Chapter 819 - 497 Yagen Faith (Request for Monthly Tickets)
"But I am not Artian, you can also start over."
Before Asaleth could get angry, Uncle said, "I hope you become my child, let us reunite in the world that exists."
Uncle is Uncle, and Artian is Artian; they are both the same person and not the same person.
Similarly, The Silencer is The Silencer, and Asaleth is Asaleth; if The Silencer is willing, she could become someone else.
Of course, there are no can or can't.
The Silencer is not a living creature by herself; she has no personality, self, or memory. Everything she is now was constructed by Bailuo and Uncle using their own knowledge.
In other words, The Silencer only exists in the cognizance of some great individuals.
She and Queen Isefia are similar entities; both require a foundation in reality to acquire a physical body and thus descend.
However, the Queen drew upon many keystones, copies outnumbered the original, while The Silencer, as Artian's daughter and now with Uncle's child being nurtured, has a direct physical body she can use.
"Do you think I will agree?"
Facing The Silencer, Uncle spread his arms: "How about a bet?"
"You chop me with a sword, if you don't kill me, you become my daughter," Uncle said, "If I die, then it's my loss."
"Didn't you say that I'm not worth you betting your life?"
"It's different."
Previously, Uncle didn't bet because he didn't want to give his life for a stranger, but now it's different— if The Silencer is willing to become his daughter, it's for Asaleth, who has yet to be born.
For his own child, Uncle is willing to take a risk.
What's more, who is he?
Saros!
Saros has never lost a bet in his life, so what about staking his life? He has bet his life countless times in this lifetime already.
"......."
"I don't want to face it; he has no rival, and your pride is just as incapable."
The Silencer did not swing her sword because she was simply unable to harm the person before her. Despite being unwilling, The Silencer had to acknowledge their relationship: "The strife of the human world has nothing to do with me; I have no reason to stop him."
"What's more, this is the war sanctioned by Yagen."
The Silencer's words were only partly understood by Uncle who saw her condense a golden sphere: "Contained within is the trajectory of fate, what should have happened. Even if the process is convoluted, I do not believe the outcome will change."
The golden sphere drifted toward Uncle, eventually absorbed by him.
"So that's how it is."
Uncle opened his eyes, seeing the past and that terrible war: "The root of Yagen Empire's destruction, it's as I thought, Xiao Luo currently lacks the strength to wage war."
"Come down."
Uncle looked at The Silencer: "Give me another chance, Artian may not value you, but I am Saros, you can have a new father. I can't vouch for Artian, but I can guarantee for Saros, he will definitely be a good father."
"The Yagen World is in shambles, even if I join the battle, what of it?"
"People have long ceased to worship Yagen."
"Go tell him."
The figure of The Silencer began to fade: "If this world recovers its broken faith, then I am willing to descend. Other than that, there is no other way."
Artian abandoned his newborn daughter, a goddess of wisdom who became an ignored Silencer because she was not permitted to speak.
Her existence is unknown to others; whatever happens, it is unrelated to her.
Only Yagen sheltered her, giving her a place; for The Silencer, Yagen is her only faith to serve and uphold. Regardless of how powerful she becomes, she always remembers this grace.
This is also why Yagen holds Skull Coins; The Silencer guards the gateway between existence and non-existence, and even Yagen cannot bypass her to revive someone directly.
But The Silencer can, it's her right, and the tacit understanding between the two is represented by the Skull Coin.
Those who hold the coin can trade with her to bring someone back from nonexistence.
Of course, apart from Bailuo, most people actually failed to achieve their wishes, bringing back only a shadow, or rather, the person in their hearts.
It's like the Resurrection Stone in Harry Potter; the resurrected person is shaped by your cognition, so whatever you ask, they will give 'the response you want', thus it feels incredibly real.
However, Uncle cannot be replicated, because if it's fake, what Bailuo can't do, the fake Uncle also can't.
Hence, it would immediately be exposed, this is also the flaw in The Silencer's fraudulence; the false is ultimately false.
"Faith?"
Uncle now also knows of Yagen; towards her, Uncle has no ill feelings or fears.
First of all, Artian is Yagen's student, and Yagen's son Yatun, was entrusted to Artian, to be his teacher and mentor.
Therefore, Uncle guiding Bailuo's destiny is actually a continuation from Artian and Yatun.
Yagen, from any perspective, is oneself.
Additionally, worshipping Yagen bears no harm to the Yatun Duchy, for Yagen's position in this world is 'Mother of the World', or in essence, the root, the primal, the path, and the ultimate truth of the universe.
Such faith in essence poses no harm to the nation, especially since Bailuo himself is a Son of Yagen.
"Old Master?"
Bailuo felt Uncle's call and immediately focused his attention.
"I've found an ally."
"That fast?"
Bailuo was stunned: "You've only just left!"
The efficiency of Uncle made Bailuo feel ashamed; while he had only turned his head, Uncle had already found an ally. Should one say Uncle really lives up to his name?
"Listen to me first."
Uncle said: "The other party has a condition to intervene."
Uncle told Bailuo about rebuilding the faith of Yagen in Miracle World, and to this, Bailuo thought that there was no problem.
Bailuo is not fond of religion, thinking it misleads people and divides the monarchy's power.
But the faith in Yagen fundamentally consolidates Bailuo's authority.
Because according to Uncle, Yagen is the goddess who created the world, and Bailuo is the Son of Yagen, stated in the ancient teachings thus: 'The goddess created the world and also bore the only child stronger than herself; he is the Supreme Lord of this world and the God Above Gods who guards the mother and the world.'
The Son of Yagen is the King in the mortal world; all of existence is his territory, all are his subjects.
As for what does not exist...
If it doesn't exist, why bother about it?
"Are you sure this doctrine is not made up?"
From any perspective, this doctrine seems like something made up by some king in the human world to gloss over and legitimize his rule.
What do you think?
