Chapter 186 Red Sea Egg

While Roy spoke, Lilith did not ask any questions and only listened quietly.

After Roy finished narrating, she was silent for a long time before suddenly asking, “Did you say that Void power can not only corrupt titan world-souls but also the so-called gods? Is that right?”

“Yes!” Roy was stunned for a bit before nodding

“In that case, it seems that His Majesty Samael’s concerns are right!” Lilith propped up her body. “Not only him, but even Heaven has noticed…”

“Huh? What do you mean?” Lilith’s earlier words did not match her latter words, and Roy did not understand for a moment.

Lilith got down from the bed and walked back and forth around her bedchamber. “The main world of this world is Earth, but I’m certain that this planet hasn’t given birth to a titan world-soul. But as you’ve also seen, Corruption… or Void power has also eroded this world. In many alternate spaces, scenes like the Black Stone being devoured have appeared. Since Void power doesn’t have a titan world-soul to corrupt here, it might corrupt those gods…”

A thought popped into Roy’s mind. “You mean the Charred Council?”

“Yes, the Charred Council!” Lilith nodded approvingly. “You’re indeed very smart. I’m talking about the Charred Council!

“You should have been summoned here from the Abyss during the End War, so you might not know the origin of the Charred Council!” Lilith continued. “In fact, after discovering this world, angels and demons have been fighting each other for this world because it is very suitable to develop into a new Heaven territory or Abyss territory. At that time, the Charred Council had yet to exist. This endless war has lasted for a long time, for millions of years. In this war, countless angels and demons have died in this world.

“Gradually, a group of angels and demons began to feel tired of this life of war because many of them had not been able to return to Heaven or the Abyss and had been staying in this world to fight unceasingly. Even angels and demons were about to go crazy with this kind of life! Therefore, they privately joined forces and established the Charred Council. They claimed that the Charred Council obtained the oracle of the Creator and used it to formulate a code of laws, hoping to end the endless war between angels and demons… At that time, the members of the Charred Council only elected two seats, and an angel and a demon each occupied one. Moreover, the angel and demon were very powerful and not weaker than demon kings.”

“You know that councils are very difficult to reach a consensus on many issues if there are multiple seats. Therefore, when the Charred Council was established, it had no deterrence to angels and demons, and it often fell into a chaos of opinions… So at that time, neither Heaven nor Hell paid attention to the Charred Council’s orders and completely treated them as idiots and clowns.

“However, the turning point appeared when humanity was born in the main world!” Lilith sank into her memories and said in deep thought, “I don’t know if the Charred Council really obtained the Creator’s oracle, but ever since it accepted the human with the most wisdom and power among the primitive humans as a member of the council, the seats of the council became three, and the power of the Charred Council rapidly grew! The combat strength of its army soared, and it began to fight the angels and demons on equal footing, making the angels and demons have no choice but to face this force head-on. At the same time, it also tried its best to protect the still fragile humans, declaring that humans were also an important part of the balance of the world.

“Out of curiosity, I started researching humans!” Lilith said. “I have to say that humans are indeed a very miraculous species. Precisely because of this research, I discovered that humans could actually fuse with the bloodlines of angel and demon at the same time. The nephilim were born at that time…

“But an accident happened afterward. I discovered that the nephilim I created were actually failures. They were tyrannical, violent, and bloodthirsty. Maybe it was because the angel and demon bloodlines in their bloodlines failed to reach a balance, and they were more inclined toward the demon side! The nephilim did not have a large population, and they only reproduced for two generations before being recruited by the Charred Council! This is the origin of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. I believe you’ve heard it.”

Roy and Julia nodded and did not interrupt Lilith.

“After obtaining the allegiance of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the Charred Council became even more unstoppable. At that time, the Charred Council had already begun to proclaim itself as the spokesperson and manager of the Creator in this world, with authority like gods. They began forcefully intervening in the war between angels and demons and ordered us to stop fighting. All those who oppose them were buried under the iron hooves of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. “The truce agreement was finally reached. Although both angels and demons were unwilling, considering that the war had indeed gone on for too long, they ultimately agreed to the truce!” Lilith said. “This is the origin of the seven seals that are spread among the various ancient races.”

Roy nodded, finally understanding the entire history of the Charred Council. Lilith concluded, “This truce lasted for thousands of years, giving humanity a chance to recuperate and develop into what it is today. Similarly, as time passed, the status of the Charred Council became higher and higher. It’s possible to say that they are the gods of this world!”

Seeing Lilith’s speech come to an end, Roy finally found an opportunity to interrupt and ask, “So, you think that while Void power is eroding this world, it’s also incubating in these so-called gods of the Charred Council?”

Lilith nodded. “Yes, no one understands more about incubation than demons. It’s nothing more than continuously enlarging the darkness in the depths of intelligent life and pushing it toward a dangerous extreme. This is something that many demons can do. The difference is that demons might not be as powerful as the Void Lords you mentioned, and they can’t bestow such power onto the corrupted. The Charred Council has been in a superior position for the past thousands of years. It has made demands of all the races, and no one can resist its will. Perhaps it’s because of this burgeoning mentality that we’ve found that the Charred Council’s methods have become more and more extreme in recent years. Although it says that it’s maintaining the balance, it’s more like it’s maintaining its ruling position many times… Therefore, we have reason to suspect that it has been corrupted…”
