Free Web NovelChapter 1452: Chapter 908: Eternal Lord (Part 2)
"Lord Eve (Lord God)..."
Upon seeing Eve appear, the gods all paid their respects.
The expression of the Eternal Lord Yiteo showed a hint of surprise. He examined closely the True God Avatar of Eve and the World Tree body behind her, then lightly chuckled, speaking in the ancient language of the old gods:
"Lord Eve, the intensity of your Divine Power... is much stronger than I imagined."
"Thanks should also go to Lord Yiteo for sending Divine Power my way. If not for the war you initiated, I might not have accumulated so much Divine Power now."
Eve glanced at Yiteo and replied in the same language, dispassionately.
The Eternal Lord laughed heartily, seemingly not catching the sarcasm within the words.
Then, He looked at Eve with deep meaning, slightly squinting His eyes:
"Haha, I too must thank you, Lord Eve."
"If it weren’t for your help in weakening my church in the Segis World and consuming my polluted Divine Power, perhaps the Segis World wouldn’t have been unsealed so quickly, and I couldn’t have freed myself from the corrosion of faith..."
So it’s indeed like this...
Upon hearing Yiteo’s somewhat arrogant response, Eve sighed internally.
The moment the Eternal Lord Yiteo descended, Eve had already sensed that the Divine Power on the other seemed purer.
When the Eternal Church abandoned the salvation of human faith and Yiteo’s progress in achieving greatness accelerated, He had a vague premonition.
Later, when the Judgement Knight and the Divine Battle Army launched meaningless charges, it further deepened Eve’s suspicions.
And now the Eternal Lord laid it bare on the spot, finally confirming for Eve that the Eternal Lord was indeed using Him to achieve His further goals...
Exactly.
As the Master of Era, deeply corroded by faith, unable to take the final step, the Eternal Lord Yiteo’s actions during this period have been entirely about using Eve’s power to rid Himself of the corrosion!
And now, He has probably succeeded.
With these thoughts, Eve’s expression gradually turned solemn.
His gaze paused on the symbolic patterns representing "humanity" on the Eternal Lord’s Divine Robe, which were clearer and more real compared to their last meeting, causing His eyes to narrow slightly.
And then, His expression became enlightened.
"Lord Yiteo, it might not just be this, if I’m not mistaken, the human godhood you’ve longed for seems near realization."
Retracting His gaze from the Eternal Lord’s Divine Robe, Eve spoke with deep meaning.
These words caused the gods beside Eve to change their expressions subtly, their gazes gradually turning solemn.
Though they didn’t know the deeper secrets of the Segis Universe, they knew a thing or two, or rather, the related legends.
One universally acknowledged part among the gods is that the Eternal Lord Yiteo has always been seeking to gather human godhood.
And rumors say, as long as He succeeds in gathering the human clan godhood, He can truly have the qualification to strike towards greatness.
Many True Gods only know this rumor, but are ignorant of the principles behind it.
However, Eve knows.
Humans are foreign species to the Segis World.
If human clan godhood could be successfully gathered, it would, in a certain sense, achieve transcendence targeting the Segis Universe.
At this point, if Yiteo uses the power of the Origin Key He obtained, using human clan godhood as an anchor, He might achieve assimilation with the Segis Universe under the premise of maintaining His own consciousness.
Or rather... assimilate with the real creator behind the Segis Universe, taking its place.
And that, would truly embark on the path of greatness.
Moreover, it would be an even greater Divine Power, genuinely surpassing that of the King of Gods, Niou!
Thinking of this, Eve’s expression also gradually turned serious.
His gaze fell on the Eternal Lord, pondering momentarily, He spoke:
"Lord Yiteo, I am curious, your human godhood has always failed to gather successfully, yet now you are suddenly close to perfection... It’s truly surprising. To this... could you enlighten me?"
"I again must thank you, Lord Eve."
Yiteo smiled slightly.
Holy radiance flickered behind Him, Divine Power surged around Him, transforming into images.
In the images, people raised banners, angrily attacking the castles of the nobility; in the images, people overthrew the lord’s statue, cheering joyously...
These were unexpectedly scenes of revolution and uprising in the Human World!
Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the flags flown by the humans in the images were not the red scepter flags symbolizing the Life Church, but platinum flags with symbols of the sun and human imagery...
Additionally, if one carefully observed the scenes, they would find that the architectural style in the images differed somewhat from that of the human architecture in the Segis World, as did the clothing.
These images... were not of the Segis World! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Eve’s gaze sharpened, followed by an inner realization and some insight.
Seeing Eve’s expression, the Eternal Lord chuckled lightly and said:
"It seems you have noticed as well..."
"That’s right, these are not the scenes of the Segis World, but the scenes of other Main Material Planes under my control..."
"For a millennium, I have pondered a question: Why, even after becoming the Master of Era and embracing the faith of the entire Segis Crystal Plane, have I failed to gather human godhood?"
"Eventually, I understood. It’s because humans differ from other intelligent species, and I differ from the True God who creates certain species."
"The godhood of intelligent species encompasses the species itself and also their civilization, followed by their history... particularly for humans who value heritage and culture."
"The history of an intelligent species that values heritage and progress flows continuously and moves forward relentlessly."
"As this species grows stronger, the proportion of civilization and heritage in the species’ godhood becomes ever more significant. To gather species godhood, one must reflect the divine’s guidance and evolution of the species."
"In other words... reform!"
"Yet, faith grants intelligent species power but also shackles their minds."
"The stronger the faith, the stronger the shackles, akin to a colossal ship navigating the ocean—the larger it is, the harder it is to change direction."
"However, apart from the species’ creator who can ignore the civilization’s species godhood, relying solely on faith to gather the species godhood requires breaking through the shackles of civilization and history, overcoming such mind restrictions..."
"And this is the millennium-old challenge that has confined me."
"My excessively powerful faith provides me mighty power of faith, yet it also impedes the further progress of civilization, preventing my breakthrough and fusion of human godhood."
"In the past, I couldn’t comprehend this problem, troubling me for nearly a millennia..."
"But now things are different."
"Only by breaking the old and decayed can one usher in rebirth."
"If faith becomes a burden, it should be destroyed and rebuilt from the ruins."
"Gathering the species godhood of such a grand human civilization must be like this."
"Thus, inspired by you, I have initiated uprisings and revolutions in various faith planes of the Segis Universe, emulating your church."
"Of course... the leader of the uprisings is not your Life Church, but the reformation church of the Eternal Church—the Eternal New Church."
"Lord Eve, this was the path opened for me by your insight..."
"Thanks to your inspiration and cooperation, I am now a step away from true greatness."
The Eternal Lord Yiteo’s demeanor remained calm.
As He spoke, a grand aura unfurled behind Him, altering the complexion of the entire world.
"Lord Eve..."
Yiteo gazed at Eve, His expression gradually turning proud:
"I can now offer you two choices."
