It was a completely empty space.

There was nothing there. No darkness, no light... absolutely nothing, a space of pure "void".

The one who created this void space was the highest existence - He was the true king of the gods and the true creator of this world.

At this moment, the call from the depths of the heart was for that adult.

"Mio, can you come with me?"

The shinigami sincerely invited Mio.

Mio saw some kind of hope in her eyes. After a slight change in her expression, she nodded lightly and walked towards the shinigami. At this moment, a few people noticed Mio's actions and instinctively became worried. Seeing their gaze, Mio felt warmed in her heart, then gently shook her head and conveyed the message "don't worry" with her eyes.

After that, under the gaze of everyone, Mio and the shinigami disappeared from the spot.

As her body began to shift, Mio felt her vision becoming blurry and her body experienced a slight sense of weightlessness. However, this weightlessness disappeared after a while, and then the scene in front of Mio became clear. After observing the surrounding environment, Mio's face showed a puzzled expression.

The two of them were in a blank space, with white ground beneath their feet.

She looked at the shinigami and asked with some doubt:

"...Where is this?"

"Ahaha, don't look at me like that. Don't worry, I won't harm you. But the person we're going to meet next is a very, very special person, so you mustn't be rude."

"Can... Green be revived?"

"Perhaps."

The shinigami gave a vague answer and didn't say anything else. She took a few steps forward, clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes, and looked extremely devout. But soon, the shinigami girl returned to her original state, opened her eyes, and a sharp glint flickered in her eyes.

"A door to the 'void' has been opened."

The door that led to that void space was called the 'Door of Nothingness', also known as the 'Invisible Door'. Only the highest existence had the right to open this door.

The shinigami girl greeted Mio and then stepped into the invisible door in front of her.

In Mio's vision, the shinigami took one step forward and disappeared, but Mio only hesitated for a moment before gathering her courage and walked towards the direction where the shinigami disappeared.

When she stepped into the invisible door, Mio did indeed feel something unusual.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness swept over her consciousness, but before Mio's brain could react, she found herself standing on a grassland that should not exist at all - she had arrived at another place.

The scenery in front of her was beautiful, with flowers, grass, and animals. The air was fresh and invigorating, making one feel very comfortable, even the exhaustion of body and mind was swept away.

However, Mio did not indulge in this enjoyment, but immediately caught up with the shinigami girl in front of her.

"What place is this?"

"The land of void."

"But this... "

Mio looked at the surroundings and obviously didn't believe the shinigami's answer.

Being questioned by Mio, the shinigami fell into a brief silence and then replied after a moment:

"It should be done by that person."

The shinigami glanced at Mio's face and couldn't help but be surprised.

In the past, when she came here, there was nothing, and she would fall into a state of not knowing who she was until she left and then realized that the images in her memory were twisted. Now, this place unexpectedly presented a beautiful natural scene, which was inevitably astonishing.

But that's okay, at least I don't have to enter that strange state again.

The two of them continued along the created path. The road was very straight and led forward with no end in sight. The trees on both sides of the road were neatly lined up, like well-trained soldiers.

Perhaps this is the power of the Creator – the road that couldn't be seen reaching its end has somehow been reached by the two of them, but looking back, they can't remember how they got here, and their minds don't feel any sense of discord.

At this moment, in front of them, there was a thin figure sitting by the pond.

From the back, it looked like an old man fishing, but the Reaper dare not be careless, because she knows very well that this old man in front of her is the highest being.

Perhaps it was to facilitate communication that it took on this appearance.

Just thinking about this, the Reaper was even more surprised, because she had never seen the Creator in this form before.

The old man sat still, but could already sense the arrival of the two, so he used a language that they couldn't understand, but they could instinctively comprehend the meaning, and gestured for them to come to his side.

Even Mio could feel the immense presence of the old man now. No, the old man didn't emit any presence, but she just felt that this old man in front of her was incredibly respectable and great.

"Sit."

The old man said softly.

For the Reaper, the words of the Creator are commandments, so she sat down beside him without any psychological burden. Mio glanced back and forth between the Reaper and the old man, then tremblingly sat down next to the Reaper.

And so, the current situation fell into silence.

A strange feeling came again. Mio realized she had lost the concept of time, even the sense of how long it had been couldn't be expressed. It seemed like she had just sat down, but also as if she had been sitting here for millions, tens of millions of years. Soon, Mio understood that all of this originated from the mysterious old man in front of her.

In an environment where the passage of time couldn't be felt, the old man – the true Creator – spoke.

"What kind of person is the male human named Green to you?"

Too strange. Mio found that every movement of the old man brought about a peculiar experience. The old man's voice sounded like an inquiry, a reprimand, and an offhanded question all at once. The voice seemed young, like a child, and like an old person. As soon as he spoke, it felt like millions of years had passed, yet it also seemed like the moment he finished speaking.

Mio was stunned after hearing it, but when she thought of Green, her gaze became resolute.

"Green is an important person to me."

"How important is he?"

"He is the only value I have in life!"

"Why is he important?"

"Because he saved me. The person who saved me is him."

The old man fell into silence again, and the peculiar experience once again engulfed Mio's whole body.

Because she no longer felt the passage of time, Mio was not anxious about the old man's silence. The Reaper beside her also listened attentively to the conversation between Mio and the old man, without showing any signs of impatience.

"I created everything in the world, but there is one thing that I didn't create. Do you know what that is?"

"What... ah. It's... 'heart,' isn't it? — It's 'heart'."

Mio was about to instinctively ask what it was, but she suddenly realized something, and then hesitantly uttered her guess, but immediately his image appeared in her mind, firming her answer without hesitation.

The changes in Mio's expression were all captured by Him in that short sentence.

"Yes, it's the 'heart', it's faith. Faith is born from 'nothingness', everything in the world has its 'heart'. 'Heart', is also the only treasure among all that you possess, which can be compared to me," He turned His face towards Mio, with a very kind expression.

"I also have the same 'heart' as you."

The surroundings suddenly changed, becoming indescribable and unable to be described in words. The Shinigami and Mio only knew that now there were scenes playing in front of their eyes, and accompanying it was His narration.

"All things have a heart. Because of this, the creator would also get bored, and so He gave the Shinigami power. But my heart tells me that it was the right thing to do. You and him showed me something interesting."

A man appeared in their field of vision.

He had black hair and black eyes, he came from a different world; he had extraordinary power and was incredibly strong, but he disliked fighting, preferring to lie on Mio's lap and enjoy leisurely time; he was very fickle, he had a total of five wives, and one unofficial one; he had many strengths, but also many weaknesses; he was——Green.

Green was not a perfect man —— in fact, even saying he was outstanding might be debatable —— perfection does not exist in the world, but for Mio, the imperfect Green was infinitely close to, and even synonymous with, perfection.

"Interesting, very interesting. A foreigner and a local could fall in love with each other, and it's even a foreigner who belongs to the top existence in this world. I'm curious about what kind of 'heart' the creator of his world has."

A feeling of joy directly imprinted in their minds.

The Shinigami was completely shocked, she never expected that the supreme, highest existence, the ruler of all things, would have such a side.

However, that was the truth, whether it was the gods, ordinary beings, or even a blade of grass, they all had their own unique and different "hearts".

"I have made up my mind, to find the creator of that world, to resurrect Him - and also Him to resurrect that man named Green, who belongs to Him - and you, who belong to him."

The creator said so, clarifying His attitude.

The so-called creator, bored, created everything. Everything created had a heart, which made the creator find it very interesting. Over billions of years, as time passed, the creator came into contact with many interesting hearts. Now, he wanted to use his interest once again to help heal the wounded hearts.

"However, this is not for free."

There were many wounded hearts, but most of them didn't interest the creator. As the creator, it was normal for Him to act based on His interests, but when facing the created beings, He couldn't lose His prestige.

"There is giving, and there is receiving, and even if you give, it doesn't necessarily mean you will get what you want in return. Therefore, after this, you must pay the price - it should have been like this, but in order to minimize the cost of your wishes, whimsical hearts, I also really like them."

As the creator, and as the ruler of all things, He accepted Mio - also representing the wishes of Aloof, Lilith, Yuzuriha, Tia, and Elsa - it was to fulfill His promise, and also to move forward with His heart.
