The magic cards I made are absolutely flawless!

"Based on the results of my interrogation of other Chaos Gods, as well as the ruins in the Chaos God Realm, I have roughly figured out the ins and outs of many things."

Dekan temporarily lifted the [Silence] spell placed on the Word Spirit God and said to him.

As long as Talomati maintains his suppression of the Word God and keeps him in his mask, he poses no threat whatsoever.

The Word Spirit God simply stared blankly at Dekan, without replying.

Dekan nodded; he was very satisfied with the state of the Word Spirit God.

An enemy whose mind has been destroyed has not even a trace of stubbornness left.

He silently took out a syringe, a truth serum made by Mier, and injected it into the neck of the Word Spirit God.

Talomat also knows some techniques he learned from the Sincere Pusel ten thousand years ago: using magical fluctuations to detect whether an enemy is lying.

While neither of these methods is necessarily accurate, neither can achieve the 100% accurate judgment of the Abyss Mage Pusel or the Imperial General Pritzker.

But he didn't need to interrogate the Word Spirit God afterward, and he didn't even need to ask the Word Spirit God much.

It was merely to verify the information I possessed with him.

"You Chaos Gods are actually quite pathetic, because you are not true gods, but merely products of error."

Dekan stood beside the Word Spirit God and spoke to himself.

However, this sentence no longer stirred any emotion in Apertos, the god of words.

It's no surprise that Dekan would find out this secret.

After all, seeing the miserable state of the rows of Chaos Gods in the life support pods, Apertos could imagine how much this human had extracted.

"Although gods did exist countless millions of years ago, you are not those gods. The only true god remaining today is the goddess Tike."

Dekan sighed.

Unfortunately, the goddess Tike no longer has the power to interfere in the world.

Perhaps in the distant future, which he can not count on his fingers, the goddess will regain her power.

Just like the mythical stories that Dekan saw in the Holy Kingdom.

Every sentence is a true account of the history of the Age of Gods.

There was once only gods in this world, and they had not yet created many living beings.

In this empty world, those who are too powerful can only fight constantly to pass the time, or stop to play some small games.

It started with some very basic games, until it evolved into a chessboard.

Roll the dice to choose the number of steps to move forward, and repeat the cycle.

Even if the road is endless, they can adapt to pausing for a while and then continuing.

Because what they have in abundance is time.

Over time, they created increasingly complex games, and gradually discovered that fighting was not only because they wanted to destroy the instincts that conflicted with them, but more so because the games were not interesting enough.

So they began to unite and pour more effort into their masterpiece.

They created living beings as chess pieces and a world suitable for living beings as the chessboard, and gave away their many powers as gifts to the living beings.

What the gods did not expect was that the game was far more interesting than they had imagined.

They were unaware that they had become excessively intoxicated by it.

Over time, even the gods could no longer maintain their agreed-upon position of absolute bystander. Starting with the first one, the gods began to participate one after another without stopping.

This is a story recorded in the mythology of the Holy Kingdom.

However, a section is missing here.

It doesn't explain the origin of the Shadow World; it's as if it's been erased.

The missing parts of the murals in the Holy Kingdom Temple can all be found in the temples of the Chaos God Realm.

The masterpieces of the gods are far more complex than the world as most living beings understand it.

One destruction, one rebirth—that is a cycle.

What is an incomprehensible length of time for living beings is but a blink of an eye for the gods.

They don't want each round of the game to end so quickly.

So they transformed the world once again.

The world that sustains living beings is the real world, which they divide into many other worlds that operate in parallel without interfering with each other.

These worlds will not all be destroyed at once, and they are able to evolve into various different styles.

In addition, they created the Shadow World.

The world of film will record various moments in world history, some insignificant, some momentous, some regrettable, and some thought-provoking.

They set rules to send beings from various worlds into the Shadow World, allowing them to reenact historical projections under their guidance.

Once a real world evolves to the point where it has the power to create a shadow world, that real world will connect to the shadow world.

In the eyes of the gods, these projections of history from other worlds can be considered excellent learning materials.

Cross-learning between different worlds can not only lead to more interesting stories, but also reduce many regrettable endings.

The gods want all beings to gain experience and reflection from the historical projections of different worlds, to reduce the foolish mistakes that beings repeat over and over again, and to make each round of the game longer.

And so this came about.

The real world and the world of shadows.

A world where reality and shadow intertwine.

403 Dekan's Punishment of the Chaos God

"This dual-structured world is far more stable than the single world originally created by the gods."

"It is a better world, both for living beings and for gods."

"However, things did happen later that the gods never imagined when they were reshaping the world."

Dekan paced back and forth in the temple, looking at the murals with a hint of regret in his eyes.

Not only ordinary living beings, but even gods can make mistakes.

But it is precisely because of mistakes that we can prove correctness; the relationship between them is like that between the world of shadows and the real world.

Such as the sequel to the myth of the Holy Kingdom.

The gods were ultimately too engrossed in what was, to them, a world that was merely a game.

They chose to fight for the creatures they liked.

This battle was far more dangerous than any of their previous time-wasting fights, and even they couldn't understand why they would choose to fight so desperately to protect or destroy these beings.

However, the gods have invested too much power in creating and constantly transforming the world.

They are no longer as strong as they were at the beginning, nor do they want to be unable to kill other gods like they were at the start.

These beings, born miraculously from the implication of His power, gradually evolved to possess the ability to kill Him.

The creatures each chose their own god and allies, and began an endless battle with the gods...

Countless ages passed before this game, initiated by the gods, finally came to an end.

Only one lonely god remained until the very end.

She is the goddess of destiny, and the winner of this game.

"It was incredibly fortunate for all living beings that the final victor was the benevolent goddess Tiki, but for her, the victory in this game brought only sorrow."

When Dekan said this, he lowered his eyes slightly.

Whenever he thinks of the god who saved him, he feels indescribable emotions.

"Her final choice was to use her remaining power to repair this ravaged world as much as possible, sending the living beings to reincarnation so that they could be reborn, and her own existence gradually disappeared from this world."

"Therefore, she is truly worthy of being praised by later generations as the creator goddess."

"However, this is not the end, but the beginning of another disaster."

Dekan paused here, looking down at the god of words, Apertus, his gaze seemingly able to see through his soul.

Apertos closed his eyes in pain and shook his head.

It doesn't mean affirming or denying anything.

Rather, it was a defeat after the truth was revealed.

He knew that Dekan had understood everything.

The Chaos Gods have always considered themselves gods.

However, they were not the true gods of the Age of Gods.

For them, the greatest harm is nothing more than revealing the truth they wanted to cover up.

"With the end of the Age of Gods, a serious hidden danger was left to future generations."

Dekan continued speaking calmly.

"How could the wars of the gods not be considered a glorious chapter in history?"

Since it is a glorious history, it is impossible for it not to be automatically recorded by the film world.

Moreover, it will be transformed into a shadow world of unprecedented scale!

This record is something that none of the gods could have imagined when they created the Shadow World.

Because when they created the world, they never imagined their eventual demise.

However, the fact is that this history was recorded in the Shadow World, and the image of the Age of Gods' War where the gods fell was projected into the tenth-tier Shadow World [Tongtian Annihilation Battlefield]!

"This chaotic divine realm is a projection of the original divine realm."

"And the defeated gods will also be recorded and projected in the Shadow World, forming part of the Shadow World."

"Unfortunately, the Shadow World itself was created by the gods. Even if it operates to its limit, it cannot project real gods, let alone recreate a great battle between many gods."

"Therefore, the central hub of the Shadow World could only, as far as possible, follow the operating logic designed for it by the original gods, and thus a tenth-order Shadow World was born. The false gods projected in the tenth-order Shadow World are you Chaos Gods."
