"However, the members of the Aurora Order in Backlund now all listen to my command."
Hearing Lin Ruo's words, Klein was truly stunned, after all, the amount of information in those words was too great.
"Do you mean that although you haven't joined the Aurora Order, you have directly become the leader of the Aurora Order in Backlund?" Klein asked, his tone both incredulous and full of suspicion.
"Yes, that's right." Lin Ruo nodded.
"Why?" Klein couldn't help but ask, after all, it sounded too absurd, "How did you do it?"
"It's not like I did anything..." Lin Ruo curled his lips, exhaled, and said: "The members of the Aurora Order in Backlund will listen to my command because of the True Creator's oracle. I am now... considered His favored."
Klein: ?
Wait, how did you become a favored of the True Creator again?
"Aren't you a favored of the Goddess?" Klein asked in astonishment.
"Yes, but that doesn't prevent me from also being a favored of the True Creator!" Lin Ruo shrugged, his tone playful, "Let's talk about sharing a favored."
Klein: ...
Sharing a favored is actually possible?!
I've never heard of favored being shared!
Klein didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only look at Lin Ruo with a hesitant gaze.
"Don't look at me like that. It's not like I begged the True Creator to be His favored. He just put this identity on my head. What can I do?" Lin Ruo half-reclined on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, raising his hand and tracing the pattern on the ceiling with his fingers, somewhat lazy and somewhat self-deprecating, "Should I go and tell Him that I don't want to be this favored?"
Klein was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered what Lin Ruo had once said, that he had not voluntarily become a favored of the Evernight Goddess.
And now, he was clearly not voluntarily becoming a favored of the True Creator either.
Was this a good thing?
Klein didn't know. Although he didn't know much information, he at least understood the principle that there was no such thing as a free lunch. And Lin Ruo's faint mockery and resistance when talking about his identity as a favored and the Evernight Goddess had long made Klein understand that things were probably not as simple as they seemed.
And... why did the Goddess transfer him to Backlund? What exactly did She want him to do...?
Thinking of this, Klein exhaled, looked at Lin Ruo, and said: "Is there any danger?"
"Danger... probably not. I can actually guess why the True Creator made me His favored one, to sell me this favor." Lin Ruo suddenly sat up straight, but his tone was still the same as before, "You shouldn't have forgotten the Creator of City of Silver, right?"
"Huh?" Klein was immediately puzzled. Why did he suddenly bring up the Creator of City of Silver?
But then, Klein thought of something, and his eyes widened slightly in disbelief, and he asked: "The True Creator... is really related to the Creator of City of Silver?"
Although members of the Aurora Order and others who believed in the True Creator had been promoting that the True Creator was the remnant of the Lord who once created everything, and even the other party's honorific name was "The Lord Who Creates Everything; the Ruler Behind the Shadow Veil; the Fallen Self of All Living Beings.", before today, Klein had never really thought that the True Creator was equal to the possibility of the Creator of City of Silver.
After all, the styles of these two were too different.
"It's more than just related..." Lin Ruo curled his lips, his smile somewhat mocking, and somewhat indescribably complex, "In fact, some of the Aurora Order's propaganda is true... the True Creator is indeed a remnant of the Creator of City of Silver. He is not equal to the Creator of City of Silver, but He has inherited some things."
"But He is indeed an Evil God... because He is crazy, just like your title for Him, the Fallen Creator. He is crazy, He is fallen."
Klein felt that the amount of information in these words was too great. Looking at Lin Ruo's somewhat complicated expression, he was silent for a while, and still asked: "Lin Ruo, have you remembered something?"
"I have indeed remembered something..." Lin Ruo nodded, his eyes somewhat erratic, and said: "When I was still an Angel of Judgment, my relationship with the Creator of City of Silver should have been pretty good... This is probably one of the reasons why the True Creator is now making me His favored and handing over the Aurora Order members in Backlund to me to command."
"But it's only one of the reasons." Lin Ruo looked at Klein, his tone suddenly becoming serious, and said: "Klein, you must remember that the price of all gifts of fate has long been marked in secret."
"Many people or gods help you, not necessarily out of kindness, but may just want you to owe them a big favor, and then rely on this favor in the future to obtain something through you."
For example, the Evernight Goddess wants you to retrieve the River of Eternal Darkness for Her.
Lin Ruo silently added in his heart, and then thought of himself. What exactly did the Evernight Goddess want to get through him, or what kind of transaction did he reach with him before he lost his memory? Lin Ruo didn't know, and could only guess that it was related to the River of Eternal Darkness, or the Uniqueness of Death and the God of Combat. After all, the Evernight Goddess's biggest plan at the moment must be to become a Great Old One.
As for the True Creator... Lin Ruo never simply thought that the other party was just making him a favored one again, and throwing the Aurora Order members in Backlund to him, would just be purely out of old feelings.
Lin Ruo didn't know what the real relationship between the Creator of City of Silver and him was, but the True Creator was already crazy. Even if the other party inherited the humanity of the Creator of City of Silver, he was already crazy. Perhaps the other party still had feelings for Him, but how deep could this feeling be?
Compared to feelings, Lin Ruo was more convinced that the other party would do this to invest in him, or to sell him a favor, so that he would stand on His side when the True Creator merged with Adam and planned to attack the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom.
Heh, maybe if I go to the Three Gods Church for a walk, I might be able to get a few more titles of favored... Lin Ruo smiled, but there was not much warmth in his smile.
Klein pondered Lin Ruo's words just now. While his mood inevitably became heavy, he looked at Lin Ruo's rare smile without warmth, hesitated, and still asked: "Lin Ruo, do you know what the gray fog is?"
Klein didn't think that Lin Ruo would say these words for no reason. And if there was anything on his unremarkable Sequence 7 that was worthy of the coveting or favor of a Sequence 0, it was probably the mysterious, extremely high-level gray fog.
Lin Ruo was silent for a while, nodded, and said: "Regarding your gray fog, I do know something... But I can't tell you for the time being. Only when you become an angel can I tell you about it."
Was it again the kind of information that would be corrupted if you knew it without enough strength?
Klein frowned and didn't ask any more questions.
Lin Ruo then smiled again and said: "Speaking of which, won't you ask if the price of my gift to you has also been marked in secret?"
