Chapter 1888 Sea Monster and Waves!
"Did she fall back asleep?"
Li Luo looked astonished:
"Then the danger is over?"
“Yes.” Mite nodded, then added:
"Temporarily lifted."
"No one knows when that primordial creation will awaken again."
"Perhaps it's just a matter of words, or perhaps it will remain dormant forever."
"Like a sword hanging over our heads, ready to fall at any moment and take everyone's life?" Li Luo added.
"If I may point out, while your analogy is vivid, it is not entirely appropriate," Mitter replied gently.
"The relationship between the original creation and us is actually more like that between a sea monster and the waves."
"Sea monsters and waves?" The astonishment that had just faded from Li Luo's face reappeared:
"Why is it this way? It seems like there's not much connection between the two?"
Instead of giving a direct explanation, Mitt continued with a chuckle:
"The sea monster has an unimaginably huge body, lurking on the seabed, and its full appearance cannot be seen."
"And the real world we exist in, with its myriad realms and billions of living beings, is like the foam on the tip of a wave on the sea."
"When the giant sea monster sleeps peacefully, the sea is calm and the foam on the crest of the waves is at peace for a moment."
"But once the sea monster awakens and stirs up its enormous body..."
Upon hearing this, Li Luo immediately understood.
But the incredibly heavy atmosphere made her swallow back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Mitt continued speaking:
"...The sea is no longer calm, and the foam on the crests of the waves will no longer exist."
After these words were spoken, both Mitt and Li Luo remained silent for a long time.
After a long pause, the woman finally spoke, breaking the silence:
"So, the awakening that caused the great upheaval in the real world was actually just a very small action by the primordial creation?"
“That’s right.” Mitch nodded in agreement.
"Otherwise, no matter how hard the four pillars of the world try, they will not be able to protect the world we live in."
"I even privately feel that the original creation was never awake at all."
"He merely moved his arm slightly in his sleep, or perhaps just trembled his fingers."
Li Luo fell silent again.
Although she could roughly guess what Mitt was going to say next, she still pressed on with more questions:
"So... what solution did the gods come up with?"
"To replace it?"
“It always has been.” Mitt nodded with absolute certainty:
"You should already know about the hierarchy among the gods, but I'll just briefly mention it again here. I hope you won't find me long-winded."
"As far as we know, the hierarchy among the gods, from lowest to highest, is as follows: demigods, true gods, pillars of the world, and primordial creations."
"Among them, the demigods hold a single authority, while the true gods hold two kinds of authority."
“The world pillars may wield three or more powers, or a single primordial power.”
“The original creation must hold one original authority, or possibly multiple authorities.”
"You can think of the Chosen Ones as the planktonic organisms in the foam at the tip of a wave."
"They strengthen themselves through various means, which is actually trying to increase their physical size."
"When plankton grow to the size of small shrimp, they break through the limit and are able to develop in a larger direction."
"When they grow to the size of a sea turtle, they may have already entered the ranks of true gods, and with a gentle sway of their limbs, they can create a small wave on the sea."
"By the time they grow to the size of whales, they may have already crossed the threshold of becoming pillars of the world."
"The gods who have left the tip of the waves and bubbles have always been trying to increase their size, intending to one day surpass their superiors and take their place."
"And the giant sea monsters sleeping on the seabed are their ultimate target."
"Although no god has ever succeeded, they have indeed been working hard one after another."
"So that one day I can no longer be controlled by others and take control of my own life and death."
"Are there any successful cases?" Li Luo had already guessed the answer, but still asked knowingly.
“No.” Mitt shook his head decisively.
"However, there is one example of failure."
"Among the ancient cryptic texts we have unearthed, there is a clear record that Sothos, the pillar of the world, has repeatedly challenged the level of the primordial creation."
"He is the strongest of the four pillars of the world, wielding the primordial authority of 'infinity,' and is almost omniscient and omnipotent!"
"But unfortunately, He ultimately failed and became a drifter in the river of fate."
"The characteristics of omniscience and omnipotence completely disappeared in Him, turning into blindness and folly."
"However, it was precisely because of this that Sothos was the last of the four pillars of the world to go mad when the primordial creations awoke."
"Omniscience and omnipotence, turned into blind folly..." Li Luo blinked her scarlet eyes and muttered a complaint under her breath:
"Is it because he's become an idiot that his madness isn't so obvious...?"
"I'm not quite sure about that." Mite tugged at the corner of his mouth, steer the slightly off-topic conversation back on track:
"In short, the awakening of the primordial creation has made the gods, who already intended to replace it, even more anxious."
"Because they don't know when the next catastrophe will happen, they are all desperately trying to accelerate their own growth in order to take over as soon as possible."
"In the recovery process under the intervention of the four pillars of the world, they finally discovered a channel for rapid advancement."
"That is, the battle to become a god that I mentioned before."
"The gods suddenly discovered that they could increase their 'size' as quickly as possible by killing and devouring each other."
"But since no one has ever practiced this method, the gods chose to first verify it on the lower-ranking chosen ones."
"The result was obviously a success."
"However, a new problem soon arose before the gods—the number of targets available for consumption was limited."
"Unless you devour 90% of the demigods and true gods, you can barely cross the threshold of becoming a pillar of the world."
"Soon, some of the gods abandoned this desperate measure and sought other solutions."
"But a small number of gods saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and began to secretly plot against the rest of the gods."
“Eternal Night, right?” Li Luo suddenly spoke up, interrupting Mitt’s narration.
“That’s right, but not just Him.” Old Goebel nodded and added:
"And there's the Demon Ancestor Abhoth, and the God of Deception Hansel."
"Of course, there may be other gods involved, but so far we have not uncovered any information about them."
