"Hello, God of Lies."
Countless voices echoed across the sea of stars, and time, space, and destiny were all shaken by this voice.
Jenkins looked up at them:
"It's finally over, I became the real savior, so, is it time to become a god?"
With a smile on his face, he knew the answer.
"This time the situation is a bit special."
The voice came from the left, and Jenkins turned his head to look at the former [Prince of Lies] and the current [God of Shadows and Stealth].
"According to the rules established from the beginning, after successfully saving the world, the savior will be promoted to a god, and we will give the savior the corresponding priesthood, but the savior must also leave the material world, and gods cannot walk in the material world wantonly .”
"So, I'm an exception this time?"
Jenkins said he knew he would keep his word.
"Yes, it is an exception."
The voice came from behind, Jenkins turned around again, this time it was [God of Flowers and Celebrations] who spoke. She is the image of a little girl. Jenkins had dealt with her in the "Six Gods Under Nolan" incident, and guessed that she had a deep connection with "Lord of Flowers".
The last time I saw her, she used the body of the little flower girl. But this time it should be the original appearance, that is a little elf girl, so Jenkins' conjecture was once again confirmed.
"You are different from any savior. This does not mean that you alone occupy all the places, but that you are fundamentally different from them."
"Does it mean that I am now a god?"
he asked.
"of course not."
The voice came from the front, and it was the god of music who spoke. Jenkins knew that she was a clone of Ovia, who had inherited the priesthood of [Music]. Although they are clones, the two exist independently of each other and will not affect each other. But judging from the way the other party looked at him, even if they were independent of each other, their memories before becoming gods should be exactly the same.
"Your particularity does not lie in the state of your soul. Jenkins, in fact, you should already understand. But before we announce the final result, according to the usual practice, you need to know the operating rules of this world and know the deepest secrets of this world."
"About the cycle of sin, the meaning of gods and masters, and the many divisions of the physical world?"
he asked.
"Yes."
The god of music replied.
"Since that's the case, why don't I explain what I know first. I did see a lot from the slate just now."
He cleared his throat and saw that no "person" objected, so he looked at the sea of stars and told the gods:
"This world, even in the eighteenth century, is still a nascent world. It is still growing and expanding, and it is far from reaching its limit."
God smiled, and Jenkins really understood.
"The gods born from the beginning of creation have discovered this, so they also understand that the new world is not stable, so more new rules are needed, and stable time and space are needed. Therefore, righteous gods and false gods need to exist , They suppress time and space, and at the same time when they sublimate themselves, they engrave more rules into the world, adding power and rules to the newborn world."
After a pause, no one interrupted, and continued:
"But the space of the material world has a limit after all. When it grows to a certain level, the space of the material world cannot continue to grow. In order to prevent the space from collapsing or even more terrible situations, a sin cycle system was established to regularly clean up civilizations and intelligent creatures. Sin. I originally thought that the masters that must appear in each era are actually to divide the world and build a 'garbage dump'... Please forgive me for describing it like this, setting up a dump to deal with [sins], but I feel that this way of dealing with it is fundamental Not circular, just palliative. Now I understand...”
He took a deep breath. Jenkins had already guessed the above content, and the latter content was just harvested on two slate fragments:
"The most important significance of the emergence of masters at the end of the era is not to deal with those sins at all, but to deal with the problem of the expansion of time and space in the material world to the limit. The masters divide the excess time and space, build a new world in the void, and deal with Sin is just a small trouble to be solved by the way. And because the world of masters is only a small part separated from the material world, the rules of each world are not perfect, and there are special rules, which are not suitable for the existence of ordinary creatures ,but-"
He had a smile on his face, which was a smile from the heart and looked at the gods:
"It's really amazing, it's really amazing. The ancient gods who created this series of rules in the first era are really amazing. The world is constantly growing, but the time and space of the material world have limits, so Divide the material world so that the material world can continue to grow, and at the same time let the world of the masters become a new world. Although those worlds are not perfect, but because the masters are completely independent from the material world, they have mastered more rules."
He raised his head and looked at the seventeen rulers composed of stars:
"The masters are not the guardians of the sinful world at all. The masters above the gods are the breeders, the breeders of the new world. You have seen the future of the world. Since the material world has limits and cannot expand infinitely, then cultivate more There are many new worlds. There is a limit to the growth of a single world, so multiverses will be constructed. This is the truth of this world. This world is just in its infancy. The main material world is the qi point of the world, and beyond the qi point, Countless pioneers are cultivating new worlds to form a more diverse world system. This is the truth of this interesting world, a completely reasonable and correct truth. Masters are actually the gods of the new world.”
Knowing the truth from the fragments of [Slate], Jenkins was actually quite shocked. I originally thought that this world was dominated by the material world, and other worlds were functional subsidiary products. Only now did I realize that the dominant worlds other than the material world actually have the potential to grow into a new "material world".
The world he came into was quite young, but its potential was limitless. What is even more promising is that the gods who were born at the beginning formulated regulations for the development of the world in a completely rational way, which made it possible for a single world to evolve into a multiverse, from possibility to reality.
In the foreseeable future, maybe tens of millions of years later, dozens of material worlds will be connected to each other, allowing diverse civilizations and cultures to grow together.
Every master is determined to become a god. They were originally righteous gods, but they were willing to devote long years to do things that might not have any results for the development of the world.
The meaning of domination is to dominate a world and to cultivate a new world. From the beginning of the creation to the end of the eighteenth era, at the end of each era, there will be gods promoted to be masters, carrying the excess power of the material world to open up a new world.
"According to the rules, the eligibility to be promoted to the master needs to consider all aspects. The person who is promoted must be a righteous god, and the power of a righteous god is sufficient; the person who is promoted must find a successor who is similar to his own priesthood, and the rules cannot be vacated because of the departure of the god. ;The promoted person must be similar to the power of this era, so that he can leave with more sins at the end of the era."
This is the voice of Ovia, the sage is reading the ancient rules on behalf of the gods.
"So, in this era, it is the sages and artisans who are qualified to be promoted to the master?"
The sage represents knowledge, and the skilled craftsman represents machinery. For the civilization of the eighteenth era, the power of these two best meets the requirements.
"Me too, but I don't want to leave now."
The one who spoke was the orthodox god representing November [No Trace Traveler], the core priesthood [Travel] and [Contract].
Jenkins nodded knowingly, thinking of the insurance businessman who reappeared in the material world due to his own reasons. Fitting with the era does not necessarily refer to the theme of the era, but the rules that gradually improve with the development of civilization can also be used.
"So, the sage and the craftsman, which one will leave in the end?"
he asked again.
"It's a sage. I don't have a suitable heir. Looking at the years and the long river of fate, there is no suitable mortal candidate in the eighteenth era, and there is no similar god among the gods."
said the god of creation and machinery.
"It was originally me, and I chose the mortal Alexia Jane Miller as my successor. Regardless of whether there is any interference from the gods, she will definitely become the God of Mathematics, and the priesthood field highly overlaps with mine, so she can inherit my position. "
Ovia said.
"But even if Alexia becomes a god, she will only become a false god. How can she inherit your position?"
Jenkins asked again.
"The difference between righteous gods and false gods is not as great as the difference between gods and masters. False gods can inherit the position of righteous gods. With the help of the special fate at the end of the era, this can be achieved."
The gods of January, replied the God of Nature.
"That is to say, the original plan was that the savior Alexia, who was not the savior, would become a god and inherit the position of the sage, and the sage would become the eighteenth master, opening up a new world in the void, and My appearance disrupted all of this? So, is my appearance a bad thing to the world and to the gods?"
"No, your presence is a gift to God and the world."
Ovia's tone was exceptionally gentle:
"Jenkins, I don't care whether I become a master or not, and Alexia, a mortal, doesn't care whether I become a god immediately. It is a long and difficult process to open up a new world and sort out the rules to make it a new material world. But if someone Carrying a whole new set of rules, bringing new rules that have never existed in this world, then he will be directly equivalent to the personality of the master, and after he becomes the real master, he will become a god in the true sense. For As far as this world is concerned, the original material world is finally no longer alone... "
