After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 111.2

This was within expectations. Aelioge nodded.

However, Inpos’s next words shocked all demons except Gusin.

Inpos said gravely, “Good and evil are material, thus they are controllable and distributable constants. When combined well with intelligence points, talent points, and power points, they can successfully create people who better promote civilization’s development.”

Morax couldn’t help interrupting to ask, “Humans were created by the Primordial God of Humans?”

Inpos shook Their head, “No, humans evolved and grew naturally, the Primordial God of Humans just had management permissions, able to adjust parameters to a certain extent.”

That’s outrageous. Basically like being an administrator of a race.

Buer was greatly shocked, “Wow… just this point is scary enough for demons, are all Primordial Gods this overpowered?”

Bachin pondered, “That’s why They’re Primordial Gods.”

Aelioge looked at Inpos, “Continue.”

Inpos nodded, continuing to recall. “At that time, the Primordial God of Humans discovered that humans’ upward space was blocked by an extremely terrifying will, preventing humans from developing freely, severely limiting both their bodies and spirits. The Primordial God of Humans wanted to know what that will was, but They had no spare capacity to investigate because under the background of the war of gods, They were really stretched thin.”

Hearing this, Aelioge’s eyes widened, thinking this intelligence Inpos obtained was truly crucial.

Inpos continued, “Later one day, the Goddess of Harmony, together with five other major deities, proposed [Otherworld Summoning Magic] to the Primordial God of Humans, wanting to summon otherworlders, letting these otherworlders unrestrained by upward limitations come save the humans here.”

“The Primordial God of Humans agreed, but They were busy at the time, so They handed the matter to the Sage Tower, with the 18th generation sage Freeman in charge.”

Up to this point, there wasn’t anything suspicious. Valefor analyzed internally while listening.

Inpos: “The hero summoning went very smoothly, finally succeeding on a certain day in history at the cost of a human nation’s one year of national fortune, summoning seven otherworld heroes.”

“Oh right, half of the national fortune was consumed by the magic array, half was used on the heroes. The masses elected seven people, the luck of the masses achieved great fortune for the seven, that was the mechanism.”

Aelioge couldn’t help asking, “The Primordial God of Humans knew the Sage Tower had problems, yet still let them handle the otherworld summoning?”

Inpos fell silent for a moment, organizing His memories, then said, “The Sage Tower was good at first, gathering human sages, later as everyone suspected, humans’ excessive exploration of wisdom finally attracted something evil, the Hero Wang Chang’er called it the Evil of the Universe. The Primordial God of Humans tried to expel the Evil of the Universel, but that thing was too bizarre, extremely evil, with strange methods. The Primordial God of Humans failed multiple attempts to expel it, later seeing that the Evil of the Universe was useful to humans, They gradually changed Their mind, let it be, and observed secretly.”

Really knows how to utilize things. Aelioge thought internally.

Inpos continued, “Later, after the Hero Summoning succeeded, the Primordial God of Humans gained another card to win the War of Gods.”

“Wait, what do you mean by winning the War of Gods?”

Morax caught the key point.

Inpos paused for a moment, then added, “Besides protecting the race, the Primordial God of Humans also harbored the ambition to win the War of Gods and make humans the number one race.”

That was truly ambitious. It’s completely different from the honest demon Inpos is now.

Aelioge sighed inwardly.

Valefor pressed further. “At that time, what was the Primordial God of Humans’ attitude toward the heroes?”

Inpos continued searching through their memories, “All humans were under the protection of the Primordial God of Humans, including otherworlders.”

“They looked forward to seeing the otherworlders’ growth, and were also very curious about them, wanting to know where they came from.”

Finally getting to the point. All the demons perked up.

Inpos’s gaze grew heavy, and said seriously, “At first, They treated all seven heroes equally, providing help fairly.”

“Later, as the heroes grew individually, gaps began to appear. Looking at their talents, levels, and combat power, They valued Hero Wang Chang’er and Hero Ye Qingyi more, while only having average expectations for the other heroes.”

“That’s quite realistic.”

Bachin commented sharply.

Inpos continued. “In the Primordial God of Humans’ eyes, Father was initially a very ordinary human, but somehow became a Creator class. The Primordial God of Humans had high hopes for Father’s class, after all, Creator was an unprecedented special class that might bring surprises.”

“But Father leveled up too slowly. When Wang Chang’er was already level twenty-something, Father was still only level two or three.”

When Inpos said this, a scene from that time seemed to float in their eyes.

Under the tree shade, Father watched the other six heroes in silence, with a trace of envy in his eyes that he could only hide away.

“Huh? That slow?”

Buer found it hard to believe – this speed was ten times slower!

“Yes, extremely slow, creating the slowest leveling speed in human history. Theoretically, level zero to ten should be the easiest to level up, but Father… was extremely slow,”

Inpos frowned and analyzed.

“It wasn’t that Father wasn’t trying hard enough, but rather Father didn’t even know how to try. Father’s system didn’t have any leveling guide or anything like that, everything had to be figured out from scratch, starting from zero – how could it not be difficult?”

“Indeed.”

Aelioge strongly agreed, saying, “Father was previously feeling his way through everything, and only recently started to figure out the direction of his class.”

Inpos’s eyes grew darker, continuing, “The Primordial God of Humans went from expectation to disappointment in Father, as They couldn’t see any progress, until one day…”

He paused, voice trembling, breaking out in cold sweat, as if what He were about to say was terrifying – merely mentioning it might lead to being watched, being cursed.

Aelioge noticed Inpos’s nervousness and placed a hand on his shoulder, encouraging, “It’s alright, we’re all here, look, Third Brother is here too.”

Vassago nodded at Inpos.

Inpos tremblingly raised his eyes to meet Vassago’s.

Vassago gave him a calm smile, saying with certainty. “What’s there to fear? Your siblings are all here, Third Brother will protect you.”

This promise sounded a bit childish, but it did make Inpos feel more at ease.

When Otherworld God 007 showed him that memory, he simply couldn’t imagine it, giving rise to countless doubts in his heart.

But then he came to his senses – how could he doubt Father who had given him life?

Inpos gritted his teeth, their voice seeming to gain more confidence, and looked around at all the demons saying, “The Primordial God of Humans saw that will in Father.”

Morax, being the most impatient, immediately asked, “What will?”

Inpos seriously answered, “It was the will that restricts humans’ upward development.”

All the demons paused.

Vassago was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe.

Aelioge and Valefor exchanged glances, both seeing the disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Bachin fell silent. Gusin seemed lost in thought.

Buer’s brain was so overloaded, she almost gave up thinking.

Inpos continued. “From that day on, the Primordial God of Humans discovered something wrong with Father.”

“That will could never appear in an ordinary human.”

“But no matter how They looked, or what methods They used, Father showed no other abnormalities.”

Inpos’s tone carried confusion, “They tried becoming an ordinary person to interact with Father, investigating and probing Father in various ways, but found nothing wrong with Father. They had considered imprisoning Father, using extreme measures to investigate him, after all, any clues related to that will were extremely important. But They also knew Father was the soul of the hero team, the glue connecting the otherworlders – if They made a move against Father, the other heroes would surely turn against Them. They had also thought about making Father disappear without a trace, but Hero Ye Qingyi was too perceptive and had the Goddess of Wisdom’s protection, possibly seeing through the truth.”

At this point, several demons’ eyes burned with anger.

“The Primordial God of Humans was caught in a dilemma. Their investigation yielded no results, while the outside world was constantly at war, leaving Them stretched thin. They ultimately didn’t move against Father, but what They hadn’t expected was that Arnold would make a move.”

Inpos’s tone grew increasingly heavy.

The truth was about to emerge!

Aelioge’s expression was serious, carefully listening to every word Inpos said.

Inpos: “When the Primordial God of Humans heard the news, They immediately went to the abyss. They didn’t believe Father would fall into the abyss so easily, but after searching several times, They indeed couldn’t find anyone.”

“Falling into the abyss meant certain death, if Father were an ordinary person.”

“They harbored doubts, but Their power was limited and They couldn’t enter the Abyss God’s domain, or it would anger the Abyss God if things escalated.”

Inpos recalled, “Finally They gave up the investigation. They never saw Father again after that. This is all the Primordial God of Humans’ memories and intelligence about Father. There might be gaps, but the general outline is like this.”

After finishing, Inpos felt relieved, only now realizing his clothes were soaked with sweat.

The hall fell silent. They were all processing the information, with different expressions and focusing on different points.

Bachin pondered. “Back then, the God of Luck’s attitude toward Father was peculiar, probably because They also discovered Father’s uniqueness.”

Aelioge: “The mysterious will that appeared around Father… what exactly was it, what was its relationship with Father, why did it appear around Father?”

The questions multiplied, and not just ordinarily so, making the whole matter more mysterious and far-reaching.

Gusin suddenly said seriously, “That mysterious will that appeared around Father must be related to the Evil of the Universe.”

Vassago turned their head, “That must be why the Evil of the Universe targeted Father.”

“Ah, did the Evil of the Universe mistakenly think Father was that mysterious will, so they targeted Father?”

Morax couldn’t understand the situation, his head spinning.

“Wait! Why did that mysterious will want to restrict humans’ upward development? What was their motive? What was their relationship with humans? Why didn’t they target other races, but specifically humans?”

“This is too mind-burning, I can’t handle it…”

Buer’s brain was about to explode, pleading, “Quick- someone explain the situation!”

Aelioge undoubtedly became Buer’s savior, organizing thoughts, “First, Inpos’s memories are basically correct, so the situation back then is clear – Arnold was the one who really moved against Father, along with the Evil of the Universe behind Arnold. Second, the mysterious will that the Primordial God of Humans discovered in Father was very likely also discovered by the Evil of the Universe. Father’s incident is highly related to the mysterious will, and so far, we have almost zero intelligence about this mysterious will.”

Put this way, it seemed a bit more understandable.

Several demons nodded.

Aelioge continued, “I’ll update the intelligence in the group later. You don’t need to worry too much about anything, don’t forget our most important task right now – finding the Evil of the Universe and making Them explain Their reason for killing Father. Understand?”

When saying this, They especially looked at Buer and Morax.

Morax still wore an expression of incomprehension, as if they had given up thinking.

Buer was almost collapsing.

Valefor nodded. “Aelioge is right. Although Inpos brought a lot of new information with many questions, what we need to do hasn’t changed.”

Vassago agreed. “Yes, speaking of which, I wonder how Barbatos is progressing.”

Aelioge looked at Vassago, saying, “Barbatos got part of the behind-the-scenes organization’s structure, right?”

Vassago: “Yes, I gave it to Her.”

“Good, let’s go check on the situation later.”

At this, Aelioge turned to look at Valefor.

Valefor understood immediately, “Bachin, Morax, and I will temporarily guard this side of the subspace, the rest of you can go back.”

Having many family members made things easier, there was even a surplus of workforce. Aelioge smiled, turning to Gusin. “Weren’t you going home?”

Gusin froze, then immediately said: “Yes, of course I’m going!”

Aelioge then turned to Buer, “Sister Buer, take Brother Gusin back, Father must miss Him too.”

Buer smiled brightly, confidently saying, “Leave it to me!”

They really didn’t want to follow Aelioge investigating this and that, their brain was about to explode.

Aelioge looked at Vassago and Inpos, “Come on, let’s go find Barbatos.”

Both demons nodded.

Aelioge could be childish when childish, but reliable when needed to be, Vassago thought.

The space opened, and without the chaos space interference, the spatial passage was unobstructed.

Just as Aelioge took a step forward, Bachin suddenly said, “Speaking of which, what about your preparation?”

They were asking about Aelioge’s preparation regarding Big Brother.

Aelioge certainly understood, his lips curving upward, elegantly looking back. “Do what needs to be done, my brain has already started calculating simultaneously.”

Bachin smiled. “Then we’ll wait and see.”

A few minutes later, only Valefor, Morax, and Bachin remained in the monitoring room.

Bachin was completely exhausted, their brain barely functioning. As soon as Aelioge left, He collapsed on the sofa, overwrought, his eyelids almost sealed shut.

Seconds later, Valefor’s figure appeared vaguely in his blurry vision.

Valefor smiled at Him, her tone as gentle as Father’s, “You sleep first, leave the rest to big sister.”

But if I sleep, you won’t have spatial powers, Bachin wanted to say, but was too tired to utter a word.

Valefor placed her hand over His eyes, magic power gently inducing sleep, “Get some sleep, you’re too tired.”

Meanwhile, on another planet in the subspace.

“Sister Paimon, Sister Paimon, it seems they’re up to something again!”

Ayni ran to the martial arts hall, her twin tails flying behind her head.

She pushed open the hall’s main doors, rushing straight in, quickly searching for her target, finally finding her Sister Paimon on the arena.

Paimon was practicing punches on a sandbag, each punch accompanied by sweat. She had a robust build, well-proportioned muscles, radiating a healthy and vibrant beauty.

Hearing Ayni’s voice, She stopped punching, grabbed the towel hanging around her neck, wiped the sweat from her face, then turned to look at Ayni below the arena.

Ayni excitedly shouted. “Sister Paimon, Chaos has withdrawn, let’s go back to the continent to check the situation!”

“Alright.”

Paimon was concise, jumping down from the arena in a second, then left with Ayni.

If anyone had been there, they would have seen that the sandbag Paimon had been punching had a fierce tiger head hanging on it.
