Devil's Son-in-Law-Chapter 1272: The Era of Gods
As a bystander, Chen Rui witnessed the birth of universe and life.
The original intelligent life evolved from the Book of Life and Death. Its name was ‘Extreme’.
‘Extreme’ had the most powerful power. It used the changes in creation origin and destruction origin to deduce and create the second generation of intelligent life forms. It led the second generation of intelligent life forms to continuously absorb and comprehend the origin power. At the same time, more life forms were also evolving one by one.
Various life forms appeared on the main plane and some other planes.
To be precise, the universe origin was the foundation of the creation of all things. ‘Extreme’ and the second-generation intelligent life form was no exception. At most, they used the origin power to speed up and guide the evolution of life forms. Even without them, creation would also evolve.
‘Extreme’ was the only life that evolved from the Book of Life and Death, possessing supreme power. At the same time, it also realized that the Book of Life and Death was the only existence that could restrain it.
For this reason, ‘Extreme’ thought about destroying the Book of Life and Death more than once, but the Book of Life and Death was the most original power left by the universe. It could not be destroyed at all, so it could only try to control or seal it. Just like that, the Book of Life and Death created a second life – the key.
The key was not an ordinary tool, but a life entity with independent consciousness, compatible with destruction and creation power. His name was ‘Lucifer’, which originally meant ‘the supreme key’.
Chen Rui finally figured out Lucifer’s identity. No wonder Quilliana called it ‘the avatar of the supreme key’. It turns out that Lucifer himself is the supreme key!
Then, what I’m seeing is the life creation of this universe. The oldest age of Gods!
Lucifer was compatible with the power of creation and destruction origin, and he could seal the power of the Book of Life and Death. It was a very powerful life form, not inferior to the second generation intelligent life forms.
When Lucifer was born, ‘Extreme’ used the highest law to limit his growth space in order to cancel some kind of potential threat. This ensured his strength remained at a certain level. It would not decline or rise.
After completing all this, ‘Extreme’ regarded the origin that brewed the entire universe creation as ‘Originator’. It claimed to be the highest God of all life forms from all planes without, that was the Supreme God.
The second generation intelligent life forms became the Gods under the Supreme God. They honored ‘Extreme’ as ‘Father’.
The Gods absorbed the faith power of various living beings and grew stronger. The lives were blessed by the Gods and grew rapidly. The life force of the entire universe was booming like never before.
The scene switched to another one.
A woman was walking in the garden, holding Lucifer’s arm intimately. The woman’s face couldn’t be seen clearly, but the aura on her body made Chen Rui feel familiar.
At this moment, an incongruent voice came from behind, “Rafferty, we are Gods now. If we walk with him again, it will damage not only your might but also the face of all Gods.”
It turned out that this woman was the Elemental Goddess Rafferty that Chen Rui had seen in the elemental world. This sentence made Lucifer clenched his fists. Rafferty still did not let go of her hand, but she said coldly to the back, “Heinks, have you forgotten the scene of fighting side by side with him back then? You forgot the help he gave you back then?”
“That was the past. The present is different.” The dazzling human figure said lightly, “Now is not the original era of chaos, but the era of Father and all Gods. The only rule of this world is power. If his strength can stand side by side with me like before, then he and I are still friends, but he is just an ant now. He is not worthy to stand beside you and me.”
“It’s ‘you’. Not ‘you and me,'” Rafferty sneered, “Don’t confuse me with you.”
Heinks snorted while glancing at Lucifer, “You can only deceive her for a while. She is a God after all. One day, she will wake up, and you, will have nothing!”
“If you don’t want to fight, get out!” Rafferty was furious. Her whole body was burning with colorful light.
Heinks was quite afraid of Rafferty, so he didn’t say any more. He turned into a ray of light and disappeared,
Lucifer gently broke away from Rafferty’s hand, “You don’t have to do this. In fact, he is right.”
In the beginning, he and the Gods were originally partners. Then, the Gods gradually became stronger under the power of faith, but his strength was always lower than that of the Gods due to restrictions. His identity and relationship fell apart step by step following the gap in power. The former friends became Gods whom he could only look up to; only Rafferty remained the same to him.
“You don’t have to worry about what that guy says. Anyway, he’s not my opponent at all. Since power is the only rule, I’ll beat him until he can’t speak.” Rafferty took Lucifer’s hand again, “Do you not have confidence in my strength? Or do you not have confidence in my love?”
“Although ‘Light’ Heinks and ‘Dark’ Sorenyat were called the 2 leaders of the Gods, everyone in God Mountain knows that ‘elements’ Rafferty is the strongest existence below Father. No matter what it is, I am confident in you.” Lucifer nodded with an awkward smile as he looked at the elemental goddess, who was more of a sister than a lover.
…
Time flew by.
In the same garden, Rafferty looked at the stars in the night sky with a gloomy face, “Father destroyed the Red Star Plane today, just because someone accidentally knocked over the sacrifice in the Supreme God Temple. Such a trivial matter, all beings on the plane are…”
“Why didn’t you stop him?”
“The one who came out to dissuade him first was Paliusu, the God of Animal Husbandry. As a result…” Rafferty lowered his head, “Paliusu was annihilated, and Heinks, who was closely related to Paliusu, was also banished to the Lava Plane.”
Hearing that the most hated Heinks was exiled, Lucifer was not happy. Rafferty sighed, “Father has become more and more arbitrary over the years. He does not tolerate any disobedience or even questioning. Even if we accidentally break the taboo, we will also be executed.”
“Taboo?” Lucifer glanced at him disdainfully, “The Red Star Plane and Paliusu are just having bad luck. The real reason is that our Supreme God is still brooding over the God of War’s rebellion.”
Not long ago, Crowe, the God of War, united several Gods to steal the Book of Destruction and the Book of Creation, and he used the power of these 2 ‘books’ to attempt to assassinate the Supreme God. It was a pity that the Supreme God was too powerful. He only suffered a slight injury. This carefully planned assassination failed in the end.
Rafferty frowned and said, “Isn’t the rebellion quelled? I killed Crowe with my own hands and took back the stolen Book of Creation and Book of Destruction. Father was very happy for this and specially rewarded me.”
“He was not genuinely happy, but angry and frightened instead. Today is the Crowe’s rebellion, and tomorrow it may be someone else.” Lucifer sneered, “He can squander power and God’s deterrence as he pleases, but he can’t tolerate others’ slightest disobedience. He even kills people arbitrarily just out of doubt, but he never doubted himself! If he hadn’t acted against the law, how could the loyal Crowe…”
Before he finished speaking, Rafferty covered his mouth, showing a panicked expression, “Stop talking! The elemental world may not be able to shield from Father’s perception. If…”
Lucifer slowly removed Rafferty’s hand and shook his head, “Don’t worry, I sealed the Book of Life and Death, which is of irreplaceable value to him. At least I won’t die. What I’m worried about now is you. You have shown amazing talent in quelling the rebellion this time, and you can actually integrate the origins of the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction… You seem to be his most beloved and best daughter, but now he doesn’t trust anyone. You are also the most dangerous potential enemy of his absolute control. Paliusu and the Red Star Plane are no longer the first victims, nor will they be the last… No matter what, you must be careful.”
“I understand.” Rafferty nodded.
Lucifer sighed, “Originally, I always wanted to break through the restrictions and become a God who is superior and worshiped by all people. But now I’m thinking——God, what is it? Does this world… need a God?”
Rafferty also fell silent. The 2 of them were silent for a long time.
…
The scene changed again, turning into a gloomy prison cell. The walls were covered with suppression enchantments of the supreme authority power, which couldn’t be broken through with Lucifer’s strength.
Outside the prison window, one could see that the sky was full of dark clouds and resounding thunder.
There seemed to be fierce battle sounds outside. In the next moment, countless rays of light lit up from the prison cell. The enchantment of the supreme authority power gradually disappeared under the strong light. A familiar voice sounded, “Lucifer! “
Lucifer was a little surprised, because it was not Rafferty who broke into the God Mountain’s prison to save him, but Heinks who should be exiled.
Not only Heinks came, but also Sorenyat and almost all other gods. They joined forces to break the suppression enchantment, but among this group of people, Rafferty was the only one missing.
“Father is completely out of control!” Heinks looked utterly rage, “I received reliable news from a god servant that Father wants to fully devour the power of the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction, then follow the example of the Originator to destroy and recreate an absolute brand new world. In that world, he will have no weaknesses. All current life forms, including us, will be extinct!”
Lucifer was shocked as he didn’t expect the Supreme God to be so crazy, so he hurriedly asked, “Where’s Rafferty?”
“She was imprisoned in an altar on top of God Mountain as a sacrifice for the fusion of the Book of Creation and the Book of Destruction. The ritual is about to begin!”
Lucifer’s facial expression changed drastically. He finally figured out why Supreme God imprisoned him. Not only because of Rafferty but also because of the Book of Life and Death, which could threaten the supreme existence.
He looked at the Gods and understood, “You guys want to…”
“No one wants to be erased from existence. If we want to live freely, we have to fight.” Dark God Sorenyat spoke up, “Lucifer, we need your strength.”
Lucifer frowned. It has been a long time since I heard this sentence.
As before, Lucifer nodded without hesitation, but this time it was not for them, but for Rafferty, and also for all the lives on the planes.
TL: Was wondering how Lucifer fell in love with a Goddess, so that’s how… Did he save Rafferty? 3 MORE CHAPTERS TILL THE END!!
