He appeared directly above the Hall of Mist.
Here stand one World Tree after another, stretching their branches and exuding a unique charm.
With a light tap of his finger, Su Han caused the void in front of him to distort, and Nyaruko's figure slowly materialized from nothing.
"...Has it developed to this point?" Nyarlathotep scanned the World Tree around her with interest. Just as Su Han frowned, Nyarlathotep's gaze fell on Su Han, her eyes lit up, and she pounced on him.
"Huh?!" Su Han's eyes widened suddenly, but before he could retaliate, Nyaruko hugged Su Han's body and rubbed her cheek against his.
"Finally met you! Ahhh, it's completely different from when you used avatars to oppose me before... This is our first close encounter. Hehehe, those other guys will be green with envy when they find out! But it's no use how envious they are, hahahahaha..."
Su Han: "???"
What kind of absurd move is this? Su Han was completely shocked.
Wait a minute, in the past, they used avatars to oppose each other... Su Han's gaze sharpened, and he suddenly realized the key point in that sentence.
He thought of the swollen woman he encountered in the real world, and the black pharaoh he encountered in the world of Godslayers…
"...Was all of this planned?" Su Han's voice was calm. He only had to think for a moment, and Nyaruko instantly detached from him and stood five meters away again.
"Wow! I fed you so many avatars to help you grow, and this is how you treat me? I'm so heartbroken." Nyaruko's face was full of grief.
However, when she saw Su Han staring at her calmly as always, Nyaruko pouted and felt a little bored. Her expression immediately became serious.
"It wasn't planned out... You should have realized it by now, the people drawn into this misty world are actually those you subconsciously wanted to be drawn into. So, the world you can enter in the future is something only you can choose."
"What I, and some other guys watching you did... was simply to select some worlds and then, semi-intentionally, suppress our avatars within them. The future can be devoured by you, allowing you to progress in the shortest amount of time, right? So, what happened to the Black King was just a matter of pure luck."
After a brief pause, Nyaruko stuck out her tongue sheepishly. "But that time with the swollen woman was intentional... but it didn't cause you any trouble, so you shouldn't be angry, right?"
Su Han ignored Nyaruko's cute act and his gaze turned serious. "So, what is the relationship between me, the Misty Space, and you evil gods?"
Su Han's mind was in a mess. Ever since he transmigrated, he had always thought that his enemies were the Great Old Ones and their retinues. But now he suddenly realized that the truth was not so simple.
“Hmm, part of the misty space is a part of the corpse of Azathoth, the god of blind folly! As for the form of the mist... that was Yog’s doing.”
After thinking for a while, Nyarlathotep spoke with some hesitation, "You can think of it as Yogg creating a machine and then using His Majesty Azathoth's corpse as the raw material to power the machine!"
"So, what is my relationship with Azathoth?" Su Han stared at Nyarlathotep expressionlessly. He had vaguely realized that the only one who could attract the attention of the Three Pillar Gods and numerous evil gods, even to the point of sacrificing their avatars, was perhaps Azathoth himself. In other words…
“You might have misunderstood. You are not Azathoth!” Nyarlathotep said with a wry smile. She saw through Su Han’s thoughts at a glance.
Su Han: "!!!!"
What the heck? No! Su Han was stunned again.
Looking at Su Han with a smile, Nyaruko hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "Then... let me tell you a story! A story so long that it cannot be described in words."
------------
Chapter 547 The Truth of the Void Sea? The Pan Era and the Old Era!
Forcing himself to calm down, Su Han stared intently at Nyaruko, making his stance clear.
"Where should I begin?" Nyaruko scratched her hair.
After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Then let's start with the Old Ages that belong to the Old Ones."
"An era, in essence, represents a specific period! It signifies which creature, which race, or rather, which concept holds absolute dominance within the Void Sea. Oh, and I forgot to mention, the Void Sea is the place that contains all universes!"
"Yes, before the Old Era, there were actually many other eras. For example, the one before us, the Pan Era, is somewhat similar to the primordial world you know, with figures like Pangu, Hongjun, and the Primordial Celestial Venerable..."
Su Han's eyelids twitched a few times. How did this get involved with Earth's mythology? Wasn't it supposed to be a story about the Void Sea, outside the universe?
Nyarko coughed a few times and said seriously, "I can roughly understand your thoughts... However, that so-called primordial myth and the Pan Era I mentioned are only somewhat similar. For example, the ruler of the previous era was not actually named Pangu; that guy should be called Pan!"
"Hongjun should actually be called Hong, the second-generation successor to the Pan Era. There are no Three Pure Ones or anything like that, there is only the Primordial Heavenly King, who is the Primordial Heavenly Venerable as you know him?"
"As for the other so-called Tongtian Sect Masters, Laozi, etc., they are actually just incarnations of the Primordial Heavenly King. That guy almost became the third ruler of the Pan Era after Hong, extending the rule of the Pan Era for another era..."
After a pause, Nyarlathotep clicked her tongue, "But it's a pity that although Hong was the most cunning, in the end, he lacked confidence and backed down, which led to his death as the second generation of the Pan Era."
"So, you're saying Pan Jiyuan was defeated by you?" Su Han asked calmly. "Are you stronger than Pan Jiyuan?"
"No way, Pan Jiyuan brought this on himself! The concept of an era is that it can last for one era... It's already a miracle that they forcibly extended two eras, so the collapse of the third era is a normal phenomenon." Nyarlathotep rolled his eyes.
"As for our Old Age, it was actually after their collapse! The Old Ones defeated one enemy after another... even the ancient gods of the previous era before the Pan Era were defeated by us. Looking around, there were no enemies in the Void Sea... and we were crowned without even realizing it."
“And Azathoth was the first ruler of the Old Ages. Although he was foolish and chaotic, he didn’t resemble a ruler at all!” Nyarlathotep sighed deeply as she finished speaking.
“I remember you said before that an era is just an era! If it is forcibly continued, it will trigger some kind of special mechanism? According to you, Azathoth is dead, does that mean that the Old Era has ended?” Su Han keenly grasped the key point in Nyarlathotep’s words.
Something's not right. He had previously obtained some information by devouring evil gods... It seems that this era is still ruled by the Old Ones.
“Generally speaking, that’s how it is! Moreover, although the Great Old Ones were crowned in a muddle, they knew their own situation. They were all brainless. I’m basically one of the very rare ones who are intelligent! They never thought about continuing the Great Old Ones. The Great Old Ones collapsed when they were supposed to.”
“But the key problem is,” Nyarko gave a wry smile, “that no ruler of the next era has been born.”
“…Huh?” Su Han’s eyebrows twitched.
"Well, take us Great Old Ones, for example. Our powerful rise back then! Even if we didn't have the desire to unify and dominate the entire Void Sea... because no one was our match, we objectively were. In the end, we were crowned!"
Nyarko spread her palms, somewhat helplessly, and said, "However, after Azathoth's death, the entire Void Sea remained calm. In your words, it was clearly time for a change of dynasty, yet no one raised a flag of rebellion!"
Su Han's lips twitched. Although Nyaruko's example made him want to retort, he did understand what she meant. He thought for a moment and continued, "So, what's the reason?"
"The reason is, well, there's something fishy about Azathoth's death."
