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

But he never thought that the only Creator had chosen death himself.

If He also passed away, then many of my previous speculations would have to be disrupted and started over again.

wrong...

With his abilities, many things can be done even if he is dead.

Just like the five righteous gods, as long as they are not replaced, they can come back.

"Is He also in the Sea of ​​Death, or the world after death?" Charles asked Pandora in a low voice.

"Maybe?" Pandora pulled her hair and gave a complicated smile.

"Perhaps there you can meet my father, the only Creator who has not yet become my father."

"His concept of time is different from ours. Although he passed away a long, long time ago, at this point in time, we may be able to see our past selves."

Although it was a bit difficult to understand, Charles could understand what Pandora meant.

For the One Creator, the future can be His past, and the past can be His future.

They would meet each other now, without conflicting with the time in the past that had already passed.

"You are planning to visit the world after death, right?" Pandora looked at Charles and asked seriously.

Ciel nodded seriously, "Yes, I want to go there to find some answers."

"If possible, I hope you will give up this idea."

"In other words, if possible, I hope you can make up for your own shortcomings and embrace the extraordinary characteristics of the righteous gods before going there."

"That way, no matter what danger there is, it won't cause you any harm."

As a world born from the dark side of the sole creator, nothing is surprising when it happens there.

It was even possible that Charles would meet the only Creator there at some point in the past, who indulged himself and vented the darkness in his heart.

Although his current power is very strong, it is comparable to that of an ordinary true god.

With such power, it would be very easy for the sole creator to kill him.

It's not like killing a bug, but it's almost the same as killing a mouse.

but...

If he becomes a true god.

Then it would be very difficult for the only creator to kill him.

Even the omnipotent and only Creator, after exhausting all his resources, could only create five such powerful beings.

And they died not long after they were created.

From a certain perspective, the five gods plus Pandora can be equated with the only creator... maybe with the addition of Charles?

"Then I won't be able to see the goddess of the sea." Charles smiled slightly and then his expression became extremely determined.

"She must know a lot of things. I have a lot of confusion and want to seek her help."

If possible, Charles would like to persuade her to return to this world.

Maybe you will feel reluctant, maybe you will regret it in the future.

But no matter how many times he chooses, compared to the power that can make him a true god, Charles hopes that the former goddess of the sea will return again.

"Actually...Nia's test is not as simple as you think..." Charles's determined expression moved Pandora a little, and then she whispered.

Compared to the God of War and Glory's victory over his divine body, or the unknown test of the Eternal Blazing Sun.

The test from the Sea Goddess was so simple that Ciel passed it without even noticing.

But if it were someone else...perhaps the tests in the Temple of War and the Center of the Sun would be easier to pass.

"I... am the high priest of the Church of the Earth after all..." Charles stood up and smiled carefreely.

"...I wish you success." Pandora said with her head lowered.

Charles nodded, then turned around and prepared to leave.

Looking at his back, Pandora suddenly shouted:

"If you meet your father, don't resist him no matter what he does to you."

"My father's personality is the type that gets more excited the more you resist him."

"If you do what he says, he will quickly lose interest in you."

"I don't know if that dark father of mine was like this, but in my memory, he could sometimes be very bad."

"At that time, his performance was just as I said."

Ciel nodded, his expression somewhat bitter.

Pandora's words were helpful to Ciel.

But it didn't help much.

After all, the three words "don't resist" sound simple, but are very difficult to do.

Especially for Ciel.

Besides, even if it wasn't Charles, but someone else who met the One and Only Creator there, who could truly not resist when he wanted to kill them?

Even if they did, with the power of the only creator, even if only a small part of it was exerted, it would be enough to crush them to death and make it impossible for them to be resurrected.

Charles twirled his hair and then stopped thinking about Pandora's words. He began to concentrate on following the traces of the Island of Jevers, looking for the route of Noah's Ark.

Originally, he thought that this would be very difficult. After all, as a true god, if Noah noticed his actions, he could interfere with and block Charles with his ability.

But contrary to Charles's expectations, Noah did not interfere with Charles' power.

On the contrary, he seemed to be cooperating with Charles to converge his energy, allowing Charles to more clearly detect where he was.

Not only that, it seems that Noah had been doing something similar a long time ago.

The traces of Noah's Ark's movement are difficult to detect in the main world.

But when a person's vision is able to look across the entire world at a higher angle, he will see that the stars where the main world is located are surrounded by a large nebula.

By continuously raising one's perspective and shrinking the main world and everything around it, people will see a planet surrounded by countless stars and a "road" connecting this dense nebula.

Countless stars follow a certain trajectory and rush towards the planet where the main world is located. When they reach the planet where the main world is located, they will spontaneously surround it.

Charles could feel that each planet surrounding the main world contained a special power.

A curse? Hatred? Or perhaps some dark energy he didn't understand.

In a quick glance, he saw many strange powers, many of which surpassed the star representing the curse of greed that Charles had fallen into the main world.

"Let me see how terrifying the so-called afterlife is, and how terrifying the first true god of mankind after the Five Gods is."

Charles was not frightened by the scene. His figure slowly connected to the shadow world. Under the power of the shadow, almost in an instant, his figure appeared at the starting point where countless stars were released.

It was an extremely large and strange area that could almost cover an entire galaxy.

At the edge of that zone, Charles could see countless streams of light rapidly pouring into that world, and then one by one, ominous planets slowly overflowed from there and slowly headed towards the planet where the main world was.

Charles frowned and then created several clones, but as soon as the clones stepped in, he lost contact with them.

The clone did not die, it just disappeared.

However, this feeling of disappearance and nothingness made Charles feel even more uncomfortable than the death of his clone.

Do you want to rush in?

Ciel, standing at the edge, thought seriously.

He soon changed his mind.

Now that he has come here and made up his mind, how could he retreat so easily?

If the only creator was standing here, then there is no doubt that he would turn around and run away without hesitation.

But this place... is just a creation of his power.

With this conviction in mind, Charles took a step into this strange area. At the same time, his feet disappeared from his senses.

It was like a clone, disappearing completely, as if it had never existed.

A boundless fear enveloped his heart, but he did not hesitate and quickly entered that strange world.

When his body completely entered that world.

In this world, everything about him seemed to have disappeared.

Except for Mernade and Sif, the whole world seemed to have never forgotten the existence of Charles.

At the same time, if there are still people like Charles who are high-handed and keep raising their sights to observe the stars outside the planets of the main world, they will not see a wrapped nebula and a strange "road".

They will only see countless ordinary planets, some with their own rules, some floating randomly in all places in the universe.

here it is...

After stepping into that unknown place, Charles felt his eyes go dark and he lost consciousness.

After regaining consciousness, his eyes looked around.

At this moment, he was lying on the beach, and around him was an ocean, a black ocean.

His eyes quickly swept across the island, a place he was more familiar with.

The Island of Jevers, the Noah's Ark that once sealed the Black Fire.

But at this time there is a lot of life on this island.

Most of them are at the demigod level.

There were even some auras that Charles was familiar with.

Peroz's guide, Captain Finx of the Black Flag; Finx's long-deceased son and the crew members who died here; Barbossa, the enemy Peroz and his companions met on the Jevils Road; even Charles saw Antonite, who was about to become the Pure White God but failed because of Barbossa... and the Pure White God who sealed the Black Fire was also there.

At this time, the island of Yevils is full of people.

They were holding hands and singing and dancing around a bonfire, as if they were performing some ancient ceremony.

Charles did not disturb them, but instead focused his attention on the ocean in front of him.

He slowly squatted down and placed his hands in the ocean.

The dark sea water slowly flowed down his arms and wrapped around his entire body.

Then, Charles felt a sense of suffocation that he hadn't felt in a long time.

In a trance, he had a feeling that if he was always surrounded by sea water, he would die from drowning.

It's ridiculous, but it could actually happen.

But Charles did not retreat, and even slowly controlled his body to walk towards the sea.

When the black sea water completely submerged his head, a sigh sounded in his ears.

"Why do you come to this place?" The voice of the sea goddess appeared in Charles' ears.

"In order to find the truth, and also to invite you back to that world." Charles said seriously.

The Ocean Goddess fell silent. Then, Charles' body continued to sink.

Until his feet touched the seabed, the goddess of the sea appeared again before his eyes.

But the one who appeared this time was very different from the sea goddess that Charles had in mind.

An extremely black skirt and a body surrounded by an endless aura of death.

The person standing in front of him at this moment was more like a god of death or a devil than a goddess of the sea.

At her feet, countless bones were piled up. Following the traces of these bones, Charles looked at his feet.

Only then did he realize that he might not be standing on the bottom of the sea, but in a terrifying place piled with countless bones.

"There's no going back..." The sea goddess slowly walked towards Charles.

"Even if I could go back, I wouldn't choose to go back."

Her figure appeared in front of Charles.

"Why?" Charles was a little confused.

"After I die, I will have been polluted and assimilated by this world. Even if I return to that world, this pollution and assimilation will slowly corrode my body and decay my soul."
