Chapter 824 Sight of Arrogance (2/2)

As it spoke, the God of life turned, its white feet and silky long hair swaying in the Void like waves. It appeared to have resolved it doubt and was thus prepared to leave.

Coming and going as it wished? Was this place its courtyard?

Joshua would be the first to disagree.

The sudden appearance and questions from the God of Life, the interaction from out of nowhere had suddenly exposed much information.

”At the end of the Glorious Era, the Sage was thinking how to strengthen civilization? An Order that was different, better and stronger?”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

Two bright spots appeared in the gigantic silver star, so blinding that it appeared to be the eyes of a giant in the dark Void. The warrior's true form fixed his gaze upon the God of Life, terrible Steel Strength searing and sealing the Void around as he spoke quietly, ”The Multiverse Sacrificial Grounds… or perhaps the homework Yolanda mentioned?”

Joshua at once remembered the God of Love and Death who revealed much in their recent exchange… such as the being which she spoke of which might not have been the Sage, and the homework he assigned his student about civilization and Order.

Indeed, the homework could actually make one a god and establish an Order that belonged to themselves!

The God of life had spoken calmly, but with a tone that was not be ignored.

”What are the true identities of the Seven? Why do you have such intimate memories of the Sage and the Glorious Era?”

At present, Joshua could no longer stand the Seven Gods' enigmatic and secretive attitudes. Indeed, Yolanda's personal connection with the Sage might be private and the warrior had no reason to ask, but the Seven Gods were beings that protected Mycroft—their true identities should not be kept so secretively like it was now.

Were they former Apostles of the Sage? Or fallen ancient divine beings that did not utterly die, but were revive a thousand years later?

Perhaps, artificial deities directly created by the Sage?

There were so many possibilities Joshua could think of that they were about leak out. Today was the day he would get to the truth even if he had to fight these guardians of civilization!

Still, the God of Life's projected clone simply stepped out of the Steel Strength barrier as if it was Joshua's own power. The divine being was neither surprised nor angered by the warrior's seal, and simply stood unfettered beyond it, speaking softly again impassively, ”Simple-Minded One. Do not guess who we are, for even ourselves are uncertain.”

”We certainly have partial memories of the Glorious Era—partial, that is. There is no proof, however, and they proved paradoxical and clashing.”

At those words, the genderless God of Life that resembled a simple silhouette smiled mildly once again. ”Don't guess, don't think, don't imagine—you are moving towards a future we never had, so why should you look back, leering at privacies us old bones do not want others to know?”

”You're right. But if you really don't want others to know, you should never have left things halfway and keep me in suspense!”

Would Joshua be dissuaded with such mild words? He always hated bastards who deliberately left things unfinished and walked away!

Boundless radiance spread from the edge of the silver planet as if infernos, igniting the Void. Four massive spiraling arms like that of galaxies slowly formed around the star just like the hands of a giant god, embodying infinitely brutal devastation.

”Ah… Perhaps we would fight over the different Order we have chosen in future, but that is not today.”

The God of Life sighed at the sight, its hollow voice resounding in the Void. ”You should save your strength for the nightmares of Chaos… Simple-Minded One, do not be affected by divinity. What's more, you'd never stop me if I wish to leave.”

”Still. You'd never let it go if I say nothing, I believe? I'm aware you wish to use this to understand how you are different from the gods, and I incidentally could tell you certain related secrets.”

”The greatest mystery about 'True Gods'.”

In response, Joshua's massive spiral arms that were almost fully formed promptly stopped moving.

He also realized that, unwittingly, he appeared to be affected by his own divinity that was subjugated early on.

Recently, the warrior's development was so quick that the divinity that grew rapidly along as well, leading to another moment where his battle tendency was exposed like it had a moment ago despite having steadily subjugated his divinity before.

'In the end, the Seven Gods are allies… If they are willing to take a step back and reveal some hidden information, whatever…'

Holding in the carefree desire to at once fight the God of Life, the planet that was Joshua's true form dimmed as his humanoid clone stepped up, awaiting the deity's explanation of the 'True God's' ultimate secret.

”Simple-Minded One. Do you know what gods actually are?”

The God of Life began short and simply, asking a question that appeared simple, shallow and posed no challenge at all.

But as Joshua thought about it carefully, he realized he certainly could not define that concept. Neither could he find anything similar between the so-called doctrinal gods and these deities of Mycroft, the latter of whom did not require religion or a church, merely watching as the world cycles on as if idly.

Then, the God of Life no longer spoke in riddles. Linking Divine Power and Steel Strength, he exchanged information with Joshua rapidly.
