Chapter 52: Sin God

"Oh?"

The Old God was somewhat surprised by this question and looked at the person from the future:

"You actually know this? I originally thought that in the future, such a name had already disappeared.

Old Gods are the first thirteen gods, the gods truly born with the world. They represent the origin of the world and the power of the world. But the Old Gods have long since fallen; there is no need to doubt this point, but their power is exceptionally powerful. Even if they fall, the power still exists. I suppose your appearance here is because of the power of that Old God of Time. And we, these Old Gods..."

In the language used by the Saint in front of him, aside from the meaning of "Old God" commonly used with Deraerion, the outsider actually interpreted the meaning of "Sin God."

"What exactly happened in the past? This world, in the end..."

His chaotic thinking was almost unable to think.

"Leave. Past history will also cause a burden on the mortal soul. Those stories have long since gone; dust to dust, earth to earth, all have gone... Mortals looking at us is not a good thing. Leave, person of the future."

"But!"

"This is for your own good. However, I am the God of Innocence, the protector of children. Child from the future, since you could appear here before I completely left, it shows that we must have a connection of fate. Since you are still unwilling to leave, do you want to hear a story?"

"Child from the future?"

Xia De was puzzled by this form of address:

"Could it be because my soul has been in this world for too short a time, so it thinks I am a child?"

But he at least understood the meaning of "story" for a Ring Warlock, so he cheered up and nodded, letting himself be able to listen to all the following information.

The Old God, who was clearly very young but had an inexplicably old temperament, sighed softly:

"My story is actually very boring. I was born from the infinite illusions of children, possessing their purest thoughts.

Once, I used my own power to create an eternal fire and an eternal spring for that most beautiful witch princess. But she demanded immortality from me; I could not do it, because this is not a wish a child should have, so I left her."

【You listened to the story of the Old God "Innocent Creator" and learned one of the miracles of the Old God "Innocent Creator".】

【You obtained the Spell, False Immortality. You possess the ability to keep a severely injured person from dying for half an hour.】

"Mortals are destined to die; false immortality is only a ridiculous consolation."

The Old God sighed, then pushed forward, and the outsider who was shocked in the toy store flew backward automatically like a marionette.

"See you next time, person of the future. May the great power of time and creation protect you."

He crashed open the store door, passed through the thick white fog behind, and then fell heavily onto the floor of the living room in Room 1, second floor of No. 6 St. Deran Plaza.

【Outsider, you have returned to the present time.】

【Message from the Old God "Father of the Infinite Tree":】

【Task incomplete.】

【Time Key; Fifth Era-1068-Innocent Creator, damaged 1/3.】

【Next time to open time, need to wait for one week.】

"Isn't it said to be a disposable item?"

Xia De, although pale, first inserted his hand into his pocket, and his hand touched the key covered in cracks.

"Mr. Hamilton, how was the journey?"

Professor Garcia's curious voice came from behind. He did not see Xia De's face and could not guess what had just happened.

Xia De's heart was pounding. In a short few seconds, he had already completed all his thinking. He turned around very slowly, not hiding the paleness of his face:

"1068, Fifth Era, the event is the fall of the Old God."

Although he had left that toy store and the huge pressure brought by the god had disappeared, the damage he received when facing the god just now was still having an effect.

But Professor Garcia's expression became even uglier than Xia De's at this moment in an instant. If it weren't for the fact that he was in a projection ritual state at this moment, he would almost have jumped down:

"What? How could this be? Old God fall!"

He opened his mouth in shock, but immediately looked at Xia De with concern, his not-so-fluent Deraerion speaking very fast, and Xia De almost could not understand:

"I haven't heard of this happening in 1068 before. Mr. Hamilton, are you okay? If this is the case, this key is not Poet-level! It definitely exceeds Angel-level!"

The professor wanted to support Xia De, but could not do so. He clenched his fists and asked anxiously:

"Mr. Hamilton, does the academy need to send a medical team to you?"

"Oh, no."

Professor Garcia's concern and anxiety were real, and Xia De's shock was also real. But what he showed was the fatigue on his face, struggling to walk back to his chair and sit down, slowly narrating his encounter:

"I came to a street, saw a store, and then... I can't remember clearly."

He still felt his head swelling and painful, but he still described the general appearance of Hope Town in detail, and claimed that he wandered on the street for ten minutes before finally seeing the store in the white fog. Then he returned here, and even obtained a new spell.

And this investigation event seemed to be just seeing that store.

"It's a good thing you didn't go in."

Xia De used ten minutes to describe his ten-minute experience. Professor Garcia was full of lingering fear, and Xia De actually saw sweat on the professor's transparent cheeks:

"It's a good thing you didn't go in, it's a good thing you didn't go in! Damn it, I'm going to make the student who investigated this Fifth Era 1068 time point repeat a year until 1860! He actually said that time point was completely safe and nothing happened!"

Now it was 1853 of the Sixth Era, and Xia De was very worried for that unknown St. Byrons student.

"You don't need to write the investigation report for this event; I'll help you write it. I will report your time travel this time to the academy exactly as it is; the academy will not let you suffer! Damn it, there's a worm in the Department of History! Who on earth said 1068 of the Fifth Era was safe... Mr. Hamilton, are you really okay?"

When angry, even a few Karsenrik words popped out, fortunately, Xia De could understand them all.

"I want to sleep, I feel my spirit is scattered and I cannot concentrate. Oh, sir, I am really too tired."

Xia De slumped in his original chair, but in fact, his spirit recovered very quickly; that 【Innocent Creator】 gave him appropriate protection.

"Alright, you rest first. After you get the mailed poem manuscript page tomorrow, if you have any physical discomfort, please contact the academy immediately. Damn it, I must make that guy who wrote the investigation report for Fifth Era-1068 repeat a year, repeat a year until 1870!"

Another ten years of student life added.

"Sorry, Professor Garcia, I am really too tired."

Xia De said the words to send the guest away very impolitely. The professor with pointed ears understood his meaning:

"You don't need to worry, as long as you return to the present time, all damage received in the past will disappear, so the damage you received is only because you think you received damage. It's just that you actually saw the dwelling of a god... Mr. Hamilton, go rest quickly, remember to contact me if you have any problems. Be very careful, pay attention to your physical health, oh, poor young man, actually encountering such a thing~"

Looking at Xia De with concern, but still stood up and left. Although Professor Garcia looked strict, he was indeed very concerned about his students. ===== CHAPTER 53 =====
