Chapter 1091: Chapter 499: The Flame Gear Mirage Beast_2

Although the cost of such an act would mean the annihilation of the Star Spirit World, it was still better than letting the Fools grow and replace the Divine Race.

"Was it the work of the God of Order?" Mu You asked uncertainly, looking at the Lamp God.

From the Kirin Arm sealed within the realm of order, it was clear that the God of Order had been involved in the sealing of Gusha and played a significant role.

However, Mu You was puzzled. If the God of Order did not wish to see the birth of Fools, why, before his death, did he have the Lamp God help him select a successor?

"No, the God of Order would never do such a thing! On the contrary, he’s always been quite pleased to witness the birth of lower life forms," the Lamp God stated emphatically.

"Then who could it be?" Mu You spread his hands.

"I think... it must have been the work of the ’God of Chaos’," the Lamp God muttered thoughtfully.

"Chaos..."

"Yes, as you can tell by the name, the God of Chaos is the counterpart to the God of Order. If the God of Order is the leader of all the gods of the Order System, then the God of Chaos is the leader of all the gods of the Chaos System. The two of them are natural enemies. To be more precise, the entire Order System and Chaos System are inherently at odds."

"It is said that the last eradication of Gusha was initiated by the God of Chaos leading a group of gods from the Chaos System. It seemed they had successfully repelled Gusha back then, but now it looks like they did more than just repel it—they even captured Gusha alive!"

"If it was this character, Chaos, who set up this world-annihilating mechanism without the other gods’ knowledge, I wouldn’t be surprised at all!"

After speaking, the Lamp God shook his head and spoke earnestly, "In any event, you must now quickly address the issue of Gusha."

"Among the Four Great Beasts of Catastrophe, Gusha is the most troublesome, for while the other three Disaster Beasts can only cause physical destruction, Gusha, a monster born from emotions, wields the power to manipulate the human heart.

Wherever Gusha passed, it brought not only natural disasters but also human calamities, that is, wars! Gusha can easily incite wars of faith among the gods, and during every Fear Season, wars are incessant on the ground. The Divine Race sustains eighty percent of its casualties during the Fear Season of each disaster cycle. Hence, the Fear Season has always been the most dreaded by the gods!"

"Is there any way to kill this thing?" Mu You asked.

"Kill a Disaster Beast? You’re thinking too much..." the Lamp God said with a chuckle. "Disaster Beasts are unkillable because they are the embodiment of disasters. They can only be sealed or repelled. Even when the current disaster cycle has passed, they do not disappear but merely retreat and recover to avoid conflicts with other Disaster Beasts."

"As for repelling them, even during the heyday of the Divine Race, it required the collaboration of hundreds of divine beings just to stand a chance against the Disaster Beasts. Now, in the Star Spirit World, there’s simply nothing capable of standing against it!"

"So, you’d better quickly reseal this thing, because if it accidentally escapes, the Star Spirit World really will be doomed!" urged the Lamp God.

"Alright."

Mu You nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation. He hastily returned to the game.

...

"Why haven’t you left yet?"

At the bottom of the dark cavern, Fairy King Oulenz frowned at several people outside the barrier.

After he had explained the situation of Gusha to them, these individuals not only hadn’t left but had sat down around the barrier and began discussing something in a language he couldn’t understand.

"Don’t rush, uncle. Aren’t there still some unresolved questions?" the Watchman said with a smile. "You said if the Bitter Mother Tree is the transformation of the tip of the snake’s tail, then don’t all of you fairies who were born from the tree become children of the snake?"

"’Children’ isn’t the precise term. It’s more accurate to say that we are the embodiment of Gusha’s power," the Fairy King stated calmly. "The Creator God periodically strips power from within Gusha’s body in some manner and then uses this energy to create the Fairy Clan. Thus, fairies have no concept of lifetime but only differ in the strength of their energy. Fairies born with more energy become higher fairies, and those with less are lower fairies."

"But it’s also because the fairies’ energy is connected to Gusha that if one side increases, the other decreases. If a fairy dies and becomes a monster, the energy originally within that fairy will return to Gusha. Once a large number of fairies die and the remaining number dwindles to a certain limit, the energy inside Gusha will break through a critical point, granting it the ability to break its seal!"

"Simply put, the Fairy Race and Gusha are in complete opposition. The more prosperous the Fairy Race and the larger its population, the weaker Gusha becomes. Conversely, as the Fairy Race begins to decline and the population decreases, Gusha will grow increasingly powerful.

This is also why, after Gusha awoke, the Bitter Mother Tree immediately stopped growing: only by cutting off the route of fairy births could the Fairy Race population continue to decrease, allowing Gusha to slowly accumulate power!"

"The number of fairies is that important, huh..."

The Watchman looked curiously at the Fairy King, "But what about during the Great Cataclysm? Doesn’t the Great Cataclysm eliminate all the races of the Star Spirit World first? Would Gusha not then gain all the power directly?"

"You actually know about the Great Cataclysm?" The Fairy King looked at the Watchman in surprise, but remembering that he was a Fool, felt reassured and shook his head saying, "The Fairy Race will not be destroyed during the Great Cataclysm, because the Bitter Garden inherently possesses the ability to help its inhabitants avoid the Great Cataclysm. However, throughout the process of the Great Cataclysm, all fairy memories will be reset, and after the Great Cataclysm is over, everything will start again..."
