The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 611 6000 Years Later (Part 1)

"As the One God, I command you: the Skywing race to Sky Island, the Fairy race to another dimension, the Moon-Singing race to the Moon, and the Marine race and the Vampire race to the seabed—no race is allowed to live on the continent, that is human territory! You're not happy? You'll have to endure it, because I am the One God…!"

"...Stephen, what's wrong with you?"

"N-nothing, it's just something I felt like saying on a whim..."

Being told this by Sora with a hint of disdain, Stephanie awkwardly fiddled with her fingers, her bashful manner making it seem as if she were appearing in front of everyone in a state of utter shame... No, she was indeed very ashamed.

"The One God...I'm very interested..."

"white?"

Sora watched as Shiro curled up in her arms, fiddling with her phone. The screen displayed information about the One God.

"Because...Stephen is...wearing clothes right now..."

"Oh, that. It's really unbelievable. Stephen isn't supposed to wear clothes according to the covenant, but now she's dressed like this...like this..."

"H's clothes."

Unlike the innocent and shy Sora, Shiro spoke quite frankly.

It is indeed very strange.

Back when Stephanie had lost everything—truly lost everything, to the point where she wasn't even allowed to wear clothes—she still managed to put on that particularly gorgeous and figure-hugging green dress.

With this kind of charm, Stephanie easily captured the heart of an inexperienced virgin male.

"Does that mean that because it's the clothing of the One God, it breaks the rules of the covenant? What is that? Being both a player and a referee? That's too cunning!"

"no--!"

Stephanie slammed her hand on the table.

"This is not clothing, but a prop. It is unaffected because it is classified as a prop."

"...I just can't accept it."

"Feel the same."

It's like telling someone that pandas belong to the bear family, but because of certain needs, they've been classified as felines.

Although there are many such examples in real life, or rather, I've seen emptiness and whiteness many times, this is a game world, and it's still a bit unsettling to see it like this.

"This is the clothing left to my ancestor by the One God, a treasure that the human race is proud of."

"Oh."

"What do you mean? Do you look down on the human race?"

"No, I'm just amazed that you, Stephanie, are a direct descendant of the founder of the nation. The Great War was 6000 years ago, wasn't it?"

"Stephen...was originally a super-rich heiress...?"

"Can you please not use the past tense?!"

Stephanie glared at Kong through gritted teeth. What the other person said was true, yet the words were so biting and harsh. In the end, she could only turn her head away and shout in despair.

"Yes, yes, I am a direct descendant of the founders, I am so sorry."

No, that's not what I meant.

"But...why such respect...?"

Bai voiced Kong's doubts.

Stephanie clasped her hands together and said with utmost respect, "Because the One God gave the entire planet to the human race, doesn't that deserve respect?"

"Hey... but now there's only one city left of the human race."

"Well!"

Stephanie felt as if she had been stabbed in the heart, rendered speechless by what she had been told, for it was an undeniable fact.

Just as each generation cannot protect the family property of its ancestors, the human race is also slowly having its land and living space taken away through games. Although they are no longer killed for no reason, this situation of being taken at will is no different from before.

"Sometimes I wonder, why didn't our ancestors accept the gifts of the One God?"

"What reward?"

"Become a nobleman on this planet."

"Tell me in detail." X2
Sora and Shiro seemed quite interested, and this matter was not something to be hidden among humans; in fact, it was common knowledge. Only the brother and sister players from another world were unaware of it.

Therefore, with a slightly melancholic and resentful tone, he told them what happened at the end of the great battle, and the result—

Kong and Bai cursed without any politeness.

"Are you stupid?"

"It's such a simple question... why don't you understand...?"

"A simple question?"

Sora and Shiro looked at her as if she were an idiot. Even Stephanie, who was often looked at like that by the two of them, almost couldn't help but feel uncomfortable—after all, she wasn't Duem.

"Think about it carefully, Stephen. What if there were nobles, or privileged people, in this world?"

"That...was great?"

"That's because you're the beneficiary. What if the beneficiary wasn't you but another race? Like orcs, for example?"

"I'm very unhappy."

"look."

It's an obvious truth.

Those who have privileges naturally feel happy, but those who don't feel good about it. This is especially true for the superior races, who feel that it's absurd for a mere human race to ride roughshod over them.

Even if the discontent was initially suppressed by the existence of a single god, it would only make the human race's situation more and more precarious over time, and might eventually lead to death.

Therefore, the ancestors of humankind decided from the very beginning that they did not want privileges.

"Even so, the ancestors of humankind were quite intelligent."

"What do you mean?"

"We're talking about the Covenant." The Ten Covenants are a way to bind other races and allow the human race to win over other races. Other races probably wouldn't be willing to accept it, but it's obviously better than noble privileges.

To some extent, it also took advantage of the demolition effect.

"The One and Only God..."

"What's wrong, Bai? Are you interested in the One God?"

"A little curious..."

"That's what they say."

Hearing his sister's words, Sora turned to Stephanie and said the same thing, even though he was also very interested in the One God.

"The One and Only God, according to the great war, he sided with the human race..."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

"What's wrong, Kong?"

"Isn't Tetu the One God?"

"Tetu is the sole agent of the divine race... huh?"

"Ok?"

The two looked at each other.

Even Bai couldn't help but look at them.

"As expected... something... isn't right..."

"Ah, it was Tetu who brought us here, right? I thought that guy was the only god, but I didn't expect him to be the sole agent of the gods. But even so, he's almost the strongest, isn't he?"

However, this resulted in very little information about the Venerable One.

"By the way, don't you find the name 'Zun Zun' rather strange?"

"Have it?"

"Yeah! I've been wanting to complain about this for a while now. What kind of weird name is this?! This 'One God,' could it be that he wants to kiss someone? Maybe he's secretly spying on us somewhere."

Rick couldn't hold back when he heard the name. It was just a sarcastic remark, but Stephanie's expression turned slightly awkward, as if she'd been hit where it hurt.

"Hey!"

"No, that's not it! Actually, during the great battle, the One God did that... in order to keep a close eye on the opponent's actions... It was absolutely not intentional spying, absolutely not!"

I only found out after asking carefully.

The news that the One God liked to spy first came from the Forest Elves. Although no one believed it at first, they had to believe it when the Forest Elves' authorized representative presented evidence.

Is this the One God?

"It's a bit... subtle..."

Kong and Bai have mixed feelings.

However, considering that this world is already a game world, there's nothing that isn't surprising.

...No.

As Stephanie shared more information about the One God, Sora and Shiro found it increasingly incredible that the planet could function so smoothly.

First, after the One God obtained the Star Cup, he immediately became a hands-off manager, pushing all the chores onto Tetu of the Divine Race, and then disappeared without a trace, not showing his face for 6000 years.

During this time, they even tried to change the ecology by throwing bananas into the water, planting saury in the fields, turning humans into cyborgs, promoting career cards, and constantly spying on forest elves, among other things that left people speechless.

Humanity is ostracized by various races, and its current hardships may well be partly due to the existence of a single God.
"Stephen, why did you let someone like that become the One God?"

Don't ask me.

Stephanie couldn't help but complain as well.

She was also puzzled as to why such a being would become the sole god, since she herself was just a short-lived species with an upper age limit of only 120 years. However, it was true that the sole god favored the human race, and she was very grateful to the other party for that.

"But this is always confusing, and we need to find some sources of intelligence."

"Stephen...where is the library of this kingdom?"

Bai immediately understood his brother's idea. He thought he could get the exact location of the library, but what he saw was Stephanie's embarrassed expression, exactly the same as when they were discussing the One God.

A bad feeling rose in my heart.

"Well, the library has already lost."

Stephanie said this, her face flushed.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

After a swaying and rocking carriage journey of about an hour, in the suburbs some distance from the center of Elchia, and passing through what appeared to be school buildings and student dormitories, they arrived at the National Elchia Grand Library.

"so big!"

My first impression immediately brought to mind the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., which houses a staggering 100 million books—the world's largest library, and its appearance is equally impressive.

Its beautiful and luxurious appearance rivals that of the royal city of Elchia. Such a magnificent library makes one want to re-evaluate the human race in this world.

But it was easily taken away by someone else.

"It's okay, as long as we get it back."

The siblings walked in with great interest, and then they saw an angel... or rather, a Winged angel ranked sixth.

His entire being exuded an overwhelming presence, making it difficult for people to look directly at him.

A geometric halo rotates on its head, and faint glows emanate from its waist. From an aerodynamic perspective, its wings are too small to allow the body to float in the air.

Her long, flowing hair continued to flutter even in the still indoor environment, and each strand reflected light like a prism, creating a rainbow-like effect.

His eyes were slightly open, revealing an indifferent gaze.

"—Excuse me, what brings you people from there to my library?"

The atmosphere created vanished in an instant.
