Chapter 305: Supreme Gods
His attack was blocked, but the Shadow finally discovered the reason for the sudden increase in speed.
’The Heavenly Abode can allow him to use the power of space to teleport. Even that crystal that blocked my attack was a Space Wall.’
The Shadow continued to use his insane reaction time to dodge all the attacks. Meanwhile, he was observing all the abilities of this God. As an elite of the Fate Shadow Guard, he was personally trained by Wang Wei himself to not only be a powerful intelligence gatherer, but also an assassin and warrior.
He was trained to be able to react in many different situations. So, to the Shadow, this Void God was incredibly weak because of how little fighting experience it had.
Nevertheless, the opponent’s ability to control space gave him an advantage. The Shadow pondered whether to use a Void Blocking Talisman to prevent his opponent from teleporting.
However, after thinking about the fact that someone else was watching this battle, he decided otherwise; he wanted to gather information from his opponent, not give them information about himself.
A few minutes passed since the battle, and the armored man realized that he had not accomplished anything; he did not even wound his opponent once. This fact made him more furious, so he decided to be even more ferocious.
Unfortunately for him, the Shadow had already gathered enough information about his opponent and decided that it was time to end this farce.
He waved his hand, then countless shadows came from the ground and encased the armored man. In just a few seconds, he turned into a massive black ball with strange characters or runes written on top. A thumping sound could be heard from inside as the armored man tried to break free from his restraint.
Unfortunately, even his Heavenly Abode seemed to be isolated from him, so he was powerless. Under the Shadow’s control, the black ball started to shrink as he prepared to seal and capture him.
Midway through, he felt something and raised his head to look at the sky. He saw a giant red hand burning with flame descending on him. The Shadow’s heart palpitated as he saw that hand.
’The power of Law?’ he thought with shock. ’The Supreme Gods can use law?’ The Shadow could feel the Law of Fire on that gigantic hand. From the information he gathered, this world was only a Middle Thousand World, as such, only cultivators in the Primordial Spirit Realm should be possible.
Even though this world has a different cultivation system, it did not change the fact that only Greater Thousand Worlds could give birth to individuals that can control the law.
As the hand rapidly approached, the Shadow gave up on capturing the armored man. He took out a Teleportation Talisman and activated it. Unfortunately, the space around seemed to block by that hand.
Having no choice, he quickly took a jade talisman from his space ring. This time, he took out a Breaking Void Talisman. A white light enveloped the Shadow and he disappeared from his location.
The red hand that was descending suddenly stopped after noticing this. Then, a tyrannical Divise Sense began to search the location he was along with the surrounding few thousand kilometers. After not finding anything, the Divine Sense expanded its search.
Above the sky, in one of the stars, a man dressed in red slowly opened his eyes. He had a red goatee and his hair was replaced by flame.
"I could not find the outside after searching the entire Fire Realm," muttered the Fire God. After that, his consciousness traveled to a far distance.
Close to the Crystal Wall was a temple floating in the space. The temple was golden and a noble breath exuded from it. At the entrance of the temple were 36 statues of both women and men.
Of course, some of these statues looked nothing like humans, while some had their faces blurred.
Inside the temple was a circular table with exactly 36 seats, and each seat had a character written behind them.
Suddenly, an illusory figure appeared on the seat with the character "Fire" written; it was the Fire God. As soon as he appeared, a strange wave came from him, then another person appeared to take a seat.
"Fire God, why are you calling for a Supreme God Conference? Is there anything worth assembling all of us for?"
"It’s not me who wanted to call the Conference. The Destiny Goddess told me to do so."
"Do you know what it is about?" asked the Thunder God.
"It should be regarding the Outsiders."
The Thunder God frowned, but he did not ask anything else. If it was anyone else, some of these Gods might not come. However, since the Destiny Goddess called the meeting, everyone would give her face.
A few hours later, all 36 Supreme Gods showed up with the Destiny Goddess the last one. As soon as he appeared, her peaceful and ethereal temperament attracted everyone; everyone was waiting for her explanation.
"I’m sure all of you are already aware of the Outsiders that suddenly appeared in the Fire God’s territory," said the Destiny Goddess.
"So?" asked the God of Death with a little irritable tone in his voice. As the most powerful God in this Pantheon, he is quite confident of himself.
"From what I remember, only a few of them came; they should not be a threat to us."
"Not necessarily; what about the world behind them?" asked another Supreme God.
"As long as the crystal wall is still there, we do not have anything to worry about," retorted the Death God.
"Alright, let’s listen to what Mingyun has to say," said the Life Goddess. So, everyone looked at the Destiny Goddess. She paused for a moment, then said: "I’m afraid that the Dusk of the Gods is finally upon us."
Everyone looked at her with shocked faces.
Ragnarok. Dusk of the Gods. End of Age of God. No matter what name was used, it only meant one thing: all the gods will fall, ending their era of ruling over this world.
"Destiny Goddess, although we respect you, this does not mean that you can say whatever you want without any consequences," said the Destruction God whose power was only second to the Death God.
Many people had a similar sentiment to him. However, few people dare to voice their opinion.
"As soon as these outsiders came into our world, I felt something was wrong so I contacted Mother God," said the Destiny Goddess calmly.
Immediately after hearing the word "Mother God", all of them started paying attention.
"With her power, I managed to divine the future of this world. And this is what I saw."
She waves her hand in the air to show a scene: Stars kept falling from the sky until there was none left. Golden blood bathed the earth until it formed a river.
The faces of the Gods became ugly as they watched this scene. They knew that the stars represented their Heavenly Abode, and the golden blood was their blood.
"How is that possible?" said the Life Goddess. "We have experienced invasions from outsiders before, so why is it different this time?"
However, no one could answer her. Many people panicked a little, and after seeing this, the Death God said: "There is no need to panic. Fate or Destiny is not set in stone. We can still change the future."
"What should we do then?" asked another God.
"We need to analyze the situation and come up with a proper solution," said the Death God. "If anyone has any suggestions, say now."
However, no one said anything. Although the Death God calmed some of them down, they were still worried.
As the Destiny Goddess watched the reaction of these people, she was slightly disappointed. This is one of the weaknesses of the Gods. After being protected for so long by the Crystal Wall, they have lost the ability to react during a crisis.
Many of them probably never actually understood the meaning of the crisis. As for the more level-headed and clever ones, they might have their own selfish motive.
In the corner of her eyes, the Destiny Goddess looked at the War Goddess; she could not feel any dread from her, just the desire for war and conquest.
"I have a suggestion. I propose we bring the Wisdom God to analyze the situation and gather information," said the Destiny Goddess.
"The little Title God in your pantheon?" said the Death God. "His divinity is perfectly suited for this situation. I think that’s a good idea, what about everyone else?"
"We agree."
Many people also agreed with this course of action, so the Destiny Goddess called the Wisdom God.
