Chapter 8: Myth and Faith
"It's hard to wait another six days before we can go, why do we have to wait for them to complete their mission?!"
There was obvious dissatisfaction in her tone, and a certain princess seemed to be waiting a little impatiently. She lay on the ground without an image and rolled cutely, as if she wanted to use this behavior to vent her dissatisfaction.
"If you are not satisfied with this time, you might as well go to the library and read some books. Gain more knowledge and learn as much about the battlefield as you can, so that when you get there, you won't be embarrassed. β
The girl with short pale pink hair glanced up at Charles, then continued to read the book in her hand.
"Alas~~ To be honest, I don't like to read. Reading something is the most annoying! β
"But I think it's very interesting, reading is not only to gain knowledge, but also to pass the time! It's like the book I'm reading now, which talks about human understanding of gods, and then weaves myths about gods. β
The girl handed the book to Charles, a faint smile still on her lips.
"Although these stories should all be fake, they are all fictional by human imagination, but that sworn tone is really interesting!"
"Eh~~ I'll take a look! Let me see! β
Charles, as if interested, took the book from the girl and read it with great interest.
"Hmm...... The Creation God created the world, and then stripped away His own power to create the Four Supreme Gods, which are fate, time, space, and destruction. Is there still such an attribute of destruction in this world? β
"The creator God was a little tired after creating all this, and then he fell asleep for 100,000 years. During this period, the four supreme gods maintained the existence of the world, but at that time, the world did not have any living beings, so there were almost no things they needed to care about. β
When the creator god woke up, she always felt that something was missing from the world. Hey~~ It turns out that the creator god is a woman! Then, she created her first creature, the Wraith. Wow! It turns out that the wraith was the first creature to be born! β
Charles finished reading the page and turned to the second page. There is a painting painted on it that appears to be the image of the creator god.
The creator god is a woman who is all white, dressed in a white robe and wearing a golden crown on her head. On the back are six large wings, the edges of which are drawn with thin golden lines.
She narrowed her eyes into a slit, but in the tiny slit, there was a faint white glow.
She sat on the throne as if she was napping. And at her feet, stood four unsightly gods. It's not hard to guess who these four gods are - after all, from the previous story, you can easily guess that they are the four supreme gods.
It's just that among them, the supreme god who exudes black light all over his body has to make people care very much.
"That black one should be the Supreme God of Destruction. But why doesn't the attribute of destruction exist now? β
Charles looked at Sakura, but the girl looked at another book that she had pulled out of nowhere, as if she hadn't heard Charles.
Charles didn't care, and continued reading.
"After creating the phantoms, the creator God went on to create the elves, nightmares, giants, humans, and demons in turn. In other words, the battlefield we went to this time seems to be a battlefield where we fight nightmares! β
Immediately after that, in order to maintain the balance of the world, the creator god continued to strip the various elements from his body, thus creating the god of various elements. And in order for them to exist forever, the Creator God gave them eternal life, and gave them eternal memories that matched eternal life, so that they would not forget everything that happened. β
"After the creation of a full seventy-two gods, there is only one attribute that exists in the body of the creator god. She suddenly felt very tired and wanted to rest, so she fell into a long sleep. β
But the creator god herself did not expect that the race she created would fight because of a little contradiction. It slowly evolved into a battle between races, and eventually evolved into a camp of humans, elves, and phantoms, and the three races of demons, nightmares, and giants, opposing each other, and waging a huge war. β
And those immortal gods, because they were too bored, also joined this war. Then it developed into a scuffle between the gods and the creatures created by the gods. β
"At first the Most High God did not go to war, but watched it all with interest. But suddenly, the High God of Destruction intervened, almost completely wiping out the entire elven race, leaving only a few remnants of the elves who escaped due to their presence in human territory. And this act of destroying the Supreme God also directly upset the balance of the war. β
"Then the Supreme God of Destiny made a move, wanting to destroy the giants, but in an instant, they were seriously injured by the Supreme God of Destruction."
"And at this time, the God of Creation woke up, and she discovered the anomaly that destroyed the Supreme God, and decided to punish him herself."
But after the God of Creation and the God of Destruction were at war, they were horrified to find that they could not defeat the God of Destruction. The strength of the Destruction Supreme God even exceeds the strength of the Creation God before the creation of the world. β
"Then the High God of Destruction slew the God of Creation with devastation, and dropped the sentence 'The Emperor of Sin has long since discovered your existence, and has shown mercy and given you plenty of time to atone for your sins, but you ......,' and then he let out a long sigh and disappeared forever from this world, and no one ever found him again......"
After reading it, Charles said that he was confused, and looked at Sakura with a pleading look.
"What is this myth...... It is true that the creator God created this world...... But who is the extra Supreme God of Destruction? When he finally disappeared, he said who was the Emperor of Sin? How strange! This myth is really a bit inexplicable. β
Sakura closed the book in her hand and gently set it aside. Then he tilted his head and stared at Charles.
"In fact, there are many versions of the myth that God created the world. Undoubtedly, this version, which looks very fake, is difficult to convince. But in my personal opinion, this myth may be true. β
"Why do you feel this way? This looks so fake! The creator god was killed by the destruction of the supreme god or something, it's too fake! What's more, in this world, I have never heard of the attribute of destruction. β
"Yes!"
At some point, the mark of the rose on Sakura's right hand had lit up, and a childish voice came from it.
"I did see the attribute of destruction a long time ago. But there are too few people who can obtain this attribute of destruction, and the physical requirements of the individual controller are extremely high, perhaps because of this, they have disappeared into the torrent of history! β
"Hahaha...... It turned out to be ...... That's it! β
Charlesan laughed a few times and changed the subject very awkwardly.
"Anyway...... Sakura, I asked for you, about the Life Gem. Father said that he could provide you with 200 E-grade Life Gems, 20 D-grade Life Gems, five C-rank Life Gems, and one B-rank Life Gem, but you would have to pay for these gems yourself. β
"Thank you!"
Sakuramu's face was filled with excitement when she heard this, she nodded, and then gently hugged Charles. Suddenly, Her Royal Highness the princess's face turned red, and a somewhat shy voice sounded.
"This is also something that I have to do, so I don't need to thank you so much......"
Then Her Royal Highness forcibly cleared her inner distractions and forced herself to calm down. Then she suddenly thought of something, and looked at Sakura in confusion.
"I always felt like something was wrong...... Why are you so excited to hear me tell you about the Life Gem, you shouldn't have known it through fate long ago? β
Indeed, if Sakura had known about this, she would definitely not have been so excited at that time, after all, she didn't need to act at that time.
That kind of excitement is naturally revealed, and it is definitely not something that has been understood for a long time. This also fully shows that Sakuramu is the first time to hear about this.
Sakura Meng was obviously stiff for a moment, and said with some embarrassment.
"Fate has asked me not to use the power of fate as much as possible recently, and not to easily spy on the trajectory of fate. Because...... Forget it, the reason will not be said. In short, now I can't just peek at my fate and modify it as easily as I used to. β
"That's fine...... Always spying on fate is not a good thing for your growth either. Ah, by the way, did you write to your family? β
Girl, is your mind so jumpy?
"No, I can dream to my father tonight...... Forget it, after making that decision, I was embarrassed. Let's write a letter......"
Sakura Meng touched her small nose and said with a little weakness. The girl sitting across from her couldn't help but laugh when she saw Sakuramu's performance.
"Don't laugh......"
Outside the window, the sunset sprinkled on the earth, warm, without any sense of twilight, as if reflecting the future. But more, it seems, is the last glory of the whole world......
Her Royal Highness had fallen asleep on the table, her pale green hair dyed golden as the setting sun had turned her pale green hair.
Sakura put down the quill pen in her hand, carefully folded the letter neatly, and gently put it aside.
The girl took a blanket from her bed, put it over Her Royal Highness, shook her head, and chuckled.
"It's winter, alas...... Aren't you afraid of catching a cold at all? β
Then he picked up the letter on the desk at the window and left the room with a light step.

It's a blood-colored world, and there are still snowflakes floating in the sky. But as soon as they landed, they were stained red with blood that filled the entire surface.
Countless horrific corpses crisscrossed the surface, both human and unknown.
They are covered in spikes, have hideous faces, and are extremely strong, most of which are more than three meters tall. In the face of them, humans really seem extremely weak.
In front of this corpse, there were countless tents. That's where the human army is stationed.
"War is always so cruel!"
A voice of vicissitudes sounded. The owner of the voice was holding a steaming cup of coffee, dressed in a military uniform with a silver badge on his chest.
The main body of the badge is a sword, surrounded by three stars in a regular row.
It symbolizes the general!
Generals of the Empire!
"General! The Nightmares have attacked, about a thousand or so! β
There was a rush of footsteps, followed by a very young-looking soldier who reported to the general after giving him a standard military salute.
"It's the sixth attack of the week! Those nightmares are really tireless! β
The general put aside the coffee in his hand, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes......
ps: The plot can probably be fully expanded, and there are a lot of pits buried in front, although most of them can only be used at a later stage.
So the next chapter is to enter the war! This is also the first metamorphosis of our Sakura dream......
