Perfect God

Luck gathers, the wheels of time roll forward.

The Immortal Clan only vaguely sensed that this twisted plane seemed to possess some kind of power, perhaps enabling Qing Liu Sheng to reach the pinnacle faster.

What exactly it was, the Immortal Clan had no way of knowing, unlike the God Court, which had special treasures to directly foresee the truth — the possibility of overturning the Immortal Dynasty.

Yun Ye had already taken over the body while spreading power. He and Alania urgently arrived at the government building, and under guidance, pushed open the door of a certain room. A complex spatial Law Array rotated and activated, teleporting the two to a certain point.

The teleportation process was a vast expanse of white, accompanied by a cacophony of noises, said to be the voices of the past and future.

This world has time magic, so it's not unbelievable that the teleportation process, utilizing spatial technology, would connect with the past and future.

After a brief period of indecipherable noise, the two arrived at an island surrounded by white clouds. Upon closer inspection, the island was floating in the air.

There were several mages with astonishing Law Power present, some old, some young, but without exception, all were accompanied by a white-haired Miko.

Including Yun Ye himself, there were five in total.

When Alania saw the white-haired young girl, she respectfully bowed, but did not speak. Here, there was no need for them, these Miko, to waste time with pleasantries.

The white-haired young girl sitting on the grass of the island suddenly spoke, "The New God has arrived as well. Please, everyone, be seated. Time is not plentiful."

The Miko busily spread out carpets. The four Nation-Level Restricted Mages had no objections and sat around the young girl.

Although Yun Ye didn't recognize these people, he knew without Divine Law that they were all S-Class Mages. The white-haired girl must also be one of them.

Judging from Alania's respectful demeanor, she should be the rumored Child God of Snow Palace.

The white-haired young girl nodded slightly, "I'll make it brief. The Space King has stolen the New Embroidered Ball and the New Holy Grail. The intention should be obvious. This isn't a matter for one person, nor is it a problem that can be avoided by simply surviving the Third World War. Everyone must work together to solve this problem, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable, far more terrifying than the destruction of civilization."

"The Space King has probably been preparing for a long time. What are Your Young God Majesty's insights? Where should we start?" asked a gray-haired old man.

"Wait, let's clarify the New Embroidered Ball and the Space King first. I'm still completely in the dark," Yun Ye interrupted the subsequent discussion.

"You will know these things later. There's no need to waste precious time," a dignified man frowned, he looked at the Child God, his tone softening, "Your Young God Majesty, please continue. This new S-Class Mage has not yet grown to the point of knowing all this, which is why he asks these questions. There's no need to mind it."

"It's alright, this is something that should be explained clearly. I imagine there are some among you who don't know the inside story? The New Embroidered Ball and the New Holy Grail are both highly sealed, and even S-Class Mages mostly only have a vague understanding. In that case, let me tell you all about it," the Child God shook her head and began to talk about the history, or rather, the 'myth' of the two strongest Twisted Objects.

In mythology, the origin god of the Eastern humans was a goddess, and the origin god of the Western humans was a god.

The goddess once used the power of the Embroidered Ball to repair the heavens and the earth, allowing the Eastern humans to live and work in peace.

The god once used the power of the Holy Grail to bless humanity, allowing the Western humans to gain wisdom.

Both gods were human, there is no doubt about that, so they died, and before their deaths, they sealed the strongest Twisted Objects they possessed.

The same kind of Twisted Objects that were newly born thousands of years later are the New Embroidered Ball and the New Holy Grail, which respectively possess the power to repair the heavens and the earth, recreate mountains and rivers, and the power to bestow wisdom and fulfill wishes. At the same time, they also possess the astonishing side effects of Twisted Objects.

Each time the New Embroidered Ball is used, it cuts off the Luck pillar of humanity, making subsequent newborn humans like those who have had their limbs chopped off, with abilities far inferior to their predecessors. The manifestation of this is the loss of magical power, which is why modern magic technology was summarized and completed by the West.

Each time the New Holy Grail is used, it requires the extraction of massive amounts of blood. Each use leads to the deaths of tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, of humans, and even subtly interferes with the mind, which is why it plunders everything, slaughters various races, and triggers two world wars.

"So, what is the point of collecting the two great creations? What can they do?"

Yun Ye asked.

"Prepare for the Become God ceremony. Twisted Objects are distortions of the world itself, each representing a kind of divine right. Mortals can use them to Become God."

The Child God answered.

"Become God? Becoming God can make me stronger, can let me exert the power of Twisted Objects? Just like me?"

Yun Ye thought of Noah. He devoured Twisted Objects, and there should have been some setbacks, but he suppressed it with his power and directly completed control.

"Similar, but different."

The Child God shook her head, "Gods are divided into three stages, Child God, Become God, and Perfect God. From ancient times to the present, the Snow Palace Master has been called Child God because we have always remained in the Child God stage and cannot go further."

"Devouring Twisted Objects, containing and exerting their power, is only the Child God stage. Becoming God requires sealing the Twisted Objects into a dissolved state, obtaining the true authority of the world, rather than passively exerting power as it is now. This stage can even grant hundreds or even thousands of years of life. The stronger the authority, the longer the lifespan. Therefore, many ancient gods would plunder each other's authority."

Yun Ye said, "You mean, the Space King wants to achieve it in one step, continuously devouring two of the highest-level Twisted Objects to dissolve and Become God? It sounds unlikely to achieve. Doesn't it take many years to seal Twisted Objects for them to dissolve?"

The dignified man shook his head slightly, "Haven't you realized it yet? The New Holy Grail and the New Embroidered Ball are already in a dissolved state, greatly reducing the difficulty of dissolving them. Besides, the Space King is already eighty years old and has been preparing for this day for many years. He should have some certainty."

"If he really succeeds, it will be an irresistible force. All of humanity will be ruled. Even if he fails, the impact of the Twisted Objects going out of control will be enough to destroy humanity multiple times. It is a situation that must be prevented no matter what."

The others nodded. This was the reason for their sigh. The Space King came and went freely, and they had no way of knowing his location.

They could only wait until the Space King was ready and began the Become God ritual before they could take action to stop him. Otherwise, they would have already started acting. How could they have waited until now?

"Then what about Perfect God?"

Yun Ye suddenly asked.

"..."

"After Become God, isn't there still the Perfect God stage? What does that represent? Has anyone in ancient times ever achieved it?"

Yun Ye said.

"Enough, solving the immediate problem is more important. Don't waste time. Finding a solution is the key!"

The dignified man looked gloomy and scolded.

He was a human, not a Red Heaven Cultivator, and didn't have so many years of experience. He would feel annoyed by various problems.

The Space King stealing the two highest Twisted Objects had already made him very upset. If he continued to talk nonsense, he might really lose his temper.

"This is a secret that only organizations like Snow Palace with thousands of years of inheritance might know. Perhaps it will also help us. What's the harm in explaining it?"

The gray-haired old man said lightly.

"Agreed, I'm also very curious. Although I've devoured a lot of memories, there's no mention of the Become God ritual at all."

"How exactly does the Space King want to Become God?"

The last S-Class Mage, a pale golden-haired girl with glasses, said.

"You guys are so carefree. I hope you don't regret being one step too slow in the end. Do you really think Lin Kai and the others are launching a war for fun? Before the Space King Become Gods, whether we can solve the allied countries is a problem. Humanity will still perish then!"

The dignified man frowned, and the air solidified for a moment.

"War is war, Become God is Become God. War is just the destruction of humanity. We may not die, but Become God is different..."

"We will definitely die, but humanity may not perish. Can you understand the most basic logical relationship? We are not the nannies of the Eurasian Alliance. Naturally, we prioritize doing things that are in our best interests."

The pale golden-haired girl glanced at the dignified man, feeling inexplicable.

"If all of humanity dies, what need is there for our existence? Did you become stupid from devouring other people's memories and polluting yourself?"

The dignified man frowned even more tightly.

"..."

The gray-haired old man closed his eyes, not expressing his opinion. Both sides had to be saved, but preventing the Space King from obtaining power was more important.

If they didn't help the alliance, only Asia and Europe, or the surface environment, would be destroyed. Relying on magic, humanity could still barely survive.

But if they couldn't stop the Space King, they would return to the age of mythology, with a god ruling all of humanity, their lives and deaths entirely in the hands of another.

S-Class Mages themselves had the possibility of slaying gods. Even if the Space King became a god, he would definitely not leave them as hidden dangers.

So, once he became a god, they would surely die, but humanity would not necessarily perish.

"It's just a matter of priority. I don't want to argue with you, 'Destruction'. Instead of wasting time with me, you should let the Child God finish speaking quickly."

The light golden-haired girl crossed her arms and said disdainfully.

"Huff!"

The dignified man took a deep breath, suppressing his Rage, and looked at the Child God.

"Becoming a god can grant a long lifespan, but as the power within their bodies separates and transforms back into Twisted Objects, they will also head towards death."

"The so-called Perfect God is an evolutionary possibility, something inferred and perceived, but has never actually existed."

"According to biological evolution, the shorter the lifespan and the faster the reproduction, the stronger the ability to adapt to the environment. Therefore, even if the planet experiences various mass extinctions, things like cockroaches will always survive."

"This is a necessary measure for Life's evolution, for the sake of eternally inheriting its own genes, allowing itself to live on. According to this logic, if one day a creature evolves that can ignore Meteorite impacts, doesn't need any food, can breathe even poison, and can survive even in space, then does this creature still need to have lifespan limitations? Does it still need to reproduce?"

"The answer is no. The more advanced the animal, the more difficult the reproduction, and the longer the lifespan. The end of this road is eternal life, with the self being the clan, not needing to reproduce offspring, or rather, only needing to reproduce one offspring, a perfect Life."

"Various myths and legends tell of super Lifeforms where the parent dies before the child is born."

"The Perfect God is this kind of thing. If perfection can be achieved at the 'God' level, then the authority within the body should not periodically separate, and in a sense, a perfect god of eternal life is achieved."

"The Space King seized the two highest Twisted Objects, probably wanting to reach the Realm of the Perfect God in one step. Unfortunately, we don't know what the standard for the Perfect God is; everything is just speculation."

The white-haired Child God said.
