"… I'm curious, if I'm considered a freebie, what did you sell to the Master?" Medici suddenly retracted the danger in his eyes. His expression was unreadable, and he simply smiled playfully as he spoke.
"My deal with the True Creator was simple: 'Let the Old Creator reappear in this era' was the entirety of the transaction." Luo Lin said with a smile, and as he wished, he saw Medici's pupils tremble.
"Do you know what you're saying?" Medici stared intently at Luo Lin as he spoke, his expression no longer showing any hint of casualness.
For Medici at this stage, the existence of the Ancient Sun God was undoubtedly one of the deepest sensitivities in his heart.
"I know exactly what I'm saying, Mr. Medici." Luo Lin smiled. At this moment, he canceled the summoning of Azzik, looked at the Red Angel before him, and then used the latter as a medium for the summoning.
A familiar figure once again coalesced. The Ancient Sun God opened his eyes and descended upon this era once more.
Compared to the complete confusion during his first summoning, the Ancient Sun God, upon seeing Luo Lin this time, clearly understood what had happened.
His gaze then swept across the surroundings, and when it fell upon Medici not far away, the Ancient Sun God froze. The smile that always graced his face disappeared for the first time, and a hint of sadness seemed to flicker in his golden eyes.
The Ancient Sun God seemed to sigh. At this moment, the unusually clear sky of Backlund was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds, and drizzling rain began to fall, wetting every corner of the city.
In the underground structure, the long-departed Creator looked at his former War Angel and asked with a compassionate voice:
"Who turned you into this? Medici."
Medici found it hard to describe his feelings at this moment. He hadn't seen such a Creator in thousands of years. After the divine war at the end of the Third Era, the Ancient Sun God had fallen, and the True Creator was born from His remains.
Although Medici, unlike Amon and Adam, did not refuse to acknowledge the True Creator as the Ancient Sun God and still regarded the True Creator as the Ancient Sun God, he also understood that the Master was no longer the same. Medici deeply hoped that the True Creator would return to his original state someday in the future, but the War Angel knew, in his heart of hearts, that such a possibility was slim.
A fallen deity might never return.
It could be said that Medici never dreamed he would see the familiar Creator from before one day.
As a top-tier schemer, Medici should be analyzing what kind of being this young man who summoned the Ancient Sun God was, what his intentions were, and analyzing the conspiracies behind it all.
But as a War Angel, Medici could only stare at the Ancient Sun God before him, open his mouth, and utter a title that he often used but, for some reason, felt strangely unfamiliar at this moment.
"... Master!"
"I am here," the Ancient Sun God replied gently. He sighed, took a step forward, patted Medici's shoulder, and said, "You've worked hard all these years, Medici. I'm sorry."
"... You don't have to apologize," Medici pursed his lips tightly. The usually sarcastic War Angel, at this moment, seemed to not even know how to speak, only managing to say stiffly.
"So, who turned you into this? Can you tell me?" the Ancient Sun God asked again.
Medici's body stiffened. After a moment of struggle, he still looked at the Ancient Sun God and said, "Adam, Adam betrayed me."
The Ancient Sun God clearly froze, appearing very surprised, and then a hint of pain flickered across His brow.
The Ancient Sun God looked at Medici, then closed His eyes, and said, "I'm sorry, Medici, I'm sorry."
Medici was clearly confused by the Ancient Sun God's reaction, but before he could ponder it further, Luo Lin beside him coughed softly.
"Ahem, friendly reminder, you have 45 seconds left. If you want to catch up, there might not be enough time!" Luo Lin reminded them with a smile. Looking at the heartwarming scene before him, and thinking about the truth of Medici being boiled in a hot pot, and the future where Medici would unite with the Eternal Blazing Sun against Adam, he suddenly felt like he was watching black humor.
"Affection is real, loyalty is real, betrayal is real, and confrontation is also real… I can only say that God has caused too much harm." Luo Lin mused inwardly, and then saw the Ancient Sun God look at him.
"We meet again, Mr. Luo Lin."
"We meet again, Mr. Gehrman. I made a deal with you in this era. Are you satisfied, sir?" Luo Lin said with a smile, and as he spoke, he noticed the Ancient Sun God tilt His head slightly, as if listening to something.
Clearly, the Ancient Sun God had already contacted the True Creator of this era.
"I am very satisfied." The Ancient Sun God, having already exchanged information with the True Creator remotely, looked at Luo Lin and said, "So this time it's one minute, right?"
"The first transaction is naturally for trial purposes. If Mr. Sun God is satisfied, and we deepen our cooperation later, I will naturally allow Mr. Sun God to stay in this era for longer," Luo Lin said with a smile, like a perfect businessman.
What he said was the truth. With the price offered by the True Creator, Luo Lin's willingness to summon the Ancient Sun God for one minute, plus a Red Angel, was already a very generous deal.
Although with Luo Lin's current spirituality, even with his full effort, he couldn't summon the Ancient Sun God for more than a few minutes.
"I look forward to it." The Ancient Sun God gave Luo Lin a deep look. He suddenly said, "I'm curious, aren't you afraid I'll change the established past, Mr. Luo Lin?"
Hearing this, Luo Lin smiled. He looked at the Ancient Sun God, his smile bright and expectant, and said, "Actually, I'm really looking forward to you changing something."
Whether a summoned Time Shadow, after knowing the future, could change the past was something Luo Lin had experimented with countless times in his previous world. Every experimental result was the same: the past could be changed, but the more significant the impact of a key node, the harder it was to change.
Now, in a different world, Luo Lin was also curious if the rules in this regard had changed, and if the Ancient Sun God, once the strongest on Earth, could achieve what others could not.
The Ancient Sun God clearly understood Luo Lin's meaning, which caused a flicker of thought in His eyes. Then, He suddenly looked in a certain direction.
So Luo Lin also looked in that direction. He saw a blond priest wearing a white robe standing there at some point. The man had a beard and golden eyes. At first glance, those eyes seemed to contain infinite compassion, but upon closer inspection, one would realize there was nothing within them.
The Fantastical Angel, Adam!
