Chapter 328 Above the Sequence
As Evan recalled the original text and the records about the Rose School that he had seen inside MI9, he felt more and more that the "Mother Tree of Desire" was not simple.
I had really underestimated this evil god and the corrupted Rose School in the past.
Despite being resisted by both orthodox churches and evil organizations, it has managed to survive and even gain a considerable number of followers, living a more and more comfortable life. It is truly remarkable!
After re-examining the "Mother Tree of Desire" and the Rose School, Evan suddenly realized a problem he had previously overlooked!
That is the decline of the "criminal" pathway, which is adjacent to the "criminal" pathway.
Although the decline of the "criminal" path can be seen as the seven gods signing the "Divine Covenant," ushering in the Fifth Era, the world has become basically stable, and the establishment of order has squeezed the space for evil to run rampant.
But it's also possible that there's something wrong with the entire "criminal" route!
This connects to what Rosell mentioned in his diary: the living conditions in the Abyss have become so harsh that even the demons cannot tolerate them!
Could it be that the "dark side of the universe" itself has a problem? And that's why the entire path of "evil" has been affected?
As a high-ranking member of MI9 Limited and a favorite of the Goddess of Night, Evan naturally knew many secrets that others did not, including the fact that the "Dark Side of the Universe" might be an incarnation of a top-tier demon!
As for who this top-level demon is, it's a top secret that even angels in the Church of the Night can decipher. It's not that they want to keep it a secret from Evan, but some secrets can be corrupted just by knowing them!
However, even this vague information was enough for Evan to confirm that the 0th position of the 'criminal' sequence had already been occupied!
"To influence the entire path, one must open a breach from the strongest who controls it, which means the 'Abyss' has been corrupted!"
When Evan thought of this, he was startled by the conjecture!
The thought of a Sequence 0 true god being corrupted is terrifying, let alone the fact that this evil god is the most vile in legend.
The most evil, the most corrupting of the "dark side of the universe"!
Evan felt he might have stumbled upon one of the world's greatest secrets!
If even the "dark side of the universe" can be corrupted, then who could possibly corrupt it?
This question doesn't even require much thought; Evan already has a clear conclusion in his mind!
It must be someone in a higher position who is closely connected to the criminals' pathway!
Most people only know that the true gods are the strongest, so even if they know that the "dark side of the universe" has been corrupted, they will only look at the other sequence true gods with suspicion!
Unlike Evan, he knew long ago that there was a rank above Sequence 0, represented by the "City of Calamity" on his body and the "Gray Mist" related to Klein!
This is also why the conflict between the gods on adjacent paths is irreconcilable, and they are eager to eliminate each other.
This involves the law of aggregation of extraordinary properties!
"Just as the ultimate symbol of the 'Hunter' and 'Witch' pathways is the 'City of Calamity' within me, the ultimate symbol of the 'Diviner', 'Apprentice', and 'Thief' pathways is the 'Gray Mist' within Klein!"
The thing that could most easily corrupt the 'Abyss' must be the top-level thing that represents the pathways of 'prisoners' and 'criminals', similar to the 'City of Calamity', and the one who possesses this thing is the evil god 'Mother Tree of Desire'?
Is the "Mother Tree of Desire" an existence that transcends the ranks of other true gods?
The more Evan analyzed, the more serious his expression became! The more he analyzed, the more frightened he felt!
No, it's definitely not that simple. If the "Mother Tree of Desire" has completely mastered the two pathways of "prisoners" and "criminals,"
Then the Rose School wouldn't be like it is now; it would have long since imitated the ancient sun god and launched attacks against other gods.
Moreover, the fact that the Rose School still uses the name of the "Bound God" suggests that although the Bound God has been deeply corrupted, he has not completely given up the fight, and the "Mother Tree of Desire" has not yet succeeded completely!
Since even the 'Bound God' of the Angel King was not completely corrupted, there is no reason for Sequence 0, the 'Dark Side of the Universe,' which is most adept at corrupting others, to kneel down so early.
The most likely explanation is that the "Mother Tree of Desire" is still locked in a tug-of-war with these two deities!
The closer to the top of the sequence, the greater the difference between sequences; the difference between sequence 0 and sequence 1 might be greater than the difference between sequence 0 and sequence 9.
The gap between them is still huge!
Evan believed that if the "Mother Tree of Desire" truly had complete control over the two pathways of "prisoners" and "criminals," as well as everything above them,
Once he reaches the true order, even if all the true gods in this world joined forces, they might not be able to defeat him!
This made Evan understand why the seven righteous gods, the true creator, and the evil gods like the "Primordial Witch" were all so hostile to the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
No god wants a being who can decide their fate to stand above them!
"But since the 'Mother Tree of Desire' poses such a great threat, why don't the Seven Gods and the Evil Gods join forces to eliminate it first?"
Was it a problem of mutual trust, or were they held back by something, or perhaps they weren't confident they could destroy the "Mother Tree of Desire"?
Evan recalled a question he had always had: why were the seven gods, who were mortal enemies, able to sign the Divine Covenant at the end of the Fourth Age, and why did the true gods no longer descend to earth after the start of the Fifth Age?
"Some great event must have happened at the end of the Fourth Age. This great event prevented the Seven Gods from descending to earth again and allowed the 'Mother Tree of Desire' to corrupt the 'Abyss' and the 'Bound Gods'!"
In terms of timing, the Mother Tree of Desire must have been born after that major event!
According to MI9's records, the bound gods in the early Fifth Age were still quite normal!
Evan used to think he knew the world very well, but only today did he realize that his understanding was very shallow and incomplete.
These secrets may be the key to what happens later in Lord of Mysteries!
By the way, Grisha, an avatar of the true creator, once said that he was going to the Southern Continent. Could it be that he's targeting the Rose School?
Evan suddenly remembered what Grisha had said after he killed Medici!
At that moment, Evan was only relieved to have escaped punishment from the true creator and wanted him to be as far away from him as possible. He didn't think deeply about the meaning of Grisha's words.
Looking back now, it's highly likely that Grisha wasn't just targeting the so-called Rose Cult, but more likely the "Bound God" behind the Rose Cult who had been corrupted by the "Mother Tree of Desire"!
The battle between the King of Angels is indeed a clash of equals, a true meeting of minds. It's just unknown whether Grisha intends to kill the Bound God or free him!
And what was the purpose of his initial claim about his destination? Did he want me to lend him a hand in the future?
Now, Evan no longer dares to listen to others based solely on their surface meaning, just like before.
Every word spoken by the gods is meaningful and worthy of deep thought!
Also, regarding Grisha's trip to the Southern Continent, was Ye Dang involved?
Although on the surface Adam and the true Creator are mortal enemies, an analysis of the development of the Tingen incident reveals that their relationship is extremely complex and not as simple as outsiders imagine!
Evan was terrified that he might have once again stumbled upon Adam's script, and even suspected that his ability to recall Grisha's words and analyze so many secrets was the result of Adam's guidance!
"If we look at it this way, it seems that only the true Creator and Adam have taken concrete action in the face of the great threat posed by the Mother Tree of Desire."
The seven righteous gods merely used their subordinate church forces to suppress the Rose School and prevent its further development, and they couldn't even completely eradicate it!
This makes the true Creator and Adam seem like rebels in this world. Even when facing suppression from the true God, they don't forget to target the most dangerous evil god, somewhat like the Communist Party of China, which, even when besieged, didn't forget to fight the Japanese. The seven gods are more like the transport captain who prioritizes internal strife before external resistance!
To distract himself from thinking about Adam's scheme, Evan mentally mocked the Seven Gods to divert his attention!
"If the Mother Tree of Desire is this complicated, then what about the 'Primordial Moon,' which is on par with the Mother Tree of Desire?"
In the past, Evan did not pay much attention to the existence of the Mother Tree of Desire, but now that he has realized that the Mother Tree of Desire may be an evil god above the sequence, the status of the "Primordial Moon", which is on par with the Mother Tree of Desire, is constantly rising in Evan's mind!
If the Mother Tree of Desire controls something like the 'City of Calamity,' and therefore might have a higher status than a true god, then what about the 'Primordial Moon'?
Thinking about the current state of the vampires, the "farmer" pathway adjacent to the "moon" pathway, and the unusual internal system of divinely favored members of the Church of the Earth Mother, Evan's brows, which he had just smoothed out, furrowed again!
He suddenly felt that the Church of the Earth Mother and the Kingdom of Feneport, which had the Church of the Earth Mother as its state religion, were somewhat strange!
Just to name one point, why was the Church of the Earth Mother able to tolerate the internal strife within the royal family of the Kingdom of Feneport, the Castile family?
It appears that the division of the royal family into two factions is more conducive to the Church of the Earth Mother exerting greater influence over the kingdom.
However, this inevitably led to internal strife within the Kingdom of Feneport. Despite being a kingdom, Feneport's industrialization pace was slower than that of smaller countries like Lenburg and Segal, clearly indicating that it was falling behind in the industrialization trend.
Or perhaps a split has occurred within the Church of the Earth Mother? Are the two factions, each supporting the monarchy, vying for power?
Could it be that something happened to the Earth Mother Goddess? That shouldn't be the case! However, since the Earth Mother Goddess is one of the righteous gods, any situation that arises cannot be hidden from the other righteous gods!
Evan was startled by his own guess again, but quickly dismissed it!
Compared to the situations of the "Dark Side of the Universe" and the "Bound Gods," the Earth Mother Goddess must also be in trouble, though it seems relatively minor!
This is not because the 'original moon' is ineffective; more likely, it is because he adopted a different strategy than the Mother Tree of Desire.
The mother tree of desire clearly wants to grasp both ends firmly, so much so that regardless of whether one follows the path of a "criminal" or a "prisoner,"
Both methods cause pollution, but none have been successful yet!
It is more likely that the "Primordial Moon" focused on the "Moon" pathway and temporarily spared the Earth Mother Goddess.
Judging from the results, it seems that the "original moon" strategy was more successful, but that's not necessarily true!
However, judging from the unique system of followers of the Church of the Earth Mother and the internal strife within the Fennepot royal family, the pressure on the Earth Mother has become increasingly greater!
Evan quickly cleared his mind of these distracting thoughts, because these things were still a long way off for him and not something he should be worrying about at this stage!
To truly participate in those top-level games, being an angel is just the threshold. What Evan cares about most now is how the secret he deduced will affect his and Robert's plans!
In essence, Robert and I's schemes were closer to worldly competition than anything extraordinary.
Putting aside the so-called distinction between justice and evil, and between righteous and evil gods, and dividing them by factions, what has the deepest impact on our plan is the pollution of Mother Earth by the primordial moon!
Judging from the actions of the goddess of night, as well as the movements of Adam and the true creator, both sides are pushing for the escalation of the world situation!
The goddess of night's pursuit of the god of death's legacy will inevitably provoke the god of war, and Adam's push for George III to become the "Black Emperor" will inevitably affect the royal families of various countries and disrupt the balance among the seven gods!
The troubles of the Earth Mother Goddess will also lead to an imbalance of power between the alliance between the God of War and the Earth Mother Goddess and the alliance with other gods!
If I were the God of War, and faced with the biggest opponent on the adjacent path making the first move, breaking the tacit agreement, and my ally, the Earth Mother Goddess, in trouble, I would definitely launch a divine war as soon as possible to try to settle the score in one battle. After all, time is not on the God of War's side right now!
The Earth Mother Goddess should have the same idea, because taking the title of "Crimson Lord" from the Goddess of Night could very well be beneficial in resisting the invasion of the Primordial Moon!
Evan had long suspected that the title "Crimson Lord" was related to the Goddess of the Night, and now that things had come together, it all seemed to make sense!
In that case, the development window left for Robert and me is very short. This can also be seen from George III's planning of the Backlund accounting operation. If he were not close to promotion, he would not have taken such drastic measures to cover it up. This was entirely for emergency purposes!
"Within the next year or two, George III will inevitably ascend to godhood, and a world war will inevitably break out. Time is of the essence!"
Evan felt an increasing sense of urgency, and was even somewhat relieved that Klein was preparing to act ahead of schedule.
"Taking advantage of Klein's operation, triggering the Backlund incident, and hunting Panadia, I'll set sail as soon as possible to seek any opportunity for role-playing and advancement!"
Having made up his mind, Evan no longer hesitated and flew away to the Brave Ones Bar!
