Chapter 627 The First Race

"However, unlike the gods you are aware of now, the gods of before were beings with only one personality. As such, even though we could understand the complexity of the things around us, we were still simple-minded beings who could focus only on one thing, no matter how far our minds could stretch."

"However, several hundred million years later, as the first universe became clearer and clearer after its first light had pierced through it, we no longer wanted to merely observe but interact with it. After all, this was a place that had yet to be touched by the gods, so our curiosity for what lay within was unfathomable. However, when we tried to infiltrate and interact with the universe, we encountered an unimaginable problem," Aerialia said.

"Can you guess what it is?" she asked.

Orion shook his head in response.This material is rooted in n0velbin★

"We couldn't get into the universe no matter how hard we tried. To us, who thought that our powers were boundless, this was the first time we had encountered something like this. In short..." Aerialia said, but Orion continued, completing her sentence for her.

lightsnοvεl "You were trapped in the heavens," Orion said wide-eyed.

Aerialia nodded in response, "Yes. Since this was something new to us, we tried with all our might to break through; however, no matter how hard we tried, we were unsuccessful. Seeing that we couldn't get into the universe, we decided to see if our powers could, and surely it worked."

Orion's eyes widened. His mind raced as he thought about the first created race in existence, who was larger than the universe itself. It was more than absurd compared to the other races he had seen.

And most of all, considering how powerful the gods were before, he couldn't help but wonder how they had become like this, which were far weaker than how unbelievably powerful they were before.

Nonetheless, as Aerialia continued to speak, Orion kept his ears open, understanding that he would get some clues to his question.

"As this was the first time we had encountered mortality, unlike the rebirths of the universe which we had seen previously, we decided to see if there was anything that we had done wrong that had led to such an outcome. After a million years passed by, we decided to create our second race."

"This time, the second race was created within the confines of the universe, endowed with the will to either accept or reject the commands of the gods who sought to use them to interact with the universe. Unlike the first race, this new creation found everything they needed within the vast expanse of the universe."

"As they multiplied, the expanding universe, fueled by the remnants of the first race, ensured an unending supply of sustenance. However, after several hundred million years, we soon encountered another problem," Aerialia sighed.

"As the second race was granted the will to obey or refuse the commands of the gods, they gradually grew tired of following orders and began to rebel. Initially, it wasn't a significant issue, but as more and more of them chose to defy the gods, a debate arose among the gods on how to regain control over the race they had created."
