Chapter 1895 – Cosmic Will
”Elder Dark Ancestor, truthfully …… I was guided by someone this time and came to ask for my identity.” Lin Qiye’s expression was unprecedentedly serious.
”Guided by someone? Who is it?”
Lin Qiye hesitated for a moment, but still informed the Dark Ancestor of the little boy’s existence, and after hearing this, the Dark Ancestor’s frown instead grew tighter and tighter.
”So, if you know anything about me, please do tell.”
”It …… isn’t that I’m not willing to tell you, it’s just that …… your current situation is actually something we’re not too clear about.”
Hearing this reply, Lin Qiye froze in place.
The Dark Ancestor pondered for a moment and asked in return, “Let’s put it this way …… How much do you know about Ancestral Gods?”
”After the birth of living beings, the fear and worship of nature by all beings turned into faith, from which the existence of ‘gods’ was born, and these oldest, most primitive gods are called ‘Ancestral Gods’. ” Lin Qiye recalled Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Father’s description back then and replied.
”That’s right.” The Dark Ancestor nodded slightly, “Then do you know how faith, how ‘gods’ are born?”
Lin Qiye shook his head.
”Faith, which is imaginary, and gods like us, which are real …… from nothing to real, from nothing to something, this process that is ignored by most people is the true origin of all gods, and we Ancestral Gods are no exception.”
”You mean that this process is not a natural derivation?”
”Of course not.” The Dark Ancestor paused for a moment, “There was an existence that played a crucial role in this process.”
”What?”
The Dark Ancestor stretched out his finger and pointed to the sky above his head.
”This world itself …… or rather, the will of this universe.”
Lin Qiye froze for a long time and repeated with a frown, “The will of this universe?”
”The existence of gods relies on laws, and the laws, on the other hand, are the order in this universe …… It is driven by the will of this universe that we are born from faith, using the origin or laws as a basis for casting out bodies and godly powers.
In other words, the reason there are gods in this world is because this universe wants ‘gods’ to exist ……”
Ignoring Lin Qiye and Remembrance’s dumbfounded expressions, the Dark Ancestor stretched out his hand and pointed to the center of the high platform, the empty god altar.
”Remember that one?”
”I remember …… at that time, I was the one who placed the [King’s Star Coin] on the god altar’s groove to open the Ancestral God Stone Formation.”
”What was originally enshrined on that divine altar was the will of this universe, and that Star Coin was the tool we once used to visualize that strand of cosmic will.” A look of remembrance surfaced in the eyes of the Dark Ancestor, and
”Later on, we then encountered the Kraken Gods that invaded this universe, and they tried to pollute this universe, so we fought them with all our might……. After that battle, we were heavily injured and fell into a deep sleep, and the Ancestral God Temple was mostly ruined, and the Star Coin was taken by the explorers who mistakenly entered this place. ”
After listening to the Dark Ancestor’s narration, Lin Qiye took a long time to come back to his senses and asked:
”Gods are born out of the will of the universe, but the Cthulhu Myths are not among them?”
”They didn’t belong to this universe in the first place, and they weren’t myths at all, but foreign invaders.”
Lin Qiye nodded thoughtfully, this is consistent with Merlin’s previous inference ……
”But what does what you said have to do with my identity?” Lin Qiye still asked this most crucial question.
The Dark Ancestor gave him a big, meaningful look.
”You, are the will of this universe.”
These words landed in Lin Qiye’s ears like a thunderclap roaring out.
He was stunned in place for a long time before pointing at himself incredulously, “Me? The will of this universe? How is this possible?”
”Everyone in the world could be mistaken, but we will never …… We have served you for countless years, and no one is more familiar with your aura than us.” The Dark Ancestor said with certainty, “You are the will of this universe, or …… part of it.”
Lin Qiye stayed in place blankly.
In his mind, the scene described by Zuo Qing back then, when he was taken away from the hospital and then went out to “violently beat up” [Chaos], suddenly appeared.
[…… I’m not too sure what that was all about, you smashed an attack that was enough to obliterate the entire Heavenly Court with a single slap, tore apart [Chaos]’s eyeballs with your bare hands, and casually summoned countless white chains of Laws to pierce him through, and the spatial dimension was like a plaything in your hands …… ]
Summoned countless laws with his hands …… The spatial plane is like a plaything …… From Zuo Qing’s description, it seems that only the existence of the “Will of the Universe” can explain his abilities at that time! I don’t think so.
No,…… the one who controlled his body at that time should be that little boy!
At this moment, a thought crossed his mind like lightning!
”I’m not the will of this universe …… he is?” Lin Qiye muttered, “But if that’s the case, why did he say …… that answers about my identity could be found here? Or is …… he the will of this universe, and I’m a part of him?”
”If I’m really a part of him, why did I appear in the hospital …… and why did I suddenly arrive on Earth? Become Lin Qiye?”
”That’s not right …… he said he was Lin Qiye …… then who am I? It’s still not right……He should be the will of the universe to make sense……”
Complicated thoughts kept surging through Lin Qiye’s mind, he felt like his brain was bloated and everything seemed chaotic.
”You are the will of this universe, that’s all we can be sure of.” The Dark Ancestor slowly spoke, “As for the little boy you mentioned, the relationship between him and you …… is not clear to us, and your existence is not something we can easily understand in the first place.”
”No …… this doesn’t make sense ah?” Lin Qiye frowned and spoke, “Look …… at how vast the universe should be? Earth is not even a speck of dust in the universe, even if I really am the will of this universe, why did I appear on Earth in particular?
And …… if we follow this logic, why did gods appear only on Earth? Why did the Cthulhu Mythos invade this universe and choose Earth as the ultimate target?
It’s not like Earth is the center of this universe……. Why is that so?”
The deeper he thought about it, the more Lin Qiye felt that everything was so absurd, and it was as if his knowledge of this world had been turned upside down.
The Dark Ancestor raised his head and glanced at the other several Ancestral God stone statues, still speaking:
”This is something that can probably only be known when you personally take a trip to the depths of the universe ……”
Lin Qiye stood in place with his brows furrowed like a contemplative statue, not moving for a long time.
