The Mad Truth of Yuanmu Town!

"But the first Experiment still failed."

Gods are gods after all. Even if they are false gods created by binding together their "Divinity," the power of their conflict is something that Mortals cannot withstand.

So Zainjil failed without any surprise.

But he still didn't give up!

He came up with another wildly imaginative plan. This absurd, terrifying, yet fundamentally Faith- based plan finally gave him a glimmer of hope for embracing Divinity!

The content of this plan is as follows:

The most intense and direct confrontation between "Birth" and "Filth and Decay" is shifted to a confrontation of Faith among Mortals!

It is widely known that the gods will protect their Believer.

True gods possess boundless power and are naturally not hindered by the power of protection, but False God are different!

They are ultimately illusory; when their own Divine Majesty is influenced by Faith, the conflict between the two opposing forces of Divinity weakens.

At this point, the conflict between human Faith becomes a buffer against the confrontation of 'False God'!

Having a buffer means having an opportunity to take advantage of the situation!

Thus, when the civil war broke out in the Tower of Reason, Zainjil found a small town near the Abyssal Volcano on the edge of the battlefield, which was very suitable for his Experiment.

And using the [Truth Ritual], the town was moved into the Void!

What, are you surprised? The Yuanmu Town that you see is actually in the Void.

It does not exist in any reality.

[The Truth Ritual] There is Divine Majesty creates Truth, and Truth is always right.

Therefore, they survived in the Void.

Then this mad Scholar launched his first step into this town in the Void:

Establish Faith!

And so, the giant sun rose on the horizon!

[The Eternal Day]...

It has arrived!

"!!!"

Cheng Shi suddenly shivered. He suddenly understood everything and connected all the clues.

The Faith in the sun and moon, the curses, the bards, the "Divine Envoy"—it's all a lie!

This was an Experiment, and what they witnessed was nothing more than some insignificant Experiment steps in this huge Experiment Field!

"Your expression is exaggerated, Cheng Xiaoshi."

That's right, just as you thought. All the inconsistencies you perceive are not because you can't find clues, but because the clues are actually outside the world you live in!

The giant hand of Experiment controls everything, and you can only passively accept it.

They kept residents in captivity and captured travelers.

Let the residents Faith the "Eternal Day," and procreate without ceasing, softening the sharp edge of "Birth";

They also let travelers indulge in pleasure, while the "Divine Envoy" spreads fear, aligning with the will of [Filth and Decay] and weakening His power.

In this way, Zainjil no longer needs to focus on their conflicts; he only needs to ensure that the Faith on both sides of the scale is not too unbalanced, neither allowing too much Faith in "Birth" nor too little Faith in "Filth and Decay"...

No, no, no, he's a genius!

He doesn't even need to worry about his balance!

All it takes is to throw out the two False God, and the townspeople, driven by their survival instincts and confined to the Void, will find a way to balance everything on their own.

If there are too many people, kill them; if there are too few, let them live.

And this great Scholar reaped the benefits without lifting a finger!

This poor "Divine Envoy" tried his whole life, but at best he could only be considered a variable in this great Experiment.

Yes, it's a bit more advanced than a regular variable; it's a variable that manipulates other variables.

Then...

When their arena shifted from direct confrontation to a clash of Faith, these astute Scholar quietly lurked in the shadows, secretly seizing these spilled insights...

Divine Authority!"

This is insane!

Zainjil has gone mad!

This was an absolutely terrifying Experiment, no, perhaps it shouldn't even be called Experiment.

This is an outrageous hoax; this mad Scholar even tried to fool both "Birth" and "Filth and Decay"!

In fact, he has already achieved some success!

Upon hearing this, Cheng Shi finally understood why the High Priest had pardoned all the travelers the next day and restored the rights they had been granted.

That might be because Hu Xuan conceived too many children the night before.

These offspring were conceived through a bestowal ceremony, and they should all be considered unborn Believer of the "Eternal Day".

Therefore, the scales of Faith have become unbalanced.

Unable to find Hu Xuan's people, the "Divine Envoy" could only carry out massacres at night.

When she gave birth to herself, and only to herself, all her descendants who Faith the Eternal Day died.

The previous night's killings once again tipped the scales...

Great Cheng Shi right.

Zainjil didn't need to do anything, because someone did it all for him.

Moreover, this person is just one variable in the Experiment...

Is he?

A question arose in Cheng Shi's mind.

Is this mysterious tour guide, this tormented "Divine Envoy," this High Priest who manipulates everything in the town, someone who originally belonged to this town, or... a "controllable variable" sent in by the Creation Alchemy Department?

It's terrifying to think about.

Cheng Shi dared not imagine whether Zainjil's Experiment would eventually succeed if this line of thinking continued to develop.

Great Cheng Shi saw through Cheng Shi's thoughts and shook his head with a smile.

"Success, no, no, he failed again..."

"Ah?"

Cheng Shi was stunned. He looked at Great Cheng Shi, then turned back to look at the huge, upside-down corpse, and blinked blankly.

You mean...?

"This corpse is the best proof. No one has ever done such a crazy Experiment before, which means that no matter how wonderful the idea is, it can only be an idea until it is realized!"

Zainjil, the Scholar of the Creation Alchemy Department, and even the members of the Scholarly Council probably never imagined that the False God they had created by binding together "Divinity" would actually gain the Faith of such a small number of tens of thousands of people...

Thus, beings were born who were considered "gods"...

Consciousness!"

"!!??"

Cheng Shi stared wide-eyed in shock, saying in disbelief:

"You mean... you mean..."

[The Eternal Day]...

"Alive?"

"You're right, He's alive."

But not now.

Because the following history was recorded on the Divine Pillar where the Birth:

His Divinity coalesced, giving rise to consciousness. When that consciousness became powerful enough to awaken on its own, a new Emissary was born!

And the name of this Emissary is...

[The Eternal Day].

However, He Annihilation shortly after His birth.

As for the reason, no one knows.

"..."

Cheng Shi's mind was almost completely blank; he swallowed hard, took a few deep breaths, and then said with a grim expression:

"But neither I nor my teammates have ever heard of such a... Emissary."

"Of course, His birth and destruction may have been in the blink of an eye. If I hadn't been fortunate enough to witness the Birth of the Divine Pillar, I wouldn't have known."

Cheng Shi's expression shifted slightly, and for the first time, he asked Great Cheng Shi a question about exploring unknown secrets.

"What are the Divine Pillar?"

"A fossil of life that you would never want to look at a second time."

All those who worship Him and Faith in Him will grow a mark on the [Divine Pillar] when their tribe completely perishes.

You can think of it as Museum, except that the exhibits are strung together in a way that resembles the accumulation and proliferation of flesh and blood.

"..."
