Chapter 1560: Chapter 967: The Path of Transcendence (16): My Lord_2
"Yes, but also not, however, it can be, or rather... is eligible to be."
Eve slightly frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with the cryptic answer.
And Rigdar’s words continued:
"My mission is indeed to resurrect the Creator, but... there are many ways to resurrect the Creator, and many paths to take."
"Sadly, in my design, the path initially chosen has already failed under your intervention..."
At this point, He smiled slightly:
"Since that’s the case, we can only proceed with other paths."
As he spoke, Rigdar’s expression grew solemn, and his gaze turned profound and ancient:
"Lord God, do you know the origin of the Segis Universe?"
"Of course, the Segis Universe was created by the Creator to restore power by collecting the Original Law."
Eve replied.
"Moreover..."
He looked deeply at Rigdar and added:
"It is the seventh universe of reincarnation."
Rigdar still wore a faint smile.
He nodded lightly and said:
"What you said is correct, but... it’s not entirely accurate."
"Oh? Where is it not accurate?"
Eve raised an eyebrow.
Rigdar answered:
"The Segis Universe indeed exists for my Lord to restore power, and indeed, the way to restore power is to nurture and collect the original law. It is also, of course, the seventh reincarnation."
"However..."
Rigdar paused and said:
"Strictly speaking, it wasn’t purposefully created by my Lord, but it and the previous cycles of reincarnation inherently belong to my Lord themselves."
"In other words... the Segis Universe is a part of my Lord."
A part of the Creator?
Eve was stunned.
At that moment, He suddenly understood more profoundly why King of Gods, Niou, and Lord of Eternity, Yteo, both need to ascend to greatness based on existences outside the Segis Universe...
Rigdar’s words continued, and His expression became more fervent and devout:
"My Lord is this universe, this universe... is my Lord."
"Similarly, all creatures in the Segis Universe are my Lord’s children, and my Lord also left His children a sliver of hope..."
At this point, He smiled slightly again, looked at Eve, and said meaningfully:
"Of course, this also includes you, Eve."
This time, Rigdar did not address Eve as the Lord God.
Eve frowned, slowly shaking His head:
"No, Rigdar, I am me, the Creator is the Creator."
"Perhaps it seems so to you, but to me, at this moment you are no different from my Lord..."
Rigdar laughed.
He then adjusted His expression and said solemnly:
"You have already reached the supreme, so... as a child of my Lord, you also have the right to inherit the position of my Lord!"
"The Creator is not only a designation for an entity, but also represents an identity."
"In other words, when you found the essence of the laws of those universes left by Niou and devoured it, you were already the master of the Segis Universe."
"Perhaps you have also noticed why your ascension was so smooth, why you so easily mastered the creative-level power, why when you devoured the abyss, the abyssal will did not resist at all..."
"This is because from the moment you became the World Tree, you were already recognized by the Segis Universe!"
"You... will become the master of the universe, and you... will also become my master, Rigdar!"
At this point, Rigdar smiled slightly:
"Lord God, do you still have any doubts now?"
Eve fell silent.
Moments later, He asked again:
"What’s beyond the Segis Universe, and where has Neo gone?"
Rigdar responded respectfully:
"Beyond the Segis Universe is my lord’s homeland, a place far vaster and more advanced, containing countless possibilities..."
"As for Neo, as the defeated challenger to my lord, He has left this world forever..."
Saying this, He spoke fervently:
"Of course, you are different. You are the World Tree, possessing infinite possibilities... You have the potential to surpass my lord; you will be the new master of me and all Abyss Creatures!"
Rigdar’s voice was loud, and by the end, He practically stretched out His arms, His fervent gaze towards Eve even made Eve feel somewhat uncomfortable, so much so that He believed if He could have goosebumps, He surely would have them now.
Rigdar, however, did not notice Eve’s discomfort but turned around and gestured several times in the air.
With His gestures, brilliant light broke through the darkness, one by one new steps appeared slowly behind the platform, extending into the distance.
At the end, stood a more majestic temple.
This temple was modeled like the Origin Temple and the Pantheon of the Segis Universe, yet... it was older and more weathered.
In other words, perhaps this temple is the foundation of everything.
Rigdar arrived in front of the temple, stretched out His hand, and traced several mysterious patterns on the solemn and stately door.
In the next moment, the temple’s door slowly glowed, runes of exquisite beauty illuminated one after another, and the whole temple radiated a dazzling multicolored light.
Accompanied by creaking sounds, the temple doors, which had been closed for an unknown number of years, slowly opened...
A heavy, ancient atmosphere greeted them, unveiling the temple’s interior to Eve’s eyes.
It was a solemn hall seemingly perched amidst the starry sky, tall stone pillars lined its sides.
This setup was not unfamiliar to Eve, as the former Pantheon was similarly arranged.
However, unlike the Pantheon with an endless void as its backdrop, when Eve shifted Her gaze to the sides of the starry sky, Her pupils couldn’t help but shrink.
The starry sky background of this temple was not a formation of endless void from a series of planes.
It was true void.
Those shining stars were all too familiar to Eve, identical to the cosmos of the Blue Star Universe!
"Eve, please come in with me."
Rigdar said.
After speaking, He stepped forward into the temple.
Eve hesitated a bit.
Her gaze fixed upon the sky resembling the Blue Star Universe, She paused in silence for a moment, then stepped forward as well.
The temple’s interior was grand.
At the end of the hall was a simple and ancient throne.
Eve withdrew Her gaze from the starry sky and looked at the empty throne.
A splendid Divine Scepter was diagonally inserted in front of the throne.
The scepter seemed to possess magical power, evoking a strong attraction and desire for possession; with just one glance, Eve felt as if She would be drawn in...
"This is the Creation Scepter, the former favorite artifact of my lord, possessing unimaginable mysterious power, and... it is also the key to my lord’s inheritance."
"Lord God, now... it is yours."
Rigdar said with a smile.
After speaking, He bowed to the splendid scepter, raised it with both hands, and turned to face Eve, slightly bending forward, presenting it reverently and devoutly.
As Eve gazed at the shimmering Scepter, She did not immediately take it.
Suppressing the impulse to possess the Scepter, Her gaze lingered on the temple’s splendid starry sky, taking several deep breaths to calm Her emotions.
Then She paused upon Rigdar.
Suddenly, Eve laughed:
"Rigdar, I have already achieved the Creator’s divine power, can transcend anytime, and even fully merging with the Segis Universe is only a matter of time. Why inherit the Creator’s legacy?"
She shook Her head:
"This scepter, I might as well not take it."
Upon hearing Eve’s words, Rigdar sighed:
"That’s truly a pity."
Right after speaking, the temple’s door... shut abruptly!
