Divine Path System

918 Primordial God

The concept of 'Divine beings' wasn't a foreign thing to Varian or any human. There were plenty of myths from the old earth from all traditions and cultures.

But some of these divine beings were proven to be the descendants of Devas who were merely worshipped by the earthlings for their miraculous powers.

Could they still be allowed to be called as gods?

Varian didn't really think much about it. But at least from the perspective of divine paths, it was incorrect.

The beings from Level 1 to level 9 were termed as mortals. The next range beings were called Celestials. And the ones above were referred to as Divines.

Still, according to the system, none of them really called themselves gods.

[There are no living gods today. But once upon a time, there were three.]

Varian slowly approached the twisting strands of divinity as the System narrated.

[These three were the earliest gods. They could almost everything. But not everything. They were after all, born after the Universe. They too are a product of this Universe, albeit infinitely close to its source.]

The closer Varian got to the divinities, the harder it got.

There was no aura pressure. No gravity pressure. Not even a change in temperature.

But an invisible pressure was pressing down his very soul. Something from deep within seemed to scream at him 'Don't go. Don't approach it any further. It is something neither you nor any living being should touch.'

Yet, Varian moved forward.

Sarah and Enigma followed him.

But after fifty steps, Sarah stayed behind. After ten more steps, Enigma stopped.

[These three gods were almost omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent. But no matter what they did, they couldn't overcome the 'almost'. The difference seems like just one word, but in reality, it's two completely different concepts. So, the three gods made a plan.]

As Varian inched closer to the divinities, he began to more things.

There were light dots around the red and green strands. These light dots were coming out of nowhere and after touching the strands, they were disappearing into nowhere.

Varian extended his senses and tried to analyze the divinities. He couldn't sense anything.

Even though he could see them, for his extra senses, it was as if the strands simply didn't exist.

On the other hand, he was able to successfully sense the light dots. But it only confused him further.

'Souls…?'

The soul of a fire rabbit. The soul of a raging tiger. The soul of a…

Varian didn't even know if he could call it soul. After all, he never saw them before.

But these light dots had the memories of these beasts along with a dormant mental power and other things he couldn't detect.

The only thing he could think of was a 'Soul'.

And from the light dots, Varian saw certain creatures that belonged exclusively to the Mad Zone.

So, these souls were either coming only from Mad Zone or from everywhere.

But…

'Death. Undead. Resurrection.' Varian's eyes narrowed and he took another step.

His clothes was already soaked in cold sweat and at some point, he was already bleeding from the tip of his fingers and the corner of his eyes.

[The three gods wanted to be real gods. So, they decided to make a Universe themselves. To do so, they began experimenting. They started making worlds.

It was a costly affair. But they kept doing it. None of these worlds ever reached the standards they hoped for.

So, the gods stopped creating these artifical worlds. And after some point, they died.]

Varian was ten steps away from the strands. Now, he was able to see even more things.

Almost like watching a movie, he saw a snake dying. He saw the soul of the snake reach the ash colored divinity and then return to its body. The dead body of the snake turned into an Undead.

Then, he saw the Undead snake killing an Undead fish. That fish's soul came to the green strand and returned, forming an egg.

At that moment, things fell in place.

[These three gods represented three avenues. Order-Chaos, Space-Time, Life-Death.

Only the union of their powers could create an artificial world so perfect.

And the place host previoulsy was in is the creation of the Primordial god of Life and Death.

What is in front is a tiny fraction of that god's power. It's far from a sliver. But it's the power of a god that was designed to run that place.

No matter who dies there, unless they're comparable to the Primordial God, they'll resurrect.]

Varian took another step forward and reached the divinity strands. Taking a deep breath, he touched the two.

A warm vitality spread from the tip of his fingers into his body before a chilling death aura replaced it. The two went back and forth and in just a few seconds, Varian felt like he was tossed from heaven to hell and back.

Finally, both the sensations subsided and the strands shone a light on Varian.

[Congratulations Host, you've gained the ownership of this power and that place.]

Indeed, Varian could 'sense' the whole Mad Zone now. With a snap of his fingers, he could make a beast permenantly die and ressurrect an Undead.

He could even order the guardians of the region, the giant turtles to die. And they'd do so without hesitation.

As Varian grew ecstatic, another light shone on him from nowhere.

[And since the Primordial god had one-third of credit in creating this world, as someone who recieved the legacy and gained controlled of the special zone, you are partially recognized by this World Will.]

"Woah!"

Varian recieved a bunch of information from the World Will.

The trial, the four teams, the Inner World and the 'prize'.

Not only that, he also learnt about the existence of two more zones.

One made by the Space-Time Primordial god and another by Order-Chaos Primordial god.

Varian exhaled deeply. So much happened in so little time that he was a bit overwhelmed.

But now, he knew what to do.

Even though he recieved partial recognition, it wouldn't be enough to return to Earth.

He needs to do two things. First, clear the trial and gain permission to leave this world.

Second, ask the current ruler of the natives, the Matriarch, for the cosmic coordinates of the 'Deva World' recorded in their scriptures.

With his current power, he was confident in accomplishing both.

"Let's go~"
