What we call the survival instinct. The ancient gods lacked that trait. No matter how much energy they possessed, the were nothing but beings that were “just there.” Whereas the human will to survive was extraordinary.
Individuals might be lacking, but there were many of them, and the average was high. There was no particular species endowed with supreme authority, but human beings had a higher standard of intelligence than other lifeforms. On the other hand, no matter how powerful the forces of nature the heavenly gods embodied, in character…in ingenuity, and in cognition they were not so different from human beings. Do you see? An omniscient being can only reach a single possible conclusion, can only have one personality. On that point, human beings were a threat to them.
It was a difference in the number of minds…no, a difference in adaptability. Human desire is unlimited, endless, and unsparing. The world is transformed according to their desires. “If human beings continue to multiply like this the rules of this planet will change. The time is coming when we gods, the wills of nature, will become unnecessary.” The ancient gods feared that future.
