After dealing with the Duchess of Red Dragon, Soren felt refreshed!
However, he still felt the need to ponder the matter concerning the Ancient Gods, as anything related to them was truly **. The average challenge level was over level 25 and could possibly reach the terrifying level of over 30. Even True Gods had suffered setbacks due to matters related to the Ancient Gods. Although the Astral Realm held the remains of deceased Ancient Gods, those Ancient Gods, even in death, could not be treated lightly because they are the oldest beings in the multiverse.
It is necessary to mention the Lord of Hell – Asmothiels!
He is a creation of the Ancient Gods, and Asmothiels’ qualifications are older than many contemporary gods, perhaps only comparable to the former existence of Rosanda, who was once the Ancient God known as the Sun God. The Sun God fell due to a cataclysm, and his divine soul was reborn as the Lord of Dawn – Rosanda. After the destruction of the Arcane Empire, Rosanda advanced to become the Lord of Radiance. In fact, upon closer inspection, all of this deity’s sources of power are interconnected.
A monument was left from the Silver Era.
It describes Asmothiels as follows:
“In the earliest stage of the universe, chaos was everywhere. Demons came uninvited – they represented chaos. Time had not yet emerged, and due to their chaotic nature, the demons slaughtered each other in every part of the universe.”
“This chaos was unbearable for the entire universe, so a different force appeared to counter it – order. The war between order and demons began.”
“These newly born Gods of Order wore armor made of pure order power, taking up arms for their ideals. They then launched a fierce offensive against the demons. This war lasted for countless centuries. The Gods of Order created holy 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 Gods of Order felt as if they could never kill the demons to the last. They grew weary of the war and wished to focus on other matters, such as creating worlds and sentient beings. They first created warriors with beautiful wings as servants and granted them divine techniques. These glorious beings became known as angels.”
“Among all the angels, Asmothiels was the most valiant and handsome.”
“He killed more demons than any other angel, even more than any god! But countless ages passed, and Asmothiels and the other angels gradually became tainted by some traits of their enemies. Gradually, their originally beautiful appearances became ugly, and the Gods of Order and other angels began to fear them.”
………………
This is where the inscription ends.
The Gods of Order 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, while the first generation comprises the Ancient Gods of Order. They did not require the power of faith and possessed very terrifying divine power. The second generation consisted of the Ancient Gods of Planes, represented by the likes of Mother Earth, Lord of Storms, and Father Oak, among others. These Ancient Gods once did not require faith, but now some do; while some, like Mother Earth, who have abandoned their divine professions, do not require faith either.
This is a transformation of the cosmic laws, balancing the powers of the gods.
Thus, the rules for the gods are also changing. By the time the third generation of gods, like Soren, emerged, faith had already become closely associated with divine power. Unless they reach the level of “Superior Divinity,” faith can measure the essence of a god.
The enormous corpses drifting in the Astral Realm are the first generation of Ancient Gods!
They have many names, and if one desires, they can even be called ‘Titans’; of course, this is just a relatively special title. Because in the multiverse’s “Wilds of Ecstasy,” there is a quiet divine kingdom called “Olympus!”
Here, it is necessary to mention the full name of the Wilds of Ecstasy, which is called – “The Wilds of Olympia!”
Just like “The Mechanical Mirror of Clock Nirvana,” these planes all have full names, and the title ‘Titan’ originates from this plane as a unique reference to the Ancient Gods.
This is the Ancient Gods.
They have long since vanished into the annals of history, with only some massive corpses still drifting in the Astral Realm.
They all died by the hands of demons.
However, these were not the present demons, but rather an even older chaotic species that predates the Obsidian Demons!
The full name of the plane represents history and has a special meaning.
The full names of the planes known to Soren are – the Heroic Field of Joseph’s Garden, the Sea of Eternal Chaos, the Howling Abyss of the Tempest, the Bottomless Abyss of the Infinite Layers, the Banished Abyss of Caselli, the Gray Wastes of Hades, the Eternal Wasteland of the Hell of Scorching Flames, the Nine Layers of Hell of the Hell of Bartok, the Battlefield of Hell of the Arena of Shura, the Mechanical Realm of Clock Nirvana, the Peach Blossom Land of the Peaceful Kingdom, the Mount Heaven of the Seven Hills Paradise, the Twin Eden of the Twin Paradise, the Paradise of the Blessed Region, the Beast Garden of the Endless Wastes, the Wilds of Olympia, and the Outer Domain of the Harmonious Field!
This is the multiverse.
Countless planes, great and small, constitute everything in the multiverse. Now Soren, even as a deity, sees only the tip of the iceberg.
Just like the “Pantheon,” even the gods see merely a portion of what lies within the framework.
The era of the Ancient Gods has passed.
The current gods find it difficult to speculate about their powers. It can only be confirmed that they were the initial creators of the multiple planes.
Now there are few gods capable of creating planes, and this has even become one of the benchmarks for “Superior Divinity”! And the seventeen planes mentioned above were all created during the era of the Ancient Gods!
………………
Soren gradually awoke from his contemplation.
Soon, it seemed he thought of something, and he slapped his head and said, “How could I forget this! The secret of the Werewolf God – Yenogu!”
As if realizing something, Soren quickly rushed to his study and began to flip through many ancient books.
He was looking for something!
Looking for an ancient record about the Werewolf God – Yenogu.
“On the 422nd layer of the Bottomless Abyss, this is the domain of the Lord of Storms, the Obsidian Demon Bechard. Although the betrayal and betrayal of the Tanar’ri Demons ultimately severed Bechard’s connection to this layer and drained his life force from his lifeless massive shell, the agony of the Obsidian Demon’s death has continued for endless ages.
Now, this enormous and grotesque demon resembles a twisted, beached whale, unable to move on its own, left exposed under the scorching sun of this layer. Time and again, the coastal rock formations supporting his half-dead body are shattered by the furious hurricanes or treacherous winds and acid rain, and Bechard’s once flawless control over the weather is inadvertently triggered by the unbearable pain of his slow death.
Though he can no longer speak, Bechard still retains fragments of once vast consciousness. If contacted through telepathy, he would converse in a slow, melancholic tone about an era long before the Tanar’ri was born, about the rise and fall of the oldest demons. A trusted frequent visitor might even hear Bechard recount that demons did not originate from the Bottomless Abyss, but migrated from somewhere else, having abandoned a malevolent race of creators that has since vanished into the flow of history.”
………………
Soren’s finger paused on this page of the ancient book, then he seemed to think of something, and his body started to tremble.
“Obsidian Demon!”
“Information about the First Generation of Demons!…”
“There is no need to think about the corpses of the Ancient Gods; this Obsidian Demon sealed in the domain of the Werewolf God possesses at least Moderate Divinity, or perhaps even Superior Divinity!”
“If I can seize the powers it wields!”
“Then I would completely possess the ability to independently explore the corpses of the Ancient Gods!…”
This ancient, nearly deceased Obsidian Demon Lord is the greatest secret of the Werewolf God – Yenogu, and one of the most frequent visitors. If not for thinking of the Ancient Gods today, Soren would have almost forgotten this immense beached ancient demon drifting in the Bottomless Abyss. This is an extremely ancient existence among Obsidian Demons, and it even has a very direct connection to the First Generation of Demons.
And those corpses of Ancient Gods drifting in the Astral Realm were killed by the hands of the First Generation of Demons!
