Alien Paradise.

Chapter 403 Back to the Source
"Can anyone tell me what is going on?" Jiaya asked distressedly.

The God of Hidden Mist looked at Chaoyang, who nodded, "Let me explain... This matter has to start from another future."

The chat lasted half an hour.

Everyone at the scene was surprised after hearing this. Even Shadow sighed, "So, the evil god has already succeeded once... No wonder your chosen one attacked me at that time. I thought you had been corrupted by the evil god's power, but it turns out there is a reason behind it. To be honest, this is indeed... too unbelievable."

"Yes." Chaoyang believed it. They went back from the future to the past and changed the past history. When they returned again, it was no longer the original future. The timeline was completely changed, and the past and the present were perfectly integrated. In theory, this would lead to a lot of paradoxes in the world, just like if a grandfather lost his son, could he still be born? But at present, the changes in the Acropolis seem to be limited to the Acropolis itself, which is really incredible. "If I hadn't experienced it myself, I'm afraid I wouldn't believe it."

"So Barif was actually the real lord of paradise at that time, and his public death on the execution platform was all an act?" Enkui felt her head buzzing. She could never have imagined that the great god would be involved with a murderer.

"To be precise, it was Barif after September 9th." Elodie corrected, "Because from the beginning we knew that the real enemy was the evil god rather than the Phlogiston Company, so we had to act with caution."

"No, you misunderstood me. I am a loyal believer of the Paradise Church. Of course, I don't think that the things the killer did were done by God." She bowed solemnly to Chaoyang again. "But I still hope that this matter can be kept unknown to a few people. After all, Barif's image is too bad. If it gets out, it may damage the reputation of God."

"But... what you said can't be proven, right?" Jiaya racked her brains for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of ​​sorting out the clues. "The evil god actually entrusted humans to go to the past and free themselves from the trap... And this evil god is still "unknown", so he shouldn't have the power to manipulate time."

"I really can't prove it, because the future has been completely changed." Chaoyang admitted frankly, "The Acropolis avoided becoming a ruin, that's for those who experienced it; but for the people here, the Acropolis has never been abandoned. I'm just telling you the whole story, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"Lord Shadow, I can testify for him." Resk stood up and said, "Although I was hung on the execution rack when I arrived at the Acropolis fifteen years ago and died not long after, but before that, the Acropolis was indeed shrouded in heavy fog, which is also known to the world."

"I can also testify..."

Before Kokomochi could speak, the God of the Hidden Mist interrupted her, "No need, I believe in the Lord of Paradise. In fact, there has been a strange phenomenon in the city in the past fifteen years. I have never been able to find out the reason, but now I roughly know what it is."

"What phenomenon?" Chaoyang asked.

"People in the Acropolis cannot pass on information to the outside world, especially information related to the Paradise Cult."

"Ah? Is that so?" Enkui was slightly stunned.

"Haven't you always wanted to publicize the deeds of the Lord of Paradise and contribute to the Paradise Church?" Shadow smiled lightly, which was rare, as if he had unloaded a burden from his heart. "What was the result? We sent out many envoys and caravans, but after they came back, none of them remembered their mission. Just like you now."

In the sun, he took a cold breath, and he immediately realized that the problem was.

Isn’t this ability a replica of the God of Hidden Mist?

"No, it's stronger than my power, because it selectively blocks memories and only takes effect when leaving the Acropolis. After returning to the Acropolis, those people are still believers of Paradise, but they have completely forgotten to publicize this matter. I always thought that this was caused by the residual power of the evil god, and the crisis of the city has not been completely resolved, but now it seems that it should be a kind of barrier left by the evil god to prevent the two futures from being too different." So that's why she looked relieved, Chaoyang thought. In the past fifteen years, she was not just waiting, but still preparing for the battle with the evil god.

"I really don't remember anything about this, but doesn't this mean that the Paradise Church has been trapped in the Acropolis forever?" Enkui said worriedly.

That's not the case. Although the Paradise Church in the Acropolis appeared fifteen years ago, the Paradise Church in the Brilliant Castle, which was established this year, is the boss. But before Chaoyang could speak, the God of Hidden Mist took the lead and said, "Don't worry. Since it appeared to prevent the future from being too different, it will most likely be eliminated due to the overlap in the future. Now the key person for the overlap has arrived..."

She looked towards the rising sun. "You came to the Acropolis for the heart of the hunting god, right? It is now preserved in the ruins of the beach cave and has not been moved to this day."

Chaoyang nodded. "I was wondering on the way here, what the cave looks like now."

"Nothing has changed. I asked the Paradise Cult to seal the cave entrance and not allow anyone to enter or leave, just to wait for the real owner of Paradise to return to the Acropolis. Since you are here, I think the ban can be lifted." The other party took the initiative to mention, "Do you want to go and take a look now?"

Chaoyang said without hesitation, "I'd be happy to do so."

The beach cave is only 500 meters away from this paradise temple.

The entrance to the cave was blocked by a huge iron door, and a shield was added on top, which was more tightly protected than the company's. This door didn't even have a lock, and the only way to open it was to destroy the fused bolts. While Enkui was arranging people to install explosives, Chaoyang saw Kokomochi and the God of Hidden Mist walking to the beach alone, seemingly reminiscing about the past. At this time, the magic goddess looked very well-behaved, which perfectly matched her image.

Only when she stood up did her shadow's height become apparent. Compared to Kokomochi, she was two meters and five meters tall, like a giant. If the little girl next to her didn't fly, she could only reach her knees at most. Even Infino, who always hid himself, showed up obediently and followed the two of them. At first glance, these three people looked like a family.

But the actual situation is quite similar.

Kokomochi received guidance from the God of the Hidden Mist in her early stages of development, and later she helped the God of Heroes. During these long years, the fleeting humans were unable to leave much of an impact on the gods, and only the gods could comfort each other.

"By the way, aren't there four gods gathered here? If you are included in the count." Elodie came over and said, "Now I feel a little sympathetic towards Duke Long Jiu."

"In the event of a human civil war, the God of the Hidden Mist may not stand on our side." Chao Yang disagreed, "She was born only to suppress the influence of the evil god. It should be the same to her who rules over mankind."

"But you were able to reach a reconciliation with Wei Mi, which is probably unprecedented. So... why not give it a try?"

Chaoyang raised an eyebrow, "Why do you suddenly care about this?"

"Nothing." Elodie put her hands behind her back and made a face. "I just think that she has been doing the same thing silently for more than a thousand years, with no one knowing and no one helping her. Isn't she a little too lonely? If it were me, I would probably hope to be able to unload this burden one day, even if it's only temporarily..."
