After the Lord of the Abyss Awakens - Chapter 133.1

The collapse of the God of the Universe happened in an instant.

“No, no!!!”

This was followed by another cosmic rumble as two great energies violently collided, as if even the great Dao was about to be erased.

****

Meanwhile,

In the vast void near the continent, a mysterious and powerful force suddenly awakened, surging like a tide, quickly spreading to the surroundings, affecting an area of tens of thousands of meters.

In just an instant, a completely new continent seemed to be born from nothingness, followed by towering castles and buildings rising from the ground, resplendent and majestic, sacred and solemn. Their radiance was like bright lamps, illuminating the surrounding dark cosmic space.

Among the gods observing this scene, some showed shock on their faces, while others frowned, their hearts filled with confusion.

For those beings who knew nothing about all this, They only felt an unprecedented sense of pressure, as if some ancient and terrifying force was reviving.

No, not just one, but many, countless in number.

What exactly happened, who was He, who were They, why did They suddenly appear here?

****

The Continental Human Alliance’s reaction was somewhat delayed, only realizing the shocking changes in the universe several minutes later.

At the top of the Alliance Tower, Norman Til looked up into the distance, his right hand on his sword hilt, brows furrowed, eyes deep in thought.

Humans, including him, knew little about the current situation and could only make guesses based on speculation lacking solid evidence.

The continent that suddenly appeared in subspace was the work of the “Creator God.”

The Creator God, this hidden mastermind behind all legends, had finally surfaced.

The current situation should be a prelude to the war between the Creator God and the “Lord of the Abyss.”

What would happen? And what would become of humanity’s future?

Norman Til frowned deeply, feeling powerless in his heart.

Just then, he heard two sets of footsteps behind him.

“Your Excellency Norman Til, that must be the culprit who has been limiting humanity’s upward development,”

Sword Saint Simon walked to the terrace and stood beside Norman Til, turning his head to look at him.

Norman Til lowered his head and said in a deep voice. “It should be.”

Simon’s eyes flashed with killing intent as he gritted his teeth. “He has finally shown His true form.”

At this time, another Sword Saint also came over.

With each step Sword Saint Lia took, her armor made clanking sounds.

She had a cold expression as she stopped and looked up at the universe, saying, “Why doesn’t He continue hiding? The advantage of staying hidden is surely greater than being in the open.”

Norman Til thought for a moment and gave a shocking answer.

“Probably because of face.”

Simon and Lia both froze, “What?”

Simon couldn’t help but ask, “The Creator God cares about putting on a show?”

Lia pondered. “No, we should say especially the Creator God cares about putting on a show.”

Norman Til nodded. “Since He has already appeared, it won’t just be a simple appearance.”

Speaking thus, his expression turned serious, “In any case, this is another matter where we humans have no role to play.”

Simon paused, feeling somewhat indignant, “Why? That guy has limited humanity’s development, we humans have a deep blood feud with Him that can’t be reconciled. Are we just going to watch Him cause trouble?”

Norman Til turned to look at Simon, “Between being bystanders or facing destruction, which would you choose?”

Simon froze, instinctively wanting to say he would rather face destruction than live in cowardice, but he was just one swordsman among billions of humans – he had no right to declare war on the Creator God on humanity’s behalf.

Lia’s expression was complex as she said in a low voice. “Are we really this powerless?”

Norman Til shook his head and smiled. “No, we are only powerless now. If after the war, the Creator God falls, then His limitations on us should also disappear.”

This would be tremendously good news.

But Lia saw the key issue, “However, whether it’s victory or defeat, this fate isn’t in our hands. Norman Til, is there really nothing we can do?”

Being helpless and only able to wait for judgment was too painful and unbearable.

“Perhaps there is.”

Norman Til fell into deep thought.

Lia and Simon asked simultaneously, “What is it?”

Norman Til answered. “For now, everyone should stay vigilant and seize every moment to increase their strength. Whatever the outcome, we’ll need powerful strength to rely on.”

Simon and Lia exchanged glances.

What he said was too right. This universe only recognized one truth – that was strength. No matter what, doing what they could do was the only thing they could do.

After all, worrying wouldn’t help.

“Speaking of which, has His Excellency Wang Chang’er said anything?”

Simon suddenly asked.

Norman Til shook his head, “His Excellency Wang Chang’er told me to stay here to protect the Alliance, he has other matters to attend to.”

Actually, everyone knew what Wang Chang’er was doing.

Lia thought for a moment before asking, “But at such a crucial moment…”

She didn’t finish, but everyone knew what she wanted to say.

With more terrifying enemies above, Wang Chang’er, one of humanity’s top combat forces, chose to go to Elven territory. Although everyone knew the purpose of his journey was to settle accounts with the Elves, at this critical moment, shouldn’t they hope for his return to solidify humanity’s defensive line?

Norman Til answered. “The heroes see further than we do, they have their own plans and considerations.”

After hearing this, Lia also realized. “Indeed.”

“Let’s do what we should do.”

Simon looked toward the sky and said softly, “This isn’t humanity’s stage yet.”

Meanwhile.

In the palace of the Oedipus Empire, two voices were discussing.

“Is that thing in the sky really okay? Are we facing the end of the world? Is humanity going to be destroyed?”

“Don’t worry too much, Your Majesty. Even if it’s destruction, it would only be a moment’s matter, you wouldn’t feel anything.”

“Destroyed in an instant? What you’re saying is even more frightening!”

King Levin paced back and forth in the great hall, restless and anxious. Suddenly realizing something important, he looked at the Prime Minister with a horrified expression. “Wait! Why do you sound like you’ve seen many destructions before?”

The Prime Minister calmly said, “Haha, Your Majesty, that’s just what storybooks say.”

“…Don’t try to fool me with storybooks.”

Ten minutes later, Prime Minister Norwich finally managed to comfort King Levin.

Levin came worried and left in a daze, clearly frightened.

The Prime Minister watched Levin’s retreating figure and thought to himself that there was actually nothing to worry about, because both survival and destruction had nothing to do with current humans. Although the truth was cruel, facts were facts. One had to accept facts to keep moving upward, right?

It wasn’t yet time for humans to step onto the stage of history. Accumulating experience was important, wasn’t it?

The Prime Minister’s expression was calm. A few seconds later, He slowly stood up, manifesting the form of the Goddess of Wisdom.

At the same time, another goddess walked out from behind Her.

It was the Goddess of Fortune who was temporarily staying at Her place because there were many enemies outside.

The Goddess of Fortune sat casually on the sofa, her eyelids lowered, and suddenly asked, “Wisdom, which side do you stand on in this war?”

The Goddess of Wisdom slowly turned around, Her gaze falling on the Goddess of Fortune’s eyes.

The answer seemed self-evident – She would remain neutral.

The Goddess of Fortune raised an eyebrow and said, “But you’re no longer neutral. In the Creator God’s eyes, you’ve helped them by providing information. If the Creator God wins in the end, He will surely erase you.”

The Goddess of Wisdom was silent, then suddenly said, “Erase the concept of ‘wisdom’ from this universe?”

The Goddess of Fortune smiled and tilted her head. “You think it’s impossible? You think He won’t do it?”

Goddess of Wisdom: “…”

The Goddess of Fortune stood up and said with interest, “Wisdom, don’t tell me you don’t know.”

Living beings actually don’t need wisdom. Without wisdom, the universe can still operate, living beings can still survive. Wisdom isn’t necessary for the universe and all things. Wisdom might even bring trouble, like those carefully designed evils.

The Goddess of Fortune looked at the Goddess of Wisdom and continued. “I think He is completely capable of erasing you, just like He has erased other concepts before.”

The Goddess of Wisdom seemed unmoved and spoke gently, “You remembered?”

Before this, they knew nothing about the Creator God, at most only a concept. However, with the Creator God’s appearance, information about Him began to surface one by one in their minds.

Their previous knowledge seemed to be shrouded in a fog, had been tampered with, but now with the Creator God’s arrival, all gods should know Him and feel His majesty and power. Therefore, legends and information about the Creator God gradually became clear.

The Goddess of Fortune only learned at this time that the Creator God was not a perfect creator. He often created some “incomplete” and “logically chaotic” works, which after brief “operation,” He would abandon, either throwing them into nothingness or directly erasing them.

Based on this information, the Goddess of Fortune deduced that for those gods and demons who remained neutral or opposed Him, the Creator God would remember them all, waiting to eliminate them one by one after the war ended.

Was this cruel? Undoubtedly. But in the Creator God’s view, He was just gently erasing discordant scribbles on paper.

Thinking of this, the Goddess of Fortune fell silent, her hands hanging at her sides unconsciously clenched into fists.

The Goddess of Wisdom suddenly said, “So, will you stand on His side?”

The Goddess of Fortune was startled and looked up. “I don’t care, but I also don’t want to stand with the Abyss side, because many of them question my taste.”

The Goddess of Wisdom said flatly, “You’re still hung up on that matter.”

“Shouldn’t I be?”

The Goddess of Fortune was calm at first, but now a flash of anger appeared in her eyes, as if remembering Beelzebub, and the more hateful Zepar.

“If you’re also neutral, isn’t your position the same as mine?” said the Goddess of Wisdom.

“Who knows, it doesn’t really matter to me, maybe I’ll act on a whim?”

The Goddess of Fortune didn’t say which side she would help.

The Goddess of Wisdom smiled without speaking.

“They just shouldn’t force us to take sides.”

Speaking of this, the Goddess of Fortune’s expression showed some complexity, “It’s just a pity about Harmony.”

“You mean Harmony who unfortunately fell into the God of Chaos’s body?”

“Yes.”

“It was time for Her to end then.”

The Goddess of Wisdom’s tone was very cold.

The Goddess of Fortune gently bit her lip.

Gods’ fates couldn’t be judged by the same standard. Some gods really had laborious destinies, running around all day long, claiming it was for believers or world peace, which seemed completely incomprehensible to the Goddess of Fortune. Taking a brief pause was probably appropriate. Although the concept of harmony would never pause.

The room gradually fell silent.

****

Meanwhile, at the Elven tribe.

Wang Chang’er and Ye Qingyi joined forces, and with the cooperation of the Elf King, successfully suppressed those stubborn forces within the Elven race.

Although the Elves were naturally proud, they had to submit to strength, especially when the other side held the moral high ground.

After matters were largely dealt with, as if sharing the same thought, they both simultaneously turned their gaze toward the distant northern forest.

Their eyes met, and they nodded in tacit understanding before their forms gradually dispersed. The next instant, they appeared in a dense forest, facing a purple-black lake, with silence all around.

They looked simultaneously toward the center of the lake.

There was nothing there except water, but a second later, black light flashed and space shattered.

A humanoid creature walked out from it, hovering above the water surface, with a smile on its lips. Its dark and turbid eyes seemed to gather all the filth in the world, cold and deep, like the eyes of a poisonous snake.

How could they not recognize who this was?

Wasn’t it their old enemy, the Evil of the Universe?

“You dare to appear?”

Ye Qingyi’s tone turned cold, and she immediately saw through that this was only a split body. This thing was generally unremarkable, but it was truly good at hiding, loving to conceal itself in the ubiquitous evil substance. As long as there was endless evil in the world, it could not be truly locked down.

Repeatedly killing Xiu, trapping them in black coffins for thousands of years, various behind-the-scenes schemes. Who wouldn’t hate It to the bone?

This face of Arnold’s was even more laughable. Wang Chang’er coldly snorted.

In an instant, both of them revealed their killing moves.

The lake surface immediately erupted in huge waves.

Arnolo had a magic sword at His neck, countless lethal attacks were imminent, in just a second, His head would fall and His body would shatter.

But He suddenly said, “I’m here to deliver someone.”

Wang Chang’er immediately frowned.

Ye Qingyi stopped the operation of her magic.

Arnolo faced them, smiled slightly, then spread His hands.

The void beneath His hands shattered, and a black coffin appeared horizontally in the air, then quietly hung above the lake surface.

Wang Chang’er and Ye Qingyi’s pupils contracted simultaneously – how could they not recognize this was their good friend Chen Lingxi.

Wang Chang’er stared at Arnolo and coldly asked, “What are you trying to do?”

“Giving it away freely.”

Arnolo stood with His hands behind His back, nodding, “Because I’ve already lost, I must admit defeat and submit.”

Such pretense, it was nauseating.

Ye Qingyi narrowed her eyes and quickly used magic to steadily retrieve the black coffin.
