For a Angel of Judgment in the fifth epoch, slumber was a common state.
Unlike the third epoch, when the Ancient Sun God was constantly healing, allowing Angel of Judgment to act recklessly, or the early to Middle Stage of the fourth epoch, when most important figures were still present and anchors were stable, he could largely maintain his humanity.
The upheaval in the 510th year of the fourth epoch, the demise of his close friend Medici, and the betrayal of Amon, Adam, and Tudor, all crucial figures in Angel of Judgment's life, almost shook his most stable anchor, leaving his state increasingly precarious.
Thus, by the fifth epoch, Angel of Judgment had to resort to long periods of slumber to maintain his state. In the more than one thousand years before he met Roselle, his conscious time probably only added up to two or three hundred years.
Of course, Lin Ruo had no specific memories regarding this. So he wasn't clear about what he had done during those two or three hundred years of wakefulness before meeting Roselle; he only had a general concept. More specific memory content would likely require unlocking the corresponding memories to understand.
Lin Ruo only knew that he met Roselle after waking up from another slumber of over a hundred years, finding his state finally stabilized somewhat, and thus decided to go out for a stroll and find some fun.
But Angel of Judgment did not initially target Roselle, because at that time, he indeed had no memory of the original plot of "Mysteries." He merely wandered for a few days, discovered that Intis actually showed signs of an industrial revolution, and decided to join the fun, unexpectedly discovering the existence of a suspected Transmigration.
"Romeo and Juliet... Tsk, what a coincidence!"
The past Lin Ruo leaned against the wall, flipping through the current bestseller "Romeo and Juliet," his eyes filled with intense interest.
"Clap—"
Lin Ruo in the memory closed the book, looked at the large characters "By Roselle" on the cover, and a smile played on his lips.
"I wondered why one cocoon on Sefirah Castle was missing; turns out he 'descended'."
As someone who had once fought alongside the Ancient Sun God and had some connection with Sefirah Castle, the past Lin Ruo, though without memories of the original novel, knew the true history of this world and the origins of the cocoons on Sefirah Castle.
He had checked Sefirah Castle upon his latest awakening, found one cocoon missing, and wondered if it might be another Evernight Goddess. But now it seemed this gentleman was taking the path of a copycat writer combined with technological nation-building.
"How exactly does Celestial Worthy choose people? They all seem to be talents," the past Lin Ruo couldn't help but sigh.
Although he had only seen three beings descend from the cocoons so far, including himself, who had used Sefirah Castle as a transit point to successfully descend into this world.
But looking at the ruthless Evernight Goddess, and then at Roselle, who, though still weak, was clearly very capable and might change an era in the future, one couldn't help but wonder if everyone from Sefirah Castle was a high-quality talent.
"But this one didn't choose the Cowardly Trio, haha, Celestial Worthy is probably going to be furious." As if thinking of something, the past Lin Ruo chuckled gleefully twice. After laughing, he placed the book on the table, looking at the bustling scenery outside the window, lost in thought:
"Things don't happen in threes. The next person to descend from Sefirah Castle won't be able to avoid this fate."
"At that time, my future will also become clear, right..."
He seemed to sigh, saying nothing more, only to then reveal an amused smile.
"This Roselle fellow is worth meeting. Maybe I'll have a steady supply of books to read in the future. Hmm, but I can't meet him directly with my Transmigration identity. What if he feels awkward and stops copying books? I'll just visit as a reader, keep my identity hidden, and reveal it after we're familiar. Then, after enjoying the books, I can even torment him. It's double the fun!"
Lin Ruo, who was quite decisive and often acted on impulse, quickly figured out Roselle's bottom line. Then, on a beautiful afternoon, he visited Roselle Gustav.
"You, you're Lin Ruo?" Roselle looked at the calm young man in front of him, who was drinking black tea, handsome and appearing to be only around twenty years old, with a face full of surprise. He couldn't connect the person in front of him with the powerful enemy Zaratul had spoken of. The other party looked like a harmless university student.
It must just be a coincidence of names, right?
Roselle had a guess in his heart. Although the other party's appearance was truly too coincidental—Zaratul had just left to avoid disaster, and then he showed up right after. But Roselle considered himself not very familiar with Zaratul, so there was no reason for the latter's enemy to seek revenge on him.
Thinking this, Roselle had just let out a sigh of relief when he heard the person in front of him calmly say:
"It seems that kid Zaratul mentioned me to you."
Roselle, who had just convinced himself: "..."
Damn it, so it really is that "Lin Ruo"!
"First, let me clarify, I'm not familiar with Zaratul. If you're looking for revenge, don't come to me." Roselle almost immediately chose to distance himself from a certain person.
"Not being familiar is best. Being friends with that kid is not a good thing. With that effort to interact with him, you might as well write two more books." The past Lin Ruo took a sip of tea and said with a gentle smile.
He naturally knew about the contact between little Zaratul and Mr. Roselle, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
For him, the feud with the Zaratul family had ended with old Zaratul. As long as little Zaratul didn't actively seek trouble with him, he was too lazy to bother with the other party.
Otherwise, for a mere Miracle Invoker, no matter how good he was at hiding, it would be an easy matter for the past Lin Ruo to deal with him.
"Huh?" Roselle clearly didn't expect such an answer. He looked at the young man with a gentle smile in front of him and instantly realized something:
Zaratul might consider Lin Ruo his lifelong enemy, but the other person clearly didn't take him seriously.
In that instant, Roselle even felt a little sympathy for Zaratul.
However, his sympathy lasted less than a second before he heard the gentle voice of the young man in front of him:
"I noticed that after you published 'Romeo and Juliet,' you haven't written a new book for three consecutive months. Have you encountered any difficulties?"
"Ah?" The abrupt change of topic made Roselle pause. He looked at the young man in front of him, and the young man's previous remark, "You might as well write two more books," flashed through his mind, instantly giving him a bad premonition. He tentatively asked, "You've read my books?"
"Of course, I'm your loyal reader." The past Lin Ruo nodded with a smile, saying, "'Romeo and Juliet,' 'The Red and the Black,' 'Pride and Prejudice'... I love every one of your books. So, Mr. Roselle, when do you plan to publish a new one?"
