I, the wizard, the foolish Buddha.

As the King of a Thousand Eyes spoke, Catherine and Olivia slowly widened their eyes and looked at Roland.

Roland was indeed the most perfect experiment; his father was human, and his mother was divine. He possessed both human and divine qualities.

He has a future incarnation of God—he is destined to become a mad god.

But he was born as a human being—his past was that of a human. This human form was given to him by the three ultimate mad gods, the Three Mad Goddesses, so his past must have been that of a human being, not a mad god.

Therefore, the Third Holy Mother of Madness gave birth to a child born with paradox in mind, who must be both human and divine. He could never be a mad god, yet he must be a mad god.

Therefore, Roland, this child born of paradox, perfectly fits the experimental conditions! He will surely be able to prove the paradox studied by the Thousand-Eyed King and 'Anthony'!
The King of a Thousand Eyes slowly looked at Roland: "Roland, my student. All things in this world are essentially the same. The world is a projection of the lower world, and all things in the world are naturally born from the lower world."

You have been struggling with whether you are an 'Alaye'.

But who are you, and what difference does it make?

Every one of us, and even anyone in any dimension, inevitably has a shadow in the underworld.

The only difference is that we can neither prove nor see it, but you can see it; you can awaken the divine presence in everyone!

The King of a Thousand Eyes firmly believed that Roland was not an evil god, but a true wizard.

He firmly believed that Roland would not go mad from looking directly at the divine image, and that the collective will of the wizards could help Roland maintain his sanity.

In his research on madness, or rather, mysticism, the Thousand-Eyed King did no less research than the gods of Heaven. He believed that if the wizards who had ignited the flames of madness could maintain their sanity under the power of the dawn's light, then Roland, who had gathered all their thoughts, would surely also be able to maintain his sanity with everyone's help.

Of course, this is not absolute. But the Thousand-Eyed King has faith in Roland and the wizards.

Regarding the tone for the future, the wizards had reached a consensus, and the Thousand-Eyed King's final words sealed the deal for the entire plan.

Roland then revealed his and O'Reilly's original plan and expressed his concerns.

Roland believes there may be some issues with the details of how the human and divine realms are brought into the lower world together.

Previously, Roland was alone and couldn't achieve perfection in many things. But now, he has a large and professional team of top-notch wizards behind him, so the situation is naturally very different.

The team will conduct rigorous research and simulations on all aspects of the plan to ensure that the entire operation goes smoothly.

Furthermore, everyone agreed that the truth and the plan should be revealed.

The difference between everyone knowing the truth and the plan and actively embracing Roland, and everyone being kept in the dark and passively being unified and 'eaten up' by Roland, is enormous.

If the wizards unite and actively participate, they will be cooperative when Roland unifies everyone. This would not only be much faster but also have far fewer side effects, thus largely preventing Roland from going mad.

Conversely, if everyone were to be eaten one by one by Roland without knowing anything, many would resist halfway through. This would not only be very slow, but also have significant side effects.

Furthermore, there is much, much work to be done in the fight against the apocalypse. This cannot be kept secret from everyone if we are to achieve victory.

Therefore, everyone believes it's time to make things public.

It's not enough to just make this public; we also need to conduct extensive research and discussion among the entire population. We must ensure deep involvement from everyone and mobilize their initiative. As Williams previously stated, if the wizards of the East couldn't understand these matters, if everyone was afraid of death, the wizards of the East wouldn't have reached where they are today.

Therefore, the elders had great confidence in the wizards of the East, and they firmly believed that the wizards would unite as one and overcome the apocalypse together.

Everyone believes that some people, either because they cannot see the truth or because they are tempted by profit, will choose to grovel before heaven. But such people will definitely be a minority.

Once the divine and human realms are connected, these people will inevitably emerge. Therefore, although the gods cannot know about this world until the ropes and passages are fully repaired, once the passages are open, the gods will immediately learn everything through the prayers of the traitors.

Therefore, the wizards had no way back in this whole affair; they had to persevere and win.

According to the plan, on the day of baptism, the ropes will be completely repaired, and the passage between the realm of gods and the human world will be opened. At that time, the gods will descend upon this world, and the final battle will begin.

Such a big decision was made in this small study.

After the meeting, everyone went their separate ways and got busy. The Thousand-Eyed King and the White Queen personally saw their biological daughter Catherine, their goddaughter Olivia, and their good son-in-law off at the door.

“Father,” Roland said to the King of a Thousand Eyes, “there are some things I would like to discuss with you privately.”

The King of a Thousand Eyes knew that Roland would have questions for him after returning from Heaven. He took Roland back to his study once more, while the White Queen left with Catherine and Olivia.

After closing the study door, Roland asked a question that he hadn't mentioned before.

“Father.” Roland’s expression was serious and hesitant. “The gods say that you are not a wizard, but the first god in this world. They all say that the throne of the supreme god should belong to you. Don’t you really want to take it back?”

The King of a Thousand Eyes seemed to have anticipated that Roland would ask this question.

The Thousand-Eyed King was not surprised by this question. Instead of answering directly, he asked Roland, "Roland, what do you think God is?"

This question stumped Roland.

As an Eastern Wizard, and a true Black Abyss Wizard, Roland's first lesson in magic was related to the gods.

After entering the academy, Roland continued to study the divine, and later even came into contact with all sorts of gods.

Like all wizards, Roland still harbors an uncertain attitude, or rather, a skepticism, regarding what God truly is.

The wizards disagreed with the gods and the church's definition of deities.

“I had always thought that only gods like Heracles could be considered gods,” Roland said. “They symbolize a truth that cannot be seen, cannot be guessed, and cannot be known or understood.”

But later, I gradually realized that they were just a group of paper ants trapped in a cage.

They once climbed out of the paper, only to enter another, even larger cage.

They are omnipotent, yet they cannot control their own freedom and will.

After a pause, Roland continued, "They are not gods. They are just like us, a group of pitiful ants." (End of Chapter)
