My Wives Are Too Overpowered

Chapter 68 Alex’s Reason For Reincarnation (1/2)





Having no answer, God said gently, "wise sage, I may be the Source of all Wisdom, but I am not Wisdom. I, the overseer of cosmic balance, find myself humbled by the profundity of your question. The answer you seek, I do not possess."

The wise sage was shocked and unknowingly turned his head up to look at God.

God's expression was still calm despite watching his devotee's shocked face.

Being the universe's Sovereign Ruler and not possessing an answer was surely a shocking matter, one that, if known by his devotees, would shake the faith of everyone to their core.

However, this situation of him not knowing an answer was not out of character. 

The Preserver, as he had mentioned, wasn't Wisdom itself. He did not possess the answers to everything and this…

This was a symbolic message to the entire universe talking about humility and interconnectedness.

God did have an answer to this question, but it was his own opinion.

Whatever he said would be the eternal truth, however, he didn't want to give his curious devotee just anything.

This profound question was something that only one person would have an answer to, that being, Wisdom herself.

God would need to consult with Wisdom and this was what the message about interconnectedness was.

One shouldn't always walk alone on a path. Seeking guidance and taking help for the pursuit of their knowledge was not something shameful.

If God can take help of others, why shouldn't the rest of the beings not do it?

It wasn't wrong as knowledge was vast and complex. 

God, with his gentle expression, said to the wise sage, "oh devotee, do not be disheartened, for your curiosity shall be fulfilled. Go back and continue to be in the pursuit of wisdom, I'll call you when I have an answer."

The wise sage bowed in front of God. "As you wish, oh divine one."

God then handed the wise sage a token.

"If you find yourself in unrest some day due to this question, and I haven't called you back yet… this token shall be your guide to Wisdom. Your all queries will be fulfilled by her."

The wise sage replied, "Dear God, this devotee shall wait until your call. I do not wish to seek the answer from anyone else but you."

God smiled and after giving him a blessing, sent him back to the physical plane.

Once the wise sage was gone, two divine Goddesses appeared beside God.

They were so beautiful that just to even think of looking at them felt blasphemous or rather, afraid. Afraid to even look at them as it might end up tainting their godly auras.

The two Goddesses were in majestic white and red robes respectively.

One had silver hair, blue eyes and the other had black hair, red eyes.

These two… 

They were none other than Melissa and Scarlett!

These three beings, they were the highest authority of the entire cosmos, the Supreme Entities above whom was no one else.

The white-haired Goddess, Melissa, was the Creator herself whereas Scarlett was the complete opposite of Melissa — the Destroyer.

As for God, him being no one else but Alexander, was the balance between the two — the Preserver.

"Honey, do you really not know the answer?" Melissa asked in a soft tone as she hugged him from the side.

Alex looked at her and said calmly, "I do and I don't. My humility says something, my heart says something, and my intuition says something completely different. I have three answers, and I cannot figure out which is correct."

Scarlett, with a neutral expression, came to the other side of Alex and hugged him.

"Dear, if you do not know or cannot figure it out, why not go to Athena?" Scarlett asked.

Alex shook his head. "My dear, the answer I'll get from Athena may not be something I would like. I've decided that I'll find the answer myself. For that, I must go to the mortal world."

Melissa seemed confused by this. "Why would you do that? Can you not see, feel, and know everything about mortals from here?"

Alex nodded his head and then shook it again. 

"My dear, from here, I see all beings through the eyes of the Sovereign Ruler. This perspective is what guided me to having three answers."

"I see." Melissa said softly.

Scarlett, from the side, smiled and pulling Alex's cheek, said, "well, well, well, it's good that you've decided to visit the mortal world. It was me who was going to do it, but it seems like I won't have the need anymore."

"Hmm?" Alex looked at her and wondered what she was saying.

Scarlett broke the hug and walking to the edge of the hall, gazed at the vast starry cosmos.

"There's a path, darling. A path that breaks away from normalcy. A path full of independence yet extreme challenges. This path… I only just discovered it when I was in deep meditation."

Scarlett then turned around and went towards Alex.

"There are an infinite number of beings and infinite possibilities. However, to reach Godhood, there's not an infinite number of paths, but a select few. Almost all paths have something connected to Gods, which is nothing but dependency."

Alex didn't understand what his wife was trying to say or was getting at.

Scarlett could guess this and put it in more simple terms.

"What I am trying to say is that there needs to be an independent path. A path where there's no reliance on anyone else but themselves. This was what I had thought of when meditating. And then, do you know what happened?" Scarlett asked with a smile.

"What happened?" It was Melissa who asked this time.

Scarlett chuckled and said, "I thought how come there's no such independent path? That shouldn't be the case."

Scarlett walked towards Melissa and flung her arms around her shoulder.

She then pulled Melissa's cheek and said, "my cute sister probably isn't stupid enough to have not put such a path during the creation of everything."

"Thinking this, I searched for such a path and then actually ended up finding it."

Melissa didn't know whether she should feel offended or proud of her work. She was genuinely confused and kept thinking about it.

Meanwhile, Alex asked with an interested look, "what's that?"

Scarlett let go of Melissa and let out a big sigh. 

"It's really pitiful. The path I found, that is. You know, ever since creation itself, Gods have been reincarnating into mortal worlds and doing things to show and set an example of how to properly live, right?"

Alex nodded his head. 

"This thing had actually caused many to just look up to Gods. These ones who became great devotees, they ascended through worship and many eventually became deities. However…"

Scarlett snapped her finger and below the three appeared the physical realm where people were doing their things.

Pointing at some people who were destroying the idols of Gods, Scarlett continued, 

"…these children, they got lost. They do not believe in any concept of God and are pure atheists. Without any dependence, they were not able to find any path to Godhood."

Scarlett snapped her finger again and an old man who was meditating appeared in the picture.

"The independent path led to what they thought was immortality, but as you can see from their lifespans, it's not infinite, which is the literal meaning of immortality. It's finite, but really enormous."

Scarlett snapped her finger again and a youthful person appeared on the screen.

"Now look at this person, she is a true immortal, but…"

SLASH!

Someone with a spellbound katana chopped off the person into a million pieces and then trapped everything into separate containers bound with various talismans.

The pieces were then spread across the universe.

"…but her karma was bad. Due to cause and effect, all the bad things she had done, it came to bite her back and she never was able to ascend."

Scarlett then snapped her finger again and the hall was back to normal. 

She turned to face Alex and said, "what I am trying to say here is that there had been no God who showed a path of independence to these beings. Even if they tried, they could not ascend to Godhood no matter what."

"It's about time someone showed them how to properly walk on such an independent path that the Creator had made so meticulously. I was greatly surprised when I saw Mel-chan's thoughtful creation. I didn't know she would be able to craft something so good."

Melissa felt happy with the praise and forgave Scarlett's stupid comment from before. 

Scarlett then continued saying that this was it, the independent path which she would show to everyone and guide them.

However, right at the time she had such a thought, Alex had already decided to go to the mortal world and this made Scarlett take a step back.

"Darling, although I could do this thing, since you're already going down, I want you to show them this." Scarlett said with a smile.

Whatever Scarlett had talked about for so long, it made sense to Alex. But her last comment left him confused and he asked, "Why me? You could reincarnate along with me and do your thing while I do mine?"

Scarlett shook her head and hands. "That's not possible. You're the most perfect being, whatever you do, will be perfect. This… this would act as a great example and a guide to everybody."

It may seem as flattery, but it wasn't. The God Alex was, he was indeed the most perfect being to exist.

Melissa agreed with Scarlett on this and said, "she is right, honey. You'll be much better in going through this path than her."

Alex smiled awkwardly and said, "all of that is okay… but I don't understand… What path are you guys even talking about? I know everything about Creation and Destruction, but I don't understand, which thing are you guys referring to? Which path among them all?"

"Ah…" Melissa and Scarlett chuckled hearing that.

The two turned to Alex and said with smiles on their faces, "it's of course…"

"…The Gene Path."
