Chapter 272: Chapter 263: Choice Reappears (5000 words, still one update today)

"Chaos and strife truly are the eternal themes of this world."

"You observe these two groups... or rather, these beings who are closer to myth than to humanity."

"You can see an evil army surging over the horizon. It is not composed of one kind of life form: some are decayed corpses with yellowed skin oozing pus and exhaling a stench of rot; some are grotesque, three-headed, two-clawed birds with black wings gleaming in the dim light; and others are strange creatures stitched together from parts of various beings, their bodies painted with eerie runes."

"Rotten, wicked, hateful, and filthy—these are the truest descriptions of this army."

"They are advancing toward the ’River of Two Judgments,’ like an apocalyptic legion. Wherever they go, the earth succumbs to their aura of destruction, life withers, and the land becomes barren."

"On the other side, along the riverbank, stands a force in stark opposition to the evil army. Although their forms are humanoid, their skin is pale and tender, their eyes glint like yellow gemstones, and their arms are adorned with snow-white feathers, resembling wings."

"Forming disciplined phalanxes, they rely on the riverbank, prepared for battle. At the frontlines, the clash has already begun."

"The sacred and the profane intertwine, light and shadow collide, and blood of all kinds colors the battlefield. The earth is littered with corpses, and the tainted blood seeps into the river."

"At that moment, an unexpected voice from the ’Secret Cultivator’ reaches your ears."

"The Eternal Sufferers under the ’Eternal Curse God’?"

"Her face is stricken with fear, as if reminded of some grim encounter during her previous exploration of the ’Land of Prayer Light.’"

"This triggers a memory in your mind, calling forth the names of three of the six great evil gods of the Land of Prayer Light. The ’Eternal Curse God’ is one of them."

"You’re referring to those undead-like monsters, aren’t you?"

"Your gaze lands on the yellow-skinned, pus-dripping undead creatures, and you think these monstrosities must be the Eternal Sufferers."

"But you’re wrong. The ’Secret Cultivator’ points instead toward those strange beings stitched from various body parts and marked with arcane runes. ’No, these are the Eternal Sufferers—beings that should not exist in this world, cursed from birth to endure eternal suffering.’

"You got it wrong after all."

"Blinking to cover your embarrassment, you discreetly change the subject. ’Then, are the rest of them also the ’Evil God’s followers’ from the Land of Prayer Light?’"

"The ’Secret Cultivator,’ oblivious to your stubborn pride, gently shakes her head. ’I’m not sure. I only have knowledge of three among the ’Six Great Evil Gods.’ The ’Mad Creator’ doesn’t count, and I fell into a dark trap before I could investigate the ’God of Foolish Evil Game,’ so the ’Eternal Curse God’ is the only one I know even a little about.’

"Meanwhile,

"the battle on the field grows even fiercer. Sacred glimmers of light clash against unseen, malicious curses. Corruption and filth flow freely. From time to time, a snow-white sacred figure burns their own life force to hurl themselves against the tide of darkness."

"You watch this scene intently, analyzing it in your mind."

"Aside from the Eternal Sufferers, the other strange beings within the evil army likely also have ties to the ’Evil Gods’ of the Land of Prayer Light. This blackened horde, assembled as a coalition, clearly marches toward the ’Extreme East Land.’"

"Conversely, these sanctified beings, whose wing-like arms and divine aura sharply contrast the Land of Prayer Light, have formed unyielding formations, fighting to the death to repel the invading evil forces. They are likely inhabitants of the Extreme East Land, battling to defend the gods they worship."

"But this raises another question..."

"Why are the Evil Gods of the Land of Prayer Light so hostile to the ’God of Justice’ who resides in the Extreme East Land? What hidden story lies behind this conflict?"

"You recall a statement once made by the ’Mad Creator’: ’The God of Justice is not a deity native to the Land of Prayer Light. They are an outsider.’"

"You wonder if this has any connection to the unfolding events."

"’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ what should we do next?’ The cautious yet slightly eager voice of the ’Secret Cultivator’ brings you back to the present."

"Her gaze is fixed on the battlefield, her eyes shimmering with ideas for the next course of action. Yet, given her own lack of power, she’s like a lone leaf adrift between the black tide and the white phalanx—unable even to protect herself, let alone influence the tide of events to her advantage."

"She must rely on the strength of the ’Dark Crow of Profane Fortune,’ which is to say, you. Because of this, she holds your judgment in the highest regard."

"You do not respond immediately. Your thoughts swirl as you stare at the warring forces on the battlefield."

"If the coalition of Evil God’s followers marching toward the Extreme East Land have a way to cross the ’River of Two Judgments,’ then leveraging that knowledge—through coercion, persuasion, or feigning allegiance—might provide a way forward."

"Alternatively, these holy beings with snow-white skin may indeed be followers of the ’God of Justice.’ If so, aiding them in their struggle against the evil coalition could earn their trust, and possibly even the favor of the ’God of Justice’—a critical step for locating the ’House of Truth.’"

"Having become a heretical wizard, having shepherded more than one deity, and having fathered offspring in this Otherworld, you once again find yourself standing at a crossroads of fate."

"Do you choose to engage with the evil army of the Evil God’s followers to uncover a method to cross the River of Two Judgments?"

"Or do you assist these likely followers of the ’God of Justice’ in repelling the dark forces, hoping to win their favor?"
