To bring an end to the Age of Gods and usher in the age of humanity, Ye Ting had painstakingly forged the God-Slaying Spear, slaughtered the gods of the entire world, and become the first—and last—Campione! in the world.
During the age of the gods, humanity had become an appendage of the gods, their puppets. For the primates of all creation to survive by living at the mercy of others was, to modern people, an unimaginable irony.
Yet in the Age of Gods, this was common sense accepted by all humans and deities alike.
Like slave owners, the gods ruled over these weak yet sentient lives. What they ruled was not humanity's flesh, but their souls.
Ye Ting's greatness lay in ending that "common sense," giving humanity the chance to attain true free will, and truly returning humanity's fate to humanity itself—after all, he himself was also one of them.
But who could have imagined that those gods who had initially enslaved humanity and wantonly controlled their lives had once, before becoming "slave owners," been liberators like Spartacus?
Yes, even those gods slain by Ye Ting had once possessed their own glorious moments. They had joined forces to free this world from the grasp of an even more terrifying ruler.
The power of the overthrown ruler was seized by the gods, while some of that ruler's fragments were ultimately absorbed into them, becoming part of their ranks.
That former ruler was an existence known as the "Primordial Mother Goddess."
The Primordial Mother Goddess was an ancient and powerful goddess who had originally existed in myths across the world.
In different mythologies, this goddess represented that which existed before all else and often symbolized the primordial sea.
Worship of this primordial goddess came from the most distant and primitive pantheon worship.
