The three divine forces collided within the statue, causing the entire goddess statue to tremble, and even the chains to shake!
Such a tremor could not possibly break the chains; the chains are not that fragile, otherwise they would have broken long ago.
What do you want to ask?
"You want to erode the sun's authority?"
"That's right."
The goddess didn't hide it and admitted it directly, which saved Jiang Ran from trouble.
Jiang Ran didn't ask her why she wanted to erode the sun's power. People strive for higher things, and so do gods. Greater power always fascinates and inspires people.
He continued, "Do you want complete control over both night and day?"
"No, the sun and the moon cannot coexist, and I cannot wield two powers at the same time."
This is somewhat similar to the twelve gods; incompatible divinity is just a burden if you acquire it, and forcibly absorbing it will only cause you to lose control.
So since the goddess of night didn't want to wield two powers simultaneously, what she wanted to do was actually quite simple: to transition from the power of night to the power of day, to transform from the goddess of night into the goddess of day, only with a "small" mishap along the way.
"Is it because the powers of the sun and moon are incompatible that the two powers under your control have gone out of control?"
"If that's the reason, then I wouldn't have gone through the transfer of power in the first place."
"If I wanted to take over the power of the sun, I had to give up the power of the night. There was nothing wrong with that; let the night return to its original state. But I overlooked one thing: I held onto the power for too long, which allowed it to develop its own sentience!"
"If I were to abandon them, then darkness, under the control of its own will, would engulf the entire world! The moon will not stop it, because only extreme darkness can highlight the light; the darker the night, the brighter the moon!"
Jiang Ran understood that once the goddess inherited the power of the sun, he himself would be fine, because she was the sun, and nothing that happened in the night could affect her!
But it's different for humans; they will be completely swallowed up by darkness, and with their strength, they are simply no match for it.
For the sake of the people she protected, the goddess had no choice but to suspend the erosion of the sun's power, but she did not want to give up the sun altogether, which led to the current situation.
The moon and darkness have lost control and become independent wills, while the goddess currently still holds complete authority over the stars and incomplete authority over the sun. Even so, the incompatibility between the stars and the sun must be causing her great distress!
According to this logic, darkness and the moon are the opposites of the goddess, because the goddess originally wanted to abandon them, but now she has to keep them hanging on for some reason, which makes them seem independent, but they are not truly independent.
After all, if the Goddess of Night were to relinquish her power over the Sun, she could immediately reclaim all the power over the Night! But if she did that, all her previous efforts would be in vain.
Since the moon is also the opposite of the goddess, why is it opposed to darkness? These three forces seem to be unwilling to submit to each other.
That's right, nobody wants to be incomplete, so darkness and the moon, both under the authority of night, can never stand on the same side! Their relationship will only be one of mutual erosion and plunder!
Judging from the inscriptions left in the temple, that dark creature has already started to call itself a goddess. As long as the goddess relinquishes her authority over the night and ascends to become the goddess of day, it will immediately devour the moon and become the next goddess of night!
The moon probably thinks the same way, but it's a bit smarter. By using the fact that "the goddess was once the moon," it gains the faith of the goddess's followers first and wants to replace the goddess!
The reason why archbishops throughout history did not reveal the secrets they knew was probably because they were afraid of causing panic.
If you were to tell the whole world right now, "The world is about to be destroyed, and it's only one person holding it up, but that person can leave at any time without any loss to them," the world would absolutely descend into chaos!
Similarly, this also left them a way out; darkness was going to engulf the world, but at least the moon did not show such an intention.
If one day the goddess of night truly decides to relinquish their position and inherit the sun's throne, they can then elevate the moon to the goddess of night's position, thus at least avoiding the worst-case scenario.
The darkness's encroachment did indeed originate with the goddess, and her predicament stems from her desire to protect others. Currently, the goddess is in a state of great inner conflict; she neither wants to abandon her child nor her sun.
Humans always have difficulty making choices, and even gods are no exception.
Both the moon and darkness were waiting for the goddess to vacate her throne so they could sit on it, while the goddess swayed between the two sides. However, this situation was quite different from Jiang Ran's initial guess!
The goddess is not in a weak position at all; on the contrary, she is in an absolutely dominant position!
She can either relinquish the power of night and directly ascend to the Goddess of Day, or she can relinquish the power of the sun and reclaim the power of night. No matter which choice she makes, she will never suffer a loss; at most, everything will simply return to normal.
Even a god in distress is still a god!
Thinking of this, Jiang Ran felt a little scared. Fortunately, there was a restriction set up by the Wheel of Destiny on Blue Star, which prohibited True Gods from descending in their true forms. Otherwise, they would really be in trouble!
Just as Jiang Ran was pondering, the moon's voice came again.
People need a goddess of the night, but they don't care who that goddess is.
"Sever the chains, my archbishop! When I become the goddess of night, I will also protect the people of the world, and then He can peacefully become His goddess of day."
This is a win-win suggestion, isn't it?
The moon's description sounds wonderful, but it actually has several flaws.
First, if the chains are broken and the goddess of night is promoted to the goddess of day, then the next step will be a battle between the moon and darkness. If it loses, the world will be swallowed by darkness, and at that time the goddess who has become the goddess of day will have no power to interfere.
Even if it wins, it's uncertain whether what it says is true or false.
This is why the goddess of the night is unwilling to leave even now; darkness is the enemy, and she doesn't believe in the moon.
But what can be done if this drags on? The goddess of the night is unwilling to let go of either one; what is she waiting for?
What is the purpose of sacrifice?
The goddess is now in a position of absolute advantage! Hmm, if that's the case, why does she need anyone to sacrifice? No matter how many people are sacrificed, it's impossible for her to simultaneously wield two powers; it's simply meaningless!
What is the purpose of sacrifice?
