Chapter 392 -390-The Comprehension of Primordial Light
After a long wait, the High Priest finally spoke, his voice low and distant:
"Hmm, the second thing is even more repulsive. When the Second-generation Deities incited the rebellion of all races, their slogan was the equitable distribution of primordial spirit power, with every life form having the potential to become a deity. But once they obtained the primordial spirit power, they changed their minds and did not want to relinquish it."
Ethan felt a stir in his heart, finding this understandable.
After all, what is earned with one’s life is certainly first to be enjoyed.
"The Second-generation Deities also knew that if they hoarded the primordial spirit power, it would surely provoke dissatisfaction among all the races. Even within these races, over time, individuals might emerge who were like them. Just as they had hunted the First-generation Deities, they too could be hunted."
"So, the Second-generation Deity alliance decided to extract a sliver of primordial spirit power from their bodies, which is the Primordial Light. Placed in the universe, whoever is capable of acquiring the Primordial Light would obtain the key to becoming a deity. They used this method to divert the attention of all races."
"With the rise of the human race, occupying the living spaces of all races, amidst external troubles and internal strife, the other races could no longer become a threat."
Ethan understood and, stroking his chin, said:
"The First-generation Deities are the Elder Deities, and the Second-generation Deities are the Ancient Deities. The Ancient Deities, before becoming deities themselves, killed the Elder Deities and then became the Ancient Deities. The Ancient Deities used two strategies to stabilize all races and support the human race in suppressing them. Since then, the Ancient Deities could rest easy, suspended in the heavens as deities who look down upon all beings."
"Exactly."
"But why did the Ancient Deities decline?" This question lingered in Ethan’s mind.
