New lore? In my Fraud patch? More likely than you'd think

Note, this isn't any major lore theory, I just think this is a neat(maybe accidental detail) with some of the phrasing used in marketing.

Ok so, I was playing through 8-3 trying to find all the secrets, and I just noticed this about the lion eating the sun statue

People have probably already noticed this, but I believe it says "Creation of the Tree of Life"

Hakita mentioned 8-3' P-Rank time alone being longer than greed's, so already 17 minutes or more. This is backed up by Dave's post here, which I think could be subtly hinting at fake-out exits.

But that's not the theory. Taking a look at Demon Delivery, notice anything weird about the platform that rises from the ground?

That looks like the Prelude tiles. In fact, I believe it is meant to be a piece, or at least replica of, Prelude.

Considering all released material we can assume is 8-3 has shown it to be a mashup of the layer's infrastructure, why not have it incorporate every prior layer?

It could just be a matter of coincidence, but having every past layer be integrated as a piece of this massive level would also explain the absurd P-rank time. Well, at least partially. Even if every layer before had a minute long arena, that still would be less than half of the time. Which is insane.

Why did I hope for Silksong news? I haven't a clue
