Adam tells Him a lot of things that completely shocks the living daylight of Arc...
"And so the gods build their own kingdoms created their own people fashion them in their image, while the Beast roams the universe and was considered a living Apocalypse as for the elementals they follow their instinct and dwell in the world that suits them. For a very long time, there were peace and tranquility the universe is huge so huge that gods themselves rarely met one another."
"Many years passed and the children of the gods prospered they built mighty and towering structures the explored the galaxy harvesting whatever they want.
But as the children of the gods are having the time of their lives their parents eventually got bored they wanted more, more than this universe can offer but no matter what they did and no matter how powerful they are they can't escape the shackles of the universe that gives birth to them, and so they pool their resources and build a separate dimension away from the prying eyes of the will of the universe. And so Heaven is born it is a place that only gods can reach and in there they plan on how to escape their prison.
Time flew by millions of years have passed and the kingdom of gods rise and fall, but the gods are still holed up in Heaven until one day they made a breakthrough they found out that absorbing the elementals increases their control over that said elements and with the power-up they manage to open the path outside the universe, but they also found out that absorbing the elementals, although it increases their power it also increases the hold of the universe on them.
So to avoid that they turn back to their creation but after millions of years the creation they left is no longer what they were in the past, but instead it's a mix of all their creations. And because of that, they can no longer hold their powers like their original creations, so they create another one, one that combines all their knowledge and powerful enough to hold their power and the power of the elementals to open the path outside the universe for them to escape.
And so Adam drops the bomb. In his next words, he said "and so I was born and through me, I build an empire that will one day be called Sovereign"
Arc was so shocked he couldn't speak for a while and Adam with a smile on his face let him absorbed all that in his way.
"You, you're the first Emperor of a sovereign empire?"
"Well to be more accurate the other me," said Adam with a slight smile on his face.
"What who? Nine?" Ask Arc.
"Haha no! Let me explain using the power of the gods using part of their flesh they created me or the original Adam, don't interrupt let me finish."
Arc who was about to ask again shut his mouth.
The original Adam is then the father of the race called celestials who have inherited the power of the gods to manipulate elements, no, to be accurate they inherited the power to manipulate energy using energy to create whatever we want through Adam they created another one Eve.
For a time Adam was happy living with his partner Eve until the gods intervene for they created Adam not for anyone else but for themselves. The god's then by using Eve they manipulated Adam and his children to hunt down all the elementals. The plan was to use Adam as a vessel to absorb the elementals and use those power to open the door that will negate all kinds of power including the power of the will of the universe.
Every celestial can create a single tool that will use up half of their flesh and blood as a catalyst and that tool will have the power to convert energy into something specific.
Adam was against it as it uses the life of his children but through Eve the gods manipulated his descendants it wasn't until too late that Adam realizes the truth that he was only a tool created by the gods to escape this universe.
His children using the tools they created with half of their life as compensations wage war across the universe in order to capture and absorbed the elementals.
Adam and his children's powers are the banes of the elementals because unlike the gods who can't control the elementals as they are from the same source, but Adam is different he was artificially created with the sole purpose of opposing the power of the universe and absorbing the elementals.
Learning the truth Adam is enraged, but he didn't show it, but secretly he created a system using half his flesh like his descendant but unlike them, he also uses half his soul giving life to his creation and Adam secretly let his creation absorbed as many ancient elementals as possible it took him thousands of years to perfect his creation until one day the gods finally have enough elementals to create a gate the only thing missing is the vessel to take all that power and that's where Adam comes into play.
That is his purpose but what they didn't know is that Adam created a tool that is more powerful than any gods and elementals combine The System.
So when it's time for the gods to open the door and leave they needed to strip off all their power and temporarily store it inside Adam in order to remove all the shackles the universe has in them.
And when Adam opened the door using the combined power of the elementals and the power they bestowed on Adam, and after they pass through along with Adam they will be able to retrieve back their power.
The plan is very simple, but Adam is against it as it uses all the power of the elemental that his descendant has absorbed in other words by opening the door all his descendants that absorbed the elemental would be sacrificed and in order to prevent that he needed to do something.
And so when the time comes for the gods to open the door, and they have stored all their power in Adam normally Adam can't do anything against the power stored in him but with the help of the system, he let the system absorb all the god's power and convert it into an energy unit for him to use by the time the gods figured it out it was too late all their powers are already converted into energy unit. The gods were enraged and even without their power, they are still a force to be reckoned with.
Adam used all the power he has and summon a god-level being using the system metal colossus bigger than the planet to fight with the gods but unknown to him Eve with the manipulation of the gods use herself and her children as a sacrifice to give back a portion of the gods' power.
In the end, Adam was defeated and the sovereign kingdom was purged by the gods to release their anger and rage.
But that also ended their reign as gods and with the elementals nearly extinct there's no way for them to restore their power and over time their power should begin to wane, and soon they will be stripped of their godhood but before that, they made another being as a last resort to gain back the godhood, they no longer wants to leave the universe they just want their power back. And so they created humans using the genes of Adam in hope that one of them would inherit the power of Adam and would be able to amass enough power to give them back their godhood.
"Wait then that means where…"
That's right you are my children as well, but they missed one thing I'm still here. And as long as I exist there's no way for them to manipulate humanity because unlike before they don't have Eve anymore. Back then Eve was made using my very flesh and god's flesh so through eve they were able to manipulate my children.
"But how come they can't manipulate you?" Ask Arc.
It's simple I'm stronger than them at least my existence is above them as I'm the combination of their powers as well as some elementals. And Eve is their back door to me or to my children without Eve to bypass me they won't have the power to manipulate my children, and now they made the same mistake using my flesh as a catalyst to create humanity it would have worked if I'm not here but with me here it won't happen.
But you know their experiment to open a door to the other universe has both pleasant and unpleasant consequences in the universe.
