Chapter 1633: Chapter 53: The Supreme Sun Mermaid and the Guiltless Man (18)

Kasadia—While waging a tug-of-war with the World Tree, he shaped the entrance of a radiant deity and established such a lie in front of all humanity to pave the way for the emergence of "Genesis" in the Second Epoch, thus marking the most pivotal, profound, and lethal prelude to the human counterattack.

If at this moment, he had not proclaimed it to all humanity, the concept of "Genesis" would not have emerged so swiftly.

"Genesis" was indeed brought to Luowasha by Sique, this is undeniable, but Kasadia was also the crucial driving force behind it. After being transformed by the Second Seat, he continuously pondered the information revealed by the Second Seat’s few words, quickly deducing the importance of the Second Seat’s authority of "Genesis," identifying it as a magical power transcending bloodlines and class, realizing it was the only way for humanity to stage a comeback. He must convey this concept to all humanity!

It was precisely his lie standing before the entire world at this moment that allowed the concept of "Genesis" to silently take root and germinate at the dawn of creation, integrating into the World Rules, until the Second Epoch fully sprouted, becoming the strongest weapon of the weak races.

And this immense lie, spanning two great civilizations, countless eras, millions of reincarnations, billions of lives—only four people know the truth.

Su Ming’an, Hui Bai, Antetolia, Kasadia himself.

Hui Bai gazed into the direction where the light spots dissipated, murmuring lowly: "To construct hope with lies, to mask compassion with joy... Kasadia, is this the path you have chosen? To take all blame upon yourself while secretly planting the most rebellious, most equal fireseed for the New World..."

Initially, the Radiant Mother God was just one of Kasadia’s lies, a mere shell. But later, as more and more people believed, she gradually became a true deity, slowly detaching from Kasadia’s vest, gaining her own thoughts.

In the future, Kasadia granted her autonomy.

But for now, the Radiant Mother God is only one of Kasadia’s vests.

That radiant and majestic "Radiant Mother God," the deity spreading hope and new paths, is really nothing more than a twisted being in the glow, resorting to deceiving the world to survive, presently locked in a difficult tug-of-war with the World Tree’s consciousness... a second-dimension artist afraid of pain.

He borrowed the name and likeness of the future Radiant Mother God, sowing a path belonging to "Creation" and "Faith."

He needed Faith, a massive energy of belief to win the tug-of-war.

And the sacrifice he sought was neither cattle or sheep nor gold or jewels, but—humanity’s firm belief in the idea that "even mortals could surpass bloodlines through creativity and pen and ink"! It was a call to worship this "God of Joy and Lies"!

When enough people believe this, and their belief flows like a river, one day, the rule of "Genesis" will truly be accepted by the world, becoming an axiom of this nascent world.

And Kasadia will take this opportunity to ascend to godhood, stabilizing his existence.

This was an earth-shaking lie that completely bound his existence with the fate of the New World’s weak...

To allow countless weak races, endlessly bullied, in the far future, to look forward to it in despair, bravely picking up the pen in battle, swords pointing at oppression and fear.

They will not know that every hopeful call to the "Radiant Mother God," every firm belief in the path of "Creation," every curse directed at the "human traitor" Kasadia, is providing the fireseed for the continuation of the "Shitposter Demon"...

Hope and despair, redemption and curse, have become a tragic closed loop.

Revere the Saint "Radiant Mother God."

Hate the Sinner "Kasadia."

"Sinner."

Or "Saint"?

...

——You can only choose one.

But can also be both.

...

Outside the porthole, the false and deceptive deity stands lofty at the planet’s peak, delivering a generous speech to all humanity:

"And the one who spreads hope, wields flames, brings hope, and guides this notion of ’Genesis’—"

And the one who spreads joy, wields lies, weaves falsehood, and guides this notion of ’Genesis’—

...

"——Is the God of Radiance and Hope, Kritchens!"

——Is the God of Joy and Lies, Kasadia! 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

...

"Kritchens is the dominator of this path!"

——Kasadia is the dominator of this path!

...

"Kritchens is the god of birth, sun, and flames!"

——Kasadia is the god of joy, mischief, and lies!

...

"Pray to him! Call upon him! Your faith is the best offering to him, also the cornerstone for you to pioneer the future!"

——Pray to him! Call upon him! Your faith is the best offering to him, also the cornerstone for you to pioneer the future!

...

In a trance, Su Ming’an seemed to see beneath the sacred and radiant body of the Mother God, was the tearful face of a young man, as fragile as glass, as gentle as porcelain.

He, smiling with tears, shouts, as if he is looking back at this world:

"Please praise my name!"

"Offer me your sacrifices!"

"Praise me!"

"Write my glorious name! Forge the holy emblem for me! Ignite the divine flame for me! Choose believers for me!"

"Offer me your—most sincere, purest, and happiest fervor for eternity!"

...

...

"Pah—!"

As the voice fell, the towering divine silhouette suddenly dispersed, turning into countless light spots, like a warm golden drizzle, showering every corner of the New World.

Hui Bai raised his head, gently sighing.

Ludwig extended his hand, catching the scattered light points.

Ran Bo wiped his dirty glasses, silently reciting scientific laws, reminding himself not to forget them.

Mu Changying, holding a long spear, looked to the horizon, seeming to want to see where the sunlight ends.

An uninformed Blake, touching the newly grown dragon horns, looked puzzled: "Could Su Qing’s prophecy be real? Hey, I’ve really grown dragon horns, won’t I really turn into a big golden dragon later?"

Rock, seeing the demon horns in the mirror, suddenly laughed: "I used to be a diligent detective, never touching alcohol for fear of client complaints... Now, everything is about to end, according to Su Qing, should I taste the flavor of alcohol?"

The planetary ripples did not stop there.

After the form of the Radiant Mother God dissipated, the remaining brilliance converged towards the firmament like rivers into the sea. Her form gradually elongated and deformed, until finally—

"Buzz--!"

A sound reminiscent of the Universe’s primordial buzz resounded.

The firmament, once featuring only a cold moon, suddenly ushered in a "Sun"!

Amidst countless people’s faith, the image of the "Radiant Mother God" soared above the firmament, transforming into a dazzling Red Sun, standing side by side with the cold moon—this marked the beginning of Her slow transition from mere deception to genuine existence.

Sun and Moon sharing the sky, shining through eternity—this mythical scenario heralds the arrival of a new epoch.

Inside the Ark, countless people gazed in stupefaction at the newborn sun outside the porthole, complex emotions swirling within their chests. Under Hui Bai and others’ broadcasts, they gradually came to believe in the existence of the Radiant Mother God, in Her being a benevolent Deity. Yet some maintained Rationality and disbelief, even proclaiming conspiracy theories, claiming it was the upper echelons shifting blame through intrigue.

No matter the case, some were praying.

They prayed for the "Genesis" path promised by "Kritchens," the illustrious Deity, to soon reveal itself, praying that in the forthcoming World, they and their loved ones could protect themselves.

That Sun... so dazzling.

.....

[Aboard a small spacecraft, Su Ming’an and the exploration team arrived at the Splendid Star.]

[The cabin door opened, a wave of air mixed with exotic floral scents and sulfur smell surged in. Only one moon hung in the sky—even at this time, Luowasha yet had a Sun.]

.....

At this moment, here, Sun and Moon coexist.

The new Sun, constructed by the lie of a youth deceiving the World.

.....

Su Ming’an, at the 27th-floor Oceanarium, found Su Liujin feverishly tucked in a corner.

With the radiance of dawn overhead, people were looking out the porthole. The white-haired boy lay in the corner, his breathing scorching. Su Ming’an examined Su Liujin’s pulse, frighteningly weak.

"Su Liujin, what happened? Were you affected by the Species Transformation?" Su Ming’an probed but found... no traits of the Jellyfish on Su Liujin.

Su Liujin was still human; he hadn’t become a Jellyfish. Yet everyone underwent Species Transformation, why was Su Liujin the exception?

"It’s nothing... The Great Emperor felt suffocated and went outside for a walk, ended up encountering a group of researchers, hurried here and fainted..." Su Liujin coughed, "Sorry, I didn’t wander intentionally... I couldn’t walk back..."

He gazed outside the porthole, murmuring:

"How beautiful, the Sun, Luowasha initially was so beautiful."

Su Ming’an looked out.

The Sun resembled a fiery wheel, hung atop the Splendid Star’s vault, flowing gentle milky white and iridescence. The light penetrated the thick porthole, falling upon Su Liujin’s pale face, skimming a fever-induced unnatural flush on his cheeks, eyes like terrifyingly bright Amber collecting sunlight.

Su Liujin weakly extended his hand, futilely trying to grasp a strand of light through the glass, "So... this is how sunlight feels. In the Life Support Pod... there was only cold simulated light... The real Sun... feels like this..."

This Sun, birthed from Kasadia’s earth-shattering deceit, bore such tangible brilliance—it could deceive nearly all sentient beings on this Earth, even soothing a seriously ill boy’s Dreamscape.

So beautifully... cruel.

"Yeah." Su Ming’an nodded,

"It’s very beautiful."

Indeed, it’s beautiful.

This hope, this sunlight, all future possibilities—built upon one individual’s Eternal solitude and the collective oblivion of an entire Race.

"Su Liujin, I thought of a possibility..." Su Ming’an wiped the dust off Su Liujin’s face, "Perhaps, the cost of waking you isn’t waiting for your body to recover, but rather severely harming or even killing a Key Figure."

"You mean..." Sunlit, Su Liujin slowly looked over.

"The one who immersed you in Dreamscape, he should also have a role within this Ark." Su Ming’an palmed, "Killing him in the dream would mean inflicting harm on the Dream Maker, the Dream Maker’s consciousness will violently fluctuate, perhaps you can break the Dreamscape and wake up."

"Do you have an object of suspicion?"

"..." Su Ming’an stayed silent for a moment, softly uttered, "The only one concurrently existing in external reality and Dreamscape."

Perlo.

In the external world, he’s the Demon by World Master’s Heir’s side; in the Dreamscape, he’s Player leaderboard Rock. Only he exists both inside and outside the dream.

Su Ming’an and Su Rin verified that this answer is likely correct.

.....

[We are about to begin an epic battle.] The mirror reflected in writing:

[Don’t be a chicken, Parso Liujin brings courage.]

.....

Su Ming’an took out the Vitality Agent, injecting it into Su Liujin. Su Liujin’s complexion didn’t significantly improve but remained functional.

Su Ming’an queried Perlo’s location through Light Brain, discovering Perlo had already followed Hui Bai and others to the Splendid Star.

"What are they going there for? Aren’t they staying to stabilize the big picture?" Su Liujin pondered.

"They’re going to negotiate with Yijulai’er." Su Ming’an quickly figured.

"Then we..." Su Liujin glanced at the vast Universe beyond the porthole, profundity boundless, suffocating. He paused, seemingly contemplating, soon smiling, "Lighthouse Sect Leader, seems we must embark on a glorious Cosmic Journey now. The Great Emperor’s quest will begin in the starry sea!"

"Your body..."

"No problem." Su Liujin blinked, waving his fist, "I am still in a human form now, highly likely because I haven’t truly set foot on that planet. Once we go past, I’ll become a real Lighthouse Jellyfish, no need to worry about weakness anymore."

They returned to the room, knowing they wouldn’t return. With Su Ming’an’s reminder, Su Liujin grabbed his sparse belongings—World Game memorabilia of Su Ming’an’s photo, "Little Star" piano sheet music, half a cake crated from prior, previously written tale of Brave and Cannibal Flower.

His luggage felt pathetically insubstantial, akin to his still pale life.

"Let’s go." Su Liujin strapped the small luggage, pointed toward the starry sea, "Sect Leader, let’s set off!"

.....

Elsewhere.

Hui Bai, Ludwig, Mu Changying, Blake, Ran Bo, Rock, Mao Lian—the human pioneers descended beneath the World Tree.

Yijulai’er silently stood under the World Tree, pastel coral gown gleaming subtly, eyes reflecting eons of isolation, akin to a dignified Goddess.

"Miss Yijulai’er, dust settles. Us, along with all Survivors within the Ark, already became the emergent Race on this land." Ludwig spoke, his voice gentle as jade:

"We grasp it’s Kasadia’s ’betrayal’ that rendered your plans void. You have reasons for anger; we possess countless reasons to harbor Hatred towards you—for the lives perished across this calamity, personally as Ludwig, I wish for Revenge, to have you compensate equally for vow betrayal."

Yijulai’er’s gaze shifted minutely, lifting the Ice Crystal Long Sword.

Mu Changying promptly raised a long spear, aimed at Yijulai’er.

"Yet." Ludwig continued, "The message Su Ming... Su Qing relayed informed us, you bestowed upon us a chance for reversal; you might also hope a billion lives won’t perish here. This isn’t our basis for absolving you, but as those responsible for the living, as Rulers, we must act reasonably, we deeply understand Hatred is the shortest path to Destruction, turning the genesis of two groups into mutually destructive Hatred is meaningless. To afford many the opportunity to witness the next sunrise, in waiting for the true Savior, we must refuse the allure of Revenge, also request you... to restrain animosity."
