Commission Completed

After listening to Lin Yu's analysis, the Nightless Sky Family Head sighed deeply.

"Oh dear, the methods of you 'Otherworlder' are truly impossible to guard against..."

"However, it was ultimately my oversight. Since becoming the Chosen of God of the God of Wisdom, I've relied on the fact that there's not much I don't know about this world, so my plans have always been somewhat rough, and I've always overlooked the fact that I don't really know much about you Otherworlder."

At this point, the Nightless Sky Family Head stretched and yawned. "Of course, we also have to blame that guy Sherlock... Among the 'Player' you're talking about, you should be much stronger than him, right?"

"Actually, they're not that different," Lin Yu said modestly, "It's just that we're better at different things."

The Nightless Sky Family Head laughed, "You're really giving him too much credit. It seems you do have a very good relationship with Sherlock... Just the fact that you have Deity behind you makes you far superior to him."

Then, the Nightless Sky Family Head paused for a moment before readily acknowledging and responding to Lin Yu's previous question.

"As you said, it was indeed I who issued the C-77 commission... As for my motives, it wasn't out of consideration for family interests, nor was it as the Nightless Sky Family Head that I issued this commission."

"There's a higher reason behind how I'm doing this..."

She pointed upwards.

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised.

"Is this something at the level of Deity?"

"Yes, you already know that Arlan created the concept of 'life' through some kind of 'ritual' and then combined 'life' with Arter through another 'ritual'," the Nightless Sky Family Head said calmly. "Now I can tell you that the first ritual is Divine Art from the 'God of Life', 'Creation of All Things'. This is also the foundation for the Divine Power Group's ability to produce Artificial Humans, and it is his legitimate ability as the 'Chosen of Life'."

"And another ritual... he used the 'Gate of Boundary' deep within the Great Wilderness, utilizing the power of Outer God."

"Before you, Otherworlder, arrived, we had already observed the existence of Other Worlds. In particular, when the Chosen of God ones inquired about the gods they worshipped, Deity never concealed the existence of Other Worlds and other Deity."

"Although most of the products of Other Worlds in this 'Barren Realm' that I am in today were brought by 'Otherworlder,' before that... we could actually exchange goods with the top beings of Other Worlds through the 'Gate of Boundary'."

"The ritual that Arlan Mercury used was performed by another Deity from another world, by borrowing the power of that 'Deity'."

Lin Yu paused briefly after hearing this, but he wasn't surprised.

Regarding the Deity mentioned by the Nightless Sky Family Head, he vaguely had someone in mind.

Therefore, Lin Yu decided to test the attitude of the Nightless Sky Family Head.

"So, is it the God of Wisdom behind you who is unhappy with the other party's overreaching influence and therefore intends to neutralize it?"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words, the Nightless Sky Family Head shook his head. "My lord doesn't have such complex emotions; this is simply my own decision."

"It's not that I have any dissatisfaction with this Deity or Arlan, but for me, if I had the opportunity to observe and understand the methods of World Deity, it would be of great benefit to both myself and the God of Wisdom —after all, Authority and Deity both contain 'Wisdom and knowledge,' so simply 'knowing' them would be helpful and beneficial."

Lin Yu asked in surprise, "I see. Then why choose this time to release it? Hasn't he been doing this for fifty years already?"

"Because I could observe him when he was alive, but I've only recently 'seen through' all the changes and need some changes and a more direct way of observation, so I intend to destroy this ritual."

"On the other hand... this is the best time for deduction," the Nightless Sky Family Head narrowed his eyes, "Your arrival has long been recorded in the annals of countless truths."

As she spoke, she reached into the air and pulled out a thick book out of thin air.

Lin Yu felt a lightness in his arms; the "Heavenly Scroll" he had been holding had disappeared.

"The Heavenly Scroll tells me that there is a chance that an 'Otherworlder' capable of breaking the deadlock will arrive here... and he himself is intricately connected to that ritual."

Lin Yu nodded upon hearing this.

"I see. It seems the Deity behind me and the Arlan summoned are very likely the same one."

He spoke in a low voice, Nightless Sky Family Head shook his head instead.

No, that's impossible.

Lin Yu, somewhat puzzled, "What's impossible?"

"The Deity behind you, its symbol and representative is a 'Crow,' is that right?" the Nightless Sky Family Head said earnestly. "Indeed, the Authority wielded by that Deity from Mist Island is very similar to the effect of Arlan's ritual... but they are not the same."

Lin Yu did not deny it, but continued to ask, "What's different?"

"I can't say for sure about Otherworldly Deity either," the Nightless Sky Family Head said casually, "But I'm quite certain that the power and ritual that Arlan borrowed from this Deity... came from a fallen god from another world."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu was extremely surprised. "A fallen Deity?"

"Yes," the Nightless Sky Family Head turned the pages of the book, "As for who it is, I don't know either... perhaps I will be able to draw a conclusion after you completely destroy the ritual."

The Nightless Sky Family Head said, then picked up Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, who was eavesdropping nearby. "In short... everything that needed to be said has been said, and there are no more misunderstandings or suspicions between us, so you may begin."

"You may complete my task. When all is settled, I will give you everything you deserve—the reward for this task, and all the information I have gathered about the ritual."

Lin Yu nodded. "Alright, then it's a deal... Respected Nightless Sky Family Head, it's been a pleasure cooperating with you."

"My purpose was to make you happy. I can see that if you, as Otherworlder, do not perish in Other Worlds, you will surely have a bright future," the Nightless Sky Family Head said with emotion. "You are different from that fellow Sherlock... I have a feeling that before long, perhaps at our next meeting, you will have grown to be someone who can stand on equal footing with me and be of great help to me."

"Therefore... everything I am doing now, the goodwill I am showing, can also be considered an investment."

"Alright, I won't disturb you any longer—you can proceed with your plan as usual."

What are you planning to do there?

Lin Yu asked curiously.

"To teach my good-for-nothing daughter a lesson... While I am not shocked by what she did, to defile this sacred hall with a hundred corpses, especially those manipulated by the Alchemy of the 'Life Spectrum' —such disrespectful behavior truly deserves a severe correction."

As the Nightless Sky Family Head spoke, he picked up the Nightless Sky Fire Apricot in one hand and with a gentle wave of his sleeve, swept away the corpses, leaving the hall directly.

Nightless Sky Fire Apricot's screams rang out repeatedly. "No! Help! Mr. Freud, please say something for me!"

Lin Yu simply watched the mother and daughter walk away, waving goodbye.

After the auditorium fell silent again, Lin Yu finally relaxed completely.

"It's finally really over—now all we have to do is wrap things up."
