The gods who had swarmed this location heard the words of the gods of punishment. All of them were shocked. This included Lee Gun, his Constructs, and the gods that had come to get rid of him.
This name had that much weight.
In that silence, someone let out a forced laugh. It was almost like a sigh.
[Did you say the Primordial god?]
[What nonsense are you talking about?!]
The forced laughter turned into anger.

[He was the king of the gods!]
[As it happens, he was murdered by those evil godsâŠ!!]
The Primordial god was the king of the gods and ranked above the Great Spirits. He was also the god whom the Creators served.
He was the one who had ordered the Creators to create the Divine world, the early Divine items, and numerous systems making up the Divine world.
The Primordial god had been tricked by Eternal Change and was weakened. The five great calamities had taken advantage of the situation to kill him.
âAfter stealing the power of the Primordial god, those five sold it to the monarchs.â
As proof of their fallen status for killing the Primordial god, their appearances had turned grotesque.
âThis was why we didnât bother interrogating them and immediately took them into custody.â
âThey were the reason the Divine world almost faltered and the Great Spirits went through so much hardship!â
What if one of those five was the Primordial god? The gods had a mental breakdown.
[Are you kidding me? How can you say such a thing? There is no way an evil god is the Primordial godâŠ!]
[Shut up. There is no way the gods of punishment would make a mistake in identifying someone!]
[...!!]
The gods who had come to strike down Lee Gun let out a cold sweat.
The gods of punishment needed to have the ability to control the power of the gods. This was why they could analyze their opponentâs power. Their assessment of their opponentâs power would never be wrong.
At this point, the gods stood frozen as they murmured amongst themselves.
[That means we⊠The king of the godsâŠ]
They couldnât hide their shock.
Moreover, the ones that they had tried to use against Lee Gun were actually on Lee Gunâs side?
[Master! Are you ok?]
At this moment, Yeonwoo and the Constructs with her came running toward Lee Gun. Yeonwoo had awakened and gotten rid of the gods who had spoken nonsense about punishing Lee Gun.
However, the problem was the evil gods.
[We heard the five evil gods converged upon you, so we rushed here!]
[Are you okâŠ.]
Their eyes turned menacing when they saw the enormous evil god behind Lee Gun.
[As expected, that bastard is hereâŠ!]
âGet out of the way, Gun!â
When Yeonwooâs eyes flashed savagely, Lee Gun stopped them. He held back their power.
âGun?!â
âMmm⊠You wonât have to attack him. I donât think he is an enemy.â
[Master!!!]
[What are you saying? How can you say something so treacherous?]
âThey say heâs the Primordial god.â
[Still!! Even if he is the Primordial godâ What?]
[What?]
âWhat?!â
Everyoneâs face turned pale, and they looked back and forth between Lee Gun and the evil god. They were frozen as if he was speaking nonsense.
[Primordial godâŠ!]
[Are you saying the Primordial god is with the beings that harmed him?]
They were surprised, but they soon realized a startling truth.
âWait a moment. There were five evil gods in the beginning.â
The five great calamities were the leaders of the evil gods, and there had always been five of them. There had been five aides who served the Primordial god. If one of these evil gods was the Primordial godâŠ
âWhere is the remaining one?â
Lee Gun laughed when he heard this. âOne went over there. She became the Zodiac of the Scorpio temple.â
â!â
He knew it since he had conversed with Scorpio. The Zodiac of the Scorpio temple used to be one of the first Creators.
Of course, Eternal Changeâs machination had ensured that she no longer possessed the appearance and power of a Creator.
âSince these Evil gods are all Creators, the remaining seat is filled by him.â
[What? The Evil gods are all Creators?]
The Constructs were shocked, and Yeonwoo had a realization.
âThat is why they were able to pierce through the Scorpio templeâs barrier.â
Scorpio was a Creator. Since the evil gods were of the same tribe as her, the barrier didnât register them as enemies. That wasnât all.
âThe reason the evil gods were looking for MasterâŠâ
The evil gods had escaped their prison and come looking for Aslan. They were tenacious enough to look for his grave. Was it because they wanted to protect their descendants?
Of course, it didnât matter right now.
[Wait a moment. If thatâs true, the story doesnât make sense at all.]
[Thatâs right. If the evil gods are Creators⊠they sold the corpses of their members to the monarchsâŠ!!]
Logically, it made no sense. It seemed the punitive force had the same thought. They were flustered as a commotion broke out.
[I doubt they would have gone as far as to sell their own⊠The Karmic debt from such actions would have made sure that they would cease to exist.]
The appearance of the gods with Karmic debt turned hideous. And when there was enough debt to crush the god under it, the god would cease to exist.
This was why the gods had an easy time finding the apostates. Deceiving this system was very hard.
[Then who killed the Primordial god?]
[Was it a false charge?]
The high-rank gods, who came as a punitive force, glared at them.
[False charge! Donât you dare say such a thing!]
The Great Spirits were the ones who had suppressed and punished the evil gods. This was why these gods knew the seriousness of this situation and were having a hard time speaking their minds.
In the end, they could only say one thing.
[Look at him!]
[Even the Primordial god became corruptâŠ!]
The other gods, who had joined forces for this task, let out murderous intent.
[Look here now. That makes no sense.]
[The Primordial god is the standard for the gods, and heâs the absolute ruler of the Divine world. If the Primordial god became corrupt, it means we arenât normal either.]
Silence reigned over the gods. None of them were able to open their mouths, except one.
âSo? Are we done here?â
[!]
âIâm the descendant of the evil gods, so they wonât kill me. Do you want to continue this?â
When Lee Gun smiled, the gods, who came as a punitive force, froze. It was to be expected.
First, Lee Gun was able to use Cycle, the power of the Primordial god. Next, the evil gods also possessed enormous power, and one of them might be the Primordial god.
âShit! What is this⊠what is this shit showâŠ!â
The only one relaxed in this situation was Lee Gun. He laughed since he finally figured out what had happened.
âI couldnât use my power against him since he is the Primordial god.â
Hadnât the Primordial god been the master of the Creators? Lee Gun had no idea how it worked, but maybe, something was left in his blood. It was probably a spell that disarmed a Creator if they tried to attack their master.
Of course, such restrictions didnât last indefinitely.
âAnyway, heâs the king of the gods, right? Are you sure you are allowed to attack him?â
[âŠ!!]
The gods froze.
âAlso, your king seems to be more on my side. Of course, I donât mind if you want to continue this.â
In the end, they could only bite their lips.
âWeâll head back.â
âAh. You said you were going to punish me, yet you are going to end it here?â
The gods lowered their heads.
[âŠWe are sorry! WâŠWeâll come at a later date...]
[âŠWe are sorry about invading the territory of a Zodiac without permission!]
The high-rank gods also lowered their heads when they saw the gods of punishment tremble.
Lee Gunâs Constructs were shocked.
âI canât believe they apologized.â
The gods didnât want to make a big mess, so they decided to return to the Divine world. This was too important of a matter to overlook.
Lee Gun laughed as if that was all he wanted. âYes. You made the right choice. Ah! Tell the Great Spirits that Iâll be visiting them soon.â
[Alright. Weâll go right now and deliver your words to the eldersâŠ]
âWhat?â
Lee Gunâs eyes flashed.
âYou guys better plant it.â
[Plant what?]
âHead.â
Lee Gunâs Death Instinct was released.
* * *
âWhat did you just say right now?â
âPrimordial god?â
Everyone in the Divine world felt faint when they heard unexpected news. They had sent a punitive force to punish Lee Gun and had been waiting for the result. So what the hell was this?
âOne of the evil gods was the Primordial god?â
All the factions had moved as one to get rid of the snake god. However, one of the evil gods who had to keep Lee Gun in check was their king! This shocking truth spread rapidly.
As this was happening, the Great Spirit of Kunlun feigned laughter.
[Primordial god? Itâs the thing that we planned on using?]
âYesâŠ! Donât you think something is off about this? The Great Spirits were the ones who stated that the Primordial god died to the evil godsâŠâ
The Construct nervously looked at its owner. The Great Spirit of Kunlun had tried to make Lee Gun his bride, and his appearance had turned into something weird when he was suddenly dealt a severe blow.
Of course, he had only now been able to regain a little of his original appearance. He smirked.
[Those bastards did something.]
âWhat? When you say they did somethingâŠâ
[Among the current Great Spirits, only four remember what happened with the Primordial god.]
âYou are correct. They are the Great Spirits of⊠Ennead, Valhalla, Eden, and Mahabharata.â
Only these four Great Spirits hadnât inherited their power. They had been here from the beginning.
The other four seats had been passed once or twice, at the very least. At most, one of the seats had been inherited over ten times.
It meant that these four were the only ones who knew the truth about the assassination of the Primordial god.
Soon, the Constructs surveyed their surroundings.
âWe must be cautious about this⊠If those five were falsely chargedâŠâ
[No. We canât be rash in coming to that conclusion.]
If the Great Spirits had falsely charged the Evil Gods and they were the ones to assassinate the Primordial god, there would have been signs.
âTheir appearance would have changed because of the Karmic debt.â
At the time, they had arrested the Evil gods because the evil godsâ appearance had changed.
[I have no idea what happened, but my predecessor must have done something with them.]
âW-What should we do?â
[We suspend our attack on the snake god.]
âWhat? Are you sure about this?!â
The Great Spirit of Kunlun put on a savage smile.
[I have a conviction that the enemy is the other side.]
Spreading like wildfire, the news finally reached the ears of the Great Spirit of Valhalla. Of course, the Great Spirit of Valhalla looked very uncomfortable.
[You are saying that one of the evil gods was the Primordial god.]
âYes. From what we confirmed, the Zodiac of the Scorpio temple seems to be a CreatorâŠâ
The palaceâs pillar immediately exploded.
Kwahng!!!
The God of thunder, who had come to give the report, closed his eyes shut. Then he continued, âIt seems Eternal Change was responsible for it. One of the five was turned into a monster. It was why no one noticed her.â
The Great Spirit of Valhalla laughed in contempt. He had wondered why they were unable to realize that the Primordial god was amongst them.
[Since the number matched, it had gone unnoticed.]
At the time, the Primordial god had been nowhere to be seen, but five evil gods were left. Of course, they had assumed that the Primordial god had died, and those five were the five evil gods.
âAt the time, we were satisfied that the Primordial god was gone.â
[That bastard Eternal Change did this rubbishâŠ.]
He had made sure the Creators couldnât use their Divine status. It made the Great Spirits miss what had happened.
[He always worked toward his amusement. That was all that mattered to him.]
The reason Eternal Change had invaded the Divine world on his own had been baffling.
âHe had heard a rumor about the Primordial godâs appearance, so he broke into the Primordial godâs bedroom.â
[âŠ]
âHe probably turned Scorpio into a monster for his amusement.â
The Great Spiritâs raven had a thought as it heard the conversation.
âWas it really a coincidence that Eternal Change turned Scorpio into a monster?â
Soon, the Great Spirit of Valhalla sighed.
[It doesnât matter]
âGreat Spirit?â
[Since the Primordial god has made an appearance, we should bring him here.]
ââŠ!â
[He is our king. Be respectful when you are bringing him.]
An odd expression appeared on the face of the Zodiac who had been giving the report.
[Whatâs wrong?]
âWe tried to bring him⊠But the snake godâŠâ
The Great Spiritâs eyebrows rose when he heard the next part. What the hell?
