Lynn had a great week of sleep. Not only did the assimilated values from his latest surge decrease, but even the lingering minor aftereffects from previous power borrowings also disappeared entirely. However, this deep sleep brought some trouble for Lynn. Not only did his Fifth Epoch self urgently need to contact Miss Justice to discuss the debut of Aurora Order members, but his divine avatar also needed to rush to the Forsaken Land of the Gods to calm down a certain almost-irate "Little Red." At the same time, Lynn had to deal with issues related to two other smurf accounts.
"Damn, all my smurf accounts fell asleep together…" Fully refreshed, Lynn bid farewell to Klein and began multitasking to manipulate the various smurf accounts that had fallen into slumber along with his main consciousness.
In the Second Epoch, the Angel of Secrets, who had suddenly fallen asleep, shocking everyone, finally opened his eyes.
Lynn blinked, finding himself lying in a familiar room. It was clearly his bedroom. Not far away, a figure sat at a desk, meticulously handling a mountain of paperwork.
Lynn's first thought was that this person was his primary guardian, his father figure Sasrir. But then he noticed that the person's back was clad in a black divine robe, with hair that was mostly black with a hint of golden-yellow near the roots.
Lynn was momentarily stunned before recognizing the figure—it was the Ancient Sun God.
Why would the Ancient Sun God be handling paperwork? Was he hallucinating? Or had the Ancient Sun God finally grown a conscience?
Lynn couldn't help but feel that something was off after waking up.
As Lynn was questioning his reality, the Ancient Sun God, who seemed to have finished the paperwork, turned around. His golden eyes, like the sun, glanced at Lynn, and he faintly smiled, saying, "Are you surprised to see me?"
"A little." Lynn nodded honestly, recalling the events in the Second Epoch before his slumber. His expression turned slightly odd as he said, "I remember I had already set off with Sasrir and the others to the Giant King's Court, right?"
"You suddenly fell unconscious on the way, and Sasrir decided that it was not suitable to bring an unconscious you to the Giant King's Court, so he sent you back. They were all very worried about you."
The Ancient Sun God answered calmly. He seemed to assess Lynn briefly before concluding, "But it seems that this sleep wasn't a bad thing for you."
"It wasn't." Lynn nodded but then asked, "How long was I asleep?"
Given the different flow rates of time in each space, Lynn wasn't sure how long he had slept in the Second Epoch.
"One hundred years." The Ancient Sun God calmly stated a number that Lynn found incredibly outrageous.
"Damn!" Lynn couldn't help but curse. While he knew the time flow between the Fifth and Second Epochs was absurdly different, it had never been as crazy as seven days in the Fifth Epoch equating to a hundred years in the Second Epoch! Was it because I fell asleep?
Lynn was baffled, and then he seemed to remember something. He looked down at his body.
Great, still the same seven or eight-year-old child—those 100 years were nothing.
"Okay, that's a surprising answer. So, does this mean that the Giant King's Court affair is long over? What's the current situation? Oh, how's the Eye of Secrets doing? After 100 years, how many of those kids I trained are still around? And why are you in my room? How are Little Red and the others doing?" Lynn's questions came one after another, truly experiencing what it meant to wake up to a world changed.
"The Giant King's Court matter ended a long time ago. Our cooperation with the giants was fairly successful. We've now officially gone to war with the dragons and giants. The Elven King and the Phoenix have already fallen…"
The Ancient Sun God answered unhurriedly, as if he had anticipated Lynn's questions, or perhaps he was just that familiar with these matters. "The Eye of Secrets has developed quite well. Several members of your first batch of students have ascended to demi-godhood. They have followed your original plan, taught many students, and have been awaiting your awakening."
"Awaiting my awakening?" Lynn was a bit surprised. He wasn't shocked that some of his students reached demi-godhood—after all, he had carefully selected talents for the first batch of the Eye of Secrets. But he had only trained them for three years before inexplicably falling into a deep sleep for a century. Lynn thought his students would have long forgotten him.
"You underestimate yourself." The Ancient Sun God glanced at Lynn, speaking in a calm yet matter-of-fact tone. "Even if you had slept for longer, they wouldn't forget you."
'After all, who would easily forget the person who pulled them out of the abyss? Especially Lynn…' The Ancient Sun God looked at the young angel.
He was truly someone who was hard to forget after interacting with.
"Ah, well…" Lynn felt a bit conflicted. "Although I want to say 'as expected of me,' I also feel a bit guilty…"
It was rare for the Ancient Sun God to find this amusing, but that didn't stop him from continuing to answer, "As for why I'm here, it's because I'm borrowing your aura to suppress the God Almighty's Will."
"Huh?" Lynn was taken aback by this, and he couldn't help but look at the Ancient Sun God again. He asked, "The God Almighty's Will awakening within you doesn't surprise me, but using my aura to suppress it, is that even possible…"
Lynn wasn't surprised by the God Almighty's Will awakening within the Ancient Sun God. After all, as long as someone was an angel of his pathways, they would more or less have some form of revived God Almighty's Will within them; it was just a matter of whether they could suppress it.
If they could, everything would be fine. If they couldn't, the worst-case scenario would be someone like the out-of-control Antigonus or the Ancient Sun God, who had to die to escape the revival of the God Almighty's Will.
Although, at this stage, the God Almighty's Will within the Ancient Sun God hadn't reached the point of losing control, as a being who was conservatively estimated to be a dual-pathway true god, the high proportion of the God Almighty's Will's revival was normal for the Ancient Sun God.
Lynn was just surprised that he could help suppress the God Almighty's Will.
Did he really have such a function?
"Normally, you wouldn't." The Ancient Sun God seemed to understand what Lynn was thinking and calmly responded, "But during this sleep, your aura became very special. As long as you were within a certain range, no matter how active the God Almighty's Will, or even the Original Creator's Will within someone was, it would be directly suppressed, and they would remain calm for a long period. During this time, even their divinity and madness would be weakened."
