Klein had actually been curious about this question for a long time. He was puzzled by Neph's hesitant attitude Adam, and even more so by the specific details of this War of the Gods. Now that Neph brought it up, his eyes immediately lit up with anticipation.

"First," Neph chuckled, eyeing Klein with ill intent, "I remember you once wondered why I didn't call out ' Earth Mother ' Omebella. The answer is quite simple—you probably don't know, Omebella's remains lie in City of Silver City of Silver, which is why Black-Faced Grass grows there."

"Black-Faced Grass?" Klein was stunned. "Wait, then who is the current ' Earth Mother '? Huh? ' God of Combat '... how did the ' God of Combat ' die?"

Neph shrugged and said:

"This couldn't have been predicted, could it? Think about it, why does the ' Earth Mother ' Church always recruit Vampire? Don't forget, these two Pathway are Adjacent Pathways..."

She seemed to have said nothing, yet she seemed to have said everything. Klein finally understood the underlying meaning and couldn't help but sigh:

"I seem to remember, when Emlyn converted to the ' Earth Mother,' you said that perhaps he had already discovered the truth... So that's what you meant."

"Yes," Neph smiled, "Do I need to explain to you how the ' God of Combat ' died?"

Klein shook his head and continued to ask:

"I can roughly imagine it, but I still don't understand how the Goddess managed to deceive the God of Combat of war. You know, Omebella and He are mother and son; even with a Concealment power assisting her, Lilith shouldn't have been able to impersonate him so easily."

"Was there anyone else involved? Like Adam? But that's strange, when did the replacement happen? Before or after the formation of ' Rose Redemption '? I clearly remember that the name written on that long table was ' Earth Mother,' or Omebella's name, but Adam wasn't at that meeting..."

"Why not be bolder?" Neph said. "The founders of ' Rose Redemption,' besides my dear sister... ah, speaking of which, Adam's collaboration with the Evernight might also have a role in splitting me and my sister..."

She paused for a few seconds, her eyes flickering slightly, then smiled subtly:

"Besides Him, there is also the left hand of my My Lord, the Viceroy of Heaven, Sasrir..."

"... You mean, the concealment of Lilith's identity was accomplished by the Ancient Sun God?" Klein frowned. "That's understandable... But Neph, no offense intended, after the Great Cataclysm, after she became the ' True Creator,' how did she prevent the ' God of Combat ' from discovering the truth? After that, shouldn't Adam have been assisting in the concealment? Hmm, the substitution back then should also have been orchestrated by Amon..."

"You could definitely be even bolder," Neph said.

"What do you mean?" Klein frowned as he looked at her.

Neph lowered her eyes, a smile curving her lips. "Although I've never called Adam' My Lord,' haven't you noticed? My attitude towards Adam is actually one of great respect..."

"...?" Klein was stunned. "Wait, what do you mean?"

An unbelievable guess formed in his mind. He stared at Neph, Neph nodded slightly, as if confirming his idea.

Klein swallowed hard, then tentatively asked, "You mean, Adam was also part of the ' Ancient Sun God '?"

Neph nodded again.

This seemed to terrify Klein; he looked horrified. Neph thought for a moment, then added:

"Otherwise, why do you think Amon believed me so easily when I told Amon you were part of His Father?"

--Because His Father was originally divided into more than one part!

Klein took a deep breath, his face showing disbelief. A series of events finally connected in his mind, and he exclaimed in realization:

Therefore, the struggle between Him and the ' True Creator ' is, in essence, just a struggle for dominance.

"They may appear to be adversaries, but on certain issues, when they reach a consensus, they can unite against external threats."

Neph nodded again. Klein frowned and remained silent for half a minute before finally speaking:

>p/<". My heart is pounding with anxiety right now. He broke his promise to me, but I guess he didn't. Hmm. He's already half-become a god. Tell you to tell Mr. 'the man who's been hanged'.

>p/<: The question arose, and all thoughts drifted. A fleeting smile played on Enlake's lips.

Please remember our domain name.

>p/<"? The god half of the way to become the channel will teach the storm to pass through him"

>p/<". You can still get this from here, the special and extraordinary formula for the magic potion, the 3 series of advancements, he indicated, "but,"Enlake nodded, "is"

>p/<"? Is the 3-column sequence not present? -- Then you are still 'Guard of the Sea God', I haven't forgotten, but I, the foolish one", shook her head, "I guess I can't guess this either"

>p/<". Special special 2-column sequence to obtain this you from the writing can he, maybe": said the discussion mentioned like a joke he, came out laughing and couldn't bear to say Enlake

>p/<"... Manual storm against what plan I have, see also", Funa shrugged, "what he wants to do when he gets promoted"

>p/<: He opened his mouth and thought of everything, then touched his chin and said, "This is the question that was revealed, and it's clear that they are capable of making that decision now."

>p/<"? The meaning of the main character's gray cannon was that he let him fight, it shouldn't be that he taught the storm... God half-ascended him, let this time, back and forth speaking"

>p/<: He opened his mouth and said, "How come I can't remember what I encountered? I just briefly recalled the time I was in the vicinity of Rota and Jerome." He then began to Enlake.

>p/<"... The aftermath of the syndrome is unusual, it seems you took it away, did you come back to Shanghai from before he remembered me? He only saw it in his eyes, maybe... it's not certain."

"... In a battle like this, the situation is exceptional, except for the high-level storm that should have been taught to enter. As I see it," Funai shook her head, "I think the performance of the great barbarians is still quite impressive."

p/<: She seemed to laugh a lot, her expression changed, and she paused.

"... But given the current situation... the ' God of Combat ' has fallen, and the subsequent reckoning will just be about scavenging for credit... He... he's... he's gotten a huge windfall!"

Klein couldn't help but say in a tone tinged with emotion:

"So it seems the biggest beneficiary of this War of the Gods has been found—although for Adam, the benefits of completing the ascension Ritual might not be small, but it was ultimately His doing, while Mr. ' The Hanged Man '... he got it for free."

"Be bolder," Neph said solemnly, "Why don't you just say that Mr. ' The Hanged Man ' orchestrated this? Like you said, he's the biggest beneficiary."

"... I really want to say that to him directly," Klein rolled his eyes. "' Pure White,' you should change your habit of spouting off whatever comes to mind—is your supposed Divinity really just Slander?"

"Who knows?" Neph forced a smile, gave a light chuckle, and sent Klein back to the Real World.

"You'd better hurry up and open the door." She tossed out those words and vanished into the mist.

Klein pinched his brow. Despite his displeasure with this behavior, his true form, shrouded in the Historical Void, still managed a smile and muttered under his breath:

"Thank goodness, the person is alright... and it should still be the same person..."

On the other side, Neph returned to her original position, observing Feysac's current situation, and murmured thoughtfully:

"Speaking of which... it seems Miss ' Justice ' didn't have time to rebel..."

"Hmm, in that case, will she still have those same insights as before?"

Audrey sat in her studio, dressed in an elaborate and beautiful long gown, a paintbrush in her hand, but the paper Blank; in fact, there was no trace of paint on the brush.

--She clearly didn't really want to paint; she just wanted to be alone.

News from Backlund came later, but Audrey was unaware of the changes at the front. She remained on the battlefield, caught in the heat of battle, and watching prices soar, her heart was filled with anxiety.

Of course, as a director of the "Loen Charity Education Fund," she couldn't just let herself be frustrated. Audrey had actually tried to do something, such as lobbying nobles to donate money and goods—she even used her Beyonder Ability.

As the most beautiful jewel of Backlund, coupled with her Beyonder Ability, it was actually quite easy for her to persuade nobles to donate something. However, the amounts were usually small, and even her supportive family members donated limited sums, insufficient to truly alleviate the current crisis.

This put Audrey in a dilemma. On the one hand, she couldn't stand by and watch people go through all sorts of terrible things, but on the other hand, she didn't seem to be able to force her close relatives and elders to donate.

Audrey had been troubled by this for quite some time. Sometimes she would hide in her studio, sometimes in the music room, sitting there for an entire afternoon. Just when she thought she would be sitting there like that again today, her personal Maid Annie, knocked on the door.

"Miss, the Earl requests your presence," Annie told her.

"Did they say what it was about?" Audrey put down her paintbrush and gave a standard smile.

Annie shook her head. Audrey hesitated for a moment, then got up to change her clothes.

Earl Hall was waiting for her in the dining room. He smiled warmly upon seeing her, and as she sat down, Earl Hall smiled and said:

"Honey, I have some good news to tell you. I know you've been worried about this, so I came back to tell you as soon as I heard the news. Even your older brother doesn't know yet."

"What is it?" Audrey feigned interest, not wanting to disappoint her father.

Earl Hall laughed:

"We were just discussing something. Well, you don't need to hear anything too complicated. I'll just tell you some good news—with the help of Feynapotter, our troops entered Saint Millon and, in coordination with them, carried out the decapitation strike!"

"Now, only a remnant of Feysac's army remains, fleeing in all directions..."

Audrey nearly stood up on the spot; her joy became genuine, and her tone became jubilant:

"Is it true? We won?"

"... We're annoyed by the lack of food and drink, and we'll have to lower the tax rate after the war. Besides, you still have food—you have enough treasures and silver to bring back. I believe they'll bring back their army soon, as the war is about to end," said Lord Burgh with a smile, "Bebe, that's right."

>p/<: I couldn't bear to ask, the surging tide of emotions I heard from Lidiao, the beauty of everything after the war, the Buddha-like world, the peace and prosperity of the world, and the painting he created.

>p/<"? Neixa Fumina"

>p/<. "It's too good to be true this year, people are afraid of the fear... There are all kinds of agreements, the most basic is the cession of land, as a result of the defeat of the country, but it is not easy to think about it," said the indifferent Duke Burgh, "I don't know."

>p/<. The smile on Lidiao's face froze for a moment, then she paused slightly.

>p/<...

"What is this all about? Do you know?" he asked with a slight smile, looking at the guest in front of him with surprise. "Please don't look at the person in front of you, Master Camillaho, the Great Lord of the Great Sea." "I'll see you soon."

>p/<: The path was filled again, then paused for half a second, and the white-haired girl's head and shoulders fell to the line of sight of him.

>p/<". The spirit is truly awakened; look at this little pigeon."

>p/<". A congratulatory gift... come on, I'll ask," a mysterious smile appeared on her face, and she looked at the pigeon's head and shoulders, raising an eyebrow. "Is that right?"

>p/<. Bai Ming didn't seem to care, her eyes filled with doubt as she looked at the leader of the sect, Grand Master Miraho. "Congratulations!"

>p/<: After the explanation, she sat down on a chair and touched herself, feeling that she should be like Funa.

>p/<". Sdroa Mirror Demon,'111-2'"

>p/<: He opened his mouth because of this, and the more superior the item, the better. It would teach him about steam. This name and number were unfamiliar to him. The great master Miraho suddenly revealed his expression.

you"

If you want to borrow...

"It's not a loan," Neph interrupted him, emphasizing again, "I said, this is a ' Congratulatory Gift '."

Archbishop Horamick frowned and asked, "For whom?"

Neph glanced at him and uttered a single word. "Fool."

In an instant, Horamick Hayden's expression turned serious. He seemed to know what the word meant, stared at Neph for a few seconds, and then stood up and said:

"This is outside my Authority; I need to request permission from higher authorities. Could you please wait here for a moment?"

"You can't even make a decision about a level 2 Sealed Artifact?" Neph asked curiously.

Horamick Hayden shook his head and answered truthfully:

"If you're just borrowing it temporarily, that's fine, but if you're asking for it back, I can't make that decision."

>p/<. The standard seal of the object is level '1', which is sufficient to achieve the desired effect. Level '2' is therefore designated as such because it is only used as a secondary function to prevent harm. You should understand this clearly. If you understand all of it, then you should understand the special nature of '111-2'.

>p/<"... You've been foolish enough to only just mentioned it, it's still very important, but..."

>p/<"! Si Ai": The shout rose, and Funai tilted her head.

>p/<: Dao Shen stood up, Fu Nai, and landed on the table in the public office. She took off from the white dove.

>p/<. I'll bring you something, you wait a while, we'll discuss it.
