In fact, not long ago, Hao Ren had been wondering about this.
What was the real purpose of the deicide?
In the beginning, the active sinners in this incident were only the treacherous children, so the purpose of the deicide could be explained as a mortal race trying to become a god, so they dared to assassinate their goddess. But when a bigger mastermind emerged behind the treacherous children, this reason became a little untenable: the bigger mastermind obviously had more power and a longer history. Even if it was not a god, it should be more or less the same. This powerful existence obviously had a deep understanding of the gods, so it was unlikely that it would kill a god to seize divine power — it should know that it was meaningless to do so. So what was the reason that it encouraged the treacherous children to kill the goddess of creation?
Obviously, it was a more complicated and far-reaching reason than "becoming a god," and its purpose was not as simple as killing a god.
"As you know, the war ten thousand years ago … the treacherous children were just a group of chess pieces. Although their own depravity and sin were also important reasons, the mastermind behind the incident was the culprit." Whitey hovered over the platform in the center of the cabin and slowly told Hao Ren what she knew. "As for the real origin of the mastermind, none of us know, even the goddess of creation could not fully investigate it. We only know that he is the oldest intelligence in our universe, the earliest power in the world, and his existence is even older than the goddess of creation, so he is also very powerful. But this ancient one is not a true god, so in the end, he was no match for the goddess of creation. For a long time, he just hid in the darkest hinterland of the universe, pretending to have been completely sealed by the mother of all beings — but in fact, this cunning ancient one planned a counterattack.
"First, he found the deicides. This race had their first glory. They were the first mortal creatures created by the mother. Because of their high compatibility with the lifeblood, they were smarter, longer-lived, and stronger than other races. But this race had a fatal flaw, and that was greed and blindness. They were never satisfied and always regarded themselves as' the creatures closest to the gods'. The stronger their civilization became, the more oppressed and discriminated against their brothers and sisters who started out a little later than them. After this race obtained the supreme power of the mortal world, they began to have a greedy heart for the power of the gods, and their arrogance made them not know what was fear.
"Therefore, the dark and evil Eternals were able to corrupt these 'Ancestral Mortals' without much effort. Through some way, he bypassed the warning system set by the mother, bypassed the surveillance of the guardians, and directly bestowed power to the deicides, and even gave them weapons and rune technology that could fight against divine power.
"He chose to use these mortals to fight against the true god, not only because he did not dare to do it himself, but also because this was the only way he could truly and completely defeat the goddess of creation."
At this point, Whitey deliberately paused so that Hao Ren and the others could digest the information, and then he went on to the main point.
"Just defeating the goddess is not enough, because the world that the goddess created still exists, the influence of the goddess on the universe still exists, and the traces left by the goddess in the rules of the world are still there. These remaining factors are unknown to the mortals, but to the ancient one who has stepped into the realm of truth, it is a huge constraint. He must fundamentally eliminate the influence of the goddess to regain control of the entire universe, and to do this, it is not enough to just destroy the body, soul, and memory of the goddess. He must do one thing: let the goddess deny herself, delete herself. "
"Deny herself?" Hao Ren just felt that he understood a little, and then he was confused again. "What do you mean?"
"It's to let the miracles cancel each other out, and let the divine powers clash with each other," Whitey explained. "It's difficult for external forces to erase the mark of God, but if God herself has doubts about her own actions, the things she left behind will immediately become fragile. The greatest achievement of the Goddess of Creation was the creation of all life in the world. She was most proud of the countless creatures she created. The most vicious thing about the Ancient One was that he let the Goddess of Creation's creatures attack their mother. "
"He wanted the goddess of creation to doubt herself?" Hao Ren suddenly understood.
"Yes, self-doubt. Ordinary self-doubt is not terrible, but if it is self-doubt before the death of the goddess, it is fatal. Once the goddess of creation begins to doubt her life's efforts, or more seriously, hate the life she created, even if it is only a little hatred, it will weaken her divine power, leaving an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of. This was the purpose of the evil ancient one from the beginning: let the creation of the goddess attack the goddess, so that she will have self-contradiction. Once the goddess no longer believes in herself, her miracles will disappear like a chain reaction. "
Hao Ren suddenly felt a little short of breath. He looked up and saw the life created by the goddess of creation everywhere. Even the treacherous children of the goddess had a place here. Four words flashed through his mind: Ultimate Absolution.
Y 'zaks took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The ancient one's plan was good, except for one thing: the goddess did not waver and doubt herself from beginning to end. She used the last bit of strength in her life to forgive all the murderers."
"Yes, she never regretted creating these children. Most mortals were stupid. Their minds were unstable, and their bodies were weak. Occasionally, they would be kind, but with a little temptation, they would become very evil. If they were given a sharp sword, they would even dare to stab their own mother. But they were, after all, created by their mother. Regardless of their strengths or weaknesses, they were all her treasures. Before the deicidal incident broke out, Mother had foreseen everything that was going to happen. But at that time, she was powerless to save the situation, and there was no way to pull the deicidal out of their depravity. So she could only try to minimize the damage of the disaster. Ultimate Absolution is just one of her many efforts, but so far it seems that it is the only one that has worked. "
Hao Ren asked curiously, "Sending life to this universe is to preserve the 'tinder' needed for Ultimate Absolution?"
"Yes. The goddess is dead, so the mortals under the protection of the goddess have lost their protection. Even if the evil ancient one can't move freely, he has enough time to destroy the mortal worlds one by one. At that time, all traces of the goddess will disappear. To prevent this from happening, Mother opened the door of the Wall of Reality and sent some of her creations to this world.
"The evil can't reach this world, and as long as Ultimate Absolution is still in effect, the throne of the true god will not change, and the evil soul in the depths of the universe will never be able to seize the power of the world. He will be suppressed for a long time."
Hao Ren and Vivian looked at each other thoughtfully. "But it seems that there is still a problem with Ultimate Absolution."
"The number of races that have crossed into the Surface World has been decreasing, and more than half of these tinder have been extinguished." Nangong Sanba took a deep breath. "… It's the innate hostility and killing instinct!"
"But the innate hostility phenomenon appeared because the blood of the goddess after the deicidal produced the 'original sin.'" Hao Ren felt that things were getting more and more complicated. "This' original sin 'should be …"
"Although there is no clear evidence, I suspect that it is the work of the evil demon," Whitey interrupted Hao Ren. "Mother has pardoned all sinners at the last moment, and there is no resentment in her remaining power. But why would her blood leave the original sin? There is no doubt that the innate hostility phenomenon is sabotaging Mother's Ultimate Absolution ritual because its essence is completely contrary to Mother's wish. So the real source of this thing is very suspicious. "
Hao Ren's eyebrows arched. "You know all the truth, even the innate hostility on this planet."
"But Yggdrasil has been corrupted internally from the beginning, and it can't even communicate with the outside world."
"In theory, Ymir should also know the truth."
"But he lost his memory like other mortal races. As a demigod, he lost his memory."
"So it is very clear." Hao Ren spread out his hand. "The 'people' who know the truth are either muzzled or have their memory erased. The target of Ultimate Absolution is either crazy or killed in the civil war. Everything is to thwart the plan of the goddess of creation. The mastermind behind the scenes is beyond our imagination. He is meddling in everything and stirring up trouble. "
The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn until Y 'zaks broke the silence. "But in any case, Ultimate Absolution is not completely destroyed. Thanks to Hao Ren's efforts, the innate hostility phenomenon has been lifted, and at least some of the tinder is still alive."
Whitey's figure swayed a little. "Yes, Ultimate Absolution is still in progress, but the situation is not as optimistic as you said because the most important part of the mission was destroyed a long time ago."
