Chapter 422: Chapter 423: Evernight Goddess is a Cultured Person
After Lynn left, Archbishop Saint Anthony immediately arranged a ceremony and reported word-for-word the conversation he had with Lynn and a letter Lynn sent to the Evernight Goddess, his entire being emanating loyalty.
In the Divine Kingdom of Evernight, filled with Slumber Flowers, even the Evernight Goddess herself fell silent while reading the letter Lynn had sent.
She was aware that Lynn intended to reverse the reputation of the True Creator, but Amanises genuinely did not expect Lynn to plan to bring the Aurora Order into prominence.
What kind of genius could come up with such an idea?
Amanises pondered for a long while before her eyes fell on the part he wrote about Anthony's reaction. She couldn't help but utter, "Surprised Pikachu face!"
With that, she burst out laughing. Clearly, Amanises was still somewhat familiar with internet culture.

Lynn had no idea that he had brought a touch of humanity to Amanises. If he knew, he would have probably smiled happily.
After dealing with the matters in Backlund, Lynn once again passed through the True Creator's passage and made his way to the Forsaken Land of the Gods. After spending some time on the journey, he finally returned to the City of Silver.
This ancient city now felt entirely different from before. It wasn't as if there had been any major reconstruction in the days Lynn had been asleep; it was the atmosphere that had changed.
The City of Silver had once been teetering on the brink of the abyss. Though the city had not completely given up hope, it had felt like a decaying old tree, pervaded by deathly silence and oppression.
But now, under the artificial sun created by Lynn, the City of Silver was bathed in golden "sunlight," and there were people everywhere—coming and going, with many no longer wearing the numb expressions they once had. Some were even laughing and chatting.
This wasn't surprising. The people of the City of Silver had survived in darkness for so many years, mostly because of their inherent optimism. Otherwise, they would have self-destructed in the endless darkness long ago.
The reason for their previous numbness and depression was simply that the City of Silver had lost all hope, with most people merely waiting for death.
But now, two angels had descended upon the City of Silver, bringing hope and sunlight. This was worth more than words to the people of the City of Silver. It was as if they had been given a massive boost of morale.
Because of this, even though Chief Colin Iliad hadn't actively promoted faith in the Fool, many of the citizens of the City of Silver had begun secretly praying to Him.
The War Angel and Angel of Secrets, who had personally descended upon the City of Silver, were also quickly embraced as the main objects of worship by the people.
This didn't conflict with their faith in the Fool. It's common practice to believe in a Sequence 0, while also focusing worship on one of the angels that follow them. Even the churches of the Orthodox Gods operate this way.
This kind of belief does not undermine the faith in a Sequence 0, and it can provide a large number of anchor points to both the Sequence 0 and the angels beneath them.
—As for why the Chief hadn't stopped this, it was mainly because he couldn't. He couldn't hide the existence of the Fool after two angels had personally descended, nor could he forbid the people of the City of Silver from worshipping the Fool after He had given them so much help.
That wouldn't just be reckless—it would be downright suicidal.
All Chief Colin could do was refrain from encouraging the citizens to worship the Fool, while gently reminding everyone not to make rash decisions.
Fortunately, what gave the Chief some solace was that although many people had begun secretly worshipping the Fool, even more of them remained cautious. This wasn't because they didn't appreciate the help—they simply had seen too many cities destroyed by evil gods in this dark land.
With the Chief's subtle influence, the citizens naturally remained prudent.
Of course, a certain War Angel had noticed all of this but hadn't done anything about it.
After all, the City of Silver had once been a bastion of faith in the Ancient Sun God. Even though the True Creator no longer desired their worship, Medici wasn't about to intervene and change their beliefs. Allowing a certain Fool to sneak in for a photo was the limit.
Whether the Fool could secure the City of Silver's faith was entirely up to Him.
In the end, Medici was rather curious to see what this future Lord of Mysteries was capable of.
But before that... Medici glanced at the window, a mocking smile forming on his lips. He said, "I didn't know someone had taken to climbing through windows."
"I didn't want to make a scene..." Lynn's figure appeared by the window. With a quick push of his hands, he jumped into the room. Looking at Medici, who was casually sitting with his legs crossed in front of a desk, and then at the ancient book in his hands, Lynn raised an eyebrow and said, "The sun must have risen in the west. You're actually reading a serious book?"
"Just killing time. I can't vanish for seven days like some people..." Medici set the book down, looking Lynn over unabashedly before scoffing, "You slept for a hundred years—are you a sloth?"
"Who said anything about a hundred years? That's all in the past. I've only been asleep for seven days this time." Lynn confidently corrected, before casting a glance at Medici and adding, "Besides, someone seems to have forgotten that if I hadn't slept for those hundred years, you wouldn't have become a King of Angels so soon."
This was undeniably true. Lynn's existence had allowed Medici to ascend to the position of King of Angels far earlier than in the original timeline.
"Hmph, and someone used my help to gain the Knowledge Emperor's Characteristic. How do you explain that?" Medici sneered, unwilling to back down.

Just as the two were about to start their usual bickering, a voice interrupted them.
"War Angel, I've found all the ancient books you requested... Uh, Angel of Secrets, you're back?" Derrick appeared at the end of the bookshelf, holding a pile of parchment. He was stunned to see Lynn and then beamed with excitement.
"Good evening, Derrick!" Lynn instantly switched to a friendly demeanor, smiling at the young man. "Sorry for taking so long to return. I said I'd solve the True Creator's temple problem seven days ago..."
"It's fine, it's fine! I'm just glad you're back..." Derrick quickly waved his hand, then seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, does the Chief know you've returned?"
"He probably doesn't. I wasn't exactly making a grand entrance." Lynn smiled. "But you can go inform him now."
"Yes, Angel of Secrets!"
Derrick hurried off, soon returning with Chief Colin.
"Good day, Angel of Secrets," Colin greeted respectfully, bowing slightly. As he looked at the youthful angel before him, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief.
At last, the exploration could continue.
