Witch: Accumulate Experience Through The Knight Breathing Technique

Chapter 2784: Chapter 570: Ancient Times, Mythical Origin, Secret of the Insects!

The astral world, abode of All Gods.

In the eyes of most beings within the Multidimensional Plane, it is sacred, noble, selfless, humble, compassionate, and merciful... To some extent, this is indeed true.

Although Levi has certain prejudices against Gods due to various reasons. But after traveling through many places within the Multidimensional Plane, he has to admit that the astral world is indeed a shelter for many weaker civilizations.

This is not because the gods of the astral world are so noble, but because their path to strength inevitably requires sheltering more people, to support themselves, to endear themselves, to believe in themselves, so they can achieve greater longevity and authority!

And for civilizations that do not need the shelter of the astral world, such as wizards or the current barbarian tribes, due to differing stances and their own needs for expansion and growth, inevitable conflicts with the astral world arise, resulting in hostility towards it.

Essentially, since the Primordial Era, any civilization’s overt and covert struggles ultimately boil down to self-interest, and internal struggles within civilizations are the same. This is not about right or wrong, but the human sentiment: if one does not think of oneself, Heaven and Earth will perish.

Abyss and Underworld.

Nightmare and astral world.

Chaos and order.

Negative and positive.

Levi gradually understood the wisdom of the Land of Darkness.

Whether it’s the Underworld or the astral world, essentially, they are tools of the most powerful Primordial Spirit to balance the unstable elements within itself.

However, once these tools appeared, they might not operate entirely according to its original intention. Of course, as long as the general direction is correct, that’s good enough.

After the Ancient Era, a subtle balance was formed between the Four Great Giants of the world, mutually checking and battling each other.

In the following epochs, there were no other unstable factors like the ”Abyss Worm” and ”Red and Black Mother” that could threaten the Land of Darkness.

Even if some unstable factors occasionally emerged, they would be prematurely eliminated by the Four Giant Worlds that already held vested interests.

Thus, the four worlds and the Land of Darkness achieved a win-win situation.

Levi asked, ”So, is the astral world also a ’Primordial Spirit,’ nurturing those so-called Gods who feed on incense and belief?”

The middle-aged man smiled profoundly, then said:

”Half correct.”

Levi quickly adopted a humble learning posture.

”How do you mean?”

The Heavenly Will, unmoved in its heart since ancient times, could not help but show a slight sense of pride, perhaps because the future great figure in front of him, who seemed related to Sauron, also needed to seek advice on knowledge and culture from him.

He coughed and said:

”The astral world is indeed a ’Primordial Spirit’ that has persisted from the Primordial Era to the Ancient Era, its entity called ’Star Cluster Brain,’ or ’Feast Beast.’ Its role should be ’Fantasist.’

Because the Land of Darkness needs the astral world to obscure the cruel truth torn open by the ’Red and Black Mother.’ It ensures that countless beings don’t live every day in meaningless and indescribable fear. Often, knowing too much is not a good thing. Instead, living in a muddled way, following routine, is the right path.”

At this point, the Heavenly Will was filled with emotion. It had gradually revealed many truths of the world over the long years, eventually feeling that there was no point in continuing the struggle, hence adopting an ostrich mindset, numbing itself.

However, from the current leads, it seemed Sauron had not accepted his fate. Despite knowing so many before him had failed, he still planned some backup in secrecy.

This could be for further progress for himself, or perhaps for Nora. Or maybe both, in any case, the Heavenly Will now admired him.

Levi muttered to himself, deep in thought.

”Feast Beast, Star Cluster Brain... The entity created by this Primordial Spirit to counter the Nightmare World isn’t the current All Gods, right?”

The middle-aged man’s thoughts drifted back, saying:

”Yes, All Gods are not natives of the astral world. The strong beings truly nurtured by the astral world are only one kind... which is ’star beasts,’ or ’Star God,’ ’Star Saint,’ ’Star Language.’

In the early Ancient Times, all beings under the stars, whether humans, alien races, or various giant beasts, Dragon Clan, beings born of the Multidimensional Plane, were illuminated by the stars of star beasts.

Thus they countered the terrifying power from the Nightmare World, with all sentient beings sincerely believing in the existence of Star God, blessing, praying, worshiping it, developing the primitive rites of faith, initiating the original path of belief.

Now, these paths of belief still exist, but are extremely weakened; the vast majority of civilizations that followed this path have already gone extinct.

Partly because they couldn’t keep up with the evolutionary process of survival of the fittest, but more often, because they were invaded by another group of parasitic beings. These parasites divided the star beasts, stole most of the powers initially belonging to star beasts, and replaced them. They continue to hunt and eradicate the remaining star beast factions.”

Levi said, ”These parasites are now the gods of the astral world.”

”Yes, after arriving in Nora, I have seen some of your battle projections. You should be somewhat familiar with star beasts, right?”

”Indeed.”

”Good, this proves that the remaining star beasts still exist, just hidden away in places difficult for us to discover.”

”However, the believers of star beasts within the Multidimensional Plane are now extremely rare and negligible. How can these star beasts still survive?”
