Sauron, the Duchess of the Red Dragon, felt refreshed after cheating!
However, he still felt that he needed to think about the matter of the ancient gods, because anything related to the ancient gods was really too bad. The average challenge level is above level 25, and may even reach the terrifying level above 30. Back then, even the true gods were involved in things related to the ancient gods. Although there are corpses of dead ancient gods in the astral world, even if these ancient gods die, there is no room for carelessness, because they are the oldest existences in the multiverse.
The [Lord of Hell] - Asmodeus must be mentioned here first!
Because He is the creation of the ancient gods, Asmodeus's qualifications are older than many old gods today, and the one who can be compared may be Lathander's previous life, that is, the ancient god [Sun God]. The sun god fell due to a catastrophe, and the soul of the god was reincarnated into the [Lord of the Dawn] - Losander, and then Losander was promoted to become the [Lord of Radiance] after the destruction of the Arcane Empire. In fact, if you look carefully, this All the power sources of the gods are interlinked.
There is an inscription left in the Thorium era.
This is how Asmodeus is described above:
"In the earliest days of the universe, chaos was everywhere. Demons came uninvited—they represented chaos. The time had not yet appeared, and due to the nature of chaos, demons killed each other everywhere in the universe."
"Such a chaotic situation makes the entire universe unbearable, so another force that confronts it has emerged—order. The war between order and demons has begun."
"The new Gods of Order, wearing armor made of the pure power of Order, took up arms for their ideals. Then they launched a fierce attack on the demons. This war lasted for endless centuries. Order The gods created scriptures to record their victories; they created time because they wanted to know how long it would take to achieve the final victory.
Gradually, the Gods of Order felt that the demons seemed inexhaustible. They're tired of war, and they want to focus on other things, like creating worlds and intelligent beings. They first created warriors with beautiful wings as servants and endowed them with magic. These glorious creatures are called angels. "
"Of all the angels Asmodeus is the most valiant and the most beautiful."
"He killed more demons than any other angel, or even any god! But as the ages passed, Asmodeus and the other angels gradually took on some of the traits of their enemies. Gradually, they were beautiful become ugly in appearance, and Order and other angels are terrified of them."
…
This inscription ends here.
The God of Order recorded in the inscription is the oldest group of gods in the multiverse.
Strictly speaking, Sauron's current god form belongs to the third generation of gods, and the first generation of gods is the ancient gods of order. They don't need the power of faith, and they have very terrifying divine power. The second generation of gods is the ancient gods of the plane, and the representative characters are the mother of the earth, the lord of the storm, the father of the oak tree, etc. These ancient gods used to not need faith, but now some of them need faith, and some have given up their priesthood, such as The mother of the earth is also an existence that does not require belief.
This is a shift in the laws of the universe, and the universe is balancing the power of the gods.
So the rules of the gods are also changing. Until the emergence of the third generation of gods like Sauron, faith has been closely related to the power of the gods. Unless it reaches the level of [great divine power], faith can measure the root of a god.
The huge corpse floating in the star world is the first generation of ancient gods!
They have many names, if you want, you can even call them 'Titans', of course this is just a special name. Because in the [Unrestrained Wilderness] of the multiverse, there is a silent kingdom of God called [Olympus Holy Mountain]!
Here we must mention the full name of the unrestrained wilderness, its full name is - [The unrestrained wilderness of the Olympia woodland]!
Just like [Clock Nirvana: Mechanical Mirror], these planes have full names, and the name 'Titan' originated from this plane, and it is also their unique name for the ancient gods.
This is the ancient god.
It has long disappeared into the long river of history, only some huge corpses are still floating in the star world.
They all died at the hands of demons.
But it's not the current demons, but an even older chaotic species than the Orbis demons!
The full name of the plane represents history and also has a special meaning.
The full names of the planes known to Sauron are Joseph’s Garden in the Hero’s Realm, Chaos Sea in Eternal Chaos, Crazy Tunnel in the Windstorm Abyss, Bottomless Abyss in Infinite Dimensions, Kaserli in the Abyss of Exile, and Casserli in the Gray Wilderness. Hades, Scorching Hell of Eternal Desolation, Bator Hell of Nine Hells, Shura Field of Hell Battlefield, Mechanical Realm of Nirvana of Clocks, Xanadu of Peaceful Kingdom, Paradise Mountain of Seven Hills of Heaven, Twin Paradise of Twin Eden , Blessed Land of Elysium, Endless Wilderness of Ten Thousand Beasts, Olympia Woodland of Unrestrained Wilderness, Harmony Outer Domain!
This is the multiverse.
Countless planes, big or small, constitute everything in the multiverse, and what Sauron sees now even as a god is just the tip of the iceberg.
It's like [Pantheon], even the gods see only an area within the layout.
The age of the Old Gods is gone.
It is difficult to guess about their power today's gods. It can only be confirmed that they are the existence of the original creation of many planes.
Nowadays, there are very few gods who have the ability to create planes, and this has even become one of the benchmarks of [powerful divine power]! And the seventeen planes above were all created during the period of the ancient gods!
…
Sauron gradually woke up from his contemplation.
Soon, as if he had thought of something, he patted his head and said, "Why did you forget this! The god of gnolls—the secret of Yeenoghu!"
As if awakened, Sauron quickly rushed to the study room, and then opened many ancient books.
He is looking for something!
Find a very old record about Yeenoghu, the god of gnolls.
"On the 422nd layer of the bottomless abyss, this is the domain of the storm lord, the Obiris demon Bachard. Although the betrayal and betrayal of the Tanari demon finally cut off Bachard's connection with this layer, and took the vitality from him It was squeezed dry from the lifeless huge shell, but the pain of the death of the Obiris demon had lasted for endless years.
Now, this huge and weird demon resembles a twisted stranded whale, unable to move by itself, and can only be exposed to the scorching sun of this layer. Time and time again, the coastal rock formations that supported his half-dead body were shattered by violent hurricanes or treacherous winds and acid rain, and Bachard's once-perfect mastery of the weather was inadvertently triggered by the excruciating pangs of a slow death.
Although unable to speak, Bachard still retains some fragments of the once vast consciousness. If connected telepathically, he speaks in a slow, melancholy tone about the rise and fall of the oldest demons in a time long before the birth of the tanar'ri. And a trusted frequent visitor might even hear Bachard tell that the demons did not originate in the Abyss, but migrated from somewhere else, after abandoning some evil creator long lost to history. after race. "
…
Sauron's fingers landed on this page of the ancient book, and as if he had thought of something, his body trembled a little.
"Orbis Demon!"
"There is information about the first generation of demons!..."
"There is no need to think about the corpse of an ancient god now. This Orbis demon, who is sealed in the domain of the Gnoll God, has at least [medium divinity], and may even be [strong divinity]!"
"If you can take away his power to participate!"
"Then I can completely have the ability to independently explore the corpse of the ancient god!..."
This ancient demon lord of Orbis, who is near death, is the god of gnolls—Yenoghu’s biggest secret, and one of the most frequent visitors. If he hadn’t thought of the ancient god today, Sauron would have almost forgotten about this huge monster. An ancient demon stranded in the Abyss. This is also a very ancient existence among Orbis demons, and it even has a direct connection with the first generation of demons.
And those corpses of ancient gods floating in the star world died in the hands of the first generation of demons!
