Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 463 I Want to Go on an Adventure with You! (3.6K)

Dear Mr. Ron, it is as if we are meeting in person. I have something I would like to ask you.

What you said touched me deeply, but I still feel like I can't see the world clearly, or the root cause of all this.

From childhood to adulthood, I have always had a question, and also a very naive idea: if everyone unites and works together, the world's hardships, suffering and poverty will be reduced by more than half.

But it wasn't until I grew up that I realized how ridiculous these naive ideas were. There are conflicts among humans, so kings, ministers, nobles, and members of parliament are needed to enact laws to maintain the most basic order.

While this may not be the best approach, it can still solve some problems.

However, after hearing your answer, I inevitably fell into confusion again.

Why has the royal family, which prides itself on being the guardians, become like this? Why have the nobles become so focused on immediate gains?

Can't they see the workers who are born of order and suffer because of it?

Ron, who was setting up his burial chamber, flicked the letter the messenger had brought and then pushed up the bridge of his black sunglasses with his index finger.

"Ha, that's simple. They need a great rule-maker, like me!"

A golden, twisted figure emerged out of nowhere, cheerfully expressing its opinions and views.

Ron raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, pursed his lips, and retorted irritably:

"Fool, can't you see the problem?"

"You are precisely the root of the biggest problem, unless you can reclaim all the characteristics of the universe, force those ancient beings to reclaim their gifts, and no longer reveal themselves to any living being."

"Otherwise, in such a social structure, the extraordinary beings who wield great power will inevitably become the point of conflict. Whether it is the Second Era or the Fourth Era, these histories are not the epics of various races and humans, but merely the balance and transfer of extraordinary power."

?

The genie was stunned by such a knowledgeable explanation, and suddenly felt like a complete country bumpkin.

My head feels itchy, as if a brand new brain is about to grow inside.

"You have to understand Him. The Child of Chaos has always been like this, rigid and inflexible. Even if He knows how to exploit loopholes, He's only a little bit clever."

"Ha, diagnosed as just playing around with farm stuff!"

Ron's silver pocket watch, not wanting to be left out, uttered a strange remark.

Unfortunately, in this world, only Klein, who is also a "transmigrator," can understand Him.

"If everyone were turned into a puppet or an avatar, all this trouble would be gone. Under heaven, everyone would be equal!"

At this moment, the Celestial, no longer suppressed by Ron, made a grand vow and delivered the most just decision.

Once everyone becomes one of us, this sharp and complex problem will be solved effortlessly.

"Mysterious, what kind of equality do you have? We should arrange everyone's fate so that they can experience the full spectrum of life."

The "original" will also jumped into the small theater at this moment, giving an ambiguous answer.

It's clear that He only cares about his own image and status, and doesn't care about being persistent in resolving these complex problems arising from conflicts from all sides.

"Ha, if you were born into a good family, would it be easier to experience the full spectrum of life?"

Ron scoffed, watching the two guys who were singing in unison, and mentally kicked their butts hard.

They were just asking me a question, why are you all jumping out to show off your presence?!

With a wave of his hand, the blond boy pulled out a timeline and transformed it into a clone holding a playing card.

"You stay here and monitor everything in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Notify me immediately if anything changes!"

Ron knelt on the ground and nodded obediently. He looked so incredibly cute.

If anyone else were here, they would probably be so charmed by her cuteness that they'd get nosebleeds.

"Hey, wait a minute, where are you going?"

Seeing his original self turn to leave, Ron quickly stopped him, seemingly afraid that his original self would make him suffer and work hard while he went out to enjoy himself and do nothing.

"I'm going to search for other source materials!"

Ron, in his true form, spoke righteously, then used his authority to seal the place, traversing space to arrive at…

Backlund.

Inside the Earl Hall's villa in Queens.

Audrey Hall was pacing back and forth in her backyard, looking as if she was anticipating something.

It was afternoon, and the sunlight made her golden hair look like gold, while her emerald eyes were like two emeralds that complemented her golden hair perfectly.

Her beautiful face, delicate features, skin as smooth as a peeled egg with a slight blush, and her flawless figure made even the greenhouse flowers in the garden, encased in glass, pale in comparison.

She stood there in the January chill of Backlund, wearing a white dress with ruffled cuffs, like a stubborn white flower waiting for someone to arrive.

"Actually, you don't need to wait for me here. No matter where you are, I can find you."

Just then, a familiar yet slightly childish voice reached the noblewoman's ears, causing her to turn around in surprise, a genuine smile spreading across her face.

"Mr. Ron, I just find it quiet here, which is conducive to thinking. Even Susie likes to stay here."

"Right, Susie?"

"Woof!"

Bending down to pet the golden retriever that suddenly became wary of Ron, Audrey unconsciously compared the grown-up Ron to the Ron of the past in her mind.

Although she could see the changes in the other person during the Tarot reading, the gray mist obscured her vision, so she could only make out their general outline.

Hmm~ Although she's gotten taller, she's still a little shorter than me. If Xiu knew, she would definitely be very sad. Her appearance hasn't changed much; she still has an indescribable sense of perfection.

"Mr. Ron, do you know why?"

Suddenly, the girl asked this question, her heart filled with confusion.

The noble families of Backlund were all related, especially to the royal family, so in other words, his relatives, friends, and even family members seemed to condone this situation.

Audrey didn't believe they were all kept in the dark, nor did she believe they were unaware of the dire situation in the East End, since most of the factories in Backlund were owned by nobles.

All of this was caused by the aristocratic class.

There was also the colonial wars waged by the Kingdom of Rune, in which his second brother, the Hall family, participated and reaped considerable benefits. This was something she had previously taken for granted and had never given much thought to.

But recently, after realizing Ron's identity, she has often put herself in his shoes and wondered what would happen if she were colonized.

Will you lose your life to the merciless guns, or become a laborer on a plantation, busy every day just to fill your stomach?

She was too embarrassed to think about these questions, and she had no right to think about them.

As a beneficiary of the system, the noblewoman's conscience plunged her into guilt that she herself was unaware of.

She became silent and gloomy, losing her former radiance and confidence.

Even today, she has discovered that the Ruen royal family, who pride themselves on being protectors, are the same; they are arrogant and treat everything they protect as consumables.

This caused all the accumulated problems to erupt, and she inevitably fell into a mental breakdown and self-destructive cycle.

If it weren't for the psychologist's ability to soothe her mind, and if Susie hadn't discovered the problem early on, she might have already become schizophrenic or even insane.

Why?

Which explanation would you like to hear?

Ron stepped forward and gentlemanly took the girl's hand, giving her a sense of security.

"Hmm, I'd like to know your opinion."

"The gods' opinion," Audrey added at the opportune moment.

"Then you'll be disappointed. Although I am omniscient and omnipotent, I am by no means able to solve all problems."

Ron Sothos squeezed Audrey Hall's soft, boneless hand in his right hand, a gesture that eased her tension.

"In my view, humans are like children who never grow up; they cannot be left to their own devices, nor can they be strictly restricted."

"Every living thing has different ways of surviving and instincts. Humans are social creatures, but they also have their own independent thoughts. This is human nature, and it cannot be changed. This is something that will inevitably happen."

"They are not like ants, nor are they the kind of swarming creatures that share a single thought. The only way to perfectly solve this problem is to erase their intelligence, castrate their brains, and restrict them."

"But, do you accept this ending?"

"."

Mr. Ron, I was just asking for your opinion, aren't you being a bit too extreme?

The boy's answer left the girl momentarily bewildered; her beautiful face, comparable to that of a high-ranking witch, twitched slightly, but her emotions eased considerably with her sarcastic remark.

"In that case, humans would be no different from domesticated animals, only capable of blindly praising deities and completely losing their own identity."

"Hmm, you got it right!" Ron snapped his fingers.

"Mr. Ron, with your wisdom, how can this trend be reversed?"

Perhaps because the gods provided some guidance, Audrey Hall no longer focused solely on appearance and seemed to have grasped something more essential.

Without a second thought, the blond boy chuckled and said:

"Human lifespan is only a few decades or so, which is far too short. And they do not learn from history. So, like a carriage traveling on a rugged mountain road, it is inevitable that they will have to change direction in time."

"Just like Russell two hundred years ago, he propelled the development of the entire era. Although it was good at the time, it is somewhat outdated now. What may be suitable for today's laws and trends may still not be in line with the times two hundred years from now."

At this point, Ron tiptoed slightly and gently touched the noble lady's head, which was covered in blond hair.

"Your thoughts and ideas have surpassed those of most people in this era. This is neither their fault nor your problem."

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that some people are simply born with bad intentions."

"So, if there's a problem, we'll solve it. The world is a giant makeshift operation, and no one can truly be perfect."

"Your education forced you to be a perfectionist, which ultimately led to this internal conflict."

To paraphrase Russell, "To err is human."

The blond boy's words of comfort and agreement made Audrey Hall purse her lips, and a hint of tears seemed to well up in her emerald eyes.

She has many friends, but she is probably only one person who understands her so well and knows what she is thinking.

It is rare to have a confidant in life, the most difficult to find a bosom friend through the ages.

Yes, it was Russell who said it!

At this moment, the back garden fell into a long silence, leaving Susie staring blankly with her dog-like eyes at everything.

What happened? I can't understand. Is this just a limitation of dogs?

Just as the golden retriever was lost in thought, Audrey Hall wiped away the tears welling up in her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Mr. Ron, thank you for your advice. I know what I need most right now!"

"I need to travel around, take a look, analyze the problems, and try my best to pull the swerving carriage back on track!"

At this point, Audrey paused, then her eyes sparkled with a touch of girlish shyness as she asked softly:

"Mr. Ron, may I be your companion and go on adventures with you?"

"If, if, it doesn't work, I can do it myself."

Seeing the girl's expression, Ron shook the pendant on his wrist to put it away, and then nodded.

"No problem, it's just a small matter."

Having known each other for so long, it's time for the noble lady to serve me!

The little fish thought to itself.
