Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 29 Firm Belief (Large Chapter Seeking Monthly Tickets!)
This wasn't hard to imagine.
Ever since the Sun Emperor, Su Zhou had prepared himself mentally that his future enemies would likely be ‘powerful’ dependents supported by many great existences.
Although, theoretically, there were many strong individuals who were not dependents of great existences, and they might not necessarily be weaker than those with inheritance.
However, that was in a normal multiverse.
In those normal multiverses, the number of dependents was definitely extremely small, and there were few who were sufficiently stubborn and powerful.
But, in the sealed multiverse, in this world of myriad heavens pieced together from the remnants of many great existences, the density and strength of dependents and clans were undoubtedly greatly increased.
Relying on talent and resources, without the guidance of a great existence, a genius could still become a super powerhouse surpassing many dependents and clans.
However, because of the existence of great existences, those with suitable 'mentality' could directly bypass 'talent' and 'resources,' and even directly obtain inheritance.
In terms of convenience alone, this surpassed too much.
"Hoo."
Exhaling a breath, Su Zhou frowned slightly. He concentrated, enduring the mixed scent of multiple great existences, and then carefully sensed the power essence of the End Ten Faces.
In fact, contrary to Yala's complaint that the smell was very strong, the mixture of multiple great existences' auras was not foul, nor did it have any smell.
However, each great existence's aura represented a 'tendency' of thought, an extreme concept. Sensing multiple at the same time would cause a feeling of mental split, a dizziness of cerebral confusion.
If one's will wasn't strong enough, an ordinary person would faint after sensing it even slightly.
However, if one's will was strong enough and one didn't faint, after barely enduring it, then this person might hear some auditory hallucinations in the future, and might even hear some residual inherited knowledge from time to time.
Su Zhou would naturally not be influenced by these biases. When he was serious, even the auras of great existences were sorted out neatly one by one, and ultimately gathered on one side.
Twilight. Unification. Termination. Destiny.
The core aura of End Ten Faces, this Nihilism Order Annihilation Envoy, as a dependent of a great existence, was these four categories.
"But, there's no malice."
After carefully sensing it once, Su Zhou's tightly knitted brows not only didn't relax, but his expression became even more solemn.
He retracted his hand, looked at the four groups of different colored great existence auras in front of him, and fell into deep thought: "Strange...why is there not a trace of malice? There's even an extremely strong 'expectation' placed upon it?"
The dim yellow radiance shone silently.
The blazing white shallow flames intertwined fiercely.
The pure black dim light rotated incessantly.
The lead gray streamers pulsed rhythmically.
Different auras flowed. If one were encountering the aura of a great existence for the first time, then even the strongest powerhouse would be stunned for a moment, but Su Zhou could accurately distinguish the differences of each, and the 'expectations' hidden behind each aura.
He could sense that, in the beginning, [Unification] bestowed inheritance and a path. It hoped that the original civilization of End Ten Faces could gather strength, overcome difficulties, and reach a higher realm.
He could sense that, afterward, [Termination] gave power and supernatural abilities. It hoped that the prototype of End Ten Faces could terminate the wrong era and choices, and create a future of hope from despair.
Su Zhou closed his eyes tightly. In his perception, even [Destiny], which was often scolded by Yala and even belittled as 'trash' and 'destiny? No one believes it!', didn't have any malicious desires.
It simply guided, guiding the prototype civilization of 'End Ten Faces' forward. It provided a perfect script. As long as that civilization did as It said, they could undo all mistakes and start anew.
But.
But...
End Ten Faces didn't choose this path.
Or rather, they did follow Destiny's guidance at first, but just as their Unification wasn't thorough, and their Termination wasn't thorough, when facing Destiny's guidance, their execution wasn't thorough either.
So, they completely failed instead, and could only fall into nothingness, hearing the voice of [Twilight].
Then, they were used by the Nihilism Order, becoming Annihilation Envoys, spreading the nothingness in their hearts to the entire universe.
Until not long ago.
Su Zhou brought the true meaning of [Twilight], and Twilight embraced It, allowing this desperate civilization, or rather, this desperate ‘god,’ to rest in peace.
The youth could sense everything that End Ten Faces had encountered in the past, especially how He had obtained the auras of many great existences, and how they had influenced Him.
But all of this made it difficult for him to understand.
"Yala."
Su Zhou asked, perplexed. He opened his eyes, his gaze doubtful: "Are there many dependents like End Ten Faces, who have walked the paths of several great existences, and ultimately fell into Twilight, in the past?"
"Or rather, is it really possible to do this?"
"Of course, it's possible." The snake spirit replied calmly. It said in a low voice: "Great existences themselves don't care about this kind of behavior. After all, pulling in other people's dependents can prove their own correctness—but internally, dependents will regard this behavior as betrayal."
"Moreover, for example, Perfection, the Twin God Trees, and the Silent Lord, Their paths can even perfectly coexist with the paths of other great existences. It doesn't matter if they're mixed or not—after all, we only demand correctness, not purely correctness."
"But, this situation is a bit off."
Saying so, Yala raised her tail, pointing to the other three great existence auras besides Twilight: "Having walked the paths of many great existences, and still falling into Twilight in the end...if the 'firm belief' of dependents is so cheap, and can be replaced so easily, and then be so easily despaired..."
The snake spirit turned her head to look at Su Zhou.
She made eye contact with her covenantor, saying each word carefully: "Su Zhou, think about yourself."
"—Would you be like this?"
"If you were this kind of person, do you think you could become, or rather, would you be worthy of becoming a dependent of a great existence, receiving favor?"
Su Zhou was silent for a while.
Of course, he wouldn't be worthy.
And he certainly wouldn't.
From the very beginning until now, he had always 'firmly believed' in his own path, his own thoughts, his own correctness. He had never thought of denying it from start to finish, only constantly changing it, constantly innovating it.
It could even be said that the reason why Su Zhou wanted to create the Path of Innovation was precisely because he firmly believed that he hadn't deviated from correctness. Although there were occasional mistakes, it was fine as long as he corrected them.
This was firm belief.
But the predecessor civilization of End Ten Faces, that psionic civilization that was on the verge of extinction because of the severance of psionic energy, wasn't like this.
They wavered, were at a loss, couldn't unite with one heart, nor did they have the great determination to abandon everything to terminate, nor could they consistently follow the guidance of destiny...
Even, in the end, they didn't 'gracefully' admit their failure, leaving behind inheritance or seeds to wait for revival, but desperately fell into Twilight.
Then, they were twisted, becoming annihilation monsters.
This was completely different from what Su Zhou had imagined before.
He originally thought that other great existences had interfered with the path of Twilight, so End Ten Faces was born, making it a Nihilistic Annihilation Envoy...but now it seemed that although it couldn't be said to be self-inflicted, the final ending of End Ten Faces was indeed created by their own hands.
"...Then what exactly is Their purpose?"
Reaching into his chest, gripping the Heaven God Scale tightly, Su Zhou's heart was now full of confusion: "Great existences 'love' all living beings, so they wouldn't deceive them, and most likely wouldn't mislead them to extinction...but why would They join forces, guiding a civilization that wasn't qualified to become Their dependent at all, and then finally turn it into what it is now?"
—Good question, Yala didn't know either.
So, the entire hall fell silent. Except for Ning Hui, who didn't understand the situation, it was quiet.
"I guess..."
The snake spirit wagged her tail for at least two minutes. After a long silence, she spoke with some difficulty, revealing a possibility.
Yala said with a very subtle expression: "They might be planning...to create a new 'correctness'?"
"No interference, no excessive guidance, just giving strength and advice, not forcing, not demanding...it's like giving fishing tools to children, hoping they can catch fish themselves (belief and correctness), instead of Them giving fish (bestowing correctness)?"
Even Yala couldn't confirm this idea, because it was obviously a fantasy.
Shaking her head, the snake spirit almost reprimanded: "That's so wrong—without our guidance, how many paths will all living beings stray from in that long journey?!"
"Not to mention anything else, just take your human civilization, Su Zhou. How many of the ideas of your sages, after less than a hundred years, have deviated from their original path because of reality and objective difficulties?"
"The most important thing for us great existences isn't to provide 'means,' which is those supernatural abilities and inheritances...we are a shining lighthouse beacon for all dependents, proving that this path is correct, and as long as they persevere, they will definitely succeed—'firm belief'!"
"Losing 'firm belief' almost certainly means deviating from the path and embarking on a fork in the road...just like the original civilization of End Ten Faces, sadly falling into this state..."
At first, Su Zhou wanted to refute Yala's statement a bit.
After all, according to this statement, wouldn't that mean that there could never have been great existences from the very beginning?
Before becoming powerhouses of this level, most great existences hadn't encountered this kind of guidance. Didn't They still achieve supreme status in the end, transcending the multiverse They were in?
From this, it could be seen that the guidance of great existences wasn't necessary.
However.
Just as Su Zhou was about to speak, he saw a trace of sorrow in Yala's eyes.
At this moment, the snake spirit was raising her head, gazing at the Cocoon of Twilight behind the sealing barrier in front of her.
That was a trace of sorrow born from the bottom of her heart for the ending of the original civilization of End Ten Faces.
——If it were [Chaos]...as long as They persisted in their hearts, then even if it was only a little, only a few people, they would definitely be saved and able to continue, instead of being exterminated.
——If it were [Me], I would definitely have better suggestions than Them, which would allow them to embark on the correct path.
——If [I] were to guide them, they...wouldn't become like this now, with such an ending.
Such a heartfelt voice burst forth from the deepest depths of her soul.
Therefore, the youth listened silently.
——How arrogant, ignoring any conditions, to think that one's own path can definitely save this civilization.
——How presumptuous, having clearly seen the failures of other great existences, but still believing that one can succeed.
——What a conceited delusion, that if it was [Me], I could, and they would embark on the correct path.
But, this was precisely [Correctness].
This was the posture of [Correctness].
At this moment, Su Zhou suddenly understood something.
——Before the great existences in front of him became great existences, how many tribulations did They experience? How much pain and sorrowful endings did They witness?
Without a doubt, They had experienced everything, encountered everything, faced countless difficulties and obstacles on their endless journey, and defeated, eliminated, and annihilated all those obstacles.
They had naturally witnessed all the ugliness, and personally experienced all the disasters, knowing the taste of despair and pain.
But even so.
Even so, They still chose 'love.'
Their [Love] wasn't an ethereal, arrogant bestowal.
Rather, it was the [Firm Belief] that was still upheld after witnessing everything, after witnessing the true and genuine [Eternity].
Although it might be a bit unorthodox, a bit lowering of standards, a bit untimely.
But for some reason, Su Zhou suddenly felt that the so-called guidance of great existences might essentially just be not wanting all living beings to step into the rivers They had once stepped into, but rather to be able to walk on a bridge They had already built, a smooth path.
It was just hoping that all living beings could know how hard and painful the South Wall was before crashing into it, and then turn their heads back.
Therefore, Yala reacted so strongly to the behavior of [Unification], [Termination], and [Destiny], who gave strength and advice but didn't provide guidance.
Because, the other party's behavior betrayed the original intention of great existences—They let all living beings make mistakes and embark on the wrong path.
Because of Their inaction and lack of guidance, a civilization that should have had hope was destroyed as a result, and transformed into an envoy of nothingness.
This was clearly unrelated to love, hence it angered the snake spirit.
Without the guidance of great existences, new great existences would still emerge in the multiverse.
But, how much would the number of civilizations that went extinct along the way increase by?
And how many civilizations that should have been able to continue, but were only lacking a little bit of opportunity, a little bit of insignificant inspiration and strength, disappeared regretfully just like that?
The guidance of great existences might not be entirely for creating 'transcendents'...more of it was for those unknown ordinary civilizations and ordinary lives.
But for some reason, even knowing this, Su Zhou still felt a bit subtle.
Because he was precisely the kind of person who wouldn't turn back even after crashing into the South Wall, and wouldn't turn back even after crashing into it.
The actions of great existences like Unification could essentially be seen as giving the civilization of End Ten Faces the opportunity to choose their own path, allowing them to try to embark on the correct path themselves...it was just that facing the guidance of three different great existences, the civilization of End Ten Faces still didn't grasp the opportunity, to the point of being extinguished in despair.
Was this done badly?
Su Zhou felt that it was already very good.
Without the inheritance, knowledge, and strength given by great existences like Unification, the civilization of End Ten Faces would have been extinguished thousands of years ago. There was basically no possibility of a second ending, even if, as Yala thought, He had guided them, it was estimated that they would have had little chance of surviving the Silent Era.
Yes, it could be better...but that was a 'salvation' that civilizations couldn't expect.
【When encountering desperate situations, humans shouldn't fantasize that someone will come to save them】
Su Zhou didn't say these thoughts, because he also felt that Yala was right, and even more right.
However, because of this, he also roughly understood that there were indeed extremely large ideological differences between the great existences like Unification, and Yala's side.
"In short, it can already be confirmed."
Shaking his head, he sighed: "The great existences behind the Nihilism Order are these—it seems I'll have to convene another Milky Way Civilization Conference later, and tell the Senostian Civilization about this..."
"Treating them as pure dependents of Twilight would be a big loss."
In fact, there was no need to convene another conference.
Because most of the researchers studying End Ten Faces were high-level researchers directly under the major civilizations.
They themselves were ambassadors, or even higher in status than ambassadors.
As long as he could tell them the results of this research, it would basically be equivalent to telling all civilizations.
Ning Hui went to notify the researchers who were purifying the Twilight aura, and Su Zhou prepared in the research institute, announcing this rather subversive great news about the essence of the Nihilism Order.
However, just before the personnel gathered.
Su Zhou sensed that the originally peaceful ‘Cocoon of Twilight,’ the body of End Ten Faces in slumber, suddenly showed signs of activity.
This anomaly was originally imperceptible, but after achieving the position of Celestial Venerable, centered on Su Zhou, his power, his ‘Dao,’ would constantly spread towards the surrounding heaven and earth, deeply penetrating all the surrounding spiritual energy.
Then, just like Su Zhou's personal space, the areas that his spiritual energy had penetrated would obey Su Zhou's commands and domination to a certain extent, also making him far more sensitive in this field than ordinary Celestial Immortals.
So, without any warning, the changes in the Cocoon of Twilight were detected by him.
So, Su Zhou turned his head, calmly reached out his hand, ready to suppress the changes with pure power at any time.
He was naturally not nervous at all. After all, End Ten Faces had been beaten up by his body, and now that he was complete in both soul and body, and had advanced to Celestial Venerable, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of a seriously injured and sleeping Celestial Immortal.
"Dong."
A shock came from inside the cocoon.
On the orbit of Jupiter, the massive body of the Cocoon of Twilight began to emit light, a strange, turbid halo mixed with gold, gray, and white colors. This halo expanded rapidly from the Cocoon of Twilight as the center. Judging by this trend, this halo seemed to be able to directly extend to touch the surface of Jupiter.
At this time, Su Zhou raised his hand and pointed, and a dazzling pillar of light overflowing with lightning rapidly flew out, accurately hitting the very center of the Cocoon of Twilight.
Su Zhou's ‘Lightning of Annihilation’ could suppress all abnormal fluctuations of spiritual energy. The moment this lightning hit the Cocoon of Twilight, a ripple sufficient to calm all spiritual energy fluctuations began to spread. A terrifying shockwave containing Lightning of Annihilation swept across all directions at almost imperceptible speed, instantly overshadowing all turbid halos.
For a time, even the entire Cocoon of Twilight began to squirm painfully—but Su Zhou was shocked, because he had acted with great restraint, simply suppressing End Ten Faces, without intending to inflict pain on the other party and wake Him up.
Then why would the Cocoon of Twilight sense pain?
"Wait!"
Soon, the youth reacted. The real problem wasn't the Cocoon of Twilight, but something even more grand, which was difficult to detect at first glance even from the perspective of a Celestial Venerable.
"It's the entire space-time of the universe?!"
Looking up in astonishment, Su Zhou looked at the boundless space of the universe.
At this moment, he saw that at the Jupiter port not far away, the space-time gate leading to the Earth-Moon system was being bent and deformed by a strange force. It changed from its original perfect circle to an ellipse, then began to flatten, then returned to its original shape...at the edge of the space-time gate, he could see cracks appearing. That was the precursor to the collapse of the entire teleportation array.
Above the boundless universe, the cracks in the Great Seal were shaking and turbulent.
Boom——Boom——!!
Such a sound, like thunder, and like the collapse of stars, seemed to ring from the infinite void outside the universe, spreading throughout the heavens and the myriad realms of space-time.
It rang, not only in the sealed universe, but in all the worlds, in every world in the endless space-time of the sealed multiverse, they could hear this loud noise.
Su Zhou gripped the Heaven God Scale in his chest, his heart sinking. He could sense that the Heaven God Scale in his hand was heating up and radiating light. Such a moment had happened once in the past, and only once.
That was when he witnessed the choice of a [Great Existence] when he returned from Qingqiu Star and broke through to become a Terrestrial Immortal.
That was the moment when [Pioneer] chose to self-sleep in the Great Seal, exchanging it for the power of the Pioneer Space to travel unrestrictedly throughout the entire sealed multiverse!
In other words...the current changes were undoubtedly related to the changes of one, or even multiple great existences!
"It's actually Them..."
At this moment, Su Zhou heard Yala's murmuring voice, and he didn't need to be reminded. Having already advanced to Celestial Venerable, he could see so much more than before.
Raising his head and looking outside the space-time of the universe, Su Zhou's solemn gaze could see the void, and at the limit of his vision, infinite azure light was boiling, and incredible life spiritual energy stirred up the great power that revived countless dead worlds, spreading like a storm to every corner of the entire multiverse.
The power of the Twin God Trees, [World] and [Great Dao], was spreading under Their will, extending to every corner of the sealed multiverse just like Their [Dao and Correctness]!
Icy Void - Ash Zone, Icy Void - Extreme Darkness Zone, Icy Void - Dragon Snake World Cluster...countless multiverse regions that Su Zhou knew and didn't know were being submerged and infiltrated by this blue-green tide like beaches submerged by the tide.
No one would refuse this pure gift, especially the worlds.
However, not all.
The azure tide spread to every part of the multiverse, but ultimately encountered a circle of emptiness at the edge of the multiverse. That was absolute emptiness, the highest void. Here, the blue-green light faded in color, then evaporated into gas, turning into flying ashes and dissipating. Even the root-like veins that extended there withered and broke, instantly dissolving into nothingness.
And this nothingness even spread along the veins of the roots, going against the trajectory of the azure tide all the way, cutting off the power that came later.
The power of [Twilight] rejected the spread of the Twin God Trees.
Countless universes were shaking because of this touch.
Watching this scene, Su Zhou suddenly understood that the changes in the Heaven God Scale, the Cocoon of Twilight, and the space-time gate were all because of this.
Because of the power aftermath of the three great existences, the entire sealed multiverse began to shake.
"What's going on?!"
"Those cracks, those cracks are shaking again!"
For a time, the civilizations in countless space-times throughout the entire universe noticed this scene.
They either ran around in shock, or forcibly calmed down, and recorded this scene in their history.
However, some civilizations with outstanding research on space-time also keenly perceived a fact.
【Strange.】 On Earth, Yan Sheng compared the changes in the universe cracks caused by the last time [Pioneer] took action in his database with the degree of changes in this anomaly. His tone was somewhat puzzled: 【Such obvious vibrations, even the space-time gate is about to be distorted and shattered.】
【Why don't these universe cracks have any tendency to spread?】
"How did They...suddenly clash?"
Although the momentum was so great, and even the Great Seal and the Icy Void seemed unable to stop Their will, Su Zhou didn't feel any danger, but simply felt shocked: "Clearly, when the Twin God Trees were talking to us before, They didn't show any intention of seeking revenge on Twilight, right?"
"A guess, not necessarily correct."
Yala patted her tail, and then hesitated: "Look...aren't the Twin God Trees' world groups, such as the Aeon World, still mixed in with the Twilight world groups?"
"So I think, this shouldn't be seeking revenge, just simply taking the children back."
...Taking the children back, and there's such a big scene?
Su Zhou couldn't help but show a somewhat dazed expression. He really couldn't connect this expression with the facts.
"After all, everyone is just remnants, and they're still sealed, so it's not surprising that they can't control themselves very well."
Yala had been calm all along after being surprised at the beginning, but the snake spirit still showed a somewhat tricky expression: "And...this is actually a conspiracy."
"From the beginning of influencing the World Tree and the Great Dao Tree to separate, to being entangled with Twilight...until the current situation, this is all a conspiracy!"
"Yes."
Su Zhou quickly reacted to this point. He frowned tightly, watching the Great Seal cracks in the sky of the universe that were radiating azure halos: "It seems that the Nihilism Order will soon be taking action..."
In fact, it was indeed so.
When Su Zhou urgently summoned all the researchers and told them all the results he had obtained from the Cocoon of Twilight, he received an urgent communication from the Senostians.
That was a brief, but very serious transmission and response.
【Twilight Starfield, most of the sealing cracks have been broken due to the universe's vibration. Tens of millions of void demons are pouring in. We are doing our best to suppress them, but we cannot guarantee that we can stop them all】
【Lord Su Zhou, we, and even the civilizations of the entire Milky Way, need your strength】
This was a message from the Senostian Civilization from the far side of the Milky Way.
"Mm."
And Su Zhou replied: "I'm setting off now."
The youth's expression was solemn and dignified. This was the Nihilism Order's conspiracy, and the most dangerous head-on confrontation.
As the only Celestial Venerable in the entire Milky Way, and even the observable universe, he was duty-bound.
【No】
However, the Senostian Civilization's reply was somewhat beyond Su Zhou's expectations.
【No need for you to move—that would be too much of a waste of time】
They said in this way, with a determined calmness: 【Now that things have come to this, there's no need to hide anything...】
【We will use the power of the sacred object ‘Milky Way Star’ to summon your arrival!】
"Oh?"
Su Zhou raised his eyebrows.
The other side of space-time.
Surrounded by the broken subspace and the real universe, the massive blue sun was gradually collapsing and scattering. However, the supernova radiance that should have erupted couldn't chain together due to the loss of mass, causing a star that should have had a brilliant end to usher in a gradually dimming ending.
Senostian Civilization - Twilight Starfield Outer Starfield Fortress, a massive steel fortress comparable to a planet was suspended in the comet cluster, observing the ending of the stars on the other side of space-time from afar.
Facing this darkness that was gradually devouring the star, the Elder of the Senostian Council of Elders, Amorot the Priest, had a solemn gaze. The blue firelight flickered in His three pairs of eyes, and the massive giant body propped up a light blue field shield, blocking the 'malice' that slowly extended from the center of the starfield.
The Golden Fleet surrounded the fortress, assisting the Elder in supporting this shield.
Amorot stared at the darkness that was devouring the star in front of him, and the giant composed of flames couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
【In the end, it was still broken】
He murmured softly, with a hint of self-mockery: 【Because of the mutual strife of the evil gods of the other world, my clan's seal that sealed the void demons was shattered by the aftermath...Perhaps, this is the scene that those members of the Nihilism Order wanted to see】
It could be seen that in front of this fortress, shrouded in a dim yellow mist, in the center of the starfield called ‘Twilight,’ a huge crack was spreading, and hundreds of millions of dark spots were pouring out of it.
Then, like an ant colony, they dragged the mass of the blue star in the center of the starfield, pulling it towards the other side of space-time.
And the other side of space-time was a more hazy world, completely eroded by the mist.
A strange world that seemed to have no matter, and was purely composed of spiritual matter.
That was a strange universe that was completely different from the physical laws of this universe, and basically had nothing in common except for spiritual energy.
The Elder didn't know what the world on the other side of space-time was. When the Senostian Civilization fought against the dependents of many evil gods of the other world in the past, He hadn't been born yet, and He had just grown up before that war gradually came to an end and the Silent Era began.
At that time, Amorot could only hear the legends in the clan, and yearned for the strength and achievements of his predecessors.
He really didn't know the beginning.
However, He knew the result.
He knew that the moment that spiritual matter universe crack opened in the Twilight Starfield, which was also the former capital of the Senostian home star system, the chaotic cosmic constants erased almost all life below transcendence on both sides of the universe. Even though every adult in the Senostian race could reach the level of transcendence leader, too many of the initial bodies of the children of the planets perished.
Then, it was war.
The other side of space-time seemed to be the core area of a spiritual matter civilization. That was a civilization that worshiped the 【End Evil God】. Their thoughts and ideas were incomprehensible to all Senostians, but their power was real. If it weren't for the power of the Milky Way Star, even the Galactic Upper Kingdom would have difficulty gaining the upper hand and could only fight a long war of attrition.
In addition, the appearance of the universe cracks also attracted a large number of strange void evil creatures. Those were monsters that both sides wanted to kill, and were truly terrifying.
【War...war never stops】
At this moment, the Elder could sense that on the other side of space-time, that ancient enemy, and the many evil spirits that bewitched them, were about to set out, and this time, their goal was by no means just a starfield, an arm...what they wanted was the entire Milky Way, and even the universe.
And this time, wanting to stop them with the not-fully-powerful Senostians, and a Milky Way Star, might be impossible.
Only, another Milky Way Star...a fragment called the ‘Heaven God Scale’...
Amorot closed his eyes. He sighed, sighing for the coming strife, and the many blood that would be shed.
【Is the ritual ready?】
He turned his head and asked his deputy: 【What is our mission?】
【It's ready, Elder】
His deputy, a Senostian formed by the South China Sea monsoon, replied in a deep voice: 【The sacred object is in place, and we are about to carry out an Ω-level spiritual energy replacement...directly transferring that Lord to this place】
Yes.
It could only be so.
In the past, during the last period of the spiritual energy severance, all the powerhouses of the glorious Senostian Civilization chose to leave this universe and go to the other side of space-time to fight the heretics of the other world, preventing them from eagerly spying on this universe.
They did leave many legacies, but these few years were far from the time when the legacies could be revived.
The Elder knew very well that with the characteristics of the Senostians, as long as He stood on a planet, His strength could directly break through the Overlord level, reach the Immortal α-level, and even go a step further and break through to the Ω-level.
With the sacred object - the Milky Way Star, this was not difficult to achieve.
But, this could only be done when a child of a planet stood on a planet.
Could it be that they would only resist after the enemy had attacked the living planet?!
How could that be possible? That was the humiliation of all the children of the planets!
Compared to this, it was better to put aside the meaningless conceit and seek help from the entire Milky Way.
【Elder, the reinforcements from the Ascendant Empire and the Hegemony Empire are on their way】
On the other side, the deputy was still reporting the news: 【The Myriad Federation has blocked forty-seven Nihilism Order fleets that are heading towards the periphery of the Twilight Starfield. The power of those cosmic pests is indeed starting to erupt now. They will be a little late, but not too late】
【Mm, very good. This has exceeded our expectations】
Amorot nodded slightly. He knew very well that in the situation where all the Galactic Upper Kingdoms had just barely recovered a bit of vitality and were starting to return to the stage of the universe, being able to pull out a batch of elite family assets to support another civilization was a very selfless act.
It should be known that if their core starfield was suddenly attacked by the Nihilism Order, which was a feint, after providing support, what would they do? Who could deny this possibility?
Therefore, the existence of reinforcements was enough to make Amorot happy.
However, there was not only good news.
【However, the ‘Mayfly Zerg’ and the ‘Abyssal Doomfiends’ in the subspace have extremely obvious tendencies to change...They are gathering, and the target...is us!】
【That's nothing. The Mayfly Zerg and the Soul-Devouring Clowns are not to be feared】
The Elder turned around and walked towards the core of the fortress: 【As long as nothing goes wrong on the ‘Star-Eater Graveyard’ in the Shining Zone...It is said that the Nihilism Order had eroded many Star-Eaters before the Silent Era. I can only hope that this is not true, or that it was not successful】
【Not yet】
The deputy followed closely behind, He was a little nervous: 【But Elder, those monsters on the other side of the space-time cracks seem to have come prepared...We may not be able to hold on until the reinforcements arrive!】
【Indeed】
Amorot admitted without hesitation. He walked in large strides on the road leading to the core of the fortress: 【The enemy is not the same as us. They may not have even encountered the spiritual energy severance and have full strength—of course, they may also have been affected, but in any case, their power is stronger than ours now】
【So, that's why we are asking for help, isn't it?】
The calm voice gradually calmed the nervous deputy down.
Soon, Amorot and His deputy arrived at the core of the fortress.
There, on the towering sacred platform, was a silver star fragment suspended.
It was surrounded by bright flowing flames, shining holy light, and a solemn aura mixed with fluctuations that seemed to transcend space-time, and was located in the core of the entire Twilight Fortress, easily providing far more abundant energy than the fortress's core engine by many times.
This was just the aftermath—Amorot had witnessed the most dazzling moment of this star fragment. At that time, the star fragment that shone alone in the dark void illuminated the endless universe, and the intertwined seal patterns seemed to envelop the entire world.
And now, this fragment was resonating, summoning.
It rotated and shone, summoning the arrival of its kind from the distant other side.
【Look, our strongest reinforcement】
Staring at the Milky Way Star in front of him, Elder Amorot said calmly without blinking: 【The Candlelight of Earth, the only Lord in this Milky Way now, is about to arrive here to fight alongside us】
