Did the Ancient Sun God Have Depression?

After a fleeting, illusory fluctuation, Luther opened his eyes.

Then, he found himself in a hazy Dream World. On one side was the strange black Monastery, and on the other side was a cliff, opposite which stood the epic and mythical projection of the "Giant King’s Court".

Luther last came here to hunt down "Saint of Darkness" Leomaster in order to advance to Sequence 4 "Black Knight". Now he is Sequence 3 Demigod, and he also has a Sequence 2 Characteristic stuck in his chest, but his situation has become even more dangerous.

Beside him, Adam also gazed into the distance at the magnificent Royal City.

By the way, He must have lived there too...

Luther thought to himself.

But compared to Medici, whose face was full of longing, Adam's expression was very calm. His pure eyes were like Mirror, simply reflecting the magnificent Twilight of the Royal City without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Let's go.

He spoke to Luther, then turned and walked toward the Black Monastery.

Where are we going?

Luther asked.

"The Forsaken Land of the Gods," Adam replied calmly, walking ahead.

"Is the entrance to the Forsaken Land of the Gods in the Dream World?"

Luther was slightly surprised.

"Theoretically speaking, the correct way to open the entrance is to travel by boat to the core of this Ocean of ruins, Dream Infiltration there, and recite the incantation."

Adam led him across the Monastery's front Square, into the main building, and then down through layers of staircases and rooms, "But that would take too much time, and it's not suitable for you or me."

So what are you planning to do?

Luther touched the stair railing and asked.

A black staircase winds its way down, and above, in the atrium, stained glass panels are adorned with stained glass, casting the Twilight light and bathing everything in a magnificent hue.

He secretly wondered if he could influence the other creatures in the Dream and use that to break free from Adam's control. But for some reason, they hadn't encountered anyone else along the way.

"You may know that this place is pieced together from many Dream."

Adam said.

Luther nodded slightly. In fact, this was the Shared Dream of all living beings in the entire God War Ruins. This Dream protected them, saving them from Misfortune in the Evernight.

"Among the many Dream that make up this Monastery, there is one core Dream that supports everything here."

As Adam spoke, he led him down to the very bottom of the Monastery.

There stood a black wooden door.

"Ugh!"

Upon seeing the door, Luther suddenly felt a sharp, intense pain in his head. It was as if an invisible, terrifying influence was spreading through the door, trying to create Illusion deep within his mind...

Oh no, I'm not protected from Tide anymore...

He was startled.

However, before those Illusion could take shape, Luther saw Adam's golden eyes, and all the pain and Illusion vanished instantly.

Whose Dream is this?

Luther asked, still shaken.

"It is the Lord's," Adam said, turning to look at him. "This is His last Dream, and the corresponding location is where He fell."

Upon hearing this answer, Luther was taken aback.

... The "Lord" Adam speaks of must be none other than the Ancient Sun God, the Creator worshipped by the City of Silver! Therefore, the God War Ruins are the ancient battlefield where the "Rose Redemption" besieged Him, the source of the Great Cataclysm?

In that case, many things make sense. This place is either noon or Evernight, a remnant of the divine power of the "White Angel" Aucuses and the "Evernight Goddess." The reason the Creator of the City of Silver could still dream before his death was because he was pulled into Dream by the Evernight Goddess...

I get very curious sometimes.

Thinking about this, a question suddenly arose in his mind, so he asked directly, "Your father was so powerful back then, why did he suffer betrayal from the gods under his command, and even lose to them in the end?"

The lineup of "Rose Redemption" is indeed powerful, but it seems insufficient to face the Ancient Sun God who killed the "Giant King," the "Dragon of Imagination," and other Ancient God, and ushered in the age of light for mankind.

Was the betrayal of the "Left Hand of God," the Dark Angel Sasrir, truly so fatal...?

Adam reached for the doorknob and said:

"Because this is also His will."

His will... The Ancient Sun God deliberately allowed the "Rose Redemption" to be established, only to have it attack him... Did He have no desire to die?

"Does your father have Depression?" Luther raised an eyebrow, deliberately asking provocatively.

Adam ignored him and instead turned the handle, slowly opening the black wooden door covered with strange patterns.

"Splash..."

Inside the door was a Sea, bathed in blinding sunlight, its surface seemingly shimmering with large swaths of rich gold.

Luther felt as if he had seen this golden light somewhere before, and then he quickly remembered that it was Illusion he had seen when he came into contact with the "Sunless Cross". The flowing gold was the blood of the Ancient Sun God!

As He was dying, He Dream Infiltration, and in that Dream, He dreamt of His own death.

"Boom--"

As the black wooden door opened, a powerful aura surged out, causing the entire Monastery to shake violently, as if the entire Dream World had been struck by an Earthquake.

A burst of intense light shot in, Luther seemed to have a premonition that if he were to be struck by this light, his Spirit Body would be completely Destruction within seconds!

Just then, Adam stepped forward.

Luther didn't see what He did, but the Dream that was on the verge of collapse suddenly stabilized, and even the sunlight shining in became softer.

Adam led Luther through the wooden door and into the golden, fiery Ocean.

Gazing upon this fragmented Dream, His eyes became pure and devout. Suddenly, He raised His hands and chanted:

"The Lord that Created Everything, O the Almighty;"

"You are the source of all greatness, you are the beginning and the end..."

This is... the Honorific Name of Ancient Sun God?

Luther thought to himself.

As he gazed at Adam's retreating figure, he seemed to have an illusion, as if the latter's form, amidst the echoing sound of his Honorific Name, resonated with this Dream...

"Boom!"

As this Honorific Name was chanted, new scenes suddenly appeared in the mad Dream of the Ancient Sun God.

At the edge of that dazzling golden expanse, majestic mountains and a magnificent Royal City gradually emerged... This was the "Giant King’s Court" from the Dream. A bottomless, deep crevice also appeared, separating the golden Ocean from the towering peaks.

"You are the God of Gods, the ruler of the vast Astral World!"

Just as Adam finished reciting the Honorific Name, the solidified Twilight light above the "Giant King’s Court" opposite them suddenly began to move, as if drawn by an invisible force, surging forward and filling the deep crevice. The Twilight light quickly condensed into a Road of Light.

The road to the "Giant King’s Court" was thus opened.

Adam reached out and grabbed Luther, lifting him into the air and carrying him off the cliff, landing towards the Twilight Passage.
