Chapter 103: Consensus

"At most a few hundred years remain before the true 'God' returns; you don't have much time left either."

The lamp spirit stared fixedly at Chumen, "He will definitely move against you once He wakes up."

"Even if He has learned a profound lesson, He will still attempt to devour you."

"Without mastering the 'Dream' Authority, you absolutely cannot escape." The lamp spirit seemed very certain of this point.

"I will kill Him first." Chumen's expression was calm.

"Kill Him? You, in your current state?" The lamp spirit's gaze fell upon the Dream Book.

"Heh, you will come to ask me." The lamp spirit looked at Chumen and suddenly laughed; he transformed directly into a beam of golden light and dove back into the Wishing Lamp.

"An Oldest One is, after all, very difficult to deceive." He did not possess a "weapon" against the lamp spirit like "Sefirah Castle."

Chumen shook his head lightly, bent down to pick up the Wishing Lamp, and specifically placed it into a Space pocket to be accessed at any time; among all the powers he could utilize, the Wishing Lamp could likely rank in the top three.

After meeting certain conditions, it could indeed employ power above the Sequence.

"Sigh, this is a bit tricky." Chumen sighed softly; aside from that most important answer, the information the lamp spirit had revealed was already sufficient.

As for that so-called most important answer, it was nothing more than those few possibilities.

……

Clang!

In the Dream Kingdom, Chumen stood upon a manifested clock tower, holding a bell hammer and striking the great bell.

The ethereal and melodious bell toll resonated through the connection of the Dream Book in the hearts of Dream believers across the entire world; even many Dream believers on a cosmic scale heard this bell toll that could cleanse the soul.

Hum!

The entire clock tower trembled and vibrated, transforming into scattered Dream Phosphor, and Chumen stepped out from within it, sitting down in his own seat.

In just a few moments, three figures condensed from the void and arrived at the Dream Kingdom.

"Everyone, long time no see." Chumen greeted the three with a smile.

"It really was you who returned." Sasriel looked at Chumen and nodded slightly.

For the past few hundred years, because Chumen was in the Starry Sky, the Dream Council had been suspended.

Now that he had returned, he naturally became the link once again to convene the Dream Council.

"Everyone has also become a god; it is truly a joyous and congratulatory occasion." Chumen himself also fully possessed the "Imagination" Authority, so he naturally counted as having become a god.

The Dream Council had truly become a Council of Gods.

"The topic of this meeting concerns you." Chumen looked directly at Sasriel.

"Me?" Sasriel was stunned.

"The organization has decided that you are likely going to die." Chumen, Amanises, and Lilith all looked at Sasriel.

For a moment, Sasriel felt terrifying pressure.

"The awakening of that Being is inevitable; there are at most a few hundred years left, and we need to prepare in advance." Chumen set the tone.

"Where did you get this news?" Sasriel frowned as he looked at Chumen.

"The will of an Oldest One sealed on Earth; He said that the current Creator Kingdom already bears the aura of that Being."

"I imagine you should have sensed it as well."

Chumen pushed everything onto the lamp spirit; the judgment of an Oldest One was more persuasive.

"……" Sasriel fell silent, and finally nodded.

"I have already made sufficient preparations, but it is still difficult to have enough certainty."

"But to seek life through death, to dilute the madness—this is the final choice. What if I truly die?"

Sasriel discussed this issue without avoidance; upon learning that the will of that Being was already influencing the current Creator, He had already been seeking a way to save Himself.

It was just that for that Being, most of the methods one could think of were ineffective, and the remaining choices were only those few.

Among them, rebirth through death was the final and most dangerous choice.

"Very well, we have reached a consensus; if you ultimately cannot rely on yourself to suppress the awakening of that Being, we will be your final redemption."

"If we are truly to carry out this final redemption plan, the few of us are far from enough." Amanises said softly.

"Therefore, I suggest establishing another hidden organization outside of Dream with more people participating; the members would be all the gods, or perhaps plus certain Kings of Angels!"

"This organization can be called—'Rose Redemption'!"

Chumen directly called for the establishment of "Rose Redemption," leaving the other three speechless for a moment.

"……Why do I feel like you harbor unprecedented enthusiasm for the matter of killing me?!" Sasriel's gloomy voice rang out, causing both Goddesses to nod.

"Ahem! Purely a coincidence, it's all an illusion!" Chumen coughed lightly; in his excitement, he had spilled everything out.

But since it had come to this, Chumen went on to state the remaining details as well.

"The location for the gathering can be placed at the Giant King's Court……"

"Sasriel, you are responsible for summoning the Kings of Angels of the Creator Church."

"Amanises, you are responsible for everything else besides that."

"Lilith……"

Chumen reached out and summoned a patch of Dream Phosphor, creating an exhaustive schedule on the spot and sending it into everyone's hands.

"I…… thank you!" Sasriel held that schedule, looking somewhat gritted-teeth.

It was so detailed that even He Himself felt it could truly allow Him to complete His suicide……

And after the suicide, it would be time for Sasriel to improvise; sensitive things like the method of resurrection could not be discussed here.

"I have arranged everything for you, but whether it succeeds in the end still depends on yourself!"

No matter how detailed their plan was here, the most important point remained the struggle between the Creator and "God."

And the final step of resurrection……

"Before the final moment arrives, I will not give up on your redemption!"

This is the heaviest promise Chumen can make.

The opponent is the Omniscient and Omnipotent "God"...

If it is said that they in the late Second Epoch were creating history, pushing the tide, and flowing downstream.

Then what Chumen must do now is to go against the current, to truly attempt to save this Creator.

"There is another very important external factor." Chumen looked around, then directly pointed his finger at the Starry Sky above his head.

"Outer God?" Since becoming a deity, Lilith had been vigilant against the Moon at every moment, and she took this topic very seriously.

"The Barrier is still very solid for now." Amanises also spoke up.

This is the consensus of everyone.

"I took a trip to the Starry Sky, and the most important conclusion I obtained from it is..." Chumen looked at his own Dream Starry Sky, "Never underestimate any Outer God."

"We cannot wait for them to strike; we need to take the initiative to find suitable methods of defense."

The other three were all extremely unsettled, each silent as they digested this news.

They trusted Chumen, but the danger they would have to face this way was too terrifying.

Finally, Sasriel looked at the plan in his hand and suddenly smiled.

"Fine, then let's begin."
