As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

All the psychics around the world witnessed this scene. They were first shocked, then angry, then silent, and finally looked at the bottomless pit of the Ascension Ground, which devoured all the evil spirits lined up.

"So cruel!"

With the disappearance of these evil spirits, the stars, following the laws of the universe and under an inexplicable pull, moved as quickly as possible to the correct positions—normally the star map trajectory forty-two years later.

This is like getting on the train first and buying the ticket later.

This approach is inherently against the will of Heaven, and this is clearly a price to pay. The hole must be filled, otherwise it will be difficult to land safely.

Under normal circumstances, the gods would naturally be able to pay such a price and withstand the pressure by acting collectively. However, the gods ultimately chose to do this, using evil spirits to offset the consequences.

Even the most powerful beings were shaken.

What could possibly have driven the gods to do something so reckless and without regard for the consequences?

Besides these, there were other unusual phenomena.

Various miracles have occurred in many hidden traditions, mysterious forces, and religious holy sites. Many massive pillars of light, as thick as mountains, which are invisible to ordinary people, have connected with the spirit world and formed close relationships, no longer as distant and difficult to communicate with as before.

This heralded the arrival of the Age of Gods.

In the outer space, even Tendou Kagura sensed this fluctuation.

Because this was a massive project that changed the entire world, forcibly pushing the world's trajectory forward by forty-two years, leaping over a non-existent period of time, and the subtle changes involved could drive astronomers crazy.

If the spirit realm weren't inherently a mysterious place, and weren't formed by the combined power of all the gods, all that would be needed is a force of rules to guide the correct time, allowing the world to operate spontaneously, and simply reaching that position would suffice.

Otherwise, even a near-god level 4 would find it very difficult and extremely troublesome.

But what stunned Tendou Kagura was that, because the spirit world and the mortal world were intertwined.

He finally sensed that those ordinary evil spirits... were spirits that had accumulated from the past and had never dissipated.

How many would that be?

It's hard to count because the distance is too great to perceive, and there's no precise number—tens of millions, or hundreds of millions?

According to the rules of the spirit world, a spirit's existence depends on the strength of its consciousness. A strong consciousness allows a spirit to live longer, its instincts to become stronger, and it to awaken into a deity. A spirit with a weak consciousness will dissipate within a short time after death, perhaps ten or twenty years. When these irrational spirits can no longer maintain their consciousness, they will dissipate in an instant.

Evil spirits with strong consciousness tend to survive longer and are guided to the realm of ascension because the spirit world is more suitable for powerful spirits.

But now, due to the repeated upheavals in the spirit world, in addition to those few groups of gods, those evil spirits who have not yet awakened to become gods have also returned.

Even though spirits with strong consciousness are extremely rare, their numbers accumulated deep within the spirit world are ridiculously high.

That is the gods' reserve force.

Now all the evil spirits that have not yet awakened are at the call of the gods.

Those places of ascension, with their overwhelming force, devoured all the evil spirits.

Whether you have a longing for the human world or an attachment to the mortal realm.

Those lingering consciousnesses, the spirits that lingered around familiar people after death because of love, family, and friendship, all became illusions, bursting away with a snap.

Hell is now empty...

Tendou Kagura gripped the meteor tightly.

He didn't turn around or look back, just silently confronting the outer god, like a cold sculpture, his stern face devoid of joy or sorrow.

The Outer Gods also noticed this change. The Spirit Realm was originally theirs for the taking, and they planned to use it to extend their reach into the mortal world. This was much easier than painstakingly eroding the mortal world, as it was like wearing a disguise.

With the return of the spirit world, how could they possibly stand idly by? They would definitely intervene, just as the Heavenly Dao Kagura interrupted them. Forcibly interrupting this process would at the very least damage the world's rules and create unnecessary flaws.

The power of those outer gods appeared and disappeared, seemingly exchanging secret power with each other. The fluctuations of that power were extremely ancient, and Tiandao Shenle noticed them and immediately shot an arrow to stop them.

But a divine power suddenly surged up, its might rapidly approaching the world's limit, like the legendary deity who smashed Mount Buzhou. Unfortunately, it was hit by an arrow, and most of its power dissipated midway, but a small portion of its power plunged into the world and then self-destructed.

May all gods arrive swiftly to aid me; if I fail to comply, may I be imprisoned in Fengdu: Chapter Thirty-Seven: Mother-in-law, where are you going?

Its remaining power was still boundless, surpassing even the gods, inspiring no resistance. After the explosion, the entire world seemed to shake.

"The trajectory of the spirit world's transfer has deviated..." A deity was filled with fear and dread. The power just now was too terrifying, carrying an inexplicable force of rules that interfered with the positions of the stars in the spirit world, preventing them from aligning with the mortal world.

Moreover, the overflowing power of the Outer God made the demons even more terrifying, as if they had taken a berserk drug.

"Force it back!"

Without hesitation, the supreme gods joined forces to control the transfer of power. It was not easy for them either, as they exerted all their strength to draw upon the stars of the spirit realm. However, surrounded by demons, they needed the gods to defend against them, otherwise those gods would be unable to move due to the interference.

But changing course also comes at a price, because it goes against the rules of the universe. It's like a train that has gone off track but is still on the same track. Who can lift the train and forcibly change its course?

God sat in the temple, shrouded in a hazy glow, with a divine halo radiating from behind him.

He opened his eyes at that moment, and was a humanoid god with extremely terrifying eyes, showing scenes of stars falling and the moon being destroyed, and the stars changing.

"Adjust the celestial phenomena until dusk!" he said indifferently.

Dusk is a very special time in the modern world, and it is considered a very special moment in myths and legends from various places.

The other gods were all moved, but the supreme gods all looked deeply at God and understood his thoughts.

Because that's what they think too.

This can be considered a different kind of patching up of the sky.

Influencing the present world and adjusting celestial phenomena is extremely simple for the gods; any one of them can change the timing of the heavens.

In an instant, the entire Earth was plunged into an inexplicable state. The sun disappeared, the sky was neither dark nor light, and the boundary between day and night was extremely dim. All places were caught in this mysterious moment, as if it were the prelude to some kind of mysterious ritual.

"I will punish all living beings for their sins!"

God spoke again, and this mysterious word spread throughout the earth.

But now, there are no evil spirits in the world...

Those weaker deities who returned early haven't yet elevated their true spirits, and after reincarnation they will never be able to awaken again, so they definitely won't cooperate.

Because who would willingly be used as a consumable or a price to correct the trajectory of the spirit world?

……

Earth.

Yuzuru Nishimiya stood on his balcony, gazing up at the sky...

She fell silent.

Witnessing the original darkness turn into dusk is like time flowing backward, experiencing the moment of twilight once again.

If nothing unexpected happens, the entire Earth will be in this situation.

I wonder how many people will be horrified...

But I'll probably get used to it, since I've gotten through so many days already.

The gods have truly come to this world.

Yuzuru Nishimiya recalled that a few days ago, she went to Chiba Shrine to pray for blessings, thinking that she could try it if it was free. She saw with her own eyes a hundred-armed god and a statue merged into one. He sat cross-legged on the altar, receiving the faith and offerings of the people.

If I remember correctly, the deity being worshipped is called Hokushin Myōken-zō, and the name seems to come from Buddhism; it refers to a certain bodhisattva.

However, the prototype seems to be inextricably linked to the Shinto sect's Amenominaka.

Based on the belief that sincerity brings results, she had done her research before coming. Considering how devout she was, she thought she should hurry up and grant her wish first.

Unfortunately, the deity didn't seem to care about her prayers.

And Nishimiya Yuzuru didn't dare reveal what she could see.

She ignored the long, white, noodle-like arms floating around her, letting them pass right through her.

Throughout the entire process, she remained extremely calm.

She only felt a little relieved after she got home.

Now, in her field of vision, countless beams of light emanate from all directions before her, disappearing into the universe.

In the sky, there were numerous blurry, enormous phantoms, like giants standing tall between heaven and earth.

Throughout this process, Yuzuru Nishimiya's brows remained slightly furrowed.

She is now absolutely certain that she did not see it wrong.

Several days ago, she discovered that she could see things she wouldn't normally be able to see.

Although it's blurry during the day, it becomes extremely clear at night.

Although the time has been adjusted to dusk, she can still see some of the sights.

The magnificent voice of "punishing the sins of all living beings" echoed in my ears once again, like a divine judgment upon sinners.

Yuzuru Nishimiya pursed her lips. Although she didn't know what had happened, she didn't think she was guilty. Even if the owner of this voice was suspected to be God, he had no right to condemn all living beings.

However, this doesn't apply if we're talking about ghostly things.

Yuzuru Nishimiya witnessed the evil spirits quickly disappear from the street and head towards a pillar of light.

She had been looking at it for quite a while, but she didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, she felt more and more energetic as she looked at it. She put her arm on the edge of the balcony and stared intently at the distant sky.

These mysterious worlds seem quite interesting, and I feel like I've awakened something extraordinary within myself, but I don't know why...

Suddenly, Nishimiya Yuzuru paused slightly, a look of confusion on her face, and tilted her head to look at a room behind her.

As if sensing something instinctively, the girl walked barefoot over and opened the door.

This is Grandma's room. The two often sleep together. Yuzuru Nishimiya loves her grandma very much and regards her as an extremely important person in her life. This is because her grandma is always there for her when she is helpless and confused, patiently comforting and teaching her. She is also the only person who will not force her to go to school because she hates studying.

They have a very good relationship.

Now, Yuzuru Nishimiya has the ability to see in the dark, and nothing can hide from him in the dark.

Yuzuru Nishimiya saw his elderly mother-in-law lying quietly in bed.

She was covered with a blanket, her expression kind and gentle.

"Grandma?" Yuzuru stood outside the door and called softly. The voice wasn't loud, but Grandma was a light sleeper, so he should be able to wake her up.

But her grandmother slept very soundly and peacefully today.

"Grandma, I won't stay up late tonight, I want to sleep with you..." Yuzuru's teeth were chattering a little as she hurried over, her steps unsteady, like someone who had fallen to the bottom of a valley.

"Please don't let anything happen to you."

She reached out her trembling hand and touched her grandmother's gradually cooling skin. Her neat white hair and deeply lined face had a peaceful expression, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't wake her up.
