“When the Firstborn created us, the order of the Shadow Kingdom was not yet complete, they were still in the stage of exploring creation, and they were still a group of novices.

No one knows the origins of the Firstborn, and I feel like they may not even know it themselves.

They were born in Genesis. They existed before the concept of death was born, and even before the evolution of the Six Forces. They were probably the first beings born in all realms.

So they call themselves the ‘Firstborn Ones.”

On the edge of the platform at the top of the Ascension Tower, the eldest daughter Gristia, who was sitting cross-legged with a golden Kylian war spear, described to Blake the memories at the end of her life in a tone that told an ancient story.

She looked down at the gorgeous and heaven-like Castle of Elysium at the Kyrian initiates who were concretely tortured by the memories brought by Black. She also saw the sworn people pouring into this sacred land from the golden gate of heaven.

those.

She saw the extremely loyal DeVos and the famously brave Sandelia. These two saints she personally selected were flapping their dark wings and patrolling the sky without any sign of holiness.

But the eldest daughter, who was defeated by Blake's sword and should have been extremely desperate, showed a fleeting smile of relief at this moment.

"I still remember the day my brothers and sisters and I were born in Zaresantis, when we were crafted and imbued with souls by the Firstborn with unparalleled power.

When we opened our eyes, we saw a strange land and a group of creators who looked very excited.

They are celebrating their success. They regard our birth as a progress of ideas and a supplement to their grand order. In order for us to better serve the system designed by the First Born, we are born before our birth.

We are infused with knowledge and power from the beginning, but we still need to be taught like newborn children.

Like a chick emerging from its shell, we naturally regard our Creator as our father and mother and obey all His commands.

Even if we don’t understand it.”

The eldest daughter was describing the story of the creation of the Kingdom of Shadows in a calm tone. Her cold tone made it seem as if she was not talking about herself but was commenting on others from a third party's perspective.

Blake, who was holding a notebook to record these stories that had never been recorded in any way, reached out and interrupted her. He asked:

"How many people are there in the first birth? From your description, it seems that there are more than one or two?"

"There are many of them, evil gods."

The eldest daughter replied:

"They are high-dimensional creatures with special forms. I can't even confirm whether the image they appear in front of us is real, or is just a more advanced material projection.

But what is certain is that the Firstborn are a group and a civilization.

Their creation in the Shadowlands was just one of many attempts.

Although I don’t know the origin of the creation of the material world, I have enough reasons to suspect that the birth of the material world also has some connection with the First Creation.

But you don't have to worry about them.

The Firstborn are gone...and they will never come back."

"I believe this."

The evil god shrugged and said:

“After children climb out of the cradle and see the broader scenery, they will no longer have the slightest attachment to the cramped cradle, nor will they care about the various troubles they have left in the cradle.

What a bunch of irresponsible asshole creators.”

"Well, that's not true."

The eldest daughter looked at Blake with strange eyes and said:

"The Firstborn left something behind before they left, in Zaresantis and other places. They said it was a restart device that could rewrite all mistakes.

That was the last gift they left us. They said they could not resolve the conflicts and inevitable disputes among the six forces, but they would leave behind a piece of power that can give us hope in the worst of times.

They also said we deserved it.

Zoval just wants to get the power that can rewrite all reality, so as to realize the crazy ideal that is stubborn and weak...but he is not the first Eternal to pursue it."

"So, you were the first one to rebel?"

blai

Ke squinted at the eldest daughter in front of him who was extremely salty. He looked at this guy up and down and said:

"Is your Unit-1 destroyed for this reason? Why? Didn't you just say that you Eternals regard the Firstborn as your parents?"

"Yes, they do treat us like children."

The eldest daughter shook her head and said:

"But we were created to fulfill our duties, Blake. The First Creation did not give us eternal life just for fun. We are the executors of their 'perfect system.'

We need to create the most basic life forms according to the plans of the Firstborn in the originally empty and primitive Shadow Kingdom, and give them different growth environments to simulate the reproduction of different civilizations and races.

The Firstborn were trying to find a perfect system that would fit all civilizations. Their plans were extremely grand and would be revised based on new observations.

And we are their eyes and their hands.

In addition to us, the Firstborn also created many low-level prototypes to assist in doing some repetitive tasks. That was the founding era of the Shadow Kingdom.

And we, the creations, are in awe and call the perfect plan of the First Creation for the entire universe...

Destiny!"

Blake nodded.

This information does not exist in the game, but the thoughts about these backgrounds did not go beyond the evil god's knowledge. He glanced at the notes he had recorded, then glanced at his eldest daughter, and said:

"Then, those servants of God in Oribos who talk about their destiny all day long..."

"They are the original low-level prototypes, our servants in creating the era."

The eldest daughter replied casually:

"There is no need to doubt why they firmly believe in destiny, and there is no need to even think about why among all the Eternals, I am the only one who still retains the memory of that era.

I'm about to get to the twist in the story, so be patient."

The evil god didn't say much, he just listened.

The eldest daughter was silent for a few seconds, closing her body with her broad and sacred wings, feeling as desolate as a tree trunk blown by the cold wind in late autumn.

she says:

“The Firstborns obviously possess transcendent wisdom that we cannot imagine, but even they cannot truly lay out a perfect blueprint suitable for all life.

At the end of the Creation Era, those civilizations that the Firstborn had high hopes for and had persisted in countless civilization forms collapsed and died one after another. Failure after failure made the Firstborn realize that things were changing.

They began to meet frequently at the Holy Land of the Creator to discuss the situations they observed in different fields.

Soon, they determined that the evolution of this cosmic system had entered a new stage, and the six forces began to be born, which was the basis for the prosperity of the entire universe. However, the emergence of the six forces exceeded the plans of the original creators.

They also cannot predict the future. To introduce the complex concepts of the six forces into their perfect blueprint means that they have to start from scratch.

That is impossible.

The Firstborn seemed to know that one day they would leave this universe, so they began to modify their plans. They began to build their own sanctuaries in various fields, trying to connect the six forces of the universe together.

Zaresantis was built at that time. There may be similar buildings in other places, but I don't know more.

The Kingdom of Shadow was also pushed into the realm of death at that time. We were renamed the Pantheon of Death at that time. Obviously, the Firstborn were already preparing to leave at that time and called them Shadows.

The maintenance of order in world design teaches us.

Of course, the plans of the First Creation are too complex for us creatures, and we are not qualified to intervene in them.

We are just their servants.

But after the construction of those mysterious sanctuaries was completed, the Firstborn began their next plan.

After they created the world, they wanted to destroy it.

Because they believe that if they want the six forces to remain in balance and prevent the force from getting out of control and destroying the foundation of the universe, they must trigger a collision of the forces in advance and create a

Let the ‘Seventh One’ be born within a controllable degree.

That is the 'perfect power' that the First Born will create based on the Six Forces of the Universe. It combines the wisdom of the First Born and the root influence of the Six Forces of the Universe on the system of all things.

Once it appears, it means that the perfect blueprint of the Firstborn will be guaranteed.

That was their last attempt to realize their perfect plan."

The eldest daughter sneered and said:

"The Firstborn announced their plan to us, and it was the first time we rejected our Creator.

We were too young and naive at that time. We were responsible for sowing the seeds of civilization and taking care of it. Just as the first-born people regarded us as children, we also regarded those civilizations as children.

As a parent, you can let your children go out and fight on their own, but how can you ruthlessly kill your own creation?

We refused to fulfill the orders of the Firstborn to destroy the world, and they rebuked us for being short-sighted and unable to see the significance of the ‘Seventh One’s birth to the stars in the universe.

But we still choose to refuse.

The Firstborn realized that they might have given us too much wisdom and freedom when they created us, and they realized that too much emotion has become a burden on us.

So, they want to 'help us.

Guess how they helped?"

Blake shook his head. He knew the development of the story without guessing. This was a magical version of "Omnic Crisis".
