The orange cat stared at the glowing text in the void of space with a pondering expression.
When the black flames of death scythe and the Book of Prophesized Destinies appeared in my hand, the War God UI had sensed a certain turning point.
Seems like I wasn't wrong this time.
Strands of white fog appeared around the orange cat and completely enveloped him.
The orange cat slowly retreated.
At the very next moment, he vanished. …
At another location.
The hidden divine palace.
White fog filled the air.
The orange cat then appeared.
[Fog Realm Descent] was a World Technique manifested from the broken world spirits of the past in Gu Qing Shan's eyes, so it had always been very useful.
The orange cat lightly swung his paw to summon the black flames of death scythe and the Book of Prophesized Destinies.
The two items silently hovered in the air.
The orange cat narrowed his eyes as he observed his surroundings. The statues of the Myriad Deities didn't change at all, but the statues of the Lord of Radiance and Death God began to emit the clear sound of metal moving.
Crack crack crack — —
The two statues slowly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the two treasures.
As they moved, the ground began to tremble.
A few lines of glowing text quickly appeared on the War God UI:
[You've passed the Myriad Deities' examination]
[Some sort of mechanism is being activated]
A few moments later.
All of a sudden, the ground began to shake.
The barrier that blocked the underground river water disappeared.
The river water instantly filled the entire divine palace.
The statues of the Myriad Deities were completely destroyed by the water.
Everything had been destroyed by the river water.
— — -this divine palace had been completely destroyed.
The orange cat floated in the water, patiently waiting.
He didn't believe that the Myriad Deities had made such a well-hidden design just to destroy him.
A few moments later.
The fountain that was submerged in the river water began to emit a pure-white light.
A voice then resounded:
[Envoy from the future, with the last of our Divine power, you shall see the truth of the matter]
Light began to scatter from their bodies, manifesting in the dim river water and manifesting a beautiful world.
The voice from before resounded again:
[A very long time ago, the Laws of Reality had gathered to form the first entity with infinite Origin power]
[Its name cannot be mentioned, cannot be thought about, cannot be written, or it would know]
[It lived alone in the void for countless years, until one day, it sensed a threat from outside the Reality Gate]
"That threat was so terrifying that even it had no choice but to make new plans in order to survive."
"It began to use its own Laws and power to create a single entity specifically for combat."
"— Millions of gods have been born."
In the world made of water, rays of brilliant light fell on the ground, forming new life.
There were humanoid creatures, beast-like creatures, fairies, elves, giants, elementals, and so on. They came in all shapes and sizes, dazzling the onlookers.
One by one, they knelt on one knee and bowed in a certain direction. Their eyes were filled with devotion.
These deities were born from 'it', they were the origin of the laws that 'it' separated from.
Following that, the Myriad Deities began to get busy, smelting iron, forging armor, forging weapons, researching spells, studying the essence of the Laws.
On the ground, everything was flourishing.
The voice became serious and deep.
"Although millions of gods were born from 'it', they were independent individuals with self-awareness and gradually became dissatisfied with their status as servants."
"But 'it's' power is too great. Every single God is an existence created by 'it' using the Laws — — when 'it' created the Gods, it also left behind a backup plan."
The scene of light changed.
On top of a certain altar, a Deity was bathed in blood, his body was pierced through by another Deity that looked exactly like him and had its head severed.
The Deity raised his head up high and roared at the bottom of the altar.
The voice became a bit gloomy and continued:
"When 'it' created the Gods, it only used 40% of the Origin power of the Laws to create the Gods, but used the remaining 60% to create the 'shadows of the Gods'"
"These 'shadows of the Gods' were unconscious bodies of Laws that were under 'its' control"
"— — no matter how powerful the Gods were, the shadows of the Gods would always be more powerful than the Gods themselves, the ratio of power between the two would always be 4: 6"
"'It' could infuse its will into a certain shadow at any time to kill a disobedient servant"
"The millions of Gods realized that they couldn't resist 'it', so they could only continue to be its servants"
"Until that day — —"
The world of light flashed.
The sky was engulfed in flames, the chaotic clouds scattered in all directions, revealing the presence of destruction.
Locust-Like monsters descended from the sky. Countless Apocalypses manifested on the ground, causing unprecedented destruction to the entire world.
A furious roar resounded from the void of space.
The millions of Gods went up to deal with the Apocalypses that manifested.
The voice continued: "Even though it had already prepared millions of Gods as a countermeasure, 'it' had clearly underestimated the power of the Apocalypses"
A crimson streak of light rapidly descended into the ground.
The light turned into darkness.
Everything could no longer be seen.
The voice resounded again:
"'It' had lost to the Apocalypse, with only the last bit of its power left, it had no choice but to fall into slumber"
The scene of light flashed again.
In the broken world, all living beings had withered and died.
The Gods were scattered all over the ground, their expressions filled with pain and confusion.
Of the millions of Gods of the past, only less than 10,000 remained.
Two dying Gods laid on the ground, covered by a heavy shadow.
A Goddess stood around these two Gods, quickly chanting a profound incantation.
All the Gods stood behind the Goddess, praying in unison.
"The Lord of Radiance and Death God were the best of the best among the Myriad Gods"
"After experiencing countless Apocalypses, they suddenly discovered a way to dispel the 'Shadow of God' before they died."
"However, the remaining will of 'it' did not allow the two Gods to pass down the method"
"Using the power of the Goddess of Time, the Gods of Radiance and Death threw the method to a certain point in the future"
"When someone from the future inherits their Laws, they will have the chance to find the secret to dispel the shadows of the Gods within the Pantheon"
On the ground, the two Gods finally died.
The blinding light of the Laws flew to the sky, turned into stars, and disappeared.
Time quickly passed.
The civilization of the Gods grew stronger and stronger, the Myriad Gods worked together to build a grand divine palace.
The three Goddesses received the scepter that represented authority under the protection of the Gods.
"The three Goddesses of Fate control the Fate of all Gods, they are the spirits manifested by the Law of Fate, worshipped by the Myriad Gods"
The voice continued to speak.
"After countless years, 'it' would occasionally give off a bit of its consciousness, reminding the Myriad Gods of the past"
"The Deities of Fate unleashed the blessing of Fate upon the Foresight Deity, allowing him to prophesy the future of the Gods"
"The Foresight Deity made two crucial prophecies"
"Firstly: 'it' will once again awaken and attempt to devour all Gods in order to regain its power"
"Secondly: The most powerful person in the Realm of Life will be born from the future Lord of Radiance and Death God. He will survive through all calamities, become the Divine King of the future, and rebuild the Pantheon"
The images slowly faded away.
Divine prayers resounded throughout the world. The faint figures of the Gods descended from the images and blessed Gu Qing Shan.
The incantation they were chanting was something that Gu Qing Shan had never heard before. But Gu Qing Shan could sense an innumerable unique power entering her body.
Gu Qing Shan became a bit cautious.
At this point, a line of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[You have received the blessing of the Myriad Gods of the past]
The images around her continued to withdraw, disappear, and completely disappear.
The water became dark.
All the statues in the divine palace had disappeared.
It was as if these statues only existed to trigger what happened just now.
Faintly, the voice resounded for the last time:
[Future God of Death, we need you to find the secret of the past]
[Once you unravel the secret of the Deities' shadows, the Myriad Gods shall no longer be bound by 'it' and regain their freedom]
[You shall lead us to defeat 'it' and usher in the glorious era of the Gods]
[You shall become the King of the Myriad Gods]
