"'Godhood'?"
Yu Jing had always wondered how one could become a god.
Even if what the Mask had said was true—that the difference between gods and humans was the absence of limits, allowing them to develop without restriction under the laws of the universe... But how to obtain the status of an evil god? After Li Jiany's guidance, he could finally say he had found the answer.
"An individual acknowledged by the 'Chaos Core' will, after undergoing an extremely difficult trial, be granted a 'godhood' corresponding to that individual, transforming into a 'Chaos Evil God.' Before Hastur obtained his godhood, he was nothing more than a bookstore owner."
"I see..."
That explained everything.
"The evil beings chosen and granted 'godhood' are all unique existences... At the same time, godhood has different levels. The most supreme and primordial godhood belongs to Azathoth, but the price is endless madness, which nearly destroyed the entire world. As a result, all the experts in the world, even the intelligent members of the Alien Beast Tribe, stood alongside humanity. After paying a terrible price, they imprisoned him on Mount of Demons Island in the north."
"Beneath Azathoth are the 'Three Pillars Gods'—three powerful godhoods capable of matching Azathoth. They are possessed by the Mother of Breeding—Shub-Niggurath, Space-Time—Yog-Sothoth, and the Demon Lord—Nyarlathotep, the only child born to Azathoth before he became a god."
"Before becoming a god, Shub-Niggurath was the promiscuous daughter of this evil city, so to speak. As for Yog-Sothoth, he was an evil being from the oldest generation, the wisest among the humans who first came to the underground ruins, and the one we respected most... But if you want to talk about something shocking, you have to hear about this 'Demon Lord.'"
"Was there something special about him?" Yu Jing was curious
