— Ancient Sun God on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 1033 |
The Ancient Sun God, named Grisha, is the human Survivor from the Pre-Epoch who woke up from the Chaos Sea in Chernobyl at the beginning of the Second Epoch. "He" became a human savior who killed the Ancient Gods and led humans to dominate the world in the Third Epoch.
"He" was a Quasi Great Old One of the God Almighty group,[7] and was extremely close to being a Great Old One.[8] "He" had accommodated all required Uniquenesses and Sequence 1 Characteristics of all 5 pathways, and was almost equivalent to the owner of the Chaos Sea through Sasrir and the First Blasphemy Slate. "He" also possessed the Error Pathway Uniqueness.[9]
"He" had 8 Kings of Angels following "Him": the Dark Angel Sasrir, the Angel of Fate Ouroboros, the Red Angel Medici, the Wind Angel Leodero, the Wisdom Angel Herabergen, the White Angel Aucuses, as well as "His" two sons, the Angel of Time Amon and the Angel of Imagination Adam.
"He" died in the hands of Rose Redemption and betrayed by Leodero, Aucuses, and Herabergen. "His" death caused the Forsaken Land of the Gods to be cursed and separated from the world. The Second Blasphemy Slate immediately appeared during the time of "His" death.
"His" extreme emotions and humanities fused with "His" Hanged Man Pathway characteristics and the authority of Degeneration, together with "His" negative personality to create the True Creator; while "His" godhood awoke within Adam.
Honorific Name[]
"The Lord that Created Everything,
The Omnipotent and Omniscient,
The Source of Everything Great,
The Beginning and The End,
The God of Gods,
Ruler of the vast Astral World."
Symbol[]
The symbol of the Ancient Sun God is the grayish-white crosses and a sculpture of God bearing the cross.[11]
Appearance[]
Pre-Epoch[]
"His" original body has blonde hair and blue eyes.[12]
After waking up from the Chaos Sea in Second Epoch[]
A figure walked out-a man. He wore a black clergyman robe and had a silver crucifix hung on his chest.
This man's hair wasn't long and was mainly raven-black in color. There was a faint hint of blond at the roots of his hair. His eyes were pure gold in color, and his skin was rather white. He had a deep outline and pronounced eye sockets. He looked quite similar to the people of the Northern Continent.
"His" appearance (eye color and hair color) changed due to influences from Beyonder characteristics.[12]
History[]
Pre-Epoch[]
Modern Earth[]
"He" was a naturally talented researcher[13][12] working at a research institute in Chernobyl. "His" nationality was a bit sensitive[14]. While working in a research facility, "He" and other colleagues were researching the disappearance of oil. When the apocalypse began, the facility "He" worked at was one of the first sites that encountered supernatural phenomena due to its proximity to the Chaos Sea. After falling inside the Chaos Sea, "He" was put into an unconscious or sealed state.[15]
Second Epoch[]
In this era, the world was ruled by eight Ancient Gods, "They" ruled sky, land, and oceans. "They" ruled over the Spirit World and Astral World, and various races.[16] Humans were subordinates or even slaves of Giants, Elves, and Sanguines.[17]
The Early Era of Fire[]
By the time Ancient Sun God woke up from the Chaos Sea, it was already the Early Era of Fire of the Second Epoch.[15]
When "He" woke up, "He" said "Let there be light" and so the light appeared.[18] "He" gained many things in Chernobyl, including the First Blasphemy Slate, the control over the Chaos Sea, and the Uniqueness of the Error Pathway.[9]
The Ancient Sun God became a deity based on the Sun Pathway, collecting the Uniqueness and the minimum required Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the corresponding pathways.[19]
According to Sasrir, soon after "He" walked out of the Chaos Sea, "He" sensed that the Primordial God Almighty was awakening inside "His" body, so "He" created another self in hoping to control of the Chaos Sea and isolate it from continuously corrupting "His" body. "He" separated part of "His" personality and merged with the "Degeneration" authority and the Hanged Man Beyonder characteristics to create Sasrir. However, the Primordial God Almighty continued to wake up despite all the efforts.[20]
After the Sanguine civilization was destroyed, the Moon City followed the Ancient Sun God. "He" ordered the residents of the Moon City to guard the barrier fog that sealed the Western Continent.
Rise of Ancient Sun God[]
In "His" religious text and in the records of the City of Silver, "He" fought against most of the Ancient Gods of the Second Epoch and took "Their" power, and claimed to be the Omnipotent and omniscient God, the Lord that created everything, who was reclaiming "His" authority.
“ | No, ‘He’ isn’t the Sun God. ‘He’ is our Lord, the father of all things, the great source of everything. ‘He’ wasn’t battling the Elf King, but taking back the authority which belonged to him. |

The Ancient Gods that survived "His" assault was the Devil Monarch Farbauti by fleeing to the Abyss and the Phoenix Ancestor Gregrace by fleeing to the Southern Continent.[21] "He" was not responsible for the deaths of the Sanguine Ancestor Lilith, the Annihilation Demonic Wolf Flegrea, and the Mutated King Kvastir as recorded in the City of Silver.
According to Arrodes, the Ancient Sun God is the "Second Creator".[22] It is later revealed that "He" almost became the second God Almighty.
The Ancient Sun God then made another attempt to fight against the awakening of the Primordial God Almighty in "Him". "He" gave birth to 2 sons to decrease "His" Beyonder characteristics.[23] This led to Amon, who was born with the Uniqueness and one Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristic of the Error Pathway; as well as Adam, who inherited "His" Uniqueness and two Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the Visionary Pathway. As The Omnipotent and Omniscient, it's likely that "He" ‘Create’ a Uniqueness that borders between reality and illusory to maintain "His" state as a Seq 0: Visionary.[24]
Third Epoch[]
Glorious Era[]
After the death of all Ancient Gods, the Ancient Sun God became the absolute ruler of the world and the one and only Orthodox God. There were 8 Kings of Angels under "Him": Dark Angel Sasrir, Angel of Imagination Adam, Angel of Time Amon, Wisdom Angel Herabergen, Wind Angel Leodero, White Angel Aucuses, Angel of Fate Ouroboros, War Angel Medici.
In this era, humans walked out of the shadow of other races and became the dominant race of the land.
Cataclysm Era[]
The Original Plan[25][]
With the Primordial God Almighty close to awakening, the Ancient Sun God's plan at the end of the Third Epoch was: during the fight between "Him" and "His" corrupted side consciousness, "He" would be assassinated. Following this, "He" would immediately revive in the Giant King's Court where Sasrir's body was. "He" would first take back the Uniqueness and three Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics of the Hanged Man Pathway and become Sequence 0: Hanged Man.
Using the First Blasphemy Slate placed beside the body, "He" would gain preliminary control over the Chaos Sea and use this foundation to allow Angel of Imagination Adam to awaken and return to "His" main body to form a support.
With such a system, the Ancient Sun God would use the Hanged Man's Grazing ability and a Visionary's Virtual Persona to control the Uniquenesses and Sequence 1 characteristics of the Sun, White Tower, and Tyrant Pathways. This would allow "Him" to become infinitely close to a Great Old One while maintaining a minimum level of stability.
“He” didn’t directly accommodate the Chaos Sea and the other three pathways’ Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Beyonder characteristics, because “He” didn’t want to advance to become a Great Old One, a pillar, in that era. That would inevitably lead to the resurrection of the Primordial God Almighty, causing “Him” to lose “Himself.” "He" would control the situation and materials and then finish the last few steps to advance to God Almighty, one of The Three Pillars, when the apocalypse approached.
The Feast of Betrayal[26][]
“ | The Kings betrayed that existence. Blood, anger, foulness, and shadows began to flow across this land, triggering a huge calamity. |
„ |
— Gehrman Sparrow to Nim on Lord of Mysteries, Chapter 1213 |
To achieve the plan, the Kings of Angels (except Adam and Amon) led by Sasrir and the Subsidiary Gods led by the Evernight Goddess, formed Rose Redemption and plotted against the Ancient Sun God. Sasrir fell asleep inside the Giant King's Court and "His" consciousness returned to the Ancient Sun God's body. In the meantime, "He" was besieged by Rose Redemption and died at the place now known as the Sea of Ruins. "His" death was also the end of the Third Epoch.
However, the Wind Angel, White Angel, and Wisdom Angel betrayed the plan and feasted on "His" remains to become the Lord of Storms, the Eternal Blazing Sun, and the God of Knowledge and Wisdom respectively. The Fourth Epoch began with "His" death.
After that, "His" consciousness returned to Adam, and "He" has been disguised as Adam ever since. Also, because of the betrayal, "He" could only urgently fuse the extreme emotions of "His" fall and be reborn on "His" corpse. "He" could only take back the Hanged Man Pathway Beyonder characteristics and the authority of Degeneration, together with "His" negative personality (Sasrir's consciousness) to form the God now known as the True Creator. Meanwhile, what was known as Sasrir was left in the Giant King's Court and turned into an Evil Spirit due to the lingering obsession "He" had, as well as Chaos Sea’s powers which were brought about by the First Blasphemy Slate.[26][24]
The Aftermaths[]
The fall of the Ancient Sun God created the Sea of Ruins and separated the Eastern Continent, now known as the Forsaken Land of the Gods, from the the world. Since then it entered into a state of permanent darkness, punctuated only by the brief lightning flashes that happen every few seconds. The Second Blasphemy Slate was created from "His" remains after "His" death.
Fifth Epoch[]
The books and legends of the Ancient Sun God have been missing for two to three thousand years, and the Churches of the Seven Gods' bibles are copied from "Him."[27]
Resurrection[]
Since both the True Creator and Adam are a part of the Ancient Sun God, "They" will need to fuse to become complete. "They" have been fighting over who should be the dominant persona ever since "They" both awakened.[28]
During Klein's Apotheosis Ritual, Adam had partially fused with the True Creator with Adam as the dominant persona.[29]
As of Book 2, "He" is completely revived after Adam and the True Creator have fully fused, with Adam becoming the current True Creator. "He" is currently alive as Adam.[30]
Trivia[]
- Readers asked the author what era "He" lived in before (Because the Chernobyl explosion happened in 1986, so they guessed "He" lived in this era), but the author did not answer this question [12] and in another question he said "His" background could not be revealed for the time being.[13]
- Readers also asked about "His" real name and the author said it was related to the future script.[13] Regarding "His" real name, the reader asked the author if it was because the Ukrainian name was difficult to write and because it wasn't important so he didn't write it, or because "He" was polluted by the Chaos Sea and forgot "His" real name, the author said it was the first one.[31] "His" real name was later revealed to be Grisha.
- Chinese readers call "Him" "远太" from "远古(Ancient)太阳(Sun)神(God)" or "白造" from "白银(Silver)城(City)造物主(Creator)".
- Ancient Sun God was the first Survivor to gain direct access to "His" Sequence 0's associated Sefirah, the Chaos Sea.[32]
