Chapter 329: Chapter 286: When the Creator Made Everything

Lipo was startled by the voice and quickly turned his head, staring at the mortal soul who had broken the vase.

"What’s wrong?"

Lipo asked.

The mortal soul looked nervous, fumbling his hands together, seemingly at a loss for words.

At that moment, a servant-looking mortal stepped forward and knelt on both knees.

He apologized to Lipo in a most respectful manner, then confessed their act of breaking the vase to Hiris, regretting what they had done.

"You may step back for now, clean up this mess, and do not disturb us."

Hiris said, waving his hand grandly. He did not punish anyone but merely asked them to leave temporarily.

Lipo knew his friend was always lenient; this small incident did not evoke any emotion in him. He did not ponder further and continued to talk with Hiris about everything he had seen.

"Lipo, did you say that the witch calls the divine being she serves ’Lord’?"

At that point, Hiris spoke.

Lipo nodded without hesitation; he had already made it clear earlier, and now it was time for Hiris to address his confusion.

"Law..."

Hiris murmured, as if pondering something.

"Do you have any thoughts, Hiris?"

Seeing this, Lipo pressed him.

"Lipo, to my knowledge, in the distant history, so distant that many gods cannot remember, there indeed was a divine being called ’Lord’."

Hiris narrated the ancient history in his deep voice to Lipo, the Forest God.

"My friend, do you remember? I desired to create a race of my own. I longed to see my race enjoy forging just as I do, wielding hammers on the earth and, relying on my grace, crafting all manner of wonderful items."

Lipo nodded slightly; if he remembered correctly, Hiris had even asked him about the father of the gods at that time.

At this, something suddenly caught Lipo’s attention, causing him to pause slightly.

"Wait, Hiris, are you saying—?"

Lipo’s astonished expression did not surprise Hiris in the slightest.

"Lipo, I think you’ve guessed what I’m about to say?

Yes, in the ancient times, when only the people of Logos roamed the earth, when those elves established an early civilization on the land, our Father was called ’Lord’ by them..."

Hiris’s deep voice leisurely unveiled a piece of the long-buried ancient history, clearly only the tip of the historical iceberg.

"Could it be that the witch serves our Father?!"

Tumultuous waves rose in Lipo’s heart, those waves, like a canopy, violently shook his spirit.

The origin of the gods, the mysterious, never-before-seen father of all gods, that witch actually served Him...

Could that witch be His envoy?

What shocked Lipo even more was that the witch had mentioned His Holy Realm and His Law would soon descend upon the earth.

Thinking of this, Lipo dared not delve deeper... but still couldn’t help himself.

If so, the existing order would be thoroughly overturned.

What kind of stormy changes would this world experience?

The law of the father of all gods... was it meant to completely destroy this world, or...

"Hiris, I can’t imagine, I can’t imagine."

Lipo repeated the phrase over and over, too overwhelmed with emotion.

In Hiris’s heart, the excitement was no less intense than Lipo’s, but for opposite reasons.

Lipo’s excitement stemmed from a fear of the unknown, whereas Hiris was filled with anticipation.

In the past, under the guidance of Prophet Noen, Hiris had come to know about the Father of Gods.

At this moment, Forest God Lipo said in a trembling voice:

"Hiris, do you know the Primordial Will? Even if you didn’t experience that great war, you must remember it...

The Primordial Will was so mysterious; only on the day of destruction did we finally see what it truly was, and during that battle, both the Country of Divines and this world nearly shattered and ceased to exist.

The Father of Gods, to me, is as mysterious and unfathomable as the Primordial Will. If His Law and Kingdom descend, I do not know what He would bring us, Hiris!"

Fear and panic filled Lipo’s voice. For him, everything in the Country of Divines was so orderly, the days of the Golden Age were so splendid, as long as the Covenant of Gods wasn’t violated, the Gods could freely write their own Chapters upon the earth.

In Lipo’s view, the beauty currently enjoyed was great and worthy of remembrance.

If everything were to be overturned, Lipo dared not imagine what would happen.

Hiris looked at Lipo before him, in his eyes, the craftsman beheld a deep fear, much like the fear he himself had felt previously for the Father of Gods.

"Lipo, neither you nor I need to fear," Hiris said softly, his somewhat composed voice causing great confusion for Lipo.

"Why would you say that?"

Lipo paused, then pressed on:

"Do you know something? In your eyes, I see no fear.

Do you understand Him?"

Hiris, listening to Lipo’s questioning, truly wished he could share everything he knew with his friend, this sincere mountain God of craftsmen.

At the same time, Hiris was also aware that he could not be reckless, after all, the Father of Gods was a somewhat taboo subject within the Celestial Kingdom.

Hiris chose to stay in the Netherworld for two reasons: one was to minimize contact with other Divines to prevent them from knowing about his exploration of ancient history; the other was to reach out and protect those True Believers brought to the Netherworld by the Death God Nakbet.

Those servants in the mansion were the True Believers Hiris protected.

After considering, Hiris slowly said:

"Lipo, I want to ask you,"

"When the Lord created everything, where were we?"

Hiris’s words instantly stunned Lipo.

Lipo was not unfamiliar with the legends about the Father of Gods, he knew this supreme Divine, the origin of all Gods, had existed before the creation of heaven and earth, and had created everything they knew now.

In that instant, Forest God felt an indescribable suffocation and powerlessness. On ordinary days, he was worshipped by the people of Libog and revered by countless hunters worldwide. Each day, tens of thousands of prayers were offered to his divine statue, and they repeatedly offered their most precious offerings in prayer.

Almost every Divine felt a pride in being a Divine.

Forest God Lipo was no exception.

But this question... It seemed to have a strange magic power, making it incredibly difficult for Lipo to face, let alone answer.

Hiris’s question ruthlessly exposed a hidden truth.

When the Lord created everything...

Where were we then?
