Chapter 911: Chapter 64: Zhong Yao’s Innermost Thoughts
“That’s what makes the teacher the most terrifying. It is trying to… beco this world itself.”
Tang Xian had already understood.
The Eden ruins were real; the Eden sanctuary was the falsehood.
Not just the Eden sanctuary—everything within the sanctuary was false.
Including himself and his mother.
Why did the deer of Eden only sniff at scents but never seek food? Why did the timid deer of Eden show no fear of humans?
Why did the Zuton Sacred Tree madly absorb nutrients in the red soil forest, yet coexist peacefully with countless others here?
Because they had no biological needs. And because everything else here was the sa.
Because they were like him, re consciousnesses detached from physical bodies.
Only now did Tang Xian fully understand why the books his mother read were about such absurd topics—because these events were happening to him in reality.
She was rely searching for an answer.
But how could such an answer ever be found?
The thing that shocked Tang Xian the most was the power of Eden’s master.
“I rember you said this place was originally very small? But later it began to expand?”
“Yes, the Eden ruins weren’t initially ruins; they were an expansive, irregular region. And as for the Eden sanctuary, according to the teacher, hundreds of years ago, it was rely a single room. It has been slowly expanding every day, symbolizing the teacher’s degree of fusion with the world itself.”
“Fusion?”
“The world creates all things but lacks consciousness, resulting in so creatures being grotesque while others are beautiful. The evolution and regression, survival and death of all things are rife with irregularities. This disorder exists because the world lacks a supre deity.”
“Such an arrogant idea. The creator is just an abstract concept, one that refers to the universe itself as a bearer of life and laws—not to any specific being. And yet, it wants to make itself the creator?” Tang Xian was no longer surprised.
If Eden’s master had already evolved to the point of twisting reality with its consciousness,
Then judging from those notebook entries it wrote atop the tower, such an arrogant being might genuinely harbor the ambition of considering itself the world’s supre deity.
Wouldn’t this level of egotism even surpass the Dark Crow in absurdity?
Zhong Yao spoke up:
“It’s actually quite logical for the teacher to harbor such thoughts.”
“Logical?”
“Throughout its life, it faced almost no defeats, reaching unparalleled heights in its exploration of laws, unable to find even a single peer. If the Soul Crystal granted the beast gods unrivaled physical power, then it gave the teacher the kind of power that all life envies most.”
Tang Xian nodded:
“The uniqueness and strength of Eden’s master truly seem as though the universe poured its finest resources into crafting a god.”
Zhong Yao continued:
“In the beginning, the teacher’s idea was to slowly ta the other beast gods, to lead them in jointly governing this world and making it more ordered. But the God of Causality was the first to oppose, and the other beast gods each had their own difficulties.
At that ti, however, the teacher didn’t intend to sche against these beast gods or to seize their powers. Not until one day, when it discovered the birth of the God of Destruction.”
“What does this have to do with the God of Destruction?”
“If all the creatures in this world followed certain rules, had limits, and could be controlled, then for the teacher, it would be like soone with obsessive-compulsive disorder seeing asymtrical things—disturbing, but tolerable.
But the God of Destruction was different; it seed to break the rules of biological evolution, growing stronger and stronger without end. Despite being an orange-tier creature, it could leap beyond any obstacles to reach the red-tier.”
“So it was jealous of the God of Destruction?” Tang Xian exclaid.
“Perhaps… that might indeed be jealousy,” Zhong Yao pondered for a few seconds but couldn’t find a more fitting word.
Tang Xian was speechless.
The God of Destruction, so ticulously calculated and arranged by Eden’s master, had actually provoked its jealousy?
“The teacher believed—how could a creature transcend levels? The world was already chaotic enough; why would the universe create a species that defies rules? A being with no bottleneck, capable of limitless growth—this, in the teacher’s view, was a failure in the world’s unconscious creation of life. This world needs a leader. Not one bound by ruling authority, but one with the ability to strategize everything—a being possessing profound wisdom about life and the universe. Only by such governance could the world beco more orderly and beautiful.”
“Initially, due to the beast gods’ imnse strength, the teacher didn’t consider scheming against them. But with the appearance of the God of Destruction, the teacher realized that everything was wrong. The diversity of life was spiraling out of control, and increasingly powerful monsters were being born. And so, not long after, it created one of its most monuntal works—the Eden Embryo.”
“What is that?”
“A Golden Finger to grant you the authority of the creator. Simply put, a biological fabrication tool.”
Tang Xian imdiately thought of an ancient video ga called *Spore.*
In its second stage, players could design any creature they wanted, experiencing the privileges of being a creator.
He never expected Eden’s master to have truly accomplished this, turning it into reality.
At this thought, Tang Xian suddenly understood the origin of Junlin’s birth, and he couldn’t help but smile.
Zhong Yao was puzzled:
“What’s so amusing about this?”
Tang Xian figured there was no need to hide it:
“Eden’s master saw the God of Destruction as an anomaly, a creature that should never have existed in this world. Because the God of Destruction’s strength had no limits. So it devised a plan to beco the world’s creator itself. The amusing part is… Eden’s master’s Eden Embryo may have inadvertently created another being with a similarly limitless potential.”
