"Peace, Leoz, peace is the most important thing! Our compatriots have lost too much. If we can shift the war to the narratives and Acquired God Spirits, then the world will gradually fall into the hands of these latecomers—something that should have belonged to all of us."
Severston looked at Leoz:
"We are gods, innate deities, and if we just watch those latecomers surpass us, then the Primordial Abyss will be completely reduced to a narrative, and we'll be confined to the white sands and black skies of the Primordial Abyss for a lifetime! We need peace, right now whatever we do, we're doing it in an environment where 'the Destroyer won't be provoked'.
"...Peace?"
Leoz pondered for a moment and said:
"Appeasement will only get us an armistice, it will never achieve peace."
"The Starry Abyss is more important to us, let's set aside hatred for now," Severston advised.
"Earth and the Destroyer are eternal enemies, they must be eradicated," Leoz insisted firmly.
"Leoz, you're different from before."
Severston frowned:
"Why, do you harbor such hatred against Earthlings now? You used to be able to accept the Defectors and mercenaries of the Dragon Race, why are you now unwilling to make even a slight concession to the Earthlings... like accepting the descendants of Earth as you accepted the Dragon Race?"
"I have accepted them."
Leoz said:
"Many of the native humans in Haines were naturally screened out by Earthlings."
"Currently, in the immigrants of Haines, up to fourteen percent are direct descendants of Earthlings."
"In fact, I once gave them trust, even promoted an Ascender who was a descendant of Earth."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Severston said, "If you keep doing that, won't it be fine?"
"The Ascender who was a direct descendant of Earth was a woman."
Leoz said:
"Her name was Charlgarnia, also known as—[Goddess of Truth]."
"She was extremely capable, leading twelve Angels Envoys known as the 'Knights of the Round Table', waging battles everywhere, she deliberately spread Earth culture, even turning English into the most widespread language in Haines—I tolerated all of this."
"However, despite my immense trust and promotion, Charlgarnia still betrayed me."
"At the most critical time, she took away the relics I had accumulated, directly leading to my eventual defeat in the war against Gaia."
Severston was speechless.
So, Leoz was the victim...
Indeed, having gone through such betrayal, even Leoz couldn't continue to forgive.
That goddess was truly...
——Goddess?
After being silent for a while, Severston's mind suddenly buzzed, he thought of something and abruptly looked at Leoz, asking:
"Wait, what did you just say that goddess's name was?"
"Charlgarnia."
Leoz repeated.
"...Are you sure you didn't misspeak?"
"I can be very sure, this name, although a bit long and contains Earth legends, 'Charlgarnia' is the Haegnes rendition of 'Guinevere', a name from Earth's story 'The Legend of King Arthur'. And her first follower, the Apostle of the Blazing Fire, who was also her husband, was named Arthur..."
"Hold on, hold on."
Severston's expression was mysterious as he looked at Leoz, asking:
"Are you sure?"
"Charlgarnia."
"Say it again."
Severston opened the recorder and requested:
"Say it slowly so I can record it properly."
To prevent misunderstandings, Leoz repeated once more:
"She is the [Goddess of Truth]—Charlgarnia."
Beep—
Severston finished recording, and then solemnly pressed the play button in front of Leoz:
"...She is the [Goddess of Truth]."
Leoz's voice articulated the words clearly:
"Severston."
Leoz's pupils contracted.

"That guy took away all my past—which means, even if I now hear the name of the current Chief God of Raiding, what I hear is 'Severston', not the name of the current Chief God—you can try telling me that guy's name, but no matter what I hear, it will be Severston to me."
"Let me see—it's Redd Gold."
Li Aozi pretended to open a webpage to browse and search.
A moment later, Severston forwarded his screenshot:
True#10752: Let me see—it's Severston.
...............
Clap!
The recording playback ended.
"...Leoz."
Severston's mouth twitched:
"I suddenly think that killing all Earthlings is not a bad idea—Earthlings, are impossible to assimilate, and cannot be trusted."
After speaking, he looked at Leoz:
"Leoz, what's with your expression."
"...I didn't expect."
"What?"
"I never made such an association."
Leoz said:
"During the Haines defense battle, crucial supplies were taken away by Charlgarnia. I thought she just feared death and didn't dare partake in the decisive battle."
"During the same Haines defense battle, the Redd Gold Celestial Dragon Falling Moon responded to the attack order of the [Secret Society] Gaia."
"The timing was incredibly close, but I never thought these acts were from the same person."
"The fact is—Redd Gold, is Charlgarnia."
Leoz looked at Severston.
"What did you just mean?"
The latter frowned and then spread his hands:
"What do you mean by 'the fact is—Severston, is Severston'."
"Nothing, because of the stolen history, even if I told you, it would be useless. What you hear is still just 'Severston'."
Leoz paused and said:
"But at least one thing is certain: Severston, the one who took away everything from us, is the same person, and I know that he is the one behind control of the 11th narrative 'Union Group'."
"Is that so? Then it seems we have no choice but to find a way to trip up the 11th narrative,"
Severston took a deep breath, closed his eyes to think for a while, and then longly exhaled, his thoughts gradually clearing:
"My former Favored Clan and Believers were all taken away by that guy, but in the Border Abyss, there is a chance I once buried... you can understand it as, I once saved a seedling, and Lai Anding helped me get in touch with him, and next, we must quickly go find him. In the future, we must find a way to get information about the controller of the 11th narrative 'Union Group'."
"Is that so, that's perfect, I also have some connections in the Border Abyss, do you have any clues? I'll send someone to receive him."
"Clues? I know he has now ascended to nobility."
Severston said:
"The title is: [Lord of Incompetence]."
