Chapter 214: Sasrir is the True Creator

"But at least humanity won't fall to its previous state again, right?" Sasrir smiled, clearly very happy, and looked at Lynn, suddenly reaching out to ruffle his hair.

"Lynn, I know you're sad for us, or rather for me, but I'm really glad. You telling me this good news is better than any dream I could have ever imagined."

Even with a steadfast will to change the plight of humanity and restore its glory, both the Ancient Sun God and Sasrir knew it was a very difficult task.

No matter how determined they appeared, they were never 100% sure they could succeed. The difficulties before them were immense—the mad ancient gods, the extraordinary races inherently stronger than humans, and the world's hostile environment for ordinary mortals constantly reminded them how hard their goal was.

The dual-pathway true gods were strong, and the King of Angels who could use the power of the Chaos Sea was strong too. But in a world where the fall of an Ancient God could happen in the blink of an eye, even the Sun God could not guarantee that they wouldn't fall due to some unexpected event, nor could they ensure the survival of the small human haven they had created.

Thus, Sasrir was always meticulously handling various divine matters, ensuring the smooth operation of this small nation while eliminating any potential threats to the mortals within. The Sun God, on the other hand, was constantly seeking allies and gathering intelligence to increase humanity's chances of future success.

So for Sasrir, Lynn's news was indeed a good one, like a beautiful dream come true.

Lynn, who had been caught off guard by the head ruffle, initially frowned in displeasure, but then sighed as he saw Sasrir's smile. Finally, he said, "Sasrir, now I feel like my original question is hard to ask..."

"Sorry, Lynn. So, what is it that you wanted to ask?" Sasrir withdrew his hand and looked at Lynn warmly.

"My question is simple, Sasrir. Do you still believe that you are the True Creator?" Lynn looked at Sasrir and finally asked the question that concerned him the most.

"Is He a completely different person from you, or just a mad version of you?"

Hearing this, Sasrir wasn't too surprised. He thought for a few seconds before responding, "That is probably me, but not entirely. The dominant personality of the True Creator you described should indeed be mine, but mixed with other things. You aren't wrong to see Him as a mad version of me."

Pausing for a moment, Sasrir continued, "I'm sorry to show you the fallen me. You must be very disappointed."

Lynn frowned, then pouted, "Disappointed? Not really. It's not like you chose to go mad... it just feels a bit embarrassing."

Sasrir looked puzzled.

Lynn couldn't help but cover his face, feeling like he couldn't face anyone.

He had just talked tough to the True Creator!

And besides that...

'But Sasrir did go mad. My resistance to the mad god is normal...' Lynn, though momentarily feeling socially dead, quickly comforted himself.

'From the perspective of Sasrir being the True Creator, if I want to change Sasrir's fate, it means I want Sasrir to snap out of madness. Is there anything wrong with that? No!'

'However...' Thinking of the infamous deeds of the True Creator in the Fifth Epoch, Lynn couldn't help but rub his temples.

Now that Sasrir had confirmed that the True Creator was indeed his mad self, Lynn felt he couldn't let the True Creator continue his madness.

The past damages couldn't be undone, but at least he could restrain the members of the Aurora Order from causing more trouble, urging them to lead a more disciplined life and be proper followers.

'But the Fifth Epoch True Creator is too far gone, almost anyone who believes in Him goes mad, leading to a vicious cycle...' Lynn thought that saving the Fifth Epoch True Creator might be hopeless. At best, he could try to restrain the Aurora Order and improve the True Creator's reputation, preventing further evil deeds.

Truly changing the mad state of the True Creator would require efforts from his other identities.

The First Identity could change the problem at its source, preventing Sasrir's madness from the beginning.

To safeguard against the First Identity's potential failure, Lynn decided to put effort into the Fourth Epoch, where the True Creator wasn't as insane and still had normal followers. This state was salvageable.

He would think about how to alter the current state of madness before the True Creator became a universally condemned evil god, bringing Him back to Sasrir's former self.

Lynn had no clear plan but knew ensuring the True Creator had more Anchors wouldn't be a bad direction.

'The upcoming tea party of the gods might be more useful than I thought. Both the Evernight Goddess and the Earth Mother could potentially be allies...'

'In the Fifth Epoch, maybe I should meet Ouroboros. He could restrain the True Creator's followers better than I could. Besides, although the True Creator did many things in the original story, none of them really succeeded. It might be better not to do them at all...'

Lynn's mind raced with ideas and plans, but he was suddenly interrupted by a flick to his forehead.

"Ow, Sasrir, have some heart! I'm thinking about how to help you! Do you know the mess you'll leave for me to clean up?" Lynn held his head, grumbling.

"Sorry, but I can guess..." Sasrir said, looking at Lynn with a slightly helpless smile. "But that's not just your responsibility, Lynn. I know you want to save me, but you don't need to shoulder all the burden yourself. You're still a child, and children should act like children."

"Asking for help from adults isn't shameful."
