Chapter 57: The Ancient God of Death – Ye Ge! [Request for Recommendation Vote]
A new day has arrived.
Modo is still calm and prosperous, seemingly unaffected by the gods’ war.
However, the changes in the dark have become very obvious. The undead have completely lost their former power, and many deceased mortals no longer resurrect as undead, while in the material plane, only a few corners still have undead struggling to survive.
The gods are acting swiftly.
After the final King of the Dead appeared, they quickly began dispatching church believers to reclaim lost lands while purifying lands polluted by the undead.
Soren has many things to do.
Currently, the most important task is to merge the powers of death, which comes from Sherek’s murder, Naraku’s death, and Klanvor’s deceased.
Soren chose the most essential path, which is to merge all these divine professions into one, becoming the true God of Death, or rather, He is preparing to become the only god of death in the human pantheon. Currently, in the entire human pantheon, aside from the Lady of the Night, who possesses a small part of the divine profession of murder, all other divine professions of death have been merged by Soren.
He is the God of Death of the human pantheon!
And he is also the most powerful God of Death among all races; the gods of death from other races, at most, possess a lower level of divine power.
Since the ancient God of Death – Ye Ge divided his power into three portions to bestow upon three mortals, the God of Death in the human pantheon has remained the most powerful, and now Soren has gathered this power, although part of the divine profession resides with Vivian and Lilian. However, what Ye Ge possessed was not solely death.
During the time of Nyss, Ye Ge had the following divine professions—death, the deceased, the order of death, funerals and graves, undead states, undead creatures, consumption, aging, exhaustion, cruelty, dusk.
At that time, Ye Ge was honored as—the Lord of All Ends, King of Skeletons, God of Death, Guardian of Death’s Glory, Guardian of Cemeteries, Recorder of Death, Indifferent Body, King of the Walking Dead, and Naga Society.
The planes he once ruled over include—Gray Wastes/Triple Depression of Onerios/Skeleton Fortress.
His previous allies include—Amanata (the ancient sun god, the former incarnation of Lushan Da), Shar (the Lady of the Night), and Tika (the former goddess of fate).
Ye Ge’s believers at that time included—Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Lawful Neutral, Absolute Neutral, Lawful Evil, and Neutral Evil.
And Ye Ge’s faction is [Lawful Evil].
From the above ancient records, it can be seen that Ye Ge is a very powerful and unconventional God of Death, as he has allies among both the good and evil factions. His believers seem to be able to follow him regardless of whether they are good or evil, as long as they are not from the chaotic realm.
This is the true God of Death!
Many ancient gods transcend the realm of alignment; the sun god also has followers ranging from good to evil, just not from chaotic alignments.
Perhaps someone would think of the original birth of demons, representing the war between the order gods and the first generation of demons.
That’s right.
These gods were the ancient gods of order who fought against the first generation of demons. Their essence differs from today’s deities, but their power is undoubtedly stronger!
The gods are changing.
The ancient sun god, the former incarnation of Lushan Da, once ruled over [Law] and [Time], revered as the Guardian of Law and the Guardian of Time. The era of ancient gods has ended; Father Oak has redeemed his fall, and Mother Earth has retreated into the depths. Ye Ge has renounced the divine profession of death due to boredom. Now, there are only a few ancient gods still active; Lushan Da has also reincarnated to start anew. Undoubtedly, this is now the era of new gods. The relationship between new deities and mortals has become closer, and aside from the Saint’s Cataclysm, the rise and fall of gods are significantly related to the mortal realm.
Death unifies!
Part of Ye Ge’s divine profession resides with Vivian and Lilian, but the divine profession of death has all been seized by Soren.
He is the only God of Death in the human pantheon!
And he is now the [King of the Dead], the ruler of the Underworld, the lord of the undead, the master of all ends.
………………
Soren has many things to do, but few things he can accomplish.
Because he needs to merge the power of [Death], to reclaim dominion over the Underworld, and most importantly, to maintain the domain of [Eternal Sleep].
This is a significant burden.
While maintaining the domain of [Eternal Sleep], Soren cannot leave Modo for too long, meaning that until he fully masters the divine profession of [Death], he can only rely on his avatar to act.
In this situation, he cannot make too many enemies.
Because now is also Soren’s weakest time, any overly powerful enemy would bring him tremendous losses!
………………
Underworld.
Deep in the Sea of Underworld, a woman with a beautiful and graceful figure appeared. Her attire can only slightly cover her softly glowing black jade-like skin, and she exudes an indescribable charm. This 7-foot-tall beautiful woman gracefully dances through the mist, elegantly avoiding well-known traps near the River of Underworld, soon arriving at an ancient palace.
This is a palace that has endured through the ages.
It is only the size of an ordinary temple, almost devoid of any splendid decorations, with solid walls adorned only with numerous plain inscriptions, recording the many deeds of the multiverse from its inception up to now.
This is Ye Ge’s temple.
Having almost vanished from the material plane, its only purpose is to record death and the end, and it is also Ye Ge’s only duty fulfilled at present—[Recorder of Death].
Some extremely ancient and powerful undead guardians are here, many of them act as scribes to record history. These powerful ancient beings hardly participate in any conflicts; their mission is to record death, and their final duty is to document the destruction of the multiverse.
Because Ye Ge firmly believes that the multiverse will meet its end in death from the moment of its birth; although this process will be extremely lengthy, it is his mission.
Ye Ge’s mission is to record the final destruction of the multiverse!
This may take hundreds of millions of years, even billions or even hundreds of billions of years. Unless an unexpected cataclysm occurs, the natural destruction of the multiverse takes an incredibly long time.
“Our agreement has been fulfilled.”
The Lady of the Night observes the temple in front of her with great interest and then says to the ancient God of Death at the desk: “The new King of the Dead has been born. I have also taken away the portion of the reward that I deserve.”
“I must say.”
“He’s truly a cautious little fellow! Your insight this time is quite good! It seems he will remain in this position for many more years than previous ones!…”
Ye Ge raised his head expressionlessly and replied, “I understand.”
Ye Ge does not care about the process of events; he only cares about the result.
The current result seems good; Naraku is dead, Sherek has fallen, and while Klanvor is a bit regretful, the new King of the Dead has been born.
This ancient God of Death is only loyal to the position of [King of the Dead], so if the current holder fails to properly fulfill their duties, he will secretly plot against them. Ye Ge maintains a tenuous cooperation with the previous God of Death, Milko, and works relatively harmoniously with the last God of Death, Klanvor, while holding a contemptuous and mocking attitude towards Sherek.
But even so, when Klanvor could not properly fulfill the duties of [King of the Dead], he still abandoned his support for Klanvor.
He is a ruthless ancient God of Death.
The Lady of the Night is full of curiosity about this temple, but she also knows that even having given up the divine profession of death, Ye Ge is still a terrifying enemy. Wisely, she completed this agreement and left; even though there are many secrets here that she is incredibly curious about, the Lady of the Night wisely chose not to explore them.
With the departure of the Lady of the Night, Ye Ge again turned his attention back to the sheepskin scroll in his hand.
As the oldest God of Death, he has lost all hobbies and feels no connection to the world; the authority of the gods has become a source of weariness for him; a year and a thousand years make no difference to him, for everything is just a record of text.
He has only one mission.
To maintain the order of death until the end of the multiverse arrives.
