The Growth of a God

Chapter 162 The Curse of Heaven and Man (23)

[The true God you are looking for has long been dead. The God you are looking for no longer exists here. ]

The voice was frank and helpless, and the two "eyes", one blue and one red, spoke almost simultaneously.

As they said, the ancient god had long since died, and what remained here were only some of his remains after his death.

This is true for the Totem of the Vertical Eyed God, and the entire Void Temple...

But the ancient god is too powerful.

Even billions of years after death, one can still maintain one's world for a long time without falling into the [Sinking Zone].

[Zongmu Shen... is already dead? 】

Although he had guessed it a long time ago, when Li Hao heard the answer, he still couldn't hide his shock.

Before coming here, Li Hao had thought of countless answers to the question of how the Long-Eyed God King could place totems throughout the heavens and worlds.

After seeing the Void Temple, Li Hao also thought that the Vertical-Eyed God might have survived in some way, just like Zhulong and Quetzalcoatl.

After all, the world has not yet fallen into the [Sinking Zone], so how could the true God hiding there die?
However, the two "eyes", one red and one blue, broke all of Li Hao's guesses.

【What on earth happened here? 】

From the perspective of [Hunting Fish], one can clearly see hesitation in the two "eyes".

However, this brief hesitation was ultimately unable to overcome his desire to survive.

With the two "eyes" describing in unison, Li Hao gradually figured out what was happening to the Vertical-Eyed God.

......................................................................................................

Just as the Faceless Man said, the Long-Eyed God is an ancient god who was born before the Heavenly Father Haojun.

His true name and proper title have long been forgotten.

The only thing the gods remembered were the two eyes that took up almost half of the face.

Therefore, the name "Zongmu God", which has more symbolic meaning than substantive meaning, gradually became his nickname.

Although gods are not necessarily more powerful the older they are.

But the fact that he was able to survive one catastrophe after another among the gods is enough to prove that the Long-Eyed God is not unworthy of his reputation.

Unfortunately, after experiencing countless storms and witnessing the rise of seven "Heavenly Fathers", Zongmu Shen eventually capsized in the gutter.

During a catastrophe among the gods, the God of Vertical Eyes was almost knocked down to the dimension of life and perished completely.

Even so, the Zongmu God fell into a long silence, and no one knew where he had gone.

In fact, during the time when Zongmu Shen disappeared, he was actually fighting against "death".

Because in that catastrophe among the gods, the God of Vertical Eyes relied on his own powerful strength to struggle back from the brink of death.

However, he was also cursed with a strange curse - the Five Deteriorations of Heaven and Man!
This curse came from a peculiar civilization - the Celestials. They called the "Gods" of their own world Celestials.

However, unlike the worship of gods in general civilizations, all living beings in this world believe that "God" is not high above them.

As long as there is an opportunity, even the lowest ant can possess the power of "God" through practice.

The only difference is that the innate god transcends the world and has the responsibility to maintain the operation of the world.

However, those celestial beings who have obtained divine power through spiritual practice can transfer their own responsibilities and roam freely between heaven and earth.

——Only enjoy the power, not take responsibility.

Zongmu Shen had no intention of judging whether this behavior was good or bad.

He only knew that those celestial beings had indeed thoroughly studied the essence of gods.

The curse caused the gods to decline and fall into the dimension of life, and finally into the tomb of the gods from which they could never climb out. Zongmu Shen tried every possible way, but he still couldn't get rid of this strange curse.

Not only that, as the life of the Longitudinal-Eyed God declined, the world he lived in began to be generally infected by diseases.

This is the truly terrifying thing about the Five Deteriorations of Heavenly Beings!

In order to completely kill the gods, this terrible curse will spread throughout the world where the gods exist.

Once a god really falls from the dimension of life, the entire world will be buried with him until he completely falls into the [Sinking Zone].

As a last resort, Zongmu Shen chose to merge himself with the world in order to save himself.

This formed the Void Temple that Li Hao saw today.

However, this method of drinking poison to quench thirst did not really save the life of the Zongmu God.

On the contrary, the curse of the five decays of the celestial beings infected every living being in the world where the God of Vertical Eyes merged with the world.

Until the moment before his death, Zongmu Shen was still struggling to survive.

Those long-eyed god totems that constantly appear in the heavens and all worlds are a means for Him to survive.

As long as there is a totem that can get rid of the curse of the five decays of heaven and man, the God of Vertical Eyes can live again and come back again.

So has His ultimate purpose been achieved?

In a sense, Zongmu Shen was indeed successful.

But from a realistic point of view, Zongmu Shen undoubtedly failed.

Those totems that inherited His will, although in the process of assimilation with various strange creatures and even non-living things in the heavens and worlds, possessed various special abilities.

However, none of these totem incarnations can escape the curse of the five decays and the fate of death.

Death after death, oblivion after oblivion, decline after decline...

Even if a few powerful totem incarnations return to the Void Temple, they can only become "Old Gods" like those unspeakable things.

The will of the Long-Eyed God completely disappeared from the moment of His death.

The remaining "Old Gods" are merely beings born from His corpses, a group of indescribable creatures that are like gods but not gods.

Due to their own defects, these "Old Gods" cannot even embark on the path to godhood like ordinary creatures and become a complete god again.

From then on, Li Hao, who learned all the truth, finally figured out everything that happened on Earth.

I don’t know if he really forgot everything or was deliberately deceiving He Jiali…

The totem of the vertical-eyed god possessed by the puppet set its sights on the little girl and induced her to find its true form.

As a result, at the last moment, the curse of the Five Decays of Heaven took effect, causing the vertical-eyed god totem to forget everything and be reborn as a little boy, A'ge.

[That is to say, every time you die, you will become weaker...]

[Only in this Void Temple can you barely retain your past memories.]

[Until one day, this Void Temple completely falls into the 'Sinking Zone', and you will all die completely.]

In response to Li Hao's soul-searching question, the two "eyes", one blue and one red, suddenly fell silent.

[In that case, are you interested in taking a gamble? ]

[I don't know how to remove the curse of the Five Decays of Heaven, but I may be able to temporarily free you from this cage called the 'Temple of the Void'.]

[After all, you told me all this, didn't you just want me to help you? ]
