1271 Seven Lights (2/2)

The plump Orange Light Hilarion smiled and said, ”All our suffering comes from the Oldest One. All our luck comes from the Oldest One as well.

”Not only did 'He' leave behind 'His' spirit, will, branding, and corruption, but 'He' also left behind the sefirot, characteristics, and power.

”The remnants of 'His' power formed an invisible barrier outside the planet, preventing the Outer Deities from directly invading it. However, with the passage of time, 'His' consciousness and powers haven't truly been revived, and 'His' will and powers are fading. At the end of the Fourth Epoch, this reached a very serious state. The invisible barrier produced cracks, and the seven deities had no choice but to move 'Their' divine kingdoms into the astral world to mend the cracks.

It's no wonder that the true deities from the Fourth Epoch could walk the land, but ”They” rarely descended in the Fifth Epoch… Klein immediately came to a realization and asked, ”When the Oldest One's will and powers decline further, the invisible barrier will vanish and usher in the apocalypse?”

Orange Light Hilarion, who had been smiling all this while, glanced at Yellow Light Venithan. His expression immediately turned serious.

”Yes.”

When the time comes, the Mother Goddess of Depravity, the Mother Tree of Desire, and the Son of Chaos and all the other Outer Deities would invade this planet. Even if the Goddess becomes a Great Old One, ”She” wouldn't be able to withstand so many of ”Them”… The other Sequence 0 deities would be able to tie down one or two Outer Deities together, and that would be considered a miracle… It would take nine to fight one, or even more… Klein's scalp tingled as he once again experienced the meaning of despair.

No wonder it was called the apocalypse!

With his upheaval in emotions, he immediately felt the Primordial One's mental imprint strengthen, and more of it had eroded what the anchors had fixed in place.

Klein quickly calmed himself down and allowed the fragile balance to reappear again.

This is the reason why the corruption from underground will naturally dissipate as long as one doesn't approach it or resist? Klein recalled some of the mysticism knowledge he had previously grasped.

”Your Excellency, you're completely right.” Orange Light Hilarion gave an affirmative answer.

Klein immediately made other connections.

”Does that mean that the closer one is to the apocalypse, the easier it is for one to advance? This is because the Primordial One's will is fading. 'His' awakening will become difficult, to the point of not waking up again?”

Red Light, Aiur Moria thought for a moment and said, ”This is the reason why the seven deities have only waited until recently to set 'Their' sights on Above the Sequences before taking concrete action.

”However, the Oldest One's will can dissipate, but 'His' spirit will remain forever. It won't be erased unless the entire Universe returns to the singularity. Therefore, the corresponding high-level existences still have the possibility of having the Oldest One awaken in 'Them.' The higher the level, the greater the possibility. The corresponding influence and corruption will become more serious.”

The extraordinary power and the curse that can never be broken are always two sides of the same coin… Klein sighed. Forcefully suppressing a problem that wasn't at his level, he asked, ”Do you know the potion formula for Attendant of Mysteries?”

The amethyst-wielding Saint Germain replied, ”There's a corresponding mystery attached to such knowledge. It's not in the spirit world, but according to our observations, the Attendant of Mysteries ritual should be closely related to the spirit world.”

Orange Light Hilarion immediately smiled at Klein.

”Your Excellency, if you require anything, we'll provide our full support.”

This fervor makes me a little afraid, just like facing Arrodes… Klein nodded slightly and prepared to change the topic.

After some consideration, he asked solemnly, ”Do you know of 'The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings'?”

He translated the title using Elvish.

The Seven Lights immediately fell silent. ”They” looked at each other and didn't reply for a while.

After a few seconds, Orange Light Hilarion sighed.

”We still can't be sure if you're 'Him.'

”'He' was a Great Old One who had been active during the end of the previous civilization up to the mid-stages of the First Epoch. 'He' is 'the great ruler above the spirit world' that we speak of.

”The Celestial Worthy of Heaven and Earth for Blessings is 'His' title in the Western Continent. The other title is 'King of Space-Time,' 'Beacon of Destiny,' 'Embodiment of Sefirah Castle,' 'Dominator of the Spirit World,' and…”

At this point, Orange Light paused and said, ”Lord of the Mysteries.”
