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

At that moment, all the humans in the city collapsed to the ground, their souls trembling, as if facing a terrifying, unfathomable being.

But this is just the aftermath.

The white horse knight was stunned. As he stepped into Chiba, he felt an iron rod smashing towards him, sending him flying without warning.

The phantom images of the five supreme gods all turned their gazes toward this place.

clap clap clap!

Gently pat your palms.

The gods shifted their gaze once more and saw a majestic figure far away in Antarctica. An emperor had descended to earth, his eyes deep and profound, and he nodded slightly to the gods.

Survival itself is the most powerful resistance against absurdity: Chapter Sixteen: Five Outer Gods' Familiars [Content may be disordered; please refresh the page]

Deep space.

Dark and deathly silent.

A magnificent river flows across the cosmic curtain.

When Yotsuya Miko activates the spiritual treasure, not only Shinyo, but also Tendou Shinraku senses it.

Like a spearhead, he led numerous deities through this boundless starry sky. At this moment, he sensed that extremely subtle fluctuation. Although it was inconspicuous, as a Sequence 4 being, his realm as a near-god was infinitely close to the rules of the world. His mere existence could affect the entire world, not to mention that he was extremely familiar with that thing.

He looked back and saw that small universe was breaking away from its original dimension; that space was escaping, forming an unfathomable 'big hole' in its place.

In the dark depths of space where even light cannot penetrate, new spatial rules rapidly emerge, filling the original void.

That place was just too empty; the original stars and meteorites had all disappeared into another dimension.

With his dark eyes, he could see into space and perceive the true nature of Earth in another dimension.

Kagura Tendou saw those living souls leave their bodies and merge into the new world. They started as small pieces, then multiplied into fragments, began to merge, converged into rivers, and finally, like a vast ocean, turned the entire Earth into a furnace.

It's like a pot of boiling secret medicine.

The five supreme gods stood at the five corners of the furnace, as if they were refining the entire earth.

But Kagura Tendou knew that this was not a sacrifice.

The gods are merely anchoring themselves at the center of the new universe, using Earth to evolve new rules.

During this process, their divine bodies also underwent a mysterious change, becoming increasingly blurred and indistinct. The aura they exuded was very subtle, as if they were undergoing a metamorphosis or a sublimation.

Although the Earth underwent drastic changes during this period, the process was not long and was extremely short.

Only a few hours have passed since he left.

In that brief moment of observation, Tendou Kagura witnessed what had happened.

To protect Chiba, Yotsuya Miko activated a sliver of the treasure's power, forcing the Doomsday Knight back. This action alarmed the gods, who were stuck between Sequence 5 and Sequence 4, and realized that the power Chiba unleashed was even stronger than their own.

It was Xinyang who stopped them.

He traveled the world, witnessing its civilizations and history, like a passing traveler.

At this critical moment, even the gods dared not easily clash with the mysterious new sun.

Seeing that the situation on the other side had stabilized, Tendou Kagura turned back again and silently gazed at the end of the road ahead.

At this moment, a crack has appeared at the edge of the universe, and the tentacles of the Outer Gods are rushing out of the crack. They are rapidly transmitting power into this world, and then the rules are eroding it, occupying the interior of the world, and constantly expanding outward.

For sequence 4, or above.

The supreme deity of an ancient civilization might vaguely sense what kind of power this was, because they had already begun to explore this realm.

But for beings outside this level, it's like looking at flowers through a fog; they can only rely on imagination.

Each Outer God represents a mystical path, and these paths are difficult to categorize.

For example, the warrior system and the life type of the Tree of Life, or the spiritual type of the spiritual master and the psychic.

Although these are very similar in the early stages, they become increasingly different as they progress. Even if they are very similar in the early stages, it is normal for them to suddenly change and switch to other types in the later stages.

This depends on the nature of the Outer God's power.

For example, the silkworm, although it seems to be a crawling insect, this life nature is only a transition. Its final form is a butterfly that dances gracefully, which can also be said to be an alternative sublimation and metamorphosis.

Sequence 4 is the endpoint of all life evolution, the end of evolution, and the life form closest to the Outer God.

Sequence 4 abilities vary depending on the pathway. They may not be very destructive, and some Sequence 4s may even be unable to move or kill an ordinary person.

However, this extremely weak destructive power also represents extreme terror in other directions.

For example, Sequence 4, which cannot act independently, can control gravity, manipulate all things and stars, and form a gravitational net with itself at its core, making everything operate according to its will. In a sense, the ultimate gravitational net can affect the entire universe, and can be stretched and contracted as freely as five fingers.

However, the larger the network, the more computational work it requires, and the longer it takes.

Therefore, with this approach, the gravitational network can only be expanded to about half a star system at most. Due to various practical factors, it is difficult to expand it infinitely.

Some Sequence 4 entities are also extremely weak and lack offensive capabilities, but by learning various kinds of knowledge and understanding all things in the universe, they can deduce the past and present of the universe.

These capabilities all involve rules.

Sequence 4 doesn't necessarily have to be extremely destructive, because different pathways have different abilities. For example, a Spirit Master's Sequence 6 abandons the physical body, making it impossible to compete with him in terms of physical strength.

Without a doubt, Sequence 4 is the one who can control the rules.

Just as humans don't need to break stones with their bare hands, and an ordinary person can't even punch through a brick wall, they can move mountains and fill seas.

For a king of the fourth rank of spiritual master, making a planet disappear out of thin air is a very difficult thing. It's not that it's impossible, but it consumes a great deal of energy. Even the strongest spiritual master cannot extinguish the entire sky.

The Warrior system and the Shadow system are similar.

The former, having reached the pinnacle of life evolution, can destroy a star with a single punch, but cannot destroy a galaxy composed of billions of stars.

The latter can easily slice through the Earth, but that doesn't mean it can slice through the entire world.

The universe is boundless, so even if a few, a few thousand, a few million, or even a few hundred million stars were destroyed and exploded, it wouldn't be a big problem for the universe.

The only thing that can bring the world down is the erosion of the rules themselves.

All worlds are collections of rules, vast and intricate.

Its grandeur lies in its ability to encompass everything: the strong, the weak, the safe, the dangerous...

All matter is born within the world, and all life can be accepted by the world.

In this world, Sequence 4 ultimate life forms can coexist with those ephemeral planktonic organisms.

A saint with a pure and kind heart can live under the same sky as a heinous thug.

It will not show any favoritism or discrimination.

Its brilliance lies in the fact that the space it constructs is so self-consistent.

Time, space, matter, energy...

And then there is the greatest opportunity—life itself.

The world is a treasure trove radiating golden light, coveted by all.

There is no need for reason for Outer Gods to invade the world.

Because the essence of all Outer Gods is the mysterious rules that wander outside the world.

They have no emotions. Perhaps they did in the past; some of the people of the world may have retained some humanity in the moment they first became Outer Gods.

But in the chaos and nothingness, all humanity and emotion were instantly obliterated.

They became beings that humans could not comprehend.

Some Outer Gods may have inherited more than just the divine status and authority of the Outer Gods of the past.

They may have originally been people of the world, untouched by the invasion of the Outer Gods. But the people of the world were exceptionally talented and pioneered their own mysterious path, transcending their original world and becoming one of the Outer Gods.

They were once various life forms, possibly male, possibly female, and possibly not even human.

But they all had something in common: they were all seekers of the Way, embarking on this path in pursuit of the infinite Way, reaching the ultimate way, and seeking final transcendence.

All the extraordinary individuals who follow a particular path are imitations of the path's origin, stealing its power.

They succeeded.

They are no longer simply beings, but embodiments of rules.

Human emotions have nothing to do with them.

They are not viruses. If we have to say, the Outer Gods probably belong to the category of beings governed by rules.

Tendo Kagura didn't want to become that kind of being.

He is not a seeker of truth...

However, as the system host, he has a kind of God's perspective, just like leveling up and fighting monsters, especially after witnessing the end of civilization in the dark world and what he saw and heard in that world.

All civilizations will come to an end.

He began to search for the meaning of life.

He found the system.

He became a savior, much like a gamer creating a new account in a game and embarking on an adventure.

He has always been doing tasks simply to complete them.

……

The Heavenly Music has reached the depths of the starry sky.

Before them were the Outer God's Touches, which occupied the entire space, wriggling there as if gnawing, polluting, or like a giant, slimy slug, clinging to the space of this world, giving people an extremely uncomfortable mental illusion. There were five of them, each with different properties.

Needless to say, the current starry sky is extremely chaotic, and any divination spells or stargazing skills have become ineffective because of the five outer gods.

The Lord of Wasteland, the Lord of Destruction, the Lord of Source Energy, and two Outer Gods whose auras are similar to those of the Spirit Realm.

Their very existence turned the entire starry sky into a pot of porridge.

They finally cleared away the outer debris and took over this part of the starry sky.

They maintain a certain distance from each other, adhering to the principle of not disturbing each other. Otherwise, fighting now would be a losing proposition. Even if they killed the true form of another Outer God, unless the method was similar and had reference value, and could supplement their own rules, it would not be of much benefit to them.

Especially now that the feast is right in front of us, and the world hasn't fallen into depravity yet, there's no need to clear the room.

Once inside the world, the rules were suppressed to the limit, and all the power of the Outer Gods fell to the Sequence 4 level, which was the limit that could be contained.
