"Mr. Door… That naming style really suits me… I wonder what the real name of this poor fellow trapped deep within the storm, lost in the darkness, truly is. What Sequence is he equivalent to? Or is it just as Emperor Roselle predicted, that he is one of the evil gods or devils…" Klein half-muttered, half-chuckled in self-deprecation. He was also quite interested in some of the history of the Fourth Epoch: "I know the most famous 'War of the Four Emperors' of the Fourth Epoch, but my understanding of the specific details and major figures is limited to what has been circulated by the major Churches, such as the 'Black Emperor' of the
"It was only today that the so-called 'Mr. Door' resolved my doubts, letting me know who the remaining three of the Four Emperors were: the half-mad 'Blood Emperor' of the Tudor Dynasty, the 'Emperor of the Night' of the Trunsost Empire, and the 'Underworld Emperor' of the Southern Continent, commonly known as the God of Death."
"According to Mr. Door's description, in this war that changed the entire world situation, the Black Emperor, the Blood Emperor, and the Emperor of the Night fell one after another, and the Underworld Emperor reaped the greatest benefits."
"At this point, Mr. Door added a meaningful note. After more than a hundred years of digestion, the God of Death went mad, but also became stronger. He then joined hands with the
"The God of Death went mad, but also became stronger!"
"
"However, this also confirms one of my guesses, which is that before the Fifth Epoch, those gods would often descend upon the real world, directly interfering in the situation of the Northern and Southern Continents, and might even get personally involved like the God of Death."
"I asked Mr. Door if he had participated in that 'War of the Four Emperors'. If so, what role did he play? And what stance did the Seven Gods hold in this war, and what effect did they have?"
"Mr. Door didn't answer my question. He just said thoughtfully that the top-tier powerhouses of the Fourth Epoch were much more numerous than I had imagined."
"Additionally, he mentioned two laws. One is the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility, and the other is the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Conservation within Adjacent Sequences. This matches some things I know from that most secret and ancient organization, and it aligns with some phenomena I have observed. Hah, this can deduce many interesting conclusions, making the explanations of many things take on a different form, a form that is frightening and chilling. For example, within the same Pathway, if there are many High Sequences, the Low Sequences will decrease, and vice versa."
"...The total number of Beyonder Characteristics is fixed at the source; they will not increase, they will not decrease. Does this mean there really is a Lord who created all things, an Omniscient and Omnipotent God, and everything originates from Him?"
This was the longest diary entry of Emperor Roselle that Klein had ever read. It took up two full pages of paper. It could be imagined that it originally existed as a front and back, but after being transcribed time and time again, it became two separate pages.
"So much information..." Klein sighed silently.
As a history major who had graduated normally, he had always thought that the Solomon Empire, the Tudor Dynasty, and the Trunsost Empire were alternating or inheriting relationships, with some restorations in between. Who knew that the "War of the Four Emperors" described by Mr. Door clearly and unmistakably revealed one point: the three great dynasties had once coexisted simultaneously!
"If this is true, it would really overturn most of the current historical research on the Fourth Epoch." Klein suddenly thought of the original owner. He was full of interest in archaeology and exploring the history of the Fourth Epoch.
Today, I have fulfilled a wish for him, I suppose... I wonder if the God of Death had already become a true deity during the "War of the Four Emperors". It's hard to judge this from Mr. Door's account. I can only first assume that the "Underworld Emperor", through the benefits reaped in the War of the Four Emperors, broke through his limits and became a god, but went mad because of it... A god can also go mad. How terrifying! Just thinking about the details makes one tremble from the bottom of their heart! No wonder the well-traveled Emperor Roselle had to describe this as horrifying... Could it be that the so-called evil gods are just orthodox gods that have gone mad? Could there come a day when only evil gods are left in the whole world... Sigh... Does this mean an irreversible doomsday is coming? Klein used a smile to cover his increasingly solemn mood, feeling that the future he imagined was filled with a gray tone.
At the same time, he raised his estimation of the "Black Emperor", the "Blood Emperor", and the "Emperor of the Night", believing they were top-tier powerhouses close to deities.
"Perhaps they are Sequence 1, beings at the pinnacle of a single Pathway. Following this logic, the Black Emperor living for hundreds or thousands of years is not an unacceptable thing. A doubt the original owner had has also been answered. He deduced a conclusion that contradicted his tutor's views from the records of the
"I wonder who Mr. Door could be in the history of the Fourth Epoch... Emperor Roselle didn't describe his erroneous experiments and accidental coincidences in detail, making it impossible for me to even try to have a conversation with that Mr. Door."
"The Law of Beyonder Characteristics Indestructibility, the Law of Beyonder Characteristics Conservation within Adjacent Sequences, this is similar to what the Captain felt. Perhaps the vocabulary he used was passed down from Emperor Roselle."
"According to these two laws described by Mr. Door, many interesting guesses can indeed be derived. For example, the Seven Churches, which have so many Sacred Artifacts and so many High Sequence powerhouses, should not have many Low Sequence Beyonders. But this contradicts reality. The only reasonable explanation is an extra blessing from the deities?"
