"According to the system's prompt, that force trying to invade this world was counter-killed by the system's built-in Antivirus Program." Ye Cheng recalled the notification he had just heard.
"Then, after the invading force was wiped out by the Antivirus Program, it left behind some residual energy. The system absorbed that energy and converted it into power, which increased the absorption progress of the Plugin 'Live Stream Spoiler System' by 8.4%." Ye Cheng pondered.
"From that, as long as I remain on Douluo Continent, I don't need to worry about the God Realm. Any means the God Realm has to interfere here have probably been blocked by the system."
"The only thing I need to watch out for is whether the God Realm will fly into a rage and shamelessly send a bunch of gods directly into this world... I wonder whether the system would treat those descending gods as viruses and eliminate them. That would be ideal. Then I could rest easy for good."
"But that probably isn't very likely..."
"Still, I don't actually need to worry too much about the God Realm."
"Because even if those gods descend."
"The system itself apparently isn't parasitic inside my body. Rather, it exists in some higher-dimensional state, like the difference between three dimensions and two dimensions. It has merely bound its functions to me. Therefore, as long as I don't reveal that I'm the system's Host, any gods who come to this world will surely investigate the source of the anomaly."
"But how could something in two dimensions leap into three dimensions? Those gods would most likely be left staring helplessly, completely unable to find the system itself."
"So as long as I don't expose myself as the system's Host, I'll have more than enough time to grow in secret until I become invincible."
Based on the information currently available, Ye Cheng reached those conclusions.
"Right. I can't let anyone know the Q&A has anything to do with me."
"Luckily, so far I've only released two videos related to myself. They shouldn't attract the attention of anyone observant."
"For the next Q&A releases, the content should avoid involving me as well. I need to pick other people for the Q&A and muddy the waters. The protagonist of every Q&A can't possibly keep being me—that would leave far too obvious a flaw." Ye Cheng silently considered.
He quickly made up his mind.
God Realm.
From the outside, the God Realm appeared as an enormous seven-colored sphere, wrapped in clouds and mist brimming with dense divine power. It looked both illusory and beautiful.
Perhaps the God Realm could be called the God Realm Star.
Because this so-called God Realm was actually a planet formed from pure condensed power.
At this moment, inside the God Realm Star.
God Realm Committee.
The Five Great God Kings, who had only recently wielded the power of the God Realm Central Hub, were deathly pale. It was as though they had experienced some immense terror. Their eyes were vacant, as if they had suffered a violent mental shock!
In common terms: they had been scared stupid.
A long while passed.
God of Asura was the first to break free from that indescribable terror. Still shaken, he looked around at the other four God Kings. Before long, the others also woke from their daze.
"..."
The five God Kings remained pale, and none of them spoke.
"We underestimated the mysterious power from that unknown Star Territory..." God of Asura finally broke the silence. His voice was hoarse, and even his fingers trembled involuntarily. He was clearly still terrified!
The other four God Kings said nothing, looking as though they were questioning their entire existence and had shut themselves off after being dealt too great a blow.
What they had experienced after activating the God Realm Central Hub had utterly overturned everything they had ever believed.
As the five seeds formed from the power left behind by the God of Creation, they had grown over tens of millions of years before finally becoming the Supreme Gods of the God Realm. They governed the God Realm and controlled the life and death of countless Realms beneath them!
All along, the Five Great God Kings had regarded themselves as supreme, believing they stood at the pinnacle of the universe. Even in the face of power from that unknown Star Territory, they had been confident they could handle it.
But just now, when they had confidently activated the power of the God Realm Central Hub in an attempt to uncover the mysterious force enveloping Douluo Continent, they had encountered an unimaginable, incomprehensible terror!
Before that mysterious unknown power.
The power they had gathered from the entire God Realm Central Hub, combined with the power of the Five Great God Kings, had been like fragile bubbles—shattered at the slightest touch!
The two powers were not on the same level at all.
It was the boundary between god and mortal!
The gulf between heaven and earth.
At last, the Five Great God Kings understood the helplessness mortals had once felt when facing gods like them.
Before that higher-dimensional power, the strength of the Five Great God Kings was a joke. The power they had been so proud of could not affect it in the slightest.
"This time... the losses are severe." God of Destruction spoke hoarsely, his eyes bloodshot.
Had they not fled quickly enough, even their consciousness might have been annihilated by that unknown power.
But the price was that more than ninety-nine percent of the God Realm Central Hub's power had been consumed in this operation.
With so much power lost, the foundation of the God Realm had undoubtedly been shaken.
For the foreseeable future, they could go nowhere. They could only remain in the God Realm, doing their best to take the place of the God Realm Central Hub and stabilize it. They would not be able to leave until the God Realm Central Hub recovered at least fifty percent of its power—enough to maintain the God Realm's operation. Otherwise, who knew when the God Realm might self-destruct due to malfunctioning functions.
"What do we do about Douluo Continent? Are we just going to leave it alone?" God of Evil asked with a frown.
That force was far too mysterious. They had no way of dealing with it. But they could not simply ignore it either. Who knew what that force's sudden appearance on Douluo Continent was meant to accomplish?
If they merely lost one Douluo Continent, it would not be much of a problem. The God Realm still had over a hundred Realms under its jurisdiction. Losing one would not shake the God Realm's foundations.
But what if the mysterious force's target was not merely Douluo Continent, but the entire great galaxy, including the God Realm?
That was absolutely intolerable!
"How about we first send some Low-level God Officers and see whether they can descend upon Douluo Continent?" Goddess of Life suddenly suggested.
"Agreed."
After considering it, the other four gods agreed as well.
They were merely the lowest-ranking Divine Officials, the bottom rung of the God Realm. Even if dozens or hundreds of them died, they would not so much as blink.
Although the God Realm had rules forbidding gods from casually interfering with the lower realms, those rules had been set by the God Realm Committee itself. As the ones who made the rules, if they broke them, who could punish them?
Besides, the mysterious force in the lower realm of Douluo Continent was too dangerous. Extraordinary times called for extraordinary measures, and bending the rules a little was not unacceptable. Compared to the safety of the entire God Realm, a few regulations were insignificant.
PS: Three updates. I made up for the one chapter owed from yesterday.
