From Prisoner to Si Chen

Right now.

In the "Corridor" area of ​​God's Hometown Toyalan, under the huge cross-shaped "Lion Gate", two figures, a man and a woman, were standing silently.

The short-haired man in a red cloak holds an oak cane in his hand, and the long-haired girl in a white dress has white wings on her back. Both of them are looking up at the sky.

Looking at the golden meteor shower all over the sky.

"Mr. Omer, He is gone..."

July Apostle "Morning Day" Germain said in a daze.

His tone was full of disbelief.

The girl Angel beside him had red eyes and pursed her lips without saying a word.

After a while.

The girl choked up and said:

“We will never see Him again.”

The two waited for a thousand years, hoping to meet the master again one day and listen to his teachings... But what they waited for was only the shooting stars in the sky after the master's laws were stripped away and his spirit turned into.

Although it is brilliant, it is also sad.

At this moment, they suddenly heard a voice, a familiar voice, which sounded softly in their ears in a gentle tone.

…

"You plan to take advantage of the world's return to its original state to summon the legendary 'leap moon' and use it to ascend to the Leap Moon?!"

In a simple wooden house in the "Silent Place", the young man with red curly hair said in surprise.

In front of Him, there were only Torina and Gilan in a wheelchair.

"Um."

Gillan looked calm and nodded.

He only informed Torina and William of his plan.

William was a little puzzled, so he asked:

"Then why don't you choose to ascend to the Sichen in February and inherit Clark's throne... In this way, the difficulty will be much smaller and the success rate will be higher."

“Gillan’s situation is very unique.”

At this time, Torina began to explain.

"He is similar to Clark in that they both come from outer space. If he inherits the original position of Sichen, he will suffer an inevitable doom."

"There is such a thing?!"

William's eyes flashed with suspicion.

Jilan sighed and chose to confess:

"In fact, this 'bad luck' comes from the outer space. The outer god named 'Above the Law' by Mr. Clark covets the origin of this world - that is, Mahab, which is fused with the remains of the original creator god, and the supreme law contained in it."

"Mr. Clark and I are, in essence, two Outer Gods who have sent us into this world to steal the Supreme Law."

"If you want to escape the fate of being a chess piece, you cannot ascend to godhood in the conventional way."

Upon hearing this, William and Tolina were both startled.

"Outer Gods above the Law..."

The young man with red curly hair looked solemn.

The pollution radiated by the power alone was enough to drive the four Si Sui crazy, forcing Omer to cut off his remains and survive with pure spirituality... It can be seen that the power of the Outer Gods is something that Si Chen cannot contend with.

"I believe you, Gillan."

William did not open his mouth to question, but said in a deep voice.

"But if this is the only path you can take, what can we do to help you?"

“…”

Gillan fell silent.

Immediately, he shook his head bitterly.

"I once traveled through secret histories, and in another secret history I met myself who had already become Sichen. From Him, I learned many truths... In fact, among the thousands of secret histories radiated by Mahab, none of me or any of Clark has succeeded so far."

"So, I don't know what the outcome will be... I'm afraid you can't help me with anything."

"What if you do nothing and remain an apostle, and never ascend to Sichen?"

Torina suggested quietly, with worry revealed in her delicate brows.

Jilan glanced at Him and said in a low voice:

"I'm afraid not... Due to my special nature, as time goes by, I will eventually become just a shell at the mercy of 'Above the Law'. By then, I will lose my self-awareness and will have no chance of turning things around."

"In other words, you have already been occupied by the pollution from outer space, but the time for it to explode has not come yet?"

William seemed to understand what Gillan meant and said.

"Well, you could say that."

Gillan took a deep breath and nodded.

"This is indeed a time bomb of trouble that needs to be dealt with before it is too late."

William sighed.

The scene was slightly quiet, and He asked again:

"So when do you plan to start?"

"Without further delay, I plan to start the 'leap year ceremony' in the next few days."

Gillan thought about it.

"Okay." William said. "If you need anything, just tell me and I will do my best to help you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Gillan nodded solemnly.

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the girl in the black skirt, and said gently:

"Thank you too, Torina."

The girl said nothing, but silently leaned down, leaned on his shoulder, and gave him a hug.

Their cheeks were pressed lightly together, their eyes were closed, and everything was said without words.

"The Crippled King" William looked at this scene, just smiled happily, turned around and left the cabin, leaving this quiet place to the two of them.

…

…

A few days later.

August 9, 1930.

An ordinary day.

A young man sat in a wheelchair, staying on the coast of God's Land, staring at the endless black ocean in a daze.

The tide roared and there was dead silence all around.

Behind him, there was a man and a woman.

It was Torina, a young girl in a classical and elegant black dress, and William with red curly hair in a linen robe.

"Mahab and Toalan are reflections of each other. According to you, if you want to complete the 'intercalary ceremony', you must sink into the Dream Sea and visit Mahab in person at the bottom of the sea."

William looked at the back of the man in the wheelchair and spoke.

"Do you need me to take you there?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, but it's not necessary."

Jilan said with a chuckle without even turning his head.

"No outsiders can interfere in this ceremony. The entire process needs to be completed by me alone."

"In that case, I wish you good luck."

William nodded and sighed.

"Tolina and I will be waiting for you here. If there are any unexpected situations, please inform us in time and we will help you... Even if the ritual fails, it is better than losing your life."

"Yeah, I understand."

Gillan said, taking a deep breath.

"Then I'll start!"

Immediately, he grasped the armrests of the wheelchair with both hands and supported his body to sit up.

Then he jumped from the shore into the sea of ​​dreams. With a splash, Jilan's incomplete figure sank into the sea and disappeared without a trace.

William and Torina on the shore kept watching, and even after Gillan sank to the bottom of the sea, they did not look away.

A trace of worry appeared on the girl's face.

Seeing this, William comforted softly:

"Don't worry. He has created many incredible miracles along the way, and this time is no exception... Perhaps, he himself is the miracle."

"Well, I believe him."

Torina agreed and forced a smile.

But the worry in his eyes never diminished.

…

…

Gurgle.

Gurgle.

The cold and silent seabed of dreams.

Gillan's body kept sinking.

Soaked in the sea water, strong negative emotions kept coming from all directions...

Jilan knew very well that the negative emotions of everyone in the mortal world constituted every drop of black sea water here. And as he continued to go deeper into the bottom of the dream, this negative emotion would become stronger and stronger.

Fortunately, his mental strength was high enough and he was not affected too much. He just closed his eyes, held his breath, and let his body fall down.

Gurgle.

Gurgle.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

In Gilan's perception, he crossed the root continent of Toyalan, the hometown of God, and large areas of black rock covered with mysterious symbols and words rose above his head.

Going down, it connects to another inverted continent.

Exactly the same as Toyalan, like a mirror reflection.

This upside-down continent hidden under the sea is the real sacred place - Mahab!

'Although I have seen it in the real film "Curtain Call", this is my first time visiting Mahabhar.'

An idea flashed through Gillan's mind.

As he sank, he sensed the coast of Mahab. But just as he was about to find a landing point, he landed.

Jilan's whole body suddenly trembled.

Because in his perception, at a deeper level of the sea, there appeared the huge human face that he had seen while in a coma!

'It's that face again!'

Gillan was surprised.

Occupying almost the entire seabed, an incredibly large human face loomed in the darkness.

After some hesitation, he finally decided to continue sinking.

Gillan wanted to know what that face was.

Gurgle...

His body seemed extremely small in the deep sea of ​​dreams, and in front of the gradually enlarging human face, it was not even as big as a speck of dust.

Gradually, the human face became clear in Gilan's perception, allowing him to slowly see the face clearly.

“?!”

Gillan's expression changed drastically.

When he saw the person's face clearly, an indescribable chill rushed from the bottom of his heart to the top of his head, making him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave and his muscles stiffened.

The person's eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly.

But the problem is...

The facial features are exactly the same as Jilan's!

Jilan opened his eyes and stared at the huge human face in the darkness below, as if he was looking in a mirror.

“It’s me…”

He felt incredible.

'The face at the bottom of the sea in this dream is actually me?!'

A strong sense of confusion and absurdity suddenly lingered in Gillan's mind, almost stopping his thinking.

But he soon came to his senses.

'No! This can't be me! He... or He just looks like me.'

'Who is He then? ! '

Gillan's body began to tremble unconsciously.

Just then, a voice came:

"He is Gillan Iros."

Gillan looked away sharply.

A figure floated in the dark sea. He was wearing a red dress and a red hat. It was Jilan, the "Sleeping Master" in another secret history.

"It's you?!"

Gilan vibrates with spirituality and makes sounds.

"How did you get through the Secret History Crystal Wall and come here?!"

"Have you forgotten? I once told you that Mahab exists in every level of secret history, so it's not surprising that I can appear in front of you."

The other Gillan shook his head and said softly.

"What you see is only my illusion, projected here by Mahab."

Jilan was stunned.

He was silent for a while, just wanting to get an answer from the "Master of Sleep" as soon as possible, so he asked:

"You just said that this face is 'Gilan Iros'? Then who am I and who are you?"

"He is you, and also me, the first Gilan to come into this world..."

"Master Mei" sighed and said.

"According to the game's terminology, this could be called Gillan from the first episode."
