Chapter 456: Memories (2) (1/2)

With these memories that were ripped off from me coming in like a flood that couldn't be stopped, my mind became instantly filled up with what happened in my previous life or specifically, the events which transpired before my death.

Although most of my past life was a part of my memory packed with experiences and knowledge I accumulated during that time, that certain part of my life when I reached Divinity was the most highlighted.

In less than a few seconds, everything about that past life, from how I came to existence up to how I ended up crumbling into ashes after sacrificing every Transcendent and above on Earth to prevent the Level 4 Divine World from tracking this world.

Right. I sacrificed everyone living on Earth except my Companions and the Mortal Ranks not to launch a counterattack to that World but only to run away from it.

Moreover, I didn't just sacrifice those living on Earth.

That was because I judged that the Source Energy I would accumulate from all the Transcendents and Sages of the Earth wouldn't be enough to get out of the Level 4 Divine World's eyes.

To accumulate the necessary energy, every World connected to Earth, be it Mortal Worlds, Transcendent Worlds or even the allied Sage Worlds that were sufficiently weaker than Earth were all implicated with what I did.

I sacrificed all of them.

And naturally, it also included the World I created. The Dark World.

Ah. No. I didn't name it Dark World. I originally named it simply as the Spirit World or according to the UWS, the World #891417.

In truth, the name of the world actually depends on how the denizens of the said world called it.

However, a Created World will be registered through the organization that created the Universal World Standard, hence the number.

That's the reason why there was that point in the history of the Dark World wherein all of the Transcendents disappeared as well as the unavailability of the Door of Transcendence.

It was all because of me.

Worldy hibernated because I used most of that World's Source Energy. Not just that, I had taken every Transcendent existing in that world to boil and squeeze them into a specially made Energy Soup that would become part of the necessary Source Energy to enact my plan.

Now I understand why I had that Dark Persona. It was born out of my selfishness. No, it's not born from it. That's how I originally was.

For my own selfish reason, every world connected to Earth was sacrificed.

I had no time to hunt for other worlds after all so I used what's available to me at that time.

Thinking back, if I accepted that invitation, only Earth would be destroyed. However, because I didn't want my Companions to die along with the Earth, I dragged numerous worlds with me. Disregarding the fact that all of them had their own reasons to live.

As a Level 3 Sage World like Earth, it was both a Natural World and a Converging World. The divide was only happening when a Mortal World became a Transcendent World.

And that's how I got the necessary Source Energy to enact my desperately formulated plan on how to stop the destruction of the Earth.

Nonetheless, it still involved us dying once.

Except for the Dark World, each of those worlds I marked was seeped out of their denizens who reached the Transcendent Stage and above as well as the entirety of their Source Energy. Resulting in a lot of them turning into a barren world. If some of those worlds still survived, my previous self didn't check. Or I was already too occupied to enact the plan.

Because I got distracted and stopped at that point, everything would become for naught.

By exercising my strength as a Level 1 Divine, no one from every world I chose to sacrifice could stop me. Even if it's a Level 5 Sage. Just like the leap from a Mortal to Transcendent, the difference in strength upon leaping onto the next stage was always a difference between heaven and Earth.

Unless there were hundreds of Level 5 Sages, a Level 1 Divine is invincible.

The Mortal Ranks on Earth and Dark World were only spared for them to continue their ancestry so that when the time comes… the Earth and that Dark World wouldn't be barren.

If not for that, I would only choose to leave behind my Companions. That's how selfish I was.
