Vol. 3 - Chapter 144.1 - Quiet Talk: The Three Creation Gods
Long ago, this world was ruled by three gods.
The Sun Goddess in the sky, the Moon Goddess, and the Earth God ruled this world, which was full of peace and tranquility.
Eventually, deities were born, derived from the sky and the earth.
They were the seven gods of light, darkness, earth, water, fire, wind, and thunder.
In the land protected by the gods, various races lived, but the humans, in particular, loved and believed in the gods.
And because the gods also loved humans, in turn, they gave them power.
That power was later called Magic.
The humans who gained power built nations and ruled the world in place of the gods.
In this way, the world developed.
From the time humans were born, they were given magic by the gods, and the world protected by the gods was peaceful and beautiful.
However, there were people who tried to use magic in a sinister way.
The evil magic that was created was called Forbidden Magic.
But they did not know.
They did not know that there was a price to pay for using Forbidden Magic. ......
So they continued to use the evil magic, not knowing that they were exchanging their souls for it.
Having forgotten the blessings of the gods, the humans who obtained Forbidden Magic transformed a peaceful world into a world filled with chaos.
An era of darkness ruled by fear followed, and the founding gods lamented.
... and wondered if it was a mistake to have given humans magic. ......
The gods cannot kill humans directly.
Because the gods made a rule that "we must not kill human beings."
Humans are lovable. Because they are precious children of the gods. ......
Thus, the gods of creation, who governed the sky, decided to end the Forbidden Magic.
In order to end Forbidden Magic, they must be prepared to kill humans when necessary.
However, this was not allowed for a god.
Therefore, the god decided to transform into a human being.
Now the question became, which god would have to do it?
The goddess of the moon in the sky knew.
It is she who must do it.
Because her own sister, the Sun Goddess of the sky, was in love with the Earth Goddess.
They must not be separated.
So the Moon Goddess moved in secret.
But first, who will be entrusted with the management of the Belt of Reincarnation, the system that allows human beings to be reincarnated?
Only the three gods, called the gods of creation, were allowed to interfere with the Belt of Reincarnation.
So, the Moon Goddess thought about it.
And then, she did something.
Aside from the gods, there were races in this world that had existed since time immemorial.
Among them were the Dragon Gods and the High Elves.
One of the dragon god races in particular had the ability to transcend time and space.
So, the Moon Goddess asked the Dragon King for someone from their tribe to serve as the god of time and to manage the Belt of Reincarnation.
The Dragon King deliberated. They do not wish for the world to be in chaos.
So the Dragon King chose a young dragon.
However, as he was young, he appointed one assistant to assist him.
It is his older brother, called Fanron, the Gleaming Dragon.
Thus, the moon goddess's greatest worry was gone.
And so, in order to be transformed into a human, she embarked on the Belt of Reincarnation and continued her endless journey.
The remaining deities both praised and mourned the Moon Goddess' decision.
In particular, her sister, the Sun Goddess, mourned.
Why did she go alone? When.......
But the Moon Goddess' sacrifice was in vain, and the gods' trials continued.
Someone had appeared at last to try to encroach upon the power of the gods with Forbidden Magic.
The Sun Goddess, having decided that it would be too difficult for the Moon Goddess alone, decided to transform herself into a human being.
Hearing of the Sun Goddess' decision, the Earth God tried to stop her, saying that he would be the one to end the Forbidden Magic.
However, the Sun Goddess was adamant.
She said, "I want you to become the god of both the sky and the earth, and join forces with the other gods to watch over the mortals until my sister and I can end the Forbidden Magic. ......"
But the god of the earth, who loved her deeply, was adamant.
She was the most suitable to remain on the throne of the gods because she was the most generous and gentle person who loved human beings more than anything else.
Against his refusal, the Sun Goddess tearfully sealed the memory of the Earth God as the God of Creation and the memory of herself from the Earth God.
And, instead of being the God of the Earth, he was given a new identity as the God of the Forest.
But the memory of Forbidden Magic was left intact.
She did not erase his memories of forbidden magic, because it would serve as a countermeasure in the event that she, her sister, and the other gods were deprived of their powers.
Thus, not only did she seal the memories of the earth god, but also those of the other deities.
If they were to regain their memories again, it would be when the earth god regained his memory.
Leaving everything to the earth god, the sun goddess rode the belt of reincarnation to be transformed into a human being.
However, an unexpected event occurred.
She was transported to a different timeline than the Moon Goddess, and lost her memory as the Sun Goddess, incarnating into a human named Marion.
The Sun Goddess, having lost her memory, had no way of knowing if someone who could interfere with the power of the gods was involved in this event.
But the human who was so happy to have been able to interfere with the power of the gods had underestimated them.
The very core of a divine soul is completely different from that of a human being’s.
The Sun Goddess has lost her memory as the God of Creation, but it could never be completely taken away.
The core of her soul still remembers.
It remembers that she herself was the God of Creation a long time ago. ......
Marion Lillier Grandeur was, long ago, a pillar of the God of Creation.
So, too, of course, was her reincarnation, Katariona Yurie Grandeur.
I am the God of Creation.
Upon finally arriving at the core of her divine soul, Katariona woke up.
She realized the reason why she had been transformed into a human being.
She had a mission to end Forbidden Magic.
If she could regain her memory as the god of creation, then the memory of the other two gods of creation would also return.
Was I the god of creation?
The god of the earth, who had watched over mankind as the god of the forest, also awakened.
The reason why he loved one human woman while he was a god was ....... ......
The other gods too recalled the days they spent with the God of Creation.
After a long eternity, they could finally meet again.
