“The great Terminus Observer, Ash Heath! The good follows you and the evil reveres you! The light desires you, and the darkness yearns for you! You are the existence that transcends all, the colors that God has imbued upon all beings!”

“The great Terminus Observer, Ash Heath…”

Ash sat on the cold stone seat and looked at the large group of strange people in black robes before him. They were kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and praying to him. Beneath his cold expression, he was panicking.

One could hardly blame him for this. After all, he still remembered working in that damn mobile game company overnight until early morning, contributing what remained of his value the previous second. The next second, he had suddenly come to this strange underground hall, receiving worship from these people. No one would have been able to react appropriately.

What was even more miraculous was that Ash could understand their language, as naturally as if it were his mother tongue. He didn’t even need to think about it or a translation, and could understand what they meant directly. As he gradually began to calm down, he quickly came to the conclusion that he had transmigrated, and that his soul had transmigrated into someone with the same name.

Ever since he was young, many people had said that his name sounded very fantastical, but Ash never thought that he would encounter such a strange event one day.

However, he did not have the surname Heath, and it was precisely why he could quickly determine that he was not dreaming.

Not only did they have the same name, their appearances seemed to be similar. Furthermore, through moving his fingers, toes, and other basic parts, Ash found that his body felt nothing different. It was as if this were his original body. Everything was so nimble and natural that it made him wonder if he had transmigrated into himself in a parallel world.

For the sake of convenience in address, and since both of them had the same name, Ash inwardly called the original owner of this body “Heath”.

But these thoughts were of no help to the present state of affairs, for Ash realized that Heath had failed to leave him the most important thing.

Memory.

That’s right, memory!

It was as if he had reformatted Heath’s memories while he was transmigrating. Ash had no idea what to do next. He even maintained a calm expression with a trace of evil charm, afraid that others would see through the act.

Although the people before the stone throne were extremely respectful to him, if Ash slipped up at all, they would be as cruel after turning against him as they were respectful now. After all, from their perspective, Ash was this “evil soul from a foreign world” who had obliterated the soul Heath the Holy Son and occupied the Holy Son’s body, making him a true sinner. Coupled with their strong religious overtones, Ash didn’t think he could gain their understanding just by saying “actually, I’m a victim too”.

However, just sitting like this wasn’t the solution either. Ash was beginning to have trouble maintaining the inscrutable smile on his face.

Boom boom boom—

The underground hall suddenly rumbled. The black-robed men were overjoyed. They prostrated themselves and their foreheads hit the ground as they shouted in unison,

“We pray for the descent of the Divine Lord!”

Ash thought that there’s an earthquake. He tried to stand up, but found that he couldn’t stand up no matter what, as if his rear was stuck to the stone seat. Suddenly, dazzling lights lit up before his eyes. He looked up, and four bright rainbow lights appeared in the sky, bringing color and infinite warmth to the hall.

“The great Terminus Observer, Ash Heath!”

All of them spoke in unison, as if millions of people were speaking at the same time. “The only pure man of the dark and obscure world, the last warrior of the onerous earth, you bear the great responsibility of saving the world and the mission of saving all beings!”

“We shall pass through the Silver Celestial Wheel to bestow you with power. We shall break the Golden Celestial Scales to defend your glory! Your name is sacred. Your will is our will. Your country is the blessed land for all living beings!”

“Ash Heath!”

Before he knew it, Ash found himself genuflecting with his head lowered respectfully, waiting for the moment glory descended.

The leftmost red ball of light said, “I am the Lord of Billions of Lights, in charge of justice, courage, and honor! I will bestow upon you the Angel of Strength to purge all your enemies!”

A female angel with a spear and a pair of wings on her back flew in front of him. She was wearing red battle armor, and her body was only the size of a finger. However, her aura was imposing. Ash felt as if he could see a sea of blood and corpses behind her eyes.

The second blue ball of light on the left said, “I am the Lord of Wind, Rain and Snow, in charge of wisdom, change, and destiny! I will bestow upon you the Angel of Wisdom and help you achieve all your goals!”

A female angel wearing a blue hat and holding a notebook flew in front of him. She was also the size of a finger, and her eyes were deep, as if they contained boundless knowledge.

The second green ball of light on the right said, “I am the Heart of Eternal Heat, in charge of life, equality, and sharing. I will bestow upon you the Angel of Life and help you remain healthy forever!”

A luminescent green female angel that looked like a little girl flew in front of Ash. She was very cute, and there was a bright green halo surrounding her that was extremely warm and relaxing.

The rightmost pink ball of light said, “I am the Soul of Dreams and Freedom, in charge of love, joy, and art. I will bestow upon you the Angel of Joy and help you attain extraordinary charm!”

A beautiful pink angel flew in front of Ash. Her figure was graceful, and her eyes were captivating. Even though her body was only the size of a finger, she seemed to be the most beautiful existence in this world.

The four angels danced around Ash, adding a dazzling radiance to him. At this moment, Ash felt his energy surge out continuously. His body was full of energy, and his mood was incomparably joyous. Countless plans appeared in his mind. Everything felt most wonderful!

The Lord of Billions of Lights, Lord of Wind, Rain and Snow, Heart of Eternal Heat, and Soul of Dreams and Freedom said at the same time, “The warrior who is favored by fate, the observer with insight into karma, please create miracles and save the world!”

Following the sound of bubbles shattering, the four descending celestial gods gradually dissipated. But the underground hall remained bright, for Ash, who had four angels, was like a walking rainbow.

Ash clenched his fists. The corners of his mouth turned upwards, and he smiled confidently.
