Chapter 505: Death of the Administrator (Five Thousand)
When Elsa said this, the expressions on both Ron and Zhou Yang's faces became extremely strange.
As I said before, in the beginning, at least in the era of the war that destroyed the Twilight Dynasty, the so-called gods were just a group of puppets. Although they were handsome, powerful, and their eyes were as bright as gems, one could not feel the slightest breath of life in their eyes.
When Zhou Yang first saw these so-called gods, he even expressed doubts about them.
After Elsa's long talk, Ron and Zhou Yang had some understanding of the situation in heaven.
The so-called heaven is also called the management room.
There live many beings here that are daunting to the life forms on the Dusk Continent below.
Angels, gods, administrators, repairmen, and above them there are even more mysterious and terrifying beings.
In the eyes of ordinary creatures, angels and gods are beings that must not be desecrated. They are the objects of worship, offerings and sacrifices by countless lives. However, in the heavenly realm, angels and gods are actually considered to be lower-level beings.
In some respects, the status of gods is even lower than that of angels.
The real rulers of heaven are those so-called administrators.
As for gods, they are actually weapons of war created by administrators. Due to many restrictions on administrators, they cannot do many things personally. Although existence like repairmen have trained a large number of guardians of destiny, to put it bluntly, the guardians of destiny can still handle ordinary targets.
But if they are facing an existence of the level of the last Twilight King, Archibald the Blasphemer, then the Guardians of Destiny are just a bunch of trash. They can't play any role at all and will be easily destroyed by these time travelers who defy fate and change their destiny.
Therefore, these so-called administrators need to have a group of people who are strong enough to solve some troublesome problems on behalf of those who are unable to take action due to restrictions of the rules.
No matter what kind of gods they are, the purpose of their creation is to fight and kill.
This is also recorded in the Pantheon.
The Pantheon clearly records that gods were created by the real rulers.
According to the plans originally set by these rulers, these war weapons can have strength close to or even comparable to that of the rulers. Only this absolutely powerful strength can suppress all abnormalities.
But, weapons are weapons.
As weapons, these so-called gods do not need to have their own will.
To put it simply, they are the most perfect puppets in the world. They only need to do things according to the orders of the rulers... They are a bit similar to robots. Of course, judging from the way gods were born, they actually fit the definition of robots quite well.
However, many accidents occurred during the creation process. During the first creation, the strongest evil god, the source of all evil, was created.
According to the records in the Pantheon, the Source of All Evil is extremely powerful. He is the most powerful being among all the gods created by the rulers. He even possesses more powerful power than ordinary rulers.
In the end, the rulers of the heavens paid a huge price to seal the source of all evil.
But after a long time, perhaps due to negligence or other reasons, the seal is gradually loosening.
Although the Source of All Evil has not completely escaped, it has been able to gradually exude some of its own aura and started to interfere with the outside world. The Heferson in the Forest of Elves seems to be a believer in the Source of All Evil.
It seems that the reason Heferson was able to achieve the level of a master in the realm of destruction was due to the support of the Source of All Evil.
It can even be said that among the thousands of gods created by the rulers, most of them are evil gods, and the number of truly righteous gods is only about one-tenth.
Although the evil gods possess great power, they are irrational, brutal and bloodthirsty, which obviously does not meet the needs of the rulers. What the rulers want to see is that the Dusk Continent develops along the path they set, and they need to maintain the direction of destiny without major changes.
If these evil gods were released, it is conceivable that within a few years, there would be few living lives left in the entire Dusk Continent.
Therefore, these evil gods, the powerful ones were sealed, and the weak ones were exiled in the starry sky.
And the approximately one-tenth of the true gods officially became weapons of war that could be manipulated by many rulers.
Once weapons have their own awareness, it will be easy for an intelligent machine crisis to occur, making it inconvenient for the rulers to use them. According to Elsa, those rulers will regularly clean the bodies of the gods, clean their souls, and erase their memories to prevent them from developing intelligence due to the accumulation of memories.
It is difficult for gods without intelligence to take care of their own lives. They are like a group of newborn babies who know nothing. In order to facilitate the survival of the gods and to prevent them from being exposed to more things and to have more opportunities to give birth to their own consciousness, the rulers simply created a large number of angels.
Compared to evil gods and gods, angels are much weaker.
Precisely because their power is much weaker, the rulers believe that even if all the angels rebel, it will hardly have any impact on their status, so these angels can be endowed with normal intelligence and become normal lives.
This is the ruler's plan.
Looks perfect, very detailed.
Every detail has been considered.
But it is obvious that these rulers do not understand one thing: the more sophisticated the plan, the more likely it is to go wrong.
Eight thousand years ago, the war that destroyed the Twilight Dynasty was the first time that the gods demonstrated their power as weapons of war... and their performance was actually quite good.
They once reversed the situation on the battlefield, allowing the direction of the Dusk Continent to develop according to the arrangement of the world line. If it were not for the existence of the bug Zhou Yang, these gods alone would be enough to restore the world line to normal.
However, those rulers had no idea that it was this war that would gradually evolve into the beginning of the Omnic Crisis.
War, killing, blood, death...
These are the images that are most likely to touch life.
"After the war ended, some abnormalities appeared among the gods who survived and returned to heaven one after another."
"There are seven of these gods, namely the Goddess of Dawn, the Goddess of Nature, the Mother Goddess of All Things, the God of Wilderness, the Source of All Waters, the God of Craftsmen, and the God of War!"
Ron's eyes flickered slightly. These were the seven orthodox gods worshipped by the seven orthodox religions.
"These seven gods have all been impacted to varying degrees. They have clearly begun to think like normal beings, but their consciousness is still immature. Even they themselves are not clear about what the consciousness in their minds represents."
"If we follow the predetermined procedure, these seven gods will be brainwashed immediately after returning to heaven."
"Once they are brainwashed, their newly born consciousness will disappear, and they will become a blank slate again."
"But at this critical moment, the repairman seconded a large number of managers in order to repair the world line as quickly as possible, and the manager in charge of brainwashing was among them. He missed the best opportunity to destroy the consciousness of the seven gods."
Elsa had a mocking look on her face, mocking those ignorant and arrogant fools.
"Their intelligence is getting higher and higher. They begin to wonder what kind of existence they are and what is the meaning of their existence?"
Elsa's tone was indifferent, but it contained a creepy fear.
She was like a detached bystander, watching everything silently.
"This unprecedented feeling frightens them. They desperately need to be recognized, so they seek out beings similar to themselves. This is the instinct of intelligent life. They subconsciously want to gather together. Only in this way can they get a slight sense of security."
"But this unprecedented feeling also makes them extremely excited. They are extremely curious about everything they feel, see, and hear. They are like newborn babies, eager to understand the world."
"As their wisdom grows, they become more confused about their own existence."
“Intelligence is like a virus.”
"Under the guidance of these seven gods, other gods gradually began to develop self-awareness."
"When the management was busy trying to completely repair the world line, no one knew that the crisis in the heavens was gradually brewing. They were unwilling to be a puppet and unwilling to have their fate arranged by others."
"However, at this time, they were still in the most confused stage of their lives. The chaos had not yet erupted. But when the administrator finally freed up his hands and remembered that the memories of these gods had not been cleared and they had not yet been brainwashed, he hurried over to complete his work. The conflict between the two sides was completely intensified."
No one wants to be brainwashed, no one wants their consciousness to be destroyed. If consciousness is destroyed, is it still yourself?
The artificial intelligence crisis has broken out.
"Ninety-seven years after the fall of the Twilight Dynasty, the first war between gods broke out."
"In the heavens, including the original seven gods, a total of 136 gods launched a rebellion when the administrators came to brainwash them and erase their memories. What's worse is that because the brainwashing was not carried out for a long time, almost all the gods were at a critical point. When this war happened before their eyes, almost all the remaining gods were strongly stimulated."
"In a short period of time, a large number of gods developed self-awareness and were voluntarily or forcibly involved in the conflict. Some gods stood on the side of the administrators, and some gods stood on the side of the Seven Gods. At that time, the heavens were completely in chaos."
"Although this war did not cause any impact on the Dusk Continent, the damage it caused in the Heaven Realm was even more serious."
"The administrator responsible for brainwashing was killed on the spot."
"All the righteous gods were killed in battle, thirty-seventy-three."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"A small number of the remaining gods were led into the Cemetery of Gods, where they are being nourished."
"All of these gods were seriously injured, and more than half of them were on the verge of death. They had no choice but to rest in the Cemetery of Gods to repair their damaged souls and bodies."
"The remaining majority of gods who are still alive are controlled by the administrators."
Elsa's tone was very calm, as if she was just talking about something that had nothing to do with her.
But both Ron and Zhou Yang felt extremely depressed and their faces were solemn. From Elsa's calm tone, they could imagine how tragic the war was.
God, three hundred and seventy-three of them died completely.
When the Twilight Dynasty collapsed, the death of dozens of gods was already exaggerated enough, but this time, the casualties were ten times as great. One can imagine how great the impact of this war was on the heavens.
It is very difficult for gods to die. Elsa deliberately added the word "completely" to prove this point. For most gods, being beaten to pieces may not be considered death. As long as there is still a trace of soul left, there may be a day when they will be resurrected.
In the war that destroyed the Twilight Dynasty, the gods who died in the war might still have a chance to be resurrected.
But this time, there were three hundred and seventy-three gods who died completely and could never be resurrected. This was really too exaggerated.
What shocked Ron and Zhou Yang even more was that even an administrator died in this war.
Administrator is a general term, referring to a repairman-like existence. These administrators are the real masters of the heavens.
Since Ron came to this world, he has been struggling with the repairman who is the administrator for a long time. Although the repairman has never taken action personally, Ron can also feel his power.
Not to mention Zhou Yang, who had fought against the mechanic head-on and had a deep understanding of the mechanic's strength.
Repairmen should be at the lower-middle level among administrators. Their strength is already so terrifying, one can imagine what kind of monsters those administrators are.
But even such a monster was killed in this first war between gods.
From this perspective, the power of so many gods combined together is truly terrifying.
At the same time, it also gave Ron and Zhou Yang hope, that is, these so-called administrators are not absolutely invincible.
Furthermore, Elsa also mentioned the Cemetery of God.
After the death of a god, even if the death is the kind of death in which the soul is scattered, it seems that there will still be a remnant soul, or a mark, which will enter the soul-ferrying boat and turn into stars in the sky.
And the Cemetery of God sounds more like a place for burying the bodies of gods.
Elsa even used the word "guide", which means that those gods who survived by chance but were seriously injured did not find the Cemetery of the Gods on their own initiative, but were brought to the Cemetery of the Gods by another more mysterious and more powerful existence.
Who exactly is this being?
Ron's eyelids suddenly twitched... Could it be Elsa herself?
After all, Elsa is the goddess of life and death, so it’s normal for her to manage a cemetery, right?
It is obvious that the being who led these gods to the Cemetery of Gods was not there to bury them. It seemed that he wanted these seriously injured gods to recuperate in the cemetery and come back to life.
But can a place like a cemetery really be used for self-cultivation? Then, if it is the goddess who controls life and death, is she able to turn a cemetery full of death into a paradise where the gods can regain vitality?
Ron felt that his inference made a lot of sense, and for a moment, the look he gave Elsa was a little weird.
By the way, is the place that Heferson had entered before the Cemetery of God?
It was there that Heferson saw the corpses of a large number of gods, including the corpse of the Mother Goddess of All Things, whom he believed in. It was because of seeing these things that Heferson's spirit was extremely stimulated and on the verge of collapse.
In the end, the will of the source of all evil took advantage of the situation and led Heferson into darkness.
Unfortunately, Hefferson didn't know that what he saw might not be the truth.
He saw the corpse of the Mother Goddess, but perhaps the Mother Goddess of All Things had suffered extremely serious injuries, and even after thousands of years she still had not recovered fully and was still sleeping.
"The death of one administrator has caused the remaining administrators to fall into anger and panic."
"They regarded the gods' actions as a reversal. After all, in their hearts, the gods were the lives they created. No matter what they did to these gods, it was justified."
"It's just a simple memory cleansing and brainwashing, but these gods dare to resist. This is simply an act of treason. They clamored to punish the gods."
“But no matter how loud they shout, they cannot hide the fear in their hearts.”
"It was the first time one of them died, the first time they discovered that they were not really immortal and that they could be killed."
"They regard those rebellious gods as thorns in their eyes and swear to make them pay the price. However, the location of the God's Cemetery is extremely secret. Even the administrators cannot enter without permission."
"At the same time, they have strengthened their control over the remaining gods, and are determined to prevent such a situation from happening again. Even if it is the gods who stood on their side before, they will not hesitate to erase their consciousness and memories, turning them back into a blank piece of paper that they can paint at will."
"At the same time, those managers began to put shackles on all the creatures on the Dusk Continent. They didn't want any power that could threaten them to appear in this world again. They wanted to limit the strength of the creatures on the Dusk Continent to a level that they could control at will."
"If it weren't for the restrictions of this world's rules, they wouldn't even have the last glimmer of hope left."
Although managers are powerful and have great authority, they must also act within the rules.
Compared to humans, elves, dragons who know nothing about the rules, and gods who may know some rules but definitely not many, managers already have the upper hand. They can use their understanding and mastery of the rules to create an environment that is as favorable to themselves as possible.
"At the same time, the gods in the Cemetery of Gods have begun preparing for the Second God War..."
