For George, this body was merely an avatars.
Even if there is a loss, it's not something that can't be accepted.
As long as it's worth it to learn the way to create perfect small worlds from Illuvatar.
Because the method is learned and the small world is improved, then the original body and other avatars can also progress together.
Even if there is any conspiracy from Illuvatar, he would not consider it as fortunate if he consumes his body and world after the fact.
So even if his identity is exposed by Illuvatar, he is not particularly anxious inside, although he must not show such calmness on the surface.
"I didn't expect you to uncover me. I actually don't know why I came to this world, my soul attached to this body."
He indeed doesn't know why he came to this world, and creating avatars is not something he can control.
He did not lie about that.
He wouldn't tell Illuvatar either; he wouldn't reveal that this body is just an avatar, and he wouldn't inform him of his having different avatars in various worlds.
His words are also a test, testing whether Illuvatar knows about other worlds beyond the one he created.
His previous confusion was about what was beyond the worlds he had created through his avatars.
The creator of these worlds, does He also know about the existence of other worlds?
If He knows, does He have a way to enter another world from one world?
If there is, can He retract His avatars in the end?
Since he has never faced the creator of a world directly before, now that he has the opportunity, he naturally wants to test it thoroughly.
"It's normal that you don't know. There are many powerful creators who, with nothing to do, like to scatter the souls of creatures and souls of their worlds randomly."
Illuvatar indicated for George to sit opposite him.
And George, upon hearing this, felt a stir in his heart:
"Is there a stronger creator than You?"
"I, I'm not considered very powerful, so there's no need to be so cautious. I know you have many questions, and I can answer all of them for you."
Illuvatar casually waved his hand, and a bottle of fine wine appeared on the table.
"Consider it a compensation for sparing Morgoth."
Humans and elves are creatures He created, but the Valar and Maiar are some kind of thoughts that have branched out from the spirit, which are also quite a part of Him.
Manwe and Varda's positive thoughts, and Morgoth's negative thoughts.
So although Morgoth did many sins, he could not let George absorb Morgoth's soul.
Because for him, it would also be damaging.
Avatars like Sauron and Gormenghast would be different. Even if there are fewer of them, it would not significantly affect their strength or the world.
Morgoth is a Valar, so it's different.
But he also cannot use his power to forcibly stop George; he doesn't want to accumulate any enmity with George.
Although George's current strength is not as strong as his, his growth rate is very fast. In just a few years, he has already acquired the strength of a creator at the lowest level.
There must be a very formidable creator behind him.
It takes a very powerful creator to send someone to his world in secret without him noticing, and the strength of this creator must be much higher than his.
Such existence should not be offended if possible.
If George were a great evil person who would threaten him and his entire created world in the future, then even if it meant taking a risk, he would not spare George.
However, after observing him for these years, he found that George is not a bad person, and it would be better to form an alliance with him while his strength is still insufficient.
That's also why he is willing to guide George in perfecting the small world.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to appear in person; he could simply inform the gods of Valinor and let them handle it.
"Thank you!"
George solemnly bowed to Illuvatar:
"I would like to know, what should I do if I want to return to my own world?"
It is a very normal thought for a soul that has traversed to another world to want to return to its own, and asking about it is also very reasonable.
"Let me first tell you about my situation. That way, you can understand it more easily and naturally know the answer."
Illuvatar indeed had no suspicion. He pondered for a moment and then said:
"When I awoke, I was in a state of confusion, with nothing around me."
"Later, I began to instinctively absorb energy and gradually grow."
Under Illuvatar's explanation, George finally gained a general understanding of the entire cosmos.
Simply put, according to Illuvatar's understanding, he was born in the chaos, which can be considered a native life form in the chaos.
Growing to a certain stage, in order to explore and discover life forms similar to himself, he began to travel through the chaos.
During his journey, he encountered other native life forms similar to him. Some were weaker than him, some were stronger, some were friendly, and some wanted to consume him to become stronger themselves.
Growing to a certain stage, he began to learn from the powerful beings and started creating his own world, which is now the Middle-earth world where George is.
After the creation of the world, he gradually strengthened it, and in order to better strengthen his world, he differentiated the Valar and Maiar.
After that, he created the Elves and Men.
These are actually the same stories as the Middle-earth continent that George knew in his previous life.
The only thing he didn't expect was that all this was actually following the predetermined fate set by Illuvatar.
Like the Marvel universe, everything in the entire sacred timeline of the universe is fixed and unchanging.
For example, the birth of Captain America, the assembly of the Avengers, Thanos' finger snap and Tony Stark's sacrifice.
In Middle-earth, this is also the case. After Arda was established, from the Great Light Era to the Age of Trees, to the Sun Era, as well as the First Age, Second Age, Third Age and Fourth Age of the Sun Era that followed.
Everything, everything is all woven by Illuvatar.
In addition to this, Illuvatar is also creating second and third parallel worlds, which are different from the single-universe and heading towards the multi-verse.
However, George's appearance has caused a change in one of the lines, deviating from the pre-determined trajectory.
Of course, this is not a big deal. As long as George does not continue to interfere, everything will return to normal many years later.
Elves will still leave the stage in the Fourth Age, and the world will eventually develop its main story centered around Men.
"So in the chaos, are there other life forms like you?"
George pondered for a long time before asking.
Illuvatar shook his head:
"But that's not entirely correct. At the beginning, it should indeed have been all native life forms."
But as worlds were created and especially as they developed and grew stronger, powerful life forms could also emerge within them.
They created their own worlds, then broke free from the constraints of their original worlds and entered the chaos to create their own domains.
"Just like you, if you perfect your small world, I won't stop you. You can leave my world and freely develop in the chaos."
