Life has dealt a heavy hand to a weak demigod like me.

Although the power of hope of the Eternal Blazing Sun Sect is illusory, it is not false!

Chapter 302: The Order of Life, a Country That Does Not Exist

"Sacred robes and stairs?" Niber Ross looked a little confused.

In his heart, or the hearts of most of the Eternal Blazing Sun's believers, although these two items are the most important holy objects of the Eternal Blazing Sun sect, the symbolic meaning of these holy objects is greater than their practical significance.

They are neither made of extraordinary properties nor have too many powerful functions. They exist in the sect simply because they are the personal belongings of the Eternal Blazing Sun and have special meanings.

Theoretically, after the Eternal Blazing Sun disappears, the power exerted by any holy relic of any sect will be greater than theirs.

"You should know their functions even without me telling you. I don't know what kind of power they contain, or if there's anything worth pursuing."

"However, you should know that the holy clothes and the ladder represent my God himself. Perhaps Judd believes that finding the holy clothes and the ladder means finding my God?"

"Or... he just wants to leave hope for the world, or for the church?"

As the last subordinate god of the Eternal Blazing Sun Sect, his death was a huge blow to the Five Gods Sect.

Before he left, it seemed like a good idea to find a reason for the Five Gods Sect to continue fighting for.

Facing Niber Ross's speculation, Ciel was silent for a moment before shaking his head. "Judd used the last of his strength to rip out his own extraordinary properties. After restoring its essence as a holy relic, he used its power to create his own family."

Strictly speaking, the Krolov family was indeed "created", at least the extraordinary blood flowing in their bodies was created.

"His family doesn't belong to the church, nor does it limit itself to any particular faith. This family has only one mission after birth, and that is to find the holy garment and the ladder at all costs."

"If he wasn't a specially created target to attract attention, then maybe he really discovered something."

"Burning everything in oneself can illuminate a bright future..." murmured Nibel Ross. This is the power possessed by the high priest and the follower of God who studied the power of "hope" in the Eternal Blazing Sun Sect.

From this perspective, perhaps the other party really saw a bright future for him and the church.

"Speaking of which... If you're still confused about his affairs, why not just ask him directly?"

"Theoretically, if I can appear here, or be awakened by the owner of this place, he should be able to do it too."

Pandora is a half-true god, and Judd is Sequence 2. Coupled with the special nature of the Valley of Existence, there is a great probability that Pandora will be able to summon Judd's existence like she is now.

"Every transcendent above Sequence 2 has a chance of having their own existence taken away. After all, as a trace of one's own existence, it still holds great significance to the individual."

"Also... Pandora is most likely unable to summon him. His passing was a complete fall, leaving nothing behind."

This is what Charles saw, or rather perceived, after his power of destiny was strengthened.

"Burned everything? Compared to him, my awareness is weaker..." Nibel Ross smiled and shook his head.

Charles wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Niber Ross looked at Ciel's appearance at this moment and smiled before speaking first, "As a trace of Niber Ross's existence, I have all his memories and emotions, but I am not him."

"You know, I have no soul."

"So... Rocks, don't harbor any other feelings for me."

"Just tell me anything you want to say."

Charles's expression grew depressed.

What I know...

I knew it from the beginning.

But even so, I don't want this kind of thing to be put forward directly.

After all, the Nibel Ross in front of him was the same as the Nibel Ross in his memory, or in other words, he was the Nibel Ross in Charles' memory.

The moment he saw him, a strange idea suddenly came to Charles' mind.

If only I could stay here longer...

Many of his friends can be seen in the Valley of Existence.

Perhaps without Pandora's power, he would not be able to maintain communication with them, or even awaken or be perceived by them.

But sometimes, just being able to vaguely see the other person, or sensing their presence, is a kind of happiness.

Nibel Ross probably saw this, which is why he said this to Ciel. "Don't feel sorry for me, or for us. Although we're gone, none of us has ever regretted our choices."

"But... it's really nice to see you at this time..."

Nibel Ross couldn't find words to describe his feelings at the moment, so he changed the subject and asked, "Rocks, do you remember what I told you before?"

"Now... do you have an answer?"

What we said before?

Charles looked a little dazed, as if he had returned to a long time ago.

"You are so unmotivated! You are different from the other people in the church." Nibel Ross often teased Charles like this after they became friends.

After all, he had already become a high-level transcendent at that time, and was very close to the "retirement goal" he set for himself.

"What's the difference? I'm just more calm and composed than them." Charles glanced at the other party and said in a Buddhist manner.

"That's not the case at all. I always feel like you lack a certain kind of faith, or that your heart is always confused."

"It's like a person who doesn't know what to choose at a crossroads in life." Nibel Ross patted Charles' shoulder and looked at him seriously.

"A fork in the road? That's quite an apt description..." Charles slapped Nibel Ross's hand away in disgust, revealing a look of loss.

Although he had been in the Five Gods Era for a long time and had gained great power and status from it, he still had a strong nostalgia for his past.

Especially after he knew about Noah's existence.

He believes this is no coincidence.

Perhaps deep in the blue sky, there is a place that cannot be seen from the planet under your feet. There, unlike here, there are countless planets.

Among the countless planets, there is a blue and beautiful place.

In that place, I have my own home and everything I care about.

He was indeed standing at a crossroads. On the one hand, he could not let go of his past, and on the other hand, he could not let go of his present.

He wanted to find the mysterious Noah and try to get everything from him, but he was afraid of getting an answer that would disappoint him. He even didn't know what he would do after getting that answer.

Although he hid it well, the confusion in his heart was still discovered by Nibel Ross.

"I can't see myself clearly..." Facing the other party's worried gaze, Charles was silent for a moment and then said casually.

"Can't you see yourself clearly...can't you find the way forward?" Nibel Ross looked at Charles thoughtfully.

Decades later, he happily found Charles with his work, the Mirror of Self.

Although the Mirror of Self at that time did not grant him any extraordinary characteristics, it only had a portion of his power, but it was still mysterious and extraordinary.

However... it still couldn't help Charles find the way forward and make a choice - opening his heart and revealing all his secrets was a very difficult thing.

Faced with Charles who was hiding something and refusing to cooperate, the existence of the Self-Mirror became awkward.

"I sensed the aura of the Self-Mirror from the little girl next to you. Perhaps it can help you now." Nibel Ross looked at Charles very seriously.

He never forgot this matter until the end of his life. He took his last breath to completely complete the mirror of self, quietly waiting for Charles to visit.

"The extraordinary characteristics are still there... your existence is still there... maybe you still have a chance to survive." Charles did not continue to discuss this issue with him, but looked at him very seriously.

Just a demigod..

As long as he was willing to pay a certain price and use Niber Ross's presence as a guide, then with his current strength, he might have a chance to cross tens of thousands of years of time to find his soul before his death, and then...

“Death is neither terrible nor tragic.”

"Once dead, you are dead. Why would you want to be resurrected?" Nibel Ross shook his head and rejected Charles' suggestion.

There is no cycle between life and death, but there is order.

An order that they adhere to.

Charles never understood this kind of persistence and order. After all, in his opinion, no matter how glorious a person's past and how much persistence he had, everything would disappear when he died.

But he will respect his friends' choices.

"Indeed... after death, one should rest well. Why do you always want to come back to life... You should really let those in the future listen to what you say." He looked at the other person with a smile, but his eyes became a little moist.

He loved their persistence...but hated their stubbornness.

"Just think of it as helping me... okay?" Charles turned his head away from the other person and muttered to himself.

Nibel Ross reached out and straightened Charles' cheek, then looked into his eyes seriously. "Rocks, you are a very good person. I am only a person of the past, so I should not be an obstacle on your way forward."

"Since I can understand some things, I believe you can understand them too."

"I don't know why you appear here, in this era. I don't even know how long it has been since I passed away."

"But I believe that you are still the person I remember."

“Even when faced with hesitation, even when lost, one can still make the best, or most suitable, choice for oneself.”

Nibel Ross's figure began to dissipate.

This was a choice he made on his own initiative.

Even a trace of existence, even if there is no soul.

But he is still himself.

Resurrection is a beautiful word, especially for the dead.

But he didn't want this to happen to him.

Life, with birth and death, can form order.

This is his persistence and an indispensable part of his faith.

"Is your path forward... clear?"

These were his last words before he disappeared.

However, Charles did not answer immediately.

Only after he completely disappeared did a smile slowly appear on Charles' face.

“Although it’s not completely clear yet, I know what I should do, or what I should do.”

"Your broken mirror didn't help me..."

But your presence helped me.

Charles still had a lot to say to the other party.

But after Nibel Ross disappeared, some words seemed to require little narration.

"Although I feel it's not a good idea to show up now, I always feel that if no one disturbs you, you will be in a daze for a long time." When Charles looked ahead for a long time and couldn't let go, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

He turned around and saw Pandora walking towards him in small steps.

"Is there anyone else you want to see?" Pandora tilted her head and looked at Charles.

Ciel was silent for a moment and shook his head.

To be honest, he actually has a lot of friends in his heart that he wants to meet.

But Nieber Ross's choice made him understand some things.

So...he alone is enough.

"Can your power summon people from the era before the emergence of supernatural characteristics?" After a moment, after calming down, Charles suddenly thought of something and asked.

"The era before?" Pandora thought carefully.

She is a deity that has existed for a long time, but has not experienced many eras. Strictly speaking, she appeared and grew up with the Five Gods.

"I haven't tried it, but it should be possible." Pandora slowly put her hands together, and then a man covered in blood with dozens of feathers stuck in his back appeared in front of Charles.

"This is someone who believed in other gods before the Five Gods appeared."

There were other gods before the Five Gods, like Mernade's friend Little Green.

They do not care about the existence of life and intelligent creatures. They only regard people of the same level as themselves as people with whom they can communicate.

However, because their power is too great, they can unintentionally destroy many lives, but unintentionally... they can also create many lives.

The origins of some extraordinary races in the world at this time come from them.
