The Origin of God Tomb

Led by Little Yue'er and the others, the group arrived at the heart of Taixu Mountain, where the nostalgic Fuyun Temple was located, nestled against a cliff with a lake in front of it, a truly idyllic place.

Even Kaisha, who was used to seeing beautiful scenery, couldn't help but be amazed by this place. It was indeed a great place to live in seclusion, and it felt very comfortable.

Following Little Yue'er's footsteps, we passed through the courtyard and arrived at Fuyun Temple. First, Ji Lin settled Fu Hua in, while the others sat on the ground enjoying the beautiful scenery in the courtyard.

Queen Kaisha was still followed closely by solemn warriors. Lena and Qiangwei were on one side, while Mikoto Misaka and Misaka Zero sat opposite Kaisha, which immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the other angel warriors.

Being able to sit opposite Kaisha meant that their strength and status were equal to hers, something the other angel warriors absolutely did not believe, so they all glared at them with bitter and resentful expressions.

Apart from Mikoto Misaka scratching the back of her head sheepishly, Misaka Zero remained sitting upright, completely unaffected by them.

The remaining location was naturally left for Ji Lin.

It took longer than expected to settle Fu Hua. Five minutes after Mikoto and the others sat down on the ground, Ji Lin's figure was seen coming out of Fuyun Temple.

She was still wearing that warm yellow dress, with a heavy-looking headdress on her head, and her bright red eyes showed a sense of relief.

That's true. Anyone would feel relieved to know that the heavy burden on their shoulders can be lifted. Add to that the feeling of reuniting with old friends, or even living together with them, and everyone would feel the same way.

For those who have suffered greatly from the Honkai, such a comfortable life is something they never dared to dream of.

Every day, she had to be on guard against the onslaught of the Honkai, and even be prepared for those around her to turn into enemies. The battle never stopped, and she was already exhausted, but so what? She wanted to survive, she wanted her friends to be safe and sound, and she wanted her tribe to be free from harm. This was the choice that Ji Lin had to make.

A one-way selection

So she made that choice, and it was this choice that plunged her into the Black Abyss, until now, when she has finally awakened again.

Ji Lin knew that her dark side had not disappeared, but was merely dormant within her body. Perhaps, at some opportune moment, Black Ji Lin would awaken once more.

Upon approaching, they sat down in an empty seat, followed by Little Yue'er and the others. They could be said to completely represent the existence of the Taixu Realm, and Ji Lin, being friends with Fu Hua, naturally stood behind her.

Even recently, this person was Fu Hua's enemy.

As for why they didn't stand behind Mikoto Misaka and the other woman, they said they weren't familiar with them at all, and they had only exchanged a few words with Ji Lin, so they couldn't possibly know anything about them.

Even now, they still harbored enough suspicion towards Ji Lin and remained on guard, standing behind her. This was partly to prevent her from suddenly erupting and for the four of them to subdue her instantly.

As for what will happen if we can't control it? Well, we'll see when we can't control it.

"How is Crimson Kite doing?" Mikoto Misaka broke the silence.

Ji Lin looked at Mikoto, his expression calm. "She's fine, seems to have just fallen asleep. I don't know what she went through in that space, she's just a little exhausted."

"To survive a black hole unscathed is already quite an achievement; you should be happy," Misaka Zero said flippantly.

"She is?"

Looking at the two who looked exactly alike, Ji Lin asked in a puzzled tone, "Judging from their tone of voice, they don't seem like twins."

"Ah! Don't worry about her, just ignore her. That's just her personality; she didn't mean anything bad."

Ji Lin nodded, glanced at Misaka Zero whose face had turned sour because of Mikoto Misaka's words, and then turned his gaze back to Mikoto Misaka.

"By the way, why are you here?"

"Well, it's a long story. Actually, I came here for Crimson Kite."

"Hmm? For the sake of Crimson Kite?"

Mikoto Misaka nodded, her expression instantly turning solemn.

"You've all heard of the God Tomb, right?"

Mikoto's voice echoed in everyone's ears, and her serious expression also affected the others.

"It seems they left before you arrived, saying something like, 'Once the Illusion God comes, they won't be able to leave,'" Lena said softly.

"Tsk! She's really fast. I knew that Mei the Fairy would run away first," Misaka Zero said, scoffing.

The tone was somewhat childish and defiant.

Mikoto Misaka shook her head helplessly, speechless at Zero's continued grudge against that woman who had once wronged her.

Zero is bad in every way, except for his particularly vengeful personality, which is so good that it's a headache.

"So, one of you is the Illusion God's she mentioned?" Kaisha raised an eyebrow.

I never expected that a being that could be called a god would be so young, at least on the surface.

Kaisha's eyes didn't hide much; it wasn't that she looked down on them, but rather that she was expressing her surprise quite frankly. However, in Misaka Zero's eyes, it was a different story.

She wanted to lash out, but Mikoto suppressed it, glaring fiercely at Kaisha.

"It's been a long time, Queen Kaisha. I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon," Mikoto Misaka said softly.

The implication was clear: they were old acquaintances.

Kaisha nodded. "Yes! It has indeed passed quickly, probably about ten thousand years. The relationship between you has become much more harmonious."

This alludes to the relationship between Mikoto Misaka and Misaka Zero. Although they seem to have a harmonious relationship now, it wasn't always like this. In fact, they were mortal enemies.

At least Misaka Zero wanted to kill Mikoto, and the Douluo I never stopped. It's just unknown what happened to them that led to their current state.

"You two know each other?" Ji Lin asked.

Ten thousand years? Does that mean Mikoto's figure has remained unchanged for ten thousand years? I remember that Fifty thousand years in her world, Mikoto Misaka looked like this... Hmm~ somewhere between a little girl and an otome.

"Don't look at me like that, this is beyond our control," Ji Lin's gaze made Mikoto feel extremely uncomfortable.

She had no way of expressing her suffering because of her current body shape. She longed to grow up, but... just thinking about it made Mikoto grit her teeth in hatred. It was all that old hag's fault for keeping her in this body shape.

They even said that young girls are the true love, and those who grow up are just ugly.

As a result, someone spread the word, and she was not seen for a long time afterward. When she reappeared, she looked extremely weak and listless.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Thinking about it too much will only bring tears.

"Heh... haha~" Ji Lin chuckled softly, then turned away, unable to bear looking at him.

"Oh right, you haven't told me about the God Tomb and the Illusion God yet," Lena interrupted.

Perhaps because Mikoto's mood was too somber, everyone stopped talking about the previous topic and instead asked about other things.

God Tomb and Illusion God

As explained earlier, the meaning of the God Tomb is that it is a grave where many people are buried, but it is also a dangerous place where opportunities and dangers coexist.

Judging from the current situation, the God Tomb and the Illusion God are clearly enemies. Therefore, the Illusion God, who can be the counterpart to the God Tomb, must have equal ability and power.

They had already seen the God Tomb, and as for this Illusion God, it seemed to foreshadow the two girls before them, but no matter how they looked at it, they simply could not be compared to the word "god".

"Ah! This! The God Tomb, I suppose you already heard something from them when you saw them!"

I don't know much about the Angel Clan and the Xiong Bing Lian, but Ji Lin should know something about them, after all, her remnant soul was extracted from the Xuanyuan Sword.

"I heard some of it, but it was very vague. It seemed to be an existence built because of a person," Ji Lin nodded, recounting what he had vaguely heard at the time.

"That's right, it exists because of one person," Mikoto affirmed.

Misaka Zero then picked up where Mikoto left off, saying, "But unfortunately, that person is already dead. However, those guys from the God Tomb are unwilling to give up and keep chasing after that person's footsteps."

"If that's the case, then why did they take the others with them?" Ji Lin asked.

Do you believe in reincarnation?

Mikoto didn't answer but asked a question in return, and her words elicited different reactions from the others.

The angels led by Kaisha, and Lena and Qiangwei, who are the main members of the Xiong Bing Lian, are all beings who do not believe in reincarnation.

Qiangwei is a typical atheist; after all, there aren't many people in the modern world who believe in God.

Lena, Kaisha, and others have life signs that are superior to those of humans. They call themselves gods. Gods, apart from dying in battle, do not experience the birth, aging, sickness, and death of humans, so naturally they do not have the concept of reincarnation.

For these angel warriors, death is death, whether it's a tragic and beautiful death or a heroic and exhausting one; they never have the thought of wanting to live again.

For them, there is naturally no such thing as reincarnation.

When asked by Mikoto Misaka, they all denied it, but for Ji Lin, reincarnation might not be nonexistent.

"A person's reincarnation may take a hundred years, a few years, or even less or longer, while a universe, without any external interference, has a cycle of 100,000 years."

Mikoto's voice, though youthful, held a mature quality. It echoed through the space, reaching everyone's ears. Whether they believed it or not, she showed no intention of stopping.

"The universe is destroyed, civilization is born, and civilization begins to develop. Ten thousand years is enough time for a civilization to rise and fall multiple times. Of course, some powerful civilizations can survive for a long time. Their strength varies, and the worlds they are born into are also different, some as ordinary as a technological world, and some as fantastical as a world of cultivation..."

Then, countless worlds bloomed with different splendors, vanishing in their brilliance and being born in their annihilation.

In the world of cultivation, there are immortals, gods, humans, demons, monsters, and even the underworld.

In the world of technology, there are space fleets, interstellar transmission methods, and even power comparable to that of the world of cultivation.

Every world is vibrant with its own unique colors, but there are always worlds that develop faster than all others. Thus, beings capable of traversing interstellar distances are born within them. Some are powerful beings who can cross interstellar distances without worry, while others possess advanced technology that allows them to travel freely throughout the universe.

Thus, worlds became connected, and civilizations began to interact, which accelerated the development of the universe.

The energy in the universe is finite. When the energy increases infinitely, destruction will occur.

This was originally supposed to happen when the 100,000-year period arrived, but the battles between civilizations exacerbated this change.

When a civilization reaches its peak and can no longer advance, it is time for destruction, the Twilight of the Gods, the tomb of the gods.

However, one day, someone wanted to defy this rule. So, she spent her whole life trying to reverse this outcome, and built a sanctuary for the gods so that they could enter it and escape the cataclysm.

Just as she was about to complete it, the cataclysmic disaster struck.

The sanctuary she had built was instantly destroyed, along with the gods who had been with her, who were utterly annihilated without any chance of resistance.

As a result, war broke out, making the already broken world even more precarious.

The gods attacked together, and blood flowed like a river.

She single-handedly overpowered all the gods and ascended to the pinnacle of the world, but this was also the beginning of her destruction.

The true cataclysm has arrived; darkness has swept across the land, countless lives have been lost, and mountains of bones have been amassed.

At the summit of the mountain, only one person stands—the creator of the God Tomb.

--emperor

Yes, she survived the cataclysmic disaster, but from then on, she was the only one left in the world.

Through the long years and eternal desolation, how did she survive? Only five people know. The only thing they know is that she created a world and then destroyed one.

Through endless cycles of creation and destruction, she gradually became someone even the world could not predict, existing independently outside of the world.

Thus, during this new life, she conceived an idea: if reincarnation were established in the world, could living beings achieve true eternity?

Through countless experiments and failures, she finally succeeded, but the price of her success was the annihilation of another universe.

With the birth of reincarnation, the universe entered a wondrous state.

With a limit of 100,000 years, the universe will be reborn and regenerated, no longer requiring the Emperor's personal intervention, but will be able to generate itself autonomously.

P. S.: Why do I feel like I'm writing about perfection? Is it just my imagination?

PS: Mikoto Misaka is a supporting female character in A Certain Magical Index and the female protagonist in A Certain Scientific Railgun; Misaka Zero is a female protagonist in my first book, just like Mikoto. I only wrote half of my first book before I started writing this one, so the plot from that book hasn't developed to this point yet.

As I mentioned earlier, Fu Hua's reason for traveling to the Douluo Continent is related to Mikoto, and that part of the plot has not yet been written in the first book.

Then, this chapter roughly explains the existence of the God Tomb, which has nothing to do with the God Tomb. As for the Illusion God, we'll find out in the next chapter.

Anyway, you can probably guess the general situation. Just like some fantasy novels, there always has to be a big BOSS!
