Therefore, after the Time Reversal in the River of Time ended, a Red Light flashed across Olnia's body, and then the phantom of a Crimson Moon slowly rose.

Bathed in the Crimson Moon moonlight, the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order were also enveloped in a red glow.

Time passed second by second, and a strange fluctuation emanated from the Hand of Order, growing stronger and stronger.

Once this fluctuation reached a certain threshold, a sigh came from the Hand of Order.

"Oh, Olnia, it's so good to see you again."

The voice sounded very gentle, but it contained a very strong sense of Rules.

There's no need to guess; it must be Trunsoest's voice.

As the True God of the Justiciar Sequence, he was too deeply tainted by this Sequence.

Therefore, even though he has already perished, even though his Beyonder Characteristic are only a wisp of remnant soul, he still carries a strong sense of Rules.

Upon hearing these words, Olnia's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Her marriage to Trunsoest did indeed originate as Political Marriage, but as things progressed, it became more than just that.

Olnia's beauty was irresistible, and Trunsoest was also a very charismatic person, so it was only natural that the two fell in love.

After a thousand years, she finally had the chance to see her beloved again. How could Olnia not be excited?

Not only Olnia, but also the Three Sanguine Grand Dukes around her bowed in perfect unison.

"Greetings, Your Night Emperor."

As Angel, they are not required to kneel and bow before emperors, even if those emperors are True God.

In this way, Kronos appears quite abrupt, because he doesn't make any move.

"Who is this little boy?" Trunsoest asked curiously.

Olnia explained, "This is Kronos, now our most important friend among Sanguine. Without him, I wouldn't have survived."

"Not only that, but he also played a crucial role in Your Majesty's Beyonder Characteristic and the process of awakening you."

Upon hearing Olnia's words, Trunsoest became even more interested.

Since Trunsoest was willing to listen, Olnia was naturally willing to speak as well; the lovers hadn't spoken in far too long.

So, Olnia began to recount the events that had occurred over the past thousand years.

Trunsoest truly hadn't expected that so much time had passed.

In his view, he had already prepared a backup plan, and even if the pollution of the Nation of Disorder was severe, he would be able to escape.

However, what he didn't expect was that the pollution he risked his life to get rid of would come back with his Resurrection.

He, on the contrary, brought great success to the Augustus Family and Castiya Family families, leaving them with two Beyonder Characteristic of purity.

Just as Olnia continued her story, Kronos spoke up.

"You need to hurry, the Time Reversal effect won't last long, it'll expire soon."

After being reminded by Kronos, Olnia finally got to the point.

After describing this Beyonder Characteristic state of being, she then spoke of the preparations she had already made.

However, they didn't know how to truly bring Trunsoest Resurrection.

After learning about the severity of the pollution, Trunsoest had already given up hope.

If even falling from grace couldn't be escaped, then truly escaping it might be quite difficult.

However, after hearing about the Authority of Time that Kronos possessed and William, who was already under his control, he seemed to have a new idea.

Of course, this idea has nothing to do with seizing Kronos's power.

If Trunsoest has even a sliver of a chance to Resurrection with the help of the Black Emperor Sequence, he has absolutely no chance with any other power.

The Justiciar Power had penetrated his soul; any other power would clash with him and would surely die a horrible death.

However, if he were to abandon his own Beyonder Characteristic and choose William's body instead, his success rate would be absolutely the highest.

As for the pollution issue, that will require Authority of Time to resolve.

Trunsoest had Consciousness that the pollution wasn't just in his body, but had entered his soul.

In this situation, simply transferring one's remaining soul fragments will have no effect.

However, if Kronos's Authority of Time could rewind his state even slightly, the situation would be much better.

It wasn't that Trunsoest couldn't suppress the corruption of the Nation of Disorder; it's just that he was corrupted during battle, and at that time he didn't have the opportunity to suppress it.

By the time the battle was completely over, it was too late, leading to the current situation.

However, if the state could be reversed to the point immediately after infection, Trunsoest could suppress it even with the help of Power of Sequence One.

Kronos's rank is only slightly low; even Time Reversal in Sequence One is somewhat difficult, let alone dealing with Sefirah Corruption.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to remove the pollution with the help of Kronos; at most, it can only regress to its best state.

As Trunsoest explained his solution, Olnia and the three Sanguine Duke beamed with delight.

As expected of His Night Emperor, he was able to come up with such a solution in such a short time.

Kronos admired this, for he was able to devise such a plan without ever having witnessed the power of the Authority of Time firsthand.

After explaining the plan, Trunsoest said, "Kronos, I won't use any honorifics with you. I really need your help this time."

"However, as a friend who has helped my husband and me so much, I've decided to give you a gift."

"If this plan succeeds, I will give you the Hand of Order that I now inhabit, as a testament to our friendship."

Everyone except Olnia was stunned for a moment.

Trunsoest was incredibly generous, directly gifting him a Sequence One Beyonder Characteristic, and even his own path to godhood.

Olnia's lack of intense emotion stemmed entirely from her understanding of Trunsoest.

He was a man with exceptional personal charm; otherwise, he wouldn't have attracted her.

Kronos has helped him so much; Trunsoest will definitely reward him handsomely.

As for the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order, Olnia believed that Trunsoest would make his own decision.

At this point, Colin couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "Your Night Emperor, this can't be! What will happen to your path to godhood if this continues?"

Trunsoest smiled calmly and said, "What path to godhood? I'm destined to have no path to godhood."

"Even if the root cause of the pollution isn't completely solved yet, I can't move up any further."

"The source of the pollution has left a deep mark on me, and it will definitely come back to haunt me once my power returns."

"Forget becoming a god, even becoming the King of Angel is a pipe dream for me, unless I want to go through what I'm going through again."

After Trunsoest finished speaking, the three excited Duke gradually calmed down.

If this is indeed the case, then the value of the Hand of Order Beyonder Characteristic is greatly reduced for them.

Although it can be crafted into a powerful and Beyonder Item, it is tainted with an abyss of corruption, making it something that most people wouldn't dare use.

Seeing that the three Sanguine Duke remained silent, Trunsoest continued speaking to Kronos, "Those contaminants are deadly to others, but you can isolate yourself from them, so this Beyonder Characteristic is destined to be yours."

Kronos hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed.

His hesitation wasn't due to a lack of willingness to help, but rather his fear that Trunsoest might have some ulterior motive, given the immense value of the gift.

But in the end, he agreed, unable to resist the allure of the Beyonder Item.

Now that a consensus has been reached, the next step is for everyone to perform their respective duties.

Olnia needs to firmly guard this Beyonder Characteristic and ensure that nothing changes in Trunsoest.

Trunsoest, on the other hand, wanted to use the contingency plan he had left behind to break free from his Beyonder Characteristic.

Kronos was always ready to help Trunsoest Time Reversal.

As for Olmer and Cecil, their role is to replenish Kronos's supplies at any time.

Reversing the flow of a soul corrupted by Sefirah and once a remnant of True God is a protracted battle for Kronos.

If Spirituality is insufficient, all previous efforts will be in vain, and the Power of Creation is indeed a good supplement.

As for Colin, he just needs to keep an eye on William Augustus and wait for Trunsoest to use his body to be reborn.

After everyone understood their tasks, they began to carry them out step by step.

If it weren't for pollution issues, Trunsoest might have been reborn more than a thousand years ago.

He disengaged from the Beyonder Characteristic of the Hand of Order with remarkable ease.

Those present were all Angel, and they could all see at a glance that the source of the pollution was deep within his soul.

Now that Trunsoest has succeeded, it's Kronos's turn.

The River of Time surged forth, rushing directly towards Trunsoest.

To achieve a better effect, he didn't just envelop the remnant soul in the river, but instead used the river to directly wash it away.

As expected of someone of such high status, even after being washed away for quite some time, there was still no reaction.

The Power of Time is indeed strong, but after all, Kronos was just an Angel.

Kronos gritted his teeth and devoted himself even more to his Spirituality in order to complete his work more efficiently.

As an Angel, fully activating one's Spirituality has a very powerful effect.

So it didn't take long for the Time Reversal effect to begin.

Because the timeline has been reversed to over a thousand years ago, the time since the War of the Four Emperors is not far off.

Even so, Kronos's Spirituality was draining away like water, and it would soon be exhausted.

Before Kronos could speak, Olmer placed his hand on Kronos's back, and then a slow flow of Power of Creation began to flow into him.

Seeing Olmer's actions, Cecil also began his own operation, demonstrating the tacit understanding between Olmer and Kronos.

As the deadline drew closer, Colin began his work.

He gently opened the Coffin of Death and released William from it, but instead of putting the Coffin of Death away, he kept Coffin of Death above William's head.

With the Coffin of Death and the Rope as insurance, Colin felt reassured; otherwise, he would have been afraid that William would break free of the seal and run away.

Time rewound completely to the period after the War of the Four Emperors, and Trunsoest's remnant soul spoke, "That's enough, this is the limit. If you continue, you will essentially restore me to a True God."

At Trunsoest's prompting, Kronos timely reversed the River of Time, restoring the remnant soul to its True God form—but wouldn't that mean sacrificing his own life?

As the River of Time disappeared, Trunsoest's remnant soul fell directly towards William's body.

This is not the same as the Possession in Eastern fantasy novels.

Trunsoest's primary interest was William's Beyonder Characteristic; physical attributes were secondary.

If he could completely destroy William's Consciousness, perhaps he could use William's body, along with the Sanguine's Power of Creation, to recreate a body for himself.

He had no interest in William's physical condition.

After Trunsoest's remnant soul entered William's body, William let out a series of screams.

In terms of spiritual stability, William should surpass Trunsoest, after all, he was complete.

However, Trunsoest also has his own advantages, namely his control over extraordinary power.

So for a time, the two were evenly matched.

However, as time went on, William's disadvantages became apparent.

Although his mind is more stable, he has just suffered a serious injury, so it is indeed difficult for him to fight a protracted battle.

Gradually, William's screams grew fainter and fainter until they disappeared completely.

Everyone present understood that this situation indicated that one side was beginning to gain the upper hand.

After a while, William opened his eyes.

"Help me rebuild my body."

Only Trunsoest could utter such words, and the Sanguine immediately sprang into action.

With the infusion of massive amounts of Power of Creation, William's body began to change.

What was originally a middle-aged man with black hair, blue eyes, and a square face has gradually transformed into a young man in his twenties with brass-colored hair, golden eyes, and a handsome appearance, yet with a nerdy air.

This is the true appearance of Trunsoest. His plan to Resurrection him has finally succeeded, and the Night Emperor has returned.
