"Applying what you said about prosperity leading to decline, we can understand the first impact as being caused by the reproduction of ancient creatures reaching its peak, the so-called prosperity, thus giving birth to the first impact and annihilating those ancient overlords."
"Humans appeared with the first impact, becoming the new dominant creatures controlling the world, then reproducing and developing until human technology reached a terrifying level, even touching the realm of gods. This also represented humanity entering the stage of 'prosperity,' and so, the slumbering Adam awoke, and the second impact occurred."
Bai Ye asked, "What does this have to do with the World Battlefield?"
Li Jiadao replied, "Why do you think the second impact only wiped out half of humanity?"
Bai Ye spread his hands, "Alright, I know what you're going to say. Please continue."
Li Jiadao said, "There are many kinds of gods, their reasons for being born are different, and their significance as gods is different. Adam and Lilith represent the origin and destruction of humanity."
"They gave humanity the hope of birth, but when humanity touched the realm of gods, they had to eliminate humanity without hesitation. This is the cycle of the world, the meaning of destruction and new birth, and a law of all things in the world."
"Flowers bloom and wither, people grow old and die, but withered flowers will bloom again in the spring of the next year. Even if old lives are dying, many new lives are being born. This is the unchanging principle of all things."
"Therefore, after the second impact, Adam disappeared along with it. However, Lilith still exists. Even within the World Battlefield, she wants to complete her mission. She must destroy everything and cause humanity to perish."
"She will even become more extreme."
Bai Ye asked, "For example?"
Li Jiadao said, "Everyone must die, including you, me, and him."
Yimi said, "I don't understand."
Li Jiadao explained, "Meaning, this was originally an issue within Lilith's own world. But now she feels this isn't enough. Why? Are you human? Is he human? They are all humans, right? Fine, then let's exterminate them all."
Bai Ye and Yimi took a while to understand, then cursed, "This is bullshit! I'm not in the same system as her, how can she control me?"
Li Jiadao said, "Then go tell her! Besides, if you were in your own world, naturally, there would be no problem. Gods can't just randomly jump between worlds, especially worlds with different origins. But this is the World Battlefield, isn't it?"
Bai Ye concluded, "The World Battlefield is bullshit."
Li Jiadao spread his hands, "Anyway, that's how it is."
Yimi asked curiously, "What about the Origin Stone? And the Life Crystal in his hand, what are those?"
Li Jiadao said, "That's why some dooms are caused by human actions. Lilith, like Adam, had been slumbering underground. But humans found Lilith, then nailed her to a red cross with the Spear of Longinus, which was used to attack Adam, and temporarily sealed her."
"Lilith fell into a slumber due to the seal, and things should have ended there. But humans extracted Lilith's cells and created a biological combat mecha called evA, which allowed Lilith to continue to exist in the world."
"One method is to pull out the Spear of Longinus. Lilith, with only half her body remaining, would regrow the other half and show signs of pregnancy. This would signify the continuation of destruction and the arrival of new birth, just as the first impact destroyed ancient creatures, leading to the birth of humans. Lilith would destroy the world by absorbing all life back into herself, and her pregnancy would foreshadow the new birth after destruction."
"At this critical moment, the World Battlefield divided the area where Lilith was located, preventing Lilith's body from recovering, and the Spear of Longinus was re-inserted into Lilith's body."
"Having learned from the past, naturally, no one would be foolish enough to actively pull out the Spear of Longinus from Lilith. However, this is the World Battlefield, a convergence of many worlds. Lilith eventually found a way to recover in the regions of other worlds."
Bai Ye asked, "The Origin Stone and the Life Crystal?"
"Correct," Li Jiadao replied. "These two items can allow Lilith to break free from the seal of the Spear of Longinus. I have also been tracking these two items, and the Origin Stone has already been confirmed to be in Lilith's possession."
After speaking, Yimi and Li Jiadao both looked at Bai Ye.
Bai Ye said, "Why are you looking at me? I didn't say I would give the items to her."
Li Jiadao said, "I actually knew the Life Crystal was in your hands after my last wish mission. Sending you to Penglai, Fanghu, and Yingzhou was for this reason."
"Huh?" Bai Ye asked, confused, "I don't understand."
Li Jiadao explained, "Chinese immortals are awesome. Taiyi Zhenren is willing to intervene and crush Lilith. No, Taiyi Zhenren doesn't even need to act. Nezha, Erlang Shen, or the Monkey King would suffice to beat her into submission. So, when you went there, they would have some idea of what was happening after seeing the Life Crystal."
Bai Ye asked, "Then what's the point of you coming to find me?"
"I was afraid you'd die," Li Jiadao said. "Who knew you'd enter those three places so quickly? Someone at the level of Ju Ling Shen wouldn't know about these things. It turned out to be almost as I guessed. You didn't even meet the big shots and were almost crushed by Ju Ling Shen."
"So, after I was taken away by Taiyi Zhenren, you didn't care anymore?" Bai Ye realized, "You didn't plan to send me out of Fanghu in the first place, you actually wanted to send me to Taiyi Zhenren!"
Li Jiadao admitted, "Yes!"
Bai Ye asked, "But your plan ultimately failed?"
"So, didn't I tell you? Gods are all sorts of beings. They have their own ideas, their own personalities. Not all gods are obligated to save all living beings."
Li Jiadao spread his hands helplessly.
"Taiyi Zhenren has no intention of getting involved in this matter. However, he at least resolved the hidden danger in Fanghu."
Bai Ye asked, "Hidden danger?"
Li Jiadao explained, "Among the immortals in Fanghu, there might be beings similar to Lilith. So, Taiyi Zhenren completed what he wanted to do in his original world, ending everything and causing all gods to perish. In a way, this is also a form of destruction and new birth. When old gods perish, new gods will be born. It's possible that the gods in that world might all become mechanical beings in the future."
Bai Ye said, "Alright, I roughly understand the situation. So, we are now facing the pursuit of a god, correct?"
