Chapter 547 The Storm Arrives!

That day, the sky suddenly darkened, and the world let out a mournful roar that echoed in the ears of every deity, lingering endlessly.

The dim light persisted for three full days. After that, the "Guijie" became "Guijie"—these two words were common sense, a nightmare, and could never be forgotten.

The ancient ones had all experienced this period. Among them, the Moon Lord spoke thus.

She could not articulate the specific history.

However, she was certain of one thing: the Evil Gods originated from outside this universe.

Some ancient ones were completely bewildered, recounting that by the time they emerged from their secluded cultivation, the world had become strange.

The Torch of Civilization, now relying on the Fruit of Face and the Fruit of Power, had forged connections with many ancient ones, including top-tier figures like the Moon Lord and the Great Sun God Venerable.

But without exception, none of these ancient ones could offer a clear explanation.

When Fang You asked, they vaguely sensed something was amiss, but they couldn't pinpoint what.

"First, the memories of the ancient ones were not lost, unlike the time of the Twilight of the Gods when they self-mutilated their memories to avoid the spread of filth."

"Second, the Evil Gods originated from beyond the heavens."

"Third, the Evil Gods were one entity, perhaps termed the 'Primal Evil God'."

At the 'end' of the River of Time, Fang You sat on the Pavilion of Time, lost in thought.

Boom—

He piloted his precious pagoda upwards, landing on this segment of the River of Time that had been severed. He triggered nothing.

After a moment's thought, he continued upstream, passing through this bizarrely vanished section and arriving at an even earlier era, before the Evil Gods had descended.

He plunged in.

Splash—

Water sprayed, and the ripples of time and space quickly disappeared, as if nothing had happened.

...

"Praise the supreme..."

"...this era, ruled by the Three Great Divine Systems, is..."

"What is a deity? What is a world?"

Fang You walked through this era for a long time, covering vast distances.

He came and went without a trace. Even when he passed before some deities, they detected nothing. He was like a ghost, silently observing this era.

"It's basically consistent with the ancient records and what the ancient ones narrated."

Compared to the periods of the God-Slaying War, the Twilight of the Gods, and the descent of the Evil Gods, this era existed in a more ancient time but was not mysterious. Human society had ancient records chronicling its history, and there were also living fossils like the ancient ones.

Before entering, Fang You had already learned many secrets.

In this era, the world's area was roughly equivalent to the Central Guijie—the Central Guijie was the former 'world.' He had no way of knowing the world's specific name.

In the late period of the Age of Deities, the world was already quite prosperous, with various races coexisting, and the footprints of intelligent beings spread to every corner of the world.

Of course, the rulers of the world were the deities: the ancient gods and the gods of faith.

Aside from the occasional divine wars that erupted and devastated countless beings, the entire world was remarkably peaceful, remaining so until the Evil Gods descended.

Seemingly no problems, no secrets?

"No!"

"Something is wrong!"

"Have I overlooked something?"

Or perhaps, what had he been forced to overlook?

In this era, who was the most powerful deity?

Who were the first batch of deities who perished at the descent of the Evil Gods?

What was the world's original name!

He walked in this era yet was also detached from it. The more he observed, the more it felt false.

The sense of incongruity in his heart grew stronger.

"Incongruity, that's right."

He finally smiled. "Let me see what has been missing."

He walked towards the center of the world, seeking to touch that elusive mist.

Swish—

A sound of rushing water abruptly echoed in his ears.

The waves of time, coming from afar, repeatedly crashed against his body.

Here, a single drop of water was comparable to an entire world, let alone waves tens or hundreds of meters high.

Enduring the might of time head-on, his Law Godly Body showed faint cracks. Fang You's expression remained unchanged; a faint smile even touched his lips.

After a long time!

Perhaps a day or two, perhaps a year or two, perhaps a hundred or two hundred years!

He parted the mist of time and plucked the flower of historical truth.

...

...

...

"#%^&#@”

On the River of Time, Fang You sat before his pagoda. His Godly Body was dim and lusterless. He slowly, word by word, uttered a name from his mouth.

But this name, once spoken, turned into unrecognizable garbled text.

This was the name of the world, and also...

The honored name of the World Will that was born from this world!

A high-level world, after a long period, could give birth to a world consciousness with independent intelligence.

The Blue Star, in just over ten years, had also given birth to a world consciousness. Like Fang Liu Yin, she was a spirit and liked to manifest as a human, living among ordinary people in human form. But she was different from Fang Liu Yin; she was not an ancient god and had no rank.

She was the manifestation of the Blue Star's power.

"The Blue Star world, if it relied on its world instinct for autonomous defense, could exert a power of 1. If I, with the highest administrator's authority, mobilized the power of the Blue Star world, I could exert a power of 10. But if it were the World Will itself, she could exert at least 100 times the power."

The most powerful deity was not any particular ancient god or god of faith, but '#%^&#@'!</p><p>After all, this primal world was too special; its scale surpassed high-level worlds by tens of thousands or even millions of times!</p><p>Fang You still couldn't see that lost period of history, but he could deduce its outline.</p><p>"The Evil Gods possess extremely high status."</p><p>"Even though these Evil Gods are merely fragmented remnants after the 'fall' of the Primal Evil God."</p><p>"But they... are not impossible to kill."</p><p>...</p><p>Returning to the Blue Star, Fang You's main body stayed in the Apostle Dormitory, recovering his damaged Law Godly Body.</p><p>He condensed another clone and walked on the bustling streets like an ordinary person.</p><p>The Blue Star was developing rapidly, changing with each passing day. Some newly built cities had vastly different styles, displaying numerous 'alien appearances.'</p><p>However, in his eyes, the Blue Star was still the home world he was so familiar with.</p><p>Every blade of grass, every tree, every brick and tile here reflected the past.</p><p>He walked aimlessly.</p><p>A vast consciousness manifested as a human body and followed him.</p><p>The sky of the Blue Star was very blue, as was the entire world. The gray mist drifting in the heavens and on the earth appeared sparse. The strange beings wandering in the wilderness were seen as cute, pounced upon by newly arrived adventurers who cut them down with joyous shouts.</p><p>However, a gray line appeared at the horizon. As seasons passed, the gray line formed clouds, becoming increasingly conspicuous.</p><p>Like dark clouds pressing down on a city.</p><p>No, dark clouds pressing down on the realm.</p><p>"Master, Your Highness Xiguang has sent a group of young men and women from the Ancient Moon Dynasty to the City of Burning Flames, and she has requested that we allow these young people to enter the Blue Star world."</p><p>"Oh, Your Highness Hui Gang of the Red Lotus Empire has also sent a group of descendants."</p><p>The Ancient Moon Dynasty and the Red Lotus Empire themselves managed some extraterrestrial worlds.</p><p>However, these worlds were not safe enough, and it was not easy to send a large number of people to a high-level extraterrestrial world.</p><p>The Blue Star was different.</p><p>Not only could they enter, but more importantly... it was safe!</p><p>"Their emotions are very pessimistic; they wish to leave a way out for their descendants."</p><p>Even though the Torch of Civilization had created the Oasis City Walls, in the eyes of overlords like the Ancient Moon Dynasty and the Red Lotus Empire, the situation was still unstable, and humanity could be overthrown at any moment.</p><p>Furthermore, by sending their descendants away, they could preserve some embers of their civilization, allowing them to fight without reservation.</p><p>The Blue Star was the best way out!</p><p>Even if humanity and the ancient ones were defeated, and the Guijie were annihilated, the Blue Star could still escape into the depths of space. If that were not enough, the Torch of Civilization might even have the ability to escort the Blue Star out of this universe!</p><p>Before the great catastrophe descended, Xiguang and other high-ranking beings had hoped to leave behind some legacy.</p><p>...</p><p>City of Burning Flames, Ancient Moon Dynasty Outpost.</p><p>The Ancient Moon Dynasty was a top-tier overlord force with abundant wealth, and it had purchased a vast tract of land in the City of Burning Flames. Within the outpost, palaces and pavilions stretched endlessly, with divine light radiating out, illuminating the night sky brilliantly.</p><p>However, within this outpost, thousands of young men and women from the royal family, noble families, and direct descendants of powerful figures of the Ancient Moon Dynasty were filled with anxiety.</p><p>A few days prior, they had suddenly been summoned by their elders and then sent to the City of Burning Flames.</p><p>This place was not unfamiliar to them; many had visited this magnificent city before.</p><p>However, this time was different.</p><p>"We will be traveling to the Blue Star, and..."</p><p>"We may never return to the Ancient Moon."</p><p>These individuals generally possessed power above the Four Awakening Non-Human level, with many reaching the Six Awakening Throne level. However, their faces were very youthful; most were teenagers, with only a few exceeding twenty years of age.</p><p>Considering that a Six Awakening being generally had a lifespan of two hundred years, they were still children.</p><p>They were afraid and worried, yet they tried to remain composed.</p><p>They vaguely understood what the future held.</p><p>Leading these people was a young girl in a palace dress. Her face was cold and aloof, radiating an aura of nobility and majesty, making the other girls and boys who seemed to be her age dare not approach her.</p><p>In fact, the girl was not as young as she appeared, but she was still of their age group.</p><p>She was the strongest genius of the Ancient Moon Dynasty, Gong Li, and had already reached the peak of demigod.</p><p>But a peak demigod was of no use to the overall situation.</p><p>"Prepare yourselves. We will depart tonight. The Torch of Civilization will arrange a special train to transport you to the Blue Star and help you establish a city... However, the help we can provide is limited to this. Once you enter the Blue Star, you must abide by its laws. If anyone violates them, the Torch of Civilization will show no mercy."</p><p>"We understand. Thank you very much for your assistance."</p><p>Gong Li bowed slightly. "If the Evil Gods arrive, our Ancient Moon Dynasty will fight with our last drop of blood and never retreat."</p><p>She left quickly. Before the young men and women departed for the Blue Star, Gong Li returned to the Ancient Moon Dynasty.</p><p>She had never intended to seek refuge on the Blue Star.</p><p>However, Fang You also... had no intention of avoiding disaster.</p><p>To shatter the calamity with thunder!</p><p>The Ancient Moon Dynasty and the Red Lotus Empire were just the beginning. Soon, overlord forces like the Seven Star Alliance and the Cloud Atlas Kingdom also sent their descendants to the City of Burning Flames.</p><p>Fang You knew that opening one door would lead to many powerful beings requesting passage.</p><p>But he didn't care.</p><p>The Blue Star had vast land and sparse population with numerous continents. He was already short of manpower to develop new continents, so why would he refuse geniuses sent by various forces?</p><p>Moreover, he had previously sent many Oasis survivors to the Blue Star. Compared to them, the few thousand descendants of the overlords were insignificant.</p><p>"Master, there are also some ancient ones and divine descendants who have requested entry into the Blue Star."</p><p>Fang You: "..."</p><p>"Reject them all."</p><p>"Including powerful humans. If anyone shamelessly makes such a request."</p><p>The actions of humanity were very inconspicuous in the face of the approaching catastrophe.</p><p>In comparison,</p><p>"The Paradise is desperately trying to create a hidden land? Has it already concealed itself in the depths of the spatial layers?"</p><p>"Yes, does Little Huan need to find them?"</p><p>Fang You shook his head.</p><p>He hoped that the powerful beings of all races and the ancient ones would participate in the war, but he could not force them, nor would he place his hopes on them.</p><p>At the same time, many ancient ones were retreating to the ends of space.</p><p>Further beyond lay the cosmic membrane.</p><p>They were waiting.</p><p>"The calamity will descend soon."</p><p>"It might be one month, two months, at most a year."</p><p>"Yes, there have already been prophecies from high gods that the probability of the great catastrophe descending within a year is 100%, and it is highly likely to occur within half a year. Time is running out."</p><p>"When the catastrophe descends, will the awakened Evil Gods completely corrupt and destroy this universe?"</p><p>They were observing.</p><p>If the various Evil God factions fought amongst themselves and ignored them, they could still live in this universe, or even on the outskirts of the Guijie.</p><p>But if the Evil Gods were determined to destroy and assimilate all life, the oasis city walls built by humans would likely not hold.</p><p>Miracles would be powerless before the Evil Gods.</p><p>If they had a choice, they would remain within the universe. If they didn't, they would immediately enter beyond the universe.</p><p>Even if, in the future, they could only live in hiding.</p><p>Ancient ones, one after another, hid in the depths of space, or within the vicinity of the oasis city walls, waiting anxiously.</p><p>At this moment,</p><p>Rumble—</p><p>A vast ocean suddenly rose into the sky. Within it, submerged palaces could be vaguely seen. This was a high-level secret realm, but not an ordinary one.</p><p>This secret realm could not only move but also moved at extremely high speeds, like streams of law, heading towards the cosmic membrane.</p><p>Evil God servants in the middle discovered and attacked it, but they could not shake this ocean-like secret realm and were left far behind.</p><p>"Is it the Sea Demon Empire?"</p><p>"Have they fled with their entire nation?!"</p><p>It could be said to be their entire nation, but it was actually only the upper echelons of the Sea Demon Empire.</p><p>When the high-ranking beings looked, they found that the dozens of super oases under the jurisdiction of the Sea Demon Empire were operating normally. At first glance, there seemed to be many people, but upon closer inspection, it was evident that only the vassal races of the Sea Demon Empire remained.</p><p>In a single night, the Sea Demon Empire fled with its entire nation, leaving behind an empty shell.</p><p>This was too sudden. The Sea Demon Empire had also hidden itself very deeply before, so much so that many ancient ones had not noticed. They stared at the rapidly receding aquamarine secret realm, their pupils flickering with an uncertain light.</p><p>Suddenly,</p><p>The sky darkened. The lights emanating from the various extraterrestrial worlds in space seemed to be extinguished, and they abruptly dimmed.</p><p>A great terror arose.</p><p>At this moment, the minds of the ancient ones were also gripped.</p>
