Chapter 489: Reward From the Mother of the World

Artemis looked confused and asked, "So... what should we do?"

"After stumbling for so long, the source of the disease died at my own hands?"

“It always feels like I’ve done a lot and yet nothing has been done…”

Aphrodite smiled gracefully and looked back at the light that had not dissipated:

"Relax, now that you're here, why not let nature take its course and go find out for yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bright light completely enveloped everyone like a sea wave, and all sight lines seemed to be annihilated by white light...

...

After an unknown amount of time, Li Yang slowly opened his eyes.

What comes into view is no longer a small and dark underground world, but an endless white void.

Everyone regained consciousness and fell into this boundless vast space.

The ethereal white light flows from all directions, as if the waves are gently lapping on the body, feeling peaceful and peaceful.

"Is this...the origin of the world?" Teresa looked around uneasily.

Demeter nodded: "That should be true. However, what we are in now should be an independent space plane, roughly separated from the main body of this world."

"In that case..." Oniliyi looked confused, "What happened when the white light engulfed us just now?"

"It should be the origin of the world that brings us into this independent realm of existence." Aphrodite explained calmly, "The purpose may be to have a conversation with us and find out our intentions."

As soon as he finished speaking, ripples suddenly appeared in the vast void, like a stone dropped on the water.

Immediately afterwards, a magnificent and majestic existence slowly emerged from the depths of the void!

The blond old woman suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Wearing a plain white robe, she looked as majestic as a god.

A faint light emanates from the whole body, making people feel an inexplicable sense of awe.

"This...is this the incarnation of the origin of the world?" Li Yang widened his eyes and whispered in disbelief.

The woman nodded gently, and her tone was like an echo of eternity: "You guessed it right, I am the source of this world, the mother of all things in the world."

"Thanks to you unintentionally breaking the seal of the epidemic, I can reappear in the world. However, before that, it may be necessary to explain to you the cause and effect."

After a pause, she looked around and spoke slowly:

"This world should originally be a pool of still water, without beautiful winds and clouds, let alone any disasters."

"But, just like light and shadow, stars and moon."

"The moment I gave birth to life, a by-product of life, a force opposite to life, was also born in this quiet place."

"It is an extremely powerful, dark and morbid force. I named it the plague. It tries to control all living things and makes this new world suffer poison as soon as it is born."

"Fortunately, I discovered and suppressed its actions in time, but I was unable to drive it out fundamentally. That force is too tenacious, and I alone cannot completely remove it."

"So I can only temporarily seal it here and create my own divine messenger to fight against the erosion of the disease."

Oniliyi looked confused: "Your messenger? Who is it? Teresa?"

Theresa next to her happened to be confused and asked:

"Also, why does the origin of the disease have a similar face to Li Yang?"

The woman looked sad:

"That's because it is the product of splitting from Li Yang."

"My messenger, the only hope of the world, Li Yang."

Everyone was startled when they heard this and looked at each other.

"Yeah...even I didn't expect that the epidemic would be so vicious. In order to fundamentally destroy the world, it chose to parasitize on the pure life I gave birth to, and slowly grew and spread."

The woman did not continue to speak for a long time, but silently lowered her eyes and stared at Li Yang.

Li Yang was completely confused after hearing these words.

He is a time traveler...

In this body, he is just an ordinary poor boy.

How does this come together with things like epidemics and pure life?

The old goddess over there slowly opened her mouth and explained:

"In order to avoid being targeted by the epidemic, the pure life I created is no different from ordinary people unless certain special conditions are triggered."

"The only person in the entire universe who can recognize him is me."

"It's a pity that I am so ill that I actually have hope of transforming the disease and making it better again."

"When I woke up, it was too late. The origin of the disease had completed its structure and imprisoned me as the mother of the world."

"I'm sorry, my children, during this period of fighting against the epidemic, you are fighting against it with your own strength..."

"I'm supposed to be helping you, but I'm stuck in the quagmire and can't help myself."

"It ended up being a big mistake."

After hearing this, Li Yang and others suddenly realized.

"But..." Demeter frowned in confusion, "Since it is the matrix of the world, why were you trapped in that underground space in the first place? You should have supreme power, right?"

The woman smiled slightly: "You may not understand that even if I am the mother of this world, I only gave birth to life. I am not an omnipotent god."

"The source of the evil plague is the result of my fight against the power of the plague. It has accumulated all kinds of power of the plague and also taken away some of my authority. I can no longer control it."

"So, I can only be imprisoned by it in that underground space. If you hadn't accidentally rescued me, I would probably be buried here forever."

Aphrodite thought: "So, what are you going to do next? Since the plague is the opposite of life, as long as there are living things in this universe, it is hard to guarantee that it will not revive in the future."

The goddess nodded and stared into the distance: "All this will come to an end."

"No matter what the cost, I will make the plague completely disappear from my world!"

When she said this, the goddess' eyes became extremely sharp.

It seems that she has made up her mind to kill.

But it is unknown who this killing intention is for.

"By the way, before we go out..." She slowly stretched out her arms, and a warm energy emerged, like a mother's embrace, enveloping everyone.

"My dear children, you deserve the reward you deserve!"

Li Yang and others didn't react for a while, and they only felt a pure and flawless power pouring into their bodies!

When the warm energy completely entered his body, Li Yang suddenly opened his eyes wide -

Because he felt exactly that his power had made a qualitative leap in that short moment!
