Chapter 43: The Inheritance of Gods and Humans
“This is too interesting, truly too interesting!”
“These humans, they’ve actually started to worship their ancestors in ancient times, just like when I first appeared… Hmm, though this deviates from my plan, the extra emotional crystals they’ve produced can still be used to satisfy the demand.”
“They can achieve this even without becoming ‘***’. These humans really know how to surprise me, don’t they?”
“Then, what if I operate it like this?”
…
…
“For the sake of fun, I’ve contacted a few other Supremes that I know.”
“Although they, like me, are uncomfortable with certain practices of the Supreme civilization. However, they themselves are not as rebellious as I am.”
“Therefore, for them, they still want humans to be ‘***’ existences.”
“Haha, if this is their first time in such a place, then they should have succeeded, right?”
“But it’s a pity, these humans have already embarked on a completely different path of development under the influence of different civilizations.”
“Then, I’ll just have to wait and see how things unfold.”
…
…
In the subsequent passage, many words also appeared.
However, upon seeing this, Yisheng’s body trembled, causing Lonis to worry if her magic power was running low.
“Yisheng, are you alright?”
“Mm… I’m fine, junior Lonis. I suddenly understood what ‘***’ means.”
“‘***’…”
“Yes, ‘***’ should mean ‘ascetic’. That is, one who has severed all desires and transcended primal instincts.”
“What?!”
“So, if I’m not mistaken, your friends the Supremes should be some existences from the last epoch? Such as…”
“Mm, such as ‘Gods’?”
…
Hearing Yisheng say this, Elus also walked forward and sighed, saying:
“I should have thought of this earlier. Since Loli God Alice can be compared to a Supreme, then what about the gods in human history?”
“!”
“Whether it’s Eastern, Western, frigid, or tropical civilizations, they all have their own gods. And later, in feudal societies, religions like Christianity and Buddhism swept across the entire world like a tide—then, are the true gods that humans believed in fabricated?”
“This…”
“Of course not. Since ‘Demons’ have already appeared in this world, then the opposing ‘God Race’ or ‘Ancient Gods’ should also refer to those Supremes who have visited here before, right?”
“Elus, you mean…”
…
Lonis took a sharp breath and now fully understood Elus’s meaning.
Since ancient times, religion has indeed influenced human development, and most religions advocate asceticism, or even abstinence from procreation.
And this seems to be very similar to the influence of the Supremes, because as the opposite of the Yixiu civilization, which represents reproduction/desire, the Supreme civilization seems to pursue a kind of spiritual transcendence and material renunciation.
If that’s the case…
…
“So, does that mean that the Supreme who disguised himself as Chiyou has been observing human civilization all along, and has also been changing human civilization in some way?”
“You could say that.”
“Then, what is it doing now…”
Lonis looked around. Without a doubt, there was no such aura nearby. And considering the evolution of the constellations, this text has been abandoned for at least a hundred years.
Therefore, all the answers…
…
“Shall we keep moving forward? That seems to be the last room?”
…
The light projected by the heart linkage, while reassuring, also illuminated the final text.
However, compared to the slightly elegant handwriting of the previous ones, the current handwriting had become a bit messy… This did not mean that the writer had no time, but it seemed to indicate that his power had been heavily damaged, and he was unable to continue.
…
…
“No, I’m completely unable to continue… The Supreme civilization seems to consider the invasion of Yixiu as a result of my collusion.”
“Heh heh, collusion? Is collusion even necessary? What a bunch of fools. Even though they tread upon infinite worlds, their future is limited by their positions.”
“Since that’s the case, then I don’t need to hesitate any further. There’s no need to have further interaction with these foolish beings.”
“Then, humans from the future, I know you will eventually arrive here, perhaps even carrying more profound power.”
“Therefore, I will provide you with two choices ahead.”
…
“The first is the Heretical Amplifier, which I created by collecting Yixiu technology. As long as you inject a certain emotional crystal into it, that emotion will spread throughout space—but the amplifier cannot control its range, so everyone will be affected.”
“Once the Heretical Amplifier is activated, it can deal with most Supreme laws… However, this is a double-edged sword. If you misuse it, you will become a puppet of your own emotions, and ironically, become the ascetics that the Supreme civilization desires.”
“The second is the Book of Fate, which I used to record knowledge. Although it is incomplete, it records all the knowledge from the beginning of human civilization to the present.”
“This is a divine artifact made entirely with Supreme technology. But like the Heretical Amplifier, it is also a double-edged sword… I believe you can understand that if the world and history in which humans live is an absurd novel recorded in the fourth dimension, then the function of the Book of Fate is to allow you to snatch the brush from the fourth dimension and write your own ending.”
“However, in the end, I still have a piece of advice for you… although both of these items are powerful, if misused, they can also cause you to instantly turn to ashes. I am very eager to see what kind of reaction you will have and what kind of ending you will write for yourselves.”
“Then, farewell for now.”
The handwriting on the wall ended here.
But the girl was still immersed in the shock of this notebook, unable to pull herself back.
Normally, no matter how shocking the news was, Elus would always appear nonchalant, making everyone feel at ease.
But at this moment…
She also sighed and said with a complex expression, “Although our positions are different… since they can abandon their own inherent positions, this Supreme is also a great existence.”
“Elus?”
“Idiot Lonis, you’ve studied ancient history, so you should know that in the last epoch, there was also a god who did something like this, right? He brought the fire of the heavens to the human world. Although it brought burning and smoke, it also brought the light of civilization.”
“That, that is… Prometheus?!”
Although not very familiar with Greek mythology, Lonis had heard of the legend of Prometheus.
And now…
…
“And now, I can no longer feel the existence of this Supreme at all. Perhaps he had some conflict with the Supreme civilization and died completely in this world, or perhaps he grew tired of this world and chose self-exile.”
“!”
“But without a doubt, what he did was the same as Prometheus, preserving that crucial hope for humanity…”
Elus looked into the distance and murmured.
