If He wasn't a challenger, then what was He?
Since He wasn't one, were there other challengers?
[Supreme Existences] of other attributes?
But Midnight was a graveyard. If [Supremes] of other attributes had failed their challenges and "died," their figures should have been visible within Midnight. Yet in reality, there had been no [Supremes] there besides Him.
He had died before. Why had He died? Had He fallen naturally, or had there been... some other reason?
If it hadn't been a natural death, then whoever had been capable of killing Him must have been an existence of the same rank. But after killing Him, why had the other [Supremes] vanished without a trace?
He had known from the start that the Federation wasn't "the entire world." The Federation was merely the Federation. So where had He learned that? The Narrator seemed to know it too. Where had they learned it?
Now that He had destroyed the Federation, what did He intend to do?
These questions left Xu Zhi unsettled. She felt that she had vaguely grasped the key, yet her existing common sense restrained her, preventing her from crossing the door called truth.
"What if—just what if—a world without believers, with only Him in it, was a good thing for Him?"
Xu Zhi spoke softly, but she knew that the answer to this question would guide one of her suspicions.
[If we disregard the current situation, then of course not.]
"What was the Federation before?" Xu Zhi asked another seemingly unrelated question.
[There is one point where your understanding is not wrong.] [The Federation is the Federation. The Federation has no past. History began with the Federation.]
These words did not violate any secrets or rules, so the Narrator was not punished.
