After listening to Lin Yu's analysis, the Sleepless Night Family Head let out a long sigh.

"Ah, the methods of you 'Otherworldly Visitors' are truly impossible to guard against..."

"However, it ultimately was my negligence and carelessness. Ever since becoming the Chosen One of the God of Wisdom, relying on the fact that there are few things in this world I don't understand, my scheming has always been a bit rough, and I've always overlooked the fact that I actually don't know much about you Otherworldly Visitors."

Saying this, the Sleepless Night Family Head stretched lazily: "Of course, I also have to blame that fellow Furbollo... Among the 'Players' you mentioned, you should be considerably stronger than him, right?"

"Actually, the difference isn't that great," Lin Yu said modestly. "We're just good at different things."

The Sleepless Night Family Head laughed. "You're really giving him a lot of face. It seems you and Furbollo truly get along well... Just the fact that you have a god backing you means you're far stronger than him."

Then, the Sleepless Night Family Head paused before readily admitting and responding to Lin Yu's earlier question.

"Just as you said, it was indeed me who issued the C-77 commission... As for the motive, I wasn't acting out of considerations for family interests, nor did I issue this commission as the Sleepless Night Family Head."

"My actions were driven by a reason on a higher level..."

She pointed upwards.

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised.

"Something on the level of the gods?"

"Yes. You already know that Arlan used a certain 'ritual' to forge the concept of 'life,' and then used another 'ritual' to fuse that 'life' with Alt," the Sleepless Night Family Head said calmly. "I can now tell you that the first ritual was a divine art from the 'God of Life' called 'Creation of All Things.' This is also the foundation that allows the Divine Power Group to produce artificial humans. It is his legitimate ability as the 'Chosen One of the God of Life.'"

"As for the other ritual... He performed it deep within the Great Wasteland, utilizing the power of an Outer God from another world by borrowing the 'Boundary Gate.'"

"Before you Otherworldly Visitors arrived, we had already observed the existence of other worlds. Especially if a Chosen One asks the god they worship, the gods never conceal the existence of other worlds and other deities."

"Although most of the products from other worlds in this 'Wasteland Realm' I reside in now were brought by 'Otherworldly Visitors,' before that... we could actually rely on the 'Boundary Gate' to exchange goods and knowledge with the top-tier existences of other worlds."

"And the ritual utilized by Arlan Mercury came from another deity of another world, borrowing that 'god's' power."

Hearing this, Lin Yu was briefly stunned for a moment, but he wasn't surprised.

Regarding the god mentioned by the Sleepless Night Family Head, he vaguely had a candidate in mind.

Therefore, Lin Yu decided to probe the Sleepless Night Family Head's attitude.

"So, is it that the God of Wisdom behind you is dissatisfied with the other party overreaching and thus intends to eliminate their influence?"

Hearing Lin Yu's words, the Sleepless Night Family Head shook her head. "My Lord does not possess such rich emotions. This was my own decision."

"I am also not dissatisfied with that god or Arlan. It's just that for me, if there is an opportunity to observe the methods of a god from another world and gain some understanding, it would be greatly beneficial for both me and the God of Wisdom. After all, Authority and gods both contain 'wisdom and knowledge.' So, merely 'knowing' can bring help and improvement."

Lin Yu spoke up, surprised. "I see. Then why choose this moment to issue the commission? Hasn't he been like this for fifty years already?"

"Because I could observe while he was alive. It's just that recently, the changes have been 'fully seen,' requiring some change and a more direct observation method. That's why I decided to disrupt this ritual."

"On the other hand... this is the optimal timing deduced through divination," the Sleepless Night Family Head narrowed her eyes. "Your arrival was already recorded among the myriad truths."

As she spoke, she reached out into the air and pulled out a thick book from thin air.

Lin Yu felt a lightness in his embrace. The "Celestial Register" he had been holding had disappeared.

"The Celestial Register told me that there was a chance an 'Otherworldly Visitor' capable of breaking the deadlock would come here... and that he himself also had countless connections to that ritual."

Hearing this, Lin Yu nodded.

"I see. It seems the god behind me and the one Arlan invited are very likely the same one."

He murmured softly, but the Sleepless Night Family Head shook her head instead.

"No, that's impossible."

Lin Yu found it strange. "Why is it impossible?"

"The symbol and representation of the god behind you is a 'Crow,' right?" the Sleepless Night Family Head said seriously. "Indeed, the Authority wielded by that god from the Misty Islands is very similar to the effect of Arlan's ritual... but they are not the same."

Lin Yu didn't deny it, just continued asking. "What's the difference?"

"Matters of gods from other worlds, I cannot say clearly," the Sleepless Night Family Head said offhandedly. "I am just very certain that the power and ritual Arlan borrowed from this god... comes from a god of another world who has already fallen."

Hearing this, Lin Yu was utterly astonished. "A fallen god?"

"Yes," the Sleepless Night Family Head flipped the pages of the book. "As for which one, I don't know either... Perhaps after you completely destroy the ritual, I will be able to draw a conclusion."

The Sleepless Night Family Head said this, then picked up Sleepless Sky Huoxing, who had been eavesdropping nearby. "Anyway... all that needed to be said has been said. There are no more misunderstandings or suspicions between you and me. So, you may begin."

"Go ahead and complete my commission. When everything is settled, I will give you everything you deserve—the reward for this commission, and all the information I have observed about the ritual."

Lin Yu nodded. "Good, then it's a deal... Respected Sleepless Night Family Head, cooperating with you has been very pleasant."

"Making you feel pleasant was precisely my goal. I can see that as an Otherworldly Visitor, if you don't perish in some other world, your future will surely be boundless," the Sleepless Night Family Head said with emotion. "You are different from that fellow Furbollo... I have a premonition that before long, perhaps by our next meeting, you will likely grow to a level where you can stand as my equal and be of great help to me."

"So... everything I am doing now, the goodwill I am showing, can also be considered a kind of investment."

"Alright, I won't disturb you any further—you may proceed with your plan as usual."

"What do you plan to do?"

Lin Yu asked curiously.

"Discipline my useless daughter... Although I am not shocked by her actions, bringing a hundred corpses to defile this sacred hall, and using 'Life Lineage' alchemy to manipulate those corpses—such disrespectful behavior truly deserves severe correction."

As the Sleepless Night Family Head spoke, she held Sleepless Sky Huoxing with one hand and with the other, lightly flicked her sleeve, sweeping up all the corpses, and then just left the hall directly.

Sleepless Sky Huoxing's screams rang out continuously. "No! Help! Mr. Freud, say something for me!"

Lin Yu merely watched the mother and daughter depart, waving goodbye.

Afterwards, when the hall fell silent again, Lin Yu finally completely relaxed.

"It's truly over now—next, I just need to wrap things up."
