"The game that eternally cycles on and on."
"And what we Faceless Ones must do—"
The Last Bishop gazed upon Ansu, the luminosity on His visage growing more enigmatic by the moment, and those purely white pupils burned calmly yet fiercely. Ansu felt that madness, the chaotic madness, the radiant madness, the madness that transcended thirty thousand years, but this madness was so tranquil, yet so intense:
"It is to comply with the [Fate] established by the gods, and then, to usurp the [Fate] created by God."
He looked at Ansu:
"The useless disciple of the later generations, who took the initiative to lead Heaven to fall, did so to ensure that young people of the future, like yourselves, would appear before me, on this very day when I was crowned as the Chaotic Councilor."
"Allowing me, who has become a shadow of Nether, to read the falsehood of this world, hence birthing the error that would usurp this world. To become the true 'error'."
Ansu's pupils shifted slightly; he was gradually understanding this so-called plan of Heaven.
To seize the world with an error; his own First Tier world 'Chenxing' is the best proof...or rather, an experiment. The world of errors does not cycle through reincarnations, but rather continues to evolve.
The next words from the Last Bishop caused Ansu's eyebrows to rise.
"But our plan has failed, or rather, we have seen through these eyes that the first attempt has failed." He serenely spoke of his own failure, "In the end, we still failed."
"The one who triggers the error, must also be an [error]."
"The beings who break free from the fate of the era, must first break free from their own fate."
"And the first attempt, the one who came before me was not you, as you had died early at that time—it was a girl named 'Cersei Milton', who was originally chosen by Merlin, the third successor to Heaven."
"The errors she caused were also insufficient for me to see the future, insufficient to err this world, insufficient to seize the second piece of the Era of Chaos."
"In the end, Avad could only be defined as Cathedral World."
"The Cathedral World is the world of the True Gods, but there is no distinction between True Gods and Evil Gods. Whether it's the Border World, the Esoteric Sect World, or the Cathedral World, they are all the worlds of gods."
"The Imperial Capital has been largely destroyed, barely clinging to life. Despite this, the fated chaos that is destined cannot be stopped, missing the last chance, never to be reversed."
"The apocalypse program of Nether has already been initiated."
"A decade after the 'Fall of the Imperial Capital,' the borders collapsed."
"The third piece, and the last piece of the Era of Chaos fell from the border, and after that, the entire Radiant Era was destroyed."
"After the radiance is chaos, and after chaos is again radiance; the same destiny cycles on forever."
"This is [Nether], a game of gods."
Ansu's expression became more solemn. The content that the Last Bishop had just spoken of was clearly the entire plot of the original timeline!
The special instance ten years later, was also the final chapter's instance, named—
[Falling from the Deep Abyss]!
(See Chapter 5, Chapter 136, Chapter 166)
Even the God of War of the borders, Archduke Annand who was not weaker than Magic God Merlin, died in the chaotic fall after fighting for three days.
The entire border family, the Sun, Moon, and Star, where everyone was a soldier, fighting to death without retreat, were annihilated!
Only by going to such extremes were they able to secure a three-day evacuation time for the citizens.
Only by doing so did they manage to preserve the smallest spark of Star Fire.
"The last piece of chaos..." Ansu remained silent for a long time, then he lifted his dark blue eyes to look at the Last Bishop, his lips moved slightly, "What exactly is it?"
Even he did not know, what exactly was it that fell from the abyss?
The first piece of chaos, also the weakest piece, was the City of Free Radiance—the chaotic border of the Chaotic Church Nation.
The second piece of chaos was Avad—the capital of the Chaotic Church Nation.
"What about the third piece of chaos then?"
Why did the third piece fall from the border, why was it the border, why was it specifically the border!
"You should be able to guess, Ansu Moningsta. Because you have already seen Him."
"The opposite of chaos and radiance, the chaotic border is the capital of radiance, and the radiant border is also the capital of chaos, it is where all fates intertwine, the endpoint of all stairs."
Thick, viscous blood exuded a putrid smell, the stairs besmirched with a profane twist, and from the end of the stairs, the divine door radiated holy light, but those radiance was so twisted and chaotic.
"It is precisely where you stand now. Behind this door."
"Farol's [Heaven] will be usurped by Mysticism of Chaos, this is an unchangeable fate, a destiny that is meant to be."
The Last Bishop eyed Ansu intently, after a long moment, He stated calmly:
"Avad's [Heaven], after thirty thousand years, will fall from the radiant border."
"After the Heaven of the Era of Chaos falls again from here, Avad will be reborn here, the Era of Chaos will resurrect."
"This is the final truth behind Heaven's Gate."
"The last piece of every era, is each era's own [Heaven]!"
Ansu finally understood, why the geographical locations of the two eras were completely opposite—because the places where Heaven fell, were the capitals of their respective eras!
"Ansu Moningsta."
The Last Bishop fixed His gaze on Ansu, "What the Radiant Bishop guards... is only Farol's Heaven, merely the heaven of radiance."
"Your forefathers, the families who inherited the border through generations, and their border soldiers, have confronted for these thirty thousand years... it is chaos's Heaven they faced, and when radiance fails to hold, your fathers will face divinity head-on."
