Bai Wei looked at the God of the Underworld again.
"Remember what I just said? You exiled your humanity." The Lord of the Underworld said, "Now that you still recognize yourself as a human, it means that your humanity has indeed been preserved. You succeeded."
The topic came back again.
"You just said that I had become divine at that time." Bai Wei said, "Do you mean that I have become like you and started to hate humans?"
"It's even more extreme than that. You begin to hate all creatures in this world." The Lord of the Underworld said, "We think humans are ignorant and hateful, and in your eyes, we are the same."
"But this shouldn't be the case," Bai Wei said. "I am taking revenge on you from the bottom up. But your contempt for humans is from the top down."
“That’s why I said that you were losing your humanity at that time, because human nature is from the bottom up. The endless killing made you gradually forget who you are. You went to extremes, and the only thought left in your mind was to end the Age of Gods.” The Lord of the Underworld said, “And something that happened after that pushed all of this to the extreme.”
"What is it?"
"Humanity has betrayed you."
Bai Wei frowned: "Humans betrayed me?"
"I don't know the specific details, because the gods at that time are dead." The Lord of the Underworld said, "I only know that a few gods lured the people of a village and launched an attack on you.
attack."
"Can they hurt me?"
"Of course not, but they can hurt the people around you."
Bai Wei subconsciously looked at Zoe.
"It's not just this little girl." The Lord of the Underworld said, "You may not remember clearly, but your journey from a broken paradise to a god-killer capable of destroying everything did not happen overnight. You were still socializing with people, still learning about this world, and still carefully maintaining the emotions that belonged to humans. But in the end, it all fell apart, and it was not destroyed by the gods, at least not directly by the gods."
Several figures appeared in Bai Wei's mind again, both old and young.
But their appearances were too blurry and Bai Wei couldn't remember them no matter how hard he tried.
"That incident greatly affected your humanity, which was already beginning to waver. You were furious at the betrayal of those around you, and this anger eventually spread to the human race." The Lord of the Underworld said, "After analysis, this incident must have been a premeditated calculation by those gods. They wanted to change your cognition and turn you into one of us. And they did succeed... Unfortunately, they only succeeded halfway."
At this point, Bai Wei already understood: "From that time on, my goal changed from ending the Age of Gods to..."
"Restart the world." The Lord of the Underworld said, "Destroy all living things in this world."
Bai Wei was silent for a while before he said softly, "What a crazy idea."
"For others, this is indeed a crazy and unrealistic idea." The Lord of the Underworld said softly, "But for you... you almost succeeded. Ever since you lost control and killed the girl next to you, no one in this world could stop you. You slaughtered all the gods, leaving only a hundred or so. These hundred gods were influenced by the remaining divinity after your death and started the final war of gods. After killing each other, only the current eight are left... Oh, now there are not even eight left."
The Lord of the Underworld paused, and then continued: "The same is true for humans. They are on the brink of extinction. You are only one step away from completely ending this world. But just
You stopped before this last step."
"Why?"
"I don't know. It can only be attributed to the last burst of power of your remaining humanity before it was completely devoured by divinity." The Lord of the Underworld said softly, "In short, you stopped. But you realized that you could not go back to the past. Divinity is too powerful, so powerful that humanity has no power to fight back in front of divinity. So in the end, you exiled your humanity and used your divinity to destroy yourself. This is the whole truth."
After the Lord of the Underworld finished speaking, the church fell into silence again.
Bai Wei leaned back in his chair, thinking about something, while Zoe was staring at him intently, and the Lord of the Underworld was waiting quietly.
It was unknown how long it had been before Bai Wei spoke again: "Why do you know so much?"
