The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

What happened next was simple and clear, just as Gu Xu had seen before.

After countless deducing of a doomed future, the former ruler finally realized that conventional restarts could not break this deadlock.

Therefore, it gave up maintaining its own integrity.

Differentiate power.

With the complete collapse of the ruler, the twenty-two powers fell like meteors into the chaos deep within the disordered universe and were buried deep inside.

And this is the true origin of those twenty-two ancient false gods.

At this moment, in Gu Xu's mind, these twenty-two names were like tolling bells, each carrying a deafening echo.

It appeared before his eyes.

……

Clearly, the intentions of the Old Ones are quite clear.

Since destiny cannot defy external gods, then let authority be scattered, each evolving and growing in the cycle of the universe.

Through the power of [Recreation], we will search for the true opportunity to break free from fate and resist the Outer Gods over the long course of time.

That opportunity arose from among the billions of living beings in the universe—the [Old Flame].

However, although the ruler foresaw the existence of the opportunity, he underestimated the greed and selfishness of the false gods born from his authority.

These twenty-two beings, who differentiated from the original entity, were born with a portion of the qualities of a ruler.

Because they come from the same source, they know each other better than any other life form.

An obsession called "the desire for completeness" became their sole pursuit.

Since I am just a fragment, why can't I devour my other brothers and sisters, piece together the complete old authority, and become the supreme and unique new ruler?

As for the task of resisting the Outer God Yuriza?

It doesn't matter at all to these false gods who have been distorted by their lust for power.

Thus, enveloped in the black mist of the Dark Star System, Gu Xu's consciousness was once again drawn to a memory of Zogra.

That was a period of time that, even though it has been a very long time since then, still fills Zogra with lingering fear and madness.

In that era that has long been erased by history.

In this universe, a truly exceptionally talented [Spark of the Past] has emerged.

That spark fought its way through thorns and brambles, emerging from the lowest planes, sweeping across the galaxy, and finally breaking through the dimensional barriers to successfully retrieve the [Old Twilight Court] that floated outside the ordered universe.

If the Lord's last wish is fulfilled, the spark can inherit the true legacy of the past simply by opening the courtyard gate.

It became the key to breaking the deadlock.

Unfortunately, he was unable to go inside.

Because waiting for him in front of that gate were twenty-two false gods who had already laid an ambush!

They would never allow a lowly spark to steal the supreme throne that they considered theirs for the taking.

That was a true Ragnarok.

The starry sky trembled, dimensions collapsed, and countless galaxies were crushed into dust in that chaotic battle.

That previous generation's "Spark of the Past" displayed terrifying combat power capable of instilling despair in the universe.

He single-handedly confronted twenty-two false gods who possessed partial control over the rules.

The brutality of that war left even Gu Xu, an observer, feeling suffocated.

【Finger Worm Sammi】 was torn from its body, its life force cut off.

The heart of [Heart of Silence - Lord] was crushed by the flame, and his concept was erased along with it.

【Winged Demise - Hiraz】The decaying wings that blotted out the sky were completely burned away, and the godhood collapsed.

[Brain Desecration - Yggdrasil] was stripped of its spiritual source and vanished.

All four ancient false gods, who were once high and mighty, perished completely in that battle!

Gu Xu's "old" rival, the one who attempted to descend upon the Starfall Divine Realm and devour him, [Devouring Void Zogra], was also shattered by the previous generation of fire seed in that battle.

Even the authority representing dimensions was forcibly shattered into pieces and fell from its pedestal.

The remaining false gods were also severely injured and had to retreat into the dark corners of the universe, falling into a long slumber to prolong their lives.

Unfortunately.

Despite his glorious achievements, that former spark of the revolution was ultimately just a man.

Faced with the endless drain on the twenty-two ancient powers, after killing four false gods and severely injuring the rest of the gods, he also exhausted his last strength.

It was completely annihilated just half a step away from the gates of the Twilight Court.

There were no winners in that Ragnarok.

But it served as a deafening wake-up call to all the remaining false gods.

They finally realized how terrifying the backup plan left by the Sovereign was.

In every era, as long as the universe continues to operate, new "old flames" will inevitably emerge.

However, if we were to launch another direct, open attack like that time...

Even if they could win, the cost would be unbearable for them.

The struggle for the fire must never be so brutal again.

So, over the long years, these sleeping false gods changed their tactics.

They no longer reveal themselves, but instead use the remaining power in their hands to quietly lay one hidden and deadly trap after another in every corner of the universe and in countless dimensions.

They cast out bait, sow the seeds of power, disguise themselves as various adventures or disasters, and gather their followers, like spiders hiding in the shadows, patiently weaving a giant web, just to wait for the "Old Flame" of the next era to walk into their trap.

In order to strip away and devour the pure, ancient aura from him, thereby replenishing his own authority.

……

However, even those false gods who have clearly fallen are not truly "fallen".

After all, they are not made of ordinary flesh and blood, but of the authority of the ancient lords.

The body can be destroyed, but the concept can never be killed.

Although the four fallen false gods eventually collapsed and died outside the ordered universe, their corpses, radiating endless calamities and distorted rules, will not truly disappear.

These remnants of power emanating from the corpses of false gods are like deadly poison seeping into parched soil.

It is continuously penetrating inward along the edge of the ordered universe.

In other words, the vast and orderly universe is not an impenetrable fortress.

The radiation from these divine remains is subtly and continuously influencing the billions of living beings within the crystal wall system.

Some creatures touched the ashes falling from the Winged Decay in the wilderness, and rotting wings instantly tore off their backs, granting them the ability to travel through the universe.

Some of these strange beasts swallowed bits of flesh and dust from the [Finger Worm] while feeding, causing their bodies to grow wildly in a very short time. Eventually, they transformed into colossal cosmic beasts capable of devouring stars, becoming a catastrophic omen that some divine civilizations feared.

These beings, whether they were originally humble ants struggling at the bottom of the mire or powerful beings high above and revered by others, after being tainted by the aura of false gods and gaining some of their authority and power,

Their lives have undergone tremendous changes; they are no longer professionals who simply rely on experience to level up.

Instead, they became mobile vessels, just like Gu Xu, burdened with the karma of the past.

Unconsciously, it became another "spark of the past".
