Chapter 744: A Page from the Diary

Inside the lofty palace above the Gray Fog.

Mr. Fool Klein glanced at "The Sun" he had pulled in earlier and the pre-manifested "The World." At the exact moment, he extended his spirituality, touching the dark red stars representing "Justice," "The Hanged Man," "The Magician," "The Moon," and "The Hermit."

Beams of light rose one after another, and the relatively blurry figures appeared on both sides of the long bronze table.

"Justice" Audrey, who had just returned to the castle from the timber yard, had already changed into a dress. The cuffs were layered with lace, held down by round pearls.

She stood up nimbly and gracefully, lifted her hem, and curtsied: "Good afternoon, Mr. Fool~"

Klein's mood lifted considerably. He smiled and nodded in response.

At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "Even a newly minted wealthy man costs this much money. Just how much does a noble like Miss 'Justice' spend on a daily basis..."

After the members greeted each other, he leisurely looked at "The Hermit," knowing that this pirate admiral would most likely provide another new page of Roselle's diary.

As he expected, "The Hermit" Cattleya spoke up first: "Mr. Fool, I only managed to gather a single page of Roselle's diary this time."

Only one page? Can't the "Mystery Queen" just take out a whole book? Klein, who had been thoroughly tested these past few days, showed no sign of abnormality and nodded slightly: "That's not a problem."

Cattleya immediately manifested a yellowish-brown diary page and watched as it fell into Mr. Fool's hand in a manner that resembled traveling through the Spirit World.

Klein pretended to look down casually, slightly surprised to find that the beginning of this page of the diary had no corresponding date.

That is to say, this was the second page of a connected diary... Why didn't Bernadette bring the first page? She should be able to make a preliminary distinction. Even Old Neil could do it... Could it be that she doesn't have it? Or is the diary completely jumbled, making it difficult for her to restore the correct order? Does this mean that after the fall of Emperor Roselle, his belongings were scrambled for and scattered by various forces, and Bernadette was powerless to resist at the time, only starting to do this after she became the "Mystery Queen"?.. As he speculated, Klein quickly read the content on the page: "It truly exceeded my expectations. The history of the Fourth Epoch revealed by Mr. Door is getting more and more interesting.

"This poor guy, trapped in the storm and lost in the depths of darkness, told me that the Black Emperor died once and resurrected.

"This coincides strikingly with some things mentioned inside that ancient secret organization. At that gathering, they said that if the Black Emperor's nine secret mausoleums are not completely destroyed, even if this deity walking among mortals truly perishes, He can awaken and be reborn from one of those mausoleums.

"Even if all nine mausoleums are destroyed, as long as some of the order established by the Black Emperor remains, He can miraculously resurrect and return. Only the birth of a new Black Emperor can completely annihilate Him, never to appear again.

"According to Mr. Door, the process of the Black Emperor's resurrection has three stages. First, the 'Uniqueness' separates from its owner, becoming conceptualized and abstracted. Second, the subjects of the Black Emperor once again hear the majestic voice of this deity. Third, the Black Emperor, having fused with the 'Uniqueness,' reappears in the 'Astral World,' and the three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics automatically return to their Emperor. This is an order that no other True God can reverse or prevent.

"Thus, the Blood Emperor and the Night Emperor, who were also Princes of Abolition of Sequence 1 of this Pathway, were in a rather awkward position. They would likely instantly drop in rank and regress to Sequence 2. Mr. Door said that at the time, the Lord of Storms and the Goddess of the Night chose the Night Emperor, helping Him switch to a nearby Beyonder pathway, which was the Pathway of The Hierophant. The Tudor-Trunsoest United Empire thus split.

"Cornered, the Blood Emperor, Alista Tudor, made a crazy decision: to switch to a non-adjacent Beyonder pathway and, at the cost of losing his mind and going mad, forcibly advance to become a True God.

"I must say, this decision was utterly irrational and had almost no chance of success. But Mr. Door told me that Alista Tudor succeeded in the end. The maddest True God was born!

"This is truly incredible, but Mr. Door didn't go into the specific details and held something back.

"I asked Him, which is harder to accept, madness or death? He said, of course, death, because as long as one is alive, even if they are completely insane, there is a way to recover.

"He gave an example with a laugh: a mad True God can instinctively mate with all kinds of beings, producing various offspring. In this process, if one is lucky enough, all the conflicting Beyonder characteristics will be expelled, and the madness will gradually improve over a long period of time.

"Mr. Door deliberately didn't say what problems this would leave behind, nor did He explain why almost no one makes a similar choice. But I could tell that there must be a huge hidden danger in this.

"I have to admit, Mr. Door's understanding of True Gods far exceeds what I imagined. Before He was exiled, He was very likely already attempting to make a breakthrough to Sequence 0... No wonder He has nothing but contempt for Zaratul and no respect whatsoever for the True Gods.

"I want to return Him to the real world even less now."
