"Senior Ancestor Ancestor, I'm telling you the truth... I was guided by someone to ask about my identity this time." Lin Qiye's expression was more serious than ever before.
"Guided by someone? Who is it?"
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment before informing Anzu of the little boy's existence. After hearing this, Anzu's brows became more and more frowned.
"So, if you know anything about me, please tell me."
"This...it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just...that we don't know much about your current situation."
Hearing this answer, Lin Qiye froze on the spot.
Ancestor Ancestor thought for a moment and asked: "Let me ask you this... How much do you know about the Ancestral God?"
"After the birth of living beings, the fear and worship of nature turned into faith, from which the existence of 'gods' was born, and these oldest and most primitive gods were called 'ancestral gods'." Lin Qiye recalled the spirit of that year Bao Tianzun's description, replied.
"That's right." Ancestor Ancestor nodded slightly, "Then do you know how faith gives birth to 'gods'?"
Lin Qiye shook his head.
"Faith is illusory, but gods like us do exist... From emptiness to reality, from nothing to something, this process ignored by most people is the true origin of all gods, and our ancestor gods are no exception. .”
"You mean, this process is not natural?"
"Of course not." Dark Ancestor paused for a moment, "In this process, there is a being who plays a vital role."
"What?"
Anzu stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky above his head.
"The world itself...or rather, is the will of this universe."
Lin Qiye was stunned for a long time, frowned and repeated, "The will of this universe?"
"The existence of gods relies on laws, and laws are the order in this universe... It is driven by the will of this universe that we are born from faith, relying on the origin or laws to forge our bodies and divine powers .
In other words, the reason why there are gods in this world is because this universe wants 'gods' to exist..."
Ignoring the stunned expressions of Lin Qiye and Jiu Jiu, Anzu stretched out his hand and pointed at the empty altar in the center of the high platform.
"Remember that?"
"Remember... at that time, I placed the [King's Star Coin] on the groove of the altar, and then opened the Ancestral God Stone Array."
"What was originally enshrined on that altar was the will of the universe, and that star coin was the tool we used to embody that ray of will of the universe." There was a look of reminiscence in Ancestor Ancestor's eyes. ,
"Later, we encountered the K-type gods who invaded this universe. They tried to pollute this universe, so we fought with them with all our strength... After that battle, we were severely injured and fell into a deep sleep, and the Ancestral Temple also Most of it was destroyed, and the star coins were taken away by explorers who accidentally entered here."
After listening to Anzu's narration, Lin Qiye came back to his senses after a long time and asked:
"Gods are born due to the will of the universe, but the Cthulhu Mythos is not included in this?"
"They do not belong to this universe, and they are not myths at all, but foreign invaders."
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, which was consistent with Merlin's previous inference...
"But what does what you said have to do with my identity?" Lin Qiye still asked this most critical question.
Anzu looked at him thoughtfully,
"You are the will of this universe."
These words fell in Lin Qiye's ears, like a roar of thunder,
He stood stunned for a long time before pointing at himself in disbelief, "Me? Is this the will of the universe? How is this possible?"
"Everyone in the world may admit their mistake, but we will never... We have worshiped you for countless years, and no one is more familiar with your aura than us." Ancestor Ancestor said firmly, "You are the will of this universe. Or... part of it."
Lin Qiye stayed there blankly.
In his mind, the scene that Zuo Qing described back then when he "violently beat up" [Chaos] after he was taken away from the hospital suddenly appeared.
[… I’m not sure what happened. You smashed an attack that could wipe out the entire heaven with one palm. You tore [Chaos]’s eyeballs to pieces with your bare hands, and you summoned countless white chains of laws to pierce him. The space plane is like a plaything in your hands... ]
Summoning countless laws at will... The space plane is like a plaything... From Zuo Qing's description, it seems that only the existence of "cosmic will" can explain these abilities of his at that time
No...it should have been the little boy who was in control of his body at that time!
At this moment, a thought flashed through his mind like lightning!
"I am not the will of this universe... He is?" Lin Qiye murmured to himself, "But if that's the case, why did he say... that the answer to my identity can be found here? Or... he is the will of this universe. , and I am part of him?”
"If I was really a part of him, why did I appear in the hospital... and why did I suddenly arrive on Earth? Became Lin Qiye?"
"That's not right... He said he is Lin Qiye... Then who am I? Still wrong... It makes sense that he should be the will of the universe... "
Confusing thoughts kept popping up in Lin Qiye's mind. He felt that his brain was swollen and everything seemed to be in chaos.
"You are the will of this universe. This is the only thing we can be sure of." Dark Ancestor said slowly, "As for the relationship between the little boy you mentioned and you... we don't know, your existence is inherently It’s not something we can easily understand.”
"No... this doesn't make sense?" Lin Qiye frowned and said, "Look... how vast is the universe? The earth is not even a speck of dust in the universe. Even if I am really the will of this universe, why do I have to do it? Will appear on Earth
And...if we follow this logic, why do gods appear only on earth? Why did the Cthulhu Mythos choose Earth as its final target when it invaded this universe
The earth is not the center of the universe... Why is this? "
The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous everything seemed to Lin Qiye, and his understanding of the world seemed to have been subverted.
Ancestor Ancestor raised his head, looked at each other with the other stone statues of ancestor gods, and then said:
"Perhaps you can only know this if you personally go to the depths of the universe..."
Lin Qiye stood there with a frown on his face, like a meditating sculpture that had not moved for a long time.
