Conception: I want a fine chicken-fried steak, smothered in rich gravy

"Conception" didn't notice that Lin Yu's perception of him had subtly changed because he had used the example of "Order" fighting for the legacy of the First Generation "Freud" on Mist Island.

He just kept talking to himself.

"So, if the opportunity for this 'resurrection' plot didn't happen last time... this time it's another 'suitable opportunity,' and I feel the probability of it happening is even greater than last time!"

"While the probability of beings from the Ten Realms Living Beings having 'Resurrection' methods is certainly lower than that of 'Player,' many high-level beings and even those who are themselves 'Player' still have a chance to survive if they are willing to relinquish their 'Player' identity..."

"But dramatically speaking, the probability of the First Generation 'Freud' appearing this time is definitely greater than before, since the original 'Creator' didn't appear last time."

"It's like a bomb that's been shown in close-up in a movie. If it didn't explode last time, the probability of it exploding this time is undoubtedly much higher."

He spoke earnestly about his Conception.

"Actually, according to your theory, the First Generation 'Freud' also appeared last time..."

Lin Yu thought to himself, but didn't say it aloud.

He simply looked at the Conception quietly.

"But for a 'Creator' to appear, there still needs to be some 'reasonableness'."

The Conception began, "Yes, yes... but if we have to talk about 'reasonableness,' it's not entirely without merit."

"I'm quite active in the City That Never Sleeps. Although I became an undocumented resident after infiltrating the mansion of Royal Nobles, it didn't stop me from continuing to perform in bars in the Outer City. During that time, I also met many people who were moved by my music..."

Lin Yu interrupted him as he listened to the Conception discussed.

Get to the point.

Conception nodded. "Oh, the key point is... among these Outer City mercenaries, gang members, and even some ordinary citizens, there's a saying that's been circulating..."

"The 'Creator' of that time faked his death to escape!"

"He didn't 'come back to life,' he never died at all—rumors say he handed over his most core technology to one of the Family Head of the Five Great Families as protection money in exchange for his survival, and he is actually still under house arrest in the deepest part of a family's private prison."

"There's also a theory that the 'Creator' might not have even been captured back then. He simply abandoned all the Alchemy Component and fled to the 'Life Forbidden Zone' in the Great Wilderness to hide and secretly forge the 'Ultimate Alchemical Battle Armor' capable of confronting Supreme Alchemy and the Three Great Corporations, preparing to one day return to the City That Never Sleeps."

"There's even a theory that the 'Creator' was indeed killed during the Three Great Corporations' attack... but he wasn't truly dead. He was in a state of suspended animation when his trusted confidants and disciples risked their lives to rescue him, and have been secretly preparing to Resurrection him for many years—which is why the Remnants of 'Supreme Evolution' are still active. It's not because they're driven by 'hatred,' but because... they still have 'hope'!"

Conception generously shared the different versions of the rumors he had heard with Lin Yu, leaving Lin Yu somewhat speechless.

Lin Yu had already vaguely realized...

Although the authorities have erased most of the records about the "Creator" and no longer mention the "Creator" in mainstream propaganda, this does not prevent him from becoming a mysterious "legend" and a cultural symbol that carries a certain "symbol" in the eyes of ordinary residents of the City That Never Sleeps, especially those in the Outer City who already operate in a gray area.

Or rather...

It was precisely because of the pressure from the Three Great Corporations that the official records of the "Creator" were erased, which ironically led to his "mystification" and made him a possible legendary symbol that was constantly being changed.

Even...

For a fleeting moment, Lin Yu was almost Conception and wondered if the "Creator" was truly not dead and would appear at the right time.

But Lin Yu knew this was impossible.

Because the one who orchestrated all of this was the Family Head the Nightless Sky Family, "Nightless Sky Yong Lian".

Lin Yu didn't believe that Nightless Sky Yong Lian would make such Error, giving the Creator another chance to return from the dead and be resurrected.

She's so professional.

Even if the Creator is truly a genius, possessing the power to deceive Chosen of God and the Family Head Royal Nobles families...

However, his abilities are absolutely limited to deceiving the Chosen of God and the Family Head, except for Nightless Sky Yong Lian.

The destruction of "Supreme Evolution," designed by Nightless Sky Yong Lian, could not possibly have left behind a vulnerability of this magnitude.

Even if some slipped through the net, they were just a few minor characters.

However, Lin Yu did not refute the Conception here.

"Since that's the case... we're going to investigate the legacy of 'Supreme Evolution' anyway, so I'll keep an eye out for news on that."

"We'd also like to Conception you to keep an eye out for us... If there really is such a thing as a 'Creator' being Resurrection, we'll probably really have to rely on your help."

Conception with an OK sign. "Leave it to me—wasn't this all planned out?"

"Okay, I'm going to eat, I'm starving... Aren't you really coming with me? Seriously, there are a lot of really good fried chicken places around here."

Conception trying to invite Lin Yu again.

Lin Yu shook his head. "No need... But then again, if you're an unregistered resident, how are you going to buy food in the City That Never Sleeps?"

The Conception began, "Have you seen those videos? The ones where you exchange your talent for food—I could find a shop, ask the owner if I could play a song for them, and then get some food in return."

Lin Yu listened to Conception reply from the other party's tone and expression, and confirmed it...

This Conception is not a joke.

He rubbed his temples and began to speak.

"You're so hungry, don't do such troublesome things..."

As he spoke, Lin Yu took out an anonymous Entities Asset Points exchange coupon from his pocket.

"Take this and use it; it should be enough for a good meal."

Conception at the thin, golden sheet of paper, momentarily stunned.

Without being polite to Lin Yu, he snatched the item from Lin Yu's hand, flicked it, and felt the light and strong texture of the specially made Alchemical Materials. Looking at the face value on it, he swallowed hard.

"Wow... I don't need fried chicken anymore! I'm going to the best restaurant in the Inner City and order a steak... no, I want three steaks! Two lamb chops! And a freshly squeezed fruit drink!"

Then, the Conception was directed at Lin Yu.

"Don't worry," Director, "... thank you for this meal. Even if the God of Wisdom and God of Life were to appear, I'd kick those two ungrateful Deity back!"
