Chapter 604
Even as a Level 5 Mage, he had dared to proclaim himself the strongest mage in the entire world.
Back then, he had only been on a small island in the Secret Sea, within a tiny nation on that island.
He had never seen the true vastness of the world.
He knew nothing of the height of the heavens or the depth of the earth.
Who would dare claim to be the strongest in the world at Level 5?
Everyone thought him arrogant—until later, when they realized... he had been telling the truth.
Buzz!
Izparut seized a single ray of light from within the void!
Then the light instantly swept across the world!
Magic was born once more. The complete origin reappeared upon the world.
From that moment on, the name of the Origin was crowned with Izparut.
Legends of the origin would henceforth begin with the tale of a mage who shattered the old origin.
Level 10 Mage—Origin.
God of Magic and Origin—Izparut.
Kanzaki Rei descended beside Izparut.
Izparut looked at the approaching Kanzaki Rei and smiled. "You’re here."
"Master Izparut, congratulations."
Izparut sighed softly. "The origin truly wasn’t simple."
"You’re not simple either, Kanzaki Rei."
Kanzaki Rei: "Indeed. Even I didn’t expect it..."
"I’m sorry about Akasei’s matter."
Izparut: "It’s fine. I know... it wasn’t your current consciousness that wanted to harm him."
"Besides, Akasei isn’t dead."
Izparut: "We can resurrect him."
"This world still needs reshaping. Kumironi is reviving all living beings across the planet."
"We have plenty of time."
...
Izparut had become another god capable of walking the mortal world.
Just like the Moon God: White.
Both were Moon God-level combatants who could move freely across the world without restriction.
Together with Kanzaki Rei, there were now three Moon God-level existences in the world who could act without any limitations.
August.
Inside his Divine Kingdom, Kanzaki Rei brought Matsusei over.
There were no enemies. No natural predators.
No threats to life whatsoever.
This was the first time he could live so leisurely.
The young Matsusei received tutelage from both Izparut and Kanzaki Rei at the same time.
September.
The Tree of Wisdom grew once more. In less than a single month, it had formed a vast sea of trees, its rolling canopy covering every corner of the world.
This time, the Tree of Wisdom was far larger in scale than before.
It grew new roots and new branches. These branches birthed brand-new, radiant spiritualities—completely different from the Tree of Wisdom that Kanzaki Rei had nearly hollowed out.
This was a newly born Tree of Wisdom,孕育ing fresh spiritualities once again!
...
Under Kumironi’s nurturing, although the world’s living beings had not fully revived, the Tree of Wisdom already covered the entire planet, reshaping its environment anew.
Throughout this process, the Moon Gods watched, but none of them moved to stop it.
Not a single Moon God intervened or acted against Kumironi’s actions.
In the month of September, Kanzaki Rei finally raised his Mage class to Level 8.
With the origin reshaped, starting over to understand the new origin allowed Kanzaki Rei’s comprehension of it to advance without stagnation.
In addition, his Blacksmith, Alchemist, and Enchanter classes had all reached Level 8.
His Prophet class had risen to Level 7.
Although his Creator class remained at Level 1, Level 2 was the upper limit for the Creator class, and the requirements for advancement were indeed quite stringent.
After completing these level-ups, Kanzaki Rei’s spirituality surged even more powerfully.
In this month, Akasei was resurrected.
Along with him, Loti—who had been killed alongside him by Kanzaki Rei—was also revived.
October...
After the sea of trees covered the entire world, Kanzaki Rei accepted Kumironi’s invitation and helped her open up a new world.
The characteristics of the Creator class, combined with Kanzaki Rei’s current new Divine Kingdom and the fantasy effects from the depths, already allowed him to create an entirely new world from nothing.
Ding!
Accompanied by complex construction, a world that was slightly illusory yet carried a trace of reality was born.
It was a brand-new plane.
Not long afterward, Kumironi revived a portion of the beings who had previously died, entrusting their lives to this world. These were new lives granted by Kumironi.
These beings gained the property of immortality.
They could not be killed.
Even if they were completely slain, they would revive in the core region of this plane. Here, the underworld and the mortal world overlapped, blurring the concept of reincarnation.
Although killing these newly revived people felt somewhat cruel, since Kumironi could revive them again, Kanzaki Rei still killed them several times.
He personally witnessed them reviving completely unharmed after being killed again and again.
Kanzaki Rei understood... the world Kumironi had once promised was gradually taking shape.
Yet seeing the way these people revived felt strangely familiar...
It was almost exactly like players in a game resurrecting at a fountain after death.
In the future, people might truly lose the concept of death. Perhaps the way they lived would carry the same mindset he had when playing MMOs back on Earth?
At the end of October, Izparut became a Moon God, taking the place originally held by April.
Thereafter, April became—the Month of Izparut, Origin and Magic.
He was also the first existence to become both a Level 10 Mage and a Moon God.
...
Yug seemed to be traveling everywhere, discussing various matters with different beings.
As for the nests.
Kanzaki Rei visited several of the nests that still existed and met their masters.
The monsters that had once invaded the mortal world now feared Kanzaki Rei like a venomous snake, trembling in terror.
Even the Twin Lords of the Twin Nest directly expressed their submissive respect toward him.
Afterward, Kanzaki Rei met several people he wished to see.
One was Yuinri, the one who had granted wisdom to monsters and served as the lord of wisdom for all monsters... When Kanzaki Rei found him, he was being devoured and contained within the body of the "Lord of All Anomalies."
As for the "Lord of All Anomalies," Kanzaki Rei simply tore it open, ripping its belly apart and pulling Yuinri out by reversing time.
The master of the Anomaly Nest had strength that approached Moon God level.
But unfortunately, it had not reached true Moon God realm.
Back when he raised both Warrior and Death Priest to Level 8 and fused all his divine artifacts, Kanzaki Rei had been able to personally slay Egmisa and inflict heavy damage.
Now, after two months of consolidation, facing Kanzaki Rei with seven Level 8 classes, any existence that had not reached true Moon God realm stood no chance.
The puzzle was solved.
Yuinri had gone searching for nests to test his hypothesis of granting wisdom to monsters. His original intention was to give monsters intelligence so they could coexist harmoniously with intelligent life.
In this way, he hoped to reduce conflicts between monsters and intelligent beings.
After all, if everyone possessed wisdom, they could simply sit down and talk things out.
But he had misunderstood the nature of the world.
Without sufficient strength, doing such things would only lead to his own ruin.
He had been trapped inside a nest.
And his lifelong research had been exploited by the monsters...
Ultimately, through his research, countless intelligent monsters capable of invading the mortal world were created, becoming one of the sources of the monster upheavals in recent years.
...
At the same time, in October, Kanzaki Rei finally resurrected his parents.
Upon reviving, they discovered the world had completely changed.
Where were they? Was this still Earth?
What were Moon Gods?
Wait—this was another world? And their son had become the most powerful existence in the entire world?
What did it mean to destroy the world with a flip of the hand? What did it mean that this world was larger than the universe? That the original universe had only been one Moon God’s Divine Kingdom—and not even a complete world at that?
Kanzaki Rei’s parents struggled to accept this shocking knowledge.
But when they saw him casually unleash a slash that stretched billions of kilometers, they believed.
It wasn’t that Kanzaki Rei’s attack could only reach that far.
It was simply that keeping it close made it easier for them to accept.
...
November.
Kanzaki Rei rested properly for the entire month...
During this month, he only occasionally taught Matsusei about magic or visited the newly established plane, wandering the world a little.
At the same time, he pondered whether monsters should continue to exist.
If monsters vanished completely, the world would lose a portion of valuable resources, as monster materials were quite useful.
Without monsters, advancing many classes would also face considerable difficulties...
Nests might still need to exist, but under controlled conditions.
In this month, several people familiar with Kanzaki Rei were also resurrected.
For example, Loss and Lotdan.
But thinking about it carefully, he actually hadn’t met that many people in this world.
Aside from the friends he made when he first arrived in the Secret Sea, the people he encountered afterward were always in a hurry.
And full of schemes and calculations.
Very few could truly be called friends. Most of his meetings with others had only occurred during future simulations, not in the real world.
If counting only real-world time, ten years ago—from August to May.
Ten years later, it had only been one hurried month.
Excluding the month spent in the second timeline, the total time Kanzaki Rei had spent in the present world amounted to less than a full year.
So the people he had truly gotten to know in reality were only a handful.
His former friends had become existences who could now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Moon Gods.
Loss felt as if everything from the past was like a dream.
Loss had actually died two years earlier.
Killed by monsters.
Her strength wasn’t particularly high—she was merely a slightly more capable Healer. Even after becoming a Level 4 Healer, she had spent ten years without breaking through to Level 5.
She was the type who might have remained stuck at Level 4 for life.
Compared to the various geniuses Kanzaki Rei had encountered along his journey, the gap was like night and day.
So being revived now and seeing this world again felt incredibly surreal to her.
...
November passed quietly. Shanna of Storage and Cold made no other moves.
The world reached December.
December was the month of White.
In past years, this month had been accompanied by death and destruction—the highest mortality rate of any month.
But this year, it was exceptionally peaceful.
White.
She should be called Hakuro.
As the Moon God of Death and Destruction, she actually had no real interest in destruction.
She simply wanted to return to the world and experience all things like an ordinary person.
However, as a Moon God, she had always been bound by duty. Becoming a Moon God meant influencing the world.
If she did not affect the world, her existence as a Moon God would fade.
Becoming a Moon God was not as simple as imagined—it was a double-edged sword.
But now that the bindings had been lifted, she no longer wished to destroy anything.
During these short two months, she had blended in with the first batch of revived mortals like an ordinary person, living an ordinary life.
This December felt as peaceful as a pure moon.
At the same time, Kanzaki Rei finally clashed once more with Yomei, Akasei, and the War God Kaiga in December.
Through this exhilarating battle, Kanzaki Rei stepped into the realm of a Level 9 Warrior.
With that, there were now three Level 9 Warriors in the world.
It should not have been so easy.
But the balance had been broken. Restrictions on intelligent life were minimal, leveling had become much easier, and various limits had been greatly relaxed.
At the end of December, his second class successfully reached Level 9.
It was not the combat-oriented Death Priest, but a class he used constantly.
Cryptologist—Level 9.
Thanks to the help Yug had provided all along, Kanzaki Rei had already unraveled the majority of the world’s mysteries.
Upon reaching Level 9 as a Cryptologist, everything became clear. He finally understood Yug’s true intentions...
Yug’s wisdom was truly astonishing.
From five thousand years ago until now, everything had been within his schemes. Even the appearance of unpredictable existences had failed to alter Yug’s original plan.
The polluted origin nest’s ability to gather the spiritualities of the Tree of Wisdom had involved his interference as well.
Without him, Kanzaki Rei’s own birth would never have happened, and the polluted origin nest could not have gathered so much spirituality.
The ritual in which the polluted origin nest descended upon the mortal world and gathered all the branches of the Tree of Wisdom had come entirely from Yug.
He had used the polluted origin nest to gather spirituality.
He had used Loti to construct fantasy.
He had made Kanzaki Rei call out to Ekhator.
Yakartikto’s ascension to Moon God had also involved Yug’s meddling, provoking the secret conflict between Rona and Yakartikto.
The fall of the War and Fire god Barnei had been his doing as well.
Through countless intricate connections, he had finally achieved the conditions he envisioned.
A being possessing all spiritual branches, with the consciousness of the polluted origin nest sealed inside, and a body that held the essence of the polluted origin nest.
The second condition was Ekhator being integrated by Neherkato, forming a new Time God will.
The third condition was two vacant Moon God positions—one given to Izparut, the other left for Kanzaki Rei.
The fourth condition was the reshaping of the Tree of Wisdom.
January 5037.
The month of Oblivion arrived once more. In Pari’s Book of Prophecies, this month would see mysteries unveiled.
However, with Kanzaki Rei’s current level, there was nothing left in this entire world that could frighten him.
