Huh? Are they all real?...

He was amazed that he hadn't gone crazy because of it.

But I never expected that even when I was about to commit suicide, they would still be like this.

"Aren't you afraid? Can you really accept being stuck talking to only the two people on the other side forever?"

Faced with these three shadows that had tormented him his entire life, he no longer possessed the composure he had when facing the old lion.

To this, all three shadows said:

"Of course not."

"They're both so stupid, I can't stand them."

"I can't accept my ex who always felt like they were detached from the same cause of death."

"Then why aren't you afraid?"

The man was utterly devastated. If that was the case, why wasn't he afraid of his threats?

The three shadows said in unison:

"You don't have the guts to commit suicide!"

The man choked.

"You're nothing but a coward."

"I'm sure it's a poison that can kill a demigod, but I'm also sure you don't have the guts to drink it."

"How could a coward who hasn't committed suicide after being tormented by the three of us for so long suddenly come to his senses?"

After the three shadows finished speaking, they burst into laughter again:

"Next time, I suggest you find a spirit walker to hypnotize yourself first, so we might actually get scared."

"Yes."

"Agree!"

The man dejectedly put down the poison.

Tell me, what is it?

The shadow that had already walked in front of the man stroked its chin and said:

“It’s nothing, it’s just that a prophetic stone tablet I left behind gave the prophecy that ‘He has returned.’ Ah, it must have been a divination by a Sequence 5 prophet.”

The man ignored the shadow's next sentence: it didn't matter whether it was Sequence Five or not; what mattered was that it was the stone tablet He left behind!

Has He returned?

And since it's related to shadows, and it's His word.

The man said in astonishment:

"You mean a firstborn son has returned?!"

Before the shadow could speak further, the man said with increasing terror:

"Although your status is extremely noble, you are still just a shadow. Yet you can still sense it."

"That stone tablet was used in Baratheon?!"

"Is a returning firstborn son nearby?"

"You're only telling me now that this is such a big thing?"

Do you really want me dead?

The man was on the verge of a breakdown. "My eldest son is right here beside me, and you're only telling me this now?"

"Why are you so agitated? Are you so afraid just because you found your eldest son by your side?"

"Am I not the eldest son too?"

"You are just the eldest son's shadow, you are just a piece of trash. What can you do besides torment me?"

The man understood the old lion's feelings, and he actually laughed in anger.

You, a remnant of the old era, have the nerve to call yourself the eldest son?

"Hahaha."

The shadow wasn't angry; it just laughed even more mockingly.

Another shadow laughed:

"So, are you going to give up? Give up the thirteen years you've spent in Baratheon?"

The last figure, seemingly eager to stir up trouble, said:

"Run, run. Run with your tail between your legs. I told you, you have no right to come near us."

Amid their mockery.

The man's face was also contorting wildly.

He wanted to run away; the eldest son wasn't joking. Heaven knows why the eldest son was so silent.

But if he runs away, all of my thirteen years of planning will be in vain, which is secondary.

What he really couldn't accept was that if he just ran away, it would prove that he really wasn't qualified to get close to them.

He couldn't accept this, and this was the only thing he had to deny.

Approaching them, and then surpassing them, that was his only reason for living.

For a long time, he had believed they were a gift.

But fear also followed him like a shadow.

Once you're dead, you really have nothing left!

In a tremendous psychological struggle.

He took out a stone slab.

Upon seeing another shadow of the stone slab, he immediately burst into laughter:

"This is my stone slab, hahaha, you've been living off our charity all this time, yet you still have the audacity to think you can surpass us!"

But then the man began to prophesy.

The shadow fell silent.

It sensed that something was wrong.

But now it's just a shadow.

In the past, it would have been able to immediately detect where the problem was.

Strange, what exactly is wrong?

Finally, it found the 'answer'!

As dust settles on the stone slab, ancient texts and instructions emerge.

The return of December is a grand stage for the Supreme Beings.

Jesters and clowns also gathered together.

Let's put on a show, let's sing together.

Please keep your eyes open and stay tuned.

Because even the smallest thing can be transformed into the highest being!

The moment I saw this prophecy.

The man laughed, a maniacal laugh.

Even the smallest thing can be transformed into the highest being!

He's been waiting!

The three shadows beside him also looked at the prophecy in silence.

He laughed even more wildly in response.

"You didn't expect that, did you? You didn't expect that!"

"This is my stage, this is my stage!"

"Stay tuned! Stay tuned!"

"This is my era, my stage! Hahahaha!"

Amid the man's maniacal laughter, all three shadows simultaneously thought:

So that's what "the return of December" means!

So, does this mean the new divine path has fallen?

But why is there no movement at all?

Chapter 33 The First Step to Godhood!

At the Baratheon Observatory.

Moen is waiting in line to use it.

Stargazing was once the exclusive domain of the nobility, and commoners were even forbidden from looking up at the stars.

This was partly because the nobles wanted to assert their power and distinction.

But if we trace it back to its origins, we find that the prohibition against civilians looking up at the stars was for protection!

The starry sky in this world is not the real starry sky.

In the distant ancient times, gazing at the stars would pollute the sky.

It was the Eternal King who sacrificed his life to reclaim the starry sky for mortals!

However, even after the death of the Eternal King, mortals were still not allowed to look up at the stars, because the nobles monopolized this privilege.

This aroused discontent among mortals, and in the end, the starry sky, which the king had mercifully gifted to the mortals, was reclaimed from the nobles by the mortals through unity.

These stories have been passed down by many bards to this day.

In commemoration of the Eternal King's benevolence, even observatories in human territories are specially constructed in an elven style.

Therefore, Baratheon Observatory is beloved by couples in love and parents with children because of its unique artistic achievements in the city.

The former appreciates the beauty of the place, while the latter wants to broaden the child's horizons.

Therefore, even though this place is far from the city center, Moen still has to wait in line for a long time.

As for using his meritorious status to cut in line, Moen gave up on that idea.

There's no rush this time.

Let's show some respect to those who are queuing.

However, Moen was still taken aback by the enthusiasm of the people.

It took him almost two hours just to queue up to get into the observatory.

This made Moen look around at the elven-style buildings with suspicion.

This thing isn't even that good-looking!

This is just the style of elves as perceived by humans. Ordinary people would not easily see the difference, but Moen, who had lived in the Sacred Tree Forest for a long time, knew that it was just a copy.

So Moen really didn't think it was that beautiful, and couldn't understand why so many couples would come all this way for nothing.

However, Moen remembered that after his death, the elves abandoned old cultural practices such as writing and language in his memory.

Architectural aesthetics were likely abandoned during that period, and a new art style was adopted, much like the introduction of a new writing system.

Perhaps, in today's world, Moen's perception of the elven style is actually incorrect.

Fortunately, the only inconvenience was queuing. Once inside the observatory, there were hardly any people, whether it was the central observatory or the top-level observatory tower.

The majority of couples were drawn to the elfin aesthetics of the place.

They weren't very interested in stargazing. That requires too much expertise.
