Chapter 58 - So That's What Happened?
The Queen's Lord had actively sought her out when she was young.
At that time, she was still a low-caste slave of a certain tribe in this world with a lowly status.
The price for the Lord bestowing her with abilities…
Was for her to rule this world and shape it into the appearance the Lord desired.
Actually...
It may be called ruling, but it was just being a pasture manager.
And all the living beings in this world were cattle and sheep.
At first, she didn't care. The world was inherently a place where the strong preyed on the weak. There was nothing wrong with that.
Until…
The objects of sacrifice became her friends and relatives!
The moment the butcher's knife fell…
Only then did she understand…
That the so-called gods were just a group of selfish demons.
Even if she didn't do it, plenty of people would.
And they might even do it more cruelly than her!
If she did it herself, at least she could let them die less painfully and take care of their families afterward.
"This is this humble servant's divine soul, now handed over to Lord Main God for disposal. This humble servant's life and death are entirely up to your single thought."
Her thoughts returned to reality, a fawning smile hanging on her face.
With trembling hands, she handed a piece of yellow jadeite to Ye Mo.
Born of lowly origins, she had learned to be slick and ingratiating from a young age.
At this time, if she wanted to survive, she could only offer her leverage and value.
"You’re quite sensible."
Ye Mo's eyes narrowed slightly, and he raised his hand to take the yellow jadeite.
It was crystal clear and orange-yellow throughout.
One could clearly see something like a flame inside.

"Good stuff! Doesn't this mean that I have an incredibly awesome thug in real life now?"
Seeing the information on this item, Ye Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath.
The reason it was defined as a "Six-Colored Divine Artifact" was perhaps because the consumption of using it was too great.
A mana consumption of 2000 per second, even a Level 100 Demigod wouldn't last 10 seconds.
But…
What did that matter to him?
What he lacked least was mana!
After simply scanning the item introduction, Ye Mo clicked to view "Heranir's" attributes.

"Top-tier Demigod?"
Seeing "Heranir's" attributes, Ye Mo looked astonished.
Among players, those between Level 100 and 130 were collectively called Demigods.
But there was also a gap between Demigods.
Those between 120 and 130 were called Top-tier Demigods.
The known Top-tier Demigods in the whole world barely numbered 12.
Countries with Top-tier Demigods holding the fort were also called superpowers.
Such existences were similar to nuclear weapons in Ye Mo's previous life.
They were deterrents that truly affected the world pattern.
Now, he could truly stand up in the real world!
"Wait! The one she once served was..."
Ye Mo quickly noticed four very conspicuous words in Heranir's introduction.
'Heavenly Cosmos Dharma God?'
These four words, Ye Mo could be said to be incredibly familiar with.
Wasn't that exactly the god worshipped by the "Witch God Church," one of the Six Saint Sanctuaries?
And what was the meaning of this so-called "War of the Gods"?
Regarding this, Ye Mo suddenly became interested.
"Tell me about the 'War of the Gods', be as detailed as possible."
"This..."
Heranir hesitated before speaking aggrievedly.
"Shackles have been placed on my body. If I reveal information about it, I’ll suffer divine punishment..."
'No, is this guy really a Main God?'
'Why doesn't he even know about the War of the Gods!'
"With me here, don't panic."
Ye Mo spoke concisely and comprehensively.
"Alright, My Lord."
Forced by the threat to her little life, Heranir had no choice but to speak helplessly, slowly recounting.
"The War of the Gods is the invasion and contention of territories between the major gods. At that time, all gods whose Divinity Level has reached Level 6 can freely travel through the major worlds.
They can even dispatch God Servants and God Slaves under their command to invade and plunder resources from other worlds! After all, the resources of every world are limited, and if a god wants to increase their strength…
Then resources and territory are essential."
Simply put, it was expanding one's ruling territory and plundering resources.
"However... during the last War of the Gods, a certain accident occurred, leading to the fall of a large number of gods and ending the War of the Gods prematurely."
"Accident? What accident?"
Ye Mo frowned slightly.
Heranir sighed and continued.
"At first, a certain god discovered a world territory with extremely rich resources.
This led to a large number of gods advancing, wave upon wave, wanting to claim it for themselves.
As a result…
The ruler there was very weird. Every time they killed him, even using laws to obliterate him…
After a period of time, he could resurrect with full status.
And his strength was stronger every time, to the point of being able to devour gods.
At first, the ruler of that world wasn’t powerful.
But with the characteristic of being unkillable, and the gradual increase in the number of gods he devoured…
The laws, divine authorities, and abilities that guy held also became more numerous, reaching a terrifying level.
Until...
A Main God fell at the hands of that guy, and only then did the gods regard that place as a forbidden land and stop setting foot in it."
Hearing this, Ye Mo was stunned for a long while.
He inexplicably felt that this plot was a little bit familiar.
'Holy crap!'
'The guy she's talking about couldn't be me, right?'
Ye Mo remembered that after ruling the world in the dream for countless years.
There were indeed a few guys claiming to be gods who came to crusade against him.
At first, he really couldn't beat them, and he was even killed by them a few times.
But every time he entered the dream, he could resurrect with full health.
At that time, Ye Mo also had a temper.
Just like playing a game, he was killed countless times, and he reentered the dream countless times to resurrect and fight again.
Fortunately, as long as he wanted to sleep, he could fall asleep instantly.
It was just that the timeline for each resurrection was stretched out a lot.
For example, his first resurrection took place in the 1200th world year, and his second on the 1300th world year.
Relying on his characteristic of infinite resurrection, he directly wore down those few "gods" to death.
After devouring the gods, his strength also rose with the tide.
As a result, the subsequent invaders weren’t so hard to deal with anymore.
Until that day, those outsiders actually formed a group to mess with him.
That time Ye Mo died many times again, but fortunately…
Relying on infinite restarts, he killed them one by one. As long as he killed one, his strength would increase greatly.
Until he annihilated all the invaders completely.
"So it turns out what I killed back then were really gods."
Ye Mo sighed helplessly, his mood somewhat complicated.
Rumble!!
Just as Ye Mo was pondering this, a terrifying clap of thunder suddenly sounded!
The sky gradually darkened.
A monstrous sea of lightning poured down from the dark clouds like a waterfall!
It was like the end of the world.
And within that monstrous sea of lightning stood a vague figure.
Holding thunder and lightning, it was a bare-chested giant whose eyes and hair were all covered by thunder.
That image looked very much like Zeus from Ye Mo's previous life.
"M-m-m... My Lord, he's here!"

T/N - Damn, so that was the backstory. The MC fucked up the last War of the Gods. The gods must have been infuriated with the MC’s infinite lives. Coupled with his devouring attribute, he suddenly becomes a very scary existence. I can understand why the gods left him alone in the end. By the time they caught on to his undying attribute, it was already too late to deal with him appropriately, so they just ignored his territory instead.
Also, I find it funny that the MC compares the experience to PK in online games. I acted the same way myself back when I played them. Ah, I miss those times.
E/N: We finally got MC lore. Damn.
