepted all summoning signals issued by Odileus. I also traced Odileus' soul back to your Solar Astral Realm."
Having said this, Filiqisi turned to look at Rosen:
"To be honest, I still don't fully understand why Odileus would conduct such an indiscriminate summoning."
Rosen spread his hands and guessed casually: "Maybe it's out of pure curiosity, or it's a self-touching so-called noble sentiment. Generally, only people who have nothing to do will do this."
Simply put, I'm free.
The Goddess of Annihilation nodded: "The Eternal Empire was indeed extremely wealthy before the war broke out."
"Anyway, after discovering your world, I tried every possible means to open a space-time channel in the mortal world I controlled, and after conducting a series of teleportation experiments, I successfully teleported my avatar to your world."
Apparently, her so-called 'series of experiments' were to transfer all sorts of immortal lives, including barbarians, blood drinkers, joy seekers, etc., into the nightmare abyss.
Rosen then asked, "Then, you controlled Antowanji and manipulated him to start the Planar War?"
"You're half right."
The Goddess of Annihilation shook her head repeatedly: "I did develop Anto Wange into my believer, but the control of the true god over his believers is not infinite, especially since there is an extremely solid world barrier between Anto Wange and me."
"He still retains a great deal of free will."
"Waging war was his personal wish. Of course, I also thought that appropriate chaos would be more conducive to my entry into this world, so I did not stop him."
"But I didn't expect him to make such a big move that he almost completely destroyed this so-called Eternal Empire."
"To be honest, when I learned that billions of people died in the war, I was heartbroken for a while. After all, these were potential believers."
Rosen, who is also a true God, believes these words.
After all, appropriate wars are conducive to the development of believers, but destructive wars are harmful and have no benefits.
He asked softly, "So, have you asked Antoine why he did this?"
"Of course I did."
"His answer was that he had intended to use the war to recruit followers for me, but the situation was beyond his control."
"Do you think he lied?"
"lie?"
Rosen shook his head: "That may not be the case."
As he spoke, he took out the Scepter of Light and said, "The Emperor of the Dawn Empire only has 20 rings of mana, but he can rely on the artifact to resist the pressure of the True God."
"And Antowanji is an eternal strongman of the 23rd ring. He can already vaguely sense the existence of the source essence."
"The Eternal Empire has even been able to create powerful instruments that can enter the Solar Ring. They have obtained more genuine instruments than the Dawn Empire. They must have done a lot of research on the Solar Ring and are not completely ignorant."
The Annihilation Goddess's eyes narrowed slightly: "Are you saying that Antoine is hiding something from me?"
"I'm not sure, but an empire that can enter the deepest part of the ocean of time and space should have some unique abilities."
"And a person who almost destroyed the empire is definitely not an ordinary mortal."
"Now, there is more evidence showing that there are ambitious people in the Eternal Empire who possess the power of the true god. It is even more difficult to ensure Antowanji's reliability."
The eyes of the Goddess of Annihilation flickered, and her face showed a complex expression of anger and confusion. It was obvious that she was completely convinced by Rosen's words.
After a long time, she whispered, "It seems that I have to go back to the nightmare abyss."
Rosen immediately said: "If possible, I hope to go with you."
"Go together? Aren't you afraid that I will seek revenge on you?"
In the Nightmare Abyss, the power she controls is far stronger than that in the Abyss of Pain, and she can easily kill Rosen.
Rosen immediately said: "Great One, whether you admit it or not, my current combat power is much stronger than yours. At the same time, my understanding of this world's high-energy empire is far greater than yours."
"If there really is a terrifying existence hidden in the deepest part of the abyss, you and your gods may not be able to deal with it calmly."
"This matter is not only important to you, but also to me. On this matter alone, we have completely consistent positions."
The Goddess of Annihilation fell into deep thought.
After more than ten seconds, she nodded: "You convinced me, but you have to remember that this is only a temporary cooperation. You and I are still enemies. Once this matter is clear, I will still find ways to seek revenge on you!"
Rosen chuckled and said, "It's no use just talking. How about you swear an oath of divinity?"
"Can."
As expected, the Goddess of Annihilation swore a divine oath, promising that during the exploration of the truth about the Eternal Empire, she and her servants would not harm Rosen in the Nightmare Abyss.
Then he asked, "Do you need to do anything to prepare before you leave?"
Rosen certainly had something to prepare. He pointed to the sky and said, "I also plan to go to Moon City for investigation."
The Goddess of Annihilation frowned slightly: "Be careful not to die in Moon City. Even if it is a true god, if the head is crushed, the soul will also shatter."
She had originally been planning to go to Moon City, but after hearing what Rosen said, she felt that there might be terrible traps in Moon City, so she decided to postpone her plan.
Rosen smiled and said, "Great One, are you concerned about me?"
"No, I just have a feeling that your trip to Moon City may cause huge waves in time and space, which may strongly affect my fate."
After saying this, the Goddess of Annihilation stretched out her right hand and clenched it, and a spell book appeared in her hand.
"The principle of the universal solar artifact 'Colorful Prism' is to greatly reduce the strength of the opponent's attack, and it is especially effective against high-energy attacks. I hope it is useful to you."
She threw the spell book to Rosen and immediately returned to her icy expression.
"Now get out of here!"
Rosen laughed and said, "As you wish, I'll get out of here right away."
Before he finished speaking, the person disappeared.
After a while, Garit, the God of Shadows, and Taranaya, the Joyer, walked in.
Garrett snorted: "Lord God, this Sun God of War is too arrogant, I will assassinate him now!"
Although the other party had just given him a good toy, this thing was not enough to make him change his position.
Filiqisi shook her head: "Some unexpected changes have occurred, so this matter will be put on hold for the time being."
Garrett was startled: "Lord God, this person is growing too fast. If we don't deal with him quickly, he will probably become a great enemy soon."
The Joyful One Taranaya also said: "Lord God, this matter really cannot be delayed any longer. We need to make a decision soon."
Filiqisi shook her head firmly again: "Don't talk about this anymore. I have made up my mind."
The sudden change in attitude made Garrett and Taranaya look at each other in bewilderment.
Seeing this, Phyllis said nothing, but sighed in her heart.
"I would like to kill him, but you can't do it."
Although she hated Rosen very much, she had to admit that this guy was indeed very capable, and his help was indispensable if she wanted to find out the truth about the Eternal Empire.
My thoughts turned to the incident Rosen mentioned, and I couldn't help but feel deeply confused.
Her incarnation had been in the abyss for quite some time, and had indeed sensed a lot of things that were strange.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so easily convinced by Rosen.
"What is the situation with this Eternal Empire?"
