A contingency

"Jing, I'm leaving. If the glory of Paradise Mountain falls, then let your Twilight scatter the last vestiges of Angel Civilization's Radiance."

"Lord, I firmly believe that the glory of Paradise Mountain will never fall."

"Silvanus, you are the tallest oak tree, World Tree comparable to the universe. In the future, I hope you will become Pure Land for the Multiverse."

"My lord, I obey your will."

"Uriel, temper your will, strengthen your soul, I want to hear your songs, as eternal as your poems."

"Thank you for your praise, my lord."

"Raphael, your achievements in construction, invention, alchemy, and science far surpass those of others; everyone underestimates you. You are the creator of many creations on Paradise Mountain and the founder of Sky City. My regard for you is no less than that for anyone else."

"My child, I hope you will continue to maintain this enthusiasm."

"I will, my lord!"

"Raguel, your integrity has always been a source of joy for me. I hope your Thunder will shatter everyone who disrupts the Holiness Order, whether they are inside or outside, friend or foe."

I will do it, my lord.

"Remiel, I hope you go further on the path of the soul. It's a new path, and you will go much further."

"Yes, my lord, I will try my best."

"Sophia, you have been by my side since ancient times, right up until now. I hope you can help Annatania manage the affairs of Paradise Mountain and lead your Angel brothers and sisters well."

"I will, my lord."

"Aeryta, like your sister, you've been by my side since very early on. You fought for me across the land, establishing the earliest Angel Empire. I look forward to your power of death, hoping it will bring me new surprises upon my return."

"I will not fail your expectations, my lord!"

"Michael, my child who most resembles me, you are an upright and courageous person. Half of the warrior spirit of Angel is supported by your courage. I hope you will not forget your original intention and fight bravely, but at the same time, you need to protect your companions and protect yourself."

"I heed your teachings, my Lord!"

"Anwyn, you are my and Anna's first child. With Lionheart gone, you are the elder brother of all the children of Paradise Mountain. You must fulfill your duties as an elder brother and help Anna care for and discipline them."

"I will, Father."

"Livier, Sariel, although your birth was an accident, you are still my daughters. You wield destiny and confront the unknown. I hope you can be less playful and glimpse the wonders of fate soon, reaching the Seventh Realm."

"We understand, Father."

"Gael, my bravest daughter. You are braver and more skilled in battle than your brothers. After I am gone, you must protect your brothers and sisters and guard your mother."

"Yes, Father."

"Wolpis..."

"Sylvair..."

"Philgard..."

etc.

Lucifer.

"Do you know why I summoned you for the last time?"

"My lord, you must have something very important to entrust to me. Rest assured, I, Lucifer, swear in the name of the Morning Star, that I will handle it perfectly for you!"

Lucifer patted his full chest, his golden eyes shining, and spoke with a face full of pride.

"You're still so proud and confident, kid."

Jiang Yuu said helplessly.

"However, you're right, I do have something important to entrust to you."

Upon hearing this, Lucifer's proud golden eyes immediately sparkled.

Jiang Yuu smiled and spoke.

"Lucifer, my Morning Star, among all the Supreme and Angel, I have the greatest faith in your loyalty and ability."

"This time, I traveled to the Multiverse, to the Land of True Nothingness, to create the world, and to endure all kinds of tribulations, all for the sake of Transcendence to the other shore."

"My Lord, go ahead and go. We will take good care of the Multiverse and the Holy Paradise Mountain."

"I believe in your abilities, and I believe in your loyalty."

"However, this time I'm going away for a very long time, probably much longer than you can imagine."

Jiang Yuu smiled.

Lucifer asked, puzzled.

"My lord, how long will it take?"

"You should know about the inscription left behind by a once- Superhuman Civilization."

"The Emperor forged the Mountains and Seas, and will not return for a billion years!"

"I don't know if I'll be able to Transcendence like the Emperor of Humanity, but in terms of time, it will probably be about the same as his."

Jiang Yuu answered.

Lucifer exclaimed in surprise.

"A billion years? How can it take so long?"

"My lord, may I go with you? I want to stay by your side at all times."

Do you think it's possible?

Jiang Yuu laughed heartily.

"Uh... impossible."

Lucifer was slightly frustrated. She understood that the Path of Transcendence was Lord of Heaven's own Transcendence, and the path of creation did not require the participation of other beings.

Neither the Emperor of Humanity nor the Eye Emperor led anyone to create the world, and there are naturally reasons for that.

Jiang Yuu ignored her little expression and continued speaking.

"Even if I am gone for 100,000 years, 1 million years, or even 10 million years, I can be certain that the Holiness Order of the Multiverse remains as stable as Paradise Mountain."

"But this isn't a short time, it's a billion years!"

"A billion years—that's the time Land of Being to be born, and also the time it takes for an Emperor to be born and rise to power."

"I don't believe that the Supreme in the Multiverse wouldn't have other ideas if I were to leave for a billion years."

The Supreme Beings are the chosen ones of their respective universes, the strongest beings, and unparalleled figures unmatched throughout the ages of their respective universes.

They might accept the rule of someone so powerful that they dare not resist, but they would never allow a group of people of the same level to rule them.

We're all the same, why should we listen to you?

"But aren't these people afraid of your return?"

"Hehe."

Jiang Yuu.

"Transcendence is not something that can be guaranteed. Throughout history, only the Emperor of Humanity has succeeded, while the Eye Emperor has failed."

"Moreover, a billion years is too long; they can't wait that long, and they're unwilling to believe it."

"Hmph, if these people dare to rebel, I'll kill them!"

Lucifer roared.

You can't kill them all, and you might not be able to defeat them either.

Jiang Yuu shook her head.

"Therefore, Lucifer, I will entrust the Blazing Heaven Holy Banner to you; within it lies a wisp of my Sacred Wind."

"If in the future, the glory of Paradise Mountain is destined to fall, then use this wind to carry Paradise Mountain, and everyone's cosmic community, away."

"Very well, my lord, I will obey your will. But then, where shall I take everyone?"

Lucifer asked, puzzled.
