Transforming Succubus: Almost Doomsday

"The next thing is the third event you know of—the Twilight of the Gods."

"Of course, there are still no details."

Baiyu had roughly understood upon hearing this.

The major historical event was essentially the era ruled by the King God, which was considered a golden age.

In this era, the King God suppressed the corruption.

The world seemed very normal, everything orderly proliferating, evolving, and developing its own civilization.

But afterward, the King God fell.

The seeds of corruption emerged, and maybe by then, the world had already begun experiencing various mutations.

But no one could say for sure whether the gods would use "self-adaptive memory" to erase many strange things from human history.

It was like the often-used meme—'the events of '99 weren't hidden well.'

Indeed, many such bizarre events might exist in human history.

Such as the truth behind the Black Lotus incident.

And with the fall of the King God, the soil of corruption gave birth and fostered many indescribable monsters.

These monsters were beings that could create rules, twist rules, and they finally found their chance—to ascend from corruption seeds to gods.

Perhaps what Sewing was searching for, Gods Treasure, its ultimate goal was to evolve into a being similar to the "God of Sewing and Devouring."

The second major event, during Divine Endowment night, many seeds of corruption completed their evolution.

They became new gods.

Baiyu remembered having once received some information from drinking with Lin—the new gods could not inherit.

Whether they weren't recognized by the old gods, or were outright ostracized by them, or it was about obtaining the inheritance...

In any case, the third major event, the Twilight of the Gods, had arrived.

As Baiyu pondered this, Dr. A said,

"Twilight of the Gods, I can't tell you much, but you only need to understand one thing—"

"After the Twilight of the Gods, there were no more divinities in the world."

"All gods turned into rules, they gambled in the form of rules. This statement is the ultimate answer to the Twilight of the Gods, how much you can comprehend from this sentence, that much you can comprehend about 'us.'"

Dr. A threw a bombshell, although he didn't think Baiyu could comprehend it.

But he underestimated Baiyu, who felt his journey had not been in vain, his eyes shining upon hearing this statement.

As if because of Dr. A's statement, Baiyu understood many things.

"So that's it... You should have told me this statement sooner."

All gods turned into rules, they gambled in the form of rules. And humanity, demons, seeds of corruption were just pieces in this gamble.

Demons and corruption seeds attempted to transform the world into a corrupted soil.

Humans wished to survive, to purify the corrupted soil.

Thus the gods, or "we," began a gamble of various rules.

The more Baiyu thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

The known rules, or rather the situation—

Humans were on the disadvantaged side. The forerunners were human force's trump card.

Rule one, forerunners will continuously participate in conscription.

This was both an opportunity and a calamity for the forerunners.

If a forerunner dies inside, humans will grow weaker, and the old gods also gradually become disadvantaged in this war.

But there was another proven rule two—

If forerunners achieved a very high appraisal, then it was the "old gods'" turn, among "us," the old gods could continuously bring some helpful version updates to humanity.

Such as props, characteristics.

Thinking this way, the previously seemingly contradictory actions of "us" could be explained.

Whether it was the various aids received by forerunners or numerous difficulties, or forerunners revealing some content leading to their elimination, such as exchanging version information, mentioning Advanced World to ordinary people, and so on.

Or after the defense mode ended, the original world's human memory was erased...

These strokes of "us," were not because the gods were alive, performing miracles...

But were set rules during the gods' fall, in that Twilight of the Gods.

The confrontation between old gods and new gods—

Was the confrontation of forerunners, with demons, and with corruption seeds.

But there was another question, why would it take the form of game version updates?

"I think I can understand your statement now, A, thank you, this statement has given me a lot of insights, I seem to be able to grasp the basic logic of 'us.'"

Dr. A didn't know what exactly Baiyu had thought about, nor did he quite believe that Baiyu, merely by guessing a riddle, was close to the truth.

Until Baiyu asked,

"Among the gods turned into rules, isn't there one that is particularly tragic, or rather... particularly attention-grabbing, is this god related to games?"

Whether it was the fall of the King God, the Divine Endowment night, or the Twilight of the Gods, up to the fourth major event—The Age of Lords.

Dr. A actually knew quite a bit, even knowing… not less than a traditional intermediary.

He revealed much to Baiyu, but also retained much.

He didn't believe that Baiyu could comprehend simply from a riddle he casually mentioned.

However, Baiyu's question made him wonder, could this kid really have guessed part of it?

It pained him somewhat, after all, the more Baiyu guessed, the less he earned.

Seeing Dr. A's reaction, Baiyu understood and laughed,

"Information like this can sometimes be very useful, but it also depends on the person. Your reaction has already told me I guessed right, so even if you keep it to yourself, I won't keep asking."
