Chapter 106: 84 Gaia is the Primordial God (5000 major Chapters, subscribe request)

"Firstly, regarding our deity Gaia, She was born 4.6 billion years ago, on a planet named Earth."

"At first, Gaia was merely a nascent consciousness, unaware of who She was, where She came from, or where She was headed, just like all babies in swaddling clothes, knowing nothing about this world, simply observing her cradle with curiosity and interest."

"The newly born Gaia did not possess the formidable power of a deity; She even didn’t know what She could do, and every once in a while, She had to fall into a deep sleep to maintain her own will, with these periods of dormancy often lasting millions or even tens of millions of years. Therefore, She cherished the time She was awake even more, as it was the only way She could learn about the world."

"As the consciousness of a planet, Gaia naturally possessed methods to control energy, so throughout the planet’s lengthy evolution, She gradually understood and familiarized herself with her instincts. Then, with her eyes, She scanned every corner of the planet, trying to find a companion, after all... the evolution of a planet over hundreds of millions of years, even for an entity like Her, was an exceedingly long period of time."

"However, Gaia soon became disappointed, as She discovered there were no other beings like Herself; She seemed to be the only one."

"This revelation plunged Gaia into a prolonged period of depression. With no one to communicate with and boundless loneliness, She wasn’t sure of the purpose of her existence. Yet, occasionally, She would think that if She could become stronger, perhaps She could travel to faraway places in search of her kin. So after her period of gloom, She continued to try reading into energy, deepening her control over it."

"Suddenly one day, a wandering planet collided with Earth, creating a large amount of debris from their impact, which formed a ring of rocks around Earth and then, through accretion, the Moon was born."

Le Cheng picked up the scroll and paints that Anna brought, and while painting at another table, he didn’t keep his mouth idle either, enlightening everyone about Gaia’s origins and deeds.

And Le Cheng’s first words made everyone present show their utmost respect.

4.6 billion years!

Currently, the Empire could trace only up to 50,000 years of the history in this world, and much of it was still blank, because initially, the Dragon Clan was the one documenting and keeping the history of this planet. However, with the rise and fall of the Dark King, most precious historical materials were damaged and lost, impossible to study. Even the timeframe of 50,000 years was known only from the lone document of the Dragon Clan, from the peak of their era.

In fact, for the humans of this era, even a history of one or two thousand years could not be fully substantiated.

Thus, upon hearing the figure of 4.6 billion years, everyone instinctively straightened their backs, even Morgan pricked up his ears, listening intently, and the historian recording the events trembled with excitement, thrilled to capture this information.

[Our deity Gaia, born 4.6 billion years ago, magnificent, beyond words!]

"Compared to Earth, the Moon is a much younger planet, its size incomparable to Earth’s, but Gaia was extremely pleased with the birth of the Moon, because to Her, it represented an existence similar to the cradle beneath Her feet. She thought, since Earth could give birth to Herself, perhaps the Moon could also give birth to lunar consciousness?"

"So She tried countless times to call to the other, but never received any response, the tiny planet did not give rise to its own consciousness... thinking about it, it’s not surprising, after all, the Moon was formed from the debris shot out from Earth colliding with another planet. It was originally a part of Earth, so how could it possibly develop its own new consciousness? Ultimately, the Moon is merely an extension of Earth’s limbs."

"After confirming that the Moon could not bring her any companions, Gaia did not succumb to despair but suddenly thought, if Earth could extend out to form the Moon, then perhaps by splitting her own consciousness, could She also create more of her kind?"

"Of course, achieving this was not easy; at least the Gaia of that time did not possess that ability."

"Therefore, Gaia started to delve further into the secrets of energy, maybe for hundreds of millions, maybe for over a billion years, after countless failures, Gaia finally found a common point between souls and energy. She first created countless beings, then cut off a part of her consciousness, erasing those parts that held her own memories and cognition, split it into countless tiny souls, and stuffed them into the beings she had created."

"Gaia succeeded, for from that moment, this lonely and desolate planet finally gave birth to life for the first time."

"Of course, since Gaia had no reference before, the lives she created looked very strange, some were just blobs, some were like sticks, some just like sheets, and even many more were utterly irregular, but even so, Gaia loved them deeply, because She finally had beings to communicate with, and was no longer lonely."
