Don't call me evil god

Chapter 777 Mess

Resti's response was as timid as it could be, but his words were as tough as they could be.

"Although the direct cause is that the gods could no longer hold on, I must clarify with you that I am not running away. We are trying to find a way to protect ourselves!"

"In the mortal dimension, mortals can fight monsters on equal terms with our power. As long as we are well prepared, most of the monsters that emerge from the dimensional rifts connecting to the void can be destroyed in time, and they won't cause much damage."

"That's just a mortal's perspective!"

"The pollution accumulation problem we face is still unsolvable. The so-called balance of power is actually a slow death to the gods."

"If you don't find a way to protect yourself, the best outcome is that you will die. The greater probability is that you will lose your mind and be assimilated and contaminated by the void and become an evil god, just like what you saw before."

Nowen raised his eyebrows and asked questions one after another:
"Why are you the only one running away?"

"If you run away, what will happen to those mortals who believe in you?"

"Without believers and authority, can you still be considered a god?"

Resti explained helplessly:
"It's not that I'm the only one running away, but... everyone is waiting to see me run away, ugh! See the result of my attempt to protect myself before making a decision!"

"The best way would be to find the Creator and ask Him to create a group of powerful and pure gods to replace us. This way, we can destroy our own positions and escape."

"But the Creator disappeared long ago, and no one knows where He went."

"So we can only settle for the next best thing and try other methods."

"Because I hold the power of illusions. When it becomes a god-level power, it should have a subtle possibility."

"By casting an extremely powerful illusion spell, we can create the illusion that the gods still exist!"

"In this way, mortals can still obtain the corresponding divine arts by praying to the illusion of the god."

"It's just that these divine arts are preset in advance by the divine illusions and cannot be changed or adjusted."

"But wouldn't it be possible for me to get away with it, give up my power, and no longer have to worry about the accumulation of pollution?"

"At the last meeting of the gods before I put this plan into practice, everyone unanimously decided to first see the results of my attempt and see if this path is feasible."

Nowen's heart skipped a beat.

This sounded very familiar to him!

"The illusion that the gods still exist", "the divine magic that has been preset in advance", "can no longer be changed or adjusted".

These characteristics seem to correspond to the "gods" of the New Huili era!
Doesn't that mean that the gods of the olden days could also escape and save their lives in a similar way?
"So you succeeded? You managed to survive until now?" Norman confirmed immediately.

Resti replied in frustration: "No, it didn't."

"Although I successfully completed the steps of giving up my authority and leaving the throne, unfortunately, the illusion that I remained on the throne also dissipated at that moment."

"I used my magic to create an illusion, but the plan failed."

"I escaped, but the goddess of illusion fell with me."

"This road is dead."

"Before the gods could come up with other solutions, the devil's backstab came, and then there was a grand and tragic end for the gods."

"The Fall also caused me severe damage, so much so that I had to fall into a long sleep during the Dark Ages to recover. Until... you know, I woke up again recently, but the world has changed a lot."

Norman understood.

It turns out that the gods of the old times might have wanted to follow the example of their predecessors, those ancient gods, and run away when they couldn't hold on any longer.

However, their moral bottom line is relatively high. Before the deadline, they did not abandon the mortals directly, but tried their best to find a way to have the best of both worlds, to protect themselves and the mortals they protect.

You may only choose to run away when you really have no other options.

But while they were still thinking of ideas and trying various methods, the "backstab from the devil" became the most critical unexpected event.

The gods didn't even have time to run away, as they were all stabbed to death on their thrones by the devil's backs, and some even degenerated into new evil gods!
Thinking of his identity as an evil god, Nowen fell silent.

It seems that his predecessor might have been one of the ones backstabbed by the devil, and might have been an extremely powerful one. So after his fall from evil, he was also the most evil and chaotic among the evil gods.

……

After sorting out the entire process from "Genesis" to the present, and adding some reasonable guesses in the middle, Nowen felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

He now has only one thought:
"This world is a huge fucking mess!"

“It’s all rotten!”

Originally, I just wanted to let the believers explore the depths of the dark dungeon and get more believers for myself.

As a result, a message from the magic goddess allowed Nowen to piece together the complete timeline and he unearthed some shocking news!
"Even gods can run away with buckets!"

It begins with the Creator.

After the first batch of the most powerful ancient gods realized that something was wrong, they were able to deal with it a little, such as creating their own "successors", that is, the old gods.

Then they would probably abandon the mortals and run away.

The second group of gods gritted their teeth and endured the invasion of the void for nearly a thousand years, but found that they could not bear it anymore. They immediately wanted to copy the methods of their predecessors and follow the old path to create another group of successors.

It turns out that it’s all over. I’m not capable enough to find a successor!

They were still desperately looking for other solutions.

One of the "predecessors", the devils trained by the Devil Lord delivered a precise backstab.

So they all died suddenly.

Not to mention the third batch of gods.

After the chaotic and disordered Dark Ages, mortals found ways to create a group of "false gods" to believe in, gain power through them, and restore order to the world.

In essence, the problem remains unsolved!
Even worse!

Because of the Dark Ages, a period in which all gods were destroyed, order collapsed, and the world fell, traitors began to appear among mortals who believed in evil gods and turned to the void!
For example, that group of lunatics who believe in the "Supreme Truth" and that dangerous female gray dwarf messenger!
From Nowen's current perspective, the doomsday theory they preached might actually have some truth to it.

If the gods and mortals of this world cannot solve the pollution problem caused by the invasion of the void, the next end of the gods is only a matter of time.

Once the world falls into a doomsday environment like the Dark Ages again, the traitors who surrender early may indeed be able to thrive in that environment.

in the end.

Nowen was extremely frustrated to find that:
"So, this world now has to rely on an evil god like me to save it?"

"Because I'm the answer to the void pollution problem?!"

"When all mortals believe in a sober evil god, will the world not end in collapse?"

"Don't call me the evil god anymore! Just call me the savior!"
