"Wake up from this madness..."
In the Fifth Epoch, Lynn, who had been eagerly painting the future famous "Mr Fool's Secret Diary," suddenly lowered his eyes, losing interest.
He seemed like a child who had suddenly lost interest in a new toy, setting aside the paintbrush and leaning quietly on the chair. His gaze was fixed on the half-finished drawing, but his pupils were unfocused, clearly daydreaming.
Simultaneously, in the Second Epoch, Lynn, who was teaching his students about astrology, paused. He put down the chalk and lesson plan, glanced at the young children, and coughed lightly.
"Sorry, I suddenly have some matters to attend to. For the rest of the class, Ouroboros will teach you the remaining knowledge points. If you have any questions, you can ask me tomorrow."
After saying this, Lynn quickly walked to the side where Ouroboros, who had been quietly organizing tomorrow's lesson plans, was standing. He patted him on the shoulder and lowered his voice.
"I'm counting on you to take care of these children. Follow the plan we prepared. I know you can do well."
Lynn genuinely trusted Ouroboros' ability. Although his personality was a bit rigid, this kind of grounded personality might be more suitable for dealing with obedient children than Lynn himself.
After all, Lynn knew that with his erratic thinking, he wasn't the best teacher.
Ouroboros seemed confused, not understanding why he, a good assistant, suddenly had to substitute teach. But he nodded and said, "Alright."
"Are you going to see Sasrir?" Ouroboros asked, curious and puzzled.
"Yes, I suddenly want to see him to confirm some things." Lynn smiled and nodded. He indeed wanted to see Sasrir because he felt he might have been confused by the True Creator. Otherwise, how could he think, even for a moment, that the True Creator was Sasrir when he said, "Wake me up from this madness."
Lynn was straightforward. If it were someone else in this situation, they might dwell on it painfully, overthinking. But Lynn's choice was simple—go see and ask the person directly.
Lynn wanted to ask Sasrir whether the True Creator was merely a lunatic who inherited his memories and emotions or if he was the lunatic himself.
Lynn had never delved into this matter before today. He simply denied the True Creator's existence based on intuition. But now, he thought he should ask.
Even if neither of the possible answers would make him feel better, Lynn wanted to know.
As for how Sasrir, who had not yet experienced those events, would understand the differences or be surprised, or whether this would affect the original history, Lynn didn't care.
He just wanted an answer from Sasrir.
Lynn wasn't a very intelligent person and didn't want to ponder complex philosophical questions, so he only wanted an answer from the person involved.
Just like how Zhou Mingrui, after crossing over, might only be Klein—only the person involved could give an answer.
If Sasrir said no, Lynn would steadfastly reject the True Creator's temptations. If Sasrir said yes, Lynn would wake him up from this madness.
Lynn would still not give up on saving Sasrir and cutting off the bad end at the source. But he would also start preparing a backup plan if saving him directly failed.
Everything depended on Sasrir's answer.
When Lynn hurried to Sasrir's study, he saw mountains of paperwork and a nearly collapsed Sasrir, along with Amanises, the newly promoted Evernight Goddess.
Oh, Amanises completed her promotion so quickly? Right, with the style of the Evernight, she must have prepared everything before deciding to betray...
Lynn raised an eyebrow and smiled at Amanises.
"Nice to see you again, Miss Amanises! Congratulations on your promotion to Darkness. Are you here to visit the Sun God?"
Lynn's address for the Ancient Sun God varied based on his mood. Sometimes it was Creator or Lord, other times just Sun God.
Of course, this wasn't exclusive to the Ancient Sun God. All big shots Lynn knew were treated the same way.
"Nice to see you again, Sotos. You seem to be doing well," Amanises smiled back at Lynn.
"I am here to visit the Sun God, but unfortunately, I came at an inopportune time as he is not here."
"I apologize, Amanises, I've informed my Lord of your visit. He should return within three days. If you don't mind, you can wait in the Divine Kingdom or tour around..." Sasrir rubbed his temples, his tone polite and impeccable.
"I would be honored to witness the only sanctuary for humanity in these chaotic times," Amanises smiled. She didn't mind staying a bit longer to see this small human kingdom.
Even though it wasn't as prosperous as the civilizations Amanises had seen, it could provide some comfort in this world dominated by supernatural beings, reminding her of her humanity and preventing her from being assimilated into a monster.
"I can't wait to look around. But I might need you to arrange a guide for me?" Amanises used a term only the Ancient Gods understood, sensibly giving Lynn and Sasrir space to talk.
Amanises wasn't stupid. She saw that Lynn came rushing in for something important with Sasrir and held back because of her presence.
Amanises didn't want to delve into the secrets involved. Though she and the Sun God were allies, they weren't that close.
The Evernight Goddess understood this well.
