Chapter 478: The Original Gods
"You aren’t making any sense," said Li Dai Lu, her head held high. "You aren’t trying to get out of your side of the deal, are you?"
"I wouldn’t dream of it," sighed Daddy, rolling his eyes. "Are you paying attention? I’m only going to say this once. The Originals were never born, nor created. They cannot die because they have always just been."
"That is the worst explanation I have ever heard," sneered Liu Yu Zeng. "And I’ve heard a lot of excuses. How can something just be?"
"There are six Originals," sneered Daddy and I could tell that he was getting to the end of his patience. "Creation and Destruction. Meet Destruction." Pointing to Eric, Daddy continued. "While Cain might have been born from Eve, the moment he decided to commit the first murder, he became one of the Originals. Destruction is..."
"Fun," purred Eric. "It’s why I can’t stay dead. I’m not reborn, I don’t transmigrate into another body... I look the exact same as I did as a kid. It’s kind of fun, really."
"You were born, that means you aren’t an Original," sneered Wang Chao. "Nice try though."
"The next pair is Chaos and Balance," continued Daddy, talking over Wang Chao. "Chaos was around before Creation was, but neither one were born. But everything in the universe needs balance, and that is where Hattie comes in. Even her wishes balance everything out. She had Chaos in her, but she also had order. She was never born; Chaos didn’t fuck a woman and Hattie came out as a result. She was created from the universe as a way of leveling out Chaos."
I kept my mouth shut since all of this was new to me. For a moment, I wondered how Daddy knew all of this when I didn’t, but then I figured out it was Daddy. He’s been around long enough to know everything.
"Death," said Liu Wei, his chin jutting out as he stared down Chang Xuefeng. "No one created Death."
