Su Deng had long since died numb, but the excruciating pain seemed to still linger, as she gasped for breath in waves.
After what seemed like an eternity, she finally came to her senses, looked past everyone, and asked Yan Sizhan, "Who is she?"
“I’m not really sure.” Yan Sizhan shook her head, then paused. “But what she told you was the opposite.”
Su Deng was taken aback. "What do you mean by 'reverse'?"
"What I mean is that what [Su Deng] told you is true, but your positions are reversed compared to hers."
Fu Jin appeared out of nowhere, followed by Ares, Yin Jue, and Tsunomiya Riki.
These people are all executives of the Divine Court, and to the players, they are like gods!
The fact that they were all here today surprised everyone, especially since Su Deng had appeared with her. Whether it was Luo Zhao and his group, or Hong Ying, Ying Rujin, and the others hiding in the shadows, they were all taken aback.
“The bride in the Ghost Bride instance is not actually a ghost, but a ghost marriage. She was married off to a ghost and is called the Ghost Bride.” Riki Tsunomiya stepped forward, her white hair and colorful clothes exuding a gentle breeze. “This instance was originally the second stage of this Leap Race, but after you entered, you triggered something that caused changes to this instance.”
Su Deng: "...Is it her?"
Riki Tsunomiya nodded.
Fu Jin waved her folding fan: "What she said is true, but not all of it is true. You are the vessel used to create the god, which was split in two from the god's servant she mentioned, while she is the controller."
“Um…” Qiao Zhi cautiously raised her hand, “I don’t understand…”
Liu Sangua seemed to be deep in thought.
At this moment, every player who entered the Ghost Bride instance had heard the words of the other [Su Deng]. Fu Jin and the others didn't care whether they heard them or understood them.
Ares called out behind him, "Ding-dong."
"Here he comes!" A boy who looked young, wearing white semi-transparent glasses that looked like goggles, and with a mushroom haircut, ran out. He carried a black backpack and held several books that looked worn but had gilded covers in his arms.
After squeezing to the front and settling in, he adjusted his glasses, started flipping through the book, stopped when he reached a particular page, and began to read.
"In the beginning of the universe, the Creator created all things in the world, including humankind, and created gods to guard and observe humankind. Humankind was born with seven emotions and six desires, which have both positive and negative aspects. Desire, greed and evil began to run rampant among humankind."
"After good and justice repeatedly lost to evil, God wrote in his observation journal that humans are a source of greed and evil and should not exist."
"But the Creator felt that the universe must contain all kinds of life to be a complete universe. So the Creator divided the world into several parts and put each human being into one of them, letting them create and manage their own world."
As if afraid they wouldn't understand, Ding Dong looked up and explained, "It's similar to what you know as parallel universes, on the same timeline, but not in the same space-time."
All world timelines begin from the time when cold weapons were first invented and fire was first made by rubbing sticks together.
"The Creator's intention is that all worlds will advance in parallel, and the world with the most powerful humans, where justice and goodness can overcome evil, will be preserved, while the timelines of all other worlds will be destroyed."
“This sounds like…” Liu Sangua frowned, “like raising a poisonous insect…”
Ding Dong glanced at him, "That's how we understand it too."
They even discussed whether the creator was bored and had nothing better to do than create these worlds to watch them struggle against themselves for amusement.
But that was so long ago, and the Creator has vanished. Nobody knows what he was thinking back then.
Ding Dong continued, "The Creator created twelve gods to observe the various worlds and keep a diary of their observations. But later, a mortal enemy of the Creator appeared, known as the Demon God. The Creator perished with it."
Even if God dislikes humanity, He will still diligently carry out the Creator's command and continue to observe and monitor humankind.
"Gradually they discovered that humans cannot be completely judged by good and evil. In order to protect the Creator's creations, God extracted all the evil thoughts, greed and other negative emotions from humans."
"God suppressed these emotions in a mirror called the Mirror of God and Demon. But as long as humans exist, greed, evil thoughts, and desires will continue to flow. The more they are extracted, the more God himself will be corrupted."
"This negative emotion began to rage among the gods, making them evil as well. In order to prevent themselves from falling into evil, they used an inextinguishable lamp left by the Creator to create two guardians."
"The first is a lamp, the source of fire, capable of burning all things in the world and never going out. The second is a lamp, a container for the flame, holding all the flames in the universe. The two exist together, supervising the God of Chu, and also supervising each other."
"Because the origin is a thing, without a heart, like a mechanical puppet, all evil thoughts will be burned by the two origins. Therefore, they are responsible for absorbing the evil side of Chu Shen from humans and using the source lamp to suppress and burn it. If they cannot absorb it, they will kill the god who has fallen into evil. This is their responsibility."
"But what God didn't expect was that, in the long river of time that Zhan was observing humanity and supervising God, it was polluted by the absorbed [thoughts] and gave birth to [self-thoughts], that is, its own thoughts, and like humans, it gave birth to the seven emotions and six desires."
"This was something God would never allow, so God decided to destroy it, but only the accompanying lamp could kill it. However, they did not expect that the [lamp] burned too many evil thoughts, and the ashes merged with it, and it became the evil thoughts themselves."
