"Yes, this world is incomplete!" Juxi pondered. "We don't forget anything and we don't experience any pain..."

I couldn't quite understand. The situation seemed less idyllic than I had imagined, more like living in a boundless world with no order or rules, only old customs to restrict us.

I didn't expect to come to a new world only to escape the constraints of society. Ultimately, what is the purpose of all this?

The difference between the old world and the original continent is not significant. We have no choice, only obedience.

"Haha, alright, I won't play anymore..." Juxi suddenly laughed and said, "My dear student, I hope you're not feeling homesick. It takes time to adjust to living in the dormitory, but it would be best if you adapt to this kind of life quickly."

"..."

Juxi's change in attitude was too sudden. Before I could say anything, he turned around and disappeared!

Sigh, life at Saint Veronica is not bad at all. There's nothing to complain about. Maybe I'm just too nitpicky.

After Juxi left, the room suddenly became quiet, but...I have already gotten used to this kind of life and don't want to change too much.

Thinking of this, I comfortably lay down on the bed, staring at the stars outside the window and slowly fell asleep.

In my dream, I appeared in a desolate plain, where not even a single person was in sight.

Here, there was only silence and emptiness, as well as disappearance.

The world forever lost the radiance of the sun, covered everywhere with scenes of ice and snow. Not to mention no humans, not even a single animal was found!

"Mmm..."

A gust of snow blew onto my face, and I suddenly felt a bone-chilling coldness. It was too...real!

...

The biting cold wind, the broken floors of the ruins were like a forest of iron trees left behind by the city, giving off a chilling feeling amidst the heavy snow.

Everything in front of me seemed to remind me that all that had happened was just a dream, not real!

Order is an important treaty that maintains the laws of nature.

All things in the world exist in the balance maintained by the treaty, allowing all creatures to coexist.

Order and rules are necessary for this to exist in the world.

However, long, long ago...

During that time, the passage connecting two worlds was once again restored, and many creatures that had long been absent returned to their long-separated homeland.

Many people and animals were looking forward to this return because they had heard rumors about the beauty of the original continent from a young age!

For example, the original continent had the most brilliant sunlight and the richest diversity of resources.

And most importantly, the air in the original continent.

Although the claims about the original continent were only speculations before the gate was opened, they became real once we arrived...

Under human control, this place is simply a hell on Earth!

Towering smokestacks constantly emit foul-smelling smoke.

The human population has exceeded the limit, causing severe pollution to other beings that were once their kind!

"Ah, it's such a pity, so tragic to die like this!"

On the branches of withering leaves, the man in black fortuitously encountered two sparrows still clinging to life. A sense of compassion arose within him.

With a tinge of regret, the man in black took them both into his pouch.

"Never mind, as long as there's hope, you won't die!"

"Truly, you are a kind-hearted demon lord, Lord Lucifer."

Another person dressed in a black cloak, only this time with silver patterns instead of gold, suddenly appeared before the man in black.

The two of them exchanged smiles, and then the man in black spoke with a slightly naive tone.

"Thor, do you regret following me?"

"Why speak such nonsense? This was my own choice, how could I regret it?"

"...Thank you, I won't let you and everyone down. We will definitely succeed in stopping Liao Xiu Er!"

"Yes, we both believe in you wholeheartedly. By the way, only when you leave do you truly understand regret, don't you?"

"...Indeed."

They were the last terminators of the Human Century, perhaps not widely known in the Saint Veronica continent, but in the original continent, they had long instilled fear in the human camp.

Because their leader was none other than this dark ruler who transcends gods - Lucifer!

"Thor, my good friend."

"What's the matter? Do you need something?"

Thor felt that today he had something he didn't want to say, but he had to tell him.

Thor didn't immediately answer, instead, he casually picked up a dry, yellow leaf and asked him.

"If... I mean if, one day I'm no longer like this, if one day I leave or become someone else, do you think he would fulfill this shared wish like I do?"

"I think perhaps he might, but perhaps not. After all, if you don't tell him, he won't understand, right?"

"Yes, it's about time we leave from here. Let's go!"

Like this, Thor followed behind Shura in surprise, and as a sudden blue light rose from under their feet, they disappeared at the edge of the wasteland.

Since then, the world has started to collapse completely!

Darkness began to spread around this world, and a peculiar creature known as the Fallen Angel became the backbone of this catastrophe!

Saint Veronica also expressed doubts about the Great Demon Lord Lucifer.

Finally, the Sorcerer Council dispatched personnel to the original continent to search for Lucifer's whereabouts, but there were no results.

Finally, this matter alarmed the gods residing in the Hall of Heroes, and the Conference of Eight Kings was established!

They were overly concerned about Lucifer's rebellion, but it's more accurate to say... Who is Lucifer?!

The name Lucifer was once used by the Divine Lord. During the era when the Dragon Emperor ruled this continent, humans rose under Lucifer's leadership...

Back then, the animals were also greedy, just like humans. History is always surprisingly similar.

Afterwards, another two years passed, with the cycle of spring, summer, autumn, and winter repeating fully.

Ninety-nine percent of the earth was covered in a thick layer of ice and snow.

Even the vast Pacific Ocean was sealed by the ravaging frost, with only a few scattered humans surviving in the frigid underground basements.

But they couldn't hold on for long...

"We're back! Hey, hurry up and get on, it's safe here!"

A girl, her features covered by snow and wind, wiped the snow from the corners of her eyes and pulled the goggles of her military cap lower.

As she turned around, a monstrous figure with giant wings flapping faintly appeared behind her in the blizzard. Two blood-red dots suddenly turned murderous.

But the blue-eyed girl had no idea. She continued to shout to the others beneath the ten-meter layer of ice.

"Hey, Paroni, hold my hand..."

"Yukari sis, behind you!"

The red-haired boy who was halfway pulled shouted loudly and struggled to draw his Magic Sword with his extra left hand.

Who would have thought, the beast race had a collaboration with the pseudo-humans in the original world.

Swoosh! Just as it was on the verge of happening, arrows from behind them pierced the two blood-red eyes like a tornado!

"Woooaahhhh...!"

It was clearly a monster, but it made human sounds. What on earth had happened to this world?!

"No, it's not the beast race of our Saint Veronica, or rather, Saint Veronica should not have given birth to such monsters!"

The guide who had accompanied them all the way, Fuyu, the biology teacher and also Paroni's teacher, covered her lips and exclaimed.

She seemed somewhat excited.

Looking at the bird-like creature fleeing, Fuyu, perhaps due to the heat, happily shouted with flushed face.

"Incredible, truly incredible! Can such terrifying creatures be born in the original world with such strict order?!"

"I've seen him before!"

"Huh?"

Fuyu was a little surprised, but then she thought that Paroni and the others had originally come from this world, so maybe they had already encountered it before?

What happened afterwards can be imagined. I met everyone and became comrades in this war.

We were willing to face all the sudden fears, and at the same time, we resisted the troubles brought by killing.

Perhaps a peaceful life for a lifetime might never have had the chance to be experienced, but at least I had everyone by my side, with friends helping each other, after all... we don't have gods to guide us.

The abilities we obtained were all triggered by ourselves, the source of our own magic.

In the past, humans were suppressed because they were restrained, and as a result, the magic within them was sealed.

This kind of thing was almost common in the former world, but humans liberated their own magic and gained god-like wisdom and creative abilities.

However...

Humans gained the wisdom of gods, yet they did not gain the virtues and respect that gods should have.

After gaining these abilities, they did not think about making the world a better place, but used them for their own desires, ultimately leading the world to destruction.

However, this world was also created by the Divine Lord, only it did not have the restrictions that the previous world had. And, the abilities we have now are not so much a gift from the gods, but rather a duty and punishment bestowed upon us by the gods!

The existence of magic is not only filled with endless benefits; its drawbacks also torment humanity to the point of collapse.

Gods possess endless life, which means that human troubles will continue to accumulate... and when they accumulate to a certain extent, they will face their own choices.

Choice one: Go mad because of eternal life and memories, and eventually die when their mental capacity reaches its limit!

Yes, you heard it right. Although gods are supposed to be omnipotent in our perception, symbols of both destruction and creation, they do have some weaknesses, such as their mental strength being actually more fragile compared to humans!
