Hearing Lady Justice's proposal, Caine thought for a moment and said: "Centered on the second age of history, the elven queen 'The Queen of Plague' Goshinam, the elven people's customs, their oldest language, and the legendary Western Continent to guide the dreams." "...Good," Audrey's eyes flickered with thoughtful expression, absorbing the subtle information embedded in the 'World' gentleman's words. Then she walked over to the elven singer beside her. Under her guidance, the figure of Moberet in the garden quickly blurred and vanished into Chastas's dream. Once again, ripples surged deep within Audrey's emerald eyes, her lips moving as if silently reciting words. The entire dream world trembled—the garden, like a reflection on water, was shattered into shimmering fragments by an invisible stone that had seemingly come from nowhere. These fragments swiftly coalesced, yet what emerged was no longer the garden, but a palace composed as if of coral. Each detail of the palace was exceptionally splendid, and the overall structure grand and imposing; yet, situated deep within the layered, azure sea, the sky remained completely out of sight, making the interior dark and somber. Inside, towering coral pillars supported an exaggerated dome, while the walls and ceiling were adorned with murals depicting the terror of storms. Along these murals and across the coral, streaks of silver lightning—alive and animated—followed distinct paths, flowing throughout the space until they converged upon the nine-tiered staircase embellished with pearls, diamonds, emeralds, and sapphires. Chastel stood here, facing and flanked by several elves. Upon the nine-tiered staircase itself, two immense seats composed entirely of pure electric light were placed—one at the very center, appearing as the sovereign of this palace and this world, and the other to its left, less prominent. Seated on the central throne is a man dressed in a simple, loose robe. He has high, pointed ears, a softer facial contour, and thick, strong hair that interweaves black and blue strands. His features are individually striking, and together they form a particularly handsome appearance. Yet he exudes an immediate sense of harshness—seemingly, just one misstatement from him would prompt him to lift the electric lance resting against the armrest and hurl it forward. Beside him sits a beautiful woman with sleek, lustrous black hair coiled into a high chignon, slightly pointed ears, refined features, and deep, oceanic brown eyes. She is currently handling a golden wine cup adorned with intricate patterns. Without any introduction from Chastel, Caine and the others easily identify the man and woman as the Elven King, the ancient deity Sunyassolom, and the Elven Queen, the "Queen of the Plague," Ghisnam. "Ormil—the traitor!" Suddenly, a tremendous, thunderous roar erupted, shaking the entire palace and causing Summeris and the other attendants to instinctively lower their heads in fear. This roar came from the ancient god. Orlmire—wasn't that the name of the Giant King? I've even had red wine named after him recently. Must admit, the quality is indeed superior to others, though it's a bit pricey. While listening, still with a lingering ringing in his ears, Kline allowed his thoughts to drift freely. He remembered that the little "Sun" once mentioned that the three humanoid ancient gods—the Giant King Orlmire, the Elven King Suniasollem, and the Bloodline Founder Lilith—had been allies, uniting against the opposing faction composed of the "Dragon of Imagination" Angerwid, the "Phoenix Founder" Greagal, and the "Stranger King" Kvasihthun. The "King of Demons," Fabtis, and the "Destroying Wolf" Fregral, however, were solitary figures, aiming to contaminate everything and overthrow all. Thus, had the alliance among the three humanoid ancient gods ultimately collapsed? Klein settled his thoughts, waiting for the further developments of the dream. Thanks to the presence of "The Sun," Deryck, "Justice" Audrey was not unfamiliar with the second age's history, and thus, without hesitation, allowed the dream of Chastel to unfold: Under the terrifying roar, the "Queen of the Cataclysm" Ghisnam remained undisturbed, her expression cold and composed. "Isn't this already a settled fact?" she said calmly. "His reputation is precisely the opposite of his stature." At that moment, the body of the ancient god Sunyassolem was enveloped in cascading lightning, and his voice thundered. "I thought, over these several centuries, He would have come to a deeper understanding of the world's condition—I greatly underestimated His intelligence! 'Had it not been for His betrayal at the outset,' I ask myself, 'how could Lilith have fallen?'" Ah... had Lilith, the progenitor of the bloodline, fallen so early? Klein's eyes widened, and his attention instantly sharpened. As the Elven King roared, Queen of the Plague, Ghisnam, remained in her previous posture and said: "That's not necessarily a bad thing. At least, Kvasithuun and Fregrala have been dragged along to join the funeral procession with Lilith. Now, no divine beings trust one another anymore. Even without forming alliances with any one side, we can rule the seas, lakes, and rivers." Hearing this, Audrey, the "observer" representing Justice, found herself stunned, unable to contain her amazement, and instinctively used her own "calming" spell once more. This... means that the primordial bloodline Lilith, the king of the non-human race Kvasithuun, and the "Destroying Wolf" Fregrala perished during the very divine wars of the ancient gods—due to the betrayal of ancient gods like the King of the Giants, Ormil—rather than being directly linked to the ancient Sun God? That is precisely why Lilith, though dead, still occasionally issues divine decrees. Precisely for this reason, Antigonus and the "Heavenly Mother" of the Hōnāchis Mountains were able to survive into the Quaternary period. Caine grew increasingly convinced that the historical records of the Silver City contained many instances of fabrication or vagueness. Fortunately, he had not yet fully absorbed the "Wizard" elixir, so he did not need to consider ascending to the rank of "Ancient Scholar" just yet—otherwise, the history he used might not have been authentic. In ancient times, the primordial bloodline ancestor Lilith and the otherworldly king Kvašitūn each fell due to the other. Yet recently, the bloodline has been forging alliances with the more restrained faction among the otherworldly beings. What a magnificent magician time truly is! Ah, one could only imagine the expression on Emlyn's face—the Moon—if she knew of this development. As for Leonard, the Star, he listened with growing admiration. In the span of a few thoughts, the ancient god Sunyassolem had already hummed, saying, "Ormil has recently been seeking cooperation with several hidden religious orders emerging among humans, aiming to jointly oppose us. It seems this initiative is being led by 'Harvest' and 'Dawn.' I even now consider partnering with Angerwid to destroy the giants' royal court. Yet every time I see that dragon, I find myself wanting to skewer it and roast it—this is a fundamental attraction, an irresistible delight!" As soon as she finished speaking, her form suddenly vanished, and the palace shook violently, cracking in several places. Before the commotion had settled, a flash of lightning revealed her once again, now seated upon the great throne, holding a spear composed entirely of pure lightning. "Did you go to the Giants' Royal Court?" Highsinam asked. "I gave Ormil a lesson," Sunyassolem replied without hesitation. The heads of the elven attendants, Thassia and others, dipped even lower, and faintly, slender, slick tentacles thicker than their own bodies swayed across the ground, flickering with silver-white serpentine streaks of electricity. Then, they closed their eyes as well. The dream began to shift, and Thassia "remembered" her interactions with other elves. Through their conversations and exchanges, Caine, Leonard, and Odile learned that Thassia's era was a relatively peaceful period of the Second Age, in which the five great races—the giants, the elves, the great dragons, the demons, and the immortals—shared rule over the northern and southern continents and the five great seas, while the other races—the vampires, the magical wolves, the treefolk, the sea monsters, the odd beings, and the humans—remained in subordinate positions, depending on various powers. "This bears no resemblance to the historical records of the Church, nor does it appear in the myths of the Silver City," remarked Leonard, the "Star," with a sense of wonder. "I'd wager the old man himself wasn't aware of such a situation." "Perhaps not." "Klein gave a barely perceptible shake of his head." "Many beings from the Second Age lived into the Fourth Age, even into the present day." "Like the Wise Angel?" Leonard asked, speculating. "Probably," Klein said without a definite affirmation, smiling instead. "When you spoke to Moberet, I thought you'd have asked the 'Justice' lady to step aside." Leonard glanced at him sharply, then yawned. "You mentioned earlier that there was a being behind me who had witnessed the second 'Board of Desecration.' Then, while speaking to Moberet Soloyasht, I deliberately asked the 'Justice' lady to step aside—wasn't that making her think?" "And you also mentioned that, when dealing with Amun's various manifestations across Beckland, the resolution phase involved the participation of 'Justice' Lady—this alone provides a substantial amount of information for a Sequence 5 observer. With just a bit more insight into the Soloyasde family, the truth is nearly within reach. So, why should I waste time going through the motions of avoiding certain topics, which would only add unnecessary complications? It would be simpler simply to have 'The Fool' bear witness, and have everyone take an oath of confidentiality." "If 'Justice' Lady is to recuse herself, you'll actually find it harder to bring up the oath of confidentiality..." Kline nodded slightly. "Thastis recalled, 'I've never seen it—eh, the Life Goddess of the Blood Dynasty, the War God of the Other Kings, both of them killed, and their names forgotten by everyone... The God of the Dead, Sarin格尔, the Destroyer of the Great Wolf, who once served the Primordial Phoenix, now has joined us. The Beauty Goddess of the Blood Dynasty, Orniya, who once ruled during the Blood Moon Reign, the wife of the Fourth Dynasty Night Emperor and Queen of the Trensost Empire, has also come to us. And the Spirit-Beings God of the Other Kings, Torznar, and the Goddess of Misfortune of the Destroyer Wolf, Amannexis, who has simply vanished...'"
