Mecha Era, Punch the Stars

Chapter 493 Gods
"I am naturally the earliest prehistoric creature. The reason why I am second only to many gods of magic is simply because I encountered an accident."

The giant said proudly:
"My symbiotic law, though neither the three major spacetime laws nor the three major origin laws, is still of considerable importance."

"How domineering and lofty is the emperor who tours the universe?"

"However, my laws were stolen from the Heavenly Emperor's laws, so I had no choice but to settle for second best and focus on cultivating the Heavenly King's laws."

The Heavenly Emperor's Laws were stolen?

Li Yi seemed to be thinking something and said:

"Then what kind of laws do Pluto, Neptune, and Gaia represent?"

The giant chuckled and said:
"Although this solar system is insignificant, it is one of the second batch of small star systems born with the universe, and it has also nurtured many powerful beings who are famous throughout the universe. The power of the laws contained in some planets, although not as strong as my laws, is not weak either."

Li Yi overlooked the giant's self-promotion.

He estimated that the celestial bodies within the solar system all contain considerable power of laws.

Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder there are so many ruins here.

Within the entire Silent Starfield, this small star system boasts such a high proportion of relics, with almost every planet and even its satellites containing relics.

The remaining star systems, in terms of the proportion of relics, are either located in the area of ​​the Tian Shu relics from the third era.

It could be the Stardust Corridor area of ​​the Fourth Era.

The others are much more scattered.

However, this makes sense. For example, the Stellar race has many relics on their main star, Changyang.

Other races also relied on various ancient ruins to develop rapidly.

For a race without relics, it is undoubtedly very difficult to obtain the ancient legacy by defeating other races on their own.

It is estimated that only in the first and second eras, when there were not many relics, was there an opportunity to overtake others.

Now, the more developed the divine civilization becomes, the more powerful individuals it has, and it is inseparable from this system.

Unless there is a truly catastrophic large-scale destruction that completely severes the divine civilization, it is estimated that a completely different civilization will be born.

Thinking of this, Li Yi asked curiously:

"So, are there no other prehistoric life forms in this solar system?"

"Of course there is."

The giant shook his head and said:
"However, they were all killed in succession in the past few eras. I am one of the three survivors of the ancient creatures of the solar system."

"The other two are Yang Shen, who shed his stellar shell and transcended the lost universe, and is the first holy god in the universe."

"Although he was born hundreds of millions of years later than the God of Year, he attained enlightenment much earlier."

"Although the God of Year was born at the level of a Dharma God, he has never been able to transcend it."

"His immense life force limited him."

"In the early stages of chaos, it was actually the Yang God who first discovered the method of transcendence and transcended the realm of the Dharma God."

"The second is Gaia, whose symbiotic law is the origin of infinite stars and infinite life, known as the Earth Mother Law. Therefore, she is also called Mother Goddess."

"She is the second holy being in the universe."

"After these two, in other star regions of the universe, four more holy gods and many magic gods were born one after another, together forging the infinite myths of prehistoric times."

"That is an ancient legend that could not be written down before the beginning of the divine age." "Because transcendence means completely erasing all traces from this universe, returning everything the universe has given you, and retaining only what is entirely your own."

"When their holy beings gradually transcended, the universe became incomplete."

"When the universe is incomplete, there are countless calamities, which is the calamity that the beings of your divine age often fear."

"With the outbreak of the first catastrophe, the prehistoric era was completely destroyed."

"From then on, your divine age replaced the ancient beings and became the mainstream of the lost universe."

“From the age of divinity onwards, not only is it difficult to attain sainthood, but it is also becoming increasingly difficult to attain the status of a divine being.”

When these anecdotes were mentioned, the giant's tone became melancholy without him realizing it.

The arrogance in his words gradually disappeared.

Li Yi asked in confusion:
"Then why do you specifically distinguish between the true God and the holy God? Is the true God who attained enlightenment in prehistoric times different from the true God of this era?"

The giant got excited and snorted:

"That's natural. We prehistoric beings were born with a status that you ant-like creatures could never reach in your entire lives. For us to become true gods is not only more difficult, but also stronger! Naturally, we are a cut above your true gods!"

"To call them holy gods is a consensus among us ancient beings."

Li Yi understood:
"In other words, when they attain Godhood, everyone in the universe will lose their memory of their existence, and all writing and records will disappear?"

"Indeed, their legends can only be preserved in the memory of those with powerful life forms."

The giant said:
"Only the truly strong can remember these strong people."

Li Yi nodded slightly:

"It seems that this is why people in the world today believe that true gods do not exist. However, the method you described is less a method of transcendence and more a means of stripping away, completely stripping oneself from the lost universe. Whether this can truly be called a true god is still unknown."

This questioning enraged the giant.

“I have personally witnessed the magnificent power of the Holy Spirit to change the universe with a single thought; how could it be false?”

Li Yidao:
"It's not that it's fake, but a true god who has attained enlightenment in this way probably cannot completely transcend. After all, there are bound to be larger worlds beyond this universe, aren't there?"

The giant was taken aback and said:

“That’s hard to say. After all, I have never seen the world beyond the universe either. But I have heard that among the beings of your divine age, there was a ruler-level powerhouse who explored the edge of the universe, but he was unlucky and perished. It can be seen that the world beyond the universe may be even more dangerous.”

Li Yi chuckled:
"Although you are stubborn, you have never denied this, which shows that you have also had doubts and explored the scenery beyond the universe."

The giant snorted and said arrogantly:
"How vast is my knowledge and experience, how profound is my wisdom! How could you ants possibly fathom it?"

"Alright, stop being so stubborn. Now I'm asking you, since two holy gods were born from the ancient prehistoric creatures nurtured within this solar system, why did the ancient creatures born on other planets perish so quickly? And why did you need to hide here for billions of years?"

Li Yi asked.

This question seemed to touch a sore spot for the giant, who instinctively became angry and wanted to refute it.

After a moment's hesitation, he sighed:
"It's very simple. It's because the earliest rulers at the end of the first era of divinity plotted against us and successively captured us in order to explore the mysteries of proving the Holy God."

"After all, there have been quite a few Gods of Law and even more rulers throughout the universe, but there have only been six Holy Gods from beginning to end, and the solar system accounts for two of them. Naturally, they want to see what mysteries this solar system holds."

Li Yi asked thoughtfully, "So, have they figured out this mystery?"
