Chapter 874: Chapter 867: The God Who Was Created

"Does that mean she will continue to entice Luo’er to commit suicide in the future?" Tangmo’s eyes widened with horror as he asked.

"Theoretically, yes," Eve said, frowning, "but I don’t understand why Tana would want Luo’er dead."

"Could it be because Luo’er violated Tana’s will?" Cheng Ziang suggested a possibility.

"Maybe," Baiyue nodded, then looked around at everyone before saying coldly, "I’ve read some books related to the Elf Race’s beliefs. Tana has many doctrines, but the core principle is just one, which in our words would be called ’self-preservation.’"

"Self-preservation?" The crowd looked at each other, perplexed.

"Exactly, the literal meaning of self-preservation," Baiyue explained, "Specifically, it’s that Tana guides the Elf Race to remain conservative and isolated, not to intermingle or intermarry with other races, in order to maintain the purity of the Elf Race’s bloodline. At first, I thought this was just rhetoric from the rulers of the Elf Race to maintain stability, but now it seems that these rulers might indeed be executing Tana’s will."

"But the boss is from Earth, from headquarters. Tana’s control is too extensive. The boss is of mixed Elf heritage, not a pure Elf. What right does she have to demand the boss to execute her will?" Hu Daoke said, his brow furrowing in indignant protest.

"I think the key to the problem is probably related to the event when Luo’er was awakened. It’s precisely because Tana awakened Luo’er that she had the opportunity to interfere with Luo’er and coerce him into fulfilling her will," Cheng Ziang analyzed.

"But if she finds Luo’er displeasing, why doesn’t she just kill him directly? She’s a deity, isn’t she? Why use such confusing methods to induce Luo’er to commit suicide?" Tangmo asked, puzzled.

"Tana wouldn’t kill someone personally, or rather, she’s not qualified to kill," Eve explained, "Tana is a deity, and deities cannot kill. This is what the elders told me."

"Unable to kill, only to entice..." Hearing Eve’s words, Cheng Ziang fell into a long silence, not uttering a word for quite a while.

"Do you have something to say?" Luo’er noticed Cheng Ziang’s deeply furrowed brow and the troubled expression on his face, so he couldn’t help but ask.

"After all this discussion, how should we define Tana’s existence?" Cheng Ziang asked, his brow still furrowed.

"Existence?"

"That’s right. In what form does Tana actually exist?" Cheng Ziang asked seriously.

"What are you thinking?" Luo’er noted Cheng Ziang’s expression and sensed he had an idea.

"Do you all still remember the Deity Creation Project of the Ancient States?" Cheng Ziang asked.

"Of course, we found Xiao Fula there," Hu Daoke nodded as he spoke.

"Don’t call me Xiao Fula!" Fulajie’er suddenly popped up out of nowhere, hands on hips, and huffed in annoyance.

Seeing Fulajie’er appear, Cheng Ziang opened his hand, palm up. Fulajie’er hesitated for a moment, then obediently sat in his palm, but Cheng Ziang felt no weight, only sensing magic power rapidly flowing back and forth through his palm.

"In a sense, Fulajie’er is a deity, or should be considered a demigod," Cheng Ziang held Fulajie’er and said in a daze.

"So, are you suggesting that Tana might be composed in a similar way?" Luo’er asked, frowning.

"Do you remember the modern medical facilities at the Divine Wood Town Priest’s place?" Cheng Ziang did not answer Luo’er’s question but instead looked around at everyone as he asked.

"Oh, now that you mention it, those things do seem like something from Earth," Hu Daoke slapped his forehead and replied.

"Exactly, Ancestors’ technology. The machinery in Divine Wood Town might be the same as the deity-creating devices in the Creating God Plan, all belonging to the Ancestors’ technology," Cheng Ziang said.

"So that means the south generally uses the Ancestors’ technology..." Hu Daoke murmured, then, unable to contain his curiosity, he asked, "But what does this have to do with the boss being misled?"

"I’m just speculating," Cheng Ziang looked at everyone and said word by word, "I wonder if the so-called Tana that the Elf Race worships could be a god created by the Ancestors?"

"Do you have any evidence?" Baiyue asked seriously.

"Not yet, but Luo’er’s experiences always make me irresistibly think in that direction," Cheng Ziang answered truthfully.

"If Tana is the type of ’god’ from the Creating God Plan, then she should possess the power to destroy this world. A god like that would primarily be made up of programming magic components. I would say, as long as the magic power in Otherworld doesn’t dissipate, the god would never perish," Tangmo mused.

"If that’s the case, why doesn’t Tana simply rule the world instead of being the god of the Elf Race and yet unable to protect them?" Hu Daoke asked puzzledly.

"Maybe she can’t. There must be something constraining her, just like Xiao Fula’s soul is imprisoned by the crystal," Cheng Ziang said, frowning.

"You are also calling me Xiao Fula!" Fulajie’er said huffily.

"There’s another problem," Baiyue reminded everyone, looking at them, "If Tana can interfere in Luo’er’s dreams, causing him to sleepwalk towards death, then by all rights, she should also be able to interfere with all of our dreams or directly with our actions to prevent us from having the chance to save Luo’er. But why hasn’t she done so? Or is it that she just wanted to teach Luo’er a lesson?"

"A lesson? I don’t even know what I did wrong," Luo’er said, scratching his head.

Eve listened silently to everyone’s conversation as their topics got deeper and more complicated, challenging her own body of knowledge, until eventually she simply could not catch up with them anymore.

However, as soon as Baiyue mentioned this point, Eve immediately thought of an answer and couldn’t help but blurt out, "Tana won’t interfere with you guys, she is the god of the Elf Race, not the god of the world; she has her own principles."

"Principles?" Baiyue asked incredulously, looking at her.

"Yes, principles! Actually, I dislike your discussion about Tana, it’s filled with too much malice. Tana is the god of the Elf Race; she won’t guide or interfere with people of other races," Eve said earnestly.

"What do you mean filled with malice," Hu Daoke said dissatisfiedly, "So, her leading our boss to jump into the river is kind-hearted, but us criticizing her a few sentences is now malice?"

"Tana must have her reasons for what she did, I don’t believe she would harm a member of the Elf Race over some trivial matter. If she discriminated against half-bloods, then she should have harmed me as well," Eve said confidently.

"But you haven’t died, have you? According to what you said, you can’t establish a connection with Tana and receive her direct guidance, right?" Cheng Ziang pointed out sharply.

"Theoretically, that’s correct, but I still choose to believe Tana has no malice," Eve said.

"Ha," Tangmo laughed coldly and then held Luo’er tightly, looking at Eve with a hostile gaze, "So that means she’s treating our Luo’er as the bad guy, right? Let me find out where Tana is, and I definitely won’t let her off!"

"Xiao Fula, when Luo’er was in trouble, did you feel any strange presence? After all, if the theory is correct, you and Tana should both be considered gods,"

"I didn’t feel anything, Luo’er seemed enchanted, no matter how I called out to him in his mind, he just ignored me. I don’t know what happened," Fulajie’er said aggrievedly.

"What about you, Feng? Did you feel anything?" Cheng Ziang turned to ask.

"Nothing at all!" Feng said, shaking his head firmly.

"That means, Tana might not have a physical form, and only her consciousness remains in this world," Cheng Ziang said, analyzing with his head down.

"Clearly capable of destroying the world but strictly adhering to principles, clearly able to influence everyone but only targets the Elf Race. Principles... they seem to be very important to Tana. Since she has the power to destroy the world, then why doesn’t she break the rules and only do these limited things?" Baiyue murmured to herself.

After much contemplation, an idea gradually surfaced in her mind. Baiyue looked at everyone with a serious expression and said, "If all our assumptions just now are correct, then it’s very likely that Tana is not human."
