"Although our three gods have different goals, everything stems from our love for life in the netherworld. Gaia loves all intelligent life in the netherworld, Tiamat loves all forms of life in the netherworld... and I love every civilization of the mortals in the netherworld that has perished or will soon perish."

"For our different starting points, yet our shared goal of 'a love for life in the netherworld,' I killed them, and they willingly let me kill them, becoming the 'graves' and 'swarms' that carry all the deceased species and civilizations... Until they fell into a near-eternal slumber, this beautiful dream born of kindness and love transformed into the ultimate nightmare."

Fourth copy: 130. Amazing ideas of amazing wisdom (4k+)

God loves the world.

As mentioned before, in Dicuo's worldview, this term has never been a simple religious propaganda slogan.

However, it is hard to say whether the "love" from the gods in heaven is applicable to the basic moral principles and values ​​in conventional cognition.

After all, many gods in the lower world have completely different definitions of "God loves the world", and they may not be able to reach a consensus with each other, and may even erupt into fierce conflicts due to disagreements.

Therefore, after putting aside the worship and respect for the gods, and then measuring them by the standards of humanity, we will come to a very abstract answer:

——Gods are all madmen; divinity is madness.

Even among the gods in the [Heaven], those who are above ordinary gods and are respected as "Great Gods" are the same, and the bad things they can do are far more harmful than those of ordinary gods.

"This world has gone through more than one era in the past, and has given birth to more than one race and civilization..."

"Humans, dwarves, orcs, elves... In a history so long ago that even the records have been lost, they have more than once established kingdoms far beyond our current state..."

"But almost all civilizations eventually decline, whether due to natural disasters, man-made disasters, or war..."

"And when a flourishing civilization fades away, its descendants can only start anew from scratch on the ruins after the apocalypse, but they may not even have the chance to start over..."

"Furthermore, no one remembers them anymore. Those souls that shone with brilliant light, before returning to the [Heaven] to begin reincarnation, the glorious and heroic deeds they had created, along with their civilization, all have been buried by time..."

"However, after reincarnation after reincarnation, are they still the same people they once were? Are they still part of that civilization? They have sacrificed so much for something that even they themselves no longer remember. Is there any meaning in that..."

…So, I witnessed the passage of time in the lower world, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the way history repeated itself over and over again.

In the [Heaven], a powerful deity that symbolizes hope and the future and represents the personification of the concept of "sky" suddenly had a series of doubts.

Then, all the doubts in His consciousness eventually evolved into a complex problem pointing to the same thing.

In Xia Yan's view, this question can be simply summarized in eight words: reincarnation, past life, who is the true self?

That powerful divinity once watched a brilliant soul, watching it being born and growing up in a certain kingdom, watching it use its noble character and powerful abilities to lead the kingdom, which should have been on the verge of collapse, to revival during its lifetime, and ending its glorious life in glory and praise.

Afterwards, He also gave the most sincere blessings to this brilliant soul that returned to Heaven.

But when this brilliant soul is reincarnated again.

A long time has passed in the underworld, and the kingdom for which this soul gave everything in its previous life has long been destroyed in history.

A temporary revival could not resist the trend of history, and after the soul was reincarnated and grew up, it became a scholar and devoted itself to the study of the history of the original kingdom. As luck would have it, he was still studying the history of his previous life.

Then, in this life, this soul evaluated its previous life's 'self'. Although it praised and affirmed its great achievements, it also criticized its previous life's 'self' for being limited by the hidden dangers left over from the times. It also said that if it were not for that revival, which indirectly prolonged the old kingdom's corrupt elite class for a period of time, the subsequent wars would not have been so fierce. It is difficult to judge its merits and demerits.

This is normal.

But in the eyes of that powerful divinity.

He just thought it was ridiculous.

Due to wars and the passage of time, historical documents have been lost. That soul in this life has no way of fully understanding its own mental journey in the previous life. Its evaluation of itself is also limited by various factors, and it then came to a conclusion that seemed biased to it.

Even more irony is yet to come.

When this soul returned to the Heaven to cleanse itself of its past, and reincarnated again and again in the world, the kingdom that this soul had revived, and the new country that it had served as a scholar, were all buried in the dust of history, becoming only a few records in the literature.

Yet, in this new life, this soul sat in a bright classroom, yet the history teacher's explanation of the rise and fall of two eras showed no interest at all. The few remaining records from its previous life were less captivating than the chirping of birds in a tree outside the window...

At this time, the powerful divinity began to ask itself, is this still the soul in His memory, the one who, with his noble character and powerful ability, led the kingdom that should have been on the decline to revive during his lifetime, and ended his glorious life in glory and praise?

Then, the divine omniscience told Him…yes.

The soul is still the same soul.

It’s just that he/she doesn’t remember anything about the past after reincarnation.

There are three kinds of death: one is death in the biological sense, one is death in the social sense, which is being forgotten by people, and the last kind of death is that the whole world no longer has any trace of its existence.

"And so, I came to the conclusion—[Without civilization, there is no existence]... Only by preserving traces of our existence can those brilliant souls who have reincarnated gain access to their past lives and truly find their past selves..."

The old man on the throne said:

"...After all, it's meaningless if I'm the only one who remembers. That doesn't belong to a god like me, and that soul deserves to regain its own glory."

He showed mercy for a long time.

As a symbol of the future and hope, He should not be entangled in the past and history, but He still wants to do something.

Finally, He used the incredible wisdom He had accumulated over an eternity of time to come up with an astonishing idea.

He needs to leave an indelible tombstone for each civilization, which should record all the information of this civilization... text, art, history, philosophy, thoughts about the universe itself and the understanding of the entire world... Those souls will eventually die and reincarnate, but their glory, praise and splendor should last forever, waiting for their return.

But ordinary things are simply not qualified to withstand the eternity of time.

However, his amazing wisdom gave him a surprising idea - aren't the immortal gods of [Heaven] the best tombstones?

You must know that the gods cannot easily descend to the mortal world. This is not a restriction that has only been in place for the last thousand years. Otherwise, three thousand years before the dungeon maze disaster broke out, Prometheus, the first god to notice the disaster in the lower world, would not have simply dropped the sacred fire of [Heaven] and molded a lucky person into a half-human, half-god to resist the massive invasion of monsters, but would have descended to the mortal world himself.

But on the other hand, even if the gods in the underworld have to seal their divine power, their bodies walking in the world are also immortal.

After that.

He was surprised.

He suddenly realized.

He pondered.

He moves...

"I know that in the [Heaven], many of my 'old friends' are actually potential lunatics. I don't deny that I've gone crazy myself..."

Asthesia looked at Uranus calmly telling a story as if she had nothing to do with it, with a look of 'lunatic' on her face, and said:

"...But to be as crazy as you is, even by the standards of the gods of the [Heaven], it's considered too 'outrageous'."

"Meteor Goddess Astesia, you should also know that no matter how crazy an idea is, if it accumulates over a long enough period of time, once it occurs, it will eventually become a second one, and similar flowers will always appear."

In fact.

When that powerful deity began to act, he soon discovered that there were more than one god in the Heaven who had similar ideas.

A goddess who was familiar with him and symbolized the Earth also had doubts about the reincarnation of the soul returning to the Heaven.

Coincidentally, a close friend of the goddess who symbolizes the Earth and another goddess who symbolizes Life also have similar ideas.

But the three gods came to different conclusions.

"Gaia also sympathizes with souls that lose their memories of their past after reincarnation, but she disagrees with my conclusion that 'without civilization, there is no existence.' Instead, she believes that 'if life is lost, wisdom has no meaning.' After reincarnation, a soul is no longer the same person. Everything it once left behind as an intelligent being has no relevance to its next life..."

"Tiamat is similar, but as the goddess of life, she is even more egalitarian. She not only has compassion for the souls of intelligent beings, but also for those without wisdom, beasts, insects, and plants... But she also has doubts about the reincarnation of the Celestial Realm, and shares similar ideas to Gaia: a new individual cannot be equated with an old one..."

Afterwards, he conveyed his amazing idea, which came from his amazing wisdom, to the two goddesses. The two goddesses, who were equally crazy, marveled at his wonderful ideas and began to use their own wisdom to think deeply about whether this amazing idea had any chance of success.

"Even though they say three heads make a great master, if three lunatics start thinking about the same outrageous idea, I don't think the result will be good."

Xia Yan interjected silently.

"Yes."

The old man on the throne nodded in agreement.

"Looking back now, even calling it crazy would be an understatement to describe the idea that three psychopaths came up with together..."

When immortals are unable to experience the true meaning of death, their views on life and death will inevitably become increasingly radical.

Ever since.

The two goddesses finally volunteered to become the 'tombstone' that He had originally envisioned. However, unlike what the powerful deity had originally envisioned, the two goddesses required that there should be more than just traces of civilization in the 'tombstone'.

Gaia requires the original 'master' of civilization to be preserved. The goddess representing the Earth is more interested in preserving the bodies of intelligent life than civilization itself.

The goddess symbolizing "life" is even more radical. She believes that not only the bodies of intelligent life, but also the environment, ecology... including non-intelligent life such as beasts, insects, and vegetation should be preserved.

"One wants to preserve civilization as a 'model';"

"A person who wants to preserve a cloned backup of the master of civilization, a race of intelligent life;"

"One who simply wants to record all the lives of an entire era, an entire ecological environment that has disappeared into time and history, and reproduce it at any time..."

Irena concluded sarcastically:

"...In short, it's about three otakus and geeks who wanted to play with action figures, but ended up messing everything up."

"..."

The old otaku on the throne remained silent.

Uranus did not recount what happened next, but Xia Yan, Irena and Asthesia could all deduce what had happened.

Obviously, he succeeded in achieving his goal. The two goddesses [Earth] and [Life] voluntarily sacrificed themselves to become 'tombstones'. The three gods came to the netherworld at a certain period. By exploiting a bug, he killed [Earth] and [Life], but did not completely kill the two goddesses in the true sense. Without triggering the recall of [Heaven] and the resurrection in ten thousand years, he made the two goddesses fall into an eternal sleep that was infinitely close to death.

Then, He buried the two "remains of the gods" deep in the earth. At the same time, just like in the movie where Artemis was devoured by Scorpio Andaris and her own divine power and authority were stolen and usurped by the monster, because the goddesses of [Earth] and [Life] did not die in the true sense, even if their divine power and authority were stolen and usurped, they would not be forcibly sent back to [Heaven].

As for the individual who stole and usurped their divine power and authority...

...Of course it wasn't Him, but it—the will of the dungeon maze.

"The two divine corpses merged into the earth and life in the netherworld, while the two goddesses simultaneously fell into eternal sleep. Their dreams intertwined to form a brand new will. This is how the will of the dungeon maze came into being!"

Asthesia exclaimed in amazement:

"In the beginning, it strictly adhered to its original goal, remaining in the shadows of the world, fulfilling its function as a 'tombstone', preserving figurines of civilizational traces, cloned backups of intelligent species, and a record of the ecological environment of an entire era..."

"But the cloned backup of an intelligent species is probably more than just a simple genetic map. If I'm not mistaken, it should also contain... memories, right?!"

"The memories of the past that should have been washed away when the soul returned to the [Heaven] to await reincarnation were also secretly backed up."

"..."

Uranus slowly closed his eyes.

The two "remains of the gods" were integrated into the earth and life in the underworld, just as He had designed it from the beginning. Even if the kingdom perished and the civilization passed away, the "tombstone" would record all the information of this civilization and preserve the last remains of this civilization deep in the earth, isolated from the world, to prevent the erosion of time.

But the hidden danger broke out because of the "things" that the two goddesses wanted to preserve.

The memories of each deceased life were backed up, and this part of the backup was carried by the dreams of the two goddesses, and the ecological environment records of an entire era were naturally also preserved in their dreams.

"Didn't you ever think that it would lead to the emergence of a virtual world born from dreams?!"

Xia Yan said:

"The memory of life and the world, along with the two goddesses trapped in eternal sleep, remains eternally immortal... But the memory of life, especially the memory of intelligent life, lacking a soul, may awaken its 'self' within the infinite and eternal dream, and even gradually realize the cruel truth that 'I am not myself'."

So, they went crazy in the dream.

Then the whole dream went crazy.

"well--!"

The God of Sin on the throne sighed for the first time.

(PS: The day after Elbow Win's resurrection~ Also, this chapter is a magical modification, don't substitute it into the original work, all the magical modifications will be finished tomorrow)

The fourth instance: 131. The Origin of the Dungeon Labyrinth's Will

After listening to Uranus's story about the idea that three lunatics with amazing wisdom came up with together.

Xia Yan immediately thought of the worst possibility.

After all, this is not Asthesia's current body. In the worldview where the intelligent NPC Xingji came from, through the assimilation of all things by Originium, everything in the real universe is finally accommodated into the internalized universe, and the consciousness and soul are also preserved in it. Instead, it is more like the Emerald Dream in Azeroth in World of Warcraft, combined with the upper-level narrator plot of Sword of 805 and artificial intelligence awakening-themed movies such as Out of Control Player, and the final crater stirred up.

Therefore, the hostility and hatred of the gods of the [Heaven] in the Dungeon Labyrinth Will did not originate from the fact that they went down to the mortal world on a large scale to grant [God's Grace] to create clans and adventurers thousands of years ago, and now pushed it back.

The existence of the "God's Assassin" series of monsters before the gods descended to the mortal world proves that the will of the dungeon maze has been hostile and hateful to the gods of the [Heaven] from the very beginning.

Xia Yan could now roughly imagine what the process was like.

The dreams of the two goddesses, Earth and Life, intertwined to create a virtual world based on dreams. One of them preserved the individual memories and genetic maps of the intelligent race, while the other recorded the ecological environment of the entire era.

Then, they also preserve the memories of their lives and the world in intertwined dreams, and then out of the most simple kindness and morality, they fall into eternal sleep without interfering with these memories.

They even reproduced pieces of history and the past in their dreams with the memory of life and the memory of the world, in order to return them intact to their original owners one day in the distant future, and to those souls who have reincarnated again and again in the cycle of reincarnation to cleanse their past.

What's worse is that they have fallen into an eternal sleep of consciousness, and until this moment they still maintain the most simple kindness and morality, only replicating pieces of history and the past, without interfering with any situation.
