Charles' memory was lost, but for Lily, the sacrifices he made for her still existed.
Although the feelings he had for me were no longer there in his heart, no matter what I became, my feelings for him were still there.
No matter what the future looks like, I can face it with him.
"Lily." Charles called out to the dazzling sun that was constantly burning him as he lay in his arms. "Well, Mr. Charles, I'm here."
Several tentacles like giant towers slowly stretched out from the ground and lifted up the sun. "You should adapt to your body as soon as possible. Close physical contact is only a human behavior. It is unnecessary and not suitable for us now. You need to change."
Lily was suspended in the air again, slowly spinning around the island of flesh and blood. "Yes, I understand."
Charles nodded in satisfaction, and then began to give Lily new orders. "Since you are now the Sun God, you will also inherit the Sun God's plan."
If there is anything that can allow humans to survive on another planet, it is undoubtedly bringing a sun.
"Okay, Mr. Charles." Lily agreed, just like when she took the captain's order on the ship.
The plan of the Goddess of Light is to select a sufficient number of candidates, and when the time is right, she will take these people away from Earthsea.
"Daughter, go and help her." Charles knew that Shanshan's ability could help her mark some good seeds, and when needed, she could send all these people to Lily in an instant.
"Okay." Shanshan's high heels lightly touched the ground and floated into the air.
She arrived above Hope Island, her light mixed with the sunlight of Dawn No. 1, shining into the hole on the ceiling, "looking" at her former companions.
"Everyone! Choose everyone!" Lily immediately thought of her former companions.
The first mate sat in the Governor's Palace silently signing documents.
The boatswain Dipper is working with his wife to track down the criminal.
Chief Engineer Odric sitting in an underground bar drinking blood.
Linda, the ship's doctor, is using her special abilities to treat
and the sailor Norden, who has been re-imprisoned.
These people are Lily's most cherished companions, and they are also Charles' companions. When she heard that she needed to choose someone, she immediately thought of these people.
However, Shanshan's words were like a bucket of cold water poured on Lily's head. "No, Dad said that you can only choose normal humans, deep divers, vampires, immortals, and people who have turned into monsters. These are not within the range of choices."
"Why?!" Lily was extremely dissatisfied with this request.
"Because we are here to save humanity, not anything else. The crew members you mentioned have already strayed away from humanity." Shanshan said, quietly marking Nini and Nini's mother Donna.
"But they are all companions. No, I need to ask him." The anxious giant sun turned around and was about to leave, but his way was blocked by a group of tentacle nodules shining with green fluorescence.
"I advise you not to expect to use past emotions to sway his choice. He has very little humanity left and is unable to consider these issues."
"How can this be! If you really mean it, then he himself doesn't have to leave?" The huge sun retorted with some emotion.
"That's right. He didn't take himself into consideration. He will become a god in one month. His existence will only last for one month. These records are prepared for after his death."
Shanshan soon realized that the sun was not moving, and the other party seemed to be shocked by his words. "Didn't he explain this to you? Well, come to think of it, it seems that you really don't know this."
"Then why doesn't Mr. Charles try to solve this problem? He's going to die soon!"
Lily's words made Shanshan feel a little frustrated. "As a daughter, didn't you think about this? I used to think of many ways to help him and rescue him, but later I found that he could think of everything I could think of."
"He can't solve this problem. From the moment he became a god, his fate was sealed."
Shanshan's voice became a little deeper. "The only thing we can do now is to help him and make sure his sacrifice is not in vain."
Lily seemed unable to accept such an outcome. She had come back with so much difficulty, not just to accompany Mr. Charles for a short month!
The plan of selecting human seeds stopped immediately. Lily was willing to help Charles, but on the premise that he must be alive and well. In her heart, Mr. Charles was more important than anything else!
"We need to save him." The huge sun left Hope Island and returned to the dark sea, moving forward.
"How are you going to save her?" Shanshan really wanted to hear what he would do.
"Continuously stripping away the knowledge in his brain and making him suppress his own growth?" Lily immediately thought of this idea.
"That's my job, but it can only delay it, it can't stop it."
"Dad's ability allows him to see the afterimages of the past and the future. I can only strip away the current knowledge in his brain, but I cannot strip away the knowledge of the past."
"The knowledge from the past is still influencing him, allowing him to grow unstoppably."
Seeing that this method didn't work, Lily quickly thought of another way. "Then let's strip Mr. Charles of his will and get him out of his current god body."
"Sister, don't think about it. Dad is already a god. The will of a god cannot be stripped away. He cannot strip you away, and you cannot strip him away."
"And even if there really was a way, Dad wouldn't want it. He had already made his choice the moment he chose to become a god."
"When the foundation died, even though Dad tried to deny it, he was eventually affected."
Lily then proposed several other solutions, but they were all rejected by Lily. As a god, Charles had already thought of these solutions, but these solutions all had different problems to a greater or lesser extent.
"Time! Modify time! Make time stand still, or make it fall into a time loop. This may be the solution." Lily immediately remembered that she was trapped in the 010 loop.
"Father has naturally thought of this, but time contains too much knowledge. The vast amount of knowledge will instantly turn him into an Idik. Any form of knowledge absorption is poison to him."
"I know, but why should he absorb it? He had no choice in the past, but doesn't he have me now?"
