The Second Sun Rising from the Rooftop

"Hu... Hu Xuan?"

Cheng Shi looked up at the giant sun overhead, slightly at a loss.

But he soon discovered something strange: this newly born giant sun seemed to be able to be looked directly at!

Although it shines as brightly as the real sun, these seemingly intense rays do not sting the eyes, and even the surrounding temperature remains Change.

The sunlight felt no heat on people; it was more like a phantom of a giant sun than a real one.

As Cheng Shi to stare directly at the giant sun, in the center of his vision, at the very center of the sun, the surging, steaming heat waves slowly condensed into a blurry figure.

He recognized the figure as Hu Xuan at just one glance!

After a long time, she was still the same as before. A deep V black halter dress hugged her graceful figure, instantly bringing Cheng Shi's memories back to the scene of their first meeting in Yuanmu Town!

When Hu Xuan appeared, she smiled and extended her hand to Cheng Shi.

"Come."

Cheng Shi shuddered and instinctively took a step back.

Seeing that he still refused, Hu Xuan chuckled and shook her head, saying:

"It's strange. I see that everyone is afraid of Zhen Yi but not of me. Only you, Cheng Shi, are not afraid of Zhen Yi, but are afraid of me."

You brought me to this height, but why are you unwilling to walk further with me?

Cheng Shi forced a smile and said:

"Even if we don't join hands, we can still go further by walking side by side."

Besides, you said you didn't blow the whistle for good fortune, so just say what you mean. I don't want anyone to see an extra sun on my rooftop.

"It's alright, they can't see it."

?

Cheng Shi frowned and suddenly realized that he was wrong. It turned out that the Nightfall Spring Whistle was not a real summons, but an illusion caused by his influence.

Isn't the power to create hallucinations the Divine Authority of "Nothingness"? How can an item related to "Birth" have such an effect?

Hu Xuan noticed Cheng Shi's confusion and patiently explained with a smile:

"If the birth of life is called 'Birth,' why isn't the birth of illusion also called 'birth'?"

"Boom--"

Just from that one sentence, Cheng Shi's mind started buzzing.

He suddenly realized that the Divine Authority of [Birth] is not limited to [life], nor is it about being an "honest person" whose Divine Authority can be seized by others.

He was clearly one of the gods in this conflict, and while other gods, led by Truth, were seizing His Divine Authority, He was also seizing the Divine Authority of others.

And this "other person" now seems to be... [Nothingness]?

No, ma'am, it feels like you're stealing my chickens, selling them, and then coming back to give me a share of the profits?

Cheng Shi's heart skipped a beat. He wondered if [Deception] and [Birth] had reached some Mortals agreement, which was why He allowed [Birth] to seize Divine Authority from Him.

Otherwise, based on my understanding of the God of Merriment, His Divine Authority is probably not so easy to obtain.

Hu Xuan had no idea that Cheng Shi had such a wild imagination. She simply thought that this imagined "miracle" had shocked him, and soon broke the silence with a smile.

"I won't waste your time. I do have something to give you. Just before you called me, I finished my audience with Him."

He said He had found another child, but this child was still trapped somewhere and couldn't get out, so He entrusted the child's belongings to me for safekeeping.

Child!?

"No, wait!" Cheng Shi's pupils contracted, and without hearing the rest of the sentence, he spoke seriously, "What child?"

"Children like me."

Cheng Shi's eyes widened in disbelief. "The Emissary of [Birth]!?"

Hu Xuan nodded. "Yes, His Emissary."

"..." Cheng Shi's heart tightened suddenly. He instinctively felt that this child was probably related to him, but the one he saw was clearly the Emissary of [Filth and Decay], so how...

Thinking of this, Cheng Shi suddenly thought of someone, and the instant he thought of that person's name, cold sweat broke out on Cheng Shi's back.

He was stunned for a moment, then stammered, "Who is that child, no, that Emissary?"

Hu Xuan's expression also became serious, after all, for someone who had not yet become Emissary, that person was the true [Birth] Emissary.

"[Sinful Progenitor Mother] Golis, the first child of my Lord, and also His disciplinary whip."

"Who!!??"

Cheng Shi was shocked.

He was certain he hadn't misheard, and he was certain he hadn't misjudged; the Emissary of [Birth] was indeed Golis, Tullatin's mother!

But that makes sense, after all, she was a ruthless woman who tirelessly transformed herself in order to get closer to Him.

It seems that in history, [Birth] accepted her?

The question is, if you accepted her, why did you "lose" the child?

Cheng Shi was puzzled. He quickly sorted out his thoughts and asked the question. However, Hu Xuan's answer left Cheng Shi completely dumbfounded.

"The situation of the Sinful Progenitor Mother is very special, because she is not only our Lord's Emissary, she is also..."

The Emissary of [Filth and Decay].

???

What did you say!?

Before Cheng Shi, his eyes wide with shock, could even manage a uttered "fuck," Hu Xuan continued:

"His other identity is the Emissary of Filth and Decay, Afros, the Gate of Joyful Desire!"

!!

It really was him!

No, it has to be him!

When everything points to something being wrong, the one that seems most wrong is probably the truth!

"You mean, Golis and Afros are the same... person?"

Hu Xuan was somewhat surprised by Cheng Shi's reaction, but she still nodded and said:

"You could say that, but they are the same... god."

It seems you know them?

No, have you seen them?

You called me just about Golis?

Cheng Shi recovered from his extreme shock and nodded with a wry smile, "Yes, but it was actually for Afros's sake."

How could Afros be Golis?

The moment this question arose, a glint of light flashed in Cheng Shi's eyes, and he instantly thought of the answer.

Regardless of how she became her mother in history, in the Trials she experienced, she did seem to have the opportunity to become her mother.

That is...

The renounced Old Day Hunter, Scorpion, sent the newborn Afros back into the past, and it seems that the baby may have inadvertently become the First Golis!

Therefore, the story of Dolgo D is far more abstract and insane than what I witnessed!

Tullatin gave birth to himself, then conceived a new self with his future self, and returned to the past to become his the First self!

From beginning to end, whether it was Golis, Tullatin, or Afros...

They are all the same person!
