Chapter 775 The Rediscovered Ones

"It's a long story, some of which I am currently unable to remember," Aegis of the Arctic Deity simply responded, sighing deeply. "But to answer your first question, yes, finding the remains of an Omnithrallian is nigh impossible. However, it isn't impossible if you look in the right place."

"HAHAHA! In the right place... Don't play with my words... The Omnithrallians are all dead; I watched it happen with my own eyes when they were foolish enough to wage war against the gods and trespass into the heavens, tearing their way in. Every single one of them is dead, with their bodies disintegrated back into nothingness. So, what do you mean by 'in the right place,' or are you just toying with me?" Aerialia responded, staring at Aegis of the Arctic Deity with a fierce gaze as though she wanted to tear a hole into his mind and learn every piece of information she needed.

Orion could no longer stand idly by and immediately stepped forward. "Aerialia, why don't I handle the questions from here," he said before shifting his attention towards Aegis of the Arctic Deity.

"Please, I would appreciate it if you went straight to the point. After all, we only want to solve the mystery behind Naka," he added.

Though this was the first time he had witnessed Aerialia display such fierce, crazed emotion, he strangely understood how she felt. Aerialia had seen the decline of the Omnithrallians and might have even participated in it. Unlike him, who had never met an Omnithrallian except one, if Aegis of the Arctic Deity counted as one, he had felt a long string of astonishment and confusion that left him speechless for a while until he had digested such an unbelievable piece of information.

However, Aerialia took a deep breath in and out to calm herself down before she shook her head in response. "Don't worry, I've calmed down. There is no way I'll choose to remain silent with such a significant matter before me."

Orion exhaled, then shifted his attention towards Aegis of the Arctic Deity.

Fortunately, Aegis of the Arctic Deity was as reasonable as he had been and nodded in understanding. "Okay, I'll try my best to explain everything in a manner you'll all understand," he responded.

"Before the 'Great War,' legends have it that the resources of various worlds of each race were depleted after several Epochs of constant use. To survive this, they migrated from one world to another, settling on one as their home and using its resources until they were depleted, then moving on to the next.

"At first, only a few races practised this, so it wasn't an issue. However, as time progressed and more races migrated to a new world after exhausting the one they previously inhabited, it became one. Even with the gods' intervention, there was still a limit on how much they could force a world to keep providing substance until it was destroyed, thus leading to the destruction of countless worlds."

"Unfortunately, this led to various races and gods fighting each other over a world to inhabit and possess as their own, which then led to the event of the 'Great War', where fifty thousand races and fifty thousand gods fought for the possession of this world after its discovery. Am I correct, goddess Aerialia?" Aegis of the Arctic Deity asked, his eyes fixed on Orion and Aerialia but mainly focused on Aerialia.

Aerialia nodded. Though he hadn't mentioned all the events that led to the events of the 'Great War,' this was still a brief explanation of what transpired.

Orion already knew about this information from Aerialia, so he wasn't surprised that it was one of the reasons for the events of the 'Great War.'

"However, did you ever ask yourself why you needed a stellar gate to cross into this world?" Aegis of the Arctic Deity asked.

Aerialia furrowed her words in confusion at Aegis of the Arctic Deity's words, "The stellar gates were created by the gods with dominions over space and time, serving as gateways connecting different worlds between universes. Universes are vast, containing myriads of galaxies, stars, and worlds."

"So, navigating through the cosmic expanse without a stellar gate would be impractical or even impossible for an entire race, akin to swimming across an ocean without a boat. So I don't understand what you are trying to say," she explained.

Aegis of the Arctic Deity shook his head in response, "No, that is not what I meant, goddess Aerialia. I'm asking why you or any other gods were unable to enter this world without a stellar gate? As a goddess, it should have been an easy feat, correct?" he asked.

Witnessing Aerialia's silent demeanour, Aegis of the Arctic Deity continued to speak, "Although I also don't know the cause as I was never able to learn why, however, I do know the reason."

"Then what is it?"

"It's a straightforward explanation, which I am sure you would have already understood if you thought about it, goddess Aerialia. You see, when the Omnithrallians declared war against the gods and tried to break into the heavens, though they were angry at the gods, not all of them were willing to wage war against them."

"And because they were given the will to reject or oppose the gods' commands, they could rebel and oppose each other. So, two groups were formed: those who wanted to go to war against the gods, and those who wanted to live secluded in peace out of the reach of the gods," Aegis of the Arctic Deity explained.

"They created a secluded world using the war between the gods and their race as cover, making their existence unknown to the gods who thought they were extinct when the war had ended."

As Aegis of the Arctic Deity spoke, Aerialia's phantom lips parted alongside her eyes, which widened considerably with each word he uttered.

"No... No... that's impossible!! The Omnithrallians were dead a long time ago... All of them are dead!!" Aerialia declared, shaking her head hysterically in fear and disbelief.
