He understood what Cassandra meant in her prophetic poems:
[Saving the world is also destroying it.]
Chapter 311 The Gods' Purpose
The gods in the world of DanMachi are not absolutely 'omniscient and omnipotent'.
...Ling Shu already had a clear idea of this viewpoint in his mind.
After all, many things that have happened in the past have more or less corroborated this idea.
First of all, the so-called "strongest arrow in the heavens," the "smite of the gods" launched by Artemis, actually only had the power of "exploding a star."
If it could truly achieve 'omniscience and omnipotence', it would at least be able to 'destroy galaxies', if not destroy the multiverse.
But Artemis couldn't do it.
Since it has already stated that it "cannot do it", there is no need to bring up the "God paradox" to refute it. This is enough to prove that it is not truly "omnipotent".
As for the 'omniscience' aspect...
The skill "God's Grace" of Cassandra Illion, the "Pessimist's Princess of a Tragic World," cannot be analyzed.
Not to mention, a large number of Ling Shu's skills are accompanied by "unresolved" and garbled text.
In short...
"As it stands, the gods here are completely baffled whenever the power of 'time' is involved."
That's what Ling Shu thinks.
Let's take Cassandra as an example again.
Her precognitive dream ability was described in English by the original author on Earth as 'Five Dimension Troia'.
The literal translation is: The Fifth Dimension Troy.
This should be considered the true name of the skill.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this skill can have the effect of 'predicting the future'.
Because it is essentially a kind of 'high-dimensional observation' capability.
These... are beyond the reach of the gods.
Now, Ling Shu has awakened an even more terrifying 'time travel' ability.
Fortunately, only Seele (Frigga) knows about this news at the moment.
otherwise……
"Those guys in the Celestial Realm must be going crazy."
Seele couldn't help but sigh.
Standing in the arena stands, she turned to look at Ling Shu, "Brother Ling Shu, do you know why we (the gods) love... even favor this place (the mortal realm) so much?"
"..."
Ling Shu was unaware of this.
Because of this, he had never heard the original author mention anything about it before he transmigrated.
but now……
"In fact, we (the gods) do not know how we (the gods) were born."
Seele (Frigga) rested her hands on the edge of the stands and said with a sigh, "Every god is like this. Suddenly, when they come to their senses, they find that they already exist."
"None of us (the gods) witnessed the moment of the birth of the other gods. We only understood what we were in charge of when we knew that we 'already existed'."
"Moreover, we (the gods) are not capable of going back to the past; in our view, that is already 'beyond the realm of the gods'."
Ling Shu now understands why Seele called his 'spiritual transfer' ability 'forbidden'.
The latter continued speaking:
"There was a time in the past when we (the gods) were searching for the truth of the 'past'."
"But then, we discovered this world (the lower realm)."
"The humans here, though still made of flesh and blood, look exactly like us (the gods)."
Ling Shu had heard some historical records about the origins of the various intelligent races in the lower realm.
It was through those ancient, preserved records that he learned that orcs, dwarves, elves, parums (little people), Amazons... and even fairies were all races 'created by God'.
Human beings, however, have never been mentioned in any texts as a race created by God.
Sudden……
"!"
Ling Shu recalled a trivial matter that he had almost forgotten.
I remember when he used the 'Trinity' skill to transform into the strongest Valkyrie, at the moment his side defeated 'Scorpio (Scobbin),' that ancient monster said in an cryptic tone:
"%¥#@……This is the decision of 'God'……@#¥%"
"%¥#@……This is our world……@#¥%"
"%¥#@……You are the plunderers……@#¥%"
At that time, Scobian, whose life was nearing its end, launched the nascent 'Smite' with boundless hatred.
That hatred was very real.
At the time, Ling Shu had absolutely no idea about the details of the matter.
He doesn't really care about these things.
However, because he now lives within this lower realm, he took action to eliminate the ancient monster that attempted to destroy it.
That's it.
But now it seems...
“The dungeon is essentially a ‘favorites’ and a ‘database’.”
“It contains records of all the ‘works (templates)’ that we (the gods) have ever created.”
Seele (Frigga) reveals some secrets that are obviously not to be told to outsiders.
"In fact, we (the gods) have found and created many other 'worlds' (planets) similar to this lower realm."
"Even this place was originally just an entertainment venue, a world specifically designed for 'monsters' to live in."
Ling Shu can understand.
Is it similar to raising a virtual pet?
"However, even we (the gods) did not expect that, in some year, 'human beings' would appear."
"They are such a weak race, yet they are so similar to us (the gods)."
"The most regrettable thing is that... this place was left unused by us (the gods) for a long time, and we still haven't been able to witness the moment when the 'human' race was born."
"They (humans) have existed without us even realizing it."
"After that, we (the gods) made a decision..."
Seele looked at Ling Shu, “We (the gods) need to observe and see if there is any possibility for ‘humans’ to ‘become us (gods)’.”
"If this example occurs, it would at least suggest that we (the gods) may have been 'human' before."
"Therefore, starting thousands of years ago, we (the gods) began to pay attention to this world again, carefully maintaining the environment here, not interfering too much with human development, while trying our best to protect them from extinction."
"Create elves, dwarves, orcs, Palum, Amazons... and so on and so forth."
"This was the initial approach."
"After that, the birth of the Immortal Spirit (the demigod) and the arrival of the 'Age of Heroes' came.
"But those methods were not very effective."
"Finally, a thousand years ago, we (the gods) decided to imitate you (humans) and live with you (humans) forever."
"After all, the most effective way is to immerse yourself in this place and observe all the changes at the closest distance."
Ling Shu understood.
The fundamental meaning of this world (the lower realm) is that the gods are searching for their origin.
So, he has two points of doubt.
First, according to legend, the gods are all 'personifications of certain phenomena or concepts'.
So, what is the connection between this clue and their origin?
Furthermore...
"After a human dies, doesn't the soul return to heaven and be reincarnated?"
Ling Shu was puzzled. "Since humans are not a race created by gods, why are they still integrated into the laws governing the celestial realm?"
Tonight, having suddenly stumbled upon a great deal of ancient secrets, he has had his thirst for knowledge aroused by Seele.
I just want to find out the truth of everything as much as possible.
Chapter 312 The Enemy is Here!
Regarding the idea that 'the gods want to find their own origins by observing the future of humanity over a long period of time and at close range,' Ling Shu had many doubts in his mind, but upon careful consideration, he could still come up with many overly sensitive conjectures.
For example, the reason why human souls are reincarnated by integrating into the laws of the heavens... and even the reason why 'humans' were born might be exactly the same as the reason for the emergence of 'heretics'.
It's important to understand that the appearance of heretics... that is, 'intelligent monsters', is because the 'monster souls' inside the dungeon have been reincarnated countless times, and after a long period of time, they have undergone mutations.
If the concept of 'mutation' is positive, then it also corresponds to another adjective—evolution!
Ling Shu is a young man from the Celestial Empire who traveled from Earth, so he naturally knows what 'evolution' is.
Evolution is essentially a process of racial optimization resulting from repeated mutations.
So……
