Chapter 480: You're the Best of Your Civilization!
In the most bustling, largest city on the surface of the Mother Star lived the Three-eyed people.
A young Three-eyed person awoke once more from a dream.
Breathing heavily with uncertainty, he recalled the memories in his dream.
Unlike his previous dreams, which gradually became fuzzy until they disappeared,
this dream grew increasingly vivid, and as he stayed awake longer, even the details he had not noticed in the dream were crystal clear.
"Incredible, isn't it said that only heroes are tempted by the Evil God and dream of him?"
"Besides... was that figure in the dream really the Evil God?"
The Three-eyed youth felt a bit puzzled.
Recalling the scenes in the dream, in his mind, the humanoid True God who walked out of the Constant Star was filled with an impulse to be worshiped.
Additionally, the more he remembered the image of the True God,
the more the Three-eyed youth vaguely felt that his mind was filled with a plethora of knowledge he had never learned.
Instinctively, he didn't feel these pieces of knowledge would be harmful to himself or to the entire race of Three-eyed people.
Yet, being timid and cowardly, the Three-eyed youth also had no plans to attempt using the knowledge in his mind.
After all, in the current society of the Three-eyed people, turning on a communication device could show the overwhelming propaganda about the Evil God's threat to the world.
The youth understood clearly that this propaganda must be exaggerated, otherwise how could they explain the need to imprison or kill so many heroes?
After all, in the society of the Three-eyed people, every hero held quite a lofty status.
They were the idols that the majority of the Three-eyed people aspired to become from a young age.
Also, this propaganda was aimed at those new heroes who might suddenly awaken superpowers every year.
Although rare in number, no one knew when or under what conditions a Three-eyed person might suddenly awaken.
And whether those newly awakened would also dream about the Evil God.
It's all about precaution, just in case.
Therefore, the propaganda included reminders for new heroes who dream but have not registered to avoid getting tempted and not to try...
A few days ago, the Three-eyed youth was confused by these reminders.
Now he knew and understood that it was about not trying to use the knowledge from his dream.
"Looks like I really did dream of the Evil God."
"But why haven't I discovered my superpower?"
After clarifying the situation, the Three-eyed youth felt a bit excited, but quickly confused again.
The leadership of the Three-eyed people attached extreme importance to the matter of the Evil God, even conducting a health check for the entire population two days ago.
Thanks to the Three-eyed people having a unified society and technology that extended beyond the Mother Star.
This large-scale action was carried out smoothly under the active promotion by the leaders.
The school where the Three-eyed youth was, was one of the first places to conduct health checks two days ago.
To ensure accuracy, Spirit Light Stones appeared on site, giving everyone the chance to personally touch these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
The youth also underwent testing, and the result was quite unremarkable... no, it should be said his physical state was slightly below normal levels.
There was no special reaction from his contact with the Spirit Light Stone.
This also matched the youth's understanding of himself.
Wasn't he undoubtedly a weakling in school?
Day by day, serving as a free errand boy.
Fortunately, in the Three-eyed society, consumption was all based on credit points, and the school management was known for its strictness.
The old-days bullying for extortion had almost disappeared.
After all, whether transferring credit points or tracing the whereabouts of goods after purchase... all was too easily checked.
Realizing this, the Three-eyed youth grew uncertain again.
What if this was all just a beautiful dream fabricated by his subconscious due to the information he received lately?
If it were so, he would lose even the last bit of his dignity?
Thoughts like these led the Three-eyed youth to keep the dream a secret and not report it as the propaganda advised.
He cleaned up as usual and then went to school.
He hid alone on the rooftop to nap in the morning.
And then awoke once more from a dream.
His eyes wide open, slightly panicking.
He had dreamed again of the deity walking forth from the Constant Star.
And he faintly felt the figure becoming more and more distinct.
In his mind, echoes of a whisper received in the dream surfaced.
It was a language the Three-eyed youth had never heard before.
Yet the moment the voice sounded in his mind, he instinctively understood its meaning.
[I come from memory, to drift in the Memory River]
[The way of memory is the only salvation in this world]
"What does this mean."
"Memory should not be merely the memory of living beings."
"It feels more like the memory of the entire universe, possibly involving multi-dimensional universes?"
The concept startled the Three-eyed youth, feeling unfamiliar and fearful.
He was merely a weak student, whose greatest dream was to become a hero admired by others.
Yet now he was told the things he contacted involved the fate of entire universes, if not countless ones?
"No wonder the leaders consider this the Evil God."
"Even lies should be a bit more realistic, don't they know that even small rural sects start off by giving food and drink and by warming people's hearts?"
He muttered a few words softly.
The communication device at his ear suddenly rang.
