[TL Note: Most of the contents are already translated by others. Don’t know what I could add, but we will see.]


Mother Goddess of Depravity pathway
The Origin of Evil, The Indestructible, Sovereign of the Physical World
Mythical creature form: A colossal winged female composed of stacked reproductive organs.

Sequence 9: Villain
The malice of bullying others; Robust physique; Exceptional combat skills.

Sequence 8: Gardener
Knowledge of various plants; Ability to craft medicines and provide basic treatment; Skilled with tools like hoes, hammers, and scissors; Has this innate/natural ability to intimidate/overawe plant-related spirits.

Produces berserk agent, bark agent, scorpion poison, healing agent, etc.

Sequence 7: Heretic Spellmaster
Draws life force to cast spells:
Evil words; Blood spirit; Weak curses; Undying land; Ghost form; Life ignition - Cast on self to greatly enhance one’s abilities. In order to cast on others, the target must have sufficient wounds and blood; Weak black flame; Command evil creatures; “New life” ritual.

Sequence 6: Sower
A stud that targets all lifeforms [TL Note: or is tailored towards all lifeforms]; Bestowing life - which includes the ability to heal; Creates seeds that have special connections with the Sower, which can be used for communication/contacting others; At higher sequences, the Sower can sense the seeds’ surroundings.

Sequence 5: Banshee
Becomes female; Death Wail — instantly kills those with weak constitutions or those who are also affected by the weakening curse; Flight — using bird wings; Summon evil creatures — demons, wraiths, evil spirits, alien creatures; Ridiculous regeneration (self-healing); “Rebirth” ritual; Black flames that is fueled by the life/vitality of others.


Sequence 4: Madame
Madame Night, Evil Overlord, Benevolent Overlord, etc.; Can command the dead, and has the power to “revive” people; Paramita — effect Is similar to creating an otherworldly space that is favorable to the caster, dragging others into it during fights; Can control high-tier evil creatures such as devils; Healing – Divine Nectar; All-round enhancements of all of the Heretic Spellmaster’s abilities.

Sequence 3: Divine Gestator/Divine Mother (孕神者)
孕: Pregnant; 神: God; 者: One
[TL Note: Literal translation would be One who is Pregnant with a God]

The diluted/nerfed version of Sequence 0; Can gestate gods/divine beings without dying; as the mother of a “future god/deity”, she can directly suppress storms, absorbing storms into their body to become fetal nourishment; conversely, the fetus also grants the mother certain special traits, allowing her to acquire characteristics that typically belong only to deities in advance. For example, she can manifest a complete mythical creature form with certain limits without losing control, deeply utilize the Astral World, or obtain godhood for a very brief moment.

[TL Note: For those who are wondering why she feeds on storms specifically. This is because this sequence is a literal representation of Virgin Mary — The Virgin Mary is also sometimes associated with calming storms, with stories and prayers invoking her intercession to bring peace during turbulent times; essentially, she is seen as a powerful intercessor who can bring calm amidst chaos, drawing on her maternal role as a protector and comforter.]


Sequence 2: The Supreme/The Paramount (至高者)
至高者: Literal translation is “The Highest One
[TL Note: Random trivia, the Taiwan version calls Book 1 “LOTM – The Most High”, did they know something we don’t ]

Also known as Broken Pillar; this sequence represents the Authority of the Physical World, nearly impossible to kill, extremely difficulty to seal away or banish, any attacks made against them will trigger a backlash from the physical world and gets restricted in various ways; Begin to gain access to the Authority that grants all things spirit; and other abilities, etc.

Sequence 1: Tree God
Also known as Valley God; wields the Authority over reproduction and propagation, can grant life, enabling rebirth and resurrection — though True Resurrection has prerequisites and time constraints. Otherwise, the one resurrected is just a monster that has the same appearance as the target of resurrection; can create a new persona, subtly reshape a target’s mind; once a target is corrupted by its power, escape is impossible unless it voluntarily withdraws its influence — because life perpetuates endlessly; It can bestow life and also take it away, achieving an effect that is similar to instant death; and other abilities, etc.

Sequence 0: Chaos Primogenitor
the Original Sin; A next-generation The Original Creator that is in the process of gestation; can endow all things with spirit, including enemies’ attacks; it has the supreme authority along with the most unique symbolism.


Organizations Worshiping the Mother Goddess of Depravity:

  • The Holy Mother Society (also known as the Sacred Pregnancy Society)
  • Mother Five-Grains/Wugu Mother
  • The Sole Spirit Society
  • "The Great Mother"
  • The Nightstalkers
  • The Tree God Sect/Religion
  • School of God's Descent
  • School of Existence

[TL Note: extended reading, why MGOD chooses Five-Grain as one of her local/rural deity title: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Grains]

Q&A[]

CF's replies to random readers' questions in the comment section of the WeChat post:, translated by Windvally.[2]


Question 1[]

Comment: I want to know how many pathways does the complete MGOD have? Including the Moon and Mother pathways.

Cuttlefish: 4 pathways.


Question 2[]

Comment: What is that 4th pathway's sequence 0 called?

Cuttlefish: Sequence 0 World

Reply: Can you give us the sequences for that pathway?

Cuttlefish: [No further response on this comment chain]

[TL Note: So the FOUR Pathways of MGOD is Moon, Mother, Chaos Primogenitor, and World


Question 3[]

Comment: When a male turns into female at Sequence 5 Banshee, do their appearances get beautified similar to Demoness (aka get prettier)?

Cuttlefish: A little bit, Chaos Primogenitor is the adjacent pathway of Moon (Beauty Goddess) after all.


Question 4[]

(3 of the 8 questions I posted)
Comment: Can all Pillars simultaneously go against 2 ODs who don't counter them, or is only LOTM is capable of doing this, due to HIM having abilities such as blink and avatars, etc?

Is old Zaratul and Zaratul Jr the same person?

Who or what kind of event wiped Africa off the map?

Cuttlefish:
All Pillars can 1 vs 2 ODs when they are not countered/suppressed. For LOTM, when HE is not countered/suppressed, he can 1 vs. infinite number of ODs.

Senior Zaratul and Junior Zaratul are not the same person.

Africa still exists, it's part of the Forsaken Land of the Gods.


Question 5[]

Comment: CF, will you ever update the high sequence abilities of all 22 standard pathways?

Cuttlefish: Yes.


Question 6[]

(Also from our server I think)
Comment:
1. What happened to the original/very first Wills of the Sefirah? Did they get suppressed by the Original Creator and Pillars so that they were never fully awakened? Or were they killed by the Pillars?
2. Whats the difference between Hermit Pathway (i.e. Warlock sequence)'s spell abilities and White Tower (i.e. Mysticism Magister)'s spell abilities?
3. Why are the Seven Lights fundamentally benevolent despite being natural born divine beings, and help humans? is it because their divinity lean towards benevolence? Does that mean there are Great Old Ones who can be benevolent as well?

Cuttlefish:
1. The Original Creator's will split, it's similar to a piece of glass shattering, the biggest chunks are God Almighty and Celestial Worthy. These two broke and dispersed the Wills within the other Sefirot, making those Wills take a very long time to recover and awaken again.
2. The sequences of White Tower gain spell like abilities through mastery and research knowledge, which can be achieved starting at Seq 6.
3. The symbolism/representation of the Seven Lights is Guidance and Pointing the Way, hence why they are in essence benevolent. It's hard for those among the Great Old Ones to be this case. However, under very special conditions, THEY might also save humans due to THEIR own symbolism and instinct related to their divinity. For example, the instinct to save/to give salvation of the Circle of Inevitability.


Question 7[]

Comment: Asking about how MGOD's honorific names corresponds to her Pathways/Authorities.

Cuttlefish:
Origin of Evil - Chaos Primogenitor Pathway
The Indestructible - Physical World (Reality) Authority
Sovereign of the Physical World - World Pathway [The Ambrosial Arbor - Chinese concept of World Tree, Yggdrasil/Irminsul - The concept of World Tree in Western Mythology]

[TL Note: MGOD's Chaos Primogenitor sequence 1 is a (world) tree]


Question 8[]

Comment: CF, which pathway are you releasing on next Monday (Feb 24, 2025)?

Cuttlefish: Mother Tree of Desire


Question 9[]

Comment: A question about the 4th Epoch history. The Demoness of Apocalypse's ritual:
Advance at the universally acknowledged end of an epoch or the beginning of the next.
Advance during the signs and process of the apocalypse's arrival.
Advance when one's own involvement leads to the fall of a deity.

What is Cheek's ascension ritual? The fall of Ancient Sun God which led to the end of the 3rd Epoch or participating in the first fall of Solomon in the 4th Epoch?

Cuttlefish: Cheek's ascension ritual is involvement in the first fall of Solomon in the 4th Epoch.


Question 10[]

Comment: Why can Evernight Goddess' honorific name be "The Evernight Goddess stands higher than the cosmos and more eternal than eternity."? I feel this has too much niubility [TL Note: feel free to look up the word].

Cuttlefish: She's a transmigrator after all.

[TL Note: so she has a bit of a Chūnibyō, got it CF probably means, she's Earth Remnant, hence more eternal than eternity, just like Klein fulfilling the time requirement for sequence advancement.]


Question 11[]

Comment: CF, what is Amon's ritual for advancing to Angel of Redemption?

Cuttlefish: The salvation of catastrophe

[TL Note: He did not elaborate.]


Question 12[]

Comment: One question, can MGOD use Chaos Primogenitor's ability to get rid of the Earth Barrier from the very beginning? Or is it that when the Barrier was still strong, the Will of the Original Creator within it is also still strong to the point that the MGOD does not want to gamble?

Cuttlefish: MGOD has the ability to get rid of the barrier from the very beginning, but she will become weakened. Other ODs would take advantage of this.

Comment: So, regarding the Uncertain Mist's alliance with the other Outer Deities — The Mist wasn't fully active/conscious during the earlier Epochs, its awakening and the start of its active interventions likely began during the 5th Epoch and 4th Epoch?

CF: No, The Mist's consciousness exist earlier than 4th and 5th Epoch, but The Mist did not choose to make active moves until later in Book 2. This is because the Mist is waiting for Klein and CW to enter the dreamscape to fuse.

If the CW were to be released by the Uncertain Mist and its alliance before this process began (Pre-5th Epoch), CW would almost 100% go onto to immediately Error/Scam HIS contract with SoC/Uncertain Mist. Which would not benefit SoC/Uncertain Mist in the slightest.

[TL Note: Hence why the Mist stayed mostly low profile/inactive in earlier Epoch despite being consciousness.]


Question 13[]

Comment: Regarding the original Wills of the Sefirot: Were they suppressed into dormancy by GA and CW from the start, or did their consciousnesses only emerged after being sealed, implying it was initially will-less?

Cuttlefish: The original Wills of the Sefirot were all shattered by GA and CW and needs time to gradually recover.

Comment: The Original Creator theoretically can break any common sense, does this include the Beyonder Laws? Can a complete Original Creator create new pathways, or completely destroy Beyonder Characteristics?

Cuttlefish: Yes.


Question 14[]

Comment: Can a sequence 1 of a pathway accommodates sequence 2 or below BCs of its adjacent pathways?

If yes, would insanity be accumulated?

In the book, Amon can do this without insanity, is it a specialty of the Error Pathway, or can all Angels do this?

Cuttlefish:
1. You can
2. It will accumulate
3. The unique thing about Error allows one to not accumulate too much insanity.


Question 15[]

Comment: Hello, I’ve always been curious: How did Amon digest the Sufferer and Sinner sequences? Did HE require rituals, or did HE "steal" digestion progress?

Cuttlefish: Amon’s past experience is compatible with the Sufferer and Sinner sequences, allowing him to digest these sequences without additional effort.

Comment: What are the names of the unnamed Sefirot that ODs we know have? Or do these not have a name?

Cuttlefish: I personally think names are meaningless to the ODs and their Sefirot, because they are essentially just concepts.

[TL Note: So the names we know are just how humans perceive/call them. Makes sense.]


Question 16[]

Comment: Does Lumian in the ending of Book 2 still have the Mother symbolism? Will the Mother Goddess of Depravity acknowledge Lumian as her child? Why doesn’t the Mother Goddess kill Lumian? Is there maternal influence involved?

Cuttlefish: He doesn't have the Mother symbolism anymore, because the Mother Goddess of Depravity reset.


Question 17[]

Comment: Mr. Cuttlefish, if we were to split the two pathways that are mixed within the Chaos Primogenitor Pathway, how should they be divided? One for reproduction and procreation, and the other corresponds to the pillar supporting reality? Which pathway should the authority over evil and corruption belong to?

Cuttlefish: Reality and procreation are inseparable; Evil, original sin, and the exploitation of life would count as the other pathway within the mix.

Comment: Then which pathway is the Chaos Primogenitor the Sequence 0 of? This name seems to have both Procreation, Rebirth/New Life, and Original Sin.

Cuttlefish: The pathway of Evil and Corruption, which includes the exploitation of life.

[TL Note:
Chaos Primogenitor Pathway: The Origin of Evil; Evil; Degeneration/Corruption; The Exploitation of Life; Original Sin;

World Pathway (which IS A PART OF Chaos Primogenitor Pathway, the two mix into the current pathway you see above): The Indestructible; Reality & Procreation; Sovereign of the Physical World; World Tree;

Mother Pathway: Goddess of Origin's "Mother of All".

Moon Pathway: Goddess of Origin's "Brood Hive of Filth".


Question 18[]

Comment: So the Mother Goddess’ pathways are 4, but currently only 2 are shown as mixed. The Lamp God and Mother Tree of Desire have three, while the other Outer Deities who are currently revealed as one pathway, which is actually two mixed. Does this mean Outer Deities all have at least two pathways?

Cuttlefish:: No, some only has 1 pathway.


Question 19[]

Comment: Mr. Cuttlefish, regarding Outer Deities pathways: ① Do the pathways under the Goddess of Fate force gender changes? ② The Mother Tree of Desire is also the “Father of Devils.” Do its three pathways have sequences that enforce gender changes to males or females?

Cuttlefish: 1. It doesn't. 2. It also doesn't. The "Father" in "Father of Devils" is symbolic, I will update MTOD next week.


Question 20[]

Comment: If the Barrier remains intact, can a Sequence 5 Banshee really summon extraterrestrial beings through it?

Cuttlefish: Weaker ones can pass through the Barrier.

Comment: What is the upper limit for a Sequence 3 High Summoner of the Moon Pathway within the Barrier when summoning extraterrestrial beings?

Cuttlefish: Sequence 3. Angels crossing the Barrier require large-scale rituals, and are often easier to discover/detect because of it.


Question 21[]

Comment: If MGOD reclaims the Brood Hive, will the MGOD shed her “of Degeneration” to become a purer Mother Goddess? Is this Pillar's “Degeneration” innate at birth or acquired later in life?

Cuttlefish: Innate.


Question 22[]

Comment: Cuttlefish, Is the Mother Goddess’ complete mythical creature form (after reclaiming Brood Hive + the two pathways on Earth) the same appearance as the mythical creature form of the Chaos Primogenitor Pathway?

Did MGOD have worshippers during the ancient Earth era (Before cataclysm)?

Cuttlefish: No, MGOD's mythical creature form will change after SHE reclaims the Brood Hive. You can go see the description in the texts [TL Note: or did he mean the novels].

MGOD has worshippers during the ancient Earth era. MGOD is the source of every single Mother Goddess-type deity of any religion in the history of Earth.

[TL Note: such as Nuwa, Gaia, Isis, Parvati, Mary etc.]


Question 23[]

Comment: How are The Supreme/Paramount or Broken Pillar connected to the Authority over Reality? What is the origin of these sequence names?

Cuttlefish: It is the lesser versions of the Pillar's Authority (Sovereign of the Physical World).

[TL Note: The word he used here is like a gamer term. Say you have the best equipment/weapon for a combat build for a character. The Supreme/Broken Pillar would be the second best equipment for your build, aka the less powerful substitute. ]


Question 24[]

Comment: Mr. Cuttlefish! Is the Chaos Primogenitor placed within the Mother Goddess of Depravity by the Original Creator through the OD Blessing power system?

If one advances to Sequence 0 of the Evil (Chaos Primogenitor) pathway via the Earth potion system, would the Chaos Primogenitor Sequence 0's status/condition still align with the Mother Goddess’ innate state?

Cuttlefish: No. The Chaos Primogenitor is an innate symbolism held by MGOD since the start. The potion system emerged later by human wisdom.

[TL Note: He did not answer the part about the TOC. CF meant that the innate symbolism is already evil, you making a potion out of Chaos Primogenitor, you would still be evil].


Question 25[]

Comment: The Villain/Heretic Spellmaster/Banshee/Madame/Chaos Primogenitor sequences correspond to the Evil pathway, while the Gardener/Sower/Divine Mother/The Supreme/Valley God sequences correspond to the "Indestructible/Reality Pillar" pathway?

Cuttlefish: Malevolent Overlord and Benevolent Overlord are separate.

[TL Note: Malevolent Overlord is part of Chaos Primogenitor pathway, Benevolent Overlord is part of World pathway]


Question 26[]

Comment: Mr. Cuttlefish, two short questions: 1. What is the ascension ritual for the Door Pathway? 2. What pathway does Constantine belong to?

Cuttlefish: Everyone has already guessed the Door's ascension ritual.


Question 27[]

Comment: Why did the Six Gods unite to destroy the Solomon First Empire? Was it solely because Solomon First Empire controlled the largest territory?

Cuttlefish: No, it was because of the True Creator.


Question 28[]

Comment: Does the Divine Mother’s divinity level that of an angel or a subordinate deity or a true god?

Cuttlefish: Depends on what SHE is nurturing on the inside/pregnant with.


Question 29[]

Comment: Mr. Cuttlefish, regarding organizations mentioned in the main story— The Brotherhood Minor, The Carbonari, and Trier Cave Association — do they have hidden settings? Why did the Newins civilization even have submarines?

Cuttlefish: Newins was a pre-Earth cataclysm civilization.

Comment: What about the three organizations? They’re mentioned repeatedly, but their purposes are unclear. Can you elaborate for fanfiction writers' sake, otherwise it is hard for us to write about them?

Cuttlefish:
The Brotherhood Minor: Internal factions with differing beliefs.
The Carbonari: Rebellion group/Rebels
Trier Cave Association: Civilian group researching caves and underground exploration (Mirror People, officials from churches, and other Beyonders all joined/have people inside due to the association's ties to Underground Trier).
