"This… Suniaster…" said Riku with inexplicable emotion.
"Yes, this is the source of strife and war between the gods, Suniaster."
The whole planet was caught in the flames of war, many lives were lost, the sky lost its light, was shrouded in darkness, and the earth was filled with black ashes...
What caused all this was a beautiful little cup that was shining brightly in front of it.
"Ownership of this planet… the throne of the only god… Now, this war can finally end…" Riku clenched his fists and lowered his head, leaving a few tears, and said with a slight choke.
Seeing Riku like this, Jibril next to Wu Ming realized something, and his eyes were full of thoughts.
"At the very least, the end of this war had human participation, you were the victor from the start, and often only those who yearn for peace will get their wish in the end," Wu Ming said to Riku with a smile.
"Besides, I believe that even without me, you can definitely save the planet. Possibility of Humanity is not a weak force."
From the start, Wu Ming had sensed the limitless possibilities of Riku. The feeling that Riku could end the war without him coming to this world always remained in Wu Ming's mind.
If Shuvi met Riku, she might get infected by Riku's inner feelings. With Riku's odds and Ex-Machina's abilities, the chances of successfully ending the war were quite high.
Of course, since Wu Ming was here, he would naturally choose or help.
Wu Ming was a little lucky now that he was here, otherwise, even if Riku's plan was perfect, he would definitely die in the end.
Suniaster does not allow non-gods to be the only gods.
Wu Ming felt Riku and Jibril's rejection in front of him from Suniaster, and a feeling that as long as they touched him they would become ashes entangled in Wu Ming's hands.
Wu Ming was judged neutral by Suniaster because of the power of the Dragon of the Root.
Suniaster would not make Wu Ming the only god, nor would he harm him, and completely treat himself as neutral.
"However, there is another big problem now." Wu Ming raised Suniaster with a wry smile.
After Jibril's curious eyes and Riku's still teary eyes looked up, Wu Ming started to explain.
"Because I am not a real god of this world, Suniaster does not recognize me, and Suniaster can only be inherited by a god, which means neither Old Deus creation nor humans can dominate Suniaster." Wu Ming tells the bad news.
Jibril wasn't moved, she wasn't interested in these things, and Riku's expression didn't change much, as if he expected it.
"You don't look surprised?" Wu Ming asked.
"While I was waiting, I also guessed that Suniaster might not be available to humans, and I didn't have any thoughts of wanting a Suniaster, so I wasn't surprised," Riku said slowly.
"Furthermore, I originally wanted you to be the one and only god, although that is impossible now." Riku shook his head regretfully.
The three of them fell silent.
"Hey, Riku, have you ever thought about how Old Deus was born?" Wu Ming asked suddenly.
Facing Wu Ming's question, Riku didn't answer right away, but started to ponder.
"My Lord, didn't this planet give birth to Old Deus?" Jibril said when she saw Riku not answering.
However, Wu Ming smiled and shook his head.
Of course Wu Ming wouldn't ask such a simple question, otherwise, Riku wouldn't meditate.
"I mean, why does this planet breed Old Deus, and is there any root beyond that?"
Jibril was lost in contemplation. She wasn't particularly interested in this kind of thing, and she never thought about it. She just gave up after thinking about it for a while.
"If there was no Old Deus race, then there would be only one race, namely humans in the world, because only humans are born to live on this planet, and other beings were created by various Old Deus."
Wu Ming's words made Riku look up.
"As far as I know, every world has faith. If gods rely on faith, they can become very powerful. "Wu Ming started telling his story.
"Faith can give gods unlimited power. The more people who believed in a god, the stronger the god would be. However, once the believers disappear, the gods who rely on that faith will immediately fall to the bottom."
This was basically the reason for the retreat of the gods in the Type-Moon World. People began to understand Magic that only gods could use, and Solomon discovered the magic.
People started to understand mysteries, stopped being amazed, stopped believing, and slowly started to believe in science.
"And gods can also be born of faith."
Wu Ming's words shocked Jibril.
"My Lord, do you mean gods are born of faith?!"
Then, Jibril started to think.
Gods are born of faith, and if that is the case, before creation and their gods, whose belief gave birth to Old Deus?
Jibril looked at Riku.
There is no doubt that the answer is humans, humans who have no strength, no body, and are very weak, but can play a role in ending this war.
Although in Jibril's eyes, humans are still inconspicuous, this war is simply that humans have been immersed in the light of our god.
"You should think about it too, Riku, human belief gave birth to Old Deus, and Old Deus created various races." Wu Ming nodded, then looked at Riku.
The god of the forest, the god of forging, the god of war, the god of doubt, the god of the ocean... all the gods have their own duties.
The god of war was born of war, hatred, and blood; the forest god was born of nature, green, and vegetation; the sea god was born from the ocean... all kinds of gods, and so on.
"Ah… Of course I've been thinking… The thoughts of the foolish ancestors turned into a disaster for their descendants, which is really ironic…" Riku clenched his fists tightly.
Now, he had understood what it was.
Why are humans different, why do humans have no traits, why don't humans have gods, why are humans so weak...
That was because, in the beginning, there were only humans on this planet.
Because of the human mind, the "mother" of this magical planet gave birth to the "brother" that her children thought of in her own body.
But as a result, mankind's "little brothers" created various "offspring", and the "little brothers" also neglected mankind's "older brothers" to compete for the position of "Head of the family".
In other words, from the start, they never thought that they had "brothers", these "humans" were servants in the "house", thought "brothers".
Soon, the planet's "mother" is injured, and its only "brother" can't take it anymore, and embarks on a journey to end this "family usurpation" farce.
"This really is a drama of bad family etiquette," Wu Ming said mockingly.
After that, Wu Ming looked at Riku who was a bit lost.
"Hey Riku, we need a new Old Deus, right."
Another sentence made Riku realize something again.
"What do you mean..."
