The recommended monthly tickets are so few, and this time it's four thousand characters again, I’m begging for all sorts of tickets!!!

Evangeline was utterly stunned. If what Lin Luo said was true, and the Creator referred to himself as 'Daughter,' then could she really be…?

"What happens next?" Mikoto asked, her eyes wide with anticipation.

Lin Luo didn't answer, instead looking towards Evangeline. "Eva, do you want to keep listening?"

"Go on," Evangeline replied. Internally, she struggled immensely. Honestly, if she truly was the Creator's daughter, facing that reality would be an incredibly difficult choice. But… she needed to know. Regardless of the conclusion, she had to know!

"Alright, then I shall continue," Lin Luo nodded, saying in a deep voice, "...But even though the Creator is omnipotent, he is not all-powerful. Creating a permanent life form is not a simple matter. After all, that is entirely different from a projection. Creating an Amadilu was already his limit, and creating an immortal Amadilu is exponentially harder."

"However, things weren't completely without progress. After more than a thousand years of research, he finally figured out a method. Of course, I'm not entirely clear on the specifics of what method he used, as I only obtained about five-tenths of the information. While researching how to create the 'Second Daughter,' he was also setting up other plans, because he wasn't one hundred percent certain the 'Second Daughter' would turn out exactly as he imagined."

"Putting the other plans aside for now, the second daughter was created about seven hundred years ago..." Hearing this, Evangeline breathed a slight sigh of relief, yet felt an inexplicable disappointment. Of the things she didn't know, she only knew her own lifespan couldn't exceed seven hundred years, so the second daughter couldn't be her. But quickly, her heart was raised again, as Lin Luo shifted his narrative.

"The time was around seven hundred and fifty years ago. The Creator used his own blood to create the second daughter. However, due to technical issues, although this daughter possessed a vital breath, she was unable to move. The conditions for true immortality were too demanding, so to preserve the second daughter's life functions, the Creator placed her in stasis, deep-frozen. It wasn't until more than a hundred years later that he found a remedy and released the second daughter from the ice."

Evangeline’s expression immediately tightened… The timeline matched perfectly!

"Even after more than a century, when the second daughter was finally released, she was still an infant. Furthermore, both her physical functions and other characteristics were identical to an ordinary person. At this moment, the Creator conceived a bold idea… Amadilu grew up naturally in the magical world. While she suited his intentions, she still had some inherent flaws. So, what kind of development would occur if the second daughter were placed in the real world?"

Evangeline’s fingers dug in almost to the bone… The location also matched perfectly!

Lin Luo glanced at her, ultimately continuing, "This idea became irresistible in the Creator's mind. Although he cherished this daughter deeply, she possessed eternal life, so he maintained a certain level of detachment regarding her fate. Thus, he sent the second daughter to a castle in Europe within the real world. Of course, before doing so, the Creator implemented some modifications, sealing away all of this daughter's power. Only when the daughter reached the age of ten did he utilize a unique method to awaken her power, and at that very moment, the daughter’s life form also changed…"

There was no need to continue further. Hearing up to this point, no one—no matter who—could fail to recognize who the Creator's second daughter was. Even if they had guessed it initially, seeing it confirmed was an entirely different matter. The faces of all the women present were filled with shock.

"That’s right. The Creator's second daughter is you, Evangeline McDowell. That is the name he bestowed upon you. You are also his greatest hope; you carry the blood of the Creator," Lin Luo said, looking directly at Evangeline.

"Why… why is it like this?" Evangeline's face grew somewhat pale. It sounded like she was talking to herself, yet also like an accusation. Hate? Of course, there was hate. If the Creator hadn't twisted her into what she was, how could she have endured such a harsh existence? Over a hundred years spent either killing or being hunted—a cruelty ordinary people couldn't even imagine. But!

Her life was created by the Creator; her power was granted by the Creator. The relaxed, carefree life she now enjoyed was also entirely thanks to the Creator. What right did she have to hate him?

"Forget it, I’m fine. Please continue," Seeing everyone else looking awkward, unsure how to react, Evangeline quickly said, her expression returning to normal just as fast. After all, she was a Vampire Progenitor who had lived for over six hundred years. While this revelation was a massive shock, she still knew what needed to be done and how to proceed.

Lin Luo nodded. If it had been anyone else, maintaining composure now would have been difficult, but he felt utterly assured about Evangeline. He continued, "Besides the daughter, the Creator had two other plans. One of those plans involved the Ancient Inheritors. He intended to forge a new balance by combining the ancient era with the current one. Naturally, this endeavor failed because the two eras could not merge."

"Each Inheritor met their end at the Creator's hands. The first was too weak; after fifty years of studying ancient magic, he couldn't even reach the World Class. The second Inheritor possessed exceptional talent but was overly ambitious, attempting to supplant the Creator, and was ultimately slain by him as well. The third Inheritor was Naji’s master. He was perhaps the one the Creator was most satisfied with; he even collaborated with the Creator at one point. Alas, his excessively long life made him incapable of tolerating loneliness, and he eventually parted ways with the Creator, perishing by his own hand."

"After these three failures, the Creator lost hope in the Inheritor path. He discarded the Book of Origins in the real world and never looked back. It wasn't until I accidentally obtained it that he once again placed expectations upon the Inheritors."

"The second plan, however, he handled himself—this matter that we all know about. It was first attempted twenty years ago but was halted by Naji and the others. Naturally, the Creator used that opportunity afterward to seize Naji’s body, and now, the attempt has begun again."

"Wait, I have a question," Mokona suddenly raised her hand, asking in confusion. "Since the Creator intended for Evangeline to replace Amadilu and had the idea of cooperating with Teacher, why did he want to destroy the humans of this world?"

It wasn't just her who held this doubt; nearly everyone present thought the same. If this world were destroyed, wouldn't both Evangeline and Lin Luo become unnecessary? This seemed utterly counterproductive.

Lin Luo smiled and explained, "Because the Creator does not deal in single choices. If his current action fails, he still has me as an option. Even if my path also fails, he still has a daughter. And if his current action succeeds, all he needs to do is project a new instance. Then, the daughter with her long-lasting life force can fulfill his wish."

"So that's how it is," the women instantly understood. Looking at it this way, the Creator was indeed no simple figure; his plans were layered one after another. "No wonder he didn't kill Teacher before; he had this in mind."

"Yes," Lin Luo affirmed. "The truth is, the Creator never intended to kill anyone. Even the people of this magical world, he didn't actually murder them; he merely imprisoned them within a complete, self-contained world."

"Then the Creator is quite a benevolent person," Mokona commented innocently.

"Well, one can't exactly say that. In reality, the Creator doesn't adhere to concepts of good or evil; it’s just that his perspective on things differs greatly from ours." As he spoke, Lin Luo couldn't help but look toward Mercury Lamp. The Creator and Mercury Lamp were both beings possessing divinity, yet Mercury Lamp lacked divine power, whereas the Creator was the god of this world.

"So, should we still try to stop the Creator?" Sakuya suddenly posed a crucial question. Everyone immediately looked at Lin Luo. Several girls were no longer strongly hostile toward the Creator, as what the Creator sought was simply to make this world more peaceful—certainly not an evil goal.

"Of course," Lin Luo replied without hesitation. "Whether what the Creator is doing is right or wrong, I will not comment, nor do I have the qualifications to comment. But my battle against him is inevitable. It's not about saving the humans of this world, but about fulfilling my own promise."

"A promise made to the Creator?" Sakuya inquired.

"That's only a part of it," Lin Luo replied vaguely, smiling lightly. "Well, you don't need to worry. We are not natives of this world, so the Creator won't seek to kill us. Therefore, when the time comes, we just need to fight him honorably."

"That may be so, but do you have confidence in defeating him?" Evangeline gave Lin Luo a look of disdain.

"I didn't before, but I do now," Lin Luo grinned confidently. "Didn't I just say? I have already found the opportunity to defeat him."

"What is that opportunity?" Mikoto asked curiously.

"The opportunity is the Creator’s daughter."

"Huh!" At these words, everyone froze. Evangeline even shot him a withering glare. "Are you joking? I can't even move a muscle in the Creator's presence."

"That’s why I said you are the opportunity."

"What do you mean?"

"How do we do it?"

The women were intensely curious about Lin Luo's statement, but when it came to the specifics, Lin Luo suddenly looked troubled. "Well, this part… I need to keep it confidential for now."

"What?!" The women were instantly crestfallen, but no matter how much they pressed, Lin Luo remained silent. Instead, he ushered them all out of the room. "Anyway, I’m already recovered, so everyone should head back to your rooms and sleep."

"Wait! That’s my room!" It wasn't until they had walked a considerable distance that Evangeline suddenly remembered her space had been usurped. She immediately stormed back the way they came, her figure bristling with anger. However, just as she reached the threshold, she felt a hand grab hers, and in the next instant, she was pulled into a dark space.

"What are you doing?!" Evangeline glared hatefully at the figure before her, her tone clearly displeased.

"Of course, I’m finding you to discuss things," Lin Luo’s voice emerged from the darkness. Then, with a snap, light flooded the area, dispelling the gloom. Before her was an incredibly opulent room. Evangeline recognized it as one of the chambers on the lowest floor of her own castle—being nobility, every room was exquisitely furnished.

"Didn't you just ask me what the opportunity to defeat the Creator was? I’m telling you now."

"You wouldn't say it before, so now I’m not interested in hearing it," Evangeline huffed.

She was being deliberately contrary.

"Because this matter can only be told to you alone. If the others found out, it would cause significant trouble," Lin Luo said with a smile, taking one of her hands and leading her toward the balcony railing.

Evangeline’s heart began to race. Instinctively, she tried to pull her hand back, but Lin Luo held on tightly. After several unsuccessful attempts, she adopted an angry posture. "You… what are you trying to do? Just say what you need to say!"

Lin Luo walked to the railing and sat down, patting the spot next to him. "Sit down first. I will explain it to you in detail."

Evangeline hesitated for a moment, but under the intense gaze of Lin Luo, she finally sat down obediently, deliberately speaking in a cold tone, "Speak. I want to hear what this supposed opportunity of yours is."

Lin Luo first organized his words in his mind, then leaned in close to Evangeline's ear and whispered, "The situation is actually like this…"

"What did you say?!" Upon hearing Lin Luo's words, Evangeline sprang up from the seat, her face a mixture of shame and fury, pointing at him so hard she could barely speak. "You… how can there be such utterly absurd things! This is nothing but a joke!"

"I am not joking," Lin Luo spread his hands, appearing innocent. "You know, the prerequisite for me to use Rule Power is the analysis of World Rules. In the real world, I’ve solved half of it. The other half resides in the magical world. And since this world was created by the Creator, the key to analyzing that other half lies with the Creator."

"Then… then go find the Creator! I have nothing to do with this magical world," the young woman’s face flushed crimson.

"How could you have nothing to do with it? Although I wasn't clear before, the battle with the Creator revealed many things to me. You are the Creator's daughter, inheriting his blood and magic. Therefore, fundamentally, you are also the reality of this world." Saying this, Lin Luo stood up and wrapped his arms around the young woman from behind, forcing a wry smile. "You certainly can’t expect me to go do that with the Creator, can you? Even if he were willing, I… Forget it, it’s too repulsive, I won’t say it."

"So, in order to analyze the World Rules, I must… do that… with you…" By the time she reached the end, the young woman had lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

"It’s not entirely for that reason. Even without the World Rules, I would want to do that with you… That’s the truth. And your emotional barrier should be resolved by now, right?"

"Th-that’s what you say, but…"

"No buts. If you're shy, you lose," Before she could finish, Lin Luo swept the young woman up and decisively pushed her down onto the surface. "At a time like this, action is all that’s needed."

Lin Luo lowered his head and pressed his lips firmly against the young woman’s mouth.
