The Awakening of All People, But I Opened a Fairy Pet Shop

Chapter 649 The root of the problem

"We have a lot of time, you can ask slowly."

Arceus nodded, calmly.

There's a lot of... time?

Su Bai looked at Arceus strangely, and automatically attributed the reason why Arceus said this to the special nature of this space.

After all, it is said that the human brain's thinking reaches the speed of light, and it is not impossible for time to stand still.

He thought for a moment and asked the first question seriously, which was also the question that he had buried deep in his heart since he got the system.

"Am I... brought to this world by you?"

Arceus seemed completely unsurprised by this question and said calmly: "Yes, it's me."

"But explaining why I did it is complicated."

Su Bai spread his hands: "As you said, we have a lot of time."

He has always had questions about why he came to this world and retained the memories of his previous life.

And... as a working man who tragically died suddenly while working... he believed that there were many such people.

Why did you choose yourself among so many people?

Because you are special?

However, this idea was immediately ruthlessly broken by Arceus.

"No, you are not special, at least you were not special at that time."

Arceus took a sip of tea and said calmly: "To explain this... we have to start a long time ago."

"First of all, what I want to tell you is that the will of the world is real."

"It's just that most of the world's will, or according to your previous life, it's called the way of heaven, has no independent consciousness."

"They will only run silently, and everything that happens in the world is just a passing cloud in the eyes of the world's will."

"They are high up and overlooking everything. They have no concept of good and evil at all. You should be able to understand this, right?"

Su Bai nodded hesitantly, that was indeed the case.

As the will of the world, it should not have its own preferences. Otherwise, the world is destined to collapse due to loss of balance.

Be it human beings or other forms of life forms.

None of these struggles should affect this level. This is in line with Su Bai's impression of the "Way of Heaven".

After all... Heaven is ruthless!

"But the 'world' is so big that anything can happen. Therefore, there are actually not many world wills with consciousness."

"The birth of these consciousnesses of world will is often accompanied by disasters that may destroy the world."

"This is a world's means of saving itself...or as you say, it is a self-preservation mechanism."

"And this kind of world will is actually very rare."

"Any world will with autonomous consciousness... may eventually grow into a being like me."

"In fact, they are the 'gods' in your concept."

“They are the masters of their own world, omnipotent, and have the ability to change everything.”

"But since as 'gods', these gods themselves do not have any 'desires'. This may be difficult for you to understand, but your needs as intelligent life forms have no attraction at all to the gods."

Arceus' words made Su Bai a little confused.

But I can still understand it more or less. After all, even if a life form at this level has desires, it should not be understandable by a life form at the human level, which of course includes Su Bai.

"The emergence of such a 'god' in any universe is a good thing for other 'gods'."

"We may not need desire, but we also long for people who share the same goals."

Arceus tried his best to explain his feelings in language that Su Bai could understand.

"So, once a certain god sends a 'help' signal, other 'gods' will often try their best to help this new 'life'."

"Two thousand years ago, because human war reached the upper limit of what this world could bear, the world's will awakened."

"Perhaps because he has just been born with consciousness, this 'god''s approach to dealing with things is very childish."

"This childish method has laid the foundation for His own disaster."

Arceus shook his head, obviously a little regretful.

In all the universes, there are very few places where ‘gods’ can be born.

As a result... the way the 'gods' born in this world dealt with things... was indeed not cautious enough.

"The power of the 'gods' is almost invincible in the local world. Often when this happens, the awakened 'gods' will choose to destroy the entire world and return everything to zero."

Su Bai suddenly understood and nodded, remembering the world-destroying legends before time travel.

If this is really the case, then those world-destroying disasters such as floods... aren't they also a kind of restart?

Even the extinction of species caused by meteorite impact...maybe it is also a choice of 'gods' under ecological imbalance?

The Great Dao is ruthless... The survival of living beings at this level of human beings... seems to have no meaning for existences at this level.

"But... this newly born 'god' did not choose to do this."

Arceus' face showed a rare trace of regret.

"He believed that allowing humans to use thermal weapons to kill each other would lead to the collapse of the world, so he spent most of his power rewriting the rules of this world."

"Rewriting the rules of the world is a very consuming thing. After doing all this, He chose to let mankind fend for itself and let mankind decide whether it can continue to exist."

"So, He divided the remaining sources of power into two parts, light and dark, and gave them to the two young men respectively."

Su Bai suddenly understood and nodded. These two young men were the ancestor and his younger brother, the second uncle.

So...the power of gods is actually so powerful?

Just a little bit of remaining power can have such a big impact?

"The level of power of the 'gods', even for the 'gods' who have just awakened, is beyond your imagination."

Arceus suddenly shook his head, with a rare hint of regret in his voice.

"Originally, according to His idea, whether the light side wins or the dark side wins, the fire of civilization will be preserved, and He can continue to sleep until he regains his strength."

"For the 'god', a complete civilization is also an important source of power. He may have considered this to prevent everything from returning to zero."

"But... He underestimated humanity."

"To be precise, I underestimated the child who was 'secretly' selected."

"About nineteen years ago, He found himself... being cannibalized!"
