A Colossus rushes in at the start

Chapter 229 The Son of the Demon God is Too Arrogant

It wasn't the Babel bees that attacked the demon's giant eye.

Given the unknown nature of this exploration, and taking a cautious approach, Lu Shang will have the bee swarm observe first, gather some intelligence, and then decide whether to take action.

The civilization that took action was a member of the Cosmic Union, called the Nephalem.

Its civilization is somewhat similar to the kind of unified consciousness that the Babel bees had seen in the vast universe.

However, unlike the individual civilizations in the mega-universe, the Nephalem civilization is "impulsive" and, like an ordinary life form, can act irrationally under the influence of emotions.

For example, the appearance of the demon god has hindered the progress of exploration, which has aroused great resentment from the Tucker Superintelligence, the Babel Swarm, and the civilizations of the Cosmic Union.

The fact that even a civilization as powerful as the Unity Civilization could be instantly dismantled led all three parties to conclude that this exploration posed a high threat to the civilization itself.

Therefore, all parties approached the exploration with caution and trepidation. Just when everyone was on edge, a psionic creature claiming to be a demon god jumped out, intending to cause great destruction. The attitudes of all parties were predictable.

Due to their impulsiveness, the Nephalem civilization didn't even conduct any investigation or analysis before directly using their force tentacles to pull out the eyeball of the demon god who had rashly disturbed the exploration of all parties.

This is the astonishing scene that many living beings on the continent of Lanvasa later witnessed.

The demon's eyeball, violently ripped out, was enormous, twice the size of the moon.

However, a strange scene occurred after the demon's eyeball was removed. The demon's eyeball did not seem to be able to exist stably in normal spacetime. Perhaps due to the different physical rules, the huge eyeball that was removed quickly decayed into a spherical ordinary star, no longer showing any trace of life.

The enormous creature at the other end of the wormhole realized its life was threatened. Like any ordinary life form, it knew to compromise for survival, using its immense psionic energy to resist the restrictive stance of the Nephalem civilization, and attempting to escape.

This action undoubtedly further enraged the Nephalem civilization.

So the Nephalem civilization intensified its efforts, and the mighty Demon God was dragged out of the wormhole like a rag doll by the super-strong force generated by the Nephalem civilization burning a galaxy. The Demon God had no power to resist.

In this situation, the Lan people and other intelligent races on the planet were completely terrified.

What is happening now is beyond their comprehension. The demon god, who could have destroyed the world, is being suppressed and restrained by an unseen but far more powerful force.

"W-what happened...?"

"The true god...it's the true god! The true god has appeared! The continent of Lanvasa is saved!"

Among the bewildered disciples of Farid, one of them suddenly had an idea and excitedly addressed the group.

However, such unfounded speculation cannot convince others that the power that fought against and easily suppressed the demon god came from the true god of the upper realm.

Therefore, some people asked: "Our lower realm has long since severed all ties with the upper realm. Why would the true gods of the upper realm suddenly descend?"

Although the speculation about the true god is the most likely, from the perspective of power, the power of the true god in the upper realm is greater than that of the demon god, and from the perspective of behavior, the true god in the upper realm will act to protect the beings in the lower realm.

The problem is that the lower realm has been separated from the upper realm for a very long time, so long that some people doubt whether the upper realm and the true gods within it still exist.

At this moment, the Youlan people remembered Mustang and his disciples who had been exploring the ancient temple.

"It must be Mustang! They must have done something at the Ancient Temple! The Ancient Temple is the ruins of the ancient gods; besides all sorts of terrifying monsters, it also contains many relics left behind by the ancient gods! Perhaps they found an ancient artifact that can reconnect them to the true gods of the upper realm!"

"Yes! That's very likely!"

Although there is no evidence, this is the most likely speculation at present, and Farid's disciples have tacitly accepted this as the truth.

If that's not the case, we can correct it later; the human brain isn't some rigid thing.

Compared to the excitement of his disciples like Farid, Ron, the treacherous disciple who betrayed his master, appeared extremely irritable.

"Impossible...impossible...this is impossible!"

"What true god! What utter nonsense! The demon god is invincible! The demon god is the supreme and invincible ruler of this world! This is impossible!..."

Completely unable to accept reality, Ron was shouting wildly. His semi-mad behavior gave Farid's disciples an opportunity.

Now, Ron, the son of the demon god, has suffered an unprecedented blow to his faith. In his mind, the "invincible and supreme" demon god is not even as good as a dog in front of the true god. At least a dog can bark a couple of times, but the demon god can't even scream when he is beaten.

"Hahaha! Invincible? What a joke! Before a true god, a mere demon god is nothing but a pathetic imposter!"

"Ron! Today you will die here with your ambition!"

"Let's all attack together!"

With that, Farred's disciples launched another fierce attack on Ron, the traitor, forcing him into a retreat that he could not withstand.

Their prediction was correct; due to the collapse of his faith, Ron's strength has been greatly reduced.

Ron struggled to parry the enemy's relentless attacks.

He glanced at the Great Father, who was bound and imprisoned in the sky, and then at the many disciples of Fared who were attacking him. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and prepared to gamble everything and use his last resort.

"roll!"

The brief burst of psionic energy temporarily blasted away all of Farred's disciples in the vicinity.

"I haven't lost! I haven't lost! I still have my last resort!" Ron shouted maniacally, seemingly having gone completely mad.

However, the earth-shaking tremors that followed the next moment indicated that he was not merely going mad, but was actually planning to do something.

Then, all of Farid's disciples were imprisoned by a force field barrier.

"Ron, what do you think you're doing?!"

Farred's disciples were utterly shocked and questioned him. This power could not possibly be that of a mortal. They couldn't understand what Ron had done.

Ron laughed smugly, "Hahaha! You guys think you're the only ones who know about exploring the Ancient Temple?"

"Do you know what's inside the core of the ancient temple? There's a vertical tunnel leading to the star core, and at the end of the tunnel is a control room!"

The leader of Farid's disciples suddenly changed his expression, as if he had thought of something: "Could it be...?"

Ron confirmed his guess: "That's right! The lower realm where our Lanvassa continent is located is an ancient artifact created by the ancient gods!"

"After discovering this secret, I left my clone there as a last resort, which I have kept until now! The life and death of all living beings on the entire continent of Lanvasa are in my hands!"

After saying that, Ron ignored the disciples of Fared who he had imprisoned. It wasn't that he was merciful and didn't want to kill them, but that he no longer had time. Apart from the ancient gods, anyone who used ancient artifacts had to pay a price.

Ron has at most ten minutes to control this ancient artifact of the lower realm; after that, he will vanish into nothingness.

That's why Ron needed to unleash the Demon God and use its power to sweep away everything in the world.

But who would have thought that a true god would descend from the upper realm, which had been disconnected in ancient times, completely disrupting all his plans.

Thinking of this, Ron gritted his teeth in anger and ordered the clone he had set up in the control room to take action.

Subsequently, an electromagnetic wave radiated outward from the planet's core. This electromagnetic wave was very short, consisting of only one sentence.

"I, Ron, son of the Demon God and a true god descended from the heavens, wish to negotiate with you!"

……

After controlling the so-called demon god, its physical structure was studied by three parties.

Because of the precedent of the decay of the initial eyeball material.

Forced to come from the other end of the wormhole, the demon god's form, which was larger than a planet, was protected by a certain field set up by Tucker's super-intelligence, preventing it from undergoing material decay.

However, during the subsequent investigation, the three parties did not find much useful information on the demon god.

It's just an ordinary psionic creature, except... it's a bit larger and has a slightly distorted appearance.

The demon had six eyes, one of which was removed and left him blind, leaving five. His body seemed to be made up of countless arms, one after another, densely packed together.

From afar, it looks like a clump of flesh-colored hair, but up close, it's a dense, endless array of arms. Each arm seems to be twisting, waving, struggling, and grabbing in pain, as if trying to break free from its own purgatory, or as if trying to drag others into its own purgatory.

The demon god is terrifying in appearance, one could even say it lowers your sanity, but that's only from the perspective of the planet's native inhabitants.

All three parties were well-informed and didn't react much to this appearance. The demon god's spiritual power was only level 37, which posed no threat at all.

After searching around, the only clue they found was the space-time in which the demon god resided.

That spacetime was a frozen cycle, and judging from the traces, it should have been created by the Unity Civilization as a container for imprisonment.

However, the timing doesn't match up, because the Demon God was sealed into the Frozen Cycle only after the ancient gods, that is, the One Civilization, perished. Obviously, this was not done by the One Civilization.

So the microscopic creatures of the swarm investigated various places on the planet where information was recorded, such as the human brain, ancient murals, and book scrolls.

It didn't take long to understand the cause and effect.

After the destruction of the Unity Civilization, the Upper Realm and the Lower Realm maintained contact for a period of time.

The upper realm is the world of true gods, while the lower realm is the world of mortals. Some exceptionally talented individuals in the lower realm, after cultivating their spiritual energy to a certain level, will enter the upper realm and attain godhood.

However, one day, something happened in the upper realm, and the passage connecting to the lower realm was closed. Before the passage closed, psionic creatures, whom the creatures of the lower realm called "demons," invaded the lower realm through the passage from the upper realm.
