The free development of the world suddenly came to a halt at a certain point.
This was because the world gave birth to intelligent life. At that time, humans and beasts – in Jon's understanding, perhaps such a race should be called the demon race.
Intelligent life learned to use tools to change nature, but then, in their development, they violated the laws of nature's development.
This was, of course, a normal thing.
Just like the saying that "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", these newly born creatures in the world all felt that they were the masters of the world. Naturally, they did things without scruples, but in the end, there was no good result.
A certain "creator" stirred up the ocean and set off a great flood that drowned the world, washing away most of the civilizations of various races. The last remaining life finally began to fear the gods.
Then, the gods appeared.
No one knew how these gods appeared, but one thing was certain, these gods all claimed to be "creators" – this term was too ambiguous, after all, for the life that existed in this world, as long as they were born in a time when there was no life and had the ability to create life, almost all of them could be called "creators".
However, Helga also had the ability to create life, but because of the limitations of her own realm, she could not create a real soul.
Things like souls, as mentioned before, could not appear in the world at will.
In addition to the normal way of the birth of life, the conditions for the appearance of souls were quite harsh.
Otherwise, Helga would not have used the souls of dead people to create a [Pseudo-Soul].
But weren't those "creators" the same?
The birth of souls and the birth of life were completely different systems. Being able to attract new souls with the help of life did not mean that one could create souls.
This was Helga's current predicament. Because of the special nature of the space of the Demon Fairy Castle, although the life in it could have a body, at the same time, it had a little bit of soul characteristics. Coupled with the environmental problems of the outside world, Helga currently had no way to attract new souls.
And those who were really powerful were called "creators".
However, it made sense.
Even if it was a real god, there was no one who dared to blatantly steal the deeds of creation.
Jon only knew of one. It was the God of Light who had founded the Church and ascended the throne as a human. He had exaggerated his own legend, and then he was gone. Later, the Church that he founded also suffered a crushing defeat.
Therefore, even a god wouldn't die if he didn't seek death.
…
Back to what he saw at this moment.
There were indeed countless possibilities in the things that intelligent beings did. Even the best prophet could not predict all the possible futures that could appear.
However, they could see the best future.
That was the best direction for the development of the entire world. Order, stability, peace, all of which fit the definition of perfection.
Under the temptation of such a bright future, the [Life] that survived the great death finally became the [Life] that knew how to correct their mistakes.
However, as the number of individuals increased, faith would gradually lose its binding force. When faith could no longer bind everyone, evil would eventually appear in this world.
In order to prevent something like the Great Flood from happening again, the strong who stood at the top of the race began to look for ways to fight against the wrong things that those evil people did.
In the end, of course, they found it.
[Fate].
The world was a complete closed loop. Even the gods had no way to escape from this closed loop to the outside world.
They did not deliberately do certain things because they were praised or feared. On the contrary, they were praised and worshipped by their believers because they did certain things.
However, the gods were not existences that could be unscrupulous. They also needed to play their role in the development of the world. Their strength had increased, and their horizons had widened, but the responsibilities that they had to bear had also increased.
Because their lives had been tied to the fate of the entire world.
(Of course, some gods who courted death were eliminated by the creators because they had thoughts that they should not have. They could not be included.)
At this point, the gods had lost their own fate.
Since they were already tied to the entire world, there was no need for any other purpose to exist.
As for the Legendary Wizard who had not become a god but already had great power, and even part of the power of the gods (such as walking in the [Deep Blue Sea]), if they still wanted to improve their realm, they had to act according to the feedback of the world.
However, this also meant that they would lose their freedom.
This was also the reason why some of the [Evil] appeared. Because the word freedom was precious, it was not difficult to understand that they would sacrifice others for the sake of freedom.
However, the direction of the world was the joint work of all the decision-makers. Any intelligent life with [Possibility] had the power to affect the direction of the entire world.
Even if this power was insignificant, it could not withstand the accumulation of many little things.
Once the direction of the world deviated from the established path, it would need to use power to guide it back to the right path.
This job had always been done by the surviving gods. However, as the world developed, the gods gradually lost their ability to change the world.
Therefore, when the gods did not easily reveal their traces, the Legends who had lost their guide found the power of [Fate].
This power was not strong, but it was not weak either.
It could drag the entire world back to the right path, but it could not even move a pebble.
Because this power needed to be accumulated.
As long as anyone did something that was beneficial to the development of the world in a good direction, the accumulated power was called the [Repair Quota].
On the contrary, those things that would lead the world to accidental destruction, the accumulated power was called [Destructive Trend].
If [Repair Quota] was the left, [Destructive Trend] was the right, and the upper limit of both was 1, then the balance shown on the dashboard was 0, and it was the best future for the world.
And the power of the two could cancel each other out.
When a [Destructive Trend] appeared, the accumulated [Repair Quota] would be used to repair and maintain the balance.
"But, that's not right."
Standing in the void, the spectator Jon muttered.
"I remember that this Earth is round!"
