Chapter 826: Downfall

The Kingdom of Seer.

A massive divine abomination, resembling a black woolly mammoth with six pairs of tusks, slowly collapsed before Wu Ming.

After slaying this divine abomination, his expression remained unchanged. He lifted his foot, and the void before him shattered completely, instantly transporting him to another city.

In the sky, a divine abomination shaped like a vulture, its entire body ablaze with black flames, was circling overhead, occasionally spitting out balls of black fire, turning the city below into an ocean of flames.

“Due to the Blood Moon, these divine abominations have become even more active…”

With a wave of his hand, Wu Ming summoned the Five Elements’ power, instantly sealing the black flame vulture and capturing it.

“And… those conspirators from the Inner World also seem to have mobilized. Using the properties of the Inner World to directly descend upon a pantheon and execute a decapitation strategy?”

A faint, eerie smile appeared on his lips: “I wonder which weak pantheon will suffer a huge misfortune.”

Human pantheons, whether Eastern or Western, may not be the strongest in the Main World, but they are certainly not the weakest.

Protected by more than a dozen supreme deities, even the divine abominations from the Inner World dare not initially target this pantheon.

“Their current objective should be those smaller pantheons… such as the Winged Elves. Of course, it would be better if there were one or two supreme deities guarding them; otherwise, it wouldn’t be very meaningful…”

Just then, Wu Ming’s heart suddenly trembled.

He abruptly raised his head, gazing toward the direction of the Sphinx pantheon, where a massive meteor appeared, flashing briefly and vanishing.

“That location seems to be the domain of the Sphinx pantheon… Are they the unfortunate ones?”

Hiss!

Not long after, another meteor streaked across the sky.

In the original starry clouds, stars shone brightly, but now they gradually dimmed, as if the stars once densely clustered in that region were falling one by one like meteors.

“A divine war?”

To Wu Ming, an existence of such a level, this extraordinary astronomical phenomenon represented something else entirely: “The gods of the Sphinx pantheon have perished… this quickly…”

Even though he knew the Sphinx pantheon was no match for these divine abominations, their weakness was shocking—they were attacked at their doorstep, mercilessly slaughtered without resistance.

Eventually, the stars representing true deities began to extinguish one by one, with not a single being surviving.

Hiss!

At that moment, a massive green comet, trailing a long fiery tail, appeared in the Main World. Although it passed quickly, its brief appearance instilled a profound sense of sorrow in every being that witnessed it.

“A level-eight supreme deity, an embodiment of laws… has fallen…”

Wu Ming sighed softly.

If this were a lower universe, even the demise of a level-six or seven great being would cause extraordinary phenomena throughout the entire world.

However, in the Main World, even the death of an eighth-level existence would barely make a ripple.

Only someone like Wu Ming, a being of the same Da Luo status, could sense how the entire River of Time had trembled in that instant, with one of its stored imprints silently vanishing.

This was truly an incredible occurrence.

Even the Infinite Serpent, who had faced a ninth-level great being before, had not perished so completely!

“The guardian deity of the Sphinx race seems to be that Eternal Enigma… Even though it was a level-eight divine, suffering from an invasion from the Inner World and thus having flaws, to be completely annihilated like this…”

Wu Ming murmured, his face solemn: “I’m afraid even the supreme deities of other races will no longer be able to endure.”

Even before this, Death’s Eye had fought against the Supreme Goddess Bi Xue, but both sides were only severely wounded without actual deaths!

To many natives of the Main World, even deities themselves, the immortality and invincibility of supreme deities had become a given, like the sun rising in the east or water flowing downhill.

Yet now, a supreme deity had truly perished!

“Starting with the blood of a supreme deity… the Void Mask truly dares to act…”

Wu Ming stroked his chin, nodding in agreement.

Without needing much guesswork, he could be certain this incident was definitely related to those rational divine abominations and the Void Mask he had encountered before!

Not long after, a shocking message spread among the gods.

The divine abomination army from the Inner World had breached the Sphinx pantheon, slaughtering every pyramid, and even the supreme deity protecting the Sphinx race—the Eternal Enigma—had perished for unknown reasons.

The changes in the entire Main World, especially the invasion of the moon, had turned the night into the preferred time for divine abominations and monsters to wreak havoc, causing ever-increasing casualties.

Yet the Void Mask’s actions did not stop.

On the contrary, he seemed to have gone mad, continuously leading the entire divine abomination team to purge true deities. Almost every night, bright stars could be seen falling, leaving behind beautiful trails.

This being was extremely cunning, never provoking powerful races like humans, instead targeting smaller ones.

In just over ten days, more than three supreme deities had fallen to him, including the Moon Goddess of the Dark Moon race, an ancient and mighty supreme deity, causing ominous premonitions among all the gods.

Within an inland kingdom on the Western continent.

Monsters and vengeful spirits raged outside the city walls, and even humans sheltering inside the city defenses trembled in fear. Almost every believer fervently prayed to their deities, hoping the night would end soon and light would return.

Since the moon had been corrupted, the night had become a paradise for monsters and vengeful spirits. Many cities, unaware of the pattern, were unfortunately breached during the first Blood Moon, resulting in the entire population being massacred.

Even those who understood the pattern were helpless against the ocean of monsters and vengeful spirits.

At this time, within a cathedral, a cardinal gathered his priests: “Have you all understood the divine message from our Lord?”

“Our Lord is great; He lovingly cherishes every believer, never forgetting to seek a path for them even in the end times!”

An astute priest immediately stood up, making a prayer gesture: “Praise be to our Lord!”

“Praise be to our Lord!”

The other priests echoed in unison.

“Good. If so, the preparations and explanations to the believers will need your efforts… Remember, we do not need any gold or silver wealth now; only devout believers are the ones we must save!”

The cardinal spoke sternly.

“God loves humanity. In times of worldly suffering, He opens His kingdom, allowing believers to escape from suffering…”

The next day, during the sermon, the priests delivered a different message.

“All who are believers of our Lord can go to His divine realm to enjoy a new life free from famine, disaster, and these disgusting monsters!”

Buzz!

As his words fell, the statue in the temple reflected light, revealing a massive portal. On the other side, fertile fields, heavy golden wheat ears, and towering granaries appeared, making all the believers’ eyes light up.

“I’m willing!”

A believer’s throat moved, and he immediately stood up, excitedly declaring: “I’m willing to relocate!”

“Very well!”

The priest nodded.

Although they were well aware that staying in a true deity’s domain for too long was not ideal for mortals, compared to the uncertainty of life and death in the Main World, this shortcoming was negligible.

The gods acted this way, naturally to preserve their strength.

With a pessimistic outlook on the war in the Main World, they had already begun to expand their faith and protect true believers.

A deity may perish, but faith must never die!

Even if a true deity perishes, as long as believers remain, there is always a chance for resurrection through faith.

But if a deity loses its faith, no matter how powerful it is, unless it directly touches the primordial chaos, it will gradually weaken and eventually perish.

For the gods, moving all believers into their divine realms was clearly an abnormal and insane act, but protecting a portion of true believers was an urgent necessity.

As long as they remained, their divine positions and titles would never fall—what a great deal?

With this buffer, even if their foundations in the Main World were completely destroyed, there would still be a chance to make a comeback.

“Great Supreme Emperor!”

And in this situation, the goddess Mazu, Lin Muniang, came again, bringing an invitation from the gods: “The Eastern and Western pantheons are preparing a joint meeting, and the Supremes have issued decrees…”

“I understand. I will also attend this meeting!”

Wu Ming nodded.

In fact, during this great calamity, it was unrealistic for the pantheons to fight separately.

Even if all human gods reached an agreement, self-preservation would still be difficult. The only way to survive was to unite all the deities of the Main World!

Spurred by the Void Mask’s actions, this movement was accelerating.

Wu Ming agreed and boarded the palanquin brought by Lin Muniang. Surrounded by numerous sea creatures, they opened a portal and instantly arrived at a certain other plane.

Boom!

This was a very unique small plane, constantly shrouded in golden light, and at the very top, there was a grand hall!

“This is the Hundred Gods Hall!”

Lin Muniang stepped onto the white jade steps, introducing to Wu Ming: “Jointly created by Eastern and Western pantheons, imitating a legendary artifact…”

The two of them arrived at the temple’s entrance, where two golden doors, as large as hills, opened with a thunderous roar, revealing a semi-circular meeting plaza.

Numerous divine thrones had already risen, occupied by deities from the East and West with distinct appearances.

In the front row of the meeting, sixteen seats were high above, filled with an aura of mystery and profundity.

When Wu Ming arrived here, a new divine throne gradually rose beside the sixteen seats.
