Chapter 1020: Chapter 8: All Roads Lead to the Same Destination? (Part 2)

"Don’t worry, I just have a sliver of consciousness left..." Gu Mo’s eyes flickered slightly, perceiving the causes and consequences as he gently sighed, feeling a slight headache, wanting to extend his index finger to rub his brow, but unable to succeed.

"But following this, I suppose I’ll completely fall asleep..."

He murmured with a sigh.

"..."

"..."

"Why is this happening..."

Amilia tightly clenched her fists, her body trembling as she murmured, feeling at a loss and watching everything unfold. The helplessness was unbearable; she didn’t even know what the other was experiencing, nor was there an enemy to defeat to resolve the issue.

"I overlooked a problem... Once Gods transcend their own mythology, they become Defiant Gods."

Gu Mo gently pressed his forehead and softly spoke.

Ever since he arrived in this world, he replaced many roles directly from the levels of existence and identity, strolling casually in the Human Realm, perfectly fulfilling the definition of Defiant Gods. Creating one’s form as the God of Calamity according to personal preference, a God unbound by mythology...

—Just by descending into the world would bring a great impact.

If the Sun God descended, the entire world would be engulfed in flames...

If the God of War descended, endless conflicts and turmoil would erupt...

If the God of the Underworld descended, plagues would spread to every corner, turning the world into a desolate planet...

Indulging primal instincts to cause havoc or relying on frenzied divinity to wreak chaos on earth—these are the actions Defiant Gods would take. This is dictated by the nature of divinity, akin to the "directionality" of things upon creation, defining the "meaning" of an existence being that existence.

Thus, even with self-awareness, it’s impossible to resist this existential directionality.

Just as the existence of flame is to burn, to burn continuously—

Because if it ceases to burn, flame ceases to exist.

It’s akin to Zeus in the Greek Anomaly Zone, integrating all Divine Authority, inevitably influenced by primordial Chaos; akin to the black final God in the Indian Anomaly Zone, after devouring all divine spirits, the original personality is smeared, almost becoming a mechanical deity... merely perpetuating the concept of world’s endless cycles.

The original Gu Mo, relying on incredibly strong spirit, could resist various directionality within full-divinity, thereby maintaining self-transcendence.

However, in this world, the essence of mythology is assigned special significance, and the nature of divinity, divine format, and more have undergone subtle changes and evolution... along with his own relentless pursuit of the Third Magic, promoting the soul’s elevation—

Perfectly aligning with the omnipotent soul’s full-divinity...

Even Arjuna would need to invoke the treasure that mimics Destruction Calamity to unleash creation’s annihilation cycles...

Yet Gu Mo unknowingly fell asleep, dragging the entire world into dreams, where everything is born from dreams and perishes upon waking...

"Interesting, perhaps this is fate..."

He marveled, regaining sight of Parallel Worlds through anchoring to the Holy Grail, observing finite and infinite forming a line, seeing cause and effect simultaneously on a static time plane, thus understanding the current situation more intuitively.

He denied his original fate, but... seems to embark on the homeward journey in another form.

As if destined to a single outcome from the beginning, no matter how developments unfold, merely represent variations in process.

In any case, the results seem always to converge...

This made him feel a profound apprehension toward the system for the first time.

As the speech of marvel ended, a gentle nighttime breeze blew by, his existence vanished entirely from the world, as if he had never been.

"..."

"..."

Deathly silence.

Silence as deep as death.

"What is Brahma Heaven...?"

After pausing semi-long, tightly clenching her fists, Amilia deeply breathed several times, forcing herself to calm down, swiftly turning to ask. She tried hard to think, feeling as though she’d heard the name, but hadn’t detailed understanding.

However, hearing Mr. Gu Mo and Miss Erica’s dialogue just now, it seems this is key!

No, not seems! It’s absolutely key!

His sleep and awakening...

"..."

"..."

Another brief silence.

Erica’s mind went blank, without thinking why the other actually didn’t know this, instinctively began to explain, her voice murmured: "Brahma Heaven... is the Creator in Hindu mythology, one of the Trinity..."

—"Brahma." 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

—The creator of the Vedas mythology.

—Philosophical abstraction "ultimate reality" or "cosmic spirit."

In Hindu mythology, a human year is a Celestial God’s day and night; Celestial God’s four thousand years is an "Age of Completion," three thousand years a "Three-part Era," two thousand years a "Two-part Era," one thousand years a "Era of Strife."

Representing four Yugas; creation, dwelling, destruction, and emptiness cycles.

And the four Yugas constitute a "Great Yuga," which is 4.32 billion years. One thousand repetitious Great Yugas equivalent to Brahma’s day... naturally, two thousand Great Yugas combined amount to Brahma’s day and night.

—When He is awake, the world ceases to exist;

—But when He sleeps, the world begins active...

This highest spirit only awakens in primordial and final moments, eternally birthing and annihilating through waking and sleeping.

"Logically speaking, such an existence should not appear..."

Erica murmured: "Like Odin, Zeus, or Nuada, Mercator, these Dynasty of Kings, Fathers of Gods, ancient world’s kings with magnified authority already hit the limits, those All-Powerful Gods can’t appear..."

Boom—!!

At that moment, the atmosphere shook, it seemed a massive hydrogen bomb exploded unexpectedly somewhere.

Erica staggered, returning to consciousness, looking in a certain direction in astonishment.

Everyone felt an indescribable tremendous oppression from afar.

...

...

"Earth Mother Goddess?!"

Staring blankly at the golden urn, Athena stood up suddenly, her expression subtly changing, unable to disguise the shock in her eyes.

"How could such intensity exist? Could it be... Great Mother?!"

She sensed a particularly familiar divinity, seemingly of her kin, Earth Mother Goddess’s alike... however, the aura was unbelievably powerful, far surpassing her past prime many times over, like a primitive world descending!!

Through divine resonance linkages, thoughts scattered following Earth’s perception, Goddess glimpsed in bewilderment—

That which, within Imaginary Space, slowly surfaced the Sea of Mother to reality’s world...

Mother’s womb cast aside post-creation.

The forsaken "Sea of Mother."

In the current world line, it finally exposed the corresponding crisis.

Those thoughts scattered from God’s dreams, the ideas within dreamscape became their source, these concepts initially shouldn’t exist henceforth birthed.
