Chapter 538: Chapter 523: The Truth of the Evil God

After the initial shock, Li Cunxu fell into deep thought again.

He looked at the Fertile Divine Deer once more with confusion. Why was it babbling such earth-shattering secrets to him like the “Eating God” and the “sixth Divine King”?

Moreover, he was still in a state of rage from being forcibly contracted.

Could it be that the Deer intended to use these grand secrets to quell his anger?

The Fertile Divine Deer then revealed another horrifying secret.

“Do you know why the Divine Beast World is frequently visited by Evil Gods?”

Li Cunxu frowned and said, “Is the Divine Beast World special? Does it have something the Evil Gods want?”

With a mocking look in its eyes, the Fertile Divine Deer did not directly provide the answer but instead spoke of the world’s hidden mechanisms.

“Wrong, the Divine Beast World is not special to the Evil Gods. In the eyes of the Evil Gods, it is no different from any other world.

Did you know? Every world has hidden mechanisms, just like how weak creatures evolve protective colors or mimicry to avoid powerful predators (for example: chameleons, stick insects, leaf butterflies)…

Worlds inherently hide themselves to avoid being targeted by predators in the void (such as Evil Gods, Demon Gods…), especially a world like the Divine Beast World that has existed for countless ages.”

Could it be a problem with the hidden mechanism of the Divine Beast World? Li Cunxu looked at the mocking expression on the Fertile Divine Deer’s face and felt that things were not so simple.

Could it be… This conjecture can’t be possible, right?

The Fertile Divine Deer’s amber, mysterious eyes stared into Li Cunxu’s eyes as if they could see through his soul.

“You are good at thinking and have guessed part of the truth.”

Li Cunxu was startled. If it could truly see through hearts, wouldn’t his thoughts be as exposed as if he were naked? What about the elder president’s warning?

Suddenly, Li Cunxu set aside his worries about the elder president’s warning when the Fertile Divine Deer did not take issue.

It seemed the elder president’s methods had successfully hidden the truth from the Fertile Divine Deer.

The Fertile Divine Deer calmly revealed another startling secret.

“You guessed correctly. The Evil Gods were deliberately lured by the world will loosening the world’s hidden mechanisms.

This includes the four gods that almost led to the extinction of the human race, also lured by the world will.”

Li Cunxu’s pupils suddenly dilated, shocked by this revelation.

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility, horrified:

“Did the world will let the Evil Gods in to eat… eat them?”

“You are really smart.”

The Fertile Divine Deer looked at Li Cunxu with eyes full of admiration, as if seeing the perfect Guardian.

The elder president’s image lingered deep in Li Cunxu’s heart, his eyes looking faintly at the Fertile Divine Deer.

As the foremost human, why was he so utterly despairing?

It was because he discovered this secret.

The true culprit behind the catastrophic event that reduced the human race’s population to one percent was the world will.

The human race, which he had desperately tried to protect, was nothing more than bait luring the Evil Gods for the world will.

The Evil Gods needed the pure souls of intelligent beings, and the world will used this to lure them.

In the Age of Dragons, it used the pure souls of dragons to lure them.

In the Age of Giants, it used the pure souls of giants to lure them.

In the Age of Humans, it used the pure souls of humans to lure them.

In reality, humans were even more unfortunate than dragons and giants.

The world will discovered that the Outer Evil Gods were particularly fond of human souls. Even though human souls did not have the quality of dragon or giant souls, they were abundant and satisfying.

Moreover, the widely practiced Beast Taming Dao in the Divine Beast World was also a conspiracy of the world will.

Beast Masters primarily cultivated Spiritual Power, which is closely tied to the spirit and soul. As the spirit improves, the soul slightly enhances as well.

The stronger the soul, the more the Evil Gods favored it.

Because with a stronger soul, creatures could provide more and higher quality belief power.

Because with a stronger soul, creatures could be converted into stronger Evil God’s Creatures.

Because with a stronger soul, Evil Gods gained more upon consumption.

The most malicious aspect of the Beast Taming Dao was that the Beast Master’s soul was the main course, and the pet beast’s soul was a side dish.

Feedback—when the pet beast becomes stronger, it gives one percent back to the Beast Master, and when the Beast Master’s Spiritual Power grows stronger, it also gives one percent back to the pet beast, making the pet beast’s soul quite delicious.

While not as tasty as the Beast Master’s soul, it could still match one percent of it.

Beast Taming Dao was the world will’s carefully prepared feast for the Evil Gods.

The invasion of the four gods best demonstrated the allure of Beast Masters’ souls to the Evil Gods.

In the past, the world will could only attract one Evil God at a time, or at most two simultaneously. This time, drawing in four at once reflected the Evil Gods’ love of human Beast Masters’ souls.

The elder president did not need to travel through the River of Time to see what the future held for the human race.

With each rise of the human race, there was a decline with every harvest by the Evil Gods they attracted.

It was like cutting chives, harvesting one batch after another.

Note: When chives are cut in half, they quickly grow new leaves and thrive even more than before.

The future of the human race appeared to be one of despair and darkness, choking the elder president, who cherished the human race as his own life, with hopelessness.

Do the humans have a chance to escape this situation in the future?

The elder president did not see even the slightest hope.

Indeed, not the slightest glimmer, not a speck of hope was visible.

The world will would cover up the ’truth.’ Those who knew would be sensed and then systematically erased by the world will. Every trace of them in the human world would be obliterated.

The measures the world will took to conceal the ’truth’ were not limited to this and included many other meticulous precautions.

For example, the guardian of the River of Time, the “Master of Endless Time,” existed to prevent anyone from learning the “truth” from the past or the future.

If no one knew the truth, no one would resist. Moreover, even if a Divine King of the human race were to arise, they would be defenselessly deceived by the world will because they wouldn’t know the truth.

An entity as powerful as the Bronze Divine King, who could replace the world will, also perished in the deception.

Moreover, even more despairing was the fact that the more gods the world will consumed, the stronger it would become.

Could the future of humanity get any darker? In fact, it could indeed become darker.

Evil Gods are divinities that have become corrupted and maddened and are enormous sources of pollution for the world.

The world will consuming Evil Gods is, in reality, not beneficial.

Evil Gods are like radioactive food. Consuming radioactive food would render one radioactive themselves.

The elder president did not need to see through the future to understand how the world will would turn out.

Through the continuous consumption of Evil Gods, the world will would slowly go mad, become corrupted, and the closely connected world would inevitably be affected, leading to the corruption of the entire world.

A corrupted world would become a breeding ground for despair and sorrow, and the world will determine the best food for the Evil Gods, the “human race,” predestining them to be the protagonists of tragic fate.

The future world would be filled with suffering, despair, struggle, and numbness…

Thinking about this, the elder president felt a deep concern for the people of the future.

Normally, a sane world will would not consume Evil Gods, not even discard them in the void.

But what if the world will were insane?

The elder president, the Bronze Divine King, and the Titan Divine King all once suspected that after the initial unexpected arrival and death of an Evil God in the Divine Beast World, the world will already had issues.

However, they could not verify this, as any attempt to investigate the truth in the past would be stopped by the Master of Endless Time guarding the Time River.
