"Your Excellency Ji Yue, I demand an explanation!" In the same reception room, the man maintained his composed tone as he questioned the girl opposite him.

"You said our C Plan would succeed!"

"Isn't that a success?" Ji Yue said with a charming laugh, "Your human power has given a great being a cloak, and it lasted for 23 seconds. That's a feat. For humanity, isn't that a success?"

"But you said we could delay for a while!" The man's tone became more serious, as if he wanted to put pressure on Ji Yue.

"That's right, a total of 10 seconds. Humanity withstood the invasion of Gheros for 10 seconds, delaying the arrival of the final day by 10 seconds. Even with my help and the manifestation of Nyogtha's power, this can be considered the pinnacle of humanity's achievements in this era, making us look at them with new respect!"

"As expected, even though your current body is human, and even though you've always acted kindly towards humans, your true nature remains arrogant, looking down on us humans like a god looking at insects," the man said angrily.

"There is no looking down, sir!" Ji Yue did not feel insulted. She said softly, "I am both one and all. Strictly speaking, I am also you. Therefore, I will not look down on anything in this world, because it is all myself."

"Everything I've said is simply the truth!" Ji Yue stood up, still smiling, as the surrounding space began to tremble and the overhead lights flickered.

The entire roof was ripped off, and a huge, emerald-green lizard appeared before them. Of course, the green lizard was only what they saw from a human perspective; if they looked at it from a deeper level, they would discover the indescribable things inside.

"Bokrug!" the man exclaimed, quickly lowering his head and taking out the rune marks on his body. These marks were based on something that had been continuously tested and researched, called the Elder Sign. To some extent, this thing could make the Great Old Days Ones feel disgusted.

The Elder Sign are to Mythical Creature what excrement is to humans. If you're just passing by, no one would want to step on excrement. Of course, if a priceless ring falls out of it, don't expect a pile of excrement to have much effect on humans. Similarly, the Elder Sign are to Mythical Creature in the same way.

The effect is even worse for things of indescribable greatness, almost negligible, since the difference between the two is simply too vast. For a great being, it doesn't matter whether you Elder Sign or not, because you are far too insignificant.

Bokrug lowered his head, seemingly sizing something up. He wasn't sizing up this human, though, despite the fact that the other was an elite among humans—in terms of willpower and everything else—it meant nothing to him.

He gazed at Ji Yue, and after scrutinizing her closely, Bokrug bowed slightly to show respect for the one Ji Yue represented, before turning and leaving. Ripples emanated from his side, and anyone who touched these ripples would be reduced to the smallest particles.

"Look, I saved your life!" Ji Yue said with a smile to the person in front of her. "Humans are also just a part of this multiverse. It's just that your position in this universe is not as high as you think. Please don't do meaningless things, as that will only make humanity's losses even greater."

"But you won't stop it, will you? You're always so aloof!" the man said slowly, turning and leaving. The failure of C Plan made Waterblue Star even more dangerous.

However, Ji Yue's words were not wrong. If C Plan had not been carried out, the humans on Waterblue Star would have had more time to react under the protection of the barrier, and fewer people would have died.

However, due to the execution of Plan C, which transformed the barrier into the Light of Civilization, Gheros was directly exposed to everyone. The Music of the Spheres broke the restrictions of this world, allowing great beings to easily travel to and from it, which caused the instant death of most of humanity.

The man still showed extreme indignation on his face. He then went to a secret base, took some documents, and boarded a pre-prepared teleportation device to return to the main world.

With a flash of light, the person disappeared from the Waterblue Star and appeared in a peculiar space. Not far away was a round table, and seven people were sitting around it. Their figures were blurred by some kind of power.

"How's the situation?" It was unclear who spoke first.

"C Plan has failed as expected!" the man said calmly, without the indignation he had shown in front of Ji Yue.

"However, the data has been retrieved, and the final plan has been supplemented to some extent."

"That's good! So many compatriots sacrificed themselves for this cause!"

"They must think we humans are just clowns!"

"That's just how it is. We are far too insignificant to them. If we hadn't occupied the main world, we probably wouldn't even be considered clowns!"

"No matter what, for humanity!!"

"Is this my other brother?" Lu Li looked at the disintegrating human form of Nyogtha, or rather, he couldn't be called Nyogtha yet, since his true consciousness hadn't awakened. Currently, his main consciousness consisted of the players and the Child of Ashes formed from a portion of his consciousness.

Nyogtha and Lu Li are not the same. If the Man of Light and Shadow are almost a collection of all, Lu Li is just a small part scattered, then Nyogtha is the part that the Man of Light and Shadow chose to give up.

For a long time, Nyogtha existed as a god within the Man of Light and Shadow. However, in the end, for reasons unknown, Nyogtha chose to betray the Man of Light and Shadow, or perhaps the Man of Light and Shadow abandoned Nyogtha, knocking down his status and causing his consciousness to fall into slumber. A portion of his consciousness degenerated into the Child of Ashes, who was originally equal to Lu Li. For some reason, Ji Yue obtained it and handed it over to humans.

Unlike Lu Li, Nyogtha had long since become a great being. The Child of Ashes were merely a part of his degeneration. Once he awakens again, they will not exist or die. This is why Cheng Kui can never kill him.

"It should be about time!" Lu Li looked up at Gheros, who had landed again. His Music of the Spheres was of great help to these great beings, able to awaken the sleeping great beings.

At this moment, there are still many consciousnesses vying for control of Nyogtha's body. The players are not ignorant; they understand that Nyogtha has a primary consciousness. Therefore, their initial goal was not to take over Nyogtha's body, but to kill the Child of Ashes and become the one Integration Nyogtha.

If one still retains a significant portion of their own consciousness at that time, they might be able to differentiate into an Avatar.

One of the Great Old Days Ones, shaped like a giant green iguana, though of minor status, is a character created by H. P. Lovecraft himself.

He is the tribal god of the Thuum'ha, an amphibian-like alien race.

They slumber beneath the cold waters of the lake, which borders the Thuum'ha settlements of Ib and the Sarnath.

After the humans of Thanath brutally slaughtered the amphibians of Ib and abandoned their idols, Bokrug began to awaken. Every year thereafter, strange ripples would appear on the lake. Finally, on the 1001st "Ib Destruction Day" in Sarnath, Bokrug fully awakened and destroyed the entire Sarnath, leaving no ruins behind.

After that, the Thuum'ha people reoccupied Ib.
