Chapter 530 [Bonus ] Answers (2)

Upon hearing Orion's question, a loud sigh echoed through the space.

"I had a feeling that you would ask this," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said. "Unfortunately, I can't answer that question because I have no idea who Naka is."

Orion's face suddenly deepened into a frown.

"Don't get me wrong; I've spoken to him several times, so, I don't mean I know who Naka is. What I'm trying to say is that I don't know what kind of god he is," Aegis of the Arctic Deity clarified, observing Orion's expression.

Orion pondered for a moment before his eyes suddenly widened in realization as he quickly understood what Aegis of the Arctic Deity's words meant. "You mean..."

"Yes," Aegis of the Arctic Deity interrupted, "Naka might be a god. However, whether he is a man-made god or a true god is something I do not know about," he added.

Witnessing Orion's stunned expression, Aegis of the Arctic Deity released a sigh, "For you to properly understand what I'm trying to convey, I will need to explain everything from the beginning," he said before he continued, "After the 'Age of Migration,' a time when we all ventured through the stellar gates and found our way to this world, we waged war upon the humans, the only beings surprisingly living on this world by themselves."

"Upon finding out the earth was a godless world, the gods decided to take it for themselves and settle their children upon it. Piece by piece, they shared the land, and all those who could take a huge portion of this world successfully were called the 'Nine Greed Gods.' Each of these gods was well-known for their actions and contributions during the 'Age of Migration.' Of course, although this name was given to them by the humans, considering what they had done, it's not too far-fetched for one to disagree with it."

Orion stood rooted in his spot in shock and understanding as he learned about what had happened in the past before the world ended up the way that it was.

"After a period of the 'Nine Greed Gods' sudden rise, several new figures, all of which were powerful gods, capable of contending with even the 'Nine Greed Gods', suddenly appeared out of nowhere. They were called the 'Seven Great Gods'," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said. He narrowed his large pair of golden eyes on Orion, who was staring at him with eyes full of surprise, and asked, "Do you have any idea what their race was?"

Listening to Aegis of the Arctic Deity's question, Orion shook his head in response, "No," Orion responded.

He awaited Aegis of the Arctic Deity's response with a bit of foreboding.

"The 'Seven Great Gods' are all humans."n(.OvElbIn

Aegis of the Arctic Deity's voice resounded through the halls, causing Orion's body to freeze as his eyes widened in disbelief.

"Although it is unknown where they all came from, or how you humans had done it, or how you had managed to fully harness the Divine Mysteries into that of a mortal body, however, one thing that was certain is that the 'Seven Great Gods' were all... man-made gods," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said. "After their emergence, it could be said that there was a global push favouring the humans, causing the maltreatment that they had suffered from other races and gods to suddenly come to a stop, as no being, whether god or mortal, would want to go against several powerful gods at once during such a volatile time.

Nine Greed Gods!

Seven Great Gods!

As Orion listened to Aegis of the Arctic Deity's voice, he absorbed everything he could, not daring to miss a single detail.

"After a while, to reclaim their lost lands, the 'Seven Great Gods' fought against the 'Nine Greed Gods,' resulting in a cataclysm that could destroy the earth several times. They halted their advances and decided to eliminate the 'Nine Greed Gods' one by one. Their clash was inevitable from the first time they emerged into the world, and although they preserved the world from being annihilated, the aftermath of their clash was enough to turn the earth upside down."

"Who won?" Orion asked.

Although he didn't know when his lips had parted to speak, Orion didn't stop himself, as he knew deep within his heart that that was what he wanted to say.

"No one," Aegis of the Arctic Deity responded.

Orion's eyes widened in disbelief at Aegis of the Arctic Deity's response.

No one! Could both the 'Nine Greed Gods' and the 'Seven Great Gods' be responsible for shaping the earth into its current state?

lightsΝοvεl ƈοm Orion wanted to open his mouth and ask; however, seeing as Aegis of the Arctic Deity hadn't finished speaking, he sealed his lips and paid attention to every word he uttered.

"Naka was already present before the emergence of the 'Seven Great Gods,' however, despite his strength, he didn't obtain a vast majority of territories and make himself the ruler over them like the 'Nine Greed Gods.' Instead, he was more focused on lending a helping hand to races that could not survive on their own and sometimes forging alliances with gods who were not strong enough to protect their children or provide the necessary sustenance for their daily lives," Aegis of the Arctic Deity said.

"Therefore, Naka wasn't well known for his strength, but rather for the alliances he forged with several other gods, and the forces gathered around him, making them no lesser, if not comparable, to the 'Nine Greed Gods. Fortunately, one of the races that Naka had lent a helping hand to were humans. Once the 'Seven Great Gods' emerged, instead of opposing him as they did against the 'Nine Greed Gods,' they forged an alliance with him, further making him a threat that the 'Nine Greed Gods' could no longer ignore," Aegis of the Arctic Deity added. "Do you know why neither side emerged victorious in the battle between the 'Nine Greed Gods' and the 'Seven Great Gods'?"
