The Growth of a God

Chapter 456 - 4: Destiny Weaver

During Gus’s process of godslaying, he was not alone.

On the contrary, over countless millennia, many insightful individuals had been secretly gathering power, rebelling against those mad gods.

The emergence of Gus was merely a catalyst, a spark.

In fact, Gus excelled only in slaughter and his nearly indomitable will.

Those who gradually joined Gus’s ranks became his brain, pointing out the direction and possibilities for him.

Especially after Gus slew the gods, how to reconstruct a new order became the foremost challenge.

"I will replace the gods to become a god!"

"If I turn into those mad gods, then aim your swords and spears at me!"

Gus, unwavering and resolute, raised his giant sword drenched in divine blood and chose ascension to divinity.

"I will leave my heart on the mortal realm; it will be my most fatal weakness!"

After saying this, Gus ascended to the Celestial Realm without hesitation, leaving behind a vividly beating heart.

The Celestial Realm is the source of the gods’ power and the location of that indescribable shadow.

Perhaps because of Gus’s stubborn will...

Or perhaps because he was the first unofficial "Divine Selection" in years...

Guided by the "Key," Gus reached deeper into the core of the Celestial Realm than any previous god.

It was neither some indescribable entity nor a god as Gus had imagined.

Surprisingly, it was a machine resembling a loom that had been silently influencing the world.

However, it didn’t weave silk fabric but the fate and causality of the world.

Because of the existence of this {Destiny Weaver}, the world, which should have collapsed along with the fall of gods and dimensional breakdowns, maintains its general structure and continues to operate normally.

Through the threads on the {Destiny Weaver}, Gus saw the fates arranged for all beings.

This included the destinies of the gods, the cycles of mortals, and even the image of giants.

"Godslayer Gus" was until now the only individual who leapt out of the {Destiny Weaver}, mastering fate with his own will.

Of course, this was not due to the ineffectiveness of the {Destiny Weaver}.

It was because the {Destiny Weaver} was without a controller and had some glitches after eons of operation, which led to Gus’s emergence.

From this perspective, Gus’s emergence could be considered an "inevitable" coincidence.

Even without today’s Gus, there would be tomorrow’s As, Kes, and the like, eventually escaping the manipulations of the {Destiny Weaver} and reaching the depths of the Celestial Realm.

The biggest difference between Gus and them is that he never forgot the responsibility he bore.

Unaffected by the lure of this "power to control the fate of all things," Gus stayed true to his original intention, approaching the {Destiny Weaver}, and then perceived deeper secrets.

This {Destiny Weaver} did not appear in this world by accident; it was deliberately placed here by someone.

Or more precisely, the very existence of the {Destiny Weaver} was to rewrite the world’s fate, turning it into a law-forbidden "Forbidden Zone."

Under the manipulation of the {Destiny Weaver}, all extraordinary power in this world would be maximally suppressed.

Even an Ascender who has opened the {Ascension Ladder} would not perform much beyond ordinary people in the mortal realm.

Only the once-in-ten-thousand-years "Divine Selection" could allow extraordinary beings holding the "Key" to unleash their full potential and exhibit abilities that match their status.

And only the best among these extraordinary beings qualify to become this world’s gods.

Despite this, those gods were still under the control of the {Destiny Weaver} and could only exhibit the abilities of a True God to an extent in the Celestial Realm.

In other words, the gods of this world were innately flawed and incomplete.

One significant reason Gus could slaughter the entire Divine Pantheon as a mere mortal was the inherent flaws of these gods.

So the question arises.

Why did the existence that set up this {Destiny Weaver} suppress the world’s high-dimensional power?

The answer is simple.

It was to imitate the environment of the {Fallen Area} to attract the arrival of the {God of Chaos}.

The existence that set up the {Destiny Weaver} somehow learned about the {God of Chaos}.

Thus, it intentionally mimicked the environment of the {Fallen Area} to create a law-forbidden world, hoping to lure the appearance of the {God of Chaos}.

Regardless of whether the principle and logic of such behavior are feasible.

Anyway, from the final results, the actions of that unknown existence were not successful.

Until it eventually abandoned this world and the {Destiny Weaver}, the {God of Chaos} never descended.

However, after that unknown existence vanished, the {God of Chaos} coincidentally appeared in this world.

In hindsight, Li Hao finds it challenging to determine whether the {God of Chaos} appeared due to the {Destiny Weaver}.

Regardless, the arrival of the {God of Chaos} indeed caused an error in the {Destiny Weaver}’s operation.

Thus, Gus could be said to have won a windfall by obtaining the permissions of the {Destiny Weaver} and the {God of Chaos}, becoming the supreme being capable of genuinely directing the world’s future.

Subsequently, aware of everything, Gus chose to disclose the existence of the {God of Chaos} to everyone, delegating its permissions to each wise life form.

To be honest, this was a method of utilizing the {God of Chaos} that Li Hao had never considered.

The {God of Chaos} possesses immeasurable transformative abilities, meaning every living being in this world could be considered an incarnation of the {God of Chaos}.

With the power of the {God of Chaos}, even the most ordinary individuals could break through the constraints of rules and embark on the immortal path to ascension into divinity.

Of course, to Li Hao, this seems like a behavior of forcing maturation.

Consciousness and morality hadn’t evolved to the height of the gods, yet the power of the gods was prematurely attained.

It’s like handing the button of a nuclear warhead to a child whose worldview is not yet established; the world’s destruction hinges on a single thought of his.

If not for the unimaginable capacity of the {Destiny Weaver}, creating a new world wouldn’t be impossible.

The civilization of this world might be destroyed due to certain individuals’ desires before it grows to a sufficient height.

Perhaps it is also due to the fear of such circumstances arising.

Gus guided the civilization of this world to continuously enhance its cultivation and moral cognition while firmly preventing any linkage with other dimensions’ {God of Chaos}.
