Mystery: My Encounters with the Celestial God

Chapter 538 Transcending the Second Era

"Yes, He really went to the moon and fought the original moon for three hundred rounds."

The blond boy nodded in confirmation, and then said in a serious tone:

"Rossel charged in and out seven times, fighting the Primal Moon to a standstill, but the Primal Moon was the most evil of evil gods, managing to turn the tables and charge in and out seven times..."

Ron gestured with his little hands as he spoke, but the more he talked, the more Russell felt something was off.

"?"

Did I ask you to say this?

The blond youth continued his eloquent speech, but seeing that everyone in the Tarot Club was listening attentively without any reaction, he grew bored and changed the subject:

"Actually, it's nothing. To put it simply, the original moon was located on the moon, not on the ground beneath our feet or in some hidden space."

"From a scientific perspective, the moon is just a celestial body, and moreover, a satellite of the planet you are standing on. There are countless similar planets in the universe. In essence, it does not have any authority; it is merely a symbol, a symbol bestowed by the gods."

"And why are there so many deities governing the moon?"

"Why?" Fors followed closely behind, asking with a face full of curiosity.

"What do you think of the adjacent pathways?" The boy raised his chin slightly. "This is the biggest secret in the world, a secret about the apocalypse. Just knowing it will corrupt you, eroding you with a force from who-knows-where. But it's okay to talk about it here."

"If you still feel there is danger, you can listen to this and then forget some of your memories here."

"Honestly, I would never tell anyone this kind of secret under normal circumstances."

"Then tell me!"

Klein silently complained to himself, but he already had part of the answer in his mind.

If the "True God" is the pinnacle of this world, then what is the "Ancient Sun God" who consolidated the authority of the ancient gods and made the other ancient gods unable to raise their heads?

"Furthermore, 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun' is not a true god; perhaps he is a combination of a diviner, a thief, and an apprentice."

Without wasting time, Ron continued, "It is less the authority of the moon than the authority of femininity, spirituality, reproduction, and life. You should know that I am a born deity, and so is the one on the moon."

"Her true name is not the original moon, but 'Fallen Mother Goddess,' who has taken over the authority of the 'moon' and the 'earth.' In other words, all the extraordinary properties you consume came from her."

"Besides the 'Fallen Mother Goddess,' they have another name, collectively referred to by the seven gods as the Old Ones, Outer Gods, and Pillars."

As soon as Ron finished speaking, silence fell once again above the gray fog, a deathly silence.

These extremely secrets, known to fewer than ten people in the world, have once again broadened the worldview of the Tarot Club members.

They thought the Seven Gods were invincible, but they never expected that someone would be even more valiant than them.

At this moment, the noblewoman was the first to recover from her shock and fear, and asked with great concern:

"Mr. Fate, then why does He reside on the moon?"

To be honest, she was somewhat numb at this moment, as she was only at Sequence Six. After all, what Ron said was too far-fetched. If there really was such a powerful Outer God, who was a level higher than the Seven Gods, then why hadn't this world been destroyed yet?

"Good question. I never thought you'd panic like this, Audrey."

"What else could it be but the erosion of the real world? It covets the lost power and wants to take it all back."

Without pausing, Ron continued:

"Before the First Era, the original Creator awoke, and all the characteristics scattered throughout the universe were gathered here. The inevitable aggregation effect tore countless characteristics off from those ancient outer gods. Otherwise, where do you think the twenty-two paths of divinity came from?"

"And this will only lead to one result: all the Outer Gods in the entire universe will be stuck around this planet."

"Fortunately, the first thing that came to life may have been its own idea, and it set up a barrier on this planet that blocked out all the Outer Gods, keeping them all out."

"This is the true story of Genesis; what you read in books is false."

It is well known that when something is shocking, one is completely speechless, and when something is too shocking, others will think you are talking nonsense.

"Mr. 'Destiny,' this sounds like something out of a novel or storybook set in a mystical world. What you're saying is simply too much."

"Too far away."

After a moment's thought, "The Magician" Fors said softly, then, as if realizing something, reflexively explained:

"I... I don't disbelieve, but... but..."

"But you think that matters of the gods are too high a level for you, right?" The boy stroked his chin and gave another example, "To tell you the truth, this year is 1350, and the end of the world is in 1368, which means that in 18 years the barrier of the original creator will disappear."

Taking a deep breath, Ron said in a rather serious tone:

"A gaze cast from the stars will shatter the earth, and even the true gods will be unable to escape!"

"This prophecy was made by the yellow light, one of the seven lights of the spirit world, so its accuracy is just so-so."

Ron glanced at Klein and, seeing the other's expression as if he had swallowed a dead fly, was very satisfied.

How could this happen?!

Why be so cruel!?

"Justice" Audrey pursed her lips, her heart almost crushed by the boy's ruthless words.

When a person dreams of a bright future, aspires to life goals, and intends to change the world with their own hands, someone tells them that everything they do is in vain, and that all of this will be destroyed in eighteen years, not even the gods can avoid it.

This is undoubtedly pessimistic and heavy, like a prisoner locked in a jail, unable to resist the approach of the end and death.

"No, Audrey, you can't just sit here and wait to die. You have to try something, right?"

Taking a deep breath to reassure herself and all the members of the Tarot Club, she then carefully asked:

"Mr. Fate, according to you, how many Outer Gods are there outside the barrier? Is there really no room for maneuver?"

"Heh, exactly ten, no more, no less."

"Fallen Mother Goddess, Mother Tree of Desire, Child of Chaos, Primordial Hunger, Ring of Destiny, Superstar Ruler, Unending Whispers, Decaying King, High-Dimensional Overlord, Weaver of Fate."

There are so many!?

Are all of these beings beyond true gods?

For a few seconds, Audrey Hall was stunned, the glimmer of hope that had just emerged in her heart was crushed by the overwhelming reality.

"Are you reciting menu items? It rhymes so well, are you preparing for graduate school entrance exams?!"

Klein, secretly amazed, glanced at Ron. He hadn't forgotten that back in Backlund, Ron had taken a trip through the stars and returned looking radiant.

Thoughts raced through his mind, and "The Fool" glanced furtively at Ron, only to find that the guy's expression hadn't changed much.

Then, he immediately manipulated the "world" and laughed hoarsely:

"Mr. Destiny, a good story must have a savior, right?"

You're quite the smart kid, aren't you? I haven't spoiled you for nothing!

Upon hearing this, Ron was overjoyed and immediately straightened his back and patted his chest loudly, while also giving "the world" a few words of advice.

"Ahem, that's right, it's me. Mr. 'World,' don't be so flamboyant, be a little more humble."

I knew it! This guy went through all that trouble just to show off!

Klein's lips twitched; Ron's reaction was almost exactly what he had predicted.

Since there is an apocalypse, Ron, who can overpower "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun", will certainly not wait for the crisis to arrive. Even if he cannot defeat those ancient gods, he must have a way to protect himself.

"Don't be so discouraged. Before we go any further, let me introduce you to an important concept: 'pillar'."

"The 'pillar' is the absolute pinnacle of this universe, a state of mind that transcends time, space, geography, and authority."

"There were five pillars in total, three of whom have already perished, leaving only me and the Fallen Mother Goddess."

As for the old Celestial Venerable, he was a sitting duck, and Ron didn't even consider him.

The blond boy glanced around and, seeing that "Justice," "The Magician," "The Hanged Man," "The Hermit," "The Moon," and "The Sun" were looking at him, raised his head in satisfaction.

No wonder narcissists love to brag so much, it turns out this is really awesome!

"Do not be afraid, do not hesitate. The conflict arose because of me and will end because of me. You should remember that if you walk with God, the glory will naturally belong to God, but it will belong to yourselves."

It is yourselves who will benefit.

After the Tarot session ended and the dangerous memories were sealed away, Klein returned to reality. He shuddered at Ron's rather pretentious words as they echoed in his mind.

"This guy, if you're going to brag, just brag. Why are you being so coy?"

Although the boy's words were somewhat unclear, Klein was able to roughly translate what they meant.

What are you afraid of? I'll cover for you. All you have to do is listen to me brag, and you'll get your share of the benefits!

"His boastful nature hasn't diminished at all!"

Just as the Master of Widowhood was about to push open the cabin door and tell the unlucky hunter that his misfortune had a solution, he suddenly heard a childish voice.

"What do you mean, 'your boastful nature hasn't diminished at all'?"

Are you born in the Year of the Cat? You walk without making a sound.

Klein froze, clearly startled.

"It's nothing, I was talking about Russell."

The boy stared at Klein suspiciously, and after a long while, he nodded and said:

"Never mind, just take it as you talking about Him."

"Here, take this."

As he spoke, Ron removed the sunglasses from his head and the crystal pendant hanging from his wrist, and then pulled out a ball of light composed of dark blue from the void.

"After I leave, place all of these on Source Castle. Once you complete this task, I will not only give you the potion recipe for the Trickster, but also the special properties."

?

So generous! Where were you all this time?

Upon hearing this, Klein was stunned for a moment, then casually accepted the sunglasses, crystal pendant, and the sphere with a ghostly blue light.

"What are all these things?" he asked casually, not expecting Ron to answer.

"Oh, the sunglasses are relics of the demon king Fabti. I used their uniqueness and characteristics to create a magical item. The crystal pendant is the same; it is a relic of the ancient sun god."

The unique characteristics of the "Bound God" and the "Black Emperor" were contained within the azure light, but time was too short to complete them.

"Don't forget to put these on the Source Castle. Don't even think about using them yourself, or you'll suffer a terrible fate. If there are any problems, go to Roselle and let Him use them. He can handle it."

The young man earnestly gave Klein his advice, fearing that he might lose his mind and be played to death by these unique individuals who were so obedient to him.

"Uniqueness, given to me!?"

Klein's wrist twitched, nearly dropping the crystal pendant. He looked at Ron in disbelief, as if to say...

Even if I sold you all the lives I had left, I still couldn't afford it!

Hearing this, Ron was speechless. He curled his lips and said sarcastically, "Klein, if you don't have a mirror, you can take a piss and see if you're qualified."

"These are just to prevent accidents from happening to you. Although you are weak, your source essence is not weak."

What are you talking about? I'm already at Sequence 5, okay? It's only been half a year, that's fast enough.

Klein opened his mouth, then suddenly realized that Ron was acting very strangely.

"He first tricked Russell into joining the Tarot Club, and then gave me these things. It sounds like he's entrusting me with his last words. Is this guy planning to go and fight 'Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun' to the death?"

Seemingly having read the adventurer's thoughts, the blond boy snorted:

"Hmph, congratulations on guessing right, but there's no reward. If I die, I'll definitely drag that bastard down with me. You can take his place and resurrect me while you're at it. Even though you're useless, the team I leave for you is so strong that even a pig could become a god."

The first part of those words made Klein's heart sink. He was about to advise Ron not to take the risk, saying that things were fine as they were. But when he heard the second part, his face suddenly darkened, and his lips moved as if he was about to curse.

But upon seeing the boy's nonchalant expression, she whispered:

"Do we really have to go?"

"We absolutely have to go!"

"What I mean is, could you give me your property before I go?"

???

You son of a bitch!

The blond boy's breath hitched, his eyes filled with confusion.

When did Klein, this handsome young man with a conscience, become so sarcastic? I thought you were concerned about me!

"No, I won't give it to you!"

Ron stepped forward, grabbed Klein's little finger, and kept prying it until Klein cried and begged for mercy, calling him "Dad" before he finally let go.

After giving Mr. Fool's pert buttocks a couple of kicks in annoyance, the boy proudly raised his head and said:

"I've taken care of your hunter friend's misfortune. Stay away from him; he's gotten so rude!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ron's figure vanished abruptly. The space in front of him shifted, and he finally stopped on a dark and desolate land surrounded by thunder.

During the Tarot meeting, he already learned that the Mother Tree of Desire had successfully communicated with the "Shadow World," and now, it was time to return to the past and explore the mysterious Second Age!
