I'll kill you after I finish this game!

"[Due to the extraordinary mass of the Overlord God, in order to properly govern the Infinite World, the Divine Pillars need the Root Auxiliary Device called 'Seat'. 'Seat' takes the place of the Infinite World in bearing the Overlord God's high-dimensional mass and rapidly spreads the Divine Principle to the Infinite World. Thus, a new world was born, accompanied by the anointing of the Overlord God's will and the Principle."]

"【However, the time that the Overlord God rules over the Infinite World of Mortals is not eternal. After the birth of the first Divine Pillar, the Overlord God will continue to be born in every era of divine rule.】"

"【The principle of desire to cover all things in the universe can, in principle, exist only on one pillar in the same era. Therefore, when a new god, known as the candidate god, is born, he will inevitably bear the destiny of challenging the god on the 'seat'. In order to become the true pillar of god who governs all things and to let his own principle of desire cover the infinite universe, he must defeat the god who currently governs the world and seize the 'seat'.】"

This time, a special device for gods called "Seat" appeared again. Everyone present, whether heroic spirits or people of this world, whether they believed or not, became interested in this special myth.

Because of its extraordinary mass, the appearance of the Overlord God would have a devastating impact on the world, hence the need for that so-called "seat".

The [Seat] bears the extraordinary mass of the domineering god in place of the infinite world, helping the god on the [Seat] to spread the principles of his wishes, so that a new world can be born according to the god's will.

Everyone found this myth very interesting, and even the heroic spirits like Ying Zheng and Ishtar showed expressions of great interest.

Listening to this mythological template, in their understanding, that "seat" could also be called a divine throne.

What's more interesting is that the mural says that the rule of the gods is not permanent and will change like dynasties on earth.

After the domineering god ascended the throne, he created a new world according to his own wishes. However, new domineering gods will still be born in the new world.

This was something that Qin Shi Huang, the human emperor, found very interesting and fascinating.

He knew that in every dynasty, there would be people dissatisfied with the current one, and his Great Qin was no exception.

The myths depicted in the murals also involve the changing of the gods.

The great sage Chiron, however, didn't think much of it. It's true that the gods in Greek mythology change hands; Zeus overthrew his father to gain power, and his father overthrew his grandfather to gain power. It's a tradition in mythological families.

However, Shana's subsequent interpretation dispelled their similar thoughts.

"[Because of this inevitable factor, whenever a new domineering god pillar is created, the existing domineering god and the new domineering god will repeatedly fight each other for supremacy. The defeated side will be destroyed, the old world will perish with the gods, and the new god will ascend to create a new world... This is the drama of the alternation of gods.]"

"[This battle between gods has nothing to do with the will of the two overbearing gods. As long as multiple overbearing gods exist, they will be forced to kill each other, even if they are brothers, lovers, relatives, or friends. There can't be two tigers on one mountain, and two gods cannot coexist in one realm. Overbearing gods cannot coexist on a fundamental level.]"

"If we compare the principles of the Overlord God to a single color, then the myriad phenomena of the universe can only accept one color. However, when multiple colors appear and collide, chaos ensues, and an uncontrollable killing intent arises in the heart of the Overlord God, making them uncontrollably want to eliminate all other Overlord Gods except themselves."

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a sense of predetermined cruelty, and their eyes lost their frivolousness.

They thought the struggle between gods was like the conflict between people, but they were wrong. The human way cannot be applied to gods.

Overbearing gods cannot coexist or be compatible with each other. Whenever more than one of them appears, they will force each other to fight.

Regardless of personal will, beliefs, emotions, etc., as long as you are also a domineering god, then we are destined to fight each other until life and death are decided.

The murals also depict this point: even if we are brothers, lovers, or relatives, as long as we are all domineering gods, then we must decide who lives and who dies.

"...What kind of rule is this? It's unrelated to will or thoughts; as long as they are both overlord gods, they must be decided to live or die!?"

Ishtar's face showed indignation, and she scratched her hair in frustration, indicating that she did not understand this violent rule at all.

It's normal for gods to fight, but to force a fight to the death without any will or thought is just too brutal and outrageous.

"Is that so? I think it's acceptable. The domineering divine pillars described in the murals used their own desires to change the world, and everyone's desires are different."

Although Ying Zheng was initially surprised, recalling the previous description, he readily accepted this cruel and domineering divine rule. Facing the slightly puzzled gazes of the crowd, he explained in a cool voice:

"These gods transform their desires into extremely domineering rules of the Dao. Just like the name used to describe them, they are domineering gods. The rules of the Dao formed by their desires are naturally extremely domineering. It is normal for the rules of two dominators to be incompatible. It would be the most abnormal thing if they could be compatible."

Yes, if they are both overlords, they are unlikely to get along well when they meet.

These gods, just like their name suggests, are terrifying deities who transform the word "tyrant" into "the Way".

How can such a terrifying set of rules of dominance and righteousness be compatible with another completely different kind of dominance and righteousness?

"Moreover, they are assimilating the world with their own [Dao], transforming it into a new world. If one god desires a righteous and awe-inspiring world, while another god desires a world where one can do whatever one wants, it is normal for chaos to occur when two completely different desires transform the world together."

Chiron, the great sage of the centaurs, also shared his thoughts after some deliberation. He then raised his left hand, pointing to his right, and gave an example to illustrate his point:

"When heaven and earth assimilate with oneself, the world can be likened to a part of the body of a god. And the tyrannical gods will clash with each other because of their different desires, just like blood flowing backward in the human body."

Chiron understood very quickly, explaining in just a few words why the battle between the Overlord Gods was mandatory.

If you compare the universe to a part of your own body, and there's a second entity inside you trying to stop your heart from beating, reverse the flow of blood, absorb carbon dioxide and expel oxygen, then anyone would want to kill the source of all this.

Even with such a clear explanation, the struggle between gods remains brutal, because it means that the domineering gods have no other choice but to fight and kill each other.

If one of them were to defeat the gods present, it would signify the destruction of the current world, followed by the ascension of a new god and the birth of a new world.

With this ironclad rule in place, no one can sit on that throne forever; sooner or later, they will all be defeated by the newly formed divine pillars, destroying the current divinely ruled world.

In the subsequent description, Shana also interpreted the Overlord God as an eternal and unchanging concept. As long as he is not killed by other gods, he will be immortal.

As mentioned above, the domineering gods are destined to fight each other, and the replacement of the gods on their thrones is inevitable.

Each of the deities present can represent a different world.

The mural in front of us depicts this kind of divine world, and is a general term for the story of people fighting around the throne.

The strongest being will become a god, creating a new universe with their ideals.

The story unfolds as a drama of divine succession, in which those dissatisfied with this world overthrow the existing gods and become new ones.

As the interpretation progressed, Tsuchimikado Ryusui also woke up. She glanced at the mural that Shana had previously interpreted with a complicated expression. She remained silent about the thoughts of those around her, not intending to tell them the authenticity of the mural.

"These are quite interesting mythological murals. I never expected that this despicable cult would even have a new creationism and come up with such a wonderful story."

As one of the thirteen strategic-level magicians, Sirius, Angelina Shields did not believe in these superstitious things. She only knew that this order was undoubtedly an enemy of mankind and a cult.

They created those demon-slaying things to harm all of humanity, and they even fabricated these things to deceive others.

"......"

Shiba Tatsuya glanced at the silent people and heroic spirits around him, then looked at the murals, but did not offer any opinion.

He wasn't completely disbelieving, after all, what he experienced at Yazhong Academy was quite magical, and he even witnessed those heroic spirits from myths and legends.

He wasn't sure if the cult was using the mural to intimidate people.

"Let's go, there are no more clues to search here."

Tsuchimikado Ryūsui's tone and eyes changed, becoming somewhat complicated.

Sensing the lingering scents of their nighttime journey, she urged everyone to follow her and leave, telling them not to act alone.

Lei Di and Charlie frowned when they saw Long Shui's appearance. After exchanging glances, the old man Yu shook his head, indicating that he should not interfere.

Asking won't help. Unless someone related to a person's past life intervenes, no matter what outsiders do, they can't help the savior with matters concerning past and present lives.

Regardless of whether the people present believed in the mural, everyone continued forward with Tsuchimikado Ryusui.

Passing through this magnificent hall adorned with mythological murals, they followed the dragon's water into an area they thought would become smaller.

However, the further they went, the more solemn and sacred the scenery became.

As the group followed Longshui down the stone staircase, it suddenly became pitch black, and light only appeared when they reached the next level.

However, what made everyone present frown and feel uncomfortable was that this place was more like a gigantic temple than the previous halls.

Furthermore, the buildings and decorations here are so brightly colored that they are almost blinding.

"Why is this place built like this?"

Arashiro Satsuki, who was standing next to Haimura Moroha, rubbed her eyes. Seeing the bright and dazzling colors in front of her after being in the dark made her eyes extremely uncomfortable.

Moreover, the architectural and decorative style here is very strange; it can only be described as 'two opposing halves'.

The hall before everyone was divided into red and white colors at the very center, with no gaps between them whatsoever.

Staying here causes a loss of balance. Not to mention that normal people cannot stay here for long, even these special people with great power feel uncomfortable.

They all sensed that this place was extraordinary and could not have been built by a normal person.

As they walked and observed, they discovered that there were murals carved on the walls, but no text.

Here, more striking and captivating than the murals is the colossal statue placed in the very center of the space.

The statue's overall design appears to be modeled after a Buddha statue; its appearance is extremely exquisite and imbued with a spiritual quality... no, it's not so much spirituality, it seems to be...

Upon closer inspection, and observing the statue seated there like a Buddha, everyone present shared the same thought.

This strange statue is a statue of a god!

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Idols, God's Name, True Self, God's Creation of Heaven and Earth, Dualism of Good and Evil

This vast temple space is very strange, not only in its special architectural structure, but also in the mystique of the space as a whole.

Everything in sight is binary opposition: up and down, left and right, red and white, even the murals on the walls are like this, everything is in opposition.

The statue standing at the very center exudes a divine aura, instantly conjuring up images of divinity in anyone who sees it for the first time.

However, among the crowd, one of the heroic spirits was not only surprised by the simple structure of this place, but also felt a sense of familiarity.

Countless viewers also perked up. The people in the video didn't know the reason for this strange space and the statue standing in the center, but they knew it very well.

Curiosity filled the hearts of all the viewers, because this space and the statue were things that none of them had ever seen before.

Excluding gods like Mary and Skadi who still exist today, this statue is very likely the seat of a deity from previous generations.

The audience only learned from the conversation between Mercury Serpent and Razer that there were three divine eras before the return of the fourth day of eternal doom.

The unfamiliar female deity statue in the video may be an ancient god, a domineering god who once ascended the throne.

However, most people in this temple are unaware of the truth.

"...binary opposition?"

Arash, a warrior of Manuchir, a great hero in ancient Persian legend and hailed as the last king of the Age of Gods in West Asia, immediately made a connection when he looked at this strange place.

That's right, it's the dualism of Zoroastrianism. Zoroastrianism is generally considered to be monotheistic in theology and dualistic in philosophy.

Arash, a great hero from ancient Persia, was naturally familiar with this.

"This place was indeed built according to the dualistic model."

The great sage Chiron nodded in affirmation of Arash's words, stating that the structure here was built according to dualism.

After all, the concept of dualism was proposed relatively late, but the view of dualism has existed since ancient Greece, with Plato being a typical representative.

After hearing the words of the two heroic spirits, everyone present suddenly realized that this place was built according to dualism, which explained why so many scenes depicted opposition.

This clearly refers to religious dualism. Everyone present has studied Earth's history, and religious dualists believe that the world is ruled by two forces: good and evil.

Goodness is spirit; it is the soul, and it is everything created by the power of goodness.

Evil is matter; it is the physical body and everything created by the power of evil.
