Chapter 793 Reincarnation
Vovadas perfectly embodies the meaning of a life filled with misfortune.

He relinquished all the spoils of war within the Dream Realm after the war ended, taking on the responsibility for the future.

However, when the outer space began to offer faith to this Watcher, the gods protected within the Dream Realm considered it a grave act of betrayal.

"He was bewitched by the stars."

“His long gaze caused him to lose his way.”

"To forget what the stars have done for us is a grave sin."

"The races on other stars are offering Him their faith, so when the next calamity befalls the stars, which side will He stand on?"

"No god can gaze at the stars forever and remain pure of heart, none..."

...

Vovadas paid the price for his actions, and that price was his own life.

The ancient inscription on the back of the throne reads: "In the war against the Great Old Ones who had banished the stars, Vovados sacrificed everything for His followers and His people. His deeds shall be sung for eternity."

...

From the perspective of the undead, such a scene does indeed occur at the end of their lives, but it is fragmented and chaotic, and the content of their memories becomes incomplete, just like the other subsequent Vovados.

It is true that He confronts all the banished Old Days in outer space.

Those were all the Great Old Ones who stood on the side of the external gods in the battle of the stars...

Contrary to what the inscription says, Vovados did not die in that battle; in fact, he won a Pyrrhic victory.

However, in that battle, none of His followers and kin survived on the outer star system; they were all slaughtered.

...

The final scene of the first Worvados's memory is him walking alone on a broken planet.

The rivers there are the viscous slurry formed from the churned remains of His retinue, and the mountains are the piled-up bones of the Watchman's believers.

Standing on the mountains and rivers are sculptures of all the Vovadas with their heads smashed.

...

Surrounded by these sculptures, Vovadaus ultimately failed to receive His salvation.

He collapsed, exhausted.

……

The original story's perspective on the undead ends here.

His life certainly didn't end at that moment, otherwise his body wouldn't be in the Muta now. It's just that the memories from the perspective of the dead only lasted up to that stage, and what happened afterward is impossible to verify.

From the perspective of the undead, Worvados doesn't seem to possess much divinity; in Milo's view, He is more like a living, breathing human being.

Perhaps it was precisely these human traits that should not have appeared in his heart that harmed him.

Who can explain why those sealed and banished ancient armies suddenly gathered? And who slaughtered all the followers of Vovados in outer space?

Milo had a rough idea in his mind, an idea that was somewhat crazy, but in his view it was the most reasonable explanation.

The words that Igor, the father of the serpents, had spoken to Milo before leaving the underground echoed in his mind once more—

"Everything has a source, but that source is not in my snake-people race, nor in this eerie murmur."

"Remember, once the stars and the outer realms are involved, the dream gods themselves are the most likely to become hysterical."

...

If there is anything that can connect these individual Vovardaus, the only thing Milo can think of is the sculpture with its shattered head.

The first, second, third, and fourth generations... the same thing has happened both on the snake-people race of Mu Continent and on a certain planetary plane of Betelgeuse.

...

At this moment, Milo recalled what he had seen and heard from the perspective of the undead in the Hip-Hi Castle.

Those were the words that Vovadas had said to him—

"You are also Nyarlathotep's representative in the human world..."

"He always acts solely on a fickle whim, following his own heart..."

"And you, who think yourself so clear-headed, are unaware that you are merely one of His many pawns..."

"All those things you thought were... conspiracies and battles, in the end, were nothing more than... fulfilling some sudden whim of His..."

"I thought the key to breaking the deadlock lay with you..."

"...Now it seems that perhaps the Watchers don't even have the right to break the deadlock..."

"Perhaps, my father had already destroyed everything I had..."

……

The answer is already right in front of us, it's just not explicitly stated.

Previously, Milo was wondering what Nordens, the great lord of the dream gods, was doing, watching helplessly as his descendants' lineage and sect were wiped out, and he died and his faith vanished.

But now it seems that perhaps the most justifiable reason to do these things is actually...

...

The first generation died just like that.

The subsequent second and third generation undead only showed chaotic fragments. So, what could prove all these speculations might lie in the mind of the fourth generation, who was just buried.

The only certainty is that there was not just one Worvados; He was more like a title that could be inherited, or perhaps the title itself was a collective name for all of Nordens's descendants.

Apart from the first generation, the other Worvados are also descendants of Nordens, but their birth mother is not "Lissaria", but a human who was left behind on the island of Oribar in the southern region at different times.

The stories about Oriba that the Nightweaver mentioned only appeared after the death of the first Worvados.

...

"Okay, this is the only fresh one left."

After the descendants of the gods completed the entire funeral ceremony, Milo directly entered his undead perspective.

...

This one is more heavyweight.

Similar to the Vovados whom the Nightweaver admired, he was also born and raised on the island of Oriba, and after he grew up, he also took on the task of purging heretical sects. However, unlike the other Vovados, he did it all himself, sweeping through the land with his awakened divine bloodline, slaughtering all the evil sects that had been named on Mount Kadas, and smashing the heads of all the statues of the sinners.

Under the education and training of the gods, He grows rapidly and will soon enter the outer universe to carry out the will of the gods and destroy the source of malice on the outer stars.

However, before He could embark on the path of the stars, a series of changes occurred in the Dreamland.

The gods are gone and will never return.

Including young Vovados's biological father, His mentor, and so on... all familiar presences were fading further and further away from him.

Evil is approaching.

...

At that time, He was staying at Mount Kadas, guarding the hundreds of empty divine thrones in the mountain range all by Him alone.

Then, a boy of unknown origin wandered into the mountains.

The man went straight into the ancient prison in the mountains and rescued an Old One-level fraudster.

Young Vovados decided to punish the man, so he caught up with the boy and the old man, and rushed out of Mount Kadas, which was blessed by the gods.

In the blink of an eye, the strange boy and the fraudster were nowhere to be seen. In the air, in the four directions around them, stood a fat female giant, a tall and thin figure bound by runes, a monster with fleshy wings, and a girl wearing a mask.

Vovados was already surrounded by the forbidden Four Favored Knights.

...

He was so close to the blessed halo of Mount Kadaz, which protected him from any external evil forces, but he could never return there.

...

Similar to the one in the Hip-Hi Castle, the young Vorvados, who had not yet established his divine status, had no chance to fight back against the Four Horsemen and was brutally murdered.

Judging by the timeline, he should have died even earlier than Vovados of Hee-Hee Castle.

This guy's short life was less than one ten-millionth of the lifespan of his predecessors, but it is the clearest, most detailed, and most complete from the perspective of all the dead, because he didn't even have time to become Vovados.

...

Even if Milo were an idiot, he would understand what the so-called "Vovados" was after seeing this, right?

That was the original name of the first one. After he was punished and died for being "bewitched by the stars," the name Vovados changed from a divine title to a kind of endless cycle.

...

The one who destroyed the lineage, shattered the sculptures, and killed the first Worvados was actually his biological father, Nordens.

After that, Nordens may have realized the danger of staring at the stars, but this vast outer space cannot be left unattended.

So from that time on, Vovados became a name that could be inherited.

And the term must end before the previous one is about to lose their way.

For Nordens, it was simply "changing sons".

Thus, Oriba Island came into being, the cradle of the Watchers.

...

The task of purging the cult's retinue from the previous generation of Vovados fell to the next generation, becoming an achievement in their growth—purging "heretics."

The purpose was to sever the source of faith of the previous generation of Vovardaus, who was far away in outer space, as the beginning of his death.

The Night Weaver had also participated in similar wars when she followed her beloved "brother".

In short, it is about killing the previous generation of Vovados in order to create a new generation of Vovados, guided by the gods.

The younger, uncorrupted Vovardauth replaces the previous generation—this is the cycle set up by Nordens. This is also why the perspective of the Vovardauth spirits that Milo observes is so fragmented and blurred. Because, apart from the first generation and the last generation who failed to walk the path of the stars, the rest of the Vovardauth fell into confusion and their divinity declined after their source of faith was severed.

...

Even in the cycle of reincarnation, there will inevitably be times of transition when there is a lack of successors.

But when the time comes, Vovadas's term must end, but what if a new generation hasn't grown up yet?
At this point, we need to rely on some external help.

For example, Ig, who lurks in the depths of the earth, is the perfect mastermind. It was He who carried out the task of severing the source of the Vovados faith on behalf of the gods.

This is the truth behind the tragedy on the continent of Mu.
