Hobert smiled at Fors and said, "Come on, it's not your first time attending the Tarot Gathering, what are you being shy about?"
Fors was a little speechless: "I'm not shy, it's just that you're occupying my bed!"
Hobert lay on the bed, crossing his legs: "It's almost three o'clock in two minutes. What if I don't make it back to the Lord's Mansion in time? Would you have the heart to let me stand during the Tarot Gathering?
"Besides, the risk of standing during the Tarot Gathering is too high. What if someone discovers me and ambushes me?"
He paused and added, "We're attending the Tarot Gathering, not doing anything else."
Fors thought that made sense, but as soon as she sat on the edge of the bed, she felt something was wrong again: "Who told you to keep hanging around? You just now..."
"Alright, alright, it's almost three o'clock, lie down quickly!" As he spoke, Hobert gently pulled Fors.
Fors glanced at the clock, and it was indeed almost three o'clock, so she reluctantly lay down.
Watching the sun outside the window being obscured by clouds for a while, and then emerging from the clouds again.
Hobert yawned: "What a great time for an afternoon nap."
Fors also yawned and stared blankly at the sky outside.
The two of them quietly watched the outside, enjoying the tranquility of the moment.
Suddenly, Hobert took Fors's hand. Just as Fors was about to pull it back, her vision was covered by gray fog. When she came back to her senses, she was already sitting on one side of the bronze long table.
Fors raised her hand, preparing to say something to Hobert, but suddenly realized that now was not the time to say anything, so she could only sigh with a helpless expression.
"Good afternoon! Mr. Fool~" "Justice" Audrey was sitting in the same direction as Fors. She only saw Hobert smile, but she didn't see Fors's hesitation.
So her greeting was not affected in any way.
After Audrey greeted everyone, the Tarot Gathering officially began.
"Hermit" Cattleya first said to "Fool" Klein at the head of the table, "Respected Mr. Fool, I still haven't received any of Emperor Roselle's diaries this week."
Klein was slightly stunned. He clearly saw "Queen Mystic" Bernadette from afar at the South Colson Harvest Festival last week. She didn't seem very busy at the time!
After thinking for a moment, first of all, Klein ruled out the possibility that the other party no longer had Roselle's diary. Combining the contents of the previous diaries, he suspected whether the diary that Bernadette was about to provide next was very important, very crucial, or extraordinarily special, which was why the "Queen Mystic" was hesitant?
That must be it! After Klein roughly had an idea in his mind, he nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry."
Then he smiled and said, "You can begin."
Then Klein immediately asked "World": "I have two items for sale, both of which are relatively low-level."
Cattleya said, "Low-level doesn't mean useless. Many low-sequence abilities can even turn the tide in Sequence 5 battles."
"World" nodded lightly and explained the effects and negative effects of the "Murloc Cufflink" and the "Green Radiance" ring.
The former was a mystical item that Klein obtained when he was an adventurer in the Berserk Sea. It allowed him to move freely underwater for 10 minutes, and illusory scales would appear on his body, making him as difficult to catch as a fish.
The latter was a mystical item obtained from the Marionette Enzo, which could treat minor illnesses and external injuries.
These two mystical items were indeed not high-level, but their abilities were good.
So Klein added some premium: "'Murloc Cufflink' 500 pounds, 'Green Radiance' 1000 pounds."
"Magician" Fors immediately said, "I want them both."
Almost at the same time, Audrey also said, "I want the 'Murloc Cufflink'."
The two looked at each other. Audrey, who was always very modest, didn't want to give in at this time: "I'll add 150 pounds!"
Fors also felt that "Justice's" attitude towards her seemed to have changed a lot since the last few gatherings.
She had even guessed whether this noble lady from Backlund was Audrey?
Regardless, Fors was unwilling to give in at this time: "I'll also add 150 pounds, 800 pounds!"
Audrey immediately said, "I'll add 200 pounds! 1000 pounds!"
Klein was a little dumbfounded. He controlled "World" and asked, "Are you serious?"
But the two ladies ignored "World". Fors said, "I'll add 300 pounds!"
Audrey: "I'll add..."
"I'll add 200 pounds!" Hobert quickly said, "1500 pounds!"
As he spoke, he winked at "World" repeatedly. Klein understood and immediately said, "Deal."
Then Klein thought to himself: What was going on just now? Why could a Sequence 9-level mystical item sell for such a high price of 1500 pounds? "Justice" and "Magician" are acting a little strange.
Because the news of Hobert and Audrey's relationship was not published in the newspaper, Klein didn't know about it.
The other members were also a little strange, wondering why the two ladies were fighting over this "Murloc Cufflink".
To avoid a new round of disputes, Hobert simply said, "I want the 'Green Radiance' ring too, 1200 pounds!"
Without needing to wink again, "World" immediately said, "Deal!"
Cattleya keenly felt: Does "Emperor" know why Miss "Justice" and Miss "Magician" are arguing? Why would he know?
"Hanged Man" Alger also realized: What are these two ladies arguing about? Could it be that they both took a fancy to these two mystical items? No way, these aren't particularly scarce mystical items. Or are they acquainted in the real world? What kind of conflict happened in the real world?
At this time, although Fors didn't look at "Justice", she had some guesses in her heart: "Justice" is Audrey! She, she's a "Spectator", so she recognized me a long time ago.
She glanced at Hobert: Does he know that "Justice" is Audrey? Am I the only one who doesn't know this?
At this time, Audrey also calmed down. She first said "Sorry", and then said meaningfully, "I really wanted to have it."
She could give in on other things. She could be a lady, she could show her magnanimity, but she was unwilling to give in on this matter.
Fors also said, "I really want to have it too."
"Moon" Emlyn on the opposite side smiled and said, "Ladies, you're using the wrong word. It's 'it', not 'him'."
But then he found that he was the only one laughing, and the "Emperor" next to him was looking at him with unfriendly eyes.
Alger crossed his arms: Could it be that these two ladies in the real world have both fallen in love with the same man?
Klein also seemed to have guessed something: This doesn't seem like a choice that Miss "Justice" would make. Or did Hobert force her to make this choice? Hehe, scumbag!
To avoid this topic from continuing, Hobert immediately said to "World": "I've prepared your reward. I didn't expect that the 'Creator' actually had something you needed."
Klein naturally knew that Hobert was talking about the "Scholar of Yore" potion formula: "Let's communicate separately."
After establishing a separate communication environment, Klein said, "Does the 'Creator' know where to obtain the 'Scholar of Yore' potion formula?"
Then he smiled and explained, "Now I'm only missing the potion formula."
The implication was that Mr. Fool had already prepared the main ingredients for him, and finding the potion formula was just another test for him.
Hobert first breathed a sigh of relief, and then, promoting the spirit of "life is hard, don't expose it", smiled helplessly: "I understand, I'm in a similar situation to you."
Then he said, "I obtained the complete 'Scholar of Yore' potion formula from the 'Creator'."
"World" was stunned, somewhat surprised: "Complete potion formula?"
"I was also quite surprised when I obtained the formula," Hobert said truthfully. "I can tell you the complete formula, but because the value of the formula is too high, you must pay something more in order for our transaction to be equal."
Klein thought that Hobert's request was very reasonable, so he manipulated "World" and said, "Okay, what do you need?"
"I need a favor from you in the future," Hobert said. "With the help of the 'Creator', I finally learned the truth about the family curse.
"It turned out to be a resurrection method left in the bloodline by Night Emperor Trunsoest! When I advance to Sequence 2, He will revive in my body!"
Klein was somewhat surprised: True Gods are indeed not that easy to kill!
He immediately asked with "World": "How can I help?"
"I don't know either," Hobert said with a wry smile. "Because I haven't thought of a solution to the problem yet."
Then he said, "The thing is, back then, Trunsoest and Queen 'Beauty Goddess' Auernia changed the spiritual bodies and physical bodies of their descendants..."
Hobert briefly explained the problems he encountered, and how his father had tried to use changing his fate to fight against the family curse, but now his fate could no longer be changed.
Finally, he said, "You also help me think of a way. If I need your help, you have to help me solve Trunsoest."
"Okay," Klein agreed, and then the eyes of "Fool" and "World" were fixed on Hobert: "Your descendants are very much like Doppelgangers who are always ready to carry the Night Emperor's consciousness!"
Hobert thought he had misheard: Klein is too careless, right? How could he say words like "Doppelganger"?
But then Hobert realized that Klein was staring at him: Damn it! This guy is observing my reaction.
He quickly showed a slight confusion: "Doppelganger? What does that mean?"
Klein smiled: "It's nothing."
From "World's" perspective: Hobert had a moment of panic and evasiveness just now.
And "Fool" discovered through observing Hobert's astral body that Hobert was lying just now.
Klein was certain that Hobert also knew what avatars were.
Then he thought: If he heard it from the "Creator", he could completely admit it openly, but he was eager to deny it, which means that he himself knew it, and didn't hear it from the "Creator".
Finally, Klein thought: So... hehe.
He said, "I will definitely help when the time comes."
Hobert twitched the corner of his mouth: This kid actually ambushed me! But where did I expose myself? He obviously believes that I am a transmigrator.
Then he realized: The time was relatively tight just now, my handling was very problematic, I shouldn't have denied it immediately. If Klein was really testing me, I have already exposed myself.
So he said, "It's good that you know."
Klein controlled "World" and nodded. He understood that this secret was the deepest level of secret for both of them. Saying it too clearly would put a psychological burden on them. It would be better to completely open up when needed.
At the same time, of course he also knew that while testing Hobert, he had also exposed himself.
But now, in his eyes, Klein is just an identity.
If necessary, he can completely create a new identity, an identity that Hobert has no way of knowing.
At worst, he won't let "World" participate in the Tarot Gathering. Hobert can't possibly connect Klein with "The Fool".
So Klein felt that it was worth taking such a risk to test Hobert, because being truly aware of Hobert's background means that in some things, others may not be trusted, but Hobert can be completely trusted. There's no need to be so restrained anymore.
Hobert sighed in his heart: I didn't expect that this Tarot Gathering would expose a layer of disguise right from the start.
He also felt that this was a good thing. At least the common identity of transmigrator is more reliable than the identity of "Fool's Believer" at a critical moment.
But it's enough to just reach this level. The identities of Klein being "Fool" and Hobert being "Creator" cannot be revealed for the time being! Otherwise, everyone will feel awkward if we participate in a Tarot Gathering.
Klein pondered for a moment and manipulated "World" to say, "Is there anything or anyone that Trunsoest is particularly afraid of?"
Hobert was stunned for a moment before realizing that his previous train of thought seemed to be a bit biased. He was always thinking about finding loopholes from fate, his own pathways, and Trunsoest's arrangements.
This is typical "Lawyer" thinking, while Klein's method is typical "Seer" thinking: If I'm not the target's opponent, then the enemy of my enemy is my friend!
"Speaking of what he's afraid of... I can't say he's afraid, but there are people who make Him wary!" Hobert smiled: "It's the little boy in the bounty I released earlier!
"But the problem is, the little boy is also very dangerous to me. If I'm not careful, I will also..."
Speaking of this, Hobert had some ideas: "I may ask you to help contain the little boy at that time. He is currently only at Sequence 4, which should not be difficult for you to deal with."
"World" said in a hoarse voice: "No problem."
Hobert straightened his back and stretched it slightly. The matter of Trunsoest has put a lot of pressure on him during this period. Today, he finally has a good idea, and his body and mind are relaxed a lot.
Then he asked Mr. Fool to help him materialize the "Scholar of Yore" potion formula.
After "World" looked through the formula, Hobert said again, "I also want to initiate a transaction with you, using the 'Tyrant' card in exchange for a pair of Hound of Fulgrim's eyes."
Klein suddenly thought of Archibald, the chief of staff he had seen at the Lord's mansion: There are also Beyonders of the "Seer" pathway among the subordinates of the "Creator"! Is he also about to advance to Sequence 3?
After a little thought, Klein immediately nodded and said, "When I acquire Beyonder materials, I will try my best to complete this transaction."
At this time, he regretted a bit that he had spoken too confidently just now, and the acquisition of Beyonder materials could no longer go through the "Creator's" path.
Hobert said, "Okay."
He thought to himself: For you, as long as you broaden your horizons, this is not a difficult task.
Just as Hobert thought the private exchange was about to end, "The World" suddenly asked again, "Do you have any information about the 'Abyss'?"
Hobert was stunned: "I do have some here."
He was a little strange, why did Klein suddenly need information about the 'Abyss'?
Then Hobert said again, "Because of some of my experiences, I even have some real-time information about the 'Abyss', but it's quite valuable and needs to be traded."
"Okay," "The World" said, "I will initiate a transaction after the private exchange ends."
A few days ago, when he was dealing with the uncontrolled demigod of the Jacob family, he encountered Amon's avatar, which made him realize that he needed to make some preparations to avoid being caught off guard when encountering Amon's avatar.
Klein remembered that Amon's avatars could enter and exit the "Forsaken Land of the Gods" through the "Abyss". Although the passage in the cemetery in the suburbs of Backlund was destroyed by the Church of Steam and Machinery, he didn't know if those avatars could still use the "Abyss" in other forms?
In addition, he had also seen many descriptions about the Abyss in Roselle's diary, and had long been very interested in the current situation of the Abyss, and had long wanted to initiate related transactions with Hobert.
Hobert smiled, Klein even wanted other members to share the debt: "Okay."
The two ended their private exchange, and before "The World" could say anything, Cattleya said to "The Emperor" first, "I want to initiate a private transaction with you."
Everyone was stunned, another private transaction?
Hobert followed suit: "Okay."
After establishing a private exchange environment again, Cattleya said, "I want to obtain detailed information about how Emperor Roselle was corrupted."
In several intelligence transactions about Emperor Roselle at the Tarot Gathering, it had been roughly mentioned that the corruption he suffered came from the Outer Deities, but there was no detailed exchange.
Before, Cattleya always felt that such intelligence would involve some information about the Outer Deities, and even if detailed information was exchanged, it could not be brought to the real world.
But a few days ago, she had just received a letter from the "Queen Mystic", asking Cattleya to trade for this information.
Hobert also guessed that this should be the information Bernadette wanted to obtain. He was a little strange, why didn't Bernadette ask in person when they met before?
After thinking for a while, Hobert understood that at that time, Bernadette represented the leader of Element Dawn. It involved dividing the spoils after the war. It was not a wise choice to do such a transaction at that time.
Hobert considered it before saying, "I mentioned before that we have some secret information about Emperor Roselle, so I am quite familiar with this matter.
"But I must remind you, if I describe it in detail, you will have to ask Miss Justice to help you with psychological cues later, so you can't bring it to the real world.
"Of course, I can also pick out some information that can be brought to the real world to trade with you. You can choose how to trade."
Cattleya hardly hesitated: "I choose the transaction that can be brought to the real world."
"No problem," Hobert said with a slight smile: "Then just use the free listening opportunity from the last Tarot Gathering, or owe another 1,000 pounds of debt?"
"Use that opportunity."
Hobert "um"ed and pondered for a while before saying, "The reason why Emperor Roselle was corrupted is because he knew some too advanced information at a too low level, without any protection.
"You should be clear about this. In the Beyonder world, some things will be corrupted just by knowing them.
"In addition, there is currently no way to completely remove the corruption suffered by Emperor Roselle."
Klein, listening behind the gray fog, couldn't help but think: Roselle's current state is very strange! He didn't resurrect like Solomon, and there is no news about whether he still has an undiscovered mausoleum, and now there is another point, the corruption on his body cannot be removed.
Cattleya couldn't help but frown: "You... I mean, can't the 'Creator' do anything about it?"
"Not currently."
"Does that mean there will be in the future?"
Hobert didn't make any promises, but just said, "We all know that the respected Mr. Fool and the great 'Creator' are gradually regaining their authority and power."
Then he said, "Another piece of information is that at some point in the future, I may seek Bernadette's assistance in finding Roselle.
"Now I must state that we have no malice towards Roselle, and please Bernadette can improve herself as soon as possible. If she is at her current strength, we will not ask her for help."
Cattleya was a little surprised by this: The "Creator" seems to be the "Black Emperor", or a true god of adjacent pathways. What does He, what does He want to do with the Great Emperor? This sounds very dangerous.
Klein was also a little strange: What does the "Creator" want to do with Roselle? But what is certain is that He is not looking for him to exchange feelings.
Hobert seemed to see Cattleya's concerns, so he continued, "If the 'Creator' wants to harm Roselle, He can just do nothing. After he recovers a certain amount of strength, Roselle will be completely dead.
"And we have always shown enough goodwill to Bernadette, which is enough to show our position."
Cattleya was stunned at first, then said seriously, "I will pass your words on."
The two people's private exchange ended, and everyone noticed that the Hermit's feeling seemed much heavier.
Audrey was very curious: What information did they exchange just now? It made the always steady Hermit so emotionally changed?
Fors thought: I wonder if Hobert and "The Hermit" know each other in the real world, have they met?
At this time, "The World" initiated a new transaction: "I want to get information about the 'Abyss'."
Cattleya came back to her senses: "I know some information about the 'Abyss'."
Alger and Emlyn, as well as "The Star" Leonard, also said that they knew some information.
Finally, Hobert said, "I know more comprehensive information, and even speculated why the 'Abyss' has become so abnormal now."
Emlyn frowned and glanced at "The Emperor", as if saying: Why didn't you say it earlier?
After the war meeting ended, Emlyn figured out that Hobert was "The Emperor"! Because Archibald and Jonathan, who were doing war planning at the time, were obviously different from "The Emperor". After thinking about it, only Hobert seemed like "The Emperor".
The other members of the Tarot Gathering all thought this was normal. All along, the information from "The Emperor" was the most complete.
"The World" then said, "I choose to trade with 'The Emperor'. Does anyone want to trade with me?"
Audrey raised her hand first, and Fors was not to be outdone. Other members, even Cattleya and others who claimed to know some information about the Abyss, also raised their hands to participate.
In the end, everyone was willing to trade with "The Emperor" again.
Hobert said simply and neatly: "800 pounds of debt per person!"
This price was also recognized by everyone. Among them, Leonard owed the most, as high as 4,600 pounds, but he was not worried about it. After all, "The Emperor" did not urge him to pay.
After confirming the price, the transaction began.
Hobert organized his language before saying, "First, let's talk about the concept of the 'Abyss'. We all know that the Abyss is the source of all depravity and malice, and the residence of demons.
"At the same time, as far as I know, this is also the name of Sequence 0 of the 'Demon' pathway, that is, the 'Criminal' pathway."
Klein behind the gray fog had long known that the Sequence 0 of "Criminal" was called "Abyss". He thought: The value of this information alone is more than 800 pounds!
Alger nodded slowly: He knew the name of another Sequence 0.
Pay attention to listening to some seemingly casual descriptions of "The Emperor"! Cattleya reminded herself again in her heart: There are often many unexpected information contained in it.
Leonard was strange: Why is "Abyss" the same name as Sequence 0 of the 'Criminal' pathway?
Hobert continued to explain according to his own ideas: "In my understanding, 'Abyss', um, I mean the place of the Abyss. If I refer to the true god of this pathway, I will call Him Farbauti."
Audrey and others quickly recalled the information about the ancient gods that they had traded before, and at the same time they realized that Farbauti was really an ancient god without much presence.
Except for mentioning it at the Tarot Gathering, there is no information about this ancient god anywhere else.
"The 'Abyss' in my understanding is the embodiment of depravity and malice, or human evil," Hobert said: "It is different from the moon and the sun. It is a real entity, but it can indeed affect the real world.
"It's like 'Death'. We understand what death is, and we also know what the specific meaning of death is, but the concept of death is still somewhat abstract.
"After all, we have only seen the process and results of 'death', but we have not seen the appearance of 'death' itself.
"And 'Death' is the embodiment of 'death', the embodiment of 'death'!"
"Similarly, 'Abyss' is also like this. We all know the process and consequences of depravity and malice, but who can explain what 'depravity' itself is?
"Because this is just a human concept, it is abstract, and it is something that is passed down from mouth to mouth among most people.
"'Abyss' is the manifestation of these abstract concepts in the real world. Yes, this is very similar to the description of the authority of the gods.
"Thinking about the name of Sequence 0 of the 'Criminal' pathway, we can easily come to such a conclusion: The place of 'Abyss' is the same thing as Sequence 0 of the 'Criminal' pathway.
"They all have a common abstract meaning. Perhaps the root of Farbauti's power, to a certain extent, comes from the 'Abyss'."
Leonard leaned back in his chair. Every time "The Emperor" explained this kind of conceptual thing, he always had a sense of returning to the classroom of the Faculty of Arts. In his impression, "Abyss" was just a title. After being explained by "The Emperor", the meaning implied behind this title was clear at a glance.
Klein sighed: Why didn't I think of it before? Hobert's perspective and thinking mode are completely a combination of a "modern person's" thinking mode and a mystical thinking mode.
Then he smiled a little embarrassedly in his heart: Hobert must have done research-related work before he transmigrated, otherwise he wouldn't like to do this kind of conceptual thinking, just like me, I haven't done too much of this kind of thinking.
Cattleya recalled the information about the Abyss that she knew, and she sighed silently: The information I have is like the difference between a child's graffiti and a world-famous painting compared to the information of "The Emperor".
Hobert continued: "I don't know whether the creatures of the universe had evil thoughts first and then there was the 'Abyss', or whether there was the 'Abyss' first and then the creatures had evil thoughts.
"But it has existed for a very, very long time, perhaps at the beginning of the formation of the universe, the 'cosmic consciousness' like divinity also had certain evil thoughts, perhaps its evil thoughts formed the original 'Abyss'.
"Here we will not do further thinking, because there is no evidence to prove these guesses.
"Next, let's talk about the 'Devil Monarch' Farbauti. We have done some transactions before. This is an ancient god. It is now unknown how He became a god.
"But what is certain is that He became a god in the early Second Epoch, mainly mastering the Beyonder characteristics of the 'Criminal' pathway, as for the other pathways He mastered, it is unknown.
"But according to my observation, He has not shown much madness, and He was quite restrained in the Second Epoch, so I guess He has fewer Beyonder characteristics of other pathways."
The members who had traded about the ancient gods before didn't have much Connection, only Leonard sighed in his heart: The history of the Second Epoch is like a common meal in the transactions of the Tarot Gathering!
Hobert suddenly paused here and said again, "Once I reviewed the history of the Second Epoch that I knew, and suddenly thought of a question.
"I don't know if it's right, it's still that sentence: for reference only."
He paused for another second or two before continuing, "I found that the ancient gods may be different from the current gods.
"According to some information I got, the first Blasphemy Slate should have appeared in the middle and late Second Epoch, so the eight ancient gods who appeared in the early Second Epoch should not have much idea about the ritual of becoming a god.
"And I refer to the relevant information of Mr. 'Door', for the gods, whether there is a ritual of becoming a god seems to make a big difference.
"In my understanding, what the ritual of becoming a god brings should be the improvement of the position."
"For example, even if one accommodates the Uniqueness and consumes the Beyonder characteristics needed to advance to a True God, they would still be an King of Angels without the sublimation of a ritual."
"Only after performing the corresponding ritual can one become a God in the true sense."
Audrey smiled slightly: Hobert is starting his blasphemous remarks again.
Leonard was still a little unaccustomed to such descriptions: Isn't this a bit too straightforward? But why doesn't anyone seem uncomfortable with it?
Klein recalled some of the information he had obtained before: No wonder Roselle's diary described Mr. Door as the King of Angels closest to God. It turns out he was only one ritual away from becoming a God.
Then he thought: Why didn't he perform that ritual? It doesn't make sense that he found the Uniqueness and three Sequence 1 characteristics but didn't know the ritual to become a True God of that pathway, right?
Hobert continued: "The Ancient Gods, in the beginning, probably didn't perform corresponding rituals either."
"This is very interesting. Their abilities are more diverse than those of the current True Gods. For example, the 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf' possesses the abilities of both the 'Sleepless' and 'Seer' pathways at the King of Angels level."
"But at the same time, the authority of His 'Sleepless' pathway abilities is half a grade lower than that of the current Evernight Goddess."
For a moment, the hall became very quiet. Everyone wasn't surprised but found the 'Emperor's' explanation and his line of thinking very interesting.
Cattleya took a deep breath: This explanation has made me completely understand the concept of the Ancient Gods. The 'Emperor' is more suitable for writing textbooks. With him, it seems that all ambiguous questions can be systematically understood, as if even mysticism is no longer mysterious.
Fors thought to herself: So, in the early Second Epoch, there were no True Gods, only gods built up from Beyonder characteristics. The madness and disorder of that era can be directly felt through Hobert's description.
Hobert continued: "The reason I want to explain this first is because, according to my observations and conjectures, Farbauti is different from other Ancient Gods in that he later became a True God of the 'Prisoner' pathway!"
"The specific time of his apotheosis is unknown. I guess it might be in the late Second Epoch or early Third Epoch."
"It is precisely because he became a True God and didn't have many Beyonder characteristics from other pathways in his body that he is an Ancient God who has never fallen until now."
Alger sighed again: This Ancient God really has no presence. It is now the Fifth Epoch, and he has passed through four Epochs, but there are very few records about him. I believe many Beyonders haven't even heard of this Ancient God's name.
Emlyn asked: "Emperor, have you seen Farbauti?"
He noticed that the 'Emperor' said 'according to his observations and conjectures.' Had he seen Farbauti, or was he observing through some appearances?
"Yes," Hobert said, "Well, I said before that in an exploration, I obtained an oil painting related to Farbauti."
"Later, by chance, I saw Farbauti through that oil painting."
"And because I completed some relatively high-level tasks, I had the opportunity to communicate with Farbauti. I learned a lot of firsthand information about the Second Epoch from Him."
"For example, a lot of information about the war in which Lilith, the ancestor of the Sanguine, fell."
Cattleya understood: So, that's where the 'Emperor' got a lot of his information about the Second Epoch? How else would the 'Emperor' know so many secrets about the Second Epoch?
Klein leaned back in his chair: This is what is called opportunity! It seems that transmigrators have a lot of opportunities.
Audrey sighed: The Ancient Gods of the Second Epoch... just listening to it, such an exchange has a sense of historical weight.
Fors recalled: Hobert seemed to have mentioned this, but he didn't seem to say that he had obtained any information from the Ancient God.
"According to Farbauti's description," Hobert continued, "He had 'Annihilation Demonic Wolf' perform several divinations for him. Perhaps those divinations helped him avoid several crises later on."
"He also said that during the Second Epoch, the 'God of Spiritual Creatures,' later the 'Chained God,' was already being influenced by the 'Mother Tree of Desire' at that time."
"However, according to Farbauti, the 'Mother Tree of Desire' had very limited influence on the real world at that time. In the 'God of Spiritual Creatures' view, He was just cooperating with a hidden existence."
"At that time, Farbauti was at least at the level of an King of Angels, so he was not affected by the 'Mother Tree of Desire,' but it cannot be ruled out that he was affected without knowing it."
Klein couldn't help but frown: The 'Mother Tree of Desire' was influencing the real world during the Second Epoch? Then, tracing back further, can we see earlier traces of Her?
Alger sighed silently: It's the 'Mother Tree of Desire' again. After obtaining some information about the Outer Deities, I realized that the essence of this world is actually more dangerous than it looks!
Fors sighed: Fortunately, I have Mr. Fool and the 'Creator's' protection, avoiding me and Hobert from directly facing some terrible dangers.
Leonard, who had not experienced some previous transactions, asked: "'Mother Tree of Desire'? Isn't this a Evil God that only appeared in the Fifth Epoch?"
"She existed very early," Hobert vaguely explained, "Perhaps She appeared before the Second Epoch."
He didn't intend to continue dwelling on this question and continued, "We all know that Farbauti has almost no presence in history. The main reason he rarely shows up may be because of the 'Mother Tree of Desire'."
"According to Farbauti himself, the 'Mother Tree of Desire' became much stronger during the Fourth Epoch and could already corrupt Him."
"By the Fifth Epoch, the battle between Farbauti and the 'Mother Tree of Desire' entered a fever pitch. When Farbauti realized that he would definitely fail, he divided himself."
"The divided part is the Dark Side of the Universe!"
Leonard was stunned upon hearing this: This is also an Evil God that only appeared in the Fifth Epoch!
