A pale star is spinning endlessly in the universe.
It obviously does not revolve around a star, but the sun still rises and sets. Its entire surface is covered with a thick layer of "pale mist", so it looks like a bright white ball... That is actually not the "atmosphere", but a "cover-up" laid by a supreme being through unknown means.
This concealment is enough to make this star named "Beretania" unknown to any life or civilization outside the starry sky... Even the existence beyond the sequence is no exception.
So much so that it will be extremely hidden and safe in the entire vast starry universe.
And this planet is the hometown of the great Lord of Destiny.
Next to this huge pale star, there is another relatively small, azure blue star, which is called "Azure Star" and is currently a "satellite" of the star Beretania.
In the history of the Beretania world, there had been no previous record of its existence. It was only later that people discovered one night in the Pale Calendar that two moons suddenly appeared in the bright starry sky.
One is bright white, the other is azure blue.
The bright white moon naturally originates from the "Pale Lady", the incarnation of the "Moon Goddess" Floinspater, and her manifestation in the world.
As for the Blue Moon...
There is only one explanation.
The Church of Dawn, the most powerful church in the world of Beretania, states in the first chapter of the latest revised edition of the Bible, The Canon of Blue—
The birth of "Azure Star" was created by the great Lord of Destiny with supreme power. It is her second "kingdom of God" besides the fairyland.
That world is full of mystery and magic. The residents there are integrated with steel, can travel in flying carriages, and everyone has a communication "watch" and "dressing mirror", which is fascinating.
The two stars "Beretania" and "Azure" are like lovers who wait for each other and support each other in this dead and dark starry sky.
In fact, in the vast area further outward from the two stars, there is always an invisible pale galaxy filling, floating, and surrounding them. It is a cosmic wonder composed of countless "white holes."
But even the high-ranking people in the world of Beretania, or the most advanced technology in the world of Azure, could not observe this wonder...
Only the gods, by virtue of their own status and abilities, can vaguely sense that there is such a force surrounding and protecting the world.
They understand each other tacitly and are very clear in their minds.
That is the part of the body that the Lord of Fate left in his hometown, to protect and accompany him forever...

Early morning of August 1, 62nd year of the Cangbai calendar.
The sun rises from the east, casting bright and brilliant sunshine.
Several goldfinches chirped and played, flying happily through the air, leaving behind several brilliant trails.
The only country in the Anita continent, the Dawn Empire.
Royal City, the bustling center of Amberspet.
The streets here are neat and orderly, and the solid and beautiful marble pavement sparkles in the sunlight. If you look closely, you can even find delicate patterns on the surface.
The pattern is full of the outstanding craftsmen's love for the empire and their piety for the new era.
Eight shiny black steel tracks crisscrossed in graceful arcs and were embedded in the ground at the intersection. Not long after, a tram blew its whistle and drove along the tracks. The gentlemen and ladies on the roadside were not surprised.
With the rapid changes in the new era, new things emerge in an endless stream, and people have long been accustomed to it.
Some elderly gentlemen stopped, took off their hats and saluted the passing tram, showing their respect and gratitude.
"Under the leadership of Queen Anna, the Dawn Empire is becoming more and more prosperous. The new era is getting better day by day..."
An old man, leaning on his walking stick, sighed to his companions.
"Who says it isn't? Old Zago!"
My companion had a head full of white hair, his mouth was open revealing broken teeth, and a smile was on his face.
"It was last Wednesday or Thursday, when the city government just announced the latest policy of the royal meeting. Citizens over the age of 16 are eligible to participate in the 'Dawn Baptism' and go to the Dawn Cathedral to receive blessings... My grandson Leiman came back yesterday and shouted excitedly, 'Grandpa Dyson, guess where I was?! Under the witness of the gods, I went to Mr. Infinity's second kingdom of God, the Azure Star!'"
“Looking back, it’s incredible…”
Old Zago shook his head.
The empire survived the natural disasters and eternal night brought about by the war between gods in the early days, and after more than 60 years of development, it has become its prosperous present day.
The old man has experienced and witnessed the entire history personally.
His eyes swept across the high-rise buildings lined up on the roadside, the various high-end shops with colorful decorations, and the powered signs with eye-catching colorful fonts.
On the streets, black fuel-powered cars can be seen everywhere.
"Newspaper! Freshly-pressed newspaper!"
At this time, a young newspaper boy wearing a beret, wearing the uniform of "Babbib Newspaper", riding a simple and atmospheric silver-white electric bicycle, was selling things along the way.
"Child, give me two newspapers and a pack of Ding Ding cigarettes."
Old Zago stopped the newsboy.
"Yes, sir."
The newsboy smiled happily, stopped his electric bike skillfully, took out the newspaper and cigarettes from the trunk, and handed them to the old man.
"A total of 95 copper kro."
"Give."
The old man took out his wallet and paid nine banknotes and five copper coins.
This banknote is the latest currency issued by the Imperial Bank, with the Queen's portrait printed on it. Of course, the largest denomination "Gold Pound" has portraits of the gods.
"Thank you, sir. May the gods of fairyland look after you."
The newsboy thanked him, rode away on his electric bicycle, and continued selling along the way.
The two old gentlemen simply stood there, smoking cigarettes and reading today's newspaper.
Soon, both of them changed their expressions at the same time.
"Is Queen Anna seriously ill again?"
They looked at the headlines in the newspapers with worry on their faces.
This was the third time Queen Anna had been seriously ill. Although she was taken care of meticulously by the Natural Cult, the legendary queen was just an ordinary person after all. Years of hard work and the advanced age of 93 made it inevitable that she would reach the end of her life.
Countless people in the empire are very concerned and worried about this.
"It happens that this place is not far from the Black Messenger Square. Let's go to the Dawn Cathedral and pray for Her Majesty Queen Anna."
The old gentleman Zago suggested.
"Well, let's go."
The white-haired companion sighed and nodded.
"Gods above, may Her Majesty be in good health."

When the two old men walked into the Dawn Cathedral, many believers had already gathered there to pray, including men, women, young and old, and each of them had a deep sorrow on their face.
In today's empire, there is almost no citizen who is not grateful to the legendary Queen Annatrixul. People love her even more than the gods, second only to the great "Mr. Infinity" and "The Prideful Sun".
After all, the good life in the new era is due to her various policies. People have almost witnessed with their own eyes the promulgation of regulations that benefit the people, and have personally felt the happy atmosphere that is completely different from the old era.
At this moment in the Dawn Cathedral, believers were singing hymns in unison following the priest on the pulpit.
But what no one noticed was that there was a dark-skinned man in a suit and tie, sitting in the corner of the church, looking down at a copy of the "Cang Bible".
This person's red tie is particularly eye-catching.
The man listened to the hymns and prayers in the church and read the Bible silently for a while. Then he slowly raised his head, looking past the middle-aged gray-robed priest on the platform and staring at the mural behind him.
The relief mural depicts a dinner scene.
The six true gods, Prideful Sun, Moon Goddess, King of Slaughter, Lady Gloom, Past Guest and Lady Sigh, were seated. Lucy Payne, the "Angel of Stars", was serving as a maid at the table, pouring wine for the gods.
On one side of the seat, Mr. Jingyao and Miss Shengshu, two former true gods, were sitting. On the ground, a white cat with deer antlers, a small statue of a lady and a silver snake were chatting.
High up behind the gods, a black-hooded figure sat on a throne.
I couldn't see her face clearly.
Almost all Dawn believers know that this existence is "Mr. Infinity" who protects the world, and the gods prefer to call her "King of the Blue" or "Lord of the Fall".
"Your Majesty, the Lord of the Fall..."
The man in the red tie smiled, his white teeth forming a sharp contrast with his dark skin.
The man slowly took out a mahogany music box, twisted the spring at the back of the box a few times, and then opened the lid.
Card!
Accompanied by the eerie yet soothing jingle-dong music, the little wooden doll in a suit and tie danced in the box.
All the believers present, including the clergy of the Church of Dawn who were mid-sequence transcendents, did not hear the sound of music, nor did they notice anything unusual about the dark-skinned man.
Soon, the surrounding vision began to become blurred and distorted.
It seemed as if all the people, objects, and even all the sounds in the cathedral were fading away, leaving only the dark-skinned man with the red tie and the murals on the podium.
"You are the door to a great chapter, the beginning of a grand epic..."
"You are the final act of the highest drama, the end of all myths..."
"You are the master of the fairyland and the spirit world, you are the great god of the foreign land, you are the infinite master who controls destiny..."
"Lord of the Fall of Fate, God of the Joys and Sorrows of All Things, Your Majesty Jackspeter, please cast your gaze. I am a humble messenger, delivering a message for another great being."
The man with the red tie bowed his head and prayed respectfully.
Not long after, an invisible gaze descended and enveloped this person.
"Nete Sofitel..."
The deep and magnetic male voice sounded in the mind of the man with the red tie in an incomprehensible way.
"Most of the ancient gods have perished along with the 'Midnightly Cult', but you are the only one who has not passed away, um..."
The male voice hesitated for a moment, as if he had discovered Knight Sofitel's true identity, and then chuckled and said:
"So that's how it is. You are not a servant or angel of the 'Azure Holy Flame', nor are you her believer or messenger... You are 'data' born with the authority of 'Bubble'. Or can we call you a true 'outsider'?"
"Nothing can be hidden from your eyes, the noble and great Lord of the Fall of Fate... I am deeply terrified by the deception I once had. In fact, I came here with the power that affects the authority of 'Vabulous'. I have two missions. One is to observe, to observe your legendary journey, and the other is to convey, to convey the true will of my Lord."
"Messenger," Natsofit replied respectfully.
"oh?"
There was a hint of interest in the male voice's indifferent tone.
"Who is the Lord you believe in? What are his wishes?"
"she… "
Upon hearing this, Knight Sofitel took a deep breath, his face full of piety and fanaticism.
"She is as powerful and unpredictable as you are. I am sorry that I cannot speak her name directly, just like the people in this world cannot speak your name directly... But please believe me, I dare not lie, and I come with the goodwill of my Lord."
"bona fide… "
The male voice chuckled.
"Do unknown outer gods also have good intentions?"
"Of course... Because my Lord, like you, has humanity. You are not alone in this vast starry sky."
Nat Sofitel took a deep breath.
After finishing his words, the Lord of Perdition fell into silence for a long time.
I don’t know if it was out of surprise or for some other reason.
“How do I meet her?”
After a while, a deep and attractive voice sounded in Knight Sofitel's mind.
"Lord of the Fallen, you are already an existence that looks down upon the ordinary Old Ones and Outer Gods. You only need to pass through the eleven ultimate gates of the universe and go outside. You will naturally be able to see my Lord... and understand my Lord's true will."
"Yes, I understand."
The male voice responded calmly.
"I'll find out."
"Now that the message has been delivered, my mission has been fully accomplished... It is my greatest honor to witness your legendary journey with my own eyes. I hope that you and my Lord can forge a great friendship."
After saying this, Nat Sofitel bowed his head deeply.
The next second, her body began to collapse and turned into complex pieces of data, which dissipated and disappeared.
Soon, the hymns and prayers in the Dawn Cathedral gradually became louder and returned to normal.
From beginning to end, the people here did not notice the existence of Netsofitel, nor did they hear the conversation just now, as if the two scenes were parallel spaces, independent of each other.

In an unknown, infinitely large pale twisted vortex, at the deepest point billions of light years away.
There is no concept of time or space here.
A gentleman in a black hat sits on a white chair at a bizarre white dining table.
She had a blank expression on her face, with a stiff smile on her lips like a mask, and tears flowed endlessly.
This is a body created by Chen Lun.
In fact, neither the Beretania world nor the Azure world has his form, or in other words, these two worlds can no longer "accommodate" his existence, not even his incarnation.
Because once he arrives, even if one billionth of his power dissipates unconsciously, it will destroy these two worlds.
He is too powerful.
It is so powerful that one has to be careful even when “breathing”.
Especially after he became a "pillar-level" Old One, he began to hunt down the six Old Outer Gods who had roamed outside the world of Beretania in the past. Among them, "Cosmologist", "Eternal Nightmare", "Lord of Filth", "Shadow of Chaos" and "Lord of Plague" were all injured and escaped, only "Wind of Winter Bell" failed to escape and was successfully intercepted and killed by him.
At that time, Chen Lun was in a state of blindness, stupidity and chaos, and was unaware of anything in the outside world, including the process of fighting with "Winter Bell Wind" and the details of how he devoured the opponent. He had no memory of anything...
Later, when he was called back to his humanity and reason by several "anchors of love", he was shocked to find that -
Three source sins have already merged into his body!
In addition to "No Return" and "Ecstasy Feast", there is also the source sin "Land of the Sky" taken from the outer god "Wind of the Winter Bell".
The Three Sources of Sin in the Past…
Chen Lun spontaneously realized his own status, which is enough to be called "pillar level".
The Old Ones or Outer Gods of this level can be called the pillars of the universe.
It is both the existence of rule-making and the rule itself. It is both tangible and intangible. It exists in the present, the past, the future, and even in every corner of the universe.
It can be said that he is omniscient and omnipotent.
But unlike other pillars...
Chen Lun still retains his humanity!
And humanity is the trace and mark of his former life as a human being!
Of course, it was also the source of his constant pain...
At the same time, due to the influence of her own status, authority and power, she suffers endless pain and torture all the time. This pain is beyond the limits of human imagination. It is both sadness and burning, both a strong wind scraping the bones and being torn into pieces... The pain goes deep into the bone marrow, the soul, the spirituality and even the mark of her own existence. It cannot be eliminated or discarded, and can only be endured.
Even if the person with the strongest willpower in the world of Beretania were to bear the pain, even if it was one-tenth of Chen Lun's own pain, he would be in so much pain that he would rather commit suicide.
It can be seen that every second that Chen Lun exists now is a torture that feels like a year for him, which is extremely cruel.
And this is one of the prices Chen Lun pays for his humanity.
He must remain conscious and endure the pain from authority and source sin.
If he had no humanity and was just a blind and foolish great being, he would naturally not react to this pain at all. But if he wanted to maintain his humanity, he would have to endure...
If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight.
It is very appropriate to use it here.
But Chen Lun enjoyed this kind of pain.
Because he would never forget his lover's and his past.
At this moment, Chen Lun was deep in thought while enduring the pain.
Beings of the Transcendent Sequence, whether they are the Old Ones or the Outer Gods, can hardly achieve transcendence in the form of “humans”, or any lower life forms… Most of them are born great, born supreme, and are one with the Source Sin.
You should be special, even unique.
Until today, I heard from the "messenger" Netsofit about another Outer God with human nature...
'It turns out that the influence of the authority of "Foam", the power of game data, comes from the unknown outer god served by Netsofit... Goodwill? True intention? Ha, then let's go and take a look behind the eleven gates to the end of the universe.'
Chen Lun thought to himself, with tears in his eyes and a stiff smile on his face.
He didn't make any movement, but his thoughts turned.
A staircase with infinitely folded space appeared beside him. Chen Lun stood up from the white chair and walked into it...
*
*
*
The eleven gates to the end of the universe are an existence that cannot be understood by humans or even those at high positions in the sequence.
Only the Old Ones and the Outer Gods can open it and pass through it to the end of the universe...
Its form is not the square gate in human cognition, but a "bubble" without a fixed shape. This "bubble" is actually an infinitely compressed space. Even the most tenacious flesh and blood angels, or even true gods, will be squeezed into nothingness in an instant once they are in it.
Therefore, only by becoming one with the source of sin and transcending the existence above the sequence can one pass through the Gate of the End unimpeded.
When Chen Lun opened one door after another and came to the tenth door, the surrounding vision had taken on a grotesque and distorted shape, as if countless arcs and triangles were expanding and shrinking.
The authority of "bubble" that he held seemed to have triggered some condition, and at this moment, an extremely secret message spontaneously emerged -
"Hello friend."
"This is a message I left behind. I hope you will receive it eventually."
"First, I want to tell you a sad news, it involves the truth of the universe... Although you may not believe it, it is true."
"There is such a being. She is the source of 'Original Sin'. Everything in the universe originates from her, including all the Old Ones and Outer Gods. I personally call her 'Original Chaos'... Her breath exhales the Origin of Sin and all things in the universe. Once she inhales, she will absorb everything, causing the universe to collapse and eventually become reincarnation... And the process of this breath should be calculated in countless billions of years, so it seems extremely long, but even so, reincarnation will eventually come."
“I firmly believe that love is the glue that connects all life.”
"The more intelligent life is, the more it will overcome the instinct of killing and aggression, so it will treat everything from a more macro perspective and a more compassionate state of mind... I deeply understand that even the 'pillars' cannot fight against the 'primordial chaos' alone. Only by caring for each other and joining forces can we survive."
"You and I are not blind and foolish. We all know what 'worry' is. If that day comes, everything we care about will no longer exist..."
"You may wonder why I came to you... But unfortunately, I have searched the entire universe and found that you are the only one with 'humanity'. In a sense, among the 'pillars', there are only you and me... Maybe in the future there will be 'allies' joining this action, but now, I need your help... If you are willing to form an alliance, then come to the end of the universe to find me."
Chen Lun floated in front of the tenth gate, feeling surprised.
The entire universe is matter spit out by "primordial chaos"
Once she inhales, the universe will be destroyed and collapse, waiting for the next cycle of "breathing"
Chen Lun couldn't help but fall into silence.
In his heart, he tended to believe the well-intentioned reminder from this unknown Outer God, because as a "pillar"-level existence, it was almost impossible to plot against each other in this way.
There is no need for the other party to deceive.
'If this is true, then it should be quite a long time before the so-called universe collapses... I still have enough time to verify this fact and find a solution.'
Chen Lun thought.
"In that case, why not go meet her?"
He intends to go as invited.
As for the alliance, it would be easier to decide after contact.
But before that, Chen Lun confirmed the "partial body" of himself that was left outside the world of Beretania.
Although this "partial body" only has one percent of her own power, it is enough to kill any Old One Outer God that approaches or passes by.
After confirming that everything was correct, he took a deep breath and stepped into the last door to the end of the universe...

At this time, in the Dawn Cathedral in the center of the royal city.
"Long live Queen Anna!"
"Infinity above, the sun above, may the gods bless you with health and longevity!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Praise you, Your Majesty the Queen!"
Amid the cheers of countless believers, the white-haired queen, surrounded by the Holy Guards of Light and supported by two young maids, walked along the red carpet to the pulpit.
Queen Anna smiled, and although her pale face could not be concealed, her smile was still very contagious.
She waved to the imperial citizens in the audience, expressed her gratitude to everyone, and then spoke some words from the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps because she knew that she would not live long, Annatrixul seemed very relieved. She was not greedy for the supreme power, but there was some regret in her words, saying that she might not be able to see the prosperous future.
The Dawn believers sighed, and many old ladies and ladies shed tears, feeling sad for Queen Anna.
"Everyone!"
Queen Anna said loudly.
Her weak voice was extremely loud at this moment, as if filled with her love for the empire and her expectations for the future.
A pair of cloudy eyes revealed a bright light.
"Even if I am no longer alive, the empire will survive... In the future, there will be better leaders to lead you into a more prosperous new era."
"Your Majesty!"
"Her Majesty Queen Anna!"
The crowd shouted in unison.
At this time, the elderly Dawn Pope Connie, who also had white hair, slowly walked to Queen Anna's side and handed her a cup of holy water.
"This is the 'fountain of youth' left by Mr. Wuxian in the past. It can cure diseases and prolong life... Please drink it."
Connie whispered.
Unexpectedly, Queen Anna shook her head.
"Don't waste it. I know the remaining holy water in the church is running low. Leave it to those who need it more... I know my own situation. Saint Lutina told me the day before yesterday that conventional means can no longer prevent death from approaching, and I don't want to embark on the path of transcendence... The king of the modern empire should not concentrate all his power on himself, otherwise how can he sympathize with the suffering of mortals?"
"well."
Connie sighed.
She has the same temperament as Queen Anna. To be honest, their ideas are somewhat similar. Both of them do not want to step into the mysterious realm and are willing to be an ordinary person.
But in the next moment.
Queen Anna and Pope Connie suddenly heard exclamations from the audience. They turned around and saw many believers staring at them in amazement.
"The Queen... Her Majesty has become younger?!"
"And Connie Pope!"
"Oh my God! It's a miracle! It's a blessing from the gods!"
"Infinity above! Praise the gods!"
“It is the gods who have restored the youth of the beloved Queen Anna and Pope Connie. Long live the empire!
”
Anna and Connie looked at each other, both stunned.
Because what they saw was no longer a white-haired old man, but a young and beautiful girl, only about twenty years old, with an irrepressible vitality that almost burst out from her fair and smooth skin.
"Your Majesty Anna... you?"
Connie whispered.
Queen Anna was also surprised:
"Connie, how did you become so young and beautiful?"
Sudden.
Connie suddenly understood something in her mind. She was startled at first, but then she couldn't hide her joy and excitement. She trembled and whispered:
"It's the power of Mr. Infinite... Destiny Resets!"
"Mr. Infinity?!"
Anna was stunned.
The most powerful being in the world unexpectedly sent down his power to restore her and Connie's youth...
The two elderly people in their nineties looked at each other in silence, looking at each other's beautiful and energetic faces, with a tacit understanding in their hearts.
this…
It is Mr. Wuxian’s “care” for the two of them.
It allows them to maintain their mortal bodies and continue to live in the world.
But what Anna and Connie didn't know was that in a noble manor in a remote town in the empire, two old women who had never married in their lives had also regained their youth.
"Rebecca! You...what happened to you?!"
Ruiyin, who was wearing a floral plaid dress, was looking at Rebecca, who was lying in a rocking chair in the garden basking in the sun, with an incredible look on her face, and said stutteringly.
Rebecca sat up in confusion, and was also confused when she saw the young appearance of her old friend Ruiyin.
After a while.
After the two looked in the mirror and examined their bodies repeatedly, they confirmed that they had indeed returned to their eighteen-year-old state.
This made the two beauty-loving ladies ecstatic.
"It was Mr. Jack... She was the one who sent down the power to give us 'rebirth'..."
Rebecca understood and couldn't help shedding tears.
Rui Yin, who was standing aside, could not help sighing.
