And this ancient god in front of them had spent so much time alone in this huge multiverse; they couldn���t even imagine the mental fortitude that allowed him to withstand such a degree of torture.
They were unable to withstand even a single day without their loved ones and frantically typed in the God Chat to find them.
This they understood his sentiment towards his lost friend.
-Everything was going well for the gods,- Adam continued, his voice returning to a dramatic tone, as if trying to narrate a movie scene.
-We created life forms, learned about faith, collected faith points, and fought in the void against void beasts. We killed many of them, but their numbers kept on increasing. But eventually, we won that battle.-
-However, no god was able to leave their home, their universes and realms, and return to the void. Thus, the void remained empty and formed new gods every few million years, and void beasts every now and then.- Upon hearing this, every one of these gods became agitated.
-Doesn���t that mean the void beasts are innumerable and still growing, as the old gods who kept them in check have died?- one god, who couldn���t hide his thoughts, exclaimed loudly.
All the gods who heard him were aware of this, but they didn���t speak.
Adam, ignoring this grave plea, continued his history lesson.
-Everything was stable. Every now and then, gods competed to see who killed the most void beasts. Thus, the void became our playground and hunting ground. But one day, apart from the space that a god created called God space, another space was created.- Adam made this scene dramatic and showed a projection of this new realm.
The realm was in all different shades of red, but always dark.
It grew many types of creepy-looking plants and races.
Sunny looked at the projection and saw the realm he had seen with his own eyes.
-The Demon Realm,- he thought.
-We were unaware of this realm at that time, but later understood that it was created by void beasts to tackle our faith generation, which gave us powers that they couldn���t use,- Adam said, his anger towards the void beasts clear.
-But, they were also very weak compared to our faith resources, so we easily killed all the demons and demon lords. But no matter how many times we killed them, the demon lords kept coming back.-
-They revived again and again; we killed them again and again. At some point, they submitted to us and stopped bothering us, slowly beginning to gather their strength by targeting our life forms in a way that we wouldn���t notice.- ����������������������������������������������.������������
-After millions of years of surrender, a million years ago, they initiated a war on us and killed all the gods. Unlike them, we can���t come back after dying.-
Adam said this and paused for a few moments as he tried to remember each and every face of the long-forgotten gods, whose luster had been lost from this world millions of years ago.
-I, as one of the oldest and strongest, survived this battle and hid in my Realm of Advancement, locking all the space. And I only escaped when the demons stopped paying attention to the forgotten gods.-
-I found your planet in one of the universes and decided to use all the faith points of me and my fellow dead gods to convert you all into gods, to fight the demons.-
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
They felt fear thinking about this mission but knew that they didn���t have any other options; being a god was not something anyone could discard.
After this, Adam began to teach them how to control faith and life forms better.
His teachings were truly great and showed his billions of years of experience.
Sunny also began taking notes in his mind.
Soon, the three hours ended.
-So, the time is up for the teaching and history. Let���s dive into questions and answers,- Adam said, taking this Q&A section like a game.
Many gods raised their hands.
Adam randomly pointed towards a blond male, who was one of the top gods in his universe and also the one who bid 200 million for Aerion.
-Is the multiverse finite?- This question left many amazed and others dumbfounded.
-Are you too dumb? He clearly said that all the universes in this multiverse were created by the old gods, so doesn���t that mean it���s finite?- one god said sarcastically. Immediately,
many others followed suit and mocked the one who asked the question.
Adam interjected all the gods and said, -The multiverse you all are currently in was created by me. There are billions of universes inside this multiverse.-
Adam took a pause and then said, -Oh, I forgot to tell you that all the gods created many universes later on, after the first was completed.-
-I, personally, as the strongest, created the largest multiverse. If you were to try and go through all the hurdles without using any space wrap to reach the end of the multiverse, you would require billions of years to travel through it- Adam said as if just stating a fact.
-As a god, you would also require billions of years and trillions of faith points to travel just one universe. And there are billions of universes in this multiverse. Then there are the multiverses of my brothers and sisters, then there are billions of realms.-
Adam began to do calculations and eventually dropped the bomb.
-With your current pace of collecting faith points, you would require more than trillions of years just to exit my multiverse.-
Chapter 47: Ch 47 : Probing
Hearing Adam���s answer, all the gods felt a huge wave of both pressure and relief.
If the multiverse was this big, the chances of encountering void beasts were slim for them.
-So doesn���t that mean we wouldn���t encounter any void beasts for a long time?- one god asked, his question coming out without even asking for Adam���s permission.
But Adam didn���t mind this and calmly replied, -Not really, as I, God Adam, the firstborn of all the gods, made my multiverse nearest to the void, so that I can defend my fellow less powerful gods.- Adam answered with dignity.
Every god felt both respect and anger towards this ancient being. If not for their powerlessness, they would have slapped him hard on the face.
-Well, it doesn���t really matter if you are far away or near the void; they can teleport to great distances with ease, and by great distances, I mean universes,- Adam said, as if to create more tension among the gods.
Now the gods became accustomed to this god, who played with their hearts.
One sentence would make them sigh in relief, and another would fill them with worry.
During this whole time, Sunny didn���t say anything and just listened to everything.
Slowly, some questions were being asked related to the universe and how to create universes.
Adam replied to the questions one by one.
Then, Strategist asked one question: -What is your talent?-
The ears of every other god moved, and they all looked at Adam intently.
Sensing the gazes of every god, he felt that if he didn���t answer, they would bite his head off.
-I have multiple talents, like talents for magic, affinity for every element, immunity to all curses and poison, divine defense, and many other talents for attacks. And my special talent was.- Adam paused and thought for a moment, as this talent was his greatest secret. But he still said,
-Overgrowth. Through this talent, all my life forms had the chance to break past the limits of mortal life and become immortal.-
All the gods turned silent. Strategist���s eyes turned red, as if the thought of life forms becoming demigods resonated deeply with him.
He wanted this talent for himself but had no way to get it and sighed.
But suddenly, his eyes lit up again, and he hopefully asked, -You said that we are in your multiverse, so technically we are your life forms. Does this talent also apply to us, as we are your life forms?-
