Chapter 90: The Secret of Yenogu!

Author: Author (Floating Tower)
Soren felt refreshed after dealing with the Duchess of Red Dragon!
However, he thought it was necessary to ponder the matters related to the Ancient Gods, as anything associated with them was truly too **. The average challenge level was above level 25 and might even reach the terrifying level above 30. Back then, even True Gods had fallen into matters concerning the Ancient Gods. Although the Astral Realm had the corpses of dead Ancient Gods, even these deceased beings could not be taken lightly, for they were the oldest existences in the multiverse.
It must first be mentioned that the Lord of Hell – Asmothiels!
For He is a creation of the Ancient Gods, and Asmothiels’s qualifications are older than many current gods. The only one who might compare is the former incarnation of Loshanda, who was once the ancient god known as the Sun God. The Sun God fell due to a catastrophic event, and His divine soul reincarnated into the Lord of Dawn – Loshanda, who later advanced to become the Lord of Radiance after the Arcane Empire’s destruction. Upon closer inspection, all of this deity’s sources of power are interconnected.
A monument was left in the Silver Era.
It describes Asmothiels as follows:
“In the initial phase of the universe, chaos was everywhere. Demons appeared uninvited—they represented chaos. Time had not yet emerged; due to their chaotic nature, demons slaughtered one another all over the universe.”
“This chaotic situation was unbearable for the entire universe, so another force to combat it appeared—order. The war between order and demons began.”
“These newly birthed order gods wore armor made from pure order power and took up weapons for their ideals. Then they launched a fierce attack on the demons. This war lasted countless centuries. The order gods created scriptures to record their achievements; they also created time because they wanted to know how long it would take to achieve ultimate victory.”
“Gradually, the order gods felt that demons seemed inexhaustible. They grew weary of the war and wished to focus their attention elsewhere, such as creating worlds and intelligent beings. They first created beautiful-winged warriors as servants and bestowed upon them divine techniques. These glorious beings were called angels.”
“Among all the angels, Asmothiels was the most valiant and beautiful.”
“He killed more demons than any other angel and even more than any god! However, as countless eras passed, Asmothiels and other angels gradually acquired some traits of their enemies. Over time, their originally beautiful appearances became ugly, and the order gods and other angels came to fear them.”

This inscription ends here.
The order gods recorded in the inscription are the oldest batch of gods in the multiverse.
Strictly speaking, Soren’s current divine form belongs to the third generation of gods; the first generation are the Ancient Gods of Order, who did not require the power of faith and possessed very formidable divine power. The second generation of gods are the Ancient Gods of the Planes, represented by figures such as Mother Earth, Lord of Storms, Father Oak, etc. These ancient gods once did not require faith, but now some of them do. Some, like Mother Earth, who has abandoned her divine profession, do not require faith.
This is a transformation of the laws of the universe, balancing the powers of the gods.
Thus, the rules of the gods are also changing. By the time of the third generation of gods, which includes Soren, faith has become closely related to divine power. Unless one reaches the level of Superior Divine Power, faith can measure the essence of a god.
The huge corpses drifting in the Astral Realm are the first generation of Ancient Gods!
They have many names; if wished, they could even be called ‘Titans.’ Of course, this is a more special designation. Because in the multiverse’s Wilds of Liberty, there is a silent divine kingdom known as Mount Olympus!
Here, it must be noted that the full name of the Wilds of Liberty is—The Wilds of Olympia!
Just like the Mechanical Mirror of Clock Nirvana, these planes have full names, and the term ‘Titan’ originates from this plane, as it is their unique designation for the Ancient Gods.
This is the Ancient Gods.
Long gone, they have already disappeared into the river of history. Only some massive corpses remain drifting in the Astral Realm.
They all died at the hands of demons.
However, they were not the present demons, but even older chaotic species that predate the Obsidian Demons!
The full names of the planes represent history and have special meanings.
The full names of the planes known to Soren are—Garden of Joseph in the Realm of Heroes, Chaotic Sea of Eternal Chaos, Gyring Abyss of Whirlwind, Bottomless Abyss of Infinite Levels, Blighted Abyss of Caseril, Hades of the Gray Wasteland, Scorching Hell of Eternal Desolation, Hell of Bartok in the Nine Layers of Hell, Arena of Asura on the Battlefield of Hell, Mechanical Realm of Clock Nirvana, Peach Blossom Land of the Land of Peace, Mount Heaven of the Seven Hills Paradise, Twin Eden of the Twin Heavens, Paradise of Extreme Bliss in the Blessed Region, Garden of Beasts in the Endless Wastes, Wilds of Olympia, and Expanse Beyond Harmonious Realm!
This is the multiverse.
Countless planes, large and small, constitute everything in the multiverse, and even Soren, as a god, sees only the tip of the iceberg.
Just like the Pantheon, even the gods see only part of a region within the pattern.
The era of the Ancient Gods has long passed.
The current gods find it hard to speculate about their powers; they can only confirm that they were the initial creators of many planes.
Very few gods today have the ability to create planes; this has even become one of the benchmarks of Superior Divine Power! All those seventeen planes were created during the era of the Ancient Gods!
………………
Soren gradually awoke from his contemplation.
Soon, it seemed he thought of something and slapped his head: “How could I forget this! The secret of the Werewolf God – Yenogu!”
As if realizing something, Soren quickly rushed to his study and began flipping through many ancient books.
He was searching for something!
Searching for an ancient record about the Werewolf God – Yenogu.
“In the 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss, this is the realm of the Lord of Storms, the Obsidian Demon Bechard. Although the betrayal and treachery of the Tanar’ri demons ultimately severed Bechard’s connection with this layer and drained the life force from his massive lifeless shell, the agony of the Obsidian Demon’s d*ath has endured for endless years.
Now, this massive and bizarre demon resembles a twisted, stranded whale, unable to move on his own, only to be exposed under the scorching sun of this layer. Time and again, the coastal rock layers supporting his half-dead body are shattered by violent hurricanes or treacherous winds and acid rain, and Bechard’s previously flawless control over the weather has been inadvertently triggered by the unbearable pain of slow d*ath.
Though he can no longer speak, Bechard still retains fragments of the enormous consciousness he once had. If connected through telepathy, he would converse in a slow and melancholic tone, about an era long before the birth of the Tanar’ri, about the rise and fall of the oldest demons. A trusted visitor may even hear Bechard recounting that demons did not originate from the Bottomless Abyss, but migrated from some other place, having abandoned a long-lost evil creator race.”
………………
Soren’s finger stopped on this page of the ancient book, and he seemingly thought of something, trembling slightly.
“Obsidian Demon!”
“Information about the first-generation demons!…”
“There’s no need to think about the corpses of the Ancient Gods now; this Obsidian Demon, sealed within the territory of the Werewolf God, at the very least possesses Moderate Divinity, and might even have Superior Divinity!”
“If I can seize His power!”
“Then I can completely have the ability to independently explore the corpses of the Ancient Gods!…”
This ancient, near-d*ath Obsidian Demon Lord is Yenogu’s greatest secret and one of the most frequent visitors. Soren almost forgot about this massive ancient demon stranded in the Bottomless Abyss, if he hadn’t thought of the Ancient Gods today. This being is also very ancient among the Obsidian Demons, and even has a very direct link to the first-generation demons.
And those corpses of ancient gods drifting in the Astral Realm were slain at the hands of the first-generation demons!
