Once their ascendancy was secured, the Ori turned their attention to the mortal races scattered across the vast expanse of the cosmos. Their eyes fell upon the Milky Way Galaxy, a galaxy teeming with life, a galaxy ripe for conquest, and a galaxy where the echoes of the Ancients still resonated. The Ori did not simply invade, they offered a choice - submission to their will or annihilation. The Book of Origin carefully frames this choice as an act of divine mercy, a chance for mortal beings to find salvation through unwavering obedience. The narrative subtly rewrites the history of the Ancients, transforming them from benevolent creators into a fallen people, a race weakened by their flaws. The Ori depict the Ancients' eventual departure from the Milky Way as an abandonment, a betrayal. The Ancients' attempts at guiding and uplifting humanity are twisted into acts of weakness, the Ancients' gifts are reinterpreted as evidence of their inherent inadequacy, their failure as a proof of their inferiority. The Book paints a picture of the Ori as the only true ascended beings, the only path to true ascension lies through blind faith and total submission to their will. Other ascended beings, such as the Ancients, are depicted as having chosen flawed paths, eventually leading them away from the rightful path to ascension and leaving the mortals to the whims of fate. The Ori's portrayal of the Ancients aims to diminish their influence, making it easier to convince the mortals that the Ori are the only true path to salvation and enlightenment.
