The Oracle Envoys' Ambition

"For the first forty years, the gods of Takama-ga-hara contacted the Pure Land by special means every other month, having the Oracle Envoys report on the operation of the 'Human Circle' during that period."

"But starting one day sixty years ago, Takama-ga-hara never contacted the Oracle Envoys again. It was as if they had completely abandoned this place. For a full sixty years, there had not been the slightest word from them."

Jiang Er nodded thoughtfully. "So you suspect something happened to the gods of Takama-ga-hara?"

"Exactly. The scale of this 'Human Circle' is so vast that the gods of Takama-ga-hara could not possibly ignore it. They had gone without contact for sixty whole years—I think the only possibility is that something happened to Takama-ga-hara," An Qingyu continued.

"At first, the Oracle Envoys merely thought it was an accident. But after five years, they began to realize something was wrong. Yet, compelled by their overwhelming fear of the gods, they continued carrying out their duties and managing the entire 'Human Circle.'"

"Then another ten years passed, and Takama-ga-hara still had not contacted them. That was when their mindset began to change."

"This is only my own speculation. Things like this could never have been recorded in the files."

"But judging from the series of things they did in the Pure Land, they began testing whether Takama-ga-hara had truly vanished while conducting all kinds of experiments related to divine power."

"These seven Oracle Envoys had been capitalists before the Mist World descended. Even after gaining control over the entire 'Human Circle,' greed still ran in their blood. Having witnessed the gods' power firsthand, they began fantasizing about becoming gods themselves..."

"And thus came the so-called 'King's Blood' experiments and the 'God-Creation' project."

"They wanted to rebel?!" Jiang Er said in astonishment.
