Chapter 90: Chapter 18: Evil Spirit That Steals Faith (3/5)
At the sa ti, within a space on the coral reef that had clearly been given a special decoration.
"Great True God, may you bless this negotiation to proceed smoothly!"
The oldest rfolk, who was also the current Prophet of the rfolk Race — Zequan, silently prayed.
And before her, a floating [Creator Totem] shone brilliantly in the water, as if foretelling sothing.
The Prophet is the ssenger of the Gods, yet they may not necessarily be able to truly contact the Gods.
The only ones who can directly contact the Gods are the Gods’ Apostles.
If Li Hao were to make a more vivid description.
He feels that the "Gods" themselves are more like a fundantal rule of the universe’s operation, a transdinsional existence akin to the world itself—omnipresent, omnipotent.
In a world where Gods truly exist, as long as certain conditions are t, any living being can resonate with the Gods.
It’s like mastering the tool to ignite a fire, and you can kindle a fire anyti and anywhere.
This was the original Prophet, the pioneer who led their people forward with the "Wisdom of the God".
As the Prophet’s understanding of the world deepened, and their synchronicity with the Gods increased, the information they could access grew.
Prophets at this stage, like Zequan now, could even vaguely perceive impending opportunities and dangers through the power of the Gods.
However, even so, Prophets remain just Prophets.
Only when the Gods respond to a Prophet’s prayer do they officially co under the gaze of the Gods.
A Prophet at this stage may be called many things by outsiders—Priest, Enlightened, Pastor, Father, etc.
Regardless of the title, their essence has surrendered their self, letting the "Will of the God" be the mainstay of all their actions.
Li Hao disliked this situation, and therefore he never truly allowed any Prophet to beco a Priest.
As a Creator, Li Hao didn’t need to harvest faith like a typical god.
The entire world is his Source of Power, and all creatures of the Mountain and Sea Realm see him as a "Father".
Of course, Li Hao didn’t actually forbid the creatures of the Mountain and Sea Realm from believing in other Gods.
As long as this God wasn’t a cruel and bloodthirsty Evil God, choosing to believe in them was a personal choice of the creatures.
What Li Hao needed to maintain was an order, one enabling all creatures to live and evolve peacefully.
[So, just where do you co from, Evil God?]
[Daring to deceive my people in my na?]
The [Creator Totem] in front of Zequan suddenly emitted light, and a vast will descended.
Under the pressure of this imnse will, the light from the [Creator Totem] shifted from bright to dark, then revealed a tint of azure.
"This..."
Witnessing this, Zequan’s pupils quaked with imnse fear in her eyes.
This was her first ti feeling the power of the God.
Even a re trace of power unwittingly leaked by an Evil God was enough to annihilate her.
As the wisp of azure light departed from the [Creator Totem], intending to rush towards Zequan.
A black fla suddenly arose from nowhere, and no amount of surging seawater could extinguish it.
It seed shapeless, yet surely had form...
The searing temperature confined the crimson light, forcibly compelling it to expose its true form.
[Ah!]
A mind-shattering wail emanated from within the fla, transforming in the next instant into a wicked god remarkably resembling a rfolk.
[A rfolk, after all?]
Surprised to see the wicked god resembling a rfolk, Li Hao then controlled the ominous misfortune’s flas to lessen the damage.
Simultaneously, the rfolk-like Evil God within the flas knelt with a face full of pleading.
Incessantly bowing toward the direction of the [Creator Totem], hoping for rcy.
To show sincerity, the rfolk Evil God even actively opened up his mory, allowing Li Hao to peruse at will.
.........................................................
The rfolk Evil God, or rather Evil Spirit, ca into being before the dawn of civilization.
Then, it was rely a hazy energy, without a stable vessel, wandering freely among various sea creatures.
Until one day, the sun plumted from the sky, its scorching essence vaporizing the ocean, destroying the seabed’s ecosystem.
Forced to survive, the Evil Spirit burrowed into a rock deep in the seabed, narrowly escaping the catastrophe of the "Dark Sun’s fall."
Unfortunately, since then, the Evil Spirit could no longer move freely beyond the unyielding rock.
The Evil Spirit was trapped within the rock for a full five thousand years.
Until by chance, it was taken to the coastal area as a gastrolith by a massive sea beast.
Perhaps out of worship for the sea beast, a group of not fully evolved amphibious beings picked up the rock, cherishing it as a treasure.
This group of amphibious beings was the ancestors of the rfolk, the very first of them.
Survival, procreation, evolution...
Repeating such acts day after day, year after year.
Eventually, a truly wise individual erged among the rfolk, successfully attracting the arrival of the Immortals.
—Where there is wisdom, there will be Immortals.
This is a widely circulated proverb among the Hundred Races, also a reality occurring throughout the Mountain and Sea Realm.
The Immortals planted the initial seeds of civilization within the rfolk Race.
Aiding them to get past the stage where they were most susceptible to extinction before evolving into intelligent beings.
During this process, the Evil Spirit existing as a rock also witnessed the entirety of the Immortals’ teaching.
From technology to thought, from faith to belief...
The Evil Spirit, far more intelligent than the rfolk, unknowingly developed higher wisdom.
It began to feel confused, to ponder the aning of its existence, and sought to explore the broader world...
However, at that ti, the Evil Spirit was rely a stone imbued with consciousness.
The more acutely it realized its existence, the more it tortured the Evil Spirit.
This condition persisted until the first Prophet of the rfolk was born.
The Prophet, to retain the Immortals and also to express his reverence for the Creator, decided to carve the precious stone preserved by his ancestors into the [Creator Totem].
From that point on, the Evil Spirit found it seed to be transforming into a distinctly different entity.
Its will could interfere with rfolk’s thoughts and subtly impact physical entities.
Especially after absorbing the rfolk’s faith in the Creator, the Evil Spirit found itself gradually becoming a false "Creator".
