Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 121 Xiaohong knows the truth about Adam
Medici tutted again when he heard this. He glanced at Luo Lin and said impatiently, "How do you teach your students?"

"I'm teaching it normally. Besides, what teacher would teach about the fall of a Sequence 7 Creator?" Rowling said unhappily, looking at Klein and explaining:

"It's like this. The Creator of Silver City has indeed fallen, but after falling, He was resurrected. However, His resurrection was not very good. He was split in two."

After these words were spoken, Klein was stunned, and so was Medici.

Wait, why are you also stunned?

Klein naturally noticed Medici's strangeness and gave him a puzzled look.

Luo Lin blinked and continued, "Half inherited His humanity and corrupted authority, so it went mad. The other half inherited His divinity and became an absolutely rational being."

Luo Lin looked up at Klein and said, "In fact, you have already indirectly come into contact with the human half of the Creator."

"How could I possibly... Wait!" Klein suddenly thought of something, his pupils practically trembling as he asked in disbelief, "You're not referring to the True Creator, are you?"

The true Creator's name is "the Lord who created all things; the Lord behind the veil of shadows; the fallen nature of all living things." This almost perfectly fits Rowling's description.

And most importantly, Klein hadn't come into contact with many Sequence Zeros since crossing over. It was impossible for the Creator of Silver City to become the Goddess of Night, so it could only be the real Creator.

"Correct answer!" Rowling immediately applauded.

"Stop kidding! How is this possible... The true creator is the evil god!" Klein felt his mind was in a mess. He really couldn't connect the Silver City Creator who liberated humanity and killed the ancient gods with the true creator of the evil god.

The difference is too big!
"That's why I said the True Creator went crazy!" Luo Lin sighed and said, "He used to be a good God, but He went crazy, so He became what you see now."

Klein opened his mouth, a lingering sense of confusion in his heart. Something occurred to him, and he asked, "But didn't you say that the forces behind Mr. Medici wanted to continue the reforms... Would the insane True Creator really do that?"

"A simple madman would certainly not do this, but what if he regains consciousness?" Rowling asked back. He was not shooting in the dark. In fact, as the ancient sun god was summoned again and again, the real creator was indeed not as crazy as before, and seemed to have sobered up a lot. Perhaps the ancient sun god did something.

Luo Lin was also happy to see this happen. A sober and real creator is always easier to deal with than a madman.

Klein was speechless. If the true Creator did those bad things out of madness, then it seemed normal for him to decide to mend his ways after waking up.

"Of course, I know you're prejudiced against the True Creator. He did commit a lot of sins when he wasn't in his right mind. It's normal for you to dislike Him." Luo Lin then spoke.

"But this has nothing to do with Xiaohong. He was only recently resurrected, and he hasn't committed any sins following the true Creator, so you don't have to worry about it."

This is the truth. Although the real creator has gone crazy a long time ago, during the time of Solomon, the real creator had sufficient anchor points and was a legitimate god of the Solomon Empire, so he really didn't do anything wrong.

The true Creator's sins primarily occurred during the Fifth Era. "I don't have any grudges against Mr. Hong." Klein shook his head, feeling the information was overwhelming. He instinctively asked, "What's with the resurrection?"

"You still remember the Blood Emperor Tudor I told you about. Xiaohong once died at his hands and was cooked into a hot pot by him. It was not until Lucifer found him more than a month ago that he was able to see the light of day again." Luo Lin explained.

When Klein heard this, an idea flashed through his mind. He asked, "Is the True Creator's recovery also related to Mr. Lucifer?"

"Yes!" Luo Lin nodded in affirmation.

Klein roughly understood what was going on. Apparently, the True Creator had once been insane, and thus degenerated into an evil god. Until recently, Lucifer had used some unknown method to restore the True Creator to consciousness, resurrected the war angel Medici who followed Him, and reached a cooperation with them.

The content of the cooperation is unknown, but part of it should be related to reform.

"Really..." Klein felt a little complicated. On the one hand, as a former Nighthawk, Klein was very wary of evil gods like the True Creator, especially since he had fought with the other party's offspring and almost died for it.

But on the other hand, Klein couldn't ignore the achievements of the Silver City Creator, couldn't ignore the fact that the real Creator had gone mad, and couldn't ignore the fact that the other party wanted to reform after regaining consciousness, and had obviously changed his ways.

All these things made it difficult for Klein to say what his current attitude was towards the True Creator. He could only sigh that the world was full of twists and turns.

As for Medici, Klein didn't have any major feelings about him. After all, after spending the past few days together, he could tell that he wasn't a bad person. Furthermore, Jack had just said that Medici had just been resurrected, so the sins committed by the true Creator couldn't be blamed on him.

"Are you done?" Medici's voice rang out at this moment. His red eyes glared at Luo Lin, sharper than ever before. He asked, "Little lunatic, can you explain to me what it means to have the other half inherit His divinity and become an absolutely rational being?"

Huh? Doesn't Mr. Hong know about this?

Klein was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect this to happen.

Luo Lin slowly finished his apple, then poured himself a cup of coffee and took a sip before saying, "I thought you had guessed what this meant."

He raised his eyes to look at Medici and continued, "You were once the most outstanding conspirator!"

"Ha!" Medici almost instinctively sneered when he heard this "praise", but it was not directed at Rowling, but rather at himself.

Of course he guessed it. If Medici had not thought about it in this direction when he lacked information, then now that he knew that the Creator was split into two halves, and thinking back to the conversation between the ancient sun god and Adam, what was there that Medici did not understand?

He just felt it was ironic!
The Lord whom he followed and loved betrayed him and abandoned him!
"That's not true. At least Grisha didn't intend to abandon you. He's seriously trying to make it up to you," Rowling said in a low voice. "And the True Creator... He probably wanted to save you, but failed."
