They all call me an Outer God.

After hearing these words, Riya's mind suddenly became clear, as if everything that had happened before was now connected and made sense.

It turns out that memes are not pollution, but a gift from the Creator to mankind. It's a pity that ancient humans cut off this gift.

He asked cautiously, "Am I lucky enough to learn the name of the Creator?"

"Of course, it... He is now in an extremely deep sleep, and Naya's soul is playing music for him to prevent him from waking up. It's just an onomatopoeic name, so it naturally doesn't mean anything."

"and……"

Shabu chuckled and said, "I guess you didn't like reading mythological stories back then. When he recreated us, he completely shaped us according to the system of many mythological books. We call these myths... Cthulhu Mythos."

"And the original creator, who created the three pillars of existence, called himself Blind and Foolish."

"Azathoth, the Lord of Blindness and Foolishness."

After hearing these words, Riya was stunned.

He thought this was too far-fetched, but seeing how serious Shab's eyes were, he remembered that he didn't seem to have summoned her to ask these questions.

He wanted to ask himself who he was. Although he was also planned to be a human being in the old days, his soul was taken away by Nyarlathotep before he even experienced the catastrophe. Moreover, if what the lady in front of him said was true, didn't it mean that he could never return to his former home?

For a moment, Riya's heart did not fluctuate much. Perhaps he had long been accustomed to watching his hometown destroyed in his dreams. It must be said that habit is a very terrible and sad thing.

Fortunately, Shiwa is still here.

Riya thought of Shival and his attitude softened. Shab in front of him glanced at him and continued to stir the coffee in the ceramic cup.

"Where were we talking about... By the way, since there are people who agree with the theory that Azathoth is asleep, there will naturally be those who oppose it. They believe that times are changing and the future should belong to new humans, so these people will try every means to wake up Azathoth."

“Among this group of people, there are even more extreme ones who believe that Azathoth is in a weak state and that they can take this opportunity to devour the Supreme God and replace Him.

What they can think of, we can think of too. That godhead is the best example."

Liya was stunned: "So that godhead is..."

"You didn't expect it, did you? That godhead is the origin of Azathoth. We stole it while He was asleep and brought it to Earth... No, it should be on the planet called Blue Star now."

"Choosing a master for the godhead will suppress the resurrection of Azathoth. As the only godhead awakened in the world, its power is self-evident even if it is not aware of it."

"It's not easy to find a qualified person, and we don't want existing humans to become the masters of this. After much deliberation, Naya chose you."

"You are a human from the old days, you should understand our feelings."

When he said this, Shab Nicholas stood up from his seat, walked over to Leah and patted him on the shoulder.

"Our civilization cannot stop here and cannot be replaced by new civilizations that are nurtured."

"Since you have been able to stand out among so many souls and survive, you are the hope of the old civilization. We sincerely hope that you can break through the threshold of Meme Zero and become the new Him. By then, you will represent all mankind and revive the old glory."

"So, do you have any questions about who you are?"

Liya was silent for a long time, and raised her coffee cup: "...I roughly know it."

According to the arrangement of this group of old humans, he will definitely become a god in the future, and to become Meme Zero he needs to interpret fifteen memes. Now think about it, he needs to interpret nine, and then another six.

As luck would have it, the main memes of 06 were exactly the memes he didn't have. If he followed this line of thought, he and Lilith had overlapped in identity. If he had performed nine memes and added the memes of 06's angels, that would be fourteen memes. The only meme that was separated was "idiot".

Idiot...blind and foolish...Azathoth, the supreme god who guards Naia's soul.

All of these seem to be connected to each other like a spider web, each with its own thread, yet inseparable.

It turned out to be the case.

I see--

Riya closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead, trying hard to digest all this confusing information. Judging from various clues, those members of 06 were also him, but he was in the future.

In the future, he created many clones and stuffed them into various timelines to interpret the story. No wonder Lilith told him that he must never deny that he was a real angel.

If the clone's interpretation was destroyed by the original from earlier time, wouldn't everything be over?

After figuring this out, Ria relaxed as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and drank the bitter coffee in the cup without adding any sugar or milk.

"Thank you for telling me this, Miss Shab."

"My philosophy is different from those Riddlers. I have always believed that it is no good to hide these things from you."

Shab Nicholas took out her cell phone from her pocket, took a few photos of the neat coffee shop, and even took a few selfies with Riya.

"It's great that in our time, technology is advanced, the environment is clean, and there is no pollution..."

"Do you really think that the current human civilization is right? Take a good look at it. The pollution is everywhere, washing away all the hatred. They are just replicating the products of our past civilization. As soon as we, the maintainers, fell into a deep sleep, the world immediately became like this.

What’s more, the current technology here is still very different from what we had back then.”

"I miss those days so much, going to school, arguing with friends and family, lying on the bed playing with my phone, ordering takeout or making instant noodles when I was hungry. I loved trying all kinds of new flavors of instant noodles back then...

Oh, and I also like to buy more games when Steam is on sale."

As he spoke, his face twisted slightly, as if there was an electronic malfunction. “But fake is fake after all. Even if we have the ability to turn the virtual into the real, fake is fake. In the dream, our compatriots will never wake up.”

"You are the only one who can restart the era, Li Ya."

He took his phone and sat back in his seat: "I don't know what other people think, but I trust you anyway. I don't want to see you, who is obviously our compatriot, being schemed against by another group of compatriots with bad tastes."

"Look, I didn't even bring down the pollution you should have, but deliberately restrained it. How merciful I am."

At this point, a trace of blood suddenly flashed in Shab's eyes. The neat environment, the tempting electronic devices and the steaming coffee instantly fell apart, and there was only the endless Mother of Darkness hidden in the endless dark and twisted throne, sleeping.

"So please remember, about the question of who you really are..." The voice became increasingly blurred, and eventually became chaotic, noisy, and corrupt, with all humanity lost.

[We are the same as you. You will eventually become us and become an Outer God.]

Don't Betray Us

[Don’t betray the past——]
