Interpreting the symbolism

Lumian organized his thoughts and explained that the avatar might be an identity, the "Zhou Mingrui" identity lacked corresponding interpersonal relationships, the existence of Peng Deng and Zhang Yujia was even more special, and the appearance of Peng Deng's roommate Grisha in the Emergency Center of Mushu Hospital.

"From the perspective of Transmigrator, there are indeed issues with the corresponding details. Zhou Mingrui seems to be just a name, while the person who shares an apartment with Shatas and the others, works at the Intis Group, and whose brother is named Benson and Lady is named Sasha, is more like Klein Moretti." "Justice" nodded slowly. "Apart from the Dream City itself and Peng Deng and Zhang Yujia, the other important characters do not originate from the First Era or anything before the First Era."

She temporarily treats the ancient times mentioned in "Two of Cups" as the history of the First Age or before the First Age.

--To date, the "Tarot Club" knows almost nothing about events before the Second Epoch.

As she spoke, the "Justice" Lady fell silent, seemingly lost in thought.

The "Magician" Lady glanced at her and said to Lumian, "Since Peng Deng and Grisha may be involved with the Ancient Sun God, let me first tell you about the relevant information we know, of course, only the part that you can access."

At this moment, Jenna noticed the commotion in the living room and came down from the second floor.

She looked around, quietly found a seat, and listened with Lumian as the "Magician" Lady recounted tales of the Ancient Sun God.

The "Magician" Lady considered for a moment before saying, "I once told you that the Source of all extraordinary powers can be traced back to the Original Creator."

Lumian and Jenna nodded simultaneously.

Lady "Magician" continued, "Original Creator created this world, and at a certain moment, He disintegrated, splitting into Beyonder Characteristic of different Pathway. Hmm, perhaps it was the terrifying Impact of His self-disintegration that completely destroyed the super-ancient Civilization in which Mr. The Fool and ' Two of Cups ' lived, leaving only a portion of humanity to survive, thus beginning the first era we call the ' Chaos Epoch '."

"Was the Celestial Worthy born back then? Mr. ' The Fool ' and Franca should have been suspended above that Light Gate before the collapse of the super ancient Civilization." Lumian spoke in words that Jenna couldn't currently understand.

The "Magician" Lady pondered for a few seconds and said, "Based on our current knowledge, That One final creator possessed the tendency to both separate and Aggregation. Before His complete disintegration, He should have already developed a personality, or rather, a split in His divine nature. The Celestial Worthy may be one of the split divine natures. Therefore, the Celestial Worthy Venerable's Mental Brand, like that of the Original Creator, is indelible and will forever exist within the corresponding Beyonder Characteristic."

Jenna understood what he was saying, and she blurted out, "Then wouldn't Mr. ' The Fool ' never be able to truly defeat the Celestial Worthy?"

"The only way is to both integrate and resist, gaining a certain advantage over time." The "Magician" Lady smiled bitterly. "There's a saying in the Dream City that makes a lot of sense: In the long run, we will all die."

Lumian, Jenna, and the others fell silent.

The "Magician" Lady put away her wry smile and said, "Other deities also emerged at that time, one of whom you can call ' God '."

"The history of the First Era may be the history of the conflict between God and the Celestial Worthy. This is our only knowledge of that history, and its accuracy is not guaranteed. In any case, at the end of the First Era, something happened that caused both of them to perish simultaneously. Their Beyonder Characteristic split even more thoroughly, and the first Blasphemy Slate was left behind in some Concealment place."

The first Blasphemy Slate to record the twenty-two Divine Pathway.

"Does God occupy the Pathway of ' the Spectator ' and ' the Secret Supplicant '?" Lumian roughly understood what the "Magician" Lady was trying to say.

The "Magician" Lady nodded and said, "' The Spectator,' ' the Secret Supplicant,' ' the Reader,' ' the Sailor,' and ' the Bard' —five Pathway, a symbol of omniscience and omnipotence."

"Five Pathway..." It wasn't Lumian and Jenna who were moved, but rather the "Justice" Lady.

Of course, Lumian and Jenna were also shocked; the Celestial Worthy and Mr. The Fool only occupied three Pathway!

"The number of Pathway is not the key to the power of Great Ones." The Lady Magician simply, without going into details. "The Ancient Sun God became a god based on the ' Bard,' collecting the Uniqueness of the corresponding Pathway and the minimum requirement of the Sequence 1 Beyonder Characteristic. Afterwards, He was betrayed, fell, and split, but all indications suggest that He had actually encountered what Mr. The Fool had experienced before His fall, and God was revived within Him."

"After the fall of the Ancient Sun God, His legacy was divided into five parts. One part was given to the ' Angel of Imagination ' in advance, another part gave birth to the ' True Creator ' and the second ' Blasphemy Slate ' on His remains, and the remaining three parts were divided among the three Angel King of that time."

The "Magician" Lady didn't say what happened to the three Angel King afterward, but Lumian and Jenna both vaguely guessed something.

"A few years ago, That One ' Angel of Imagination ' became a god and obtained, well, I don't know if it was the second or the first Blasphemy Slate, anyway, he used it to go to the ' Forsaken Land ' and merge with the ' True Creator '."

"That's roughly how it is, but I can't guarantee the accuracy of the specific details," the "Magician" Lady concluded.

As soon as she finished speaking, "Lady. Justice" emerged from her reverie, looked at Lumian and Jenna, and said, "I have a guess about the identities and symbols of Peng Deng, Grisha, and Zhang Yujia."

Inside Café in Dream City.

After handing Ludwig over to Franca, Anthony used the excuse of continuing the previous consultation to arrange a meeting with Peng Deng.

He was prepared to rent a bare apartment and pay a deposit for renovations, since Zhou Shasha would be arriving in Yangdu the day after tomorrow, and they might not even have a chance to spend the money they had left!

Seeing Peng Deng put down his black backpack and sit down opposite him, Anthony smiled and greeted him.

"I Have a Friend who knows Zhou Mingrui, and I heard you're Zhou Mingrui's childhood friend?"

Anthony wasn't worried that this statement would trigger any significant Mutation, as it was a common negotiation tactic—building rapport to secure a better price.

After placing the phone on his right, Peng Deng raised his head.

A smile appeared on his otherwise unremarkable face:

"Yes, I'm not only Zhou Mingrui's childhood friend, but also other people's childhood friends."

Other people's childhood friends... Why emphasize that? Whose childhood friend is he? Anthony's nerves tightened instantly.

Inside the Luxury Villa in Trier.

The "Justice" Lady stood up and used her right hand to draw a semi-transparent, dreamlike Wooden Planks.

"Peng Deng once caused ' Four of Swords ' to hallucinate due to its own fear, and voluntarily break free from the Dream." As the "Justice" Lady spoke, she virtually created a photo of Peng Deng and this sentence, which was then pasted onto the Wooden Planks.

Next, she sketched Grisha's portrait:

"This is Peng Deng's roommate, who appeared at the Emergency Center of Mushu Hospital last night."

"This is Nie Zhen, Peng Deng's girlfriend."

After adding Nie Zhen's illusory photo, "Lady. Justice" paused for a moment and said, "This is the Boss of Aurora Company, which corresponds to the ' Aurora Order 'Aurora Company in reality. Their Boss most likely symbolizes That One ' True Creator,' closely related to the Ancient Sun God."

As she spoke, "Lady. Justice" also pasted a photo of the half-naked Aurora Company Boss onto the dreamlike Wooden Planks.

After two seconds, the "Justice" Lady continued slowly, "Zhang Yujia once sent Zhou Mingrui a postcard with a picture of the White Bone Church on it."

"For a long time, the White Bone Church was a symbolic object owned by the ' Angel of Imagination.'"

After Zhang Yujia's file photo was also pasted on the virtual Wooden Planks, "Lady. Justice" smiled and said, "' Spectator ' Pathway entered the ' Dreamweaver ' Sequence, and can differentiate their Past identities or personalities to become a person who is just like a real person, who can sleep, eat, socialize, and do things normally."

"Now, there are five people listed on the blackboard, and there are five Pathway to achieve omniscience and omnipotence..."

Before the "Justice" Lady could finish her statement, Anthony suddenly came downstairs.

Upon seeing the "Magician" Lady and Lumian and the others, he explained, "After meeting Peng Deng today, I was kicked out of the Dream, and this time it wasn't because of fear."

"However, I gleaned some information from Peng Deng's hints."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Anthony paused and said in a deep voice, "Peng Deng is not only Zhou Mingrui's childhood friend, but he may also be Celestial Worthy's childhood friend!"

Upon hearing this, the "Justice" Lady's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.

She pointed to the illusory photos on the semi-transparent blackboard and said, "Peng Deng is like this, and so is Zhang Yujia."

"Peng Deng's girlfriend Nie Zhen, his roommate, Grisha, and the Boss of Aurora Company, whose origins are most easily discernible, all point to the same symbol."

"The Celestial Worthy Venerable's childhood friend is God?" Lumian roughly understood what Peng Deng specifically symbolized.

This symbolism, influenced by the characteristics of the "Spectator" Pathway, has become fragmented, not only in Peng Deng but also in four other individuals.

"One of the people who least wants the Celestial Worthy to Resurrection is probably God That One, which is why he specially arranged for you to go to the Underground Area of Mushu Hospital to discover the corresponding psychological trauma," the "Magician" Lady said in an "I see" tone.

"Justice" thought for a Lady, then lowered her voice and said, "If the That One the ' Aurora Order ' currently worships were to enter Dream, he/she should be able to choose one of these five figures as his/her body. Peng Deng could be Him/her, Nie Zhen could be Him/her, Grisha could be Him/her, Zhang Yujia could be Him/her, and the Boss of the Aurora Company could also be Him/her."

The "Magician" Lady suddenly had a new idea:

"Peng Deng and Grisha are sharing an apartment, Nie Zhen is about to move Past with them. Does this symbolize the three of them coming together?"

Does moving out represent separation and confrontation?
