An Su fell from the darkness and before the candle of shadows, countless illusions and whispers rose from his eyes and ears, exposing all his past that was related to the unknown in the black candlelight.
In the flickering of the black flame, all truths became clear.
Firstly, what appeared in the fire was An Su's past life memory, his days before he "descended" to Nether. All that was hidden in the shadows, yet to be explored and verified, the unknown, surged in the light of the candle—under the gaze of the Mother Goddess.
It lasted only a moment, yet An Su felt as if he had lived through half a lifetime. When he opened his eyes in the dim darkness, the Mother Goddess's Judgement had already begun.
"Shadow and Unknown Mother Goddess," formless and devoid of any image, existed since the birth of the stars, an entity of darkness and chaos.
She was a deity symbolized by blindness and folly.
