Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 14 Past and Present
The battle in the sky would last for a considerable amount of time.
Of course, perhaps not time, because time was meaningless to the combatants. But for the young man on the ground, the battle ended very quickly.
The moment Alan drew his sword, both the Shadow Envoy and the paused Light Flame Soldier felt a great threat, a power sufficient to threaten their lives was spreading.
"What exactly is this power? It's not the Goddess of Day, it's even more violent than her..."
The Shadow Envoy waved his staff, and shadow spikes like sea urchin needles flew towards Alan along the shadow beneath his feet.
These spikes were extremely sharp, seemingly invisible yet capable of easily cutting through steel. The rocky ground they passed over was completely shattered.
But Alan only took one step forward, and lava fissures burst open on the ground, swallowing many shadows.
The light flame divine magic brought by Zhuzhou naturally restrained all incantation-based spells, and unlike the general light-based neutralization, Zhuzhou's light was a fire that burned incantations, devouring the enemy's resentment and constantly growing stronger.
Boom!
Therefore, accompanied by a booming explosion, the light flame became more intense, and countless lava balls like cannonballs also flew towards the Shadow Envoy with this step.
"It's actually ineffective?"
The Shadow Envoy wasn't surprised. He had already sensed a power in Alan that was not inferior to that of an ordinary demigod hero. The 'divine power' in the opponent's body had obviously been awakened. In that case, the opponent's 'Poem Miracle' was the truly important thing.
Without an order, the shadow puppets who were entangled with the Light Flame Soldiers immediately broke away from their targets and lunged towards Alan's side at a rapid speed.
But the result was astonishing—the young man's eyes swept across, and he chanted in a low voice.
【The path of the righteous is like the light of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until noon】
Bang!
A muffled sound of burning flames rang out.
With Alan's eyes as the source, a gentle glow lit up, and then transformed into a soft but tough light shield, covering and spreading throughout his body, resisting all incoming miracles and magic.
The Poem Miracle originating from Zhuzhou was guiding the power that was already surging within Alan, a mighty force that the young man had never sensed in the past, but was now churning endlessly.
Streaks of light ignited the shadows, even burning them in reverse, spreading along the spiritual veins of the shadow puppets towards the horrified Shadow Envoy. This immediately caused the old staff-wielding man's heart to palpitate, and he immediately severed his connection with the shadow puppets.
Sure enough, in the next instant, all the shadow puppets completely melted away like rising water vapor or melting ice when they touched the light flame shield around Alan.
Even the resentful souls, elemental spirits, and spiritual totems that were bound in the shadow puppets were freed, dissipating in thanks as they transformed into light and ascended to the sky.
"So powerful!"
"What kind of great miracle is this?"
"Even the 'Dawn Radiance Hymn' is only barely comparable!"
The Light Flame Soldiers were somewhat confused at first. Alan's power was similar to theirs, so they thought they had encountered unknown reinforcements. But when the shadow puppets were transferred to attack Alan and were easily eliminated, they even regarded Alan as an ally.
However, the divine decree that was later transmitted from the sky stunned these warriors who believed in the Daybreak God King.
【Eliminate Alan】
A message without any emotion came from above: 【Eliminate Zhuzhou】
【Eliminate all living beings before you】
"My Lord?!"
Although puzzled, the Light Flame Soldiers were accustomed to obeying orders. Since the gods had already issued this command, they would act.
Whether they themselves thought the other party was innocent or whether they should be eliminated... that was another matter.
The divine decree was so.
"Kill!" Immediately, the female captain took the lead and a white light lit up on her body. This light was pure and bright, like the most brilliant sunlight at noon. And as soon as this light touched Alan's body, the female captain transformed into light and teleported to the young man's side.
Without any hesitation, she swung the half-sword in her hand, slashing diagonally from the upper left to the lower right, wanting to cut Alan in two. The force was so great that the aftermath alone caused cracks to appear in the land and rocks beneath the young man's feet.
At the same time, the Shadow Envoy seemed to have heard the divine decree. He also let out a roar and raised his staff. Immediately, the gray gemstone embedded at the top of the staff shattered, and visible black shadow lights burst out, like black snakes wandering in the atmosphere, devouring all the vitality of the world.
Ten black snakes were constantly growing stronger with all the vitality energy between heaven and earth, rushing towards Alan's front and back with sharp howls. At the same time, the female captain's blade of light also slashed down with a shrill sound.
【He who does wrong will receive wrong in return, and God does not show partiality】
But Alan, who raised his sword, spoke his second miracle poem.
He wielded the sword, using the swordsmanship his father had taught him, and cut open all the incoming corrosive black snakes. Whether it was a lightning-like pounce or a whirlwind-like slash, all of them were blocked and cut open by the light-like dancing sword.
The greater the incantations on the enemy's body, the greater the increase in Alan's power at this moment. If the enemy was a benevolent person without any bad deeds, Alan's miracle would be useless, and even greatly consume his physical strength due to chanting this poem.
However, whether it was the Shadow Envoy or the Light Flame Soldiers, whether they used darkness or light, the incantations residing on their bodies could be described as mountains of corpses and seas of blood, a hell of no return.
So Alan at this moment was stronger than all of them combined!
Boom!!
A streak of sword light split the atmosphere, shattering the blessed half-sword in the female captain's shocked gaze, and devouring the corrosive snakes under the Shadow Envoy's incredulous gaze. A terrifying sound of the atmosphere burning resounded, it was the aftermath of the sword light shattering the air and ionizing the atmosphere.
The Shadow Envoy, as the main target of this slash, was immediately sent flying, and in the process of flying, a golden-red fire line appeared on his chest and abdomen. As this fire line separated, this inspector of the Shadow Temple was shockingly cut into two pieces by a single slash, and the burning light flame attached to the wound, making it difficult to heal!
As the Light Flame Soldiers were swept away by the aftermath, even the sandstorm was stopped by this reverse wind storm.
For a time, the world was clear, and even the celestial phenomena were suppressed by the mighty power of the Divine Envoy.
At the entrance of the temple.
Eve was watching all of this.
The expressionless girl witnessed everything with her own eyes—those who suddenly appeared in the village, killed the villagers, destroyed the houses, and wanted to hurt her, were being suppressed by the young man who claimed to make her happy and protect her.
He did what he said, he did what she wanted, he fulfilled what he promised her.
So... what should she do now?
Eve thought about it, recalling the legendary stories that Alan had told her on many days and nights.
She tentatively opened her mouth.
"Go, Alan!"
She encouraged him.
Immediately, on the other side of the battlefield, as if he had heard this not-so-loud encouragement, the light flame of the apprentice Zhuzhou became three points more intense, making all the enemies dealing with his attacks suffer unspeakably.
Behind Eve, Elias watched all of this with a smile.
【Alan, your power is a divine power called 'Change'. In the distant past, you were never able to awaken because the conditions for your awakening were also constantly changing. It was almost impossible for you to achieve yourself and become a 'God'】
【And Eve too, her power is a mighty force called 'Eternity'. As long as it is not eternal, it is impossible for her to awaken... But what in the world can be eternal, can make the Goddess of Eternity realize her mission?】
【But... only eternity is something that 'Change' cannot change... and only 'Change' is the true 'Eternity' in this multiverse】
【You were originally interdependent, walking together through many eras—you have left all beings in this Song of Creation macro-universe the opportunity to become gods and achieve the Dao, with eternity leading the cycle of eras and all things rising】
The god who saw through the truth behind all of this, raised his head and looked at the high heavens: 【But those shallow gods have overlooked your sacrifice】
【They want to occupy your power for themselves, so they want to disappoint you, make you give up, and then plunder your divine power... to become 'Eternity' themselves】
Elias shook his head slightly: 【They almost succeeded】
【But it is absolutely impossible to succeed】
【Because there is me, there is the teacher... there are all those who see injustice and are unwilling to see tragedy take action】
【So everything is not predetermined, and there will inevitably be a better ending】
Above the high heavens, at the top of the firmament.
One could hear Zhuzhou's mocking laughter.
"Eliminate Alan, eliminate Zhuzhou, eliminate all living beings?"
The young man's voice was almost maniacal, he made no secret of his hatred and contempt for the other party: "Realizing that something is wrong, realizing that history and destiny are beginning to change, so you can't afford to play and want to flip the table and start over, right? No one sees it, no one observes it, so that part of history that has been eliminated can be written by you at will, right?"
【Say what you will, Primal Zhuzhou】
At this moment, on top of the firmament, one could vaguely see a winding, coiled giant dragon, that was the Primal Zhuzhou · Multiverse Supernatural Battle Form 7.30, a pitch-black giant dragon whose three sharp horns flickered with dazzling lightning, dazzling fire, and flickering soft starlight.
The three great supernatural powers of Judgement, Purification, and Prayer were penetrating deep into the foundation of the universe, transforming into the three great poems of 【Revelation】, 【Proverbs】, and 【Covenant】, achieving the localization of supernatural powers.
Opposing him were the Gemini God Kings, seated on either side of the chariot, on the left and right.
The Goddess of Day and the Goddess of Night, Pulanfu and Noel, were waiting in formation, guarding against the divine dragon's supernatural powers.
The Daybreak God King Pulanfu tapped her shield with her spear, making a loud and sonorous military music. She rebuked in a deep voice: 【Although I don't know how you did it, Aptu actually didn't stop your erosion in the Overture Era, allowing the name of Zhuzhou to continue to this day... but this is the end of it】
【Zhuzhou, you do have great divine power, but you really don't understand the rules of our Song of Creation macro-universe... Yes, as long as no one sees it, no one records it, and no one observes all of this, we can rewrite the Akashic Records of the universe, making it as if it never happened... and even reverse time】
The Night Goddess Noel plucked the strings of her harp and smiled slightly: 【Falsehood and truth are the same for both those who have attained the Dao and the God Kings... If you want to create a world with hundreds of thousands of years of history, you don't need to really let that world spend hundreds of thousands of years, you only need to arrange hundreds of thousands of years of memories and traces, then what is the difference from really spending hundreds of thousands of years?】
【And in our Song of Creation macro-universe, as long as the poems can be chanted and the melody can continue, the specific changes are determined by us—the name of Zhuzhou will be cut off here, we will mobilize all our power to eliminate this word】
"Oh."
Zhuzhou didn't seem to care, he laughed and showed his fangs: "Really? I don't believe it."
Obviously, such words could greatly anger others, even the God Kings were no exception.
The Gemini God Kings of Light and Darkness took a few quick breaths before barely suppressing the desire to attack immediately.
But in the next moment, Zhuzhou's words stunned the two God Kings: "Even if it's true... But isn't it precisely you who uttered the word you want to erase?"
The divine dragon repeated: "Eliminate Alan, eliminate Zhuzhou, eliminate all living beings—eliminate Zhuzhou."
"Wanting to eliminate something is precisely proof that that thing exists in a real and true way."
Su Zhou stated word by word: "Thank you."
"I've won again this era."
Inside the universe, on the dome above the high heavens, the chaotic history began to change, began to be determined and rooted because of this one word.
And long ago, the history of Zhuzhou originating from the 'Overture Era' also began to spread and flow to this 'Resounding Era' because of the power of this one word!
【How is it possible, can history be fixed with just one word?!】
The Gemini God Kings simply couldn't believe it, they wanted to block this trend, but were blocked by the light cannon spewed by the divine dragon. The divine dragon, transforming himself into a chaotic long strip, fused endless chaotic energy within his body, and finally condensed it into a black substance flow almost returning to the void, and then sprayed it out without hesitation.
This 'Nirvana Dragon Breath' was literally nirvana—countless miniature quantum black stars rushed towards the Gemini God Kings like rivers. These small black holes, which would merge with each other at any time, instantly gathering and adding Zhuzhou's divine power, were attacks sufficient to harm those who had attained the Dao!
"One word?"
Just as the Gemini God Kings supported their giant shields and chanted ballads to block this dragon breath, the divine dragon solemnly shook his head: "How could it be just one word!"
"Zhuzhou is a thought, a belief, an action, a way—Zhuzhou is not just a race, a name!"
"That is a 'correctness' that all lives are expecting, calling for, and wanting to achieve!"
At this moment.
In the Song of Creation macro-universe.
Along with the battle and game between the Dao Attainment experts, on the edge of the Ilothal Continent, the phantom of another continent suddenly appeared.
On this continent, the towering mountains were ancient and solemn, the dense forests were tranquil and vast, and endless flowing clouds circled and gathered above the mountains and forests, transforming into a vast cloudscape.
Above it, there was fertile land, sturdy grass beasts, settlements on the edge of the riverbanks, vast cities and kingdoms, and soaring towers and temples.
Its name was Atlantis, also known as Penglai, and also known as Canaan, the land of milk and honey promised by God.
In ancient times, the prophet 'Yi' descended, parting the sea and opening the land amidst the siege of the gods' children and messengers, using the Ark of Salvation to carry all living beings and lead all the righteous people to leave the Ilothal Continent and arrive at Atlantis.
A long time passed, and the living beings, gods, and their demigod children on the Ilothal Continent forgot those who had once left the desert wilderness, and also forgot those who followed the children of Zhuzhou.
And now, the second prophet and the new Zhuzhou appeared on this continent that was good at forgetting.
There were grim legions and vast fleets gathered from thousands of sails, raising flags on the other side of the sea.
People's eyes were fiery, and their beliefs were firm.
They would use fire to innovate all things and create a new world.
——The history of the past and the present was beginning to intertwine here——
