Roland sat alone in the Papal Hall in Frankfurt, his head bowed and his eyes slightly glazed. When I look at it, it's like I'm asleep.

But in fact, at this time, Roland's soul was not here at all, but soaked in the astral plane filled with Aum's blood.

Beside him, three beings, familiar and unfamiliar, floated in the air, quietly watching Roland's soul.

One is a huge emerald slab, about thousands of meters high, with an infinite amount of golden dust sealed inside the slab, which can form a completely different meaning when viewed from all angles.

Next to the slate was a huge rune that resembled the wizards' true knowledge. Inside the triangular border is a rune in the shape of an eye that gives a mysterious aura. There were some strange fractures on all sides of this rune, as if it had been pulled from something greater.

Jean's counterpart to these two somewhat unfamiliar beings is a fairly familiar existence.

It was the huge coffin that would never be opened, and in fact, it was the true nature of the Sleeping Teacher, and what was sealed in her coffin were the golden seeds that had fallen into the Eternal Sleep.

The Covenant Maker, Aum's Eye, the Sleeping Mentor –

These are the only three remaining sages in this world, the existing supreme ruler of the world of Faenns, and the guardians who protect Faens from the invasion of Dusk.

They are truly the Most High.

Even if you are as arrogant as Tyre, you will always remember to be humble in their presence.

Just by being with them, Roland could feel his soul uplifted and his origins deepened. Roland's strength is growing at a rate that is almost visible to the naked eye.

“…… I think that's a lack of worship. ”

Roland turned his head and said earnestly to the covenant bearer, "As you said, the faith of the gods is inherently vain. They are not really above mortal consciousness - although they have indeed reached the point of being otherworldly, in reality, they are mortal at heart. And it's the type of mortal who gets rich overnight...... They have no consciousness of being gods at all, and they rule the believers as violently as a lord rules over the people. ”

"The most direct effect of this situation is the lack of worship. Although people also believe in the gods spontaneously, they do not believe in them because of the teachings of the gods, but do it as a kind of task. ”

"So I think it's because the gods got it wrong from the beginning, they only take from the believers and don't give, and that's why their believers' faith is so vain."

"Still. I'm different from them. ”

After thinking for a while, Roland replied seriously, "I am the spokesperson of the Sage. I am the only being in this world who can approach the Most High...... My character is a man who listens to the will of God, and even though I am of high status, people don't think of me as a monster and an anomaly. I will always be human, and my will will will always be the will that human beings have. ”

"As a spiritual idol of mortals, I can't get too close to them and I can't get too far from them. If I am too ordinary, my authority will be lost; In the same way, if I am too transcendent, I lose the value of being worshipped – ants will not believe in the Lord of the universe, because no matter how great He is, he has no connection with their lives. ”

Hearing this, the Elder Sleep Tutor nodded approvingly.

"Well, Roland."

The mentor asked, "You know, Farnes has fallen into despair and distress. Dusk is approaching, and it will almost certainly be destroyed, a fate that cannot be avoided. ”

"So Roland—do you have any way to save the world?"

“…… Yes. ”

Roland pondered for a moment, and further explained: "To be precise, I don't have a long-term way to save the world...... But I can at least give them hope. ”

"What are you going to do?"

The Covenant Maker asked.

Roland replied without hesitation: "First of all, to close the loopholes in the wall of Gaia...... This could prolong the time for Faennes to be destroyed by dusk, buying precious time. ”

In fact, if it weren't for the rebellion of the gods thousands of years ago, Faense might have developed the technology to get Faennes out of this ruined universe. This reminds me that people are not incapable of doing it, but because of the inferior nature of mortals, they cannot maintain the initial motivation for a long time. ”

"In the foreseeable future, people will be technologically advanced and entertainment facilities will make people slack off and lazy. The pace of progress has stalled. ”

Roland earnestly recounted his plan to the three sages: "I will be the blade hanging over their heads forever. Taking control of the Saint Laurent Empire and becoming pope is just the beginning. Next, I will become the lord of the earth, the king of the world. Even if Faens were destroyed, I would never die—and if I did, I would be able to realize my plans for the rest of the world. ”

"That's right—I want to be the only truth, the only God forever. I will become the supreme emperor, passing on the eternal command from generation to generation, and even if I succeed in escaping this ruined universe, this mission will never change—the responsibility of heaven will not change until death. ”

"Well said", the empty and ethereal approving voice of the Sleeping Mentor echoed in the air: "The responsibility of heaven will not rest until death." Well said - I should have shown it to those guys. ”

"Wait," Suddenly, the Eye of Aum interrupted the Sleeping Mentor, "there's a problem...... Do you want eternity, not immortality? ”

"That's right," Roland nodded slightly, agreeing, "Immortality is meaningless. As I said earlier, I'm just mortal too...... My spirit will also be corrupted by time. You might as well just seal my body away so I can still act as a statue. ”

As soon as the words fell, the three sages fell silent at the same time.

There was a hint of hesitation on Roland's face: "This ...... Can't you do it? ”

"No, it can be done."

Without hesitation, the tutor replied, "It's just that you need to look for the twilight ......"

"Looking for twilight? I? ”

Roland was taken aback.

The Elder Sleep Tutor nodded: "That's right, it's just you." ”

"But it's not for you to fight twilight...... Instead, let you try to touch the twilight. ”

"Contact Twilight?!"

"That's right. As long as you have been in contact with the twilight and have not been lost, the infinite power of the twilight seed can be used for you. ”

The Elder Sleep Tutor replied pointedly, "...... As long as your will is strong enough. ”

Contact...... Dusk.

Roland disconnected and fell into thought.

At that moment, he felt someone in Titan in the distance calling to him.

Roland's eyes lit up.

No doubt. That's a good time to touch the twilight. (To be continued.) )
