I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

After Roland and Olivia entered the hall, angels flew down from the side of the gods.

Olivia seemed to know these angels well, and it sounded like these angels also knew Teresa's six servants.

Judging from the dialogue between the two sides, the true leaders of the council are the angels. And these angels all hold divine positions, so they are actually the gods mentioned by the human church.

As for the Supreme God and the twelve chief gods, they rarely participate in the High Council. Even if they occasionally come to listen in, they rarely express their opinions.

In other words, the main gods almost never participate in the management of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The angels—that is, the gods—have always been in charge of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Upon hearing this, Roland frowned slightly, thinking to himself: 'In all the reincarnations I have witnessed, I have been to Heaven and participated in many councils of high-ranking angels.'

The gods indeed seem to have never said anything.

Although Roland had witnessed many cycles of reincarnation, he had always followed Dawn's advice and only briefly observed the important historical moments within the cycles. The number of times he personally experienced them was very few.

Therefore, this was the first time he had noticed the information about 'the silence of the supreme deity'.

Roland thought to himself, 'The divine pronouncements of Heaven are basically issued by this high-ranking angel council. If the chief gods merely listen without speaking, it means they never participate in politics.'

Therefore, all decisions made by the Kingdom of Heaven in the past were made by these angels, that is, by the gods?

Did the Supreme God and the twelve chief gods always merely observe from the sidelines?

The council had not yet begun, so angels continued to pour in.

They descended directly into the council in the form of pillars of light. Each angel, upon arrival, flew to the side of their respective god and communicated with the other angels.

Roland noticed that although the many angels were all around the gods, they seemed oblivious to the gods when they interacted with each other.

When they communicate, they basically don't pay attention to the main god, as if the main gods around them are just statues.

After the angels briefly explained some things to Roland and Olivia, they looked at the seats around the main gods and, finding that all the angels had arrived, signaled to the two that they could begin.

The main purpose of this meeting was the matter of the Dawn of Light and the passage to the divine realm. The gods were very concerned about this, and it seemed that the reason why Heaven sent Aurelia to be reincarnated in the human world was for these two matters.

Since these matters are now mainly handled by Roland, he needs to give a report today.

Roland was very well prepared regarding the Dawn of Light. He gave a brief report on the current situation concerning the Dawn of Light, the ropes, and the passage. During the report, the angels asked many questions of concern to Heaven, and Roland's answers were all perfect.

Roland even prepared a lot of technical information about angels of euthanasia, saying that he would share it with the Kingdom of Heaven through the Book of Heaven in Mary's hands.

At the end of the meeting, Roland delivered a passionate speech, attempting to persuade the Council of High Angels to begin construction on the Heavenly side as well, to cooperate with the Earthly side in repairing the ropes and passages.

Heaven possesses the technical capability to open a passage to the human world. Previously, when Aurelia was repairing the passage in Malrod, the gods cooperated with Heaven.

The repair work on the ropes and the passageway has many things in common, and with the technical data submitted by Roland, it shouldn't be a problem for Heaven to do this.

Roland recalled that in one of the great cycles, the parallel world of Olivia shared this information with Heaven. While Heaven was simultaneously reviewing the lost technologies and carrying out these two tasks, their efficiency far surpassed that of the wizards.

If the gods were willing to transform into working gods, their abilities would be terrifying.

Therefore, the conditions for construction to begin are met in Heaven. In the history of parallel worlds, they also carried out this work together with wizards.

Therefore, Roland believed that as long as he submitted the technical data to the Council of High Angels, Heaven would adopt his suggestions and begin work. However, to Roland's surprise, his proposal was interrupted by the angels with an arrogant attitude halfway through.

“Lord Roland, this is not the matter we are discussing today,” said an archangel, turning his gaze to Olivia and inquiring about something else.

As Olivia reported the matter, she also used her divine sense to send a message to Roland: 'Roland, today is just a report. How dare you make such a suggestion on your own?'
From the perspective of the high-ranking angels, doing this with mortals would be extremely detrimental to the divine dignity of Heaven, because these two projects require the personal involvement of the twelve chief gods!
You can't just spout such nonsense; be careful, the High Council might punish you!

Roland's expression was quite interesting after hearing Olivia's words.

'How could this be?' Roland frowned and thought to himself: 'From the perspective of the history in the cycle of reincarnation, it is a very natural thing for Heaven to repair the ropes and passages.'

Or, to put it another way, once the wizards reach the current progress in the project, the High Angel Council will begin repairing the ropes and passages in Heaven as well.

How could this be considered detrimental to the divine status of the Kingdom of Heaven?

As if hearing Roland's innermost thoughts, a sound suddenly echoed in the hall.

"It's not that it diminishes one's divine status, but rather that it's 'polluted'."
After the voice appeared, the hall immediately fell silent, and all the angels looked in one direction—the speaker was one of the five chief gods.

This supreme deity seemed to be only the master of a portion of the angels, but at this moment all the angels were prostrate in mid-air, praising the Holy Lord.

It seems that these twelve chief gods are all masters, just like the supreme god, but only the supreme god is the supreme master.

"Father God, you have awakened?!" the archangel who had previously reprimanded Roland exclaimed excitedly.

The Lord God did not answer the angel's words. He looked kindly at his children and then turned his gaze to Roland.

"I have come here to witness the birth of a new God."
In the eyes of the human church, the term "new gods" refers to the so-called gods in the High Angel Council, that is, the angels.

But in heaven, this word has a different meaning.

The grand hall, which had been filled with the praises of the Holy Lord, fell silent once again because of this word.

Thousands of bewildered and uncertain gazes fell upon Roland, like swords piercing his face, making him turn pale.

'What does this mean? Have they changed their minds and are planning to baptize me today?'

Just as Roland was lost in thought, the voice of another chief god echoed through the hall.

"A new god has already been born, but his coronation is not today."
Then another deity said: ["And the so-called 'pollution' is what you know as 'pollution.'"]
Another chief god continued, "[This is the truth that, in the eyes of the wizards, we must never know or touch.]"
Roland's expression stiffened slightly. He quickly cleared his mind and asked a question to change the subject.

"Could you be more direct?" Roland asked in surprise. "What do you mean by 'pollution' as I know it? What truths can't be known by you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Roland's pupils suddenly contracted.

He realized a possibility—that the gods might already know the truth that those wizards believed 'the truth cannot be known by the gods'.

But they did not go mad as the wizards believed. Instead, they remained in a state that was both conscious and asleep.

If this is indeed the case, then the wizards' understanding of 'Gods' will be overturned once again!

Just as Roland had first delved into Heracles's 'three faces' on that train to the Holy See, he discovered that they might never have truly known what 'Gods' were. (End of Chapter)
