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

The Outer Gods followed closely behind, all of them performing spatial jumps.

The spiritual power of the Heavenly Dao is poised to be unleashed, the blood of the spirit is boiling, and the dimensional eye is operating at its peak.

But another ripple came from the Earth dimension. Including Tiandao Shenle, they all saw the five increasingly blurry phantoms, which now seemed to have melted into a mass of water, and then formed a cocoon-like shape. Through those blurry cocoon layers, they could see the life inside undergoing a metamorphosis.

The five divine beings were at a crucial moment, about to undergo their final ascension and make their final leap.

All the outer gods immediately disregarded the Heavenly Dao and began rushing towards the Earth dimension.

The people of the world hold a very special position.

On the one hand, they are life forms nurtured by the laws of the world, possessing infinite possibilities, but the world itself does not value life; for example, meteorites, earthquakes, volcanoes, and tsunamis show no mercy.

On the other hand, the special status of the people of the world becomes apparent when the world is invaded.

For example, when the fog of chaos permeates the entire world, only by killing all the people of the world can the world's true nature be revealed.

Or, when the people of the world face the crisis of extinction amidst the world's encroachment, many incomprehensible things will happen—some people will rapidly ascend to higher levels, some will be able to hear information from outside the world, or the entire civilization will undergo a mutation.

According to the Outer Gods, this phenomenon can be roughly understood as a backlash against civilization.

The world itself contains infinite mysteries, and even Outer Gods at the level of Great Lords cannot comprehend it.

For example, outside the world, there is no concept of personhood; only the inhabitants of the world have their own personhood, and all life forms, whether animals or plants, possess it.

When a life dies, its essence sinks to the bottom of the world, forming a river.

Generally speaking, the longer the accumulation time, the richer the sedimentation sites inside the river, and the more benefits the external gods will receive.

Position refers to the location of all life, like a pyramid, from bottom to top, with only a few reaching the top.

In the void beyond the world, there is no place. All life outside the world can only find its place within the world, and once it leaves the world, this place will disappear again.

Only by becoming Sequence 3 can one's divine status be permanently secured, allowing one to permanently anchor one's position and never lose it again.

Position is the precursor to divinity. For a Sequence 4 being to become a Sequence 3 being, it needs to upgrade its own position.

Unless one occupies a divine position beforehand, one can only be promoted at the level of the World's Desolation.

The phenomenon of civilization's backlash is likely due to the world itself at work.

Therefore, the conventional approach is to minimize the possibility of a backlash against civilization.

While eroding the world, they also send their families to it, trying their best not to burden the people of the world and thus provoking a backlash from civilization.

However, every world is different, with different ideas, cultures, and even different types of people, so it is impossible to simply copy experiences.

But there is no doubt that the Outer Gods will not stand idly by and watch the birth of Sequence 4.

They traversed space and came directly to the Earth dimension.

Under the gaze of these outward gods, and permeated by their breath, this dimension is like a small boat sailing away from an island, braving a raging storm.

Compared to the main universe, this dimension is pitifully small.

But this small boat carries all the people of the world.

……

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse had long since ceased their killing; they had enough souls, forming the foundation of Heaven in a seven-to-three ratio.

The moment the rules were established, all the dark clouds dispersed, and a seven-colored rainbow appeared everywhere, as if to say that a new era full of dawn was about to begin for humankind.

But whether the survivors are filled with sorrow or despair, and how they face the future is none of the gods' concern.

Because the gods don't need to tell humanity what they want to do.

The Human Union can be preserved because it is backed by psychics who belong to humanity.

But ordinary people were not so lucky. Only the inhabitants of two human settlements survived relatively intact: one was civilization, and the other was city.

Ise Grand Shrine.

The scenery remains the same.

This is Amaterasu's dwelling place. The Doomsday Knight deliberately ignored this ancient shrine that has existed for thousands of years. The priests worshipped Amaterasu even more, because they were spared from disaster because of the god.

Not only here, but other sacred sites were also pardoned.

“That city holds a power that surpasses even the gods.” Amaterasu stood with the Valley Goddess, gazing in Chiba’s direction, a faint smile on her face.

On this island, it seems that a transcendent power comparable to the Ise Grand Shrine is about to be born.

That person named Yotsuya Miko is not to be underestimated.

"This is right beside your bed." The goddess of grain, dressed in palace attire, was beautiful, graceful, and dignified, as if she had stepped out of a painting.

“There’s no need for hostility. We have no conflict. If she likes it, we can just give her the island. We’ll look for somewhere else. The New World is quite vast now. I think the land across the ocean is quite nice. Quetzalcoatl seems to be asleep. She’s a very promising person; perhaps she can…”

Amaterasu stopped speaking abruptly at this point.

She suddenly looked up, and Ceres also looked up, gazing beyond the world.

The other gods also noticed it.

At this moment, the gods, who had remained calm and composed, couldn't help but show a subtle fear in their eyes.

"No, it shouldn't have come so quickly!"

Survival itself is the most powerful resistance against absurdity: Chapter Nineteen: Unwillingness

The world is fair.

This has nothing to do with factors such as birth, talent, or environment.

It refers to a kind of potential fairness, whereby every life, in doing anything, whether it acknowledges it or not, must accept that it will encounter a similar world.

At that moment, the gods felt a fear and chill that seemed to emanate from their very bones and between their teeth, instantly sweeping over their entire bodies.

A life form of such high rank can exert a strong influence on other life forms simply by existing, radiating outwards to the surrounding environment.

If it also possesses polluting properties, it will cause those extraordinary qualities to overflow, affecting the physical and mental distortions of other life forms.

Conversely, ordinary beings, due to their weak spirituality, lose their ability to sense danger when external gods approach.

Therefore, they will naturally transform into another type of life form without being subconsciously influenced, and this change can extend to any place that humans can reach.

In this dimension, those five god-kings are already the most powerful beings.

Their phantoms pierce through heaven and earth, and endure forever.

But the gods noticed that gaze came from beyond the dimension. The gods were like food in a bucket, with many hands gripping the wooden rim and casting their gazes down.

A killer doesn't need to care about the thoughts of the victim.

In other words, it means destroying you, and that's none of your business.

It was a naked, cold malice.

The five supreme gods also noticed it, but they were at a critical stage of transformation.

Although the gods' paths of progress differ due to variations in the course and evolution of civilization, they all reach the same destination: Sequence 4.

According to calculations, the divine pathway should be in a perpetual state in sequence 4. When it gathers, it takes shape; when it disperses, it becomes gas, thus becoming part of the universe. Therefore, according to the understanding of various civilizations, it can also be called the Great Dao, the Law, Ether, etc.

The universe is immortal, and so is itself immortal, thus becoming the pillar of the universe.

But that is the power after it has been sublimated.

In an instant, because the minds of the five divine lords wavered, the entire earth—the unpredictable winds, the ever-changing clouds, the ever-flowing streams, the surging tides, and the rustling leaves—fell into an eerie silence.

It was as if the entire Earth had frozen in time.

It was obvious that the Shadows of the Past's target was these five soon-to-be-ascended gods; their malice was so blatant that they alarmed the Outer Gods.

What should I do?

Should I choose to terminate my ascension and engage in battle with the Shadows of the Past?

Or should we choose to pray that they will forgive us?

Or is it that we place our hopes on something vague and unrealistic?

There is no time for thought, because the Outer Gods' purpose is simple and pure. They have no nonsense to say, just like a fruit farmer doesn't need to talk to or communicate with the fruit before picking it.

After all, their environment and the world were completely different.

Outer Gods are free from emotions such as hesitation and doubt.

In that instant, the cocoons of the five supreme gods trembled, and they all chose to break free of their cocoons.

boom!

But an even more dazzling arrow, arriving before them, blocked the outer gods' path, quickly forming a barrier of rules.

Tendou Kagura arrived. The tips of his five fingers on his right hand transformed into chain-like structures.

Five pure white chains seemed to extend from beyond the heavens, directly binding and attacking the outer god, attempting to trap him within the original universe.

However, the Outer Gods all managed to evade it, and the Lord of Destruction even destroyed the pure white chains with his destructive power. This was because the pure white chains were entirely materialized from spiritual will and contained spiritual fire. Even the Outer Gods could not withstand the consequences of burning their spirits, as it would cause their Outer God power within the world to dissipate.

Kagura's little finger instantly shattered, but his heart remained as hard as ice and as solid as rock, showing no expression whatsoever.

"come over!"

A shout resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, echoing across the universe. Spiritual power covered the present world, aiming to change the trajectory of the Outer God.

However, as a Sequence 4, its status is equal to the world's rules, so who can change the thoughts and behaviors of someone at this level?

While a spiritual master can alter the cosmological constant to a small extent, making all rules act according to their wishes, a king, though eloquent and able to achieve his desires, cannot permanently change the operation of the rules.

Therefore, the Outer God disregarded the king's authority and chose to directly charge, breaking through the barrier of rules.

At that very moment, a burning human figure entered the Earth dimension, looked at the Outer Gods, let out a heavy and long sigh, stood at the edge of the dimension, and firmly and silently presented its right hand in refusal to the Outer Gods.

As a king, a single word or action can produce corresponding changes.

A pure crystal manifested, starting from that palm. The sheet-like crystals linked together to form a scale-like defense, instantly creating a scene like a sky curtain. This was substantial spiritual power, covering the sky and the sun, vast and boundless.

A spiritual barrier that can resist all invading forces.

The Outer God did not hesitate at all.

A roar-like fluctuation emanated from the black hole space where the Lord of Destruction resided. In an instant, dimensions collapsed, and the dark, swirling destructive power, like a beam of light fired from a planet-destroying cannon in a science fiction work, pierced through space.

The Lord of Source Energy seemed to be creating the world, with dense source energy surging like a chaotic scene, and then a burst of source energy power also erupted.
