Chapter 636: Terrifying Game (1)
Panda Novel
The Truth Goddess' question frightened Marvin.
Even though the hermit in the Underdark had hinted at something unspeakable when Marvin went to borrow the Demon Subduing Sword, Marvin hadn't felt too concerned about it at the time.
He felt that whatever the case, he only needed to become strong enough in order to be able to solve any problems thrown at him.
But with the Truth Goddess herself standing in front of him and telling him that Lance had schemed against her, how could he not be shocked?
"To be honest… I have no idea."
Marvin felt like his brain was going to explode!
He instinctively drew on the Wisdom power.
When Marvin encountered difficult situations or doubts, this ability would be activated on its own. But even this ability had its limits.
Whenever the name "Lance" appeared in Marvin's mind, the ability from his Wisdom power would suddenly stop working.
He suddenly paled!
Clearly, the Wisdom ability wasn't omnipotent. It was like a Wizard using Divination to find traces of Gods, it might bite him back!
Lance was Feinan's God of Creation, after all!
...
"Looks like you really don't know."
Molly was silent for a moment as she looked at Marvin with a strange expression. "You are really someone from another world?"
Marvin remained silent.
He didn't know how he should answer that question.
Admit it? Or deny it?
Something like transmigration might be hard to accept even for Gods. But it seemed that the most powerful ones already knew about the matter of Lance choosing him.
Fortunately, the Goddess of Truth didn't linger on this question. She thought for a while before slowly saying, "My resurrection might disrupt some people's plans, but you are the one he chose, truly interesting."
"Although telling you the truth now might be a bit cruel and too early, you aren't strong enough yet, and I think you have the right to know."
"The most important thing is, which side do you want to stand on?"
'Which side?'
Marvin felt baffled.
He only wanted to keep on living, protecting what he held dear, making up for his previous life's regrets, and becoming a true hero.
So he was always tirelessly running, leaving his mark in important events all over Feinan.
He didn't even have time to think about the deeper meaning of his transmigration.
But being ignorant of the facts wouldn't let him escape them.
The chance encounter with Lance in his dreams should already have made him suspicious.
He thought and took a deep breath before asking, "What are you trying to tell me?"
The Goddess of Truth sighed and gave Marvin a look of pity before saying, "If I say that this world's God of Creation, Lance, wants to destroy it, would you believe it?"
Marvin opened his mouth wide open.
…
In the God Realm of Truth, time was frozen.
Marvin had ample time to digest the information that the Truth Goddess had just given him.
After hearing the story, his mood was extremely grave.
He finally understood why she had insisted on inviting him to her God Realm before speaking of this.
The crux of the matter was too terrifying.
Wizard God Lance!
The man revered as the Supreme God in all of Feinan… actually wanted to destroy this world?
If someone else said that, Marvin would definitely think they were crazy.
But it was the Truth Goddess...
Marvin sank into a long silence.
He thought back over the story recounted by the Truth Goddess:
"After resurrecting, I immediately went looking for some old friends."
"But sadly, I discovered that except for Faniya, the Ancient Gods of my generation had all disappeared. I couldn't find them. And Lance's disappearance was the most thorough. It was as if all of this happened at the same time!"
"I kept searching and gathered some clues, eventually managing to discover the root of the matter."
"The core of that issue lay in the 3rd Era and the three Fate Tablets."
...
Fate Tablets.
They had played a critical role in Feinan's history.
According to the Truth Goddess, the Fate Tablets, like the Universe Magic Pool, were created by the God of Creation, Lance!
They had no actual relation to the Plane Will!
It was actually the Wizard God who, by relying on his own understanding of all kinds of Domains in this world, created the tablets, giving ordinary lifeforms the chance to ascend to Godhood.
From that point of view, the 3rd Era's New Gods were all man-made!
These Gods were all supported by Lance.
The difference between New Gods and Ancient Gods was pretty simple: The Ancient Gods all originated from the Plane Will or through gathering enough blessings in the ancient era.
And the New Gods were a group of Gods created by Lance.
The Truth Goddess believed that Lance was supporting the New Gods in order to replace the Ancient Gods' positions.
The Astral Sea's authority was now in the hands of the three Great Gods.
Perhaps they didn't know, but the New Gods were definitely Lance's chess pieces.
This was just one step.
The second step was to guide the desires of the lifeforms of this Universe.
The Ancient Gods didn't have too many desires. They had a natural feeling of belonging to Feinan because they themselves had resulted from the Plane Will.
But the New Gods were different. They were Humans, or other lifeforms, who evolved into something greater. They were full of great worldly desires.
They wanted to break through, they wanted to reach a higher level of strength, they wanted to escape from this cage.
Thus, they were destroying the current order.
This was something that Lance had wanted.
Because in all of Feinan, the one who wanted to see the collapse of the Universe the most was actually the Wizard God Lance himself!
...
"But… how does Lance benefit from the destruction of this Universe?"
Marvin already felt that what he had heard up to now was the truth.
But he still put forward his own doubts.
The Goddess of Truth calmly explained, "He had been wanting to escape this prison for a long time."
"You feel like this is a very beautiful world, but to him, it is actually a web of shackles. He is Feinan's God of Creation, thus, his body has Feinan's unerasable mark. That mark makes him omnipotent in this Universe, but it's also a rope tying him here."
"He yearns for something greater. He might have already seen the edge of the world, and if he could, he would have left… I believe that long ago, he already sent his friends to that world. He is the only one remaining now, and he has always been itching to leave."
"And the only way to leave is to destroy this world."
Marvin gave his head a quick shake as he asked a follow-up question. "He is the God of Creation, so shouldn't it be easy for him to destroy this world?"
The Truth Goddess shook her head. "It's not that easy;"
"This involves a game between Lance and Feinan's Plane Will."
