Trouble

After seeing Nim off, Neph looked at the "Book of Life and Death" in the Real World, her expression turning Affliction.

She really didn't want to keep an item of such Uniqueness around. For Beyonder of the Angel level, an uncontained Uniqueness was essentially a Sealed Artifact with extremely dangerous side effects, potentially leading to their demise.

It can indeed be useful; as the Uniqueness Pathway "Death God," the "Book of Life and Death" has an absolute advantage in hunting Angel, but the problem is...

Which Angel could she possibly attack?!

No, it's not like they're without goals. Even setting aside Zaratul, there's Haiter of the "Artificial Death God Faction"... oh, is that all? Then there's the "Pale Empress" of the "Royalist Faction" next door...

This realization didn't make Neph much happier. Aside from the fact that she didn't want to provoke an opponent of similar level whom she could have avoided, the real problem was that Neph knew very well that she was very young among the Angel.

This "youthfulness" isn't just about age, but more about experience. Aside from her knowledge of Concealment histories, in other areas, she's probably at the bottom among the Angel.

--And it seems she doesn't have a revival card yet.

Of course, this is unknown. After all, Klein didn't know he could be resurrected before he was brought back to life from the Megose incident. On a more optimistic note, Neph thought she could try committing suicide on the spot to confirm her resurrection ability and observe the principles behind it, determining how many times she could be resurrected.

--The question is, who's going to gamble on something like this?

Neph clutched the "Book of Life and Death" for a while, then finally decided to find the culprit behind it all, the "True Creator."

Perfect timing, I can also ask where that "Miracle Invoker" Beyonder Characteristic went... It sounds like it's no longer in Amon's possession...

Neph still climbed the mountain on foot. When she habitually stopped at the foot of the mountain, for a fleeting moment, she was reminded of her long-forgotten habit of volunteering at church and calling upon Emlyn, the Earth Mother.

She found it difficult to determine whether her actions were driven by faith or habit, but she no longer intended to dwell on it, as it didn't really matter at the moment—unless the situation truly brought her to consider seeking a different patron.

At that time, perhaps we should see what Wisdom does... the Wisdom choice... So, could we use this characteristic to keep a close eye on Wisdom, and when it starts plotting in another direction, it means something bad is about to happen here?

Neph, lost in thought, reached the mountaintop. Staring at the rows of benches before her, she fell into deep contemplation. She blinked blankly, hesitated for a moment, then walked forward, deliberating before deciding to go to Ouroboros in the first row.

"Neph," the owner of the rows of benches called to her, "Come."

She had to stop, because the upside-down figure in front of the illusory Cross did not react.

Neph sat down on the bench where Adam was, her posture tense and her body noticeably leaning forward, clearly eager to leave.

This rejection was almost her Adam. Adam clearly didn't take it to heart, simply maintaining that familiar, gentle smile and looking at her with those clear, childlike eyes.

"Why did you come here?" He asked.

Neph glanced at Ouroboros subconsciously, hesitated for a few seconds, and then asked, "Is there anything strange about me being here?"

--As a believer, it was perfectly normal for her to come to this mountain; the real uninvited guest should have been Adam.

Adam glanced at the "Book of Life and Death" in her hand and smiled, "You seem to dislike it?"

"Faced with something that could kill me at any moment..." Neph murmured, "Isn't it right for me to reject it?"

"Is that so?" Adam asked calmly. "I thought you'd have some ideas about it, given the Uniqueness of Adjacent Pathways."

"Do you have a way to determine similar Pathway?" Neph sat up straight.

Adam shook his head, then nodded.

Under Neph's confused gaze, Adam spoke calmly:

>p/<. You will understand how to do this, and once you have grasped the entirety of the 'source of quality,' you will truly be able to accept it.

>p/<"... the previous one in"

>p/<". There is a time period of time when you are not suitable and it is indeed possible to continue: "Only when you open your mouth do you seem to have a brief moment of thought, looking at her."

>p/<"? It's starting to... hmm? What's wrong with it?" Dora stood up and said, "Hmm."

>p/<? The beginning was about to end, the God of Combat had been planning since the beginning of the year, thousands of years ago, from that field--

>p/<: Answered, smiled slightly as Asia

>p/<. The debate between Boehringer Ingelheim and Bonnefert, a scholar of biochemistry and biology, on the topic of production and biochemistry, took place on the second day of the month.

>p/<. Research has shown that rice varieties resistant to cold in the Far North can be successfully developed. However, the research is not without its doubts. The expert, Bonnefeld, is a firm believer in this, despite the ongoing debates in newspapers and academic circles. Both sides are unabashedly polite, and this is a crucial moment in the conflict between the two countries.

"... It's true that the claim of being a 'cold-resistant' rice grower in the Far North is just a claim made by the Burenburg scholars. I still remember their theoretical debate."

>p/<: Without any attempt to be tactful, she frowned, nodded in agreement, and seemed to understand the situation perfectly well.

>p/<"? The place where you came out is a place of contention"

>p/<: A slight smile appeared on his face; there was no reply from Ya.

>p/<. Interesting in the study of real objects, born into the royal family, the student with the surname Artiska, a good degree, this person is surprisingly a coincidence -- he sent a guard to the Far North, a royal family military team came to ask for help from the angry student Bonnefeld, and finally this debate"

>p/<"... Preparing to head towards the Far North, a small team led by a special wave attendant with a degree was dispatched. This is a coincidence, in short..."

<. Her face changed dramatically, and she stared intently at Funa, the lines on the map forming a circle. A secondary map unfolded in front of her, and when Aya raised her hand, she spoke.>

/p>

The Feynapotter Kingdom is located between Intis and Loen, interspersed with smaller kingdoms such as Lenburg, Segar, and Masik. In this land where most people worship the "God of Knowledge and Wisdom," Feynapotter is a rare exception, worshipping the "Earth Mother."

Given that the "God of Combat of War" worshipped by Feysac is mother and child with the "Earth Mother" in mythology, and that relations between the two countries have always been very friendly, if Intis agrees, Feynapotter could easily cross the Hornacis Mountain Range, pass through Intis, and reach Feysac's Twilight Giant Palace.

--Then send the "God of God of Combat" Pope down.

The Arctic? That's just an excuse.

If things go wrong, the Feysac people might open their gates to welcome Feynapotter's army, only to mistake them for reinforcements...

"Where are they?" Neph swallowed hard. "They... uh, is my sister ready?"

This was the most fatal aspect of the assassination plan—they had penetrated deep into Feysac's territory, a vital area that would inevitably attract the "God of Combat's" close attention, not to mention the high-ranking Church officials within.

If the higher-ups aren't prepared to act simultaneously, then whether the lower-ups can succeed is another matter, but they certainly won't be able to return.

... Actually, it's risky to attack at the same time, isn't it?

She and Adam locked eyes, but Adam asked a strange question, "Did you learn this at school too?"

"No, not entirely..." Neph hesitated before speaking, "The school won't teach us how to do it, but they might show us something similar?"

"I see," Adam nodded thoughtfully. "Come to think of it, neither Roselle nor... I don't recall ever discussing a single issue with them."

He looked at Neph, his expression shifting slightly. "You seem to come from similar eras?"

Neph nodded, Adam then asked, "What was the rate of education in your time?"

"Huh???" Neph was stunned. She looked at Adam in surprise and said uncertainly, "This... at least among children my age, it's unlikely that any of them have never been to school...? At most, they started late, or dropped out halfway through, but they shouldn't be illiterate, right...?"

Why are we talking about this...?

Seemingly noticing her confusion, Adam replied:

"You all give me a strange feeling. Roselle opened up new sea routes, which led to subsequent colonial aggression—of course, I know that wasn't his intention, but what I find strange is that he genuinely didn't consider the consequences, even though he was still quite humane when he did all that."

"But on the other hand, he seemed to have read a lot of books, although none of them were professional books, but in my impression, that should be a very difficult thing..."

I understand, He felt that Roselle's understanding didn't match his education... Neph's lips twitched slightly, and she spoke sincerely:

"I don't know what Emperor Roselle was thinking back then. Unlike you, who at least had contact with him at the time, for me, he's already a figure living in Historical Records. Our deepest contact was through reading his diary. If you insist on saying, I could barely say I had any interaction with him after he became a god."

"However, finding books shouldn't be difficult in our time... Let alone non-professional books, even professional books should be available... It's just that you might not understand them."

On the other hand, wouldn't this kind of ruthless approach in this world give an opportunity for Evil God god like the "Hidden Sage"...?

Adam nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Your Sequence 1 is called ' The Person of the End '?"

"Yes..." Neph nodded hesitantly.

Adam gazed at her and asked again, "I heard that you ascended to Sequence 2 in the Kingdom of the Evernight? Did you complete the ascension Ritual?"

Neph hesitated before nodding, then shaking her head, and spoke uncertainly:

My promotion Ritual...

>p/<. The death of God has already referred to the pure and simple, not the blank canvas of man, which is called ' God's Passing '. I have always doubted this, and I ask for the ' God's Passing ' to return to the country and be reborn, in the 'Winter of the Son' ceremony of ascension.

"... I should have woken up by that moment, just as I was about to finish the ceremony. No matter which angle I looked at it from, it was still..."

>p/<. Ask when Asia "? Is it possible to leave you?"

>p/<. "What did Funa do?"

>p/<"? How can you call me back to the new world? Have you ever left before? -- This is the first time you've come to this world, the first time you've woken up," said Asia, "And you haven't left before."

>p/<"? Isn't it Mo Ga who dies this time?" I feel so good about Funa "???"

>p/<. Way, ask again, Asia? Is it possible for you to recover?

>p/<". Can I know if I can be revived? I think I will die later", said the girl, Funa", "I don't know".

>p/<. "You are the child, and in truth, no matter how you try to convince yourself, you are not the mother of this child, and therefore, you have no real meaning in returning to your mother's country," said Asah, "We have encountered a troublesome situation."

>p/<"?'The Winter of the Child' is not truly me because of this, I can't touch it, I can't take it down, I'm not ordinary," Funa breathed out. "... Therefore"

>p/<". Prepare for the last, the last one left, He is perhaps, or this I think -- this kind of way, I agree with you, but not your own mother, but", nodded when Asia", troublesome once, you helped me hide the secret"

>p/<. She transformed, but "Eternal Winter" was not the last thing she awoke from. She moved her hands and feet, but the "Above the Emperor" and the "Mysterious Lord" moved, and she passed through the barrier of death and chaos. She thought of a wonderful idea—"Eternal Winter"—that could truly be pieced together by the magic lamp described in the story of Funa.

>p/<. She had never encountered any setbacks on her journey, except for the card that allowed her to advance in this way. It was said that she had left no use for anything behind, or rather, she hadn't left any good "Eternal Winter" behind. She walked uneasily towards the 2nd order.

Looking at the present but

It seems this "mother" still had some useful methods left.

Neph frowned, a multitude of thoughts flashing through her mind, finally settling into a weak sigh:

"If only my mother were as magnanimous as the Mother of All Things."

The one living on the Moon probably hasn't given up on recognizing her as their "daughter" even today.

Speaking of which...

"... Oh, right," Neph slapped her forehead, "Actually, when it comes to recognizing children, ' the Primordial God Almighty ' seems quite generous..."

"Yes," Adam said, "When I identified myself as His child, He acknowledged me without hesitation."

"...?" Neph was stunned. "You... wait, you... you named your child this, not just to make a joke, right?"

Adam's calm gaze fell on her, but he shook his head.

"In the Second Epoch, shortly after leaving the ' Chaos Sea,' I also called myself ' Adam.'"

Neph shivered violently.

"... You... came into the awakened body of the original world," she murmured, "... came into the awakened body of the child, the most free in the beginning."

>p/<: She looked at him with a slightly dazed expression.

>p/<... come awake, the child will be the same as you, after you die"

>p/<... you"

>p/<"? Can genetic inheritance also be like this?"
