Inside the Luxury Villa where Lumian and the others lived.

Anthony openly observed Naporidisli, Long Sofa diagonally opposite him, and found that the other man was very calm, not in a hurry or agitated, holding a cup of coffee and sipping it gently.

This was unlike Pathway "Demon" Beyonder he had in mind; their emotions were stable, their posture relaxed, and they seemed so normal that it felt abnormal.

Ludwig, sitting next to Anthony, swallowed hard.

He was also sizing up Naporidisli, who was dressed in a suit and bow tie.

Naporidisli didn't ask when Lumian would return, and casually chatted with Anthony about the current situation of the Protected Zone.

After an unknown amount of time, Lumian and Franca's figures appeared at the edge of the living room.

Lumian instinctively looked at Naporidisli, and laughed, not hiding his surprise, "I thought you'd already been dragged back into the Abyss."

Naporidisli stood up, smiling unperturbed, and said, "I'm actually in better shape."

"Isn't the ' Earth Mother ' already fallen into Slumber?" Lumian sat down on another sofa.

Franca sat down next to him, a hint of curiosity in her expression.

The icy blue-eyed Devil Naporidisli sat down again and calmly explained, "Before the Crimson Moon descended, something significant happened that you should all remember: the consciousness of That One Primordial Witch God revived and his spirit became active."

"What does this have to do with you feeling better?" Franca asked with a keen curiosity.

Naporidisli smiled but did not answer.

Lumian glanced at Franca, then turned his gaze to Anthony and Ludwig.

Franca and the others stood up in unison; one went back to the studio on the second floor, one went to the kitchen, and one went to the Living Room to handle Disease Church matters.

Naporidisli then smiled and said to Lumian, "At that time, the evil consciousness and mad spirit of That One Primordial Witch God within me also revived, which to some extent balanced the erosion of the ' Mother Tree of Desire ' and allowed me to regain my long-lost peace."

"Unfortunately, the revival of That One Primordial Witch God quickly ceased, his consciousness focusing on the ' Chaos Sea,' leaving behind only a malevolent spirit that prevented me from achieving true balance. I still struggle to escape the control of the ' Mother Tree of Desire,' though my condition has improved considerably. I no longer need Lilith's help. Heh, even maintaining this state is no easy feat. Once the ' Mother Tree of Desire ' breaks through or bypasses the Astral World Barrier and descends upon our world, the rope holding me back from further descent will snap immediately."

"Does the evil consciousness and mad spirit of That One Primordial Witch God resurface within you?" Lumian asked rhetorically, at which point he roughly understood why.

A smile crept across the mouth of the middle head, and he raised his right hand to flick the forehead of the strange, dark Golden Strange Mask again.

In his voice, Naporidisli smiled with a hint of appreciation in his eyes and said, "Yes."

Others might not be able to figure out the reason, but you should be able to guess it easily.

"This is because That One Primordial Witch God, in the First Age, also contained the Sefirot corresponding to the two Pathway of ' the Chained ' and ' the Abyss,' the ' Shadow World.'"

"It even contained the ' Shadow World '." Lumian had already guessed it, but he was still somewhat surprised.

The "Abyss" Pathway of the "Shadow World" and the "Sun" Pathway of the "Chaos Sea" are completely incompatible; how can they be combined?

At that time, was That One Primordial Witch God already insane, unable to control his Convergence Instinct?

Did He first accommodate the "City of Calamity"?

Naporidisli a reminiscent tone, said, "Before the First Age, in an even more ancient time, there was a myth that the God of Heaven created the Divine Child. Many Angel, led by a certain Archangel, rebelled. Then, they were defeated, fell into the Abyss, created Hell, and became Demon."

"I'm familiar with all the Honorific Name you use in the Disease Church; I think you should have heard of this myth."

"I have indeed heard of it," Lumian.

Naporidisli nodded and said, "As far as I know, this myth may not have actually happened, but it represents a tendency, a tendency to associate Heaven with the Abyss, so when instincts Aggregation, that That One will prioritize the corresponding option."

"This actually aligns with Mysticism. You're probably familiar with the phrase ' the Fallen Nature of all living beings.' The Abyss has two entrances: one is the sunken continent in the real world, and the other Depths within everyone's heart, in their Fallen Nature."

"No wonder your condition improved after the ' Earth Mother ' Slumber," Lumian nodded slightly.

He then asked, "Are you also a remnant of the previous era?"

Franca had suspected this before, because many of the pseudonyms of the Demon Monarch Farbauti were similar to the names of the great Demon in the old myths.

Naporidisli laughed, "Suddenly it was gone, suddenly it was all darkness."

"By the time I regained some of my thoughts and memories, I had become a great Demon, and those thoughts and memories were quickly swept away by madness and bloodshed, only returning near the end of the first era."

"The old era has been completely destroyed, leaving only us survivors."

"Haha, for me, it's actually a good thing. I've lived for thousands of years longer, I've ruled the Abyss and the land, and I've enjoyed everything I never had in the old days."

Naporidisli laughed blatantly, making no attempt to conceal his desires and malice, a stark contrast to his calm and gentle demeanor just moments before.

This may be the real Him.

Lumian wasn't surprised. After the Demon Monarch finished laughing, he asked, "What do you want with me?"

Naporidisli returned to his calm state and said sincerely, "I would like to ask you for a favor. If you succeed, my sealed ' Abomination ' will die, and the Beyonder Characteristic it releases will be yours to dispose of."

After the Crimson Moon descended, most of the people in the Southern Continent were also drawn into the Protected Zone, including Farbauti, the "Abomination" hidden in the "Dream Festival" Tomb.

--Members of the "Rose School" Indulgence Faction and followers of the "Primordial Moon" were mostly outside the Protected Zone, especially those with Beyonder Characteristic and corresponding Pathway. Some cult members who were hastily brought into the Protected Zone were subsequently purged.

"Very generous, what's the matter?" Lumian smiled at Naporidisli.

Naporidisli picked up his coffee, took a sip, and said, "I want to do something that involves the Western Continent before the ' Fallen Mother Goddess ' has fully housed the ' Brood Hive ' and the Astral World Barrier is completely shattered."

"Right now, only ' The Fool ' and you can help me."

"Me? I can't help you get past the Celestial Worthy's seal." Lumian questioned. "Even Mr. ' The Fool ' can't right now. To protect the Western Continent, he strengthened the Celestial Worthy's seal. To send you in, we can only wait for an opportunity, a chance when the seal can be temporarily lifted."

Naporidisli laughed, "Thanks to Alista Tudor and Cheek for mastering the method of the ' City of Calamity ' through their Mysticism attempts. In your current state, you can perform a deep Mysticism without the help of their specially made Corpse Oil Candle, which is equivalent to establishing a connection with the Western Continent."

"What I need your help with is that when you perform a deep Mysticism later, and your spirit and consciousness enter the ' City of Calamity,' carry my spiritual imprint. You will definitely perform a deep Mysticism again because you will be risking your life to contain the ' City of Calamity.'"

"Take your spiritual imprint... what's the use of that?" Lumian asked.

He did not refute Naporidisli's last half-sentence.

Naporidisli explained earnestly, "I need to establish some connection with the ' Shadow World ' beforehand."

"Normally there's no way, but That One Primordial Witch God also contained the ' City of Calamity of City of Calamity,' and the ' Shadow World ' that were contained also Corruption each other. I want to use the Corruption of the 'Shadow World ' in the ' City of Calamity ' to make a preliminary connection."

"This is also a good thing for you. After my spiritual imprint merges with the Corruption of the ' Shadow World,' you can avoid these hidden dangers when you house the ' City of Calamity,' reducing the risk to some extent."

"You think you can transcend the Sequence like this?" Lumian asked thoughtfully.

Naporidisli shook his head:

"No, it lacks the necessary Uniqueness, and my current situation doesn't allow it."

He calmly added, "But that way, I can help the ' Shadow World ' unleash even greater power."

Lumian nodded, then smiled and asked Naporidisli:

Do you think I would agree?

"It is extremely dangerous to allow a great Demon to leave its spiritual imprint within one's consciousness and mind."

Mysticism is the Attunement of consciousness, spirit, and a specific object, independent of the body. Therefore, in Mysticism experience, all the objects used are manifestations of one's own spirit, not actual objects. In other words, if Naporidisli wants his spiritual imprint to participate in Mysticism, he can only place it within Lumian's soul, spirit, and consciousness.

Naporidisli looked into Lumian's Eyes and smiled, saying, "I think you will."

"Because you and I are the same right now: we're most 'normal' when we're crazy, and most crazy when we're sober."

Lumian laughed, and laughed for a long time.

Then, he suppressed his smile and said to Naporidisli, "Okay, I promise you."

"I will let you know in advance when I am ready for another deep and Mysticism."

Naporidisli stood up with satisfaction and extended his right palm:

"It's a pleasure doing business with you."

"It's a pleasure working with you." Lumian shook hands with Him casually.

Naporidisli took his Medium-Height Silk Top Hat, put it on his head, and said with a smile, "Aren't you worried that creating such a Demon will harm human society?"

Lumian smiled and said calmly, "If we don't survive the Apocalypse, no human society will harm you. But if we do survive the Apocalypse, and I am about to be destroyed, I will drag you down with me."

"If none of these things had happened, both I and Mr. ' The Fool ' would have dealt with you in the end—killed, sealed, Imprisonment, or Banishment."

Naporidisli was not at all surprised by this answer.

He smiled and sighed:

Thank you for your honesty.

Wearing Medium-Height Silk Top Hat, He left the Luxury Villa with measured steps.
