This Outer God Is Not So Cold [Lord of the Mysteries]

[Third-person narration]

[No CP. The protagonist is a true Outer God.]

[The story begins with Zhou Mingrui's arrival in the Fifth Epoch.]

Hello, everyone. I am the Outer God [Eternal Silence Observer].

But I am not here to invade.

I simply love observing all intelligent life, watching these vivid, brilliant, warm beings gradually grow numb, fade, and turn cold.

My daily life consists of chatting and fighting with beings on my level, observing the blue planet nearest to me, and, every so often, trying to send a few wisps of my consciousness through the barrier to snatch up some "food" when the opportunity arises.

And so...

In the Old Era, I lived in a country with a flourishing food culture, falling asleep when disaster struck;

In the Dark Epoch, the Ancient Sun God and his followers chased me around as I wandered across the continents;

In the Era of Glory, I witnessed the Ancient Sun God's light abruptly go out, and was unlucky enough to be locked away in the Forsaken Land of the Gods;

In the Era of the Gods, I took part in the War of the Four Emperors, witnessed the struggle among the Seven Gods, and watched the Pale Disaster unfold. I took the chance to eat a few "snacks," only to be hunted by the Seven Gods and the Chained God. Even my true body in the starry sky was chased by the Mother Tree of Desire;

I was there in every epoch.

I watched in every epoch.

All I did in every epoch was eat.

Now, in the Black Iron Age, I have made the acquaintance of Roselle, who may be a contingency plan for the resurrection of the Lord of Mysteries. I have witnessed with my own eyes the founding, interruption, and reestablishment of the Republic of Intis...

I am a neutral, harmless, and not entirely pure observer.

Only sometimes. Truly, only sometimes.

I help an intelligent being I happen to like.

Then I go back to observing, watching them keep walking, reach the heights, arrive at the end, and...

Oh, they're dead.

What a shame :)

Next.

Until June 28, 1349, when I once again sensed the aura of Sefirah Castle, coming from Tingen City in the Loen Kingdom.

This might make for a very interesting subject to observe.

I'm off!
