Apocalypse: Transmigrated General's Daughter Uses Space to Survive-Chapter 531: The Story of Creation
"What exactly is this power of faith, and why is it just intruding into our bodies passively?" Chu Miao still didn’t feel safe with something so mysterious intruding into her.
"The power of faith is a good thing. It’s the kind of power the ancient gods cultivated. After Pangu created the world and died, other gods emerged with different kinds of powers.
Like Nuwa who created you humans." Little White explained.
"There are also other gods like Shennong, Yanluo, the human emperor, and others who ruled the world before it split.
However, they realized that their powers were not growing, so Nuwa created humans who then started worshipping her as the creator and she began to grow more powerful.
The gods realized that if the humans believed in them whole-heartedly and worshipped them, then they could get more powerful and probably rival Pangu.
However, some of the gods helped humans so that humans would progress, while others did it purely to get worshipped and receive the power of faith.
As such, a conflict occurred among the gods.
And this conflict spilled over to the humans.
Humans became cultivators and strived to become like the gods. That’s how immortals were born. However no matter how much they tried, they couldn’t get the power of faith, so they could never truly become true gods.
That was also the reason why in the Immortal Realm, no matter how powerful you became, you were never able to breakthrough to the divine immortal to achieve true immortality.
I never said anything because that would only discourage you, but now that you have gained the power of faith, once you cultivate again to the immortal realm, you have a chance to ascend to true immortality." Little White continued to explain.
Chu Miao listened to all of this and finally couldn’t help but ask, "Just how old are you? How do you know so much?"
She started wondering how old the white tiger really was.
How could it know about things that happened before humanity was created?
The four mythical beasts were created first by Nuwa to guard the world. There is a guardian of the North, the black tortoise, south, the vermilion bird, east, the azure dragon, and the west, yours truly, white tiger.
It’s not that we live forever, we die, but every time a mythical beast dies, another one is born, and it inherits the memories of the previous one.
It’s just that, there can never be two living mythical beasts at the same time.
However, we live for many years. We can live for hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years.
That’s why we know a lot of things that humans don’t." Little White explained further.
"Oh! So that’s how it is?" Chu Miao was surprised that there are so many things not found in history books.
"Yes, so, this time you guys lucked out. The apocalypse has forced people to lose faith in humanity and even in god’s, but you guys appeared and helped them without conditions and without expecting anything in return.
These people practically see you as their saviors and are awed by you from the bottom of their hearts.
Their worship for you is sincere. That’s why you got the power of faith coming from their true beliefs." Little White continued.
"Eh! Then doesn’t that mean that those immortals from the Immortal Realm never really worshipped us truly as their king and queen?" Chu Miao wondered out loud.
"Everyone in the Immortal Realm wants to be at the top. No one wants to be led by another, so it makes sense that they would pretend to worship us while they plot to overthrow our rule.
Do you really think that those demons who invaded the Immortal Realm found a way to sneak in themselves?
Someone looked for them and had a deal with them, creating a gap for them to enter the Immortal Realm and once we were killed, they could rule.
Unfortunately, they didn’t count on you sacrificing yourself to protect the Immortal Realm.
So, their plan failed and all the demons were driven back to the Demon Realm." Ye Xuan explained the real situation to his girlfriend and Chu Miao wasn’t too surprised.
"I had known that some people were ambitious, but I never expected their ambition to go so far as to put the entire Immortal Realm at risk."
"Master, you are still too naive. Even the ancient gods tried to enslave humans so that they could force them to worship them and give them the power of faith.
If righteous gods like Shennong and Yanluo hadn’t sacrificed themselves to separate the heavens where the gods lived and the realm where humans lived, then humans would still be slaves." White tiger continued.
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that gods still exist?" Chu Miao was surprised and this time even Ye Xuan looked at white tiger with intent.
"Of course they still exist. They are just not in the same realm as humans or immortals.
This was done to prevent the gods from harming humans. It’s the same as how Master Ye Xuan left the Immortal Realm and entered the human realm and his power was suppressed to the highest the human realm can accommodate. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
This is done to prevent the immortal from entering the human realm and harming them or enslaving them.
However, the gods are different. No matter how much their power is suppressed, it cannot go lower than the divine transformation stage. This is a level that no immortal has achieved, so there would be no one to protect them.
So, the barrier between the immortal realm and the heavens where the gods live cannot be broken, even by the gods.
It can only open a path if someone from the Immortal Realm achieves true godhood.
And obviously, this has never happened.
So, no God has gotten the opportunity to descend.
And that’s good because if a god descends, then those fools in the Immortal Realm would definitely be tricked into worshipping them, only making them stronger. And if they ever turn against the immortals, then the immortal realm could be wiped out by a single God."
