Arad's unruly savior

Chapter 3905 The First Second of Eternity

people!
A race whose physical form is close to that of gods.

The Time Lord spoke with a majestic voice, drastically reducing the lifespan of this race, preventing them from sharing in eternal glory.

The goddess of wisdom, Nimmel, declared that her wisdom's light was obscured, its operation dimmed, and her creativity reduced to a mere firefly's glow.

The elemental goddess Pushia mobilized her power, confining "humans" to the earth for their entire lives, leaving them only to gaze at the vastness of the starry sky.

"Hiat" is now completely immersed in her past self, memories flooding the forefront of her mind, as if everything is happening right now.

She modified the race of "humans" according to the advice of the gods, placing it in the original state of creation, seemingly forgetting the long river of time flowing on and countless civilizations rising and falling.

In the second moment of the beginning, in order to give the great power of the gods a sacred meaning and to distinguish between the divine and the mortal, they unanimously decided to create a new world, a new future, where there would be voices praising the gods in the universe, and their glory and veneration would last forever.

The initial outlines of all things gradually took shape amidst the majesty of the gods, acquiring their most primordial form. Some sentences were imbued with the majesty of light, while others vanished into chaos...

As the possessor of the power of life, "Hiat" will play the most important role in the creation of all things.

In the very third moment of the beginning, a great will emerged from the depths of the universe, its aura awe-inspiring, its power overwhelming all gods, and its dominion above all else. Each step it took seemed to carry the weight of countless ages.

He is now in His most complete form from the beginning, His body shrouded in infinitely bright light, His appearance is indistinguishable, His gender is indistinguishable, and Behind Him shines a huge ring of creation. With each inch of its rotation, the laws of creation bloom, as if the creation of heaven and earth were being created.

All the gods are arrayed beneath His radiance, standing at the very top of the original universe. Each sacred form is radiant and immortal, illuminating the magnificent universe, as if proclaiming the definition of "eternity".

At that moment, "Siat" suddenly felt a noticeable discomfort. Some unfamiliar fragments of memory flashed through her mind, stimulating a rare pain. There was a certain cognition that could not be changed, yet was changed nonetheless.

"The great will in this state cannot exist. I am merely returning, not truly rewinding time."

Soon, "Hiat" had an epiphany and realized that she understood the reason for recognizing pain: that light and darkness were one, and that a great and perfect will existed in the primordial era, even more distant and ancient than the ancient Terran technological civilization.

Long before Terra possessed intelligent races, the Great Will stripped away a portion of the "Dark Side" and sealed it deep within the planet Terra.

In that "future" that has already arrived, the great will Caloso and the dark side's main will Celia have each achieved the status of creation, and it is no longer possible to restore the state of unity between time and darkness in the primordial era. They have become blurred in the long river of time, and therefore cannot manifest their former forms at this moment.

The great will in this state is naturally also a creator being, but most of His power was inherited by Carloso, and He no longer has the power to manifest His form, His power, and His most complete and divine appearance in the long river of time.

In the forbidden realm, even the most powerful beings can be resurrected through a memory or a trace. However, almost all the traces and memories belonging to the original one have been inherited by Carloso, and the river of time cannot reproduce that ancient moment.

"Hiat" suddenly felt a little terrified. Carloso was naturally the great will of the original universe. No god had ever doubted His identity. The three words of His name had an extraordinary meaning and possessed incredible power.

However, the great will of the future is not entirely the same as the infinitely radiant great being before us.

Moreover, the great will of the future had shattered both its physical form and will, and it was only through the full power of the goddess of wisdom, Nimère, that it was able to be revived.

In a sense, the great will of the future is an inheritance of the destiny of the past.

"To put it more dramatically, Carlosso is actually Nimère's will, hahaha..."

“I finally understand. When Ye Lin said that he took Venus away, only the Ring of Creation appeared, trying to summon Venus to the end of the world. The great will of Caloso did not appear. At that time, he understood that Caloso was plotting something and had no time to pay attention to the three moments. He only released the broken ring that had been mostly repaired.”

"It may not be so now, because Carlos cannot fully represent the great will at the beginning of creation. He is incomplete, lacking the part of the apostles and Celia."

“Even if He returns to the three moments, He cannot perfectly fit into His past form. Although it will not directly affect Him, it will amplify His flaws and imperfections compared to the past.”

"In comparison, the Ring of Creation is less important."

“It’s not that He doesn’t have time to come, but that He’s not willing to come. Celia is probably in the same state. She could come back, but there’s no need for her to.”

Numerous thoughts flashed through the air in an instant. At the end of the third moment, the gods had made up their minds and contributed their great power. Streams of power and laws shone in the deep space of the universe. That was the power of the gods, which amazed the past and present, spread to every corner, and in the beginning of the river of time, built the basic outline of all things and the corresponding rules and order, weaving a magnificent future.

After countless races existed, the first near-divine race with intelligence was born on earth. It embodied the will of the gods and resembled them in appearance. The gods were overjoyed and admired their creation all day long.

For the first time, the power of destiny underwent a tremendous evolution, transforming from a dozen sparse threads into a dense, intricate web of stars. The "destiny" it outlined connected the lives of every "existent" being, flowing alongside the river of time. This invisible power astonished the gods.

They also have "threads" on them, but these threads are like a recurring Möbius strip, encircling them endlessly within their predetermined course.

The complete and great will has grasped the power of destiny. At the beginning of creation, the Lord of all things, no one is more compatible with Him.

Furthermore, since the gods believed that the evolution of planetary plates and biological species often proceeds slowly over hundreds of millions of years, the lifespan of the first humans was as long as millions of years.

However, perhaps because the gods focused too much on the will of "praising the gods" when they created them, this race can only speak related words. Apart from that, their speech is incoherent, and they cannot even understand the meaning of the words they praise. They praise all day long, like a heartless repeating machine.

What meaning does it have for God to be praised by a relentless, uncritical machine?

Not even a million years had passed before this race was destroyed by the gods.

“The limits of their wisdom should be relaxed slightly,” a deity suggested.

A second near-divine race was born. They possessed a rich language, yet they still maintained an extremely close relationship with the gods, but still could not achieve the sense of accomplishment that the gods desired.

"It's not enough. I can't feel any genuine piety. Should we grant them complete freedom of thought?"

Some deities disagree, believing that free will is a key characteristic of God.

"Moreover, although they are far weaker than us in terms of lifespan and strength, they are still extremely outstanding, maintaining a vigorous state until death, seemingly glorious until their last breath."

"They should be given old age, disease, and hunger in the course of their lives, so that they may struggle for survival, thus demonstrating the omnipotence and immortality of the gods." After a series of experiments, the goddess of wisdom, Nimère, decided to further loosen the restrictions on wisdom. Thus, the third, more perfect near-divine race was born, which was later destroyed by the gods themselves. It was the first civilization that wanted to define all things, including the gods, with the power of writing.

"It still needs to be revised; the idea of ​​completely opening up the wisdom seems to be a mistake."

"If the measure of wisdom is difficult to be precise, then let's make up for it in other ways."

As a result, the attributes of the near-god race were drastically reduced once again. First, their lifespan was reduced to only one millionth of what it used to be, and this short lifespan was filled with hunger, old age, disease, war, and threats from other races.

Moreover, human offspring require the mother's utmost effort to be born, and after birth, they must receive care from adults to survive.

Compared to other races, humans are not physically superior.

The power of destiny surged once again, causing the gods to be instantly terrified and erupt with terrifying fluctuations, for they vaguely saw the threads of destiny upon themselves, and they were completely different from before.

The original line was an eternally looping Möbius strip, endlessly cycling within a finite space. Now, the "ring" has been broken, originating from within itself, with the other end extending "infinitely" into the future, its end unclear and its destiny incomprehensible.

"The power of destiny has severed our cycle!"

"We have more possibilities, but it seems we have lost eternity; the essence of time is no longer within our sight."

"Are there more possibilities, or is it a predetermined ending we can't see?"

"Fate, even we who are eternal, have fate."

The gods asked the Great Will for an answer, but received no reply.

…………

"Hiat" gradually awakens from the three moments of the beginning, no longer immersed in her own past self, and cuts ties with the past. She clearly knows that she has come from the future.

Due to the unique nature of the Great Will Caloso and the original Complete Great Will, the former would not descend unless necessary. Therefore, the most worrying problem did not occur, and the three moments passed almost peacefully.

Am I really me?

"Hiat" suddenly asked herself, her eyes momentarily lost in thought. This was a sign of her impending return and recovery; her deepest memories were still of Hiat herself.

"It's time for me to come back..."

"But before that, I want to take another look at the human race, which has been cursed by the gods..."

The third creation of "humanity" occurred after the First Civilization was destroyed by the combined forces of the gods, leaving only one god among the remaining beings.

The First Civilization defined the universe and all things using the earliest written language, thus gaining incredible power. Before being cursed by the gods, they possessed the gods' favor towards near-god races. The one who became a god was like the convergence of the fortune of an era, and it was only natural that he became a god.

After the first civilization, the near-god races suffered a severe blow.

The gods once believed that the near-divine race, possessing so many curses, would spend their limited lives worshipping the immortality of the gods and lamenting their own insignificance, like fireflies and the blazing sun.

No matter how excellent a near-divine race may be, it will be extinguished like a candle when the sun rises.

However, that is not the case!
The future achievements of the near-divine race far exceeded the gods' expectations. If the first civilization could be explained by chance, allowing them to define all things with the wisdom of writing, write down symbols, and obtain some kind of primordial power in the universe.

So, the near-divine races that followed the first civilization, regardless of which planet they were on, were able to create magnificent civilizations from the earth and craft incredible miracles with their own hands.

"How can a near-divine race with limited lifespans change a world that is so vast compared to theirs?" Some deities questioned whether it was Nimmel's favoritism that helped humanity awaken revelation.

"It is me, and yet it is not me; it is memory, growth, and inherited knowledge." The goddess of wisdom, Nimr, gave it high praise, saying:
"To live out one's short life to the fullest and leave one's achievements to future generations is how humanity grows and evolves repeatedly. It's truly remarkable."

The elemental goddess Pushia said:

"If you put a grain of sand on flat ground every day, eventually a mountain will take shape."

The gods remained silent for a long time, deep in thought, as if they had tacitly accepted humanity's achievements and would no longer concern themselves with or curse them.

It is said that humanity's worship of the primordial forces and concepts of nature, such as the sun, moon, sea, life, and war, is actually the traces of worship left by the gods in the primordial era.

A jewel shimmered between "Hiat's" brows, emitting strange sounds, and her power of destiny showed signs of shattering and being reshaped. She whispered:
"I don't know why, but I should go back."

…………

Legend has it that there is a diamond mountain in the world. It takes an hour to climb it and another hour to go around it. Every hundred years, a bird will fly over, sharpen its beak at the top of the diamond mountain, and then immediately spread its wings and fly far away. Every hundred years, a bird will come and sharpen its beak until the entire diamond mountain is completely smoothed out. Only then will the first second of eternity have passed.

…………

"Hiat" recalls that the three moments in the beginning were really just fleeting moments in the ordinary mind's perception, or were countless years silently flowing through them?

Because the gods are immortal and indestructible, they describe those three stages as three moments.

…………

Arad Continent, Huttonmar.

"Do you think Ye Lin did something to offend Miss? Or what's going on? He's not showing affection to everyone lately." Xiao Yu quietly pointed upstairs, her pretty face showing obvious confusion, and a little...envy.
