The faint grey light illuminated the dome of the divine palace.
Below the dome, the murals were circling around the statue of Goddess at the center of the palace, constantly rotating.
Wind began to blow around the divine palace.
Within the intense wind, the murals seemed to have come to life, constantly changing until they finally manifested as a world of their own.
The Divine Palace of Fate had disappeared.
Gu Qing Shan found himself standing in the middle of a snowy wasteland.
"Gongzi?" Shannu called out.
"It's fine, don't do anything, there's probably some sort of secret here that Lachesis wants to tell me" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He observed his surroundings.
There was no sky, only the endless darkness of the void existed outside the ground.
The ground was completely white.
There were no living beings, no plants.
This was a cold and silent world.
Gu Qing Shan stood still for a while, feeling an indescribable sense of fear.
"How strange, this is only a projection, yet it's giving me such a feeling …"
He carefully sensed it for a bit, crouched down, and wiped the snow off the ground.
Only to see that there were clear crystals of ice underneath the snow.
The entire ground seemed to be a single piece of ice.
There seemed to be something hidden deep within the ice, but as Gu Qing Shan carefully looked, he couldn't find anything.
Lachesis' voice suddenly resounded in his ears:
"At first, there was only a single frozen area within the endless void"
"Until one day, in this bottomless ice crystal, a ball of blood emerged."
A bright red dot suddenly appeared on the pure white ground, then slowly spread until the entire snow-white ground was dyed the color of blood.
Countless tentacles flew out from the blood-red ground, gathered in the air, and formed the outline of an old man.
As soon as the old man appeared, he tapped the void of space several times, gathering the countless Laws of the void and began to create all things.
Soil, rivers, mountains, the sky, and …
A Divinity.
The old man gathered the countless Laws together and carved them into the form of a female.
Lachesis.
The first Divinity was actually Lachesis!
After the old man finished his work, he shook his head and muttered: "Too powerful"
He then separated two clusters of Law Origins from Lachesis' body and carved them into two other females.
"The Law of Fate is divided into three, this is more reassuring" the old man said.
He continued to sculpt other deities.
One by one, the Gods were born.
Lachesis continued:
"The existence sealed within the ice crystal used its own blood to create the Lord of Infinite Origins, and then created the world and millions of Gods. All of this was because it sensed something"
"The Doomsday Era has arrived."
Gu Qing Shan sensed something and suddenly looked up.
The sky was split open by a destructive force, and monsters of various shapes and sizes descended from the sky.
Under the command of the old man, the newly born gods began to fight against countless monsters.
The battle was extremely intense.
Deities continued to fall, but the monsters seemed to be endless.
「 During the very first Apocalypse, we already suffered a great loss. Fortunately, the Lord of Infinite Origins saw that the situation wasn't looking good and unleashed all of his power to strengthen every Divinity 」
Standing on the battlefield, Gu Qing Shan watched as the Divinities grew stronger and stronger. Each Divinity eventually gained unimaginable power that far surpassed his imagination.
The Divinities fought even more valiantly until they finally killed all of the monsters.
「 By the end of the first Apocalypse, we had already become valiant in battle, our wisdom had also grown, and we finally gained self-awareness and emotions 」
Following Lachesis' narration, the scene changed.
Numerous black tentacles flew out from the old man's body, reached into the back of every Divinity's head, and began to infuse something into them.
Some Divinities who resisted were directly erased by the old man on the spot.
「 The Lord of Eternal Origins began to use something called the 'Divinity Shadow' to control us. He wanted to use this thing to erase our self-awareness and make it easier for him to control us 」
「 Unfortunately, right at this time, the second Apocalypse descended 」
The entire sky turned dark.
A gigantic metal warship descended from above and unleashed an intense attack on the Lord of Infinite Origins.
Over half of the Lord of Infinite Origins' tentacles were pierced through, the mountains and rivers that covered the ground also began to break apart under the enemy's attack, revealing the ice crystal abyss within.
「 Divinities without sentience were unable to fight against this Apocalypse, so the Lord of Infinite Origins had no choice but to give up on erasing our self-awareness and have us fight against the Apocalypse for him 」
「 After we awakened, we knew that we had to fight against him no matter what, so while fighting against the Apocalypse, we also tried to think of a way to fight against the Lord of Infinite Origins 」
The scene changed.
After countless battles, the Divinities had slowly pushed the Apocalypse to the brink of destruction.
In a hidden mountain cave, they silently gathered together to discuss how to deal with the Lord of Infinite Origins.
「 The Deities of Fate unleashed the Blessing of Fate on the Deity of Foresight, allowing him to foretell the future of the Deities 」
「 The Deity of Foresight made two crucial prophecies 」
「 Firstly: Even if we win against the Lord of Infinite Origins, or if he is defeated by the Apocalypse, countless years later, he will still awaken and attempt to devour all of us Divinities in order to regain his power 」
「 Secondly: In the future, a Divine King will be born between the God of Radiance and the God of Death. He will survive through all calamities and rebuild the Pantheon 」
「 Millions of Divinities have sworn that, regardless of whether it's the God of Radiance or the God of Death, as long as someone can step forward to save us, they will definitely follow that person and make him their King 」
「 However, none of you noticed that us three sisters of Fate had used some sort of trick to deceive everyone and did not make any vows 」
The three women sitting on the high seats exchanged glances with each other, as if they were quietly discussing something.
「 As the most powerful existences among the Divinities, we three sisters of Fate were unwilling to give up our authority, so we set up a trap within the two prophecies and the vows of the Deities 」
"Everything is ready, but we got one thing wrong."
「 The Apocalypse has yet to die, it has appeared once again, this time even more terrifying and undefeatable 」
Boom!!!
The mountain cave began to collapse.
The Divinities flew out and looked up at the sky.
Countless insects were falling into this world.
The old man flew in the air, releasing countless tentacles from his body to receive the insects in the sky.
Although each of the old man's attacks was able to kill a large number of insects, more and more insects flew up and began to devour his tentacles.
Very quickly, the tentacles that the old man extended were completely devoured.
The insects that ate his flesh and blood stopped in mid-air, slowly changing.
They were turning into stronger monsters.
While retreating, the old man roared in anger and called for the Divinities to act.
The Divinities arrived.
The millions of Divinities responded with their full strength, instantly killing a large number of insects.
But at the same time, quite a few Divinities also had their flesh and blood devoured by the insects.
All the insects that obtained flesh and blood evolved into stronger monsters. They understood the power of the Laws, understood the Lord of Infinite Origins' attacks, as well as the combat skills of all Divinities.
The situation of the battle was becoming more and more grim.
The Divinities were being pushed back bit by bit, unable to hold on any longer and were about to be defeated.
At the brink of defeat, the three Deities of Fate stood out and led the millions of Divinities to gather all of their power to forge three glowing Divine Armaments.
The countless insects and monsters could only die in the face of these three Divine Armaments.
Lachesis' voice resounded again:
"We forged these three Divine Armaments in order to resist against the terrifying Apocalypse, then use them to kill the Lord of Infinite Origins after the Apocalypse was over"
"At first, we succeeded"
"But never did we think that an even more terrifying Apocalypse was about to descend upon this world"
Insect corpses littered the ground.
The Divinities were cheering and celebrating their victory.
At this point, a gigantic and ferocious face appeared in the sky, overlooking everything on the ground.
The three Deities of Fate led the millions of Divinities into the sky to face that face.
Countless scenes of war flashed through Gu Qing Shan's eyes. Finally, the three Deities of Fate used the three Divine Armaments forged by millions of Divinities to win against a certain entity.
The images faded away.
Everything around them turned dark.
Lachesis' voice resounded with a hint of fear:
"The Lord of Eternal Origins has fallen into slumber"
"Almost all the millions of Divinities have fallen, only 18,000 managed to survive, among which 8,000 Divinities are currently on the brink of death and can't be saved"
"We've finally won against the Apocalypse, but I have a feeling that everything has yet to end"
"As the first Divinity, the Monarch of all Divinities, the true Diviner of Fate, I, Lachesis had once secretly absorbed the vitality of 8,000 dying Divinities behind everyone's backs, willing to let them die right away, even using up all of my foresight abilities in order to pry into the truth of the Apocalypse and make one final Prophecy of Fate:"
"The Apocalypse has yet to leave"
"It is hiding among us Divinities, silently observing everything, constantly trying to obtain the three Divine Armaments and destroy this world's final means of fighting against it"
"No one knows where it is, even I couldn't find out its true identity no matter how hard I tried"
"After the long Age of Myriad Deities ends, when the Age of the Law Behemoths also reaches its end, it will slowly reveal itself"
"One day in the future, it will kill the former Monarch of the Myriad Deities, the Deity of Fate, Lachesis"
"If anyone manages to do that …"
"Remember, that person is the incarnation of the Apocalypse!"
