The Growth of a God-Chapter 465 - 13: Heaven-Reaching Ladder

[So, not only is the Yawei World itself incomplete, but even their Creator is incomplete?]

Reflecting carefully on all the information related to the Yawei World, Li Hao suddenly found himself feeling a bit at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

One has to admit, the original Creator of the Yawei World was indeed powerful. Even when their power was divided into three, they remained an entity of the Supreme God Level.

As for the reasons behind the battle between Enoch and Adam?

Even without delving deeply into their life experiences, Li Hao could easily imagine various scenes of grudges and enmity.

In fact, not only Li Hao was focused on this battle.

As the true masters of the Mithra World—the Mithra Gods were even more anxiously monitoring this battle that would decide the fate of their world.

"Is he... the ’thing’ those angels are looking for?"

Gazing bitterly at the battle occurring in the Mithra World, the War God, who had been silent for a long while, asked in a low voice.

At the moment Enoch and Adam appeared, the War God realized just how laughable the various plans they had discussed before were.

In the face of such absolute power, these so-called "gods" had no choice at all.

"If I’m not mistaken, they seemed to have just come out of your city, right?"

The God of Deceit, who said this, turned their gaze towards the still-silent Supreme Death God.

It was apparent that the Supreme Death God hadn’t yet recovered, remaining in a state of shock.

This shock stemmed not only from the power demonstrated by Enoch and Adam but also carried a hint of bewilderment and realization.

Clearly, the God of Deceit noticed the Supreme Death God’s unusual state.

The Goddess of Harvest similarly directed her gaze toward the Supreme Death God, her eyes filled with inquisitive meaning.

"Do you know him?"

Under the gaze of the other gods, the Supreme Death God slowly exhaled a breath and then softly explained.

"I do know him, or rather, you all know him."

"Mithra’s Holy King, the first Preacher, the one who shattered the Heavenly Ladder..."

Upon these words, the scene fell silent once more.

This time, however, the silence carried not only shock but also an indescribable tacit understanding.

The Gods were not unchanging rulers; they, too, evolved with the passage of time and the changes of the world.

The current Mithra Gods were not the original gods born in Mithra.

Aside from the Supreme Death God and the Goddess of Harvest, the remaining Mithra Gods were God of Civilization born from civilization and faith after the rise of the Mithra Civilization.

.........................................................

During the barbaric era of the Mithra World, savage gods held the world’s ruling power.

For faith, for sacrifice...

Those savage gods demonstrated their power to their followers in the most primal and forceful ways.

During that era, slaughter was the mainstream of the Mithra World.

For the sake of competing for faith and establishing authority, the gods even crafted the Heaven-Reaching Ladder to suppress and restrict mortals.

As the name suggests, it was a shortcut for mortal beings to ascend to the heavens.

Any mortal who stepped onto this Heaven-Ascending Ladder could begin the Ascension Ladder under the protection of their patron god.

However, being a shortcut, there were inevitably costs.

Those who initiated the Ascension Ladder through this method were destined to struggle under the authority of the gods.

Everything past, present, and future was predestined, completely severing the potential of mortals to ascend the Divine Throne and rebel against the gods.

Even for those mortals who, by sheer luck, were favored by the gods and became New Gods, they could only serve as subordinates to their patron god.

A God Subordinate differs from a Divine; God Subordinate shares the authority and is bound to the Main God.

The fall of a Main God would lead to the death of the God Subordinate, but should a God Subordinate perish, it would have no impact on the Main God.

Moreover, the powers derived from the Main God’s authority will revert back to the Main God upon the death of a God Subordinate.

In other words, the fundamental purpose of the Heaven-Ascending Ladder was a fatal shackle purposely created by the primal gods to better enslave mortals.

If this situation were permitted to continue, even if the sentient beings of the Mithra World developed civilization, it would not be considered an independent civilization.

Thus, a rebel was born.

Nobody knew where this rebel came from...

Nor did anyone know why the rebel possessed the power to resist the gods...

All the records within the Mithra World only documented the rebel’s magnificent act of shattering the Heaven-Ascending Ladder.

It is said that this rebel defied the pressure from the gods and climbed the Heaven-Ascending Ladder step by step.

In the final moment before his ascension, he unhesitatingly pierced through the God of Order at the pinnacle of the Heaven-Ascending Ladder with his spear.

Thus, the order that had ruled the Mithra World for eons came crashing down.

The primal gods lost their faith in terror, while newly born beings reconstructed their civilization amid the chaos.

The rebel who shattered the Heaven-Ascending Ladder came to be revered as "Mithra’s Holy King."

The spear he wielded was thus named the "Godslaying Spear."

As for why the rebel was also known as the "First Preacher"?

The reason is simple; after shattering the Heaven-Ascending Ladder, he did not vanish into obscurity.

Instead, the rebel led the ancestors of the Mithra World to understand the existence of all things in a way unique to the Mithra World.

In this process, the first sparks of civilization were ignited.

In a certain sense, the civilization gods born subsequently in the Mithra World were largely shaped by the rebel’s influences.

"If he is that Preacher, then hasn’t he lived for..."

The God of Fierce Sun, overwhelmed with shock, was just about to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth.

For he had realized that if Adam, now battling Enoch, was indeed the original Preacher, then he is likely a truly immortal being.

For such an immortal existence, Age is the least significant concern.

"What I wish to know now is, is he truly a... God of our world?"

Pausing with faint hesitation, the God of Wisdom asked. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"That is not important; what matters is that he is now fighting for us."

Before the present gods could ponder further, the Goddess of Harvest stated in an indisputable tone.

"He needs our help now, and we must provide assistance!"
