When the plot-skips players into the game world

Chapter 1088: Chapter 424: Chaos at Star Antimony

April 1st—it was Fool’s Day.

The number four itself is the Holy Number of the Path of Wisdom, just as the “Fools’ Chants Manual” itself is a Codex Book of the Path of Wisdom.

This was the day the elves commemorated the death of Dionysus the Fool, before the era of Eternal Self began.

Now, there are hardly any humans left who remember this event.

Back then, Eternal Self had yet to ascend to the Seat of the Pillar God, the Dawn Celestial Marshal had yet to be born; the age of the “Beast” had not ended, and the rule of “Strength” still prevailed—in a world shrouded in endless darkness, everything was primitive and savage. The winner took all, the weak were meat for the strong.

The Fool wandered the earth, behaving madly and recklessly, sarcastically praising the great figures as “Sages,” yet ruthlessly pointing out their selfishness, ignorance, stubbornness, madness, and greed. Even the Church and the Pope often found themselves the target of his criticism.

He sympathized with mortals who were helpless and precarious amidst the grinding of the divine wars, calling them “Fools,” while simultaneously berating, pitying, and praising them.

Such a stance naturally earned him many enemies.

However, the Fool had many friends, and coupled with his undeniable strength, he left people utterly exasperated. In many places, the great figures would respectfully entertain the Fool, fearing he might again say something troublesome, or inscribe his scathing remarks about them into poems that would be passed down through the ages.

Although he was strong, he stood on the side of the weak.

At that time, the Sun had yet to rise; the Fool was the only flame in the night.
