The Dharma King chuckled, "When have you ever been clean?"
Thousand Faces chimed in, "That innocent-looking boy is a thing of the past."
Qin Ze disagreed with this.
Although he was the Heart of the Gods and the Source of God, this only defiled his body; his soul remained pure.
But now, that innocent soul is gone forever.
Qin Ze now understood why the orthodox Star God were so resistant to absorbing the Relic the Strange God.
Once this stuff sticks to you, it's really hard to get rid of.
And it will leave a permanent stain.
"I will wait for you in your nightmares."
Qin Ze thought of the words Yan had said before she died.
She did it.
At this moment, Miss Sword Case also discovered the stain in Qin Ze's Spiritual Sea of Consciousness.
"You've been Corruption."
Miss Sword Case's tone revealed deep concern.
Absorbing the Relic the Strange God has significant side effects.
She was terrified that one day her best friend would lose herself on this path.
Qin Ze said calmly, "It's not a big problem; everything is still under my control."
High risk often means high reward.
After absorbing the Nightmare's Relic, the progress bar for the Source of God directly broke through to the ninety-first level.
Qin Ze eagerly pulled out the Chronicle of Time.
Now, only a few pages remain in the Chronicle of Time; the grand finale is fast approaching.
Qin Ze moistened his fingertip with saliva and flipped to the spot he had looked at last time.
[13,510th year of the Divine Calendar]
[I found the entrance to the path the silly bird took. I built a door; from now on, this will be the Northern Heaven Gate.]
If you ask me why it's called the Northern Heaven Gate and not the Southern Heaven Gate or the Heaven Gate, I want to tell you that I just want to call it that.
Qin Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
Just as he had initially thought.
The name "Northern Heaven Gate" was entirely due to the Master Desolate's perverse sense of humor.
The Land of the Gods has been sievered by Chaos.
If there were a few more Northern Heaven Gate, the gods wouldn't need to fight anymore.
[ Chaos can continuously channel power through these loopholes, and the number of Strange Beast and Strange God will only increase.]
I have to see my goddess. I need to tell her about this. We can't just sit here and wait to die any longer.
If Heaven wants to destroy me, then I will destroy Heaven.
Qin Ze mentally gave Master Desolate a thumbs up.
Although Master Desolate is not Sequence God, he is the most courageous among all the gods.
If the Land of the Gods had to choose a leader, Qin Ze would vote for Master Desolate.
Having seen this, Qin Ze finally understood why the Abyss had been able to hold out until now.
Master Desolate blocked the entrance to heaven with the Northern Heaven Gate.
In addition, the Oracle Holy Temple also served a similar purpose.
The rate at which Chaos forces invade slows down, and the efficiency of New Land formation also decreases significantly.
If these two breaches hadn't been sealed, the Abyss would likely have been completely conquered by the New Land.
[The goddess has recently started refusing to see guests again.]
[From the moment the first Strange Beast appeared, the goddess became increasingly abnormal.]
Although she gave me a second life, and is like a second mother to me, I can't speak ill of her behind her back.
[But I still can't help but say, if you can't manage the Land of the Gods, then don't bother. Hand over the reins to me.]
Even before the Goddess of Life died, Master Desolate had already begun plotting to "usurp power".
[When we met this time, I noticed that the goddess looked much worse; she wasn't as radiant as before, like a withered flower.]
[I told the goddess about my encounter with the heavens and the truth of the world that I knew.]
[The goddess remained silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally she only said one sentence.]
[I'm dead, and maybe all of this will end.]
The Mist Lord said in the Local Area Network: "It's that classic moment again when the goddess begs for death."
Qin Ze was speechless.
The Goddess of Life has an extremely deep obsession with death.
[Problems need to be solved; they can't be resolved simply by someone dying.]
[Upon hearing my words, the goddess told me the origin of all this.]
[She was once one of the Chaos Pillar God, and the Chaos myriad realms were originally thriving and full of vitality.]
[But suddenly one day, the heavens began to collapse, and the Chaos myriad worlds were like soap bubbles, bursting one after another.]
The Pillar God didn't know what was wrong with the heavens, and they tried various methods to no avail.
As time went on, the Pillar God also began to suffer the backlash.
[The goddess did not want to sit idly by and wait for her doom. She stole some of the powers of the other gods, as well as the core power of the heavens, and came to this place, creating the Land of the Gods.]
[The goddess's idea was very simple: the Land of the Gods was entirely copied from the template of Chaos.]
[This includes Myriad Races mentioned here, which also correspond to the myriad realms within the Chaos.]
The Goddess of Life wanted to use the Land of the Gods to repeatedly Deduction the cause of the heavens' illness.
Unfortunately, the goddess has yet to find the cause of this illness.
Qin Ze frowned deeply.
Therefore, the Goddess of Life did not come here merely to escape.
She also harbored the purpose of "scientific research".
However, Tian's "illness" was too complex to be Deduction by the small Land of the Gods.
Qin Ze thought of those Hunt Otherworld.
The creation of the Hunt Otherworld was likely also for the purpose of collecting data for the Goddess of Life.
Each Otherworld is an "if-line" for a civilization. When these "if-lines" are grouped together in units of tens of thousands, they become very valuable for reference.
[The goddess said that the heavens came following her scent.]
[If she dies, Heaven will treat the Land of the Gods like any other Chaos realm, and will no longer pay much attention to it. The Land of the Gods may then be able to successfully survive this invasion by the Strange God.]
[But I asked her, "What happens next? Will the Land of the Gods, like other Chaos World, turn red and perish?"]
The goddess answered yes, after her death, the heavens will reclaim the power she stole.
Without this power, the Land of the Gods will ultimately perish.
In fact, the Abyss is a Chaos World.
It's just that the Goddess of Life gave it special characteristics by using what she stole.
It was precisely this uniqueness that made it known to Heaven.
Without its "special" status, the Abyss will quickly Annihilation.
I don't think this is a perfect solution.
[Losing your tail can indeed help you survive, but if a new tail never grows back, then that survival strategy loses its meaning.]
The goddess said that we are all caught in the great net of heaven, and no one can escape the Five Elements and Two Realms.
But I refuse to believe in fate; there will always be a way, there definitely will be.
The diary entry ended abruptly.
Qin Ze had no way to turn to the next page.
Only the last two thin pages remain in the Chronicle of Time.
When the progress bar for the Source of God rises again, we'll probably see the ending.
Qin Ze was filled with mixed emotions.
Subsequent events proved that Master Desolate had indeed found a way to redeem himself.
Unfortunately, this path was not fully explored.
The wounds in the Land of the Gods were only temporarily stitched up; the pain persisted.
Even today, the stitched wounds are slowly being reopened.
