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

At this time, she didn't know the relationship between abundance and herself, nor did she know what existed inside.

But she could feel the importance Charles attached to that place.

If Charles really had no way to get in there, then she could go in and explore on her own.

It might be a little dangerous, but if it could help her brother, Mernadè was willing to take this unknown risk.

"I'll adjust my mood." Charles didn't say much, but just picked up the storybook and read the story carefully.

After a moment, he adjusted himself and read the story from the Holy Book to everyone with emotion.

This time he put his hand on the stone door and pushed it lightly, and the door was pushed open.

Although he likes a luxurious life and enjoys enjoying himself, Charles actually abides by and agrees with the teachings of the Church of the Earth.

Although the stories in the Holy Book are childish, the principles they contain should be remembered and followed.

Therefore, for Charles, as long as he adjusted his mindset, he could complete this simple ritual and obtain the key to abundance.

"It's your turn, Sif." Although he pushed the door open, Charles did not go in immediately. Instead, he turned around and said to Sif.

"Do I have to do this too?" Sif's face couldn't help but fall.

It's very interesting to watch the two of them reading stories to the field, but it's a bit shameful to do it yourself.

"That's what you need to do if you want to come in with us. If you want to stay here and wait for us, that's not necessary," Ciel said calmly.

Sif looked at the two of them with a bitter face, and after hesitating for a long time, she decided to try to go in with them.

Watching Sif reading the story nervously, Charles couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.

Maybe the current Mernadette has no way to directly open the Room of Plenty, but the current Sif definitely has this ability.

After all, she was the goddess of night in the past. Although she has not fully liberated her power, based on how active Diana is in her body, it is very easy for her to open the door to abundance.

But considering that he and Mernadette both did such things, if Sif didn't do the same, wouldn't it seem a bit out of place?

This kind of thing should be done together so that there is no shame~

After finishing reading the storybook, Sif walked to the stone door, stretched out her hand hesitantly, and pushed it gently. As Charles expected, the door was easily pushed open.

Then, Charles, Mernade and Sif's hands stepped into the stone gate together.

Compared with the abundance between the moon, it seems a bit simple.

The somewhat outdated khaki-colored decoration style, coupled with the crops that can be seen everywhere in the house, always makes people feel that this place is not so much the residence of a goddess, but more like a crop research base.

"This place... feels so weird." Sif looked around with a subtle expression.

"What's strange?" Charles asked.

"I always feel that this place has nothing in common with my aesthetic taste, but unexpectedly I don't hate it. I even like it a little bit." As she spoke, Sif moved the bonsai of wheat next to her feet to a new position.

Looking at the crops around her, Sif felt an urge to do something.

For example, help them move to a new place to make it more pleasing to her, or go to the fruit tree pot over there to get some fruit to eat.

Although they were very ordinary fruits, for some reason, after seeing those ugly fruits above, Sif felt a little greedy.

"Because this is Melnadè's former home and you are her best friend, it is normal for you to like this place." Charles said as he picked an apple from an apple tree that had been alive for who knows how many years.

This apple still tastes the same...

After taking a few bites, Ciel felt a little nostalgic.

Long ago, after he created apples through his own power, an apple tree appeared in the Field of Plenty.

During one of the few times he went to the Plenty, Charles discovered this apple tree. He had always been very curious about whether the apples grown in the Plenty were delicious, but he never had the courage to steal some.

Until one day, Teacher Alford came out from the abundance with an apple in his hand.

After confirming that the apple was picked from the Garden of Plenty, Charles used many methods to finally get the apple from Teacher Alfor.

In fact, the taste is not much different from ordinary apples, but probably because the apple trees are surrounded by snake apples, the apples here smell strongly of snake apples.

When Alford discovered that Charles's goal was the apple, he was really at a loss for words. The next day, he picked several kilograms of apples and other fruits for Charles from the Plenty Garden.

However, Charles' favorite is the apple with the scent of snake fruit, or rather, his favorite is the apple with the scent of snake fruit in the abundance.

It’s a pity that now I have to pick these apples myself and there is no way to ask Teacher Alf for help.

While thinking this, Charles took a few more bites. The apple was still as sour and not sweet at all, but he was no longer the same person.

"Mernadette~ Did you hear that? Rocks said we have been friends for many years, so don't always think about running away at night, let me hug you~" As she spoke, Sif hugged Mernadette from behind and put her hands on her chest, like a female hooligan.

Mernadette blushed and kept struggling, but it was obvious that she couldn't break free from Sif's arms.

Looking at the two people playing and fighting, Charles's originally depressed mood was swept away.

Maybe it's a good thing that I can no longer eat the apples picked by Teacher Alford. At least he won't be able to see me bullying Mernadette, and he won't be so angry that he picks up an axe and chases me to chop her.

"Okay, stop making trouble and keep moving forward." Charles picked a few apples and put them in his pocket, while walking towards the door in front.

"It's so simple... It's completely different from the beautiful garden and palace before..." Sif was referring to the moon that appeared when she woke up.

In the casual conversation after bullying her, Charles briefly mentioned that the Room of Plenty and the Room of the Moon were the previous residences of Mernadè and her.

She thought their residences would be very similar.

But now it seems quite different.

"It's simple and somewhat similar to Mernadette's style, isn't it?" Charles rubbed Sif's head and said with a smile.

Sif nodded.

Although the decoration is different, in terms of style, this place is indeed somewhat similar to several of Mernade's homes.

In other words, apart from the home in Rocks Manor, the style of each room that Mernadé decorated herself is somewhat eerily similar to this place.

Mernadette did not respond to the two of them, her eyes were attracted by everything in the room.

A strange sense of familiarity appeared in her heart, and following this familiarity, she slowly walked forward.

Soon she passed through the living room and entered the boudoir of Mernadè, or the Earth Mother.

There, just like the moon, a deity like Mernadè was leaning on the bed with a smile on her face, her eyes fixed on the direction where Mernadè was, as if she could see her coming and was welcoming her.

When Mernadette wanted to say something, the figure slowly stood up and walked towards her.

She placed her hands on Mernadette's shoulders, but her eyes slowly fell on Charles and Sif behind Mernadette.

When she saw Charles, her gaze was somewhat strange, and when she looked at Sif, there was some surprise in her eyes.

Then she gently hugged Mernadè, and slowly the two of them merged into one.

Mernadette looked at her hands and body in a daze.

Just now she felt that she had gained something, but at the same time she felt that she had gained nothing.

Faintly, a voice seemed to emerge in her heart.

The voice told her that when she needed it, or when it was necessary, she would get help from the earth.

Mernade didn't understand what the earth's help meant, but she became more confident in her heart.

For some reason, she felt a surge of courage or confidence in her heart.

From now on... maybe I won't need to ask my brother to do something for me that he doesn't like to do.

Maybe I will be able to help my brother in the future.

As she thought this, she slowly took Charles' hand.

After Mernadette merged with her body, Charles looked at her very nervously.

At this moment, two completely different hopes appeared in Charles' mind.

One is the hope that Mernadè can recover her power and memory and become the Earth Mother Goddess again.

This way he might be punished by the other party, but he could get a lot of information from her. At the same time, Charles also hoped that the Earth Mother who once brought him hope and salvation would reappear in this world and bring hope and salvation to other people in this world.

But on the other hand, he had a vague hope in his heart that Mernadette would remain as she was, or be the same as Sif before Diana appeared.

The Earth Mother is a deity, and Mernadè is her sister. They are one person, but their meanings to themselves are completely different.

"Mernadette, are you okay?" Charles asked gently.

Mernadette nodded. "Although I feel a little weird, it's probably not a bad thing."

"Do you have any special memories in your mind?" Charles hesitated for a moment and then asked directly.

Mernadette rubbed her head and carefully traced her memory.

"It seems there are some... but many of the memories are very vague..." Mernadette looked a little confused. "I seem to be able to see the memories of many people who look very similar to Sif."

In fact, the only big difference between Diana and Sif is their appearance.

But in Mernade's memory, Diana's image overlaps with Sif's.

Those memories belonged to the Earth Mother of the past, not to Mernadè of the present.

At the same time, Diana was only the goddess of night in the past, and the current goddess of night is Sif.

Under the combined influence of their powers, the memory of Diana in Mernade's mind slowly transformed into the appearance of Sif.

But these are not important memories, just some memories of them getting along and playing together.

At most, these memories made the relationship between the two friends closer, but they no longer had any other function.

"Besides this...is there anything else?" Charles asked nervously.

Mernadette shook her head at first, but soon she seemed to remember something and frowned in thought.

"Living...after death...the destination of the soul..." she said to Charles intermittently.

"The root of everything is...the destination of the soul after death!" She slowly said this sentence in full.

This sentence should be able to solve a lot of Charles' confusion.

But in fact it brought Charles more confusion.

On the first day of becoming a supernatural being, after joining the church, and after becoming a demigod, what Charles always knew was that there was no god of death, no hell or heaven, no reincarnation or world after death in this world.

After death, everything disappears completely. The cycle of life and death is the unchanging order of this world.

But now Mernadette tells Charles that the root of everything is the destination of the soul after death.

This answer made Charles feel very strange.

Is this telling myself that there is a "death world" in this world that is similar to the astral world and the spiritual world?

Or is it that the destination of the soul after death is the world itself, and they choose to die because there is something wrong with the world itself?

Chapter 394: The Order of Life and Death

Charles felt his head was a little confused, and his sight slowly moved away from the abundance to other places.

He watched countless humans, or other creatures, pass away and their souls dissipate.

This was originally a normal thing, but now it seems a little abnormal.

'After a person passes away, their soul dissipates and returns to the heaven and earth, becoming a special energy within the heavens and earth. When new life emerges, this special energy will attach to them. The amount of this special energy attached will vary depending on the species.'

"This energy can be said to be the essence of the soul, or it can represent the lower limit of a species' collective intelligence."

"This was the initial research report. After it became the Truth, I re-examined it and found no other conclusions. After the soul dissipated, it was indeed transformed into this soul energy and closely integrated with the rules of this world."

"That's certainly true, but...why would Mernade, or rather, the Earth Mother, leave behind these words..."

Charles carefully observed the dissipation of each soul, but none of them gave him any strange feeling.

Whether they are humans, animals, extraordinary beings, or subhumans, the dissipation of their souls is no different.

"So... is there something wrong with the world itself?"

Ciel looked at the world with some uncertainty.

Compared to other worlds, this world is indeed very strange and peculiar.

He had never seen or heard of a world with such a pure power level - there were many worlds of order and chaos in the astral and spiritual realms, and the number of intelligent life in those worlds was no less than that of the main world.

This simply means that even the lowest-order extraordinary person in the extraordinary potion sequence has a very high nature and grade of power.

Generally speaking, as a transcendent being, whether it is magic, fighting spirit, or martial arts advancement, it is a process of continuous purification.
