Chapter 437: All Beings Are Under Protection
Chapter 437: All Beings Are Under Protection
When the God of Magic moved, Qin Muye nearly jumped in fright, but he managed to control himself. If he had really jumped, the massive entity would have been in serious trouble right then and there.
If others were scared, they would shudder, but if Qin Muye was scared, he might retaliate with a powerful strike, dealing with whoever had frightened him.
"Outside the cradle is too dangerous; you cannot leave the cradle," the God of Magic muttered unconsciously, his voice filled with boundless and chaotic divine power.
"Does the cradle refer to the previous societal state?"
Qin Muye watched as the God of Magic continued to move forward, crawling from the center of the divine realm toward the edge.
Even without a human form, the God of Magic's mobility was not hindered.
"Has the restriction on the God of Magic disappeared? Has some mechanism been triggered?" Qin Muye instantly perceived the issue with the massive deity.
After the deity went insane, many of the original restrictions seemed to vanish like smoke.
"No, it's not that the restrictions have disappeared, but rather that they have been overloaded and damaged. He is about to enter the Material Plane to correct the error."
He understood that while the overload had damaged the original restriction system, it was also part of the system. Since it had indirectly failed, it would be directly erased.
"The Cradle Plan, does it mean to keep the entire civilization in the cradle?"
"Although the cradle is very safe, what should be done if the civilization grows?"
At this moment, Qin Muye seemed to understand something. A stagnant society would never develop and would remain in the cradle forever.
However, Duke White Frost's actions had broken the original societal state, allowing the civilization to develop again after a period of stagnation.
How to develop rapidly? Of course, through war. If it were a peaceful transformation, it would take too long, and war was an excellent catalyst, capable of making all things advance at an unprecedented pace.
Those who couldn't keep up with the times would naturally be crushed by them.
The deities, being in such a situation, would not develop, just like the stagnant Material Plane.
"From what I can see, the deities might not be crushed by the times, but they will destroy everything that does not conform to the old era, whether it be people or objects, until the entire civilization returns to the cradle they created."
"Thus, these artificially created deities serve as tools to smash the new era."
Qin Muye watched as the insane God of Magic smashed a large hole in his divine realm and slowly drifted into the Astral Plane, heading toward the Material Plane.
Throughout this process, the deity continued to mutter about the cradle.
"Without reason, only pure instinct remains."
"This Duke White Frost is really skilled at dealing with deities, but he seems unaware that the deities, after going insane, will go to the Material Plane to clean up the source."
It was clear that neither Duke White Frost nor Sam knew the true content of the Cradle Plan, nor were they aware of the subsequent deity project.
This was definitely a problem, indicating that the bloodline inheritance of the Three-Eyed Race might have been modified.
As for who made the modifications, Qin Muye had some suspicions. The only ones capable of altering such a highly advanced civilization were the Three-Eyed Race themselves.
"Currently, this is just a guess. We'll have to see if Duke White Frost or Sam can effectively deal with the mad deity. If they can, it suggests other possibilities. If they cannot, it is likely that the Three-Eyed Race's regression to normal humans and the suppression of their civilization's development were self-imposed."
"The bloodline inheritance might have been a form of insurance, but an accident has occurred."
Qin Muye knew very little about the Three-Eyed Race from the ancient Gendaya civilization. After all, it was from an unknown era. According to the records of the Church of the God of Holy Light, it had been at least hundreds of thousands of years, or it could be mere exaggeration to confuse the timeline and avoid exposure.
But this civilization had been destroyed for an unknown number of years.
Many things might not even be remembered or known by the God of Holy Light, the party involved. From the conversation between the two Three-Eyed Race members, it was evident that they generally did not transform themselves into deities, as it would result in losing many things.
The Three-Eyed Race, blessed with psychic abilities, had developed an extremely advanced civilization and would not transform into something flawed.
Based on the data Qin Muye observed, the flaws in the deities had not been resolved. Perhaps the deities transformed from the Three-Eyed Race had managed to solve these flaws through the legacy of the Gendaya civilization and years of research, but the new generation of human deities certainly had not, and the God of Magic was a prime example.
"Completely resolving the flaws of the deities is highly unlikely," Qin Muye thought. While he did not underestimate the deities, the technology required was not easily perfected, though suppression measures existed.
For instance, deities like the God of Holy Light and the God of Fertility had been sitting on their thrones for countless years, enveloped in divine power, forming unique entities.
According to the information gathered by the spirits, the God of Holy Light appeared as a radiant human figure, emitting endless holy light, sitting motionless on his throne, and even his oracles were extremely brief, as if he was gradually becoming isolated.
Other powerful deities like the God of Fertility and the God of Power were in a similar state, akin to immortals who had become eternal stones, or more straightforwardly, servers maintaining the Cradle Plan.
On the contrary, the insane deities seemed to have broken free from their constraints, but they were still part of the Cradle Plan.
"Preparation, the Cradle Plan, the disappearance of a highly advanced civilization, and a society that no longer develops—what were the Three-Eyed Race of the Gendaya civilization trying to guard against?"
Previously, it might have been thought that the deities created a primitive and ignorant plane for the sake of ruling, but now it seemed that the deities' lives might not be as comfortable as those of mortals. Mortals could at least wander around, but the deities were eternally fixed to their thrones.
As for the artificial deities, they might live carefree lives, but they were essentially stable elements and processors maintained by the higher deities, confined within their divine realms, with their faith provided by these higher deities.
"This server should not be called the Pantheon but the Cradle Plan, everything serves this plan," Qin Muye shook his head and watched the insane God of Magic enter the Material Plane in a distorted manner.
"Faith State 13 has lost control; this is truly a terrible thing."
In the shadows under the Holy Light Throne, the giant shadow beneath the God of Holy Light muttered, having anticipated the possibility of a deity losing control when the divine realm experienced tremors and mutations. However, he had been stabilizing the divine realm and did not investigate further.
Now that he had finally completed the stabilization, he would begin further inspections of the Material Plane and all divine realms.
"I remember the primary region of Faith State 13's followers is the Duchy of White Frost. The priests who could influence him must be of high rank, even holding positions within the church."
"There are quite a few of them, but they should be cleared out soon."
"I never thought the first to lose control would be the God of Magic. Magic has long been extinct, just a mere illusion, relying on believers."
"Does this mean the believers were the first to encounter problems, resulting in the loss of control over Faith State 13?"
The giant shadow beneath the God of Holy Light continued to murmur, his mind filled with various intelligence reports.
Most of the faith states are also exhibiting similar signs of losing control, but the effects are not as pronounced.
"However, if the situation continues to worsen, the Cradle Plan might develop vulnerabilities, and they must be resolved quickly."
As he murmured, divine oracles were repeatedly broadcast.
"Heretics, Duchy of White Frost!"
"Heretics, Duchy of White Frost!"
At the same time, all divine envoys and priests of the Holy Light Church in the Material Plane received his divine oracles.
With the word of the deities, the once scattered church and nobility quickly rallied. In their education, the deities were always the supreme beings.
This was a deeply ingrained belief, passed down through generations. Devotion might vary, but reverence was absolute.
"May the matter be resolved smoothly," the shadow murmured again, the black head revealing a slightly hollow cavity on the forehead, resembling an eye socket.
