This Lich Requests More Remuneration

The origin of the Koutao Murloc Goddess has always been subject to various theories.

Some believe that this Koutao Murloc Goddess is indeed one of the primordial deities born in the depths of the sea at the beginning of chaos, and she belongs to one of the most ancient deities.

The greatness of the Koutao Murloc Goddess cannot be overstated, for She possesses ancient magic unknown even to the Magic Goddess, and should be among the most powerful of all gods.

This theory once circulated widely, and Amberser had seen several versions of it.

After all, these were the "self-proclaimed" statements of the Koutao Murloc Goddess, and the speech of deities is something mortals generally cannot disprove but instead take seriously and record as truth.

However, the author of the "Deep Sea Creature Atlas" spent a great deal of time studying various marine lifeforms and reached a completely opposite conclusion. The Kuotuo Murloc race appeared even later than mermaids, and in the myths passed down by other marine races, the great deeds boasted by the Koutao Murloc Goddess simply do not align.

Praising one’s own deity is quite normal, and occasional contradictions are not surprising.

But the contradictions among other deities are different. Most disputes in mythologies revolve around whose stance is wrong, who contributed more or less, and who won and lost.

For example, it’s widely varied in the Mortal Realm how the Orc Main God Gush was blinded in one eye by Elven God-King Corellon. Orcs say it was a sneaky elf attack—Corellon struck with a hidden arrow while they were still chatting and hadn’t even started the fight; Elves say Gush was shot in the face without even seeing Corellon coming.

But no matter how they argue, both Corellon and Gush exist, and no one would claim Gush was never there, nor would anyone think Corellon was hiding at home being an elf.
