The Hall of Glory was where the Father God resided. It was located in the center of the "garden." This small complex formed by several temples floated high in the sky like a crown. It represented the core of the highest power and glory in the entire God Realm, or even the entire multiverse. Its majestic and holy appearance encouraged every citizen who was fortunate enough to come here on a pilgrimage. Its eternal holy light solved the problem of night illumination for a large area nearby — those were Icetis's exact words.
The Brilliant Divine Court was the ruling center of the Divine Realm. It was made up of five magnificent temples. The four temples that were symmetrically distributed on the periphery were the four leaders of the Light, Darkness, Life, and Order God. The Godfather's temple was undoubtedly located in the middle.
Before entering the Church of the Father, I intentionally looked around, my gaze lingering on a certain gigantic green structure. It was a circular dome that seemed to have fused together with a gigantic World Tree. Although its design wasn't extravagant or majestic, it contained an endless sense of mystery and holiness. Some ancient and pure power even formed a seemingly solid green screen of light that slowly floated above the Church of the Father. Jingle pointed at the temple and excitedly announced to everyone that she was "born" in that temple.
Yep, the main temple of the Goddess of Life. Oh Jingle above, that palm-sized goddess actually had such a gigantic house! How could Shallow Shallow, who had a head with three bedrooms and a living room and still hadn't given up on this point of life satisfaction, what a waste of a person!
"By the way, is it really okay for such a large group of us to go in?"
My sister asked uncertainly in a low voice at the entrance of the Father God's Temple. In her opinion, this was the center of power in the God Realm, the palace of the Gods. It was inappropriate for us to bring our entire family and pets in for sightseeing.
The rogue goddess who was leading the way waved her hand nonchalantly. She winked at the Protoss guards who were standing guard at the entrance. The moment the guards saw Icetis, they all showed very subtle expressions. This made one wonder just how mischievous this female rogue was at the time, to the point that even the guards of the Protoss leader felt a lingering fear.
"Relax, relax. This isn't the meeting hall of the Geezer Alliance. It's just Father God's house. He loves liveliness — Oh, the door is open! Haha, Father … I'm coming to play! "
After the temple's door opened, Icetis immediately started making a ruckus. I looked at the Protoss that appeared in front of the door, especially the "Father God" who was surrounded in the middle. I was momentarily stunned.
Several Protoss guards, who wore special light armor and appeared to be on a higher level than any of the Holy Shrine's guards, stood in two rows. The one who walked out from between them was a young man wearing an ordinary black robe. He had short silver-white hair, and he was tall but not fierce. His appearance could only be considered average among the Protoss. He had a gentle and warm smile as he stood at the entrance and made a welcoming gesture towards us.
"Welcome. I should have met you yesterday, but I was too busy." The young man in front of them smiled and spoke. His voice was a little low, but it was very kind. It felt like he was chatting with an ordinary friend. "Come in. Half of the Divine Servants are on leave today, so it's a good day. It's a good time to chat."
"Father! I said, I'm coming to play!!! "
A certain female hoodlum who was the first to shout but was ignored from the start to the end had no concept of tolerance. She didn't even have the courtesy to face the highest leader. She immediately bared her fangs and brandished her claws. However, her actions seemed like a daughter expressing her dissatisfaction towards her father. As expected of the Father God whom all the Protoss treated as their own father. Even the female hoodlum Icetis couldn't help but play the role of a daughter. Uncle Kvain who was far away in heaven, please have a safe journey. Although your daughter is no longer acting spoiled to you, she still has another father.
Also: Uncle Kvain, you are really in heaven.
"I know, I know." The seemingly good-tempered young man shrugged his shoulders at Icetis, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Where did you get into trouble recently?"
Icetis instantly became listless. "I didn't pay the fee for crossing 13685 Void Nodes last month, so my points were deducted."
"What else?"
"When I was fighting with someone, I broke Uncle Sauvare's astrolabe and was discovered."
"And then?"
"I brought some people to Novala 38765 World to collect protection fees and was caught by my father."
"Continue."
"… My pocket money for this month was deducted."
"Here's your pocket money. Go back and reflect on everything else."
The good-tempered young man smiled and gave Icetis a promise. The latter instantly rolled up her sleeves, full of energy. "Yay … As long as I can keep my pocket money, everything else is fine. I'll bring my underlings to take revenge myself!"
"Father God, Father God! Jingle is back too! "
While we were still in a daze, the pocket in front of my chest suddenly moved a few times, and Jingle immediately jumped out. She happily circled around the head of the creature that I suspected to be Father God's head several times before landing on his hand. Father God immediately took out a ruler and gestured next to Jingle. As he gestured, he chuckled. "Good, good, good. Jingle is home too. Let me see … Yep, her height is very stable, her height is very stable."
Ding Dang immediately flew back as if she had received a great compliment. With a silly smile on her face, she hugged my nose and began to rub against me. This was her usual method of taking credit, although I really didn't know what she was taking credit for.
"That …" I looked at the young man in front of me awkwardly, my emotions complicated.
I used to think that Father God was a dignified and steady old man with a white beard, but Icetis's evaluation of him as a "non-mainstream youth" completely shattered this image. Then, I thought that Father God was a tall and serious middle-aged man with a dignified air about him — like Uncle Kenser. Now, this image of Father God was shattered once again. The young man standing in front of me had a kind expression and even seemed a little sleepy. Even when he spoke, he didn't seem dignified at all. If I had to describe how this image made me feel — he reminded me of my middle school classmate. It didn't have any impact at all!
I didn't know how to treat this gentle young man in front of me. If Father God God had the image of a white-bearded old man or an elder like Uncle Kenser, then it would have been fine. But this young man in front of me really made me forget what I was supposed to say.
"Come on in. Sora has already prepared some refreshments. The others are here as well."
God Father merely smiled, his gentle gaze sweeping across our entire family. Finally, his gaze paused on the little fellows. "And the candy from the God Realm."
Finally, his gaze landed on Sandora. I wasn't sure, but it seemed like Father had shivered just now.
"Uh, you came here after eating, right?"
I almost burst into tears. Girl, what did you do last time you came to the God Realm?!
Under God Father's personal guidance, the family of the head of the Empire's majestic delegation walked into this huge palace. At first, I had imagined that I would be meeting Father God in a solemn environment similar to the imperial court of a feudal dynasty, such as the Council of Gods, but I never expected that the situation would develop in the direction of Father God's family banquet. Not only that, Father God personally came out to greet me — Father God's friendliness and calmness were far too unexpected.
"Icetis, I've wanted to ask before. Who is this Sora that Father mentioned?"
I curiously observed the beautiful sculptures along the corridor and the meticulous Protoss guards on both sides of the corridor while I secretly chatted with Icetis through our mental connection. I seemed to have some impression of the name "Sora," but I couldn't recall it at the moment.
"The nickname of the Dark Goddess Sora Feier, sometimes also called Feier." Icetis had a cheerful smile on her face. "She's the leader of the Dark Protoss and also Father God's partner."
I widened my eyes in surprise, but before I could continue asking, we had already arrived at the guest hall.
There weren't any overly extravagant decorations that I had expected. Although Father God's guest hall was filled with a sense of holiness, it rarely had any complicated decorations. In the pure white rectangular hall, other than the four corners of the four corners and a few pots of unknown decorative flowers by the wall, there were only a few long tables and chairs that were placed randomly in the middle of the hall. There were already many people sitting around these long tables. Seeing our arrival, these Protoss that we didn't know all stood up to greet us, as if it was a very ordinary family entertaining guests. Speaking of which, to randomly place the long tables that should have been neatly arranged, was this Father God's artistic taste?
"Gatti has been fond of messing things that are neatly arranged recently. Looks like it's her doing."
Father God looked at the messy tables and chairs in the guest hall and shook his head helplessly. At this moment, an ear-piercing creaking sound came from the guest hall's door that was wide open. I looked towards the source of the sound and saw a little girl who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, dressed in a snow-white princess dress, pushing a chair into the room excitedly. After throwing the chair that she had pushed out of nowhere onto the floor, she immediately pounced over and happily hugged Father God's waist. "Daddy, Daddy! The chair is here! "
"My daughter, Gatti." Father God rubbed the little girl's head and introduced her to us. The latter widened her eyes curiously as she looked at the strangers in front of her until her father's words drew her attention back. "Gatti, this chair doesn't seem to be in the guest hall, does it?"
The little girl immediately replied innocently, "No! It's Uncle Mensain's! Gatti took the opportunity when he got up to grab something and pulled the chair out! "
Damn it, the most dangerous creature in the world was indeed a loli.
The little girl's appearance was only a small interlude. Father God hurriedly had her push the chair back. However, this innocent and lively little girl effectively alleviated our tension. Father God introduced us to the other Gods in the room, but since I'm a lazy author, I won't list their names one by one. Among them, there was only one person worth paying attention to. Or perhaps, I should say that there was only one person whose identity was the most noteworthy — the highest Goddess of Darkness, who sat quietly in the corner of the room and had a faint smile on her face as she looked at Father God.
She was a beautiful goddess wearing an elegant black dress. She had shoulder-length silver-white hair, a delicate face, and a slightly thin face. Her blood-red eyes were filled with a peaceful light, and no other emotions could be discerned from them. This Ruler of Darkness sat quietly in the corner and didn't participate in anyone's discussion. When I first saw her, I even mistook her for a high-level God's servant who was on standby. This was the highest Goddess of Darkness, the supreme ruler of all dark powers in the multiverse. She didn't give off any sinister or bloody feeling, and she was as peaceful as the big sister next door, low-key as a housewife accompanying her husband to meet with strangers. It could be said that ever since I arrived in the God Realm, every new God that I had come to know had exceeded my imagination, and this low-key Goddess of Darkness was the most inconceivable of all.
As I responded to the Protoss's nods of greeting, Icetis, who was following behind me, jumped out. It was obvious that this wasn't her first time here, and the moment she came out, she greeted the elders in the room with familiarity, "Hey, everyone, I'm here to play!"
This immediately created an uproar. The Gods who had been gentle and elegant just a second ago immediately trembled in unison. Some of them hurriedly put away their teacups on the table, some immediately turned around and pretended to chat with a pillar next to them, some quickly stuffed all the tea and snacks in front of them into their mouths, and then gulped down their drinks. There was also one who trembled as he took out a pen and paper and started writing something. Only a bearded uncle remained calm, but his hand was obviously cramping as he held his teacup.
Even though she had disappeared for tens of thousands of years, the female pervert's prestige still remained.
We stared dumbfoundedly at the scene where the few bosses were flustered by the appearance of Bryndis. In the end, we could only give a thumbs up to a certain female hoodlum in admiration. At this time, Dingdang also came out of my body and bounced around to greet everyone, "Dingdang is here too, Dingdang is here too!"
The uncle who had just put away his teacup accidentally smashed the teapot, the one who had been chatting with the pillar next to him started asking for the pillar's name, and the uncle who had been in a hurry to wipe out his snacks almost choked to death. The brother who was busy writing sighed and took out his wife's photo. Finally, the only uncle who had remained calm when Icetis had appeared, glanced at the lively Jingle, and after struggling for a long time, he waved his hand and took the initiative to burn off his beard.
That little bean's history of growth was a criminal history, written with the tears of the Galactic Gods.
Everyone recalled Jingle's smashed teacup, burned garden, plucked beard, broken dressing table, and the dark circles under her eyes because she had to take care of this naughty little bean. In addition, they recalled the countless group fights, truancy, smashing, and academic violence that a certain delinquent girl had organized since she was young. (She would use a brick-like reference book to smash every researcher who disagreed with her in order to unify her ideas. Although the facts later proved that the female pervert was right most of the time.) Thus, the scene immediately formed a thick atmosphere of reminiscence. In this atmosphere, the Xiling Empire's sightseeing group sat down in the guest room. Sandora first tactfully expressed that she had rushed over without eating. In front of everyone, she generously ate her own set of snacks and my teacup. Thus, Father God announced that we should eat first.
Although it wasn't grand, it was a sumptuous family-style banquet. The head of state's family, who was used to a relaxed atmosphere, was very satisfied, including the bored Mercury Lamp. Sandora satisfied her appetite, and the little ones satisfied their love of desserts. Little Bubble miraculously stole everyone's cake and piled it in front of me and Bubble. Father God was amazed. Of course, the little one's information interference didn't have much effect on Father God, but her strange ability was quite rare. Pandora and Visca ate peacefully, which was rare. It seemed that even these two little girls, who would feel uncomfortable if they didn't fight, knew that some occasions required silence. However, this might also have something to do with the fact that their elder sister was sitting between them. During the banquet, I began to think about a problem. We came to the Divine Realm for official business (theoretically speaking). Why did it seem like we were here to freeload?
"Let the children play as they please. Gatti will like new friends." After the simple banquet ended, Father God looked at the lively Little Bubble, Mercury Lamp, and the others in the living room and instructed the two Divine Servants. I knew that it was time to talk about official business.
But what made me speechless was, Shallow Shallow, why are you following a bunch of little girls?
"Hey, hehe …" A certain playful girl scratched her head awkwardly. "I'm helping you look after the children."
Forget it, who would look after you if you were looking after the children?
I pressed Shallow Shallow, who was intending to run around crazily to a seat, and let Liliana and Bubble play with Little Bubble, Mercury Lamp, and the others. Don't look like unreliable lolis on the surface. Deep down, one of them was an older sister, while the other was a mother. With them looking after the children, the children wouldn't go crazy, right?
"Perhaps it's a little sudden to call you to the Divine Realm." After the living room quietened down, Father God and the few Protoss sat down in front of us. With a calm voice that calmed one's heart, the greatest God in the multiverse spoke slowly, "But I feel that it's time to meet up with old friends."
Sandora sat beside me with a dignified and noble posture. She didn't look like a glutton at all. "It's a pity that I won't be able to see many of my friends again. Father, did something happen in the void?"
"What happened to the Empire is a calamity to you, to us, and to all the civilizations that resist the Chaos Abyss." Father God waved his hand and turned to the silent silver-haired girl beside him. "Sola."
"Yeah."
The Dark Goddess replied softly as she took out a pitch-black oval-shaped piece out of thin air.
The moment that thing appeared, I felt the dangerous power that it contained. The air was quickly filled with an unpleasant feeling. Sandora frowned. "The Chaos Abyss?"
"To be precise, it's an amalgamation that has been infected by the Chaos Abyss." Father God took the dangerous item that the Dark Goddess took out with his hand. The lethal power that it contained wasn't strong enough and was almost negligible to Father God. "The Osiris Council sent out dozens of Protoss advance teams. In the end, we found this in a world that had been destroyed inexplicably. Sola used her own power to imprison it. This thing still maintains the same appearance as when it was first discovered. Its predecessor was a fragment of the World Stack System's baseplate. Perhaps I need to explain that the World Stack System is an optional plug-in for the World Management System. Its purpose is to assist in alleviating the negative effects of errors in the Laws and loopholes in the world's design on the world's systems. In other words, it's an immunity mechanism. The power of the Chaos Abyss corroded the World Stack System, ultimately causing the universe to collapse due to the accumulation of loopholes. "
"Uremia." Lin Xue nodded with a solemn expression, which made me give her a knock on the head.
"Was it done by the Fallen Apostles?"
Big Sister couldn't help but blurt out. This guess was confirmed by Father God and there was a follow-up. "It was done by them, but they didn't just destroy that world. In fact, other than this fragment … the entire World Stack System is gone. The advance teams searched through the wreckage of the world. In theory, the World Stack System that should have been preserved until the very end after its destruction has disappeared."
"They stole that thing."
