Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 198 Sun God: I Have Fallen
Now, thousands of years have passed, and his children have grown up, but in order to gain humanity, they decided to restart their lives.

And He once again personally facilitated the "birth" of His own child.

"That's why fate is such a wonderful thing, right?" Rowling spoke with a smile, as if he had seen what the ancient sun god was thinking.

"It's really amazing." The ancient sun god came back to his senses, smiled and nodded.

Ouroboros, who was standing next to him, first glanced down at the Amon cub in his arms, then at the Ancient Sun God, and finally at Amon himself, saying, "Are they talking about you?"

Amon, who had been paying attention to the ancient sun god the entire time and probably guessed what the other party was thinking, raised his hand and pinched the monocle on his face, but the movement was a little forceful.

Although Amon's reason told him that his father was looking at his clone, emotionally, Amon couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, or jealous.

"Tsk!" Amon curled his lips and said nothing more.

At this moment, there was a noise in the darkness not far away, as if someone was approaching.

Luo Lin glanced over there and roughly guessed who the visitor was - the gray fog seal had such a big commotion, it would be strange if the people of Yuecheng who had been paying attention to the gray fog wall didn't see it.

So Luo Lin looked at the Ancient Sun God and said, "It seems that the people from Moon City have arrived. Do you want to meet them?"

The Ancient Sun God pursed his lips. This time he did not directly refuse like he did last time when facing the City of Silver.

Luo Lingang continued with a smile, "Go meet them. Unlike Silver City, since you've given the people of Moon City a mission, you should see it through to completion."

"...I understand." The ancient sun god nodded, looked in the direction of Moon City and sighed.

He should give the people of Yuecheng a conclusion to their mission so that they can better embrace a new life.

……

Nim is the high priest of Moon City.

Like Colin Iliad, Nim also led Moon City to hold out in this darkness. However, in a sense, the people of Moon City were not as lucky as those of Silver City. They did not have a special enough seal to allow the black-faced grass for human consumption to grow on the land of Moon City.

Fortunately, Yuecheng originally had the special mission of monitoring the seal of the Western Continent, so the city-state was given a relatively complete set of magic potion formulas from various sources. This allowed them to survive until now even though they could only rely on eating monsters.

However, just as Silver City has reached its limit, the people of Moon City are actually unable to hold on any longer. This has nothing to do with whether their will is firm or not, but because the people of Moon City have already shown serious deformities after generations of toxins and madness accumulation. If this continues, it is hard to say what the next generation will become.

Therefore, Nim was once very anxious, fearing that Moon City might perish under such circumstances. He even made many attempts to do so, but there was no obvious effect and he could not find a way to truly save Moon City.

Until today, Nim suddenly discovered that there was movement in the wall of gray mist that the Creator had ordered them to monitor.

This made Nim feel shocked, excited and terrified at the same time. He almost immediately led his men towards the gray fog wall. When they arrived, the movement of the gray fog wall had subsided for a long time, but Nim almost subconsciously held his breath.

Because there were two figures in front of the gray fog wall. They were two completely unfamiliar "humans", and their bodies did not even look deformed at all.

It had been so long since Nim had seen a completely normal person. In Moon City, the only normal humans were found in ancient texts, which had made Nim forget what a normal person looked like. This wasn't even the most crucial point. The most crucial point was that Moon City, once a city-state directly assigned by the Creator to monitor the Western Continent's seal, had no shortage of records about the Creator, and even within those records, a very small number depicted the Creator's appearance.

That description completely matches the one in front of him.

Nim's lips trembled, and a guess emerged in his mind, but he was not sure.

"Ugh……"

Nim heard a sigh, and the being that seemed to be the Creator walked in front of him, and a gentle voice sounded in his ears.

"Thank you for your hard work over the past 3,722 years! Your mission is over."

Nim finally couldn't hold back her tears.

……

The affairs of Yuecheng needed to be dealt with, which was not difficult for the ancient sun god. He could use the power of the sun path to purify the toxins in the bodies of the people of Yuecheng, use the white tower to simulate the power of the earth path to treat them, catalyze some edible plants, and manually pinch a sun for them, and everything would be done.

After doing all this, the Ancient Sun God looked at Nim beside him and said, "Moon City still believes in me, right?"

"Yes, we have never wavered in our faith in the Lord, and we have always been looking forward to His return." Nim lowered his head and said in a pious voice.

The ancient sun god sighed, but still said: "Since you still believe in me, then please do one last thing for me..."

He tilted his head to glance at Luo Lin and said, "This is Lucifer. From now on, you no longer need to believe in me. You will become his believers."

Nim immediately raised his head in shock. Because he was too surprised, he almost blurted out: "Why? Lord... Lord, did we do something wrong? Is that why you want to abandon us..."

"Not abandoned." The Ancient Sun God shook his head, looked at Nim with a serious expression and a sigh, and said, "I have fallen."

Nim stared blankly with a dull expression.

"...The moment darkness enveloped this land, I fell. The person you see before you now is but a shadow of my former self." The ancient sun god spoke this cruel truth, looking at Nim and saying:
"Lucifer awakened me. He hopes to help you. He is a very kind being. I feel at ease entrusting you to him."

This is the truth. The reason why the Sun God chose to hand over Silver City and Moon City to Luo Lin was not only because he wanted to increase Luo Lin's anchor points, but also because He had fallen. After all, the real creator was half-crazy and trapped in the God-forsaken land, so it was not suitable for him to continue to exist as the faith of these two city-states.

"Lord, Lord..." Life's ups and downs are just like this. Nim was so sad that he could not utter any other words except calling the sun god. He really believed in the sun god, although he had never seen this god before today.

But Nim was, after all, the high priest of Moon City. Although he believed in the Sun God, he cared more about the safety of the people of Moon City. So after grieving, Nim lowered his head and said:

“Your will is our will.”
