Abigail? The Xia Dynasty, Where Ancient Gods Were Everywhere

Seeing Rovi looking over, Yu Ji paused, somewhat surprised that Rovi would be interested in this, but she couldn't help feeling smug.

So, how about that? I know quite a lot, don't I?

Although she only understands it, she doesn't know how to practice it, and her status as Star Spirit means that many things are not suitable for her.

"You probably don't know, do you? Hmm~ It's alright to tell you." Yu Ji's lips curved into a smile, her graceful figure swaying, her robes fluttering. "Fourteen hundred years ago, in the summer, a shooting star fell..."

"It brought forth an ancient calamity from beyond the universe!"

Yu Ji slightly bared her canine teeth, as if deliberately trying to put on a threatening expression. She noticed that Rovi only had a comical look in his eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.

The supreme being is indeed not so easily frightened.

Yu Ji was somewhat unwilling. She had just woken up to find herself completely overwhelmed, then tricked into drinking strange "blood," and had her ownership of the Fusang Tree taken away... It seemed that ever since this guy arrived, she had been suppressed by him.

"I won't say anything more unless you beg me..."

"I can ask you."

Yu Ji was stunned.

You are the supreme god, can't you be a little less decisive?

And why did Yu Ji feel even more unhappy when Rovi had already done as she asked?

"I've done as you said." Rovi stood up, flicked his long sleeves, and laughed, "What, are you going back on your word?"

He stared at Yu Ji until her face flushed slightly before looking away.

"But even if you don't say it, I can probably guess."

"Fourteen hundred years ago, during the Xia Dynasty, a meteor fell and a meteorite sank into the land of China, bringing with it a terrifying shadow from beyond the universe. Some people glimpsed the shadow of an evil god within that meteorite and obtained the ritual to summon the 'Old God'."

"How... how did you know?" Yu Ji was somewhat stunned.

Rovi blinked. "You said that?"

"Eh? I..." Yu Ji panicked.

Did she say that? No, she didn't. How would he know...?

"So, isn't it better to just be happy without any ulterior motives?" Rovi sighed.

Yu Ji then realized that she had been tricked again.

She couldn't help but feel discouraged. Actually, Rovi could have guessed these 'beginnings' too; it's all very formulaic, isn't it?

"Fine, I'll tell you then!" Yu Ji shook her head, ran her slender, jade-like fingers through her long, smooth, black hair, and slowly sat down under the Fusang Tree, hiding herself in the shadows.

The development of the situation is actually quite simple. Just as Rovi said, 1400 years ago, when the dynasty that ruled Shenzhou was still named 'Xia', a meteorite fell from the sky. However, the meteorite did not fall from the stars. Instead, it came from outside the universe—like the Atlantis civilization. However, what it brought was not the remnants of alien civilization, but endless terror.

The meteorite was covered with twisted and bizarre patterns, which concealed the ability to summon indescribable beings from beyond the universe.

"At that time, someone deciphered those patterns, gained the attention of beings outside the universe known as the ' Old Ones,' and received their power as a gift."

"That group of people relied on that power to gradually stand out and gain a place in the Great Xia. They were called 'shamans', people who used dance to summon gods and obtain the power of gods from beyond the universe."

"However, the arrival of power is never without risk, let alone power that seems to be obtained effortlessly?"

"The fate of that group, without exception, was to perish amidst endless, delirious madness."

"Even knowing the hidden dangers, countless people still get involved... Hmph, human greed is so endless and ugly that it's indescribable!" Yu Ji said, her mood clearly showing agitation.

This immortal being, who had seen the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and lived for a very long time, may have developed a loathing for humans because he saw that past love.

"Humans are indeed very ugly."

Rovi Wei sat down beside Yu Ji, his robes trailing down, waves rising and falling, the clear sunlight falling on him, illuminating a warm glow.

Although they were still some distance apart, Yu Ji could clearly hear his voice. "Humans also have a beautiful side."

"What beautiful side could there be? Greed, killing, destruction... Pshaw!" Yu Ji scoffed.

"Since you know about Xia's situation, you should have seen the magnificent palaces of the ancient kingdom. Perhaps you have only seen the people standing on the palaces, but rarely paid attention to the people who built them."

"What you see does not represent humanity; what you do not pay attention to represents humanity—of course, it may be too early to say this now, but someone will surely realize this in the future," Rovi Wei murmured.

This ancient land, this hometown of his dreams, also carries many of his dreams.

Those... unrealistic dreams.

Upon seeing Yu Ji in this state, he couldn't help but speak, and so he blurted it out.

Rovi, who craved death, never had any worries.

"You're absolutely right. Human beings are indeed ugly because of greed, but they can also become beautiful because of greed. The masses beneath our feet, those who strive to make their tomorrow better... are the embodiment of this beauty."

"I hope that the sun I hold will shine upon them."

Yu Ji was stunned. She hadn't expected Rovi to tell her these things, and what Luo Rovi said was indeed something she had never thought about or paid attention to.

She couldn't help but look at Rovi, at his tall and warm figure in the sunlight.

Yu Ji was somewhat lost in thought, and suddenly felt a little confused.

The person in front of me, whose real name is Rovi, seems to have a human identity.

Moreover, it possesses a strong sense of humanity.

She couldn't help but mutter, "A bunch of ants, what beauty could they possibly have..."

His words, however, lacked conviction, as he had not paid attention to, and naturally had not convinced himself of, any theories.

Yu Ji bent her knees, pressed them against her chest, and buried her face in her chest as she spoke, her voice somewhat somber.

Perhaps, she really should go and see?

After all, she had been here for far too long.

After a moment, Yu Ji continued to speak of the fate of 'Xia': "No matter what, Xia... perished in madness."

"The last ruler of Xia, the last [Xia Hou], Jie, also practiced 'witchcraft'. He was the most outstanding 'witch,' possessing power comparable to the gods. Jie, too, possessed a madness surpassing all other 'witches.' He wantonly slaughtered, madly challenging the Immortals and Gods, not hesitating to cause the deaths of countless people..."

"The Immortals and Gods and immortals of that time finally could not bear it any longer. The gods Fox Demon Bao Si to bewitch Jie of Xia and delay his madness. However, it was only a drop in the ocean. Even the Fox Demon Bao Si was corrupted into a demon as a result."

"Therefore, the gods shook the heavens and handed over the position of Heavenly Emperor to another person qualified to become the Heavenly Emperor, ' Di Ku, ' and ordered his descendants, the Shang Dynasty, to replace the Xia Dynasty as the rulers of the land of China."

"In his madness and distortion, the last Jie of Xia transformed into God of Chaos. He was killed by having his five orifices pierced open. Before his death, the witchcraft he performed still caused the Xia Dynasty to experience decades of drought and death."

The ancient Xia Dynasty ultimately perished in a state of madness.

Rovi frowned in thought.

The Xia Dynasty was a chaotic era teeming with ancient gods. From Yu Ji's words alone, one could sense the terror of those eerie beings lurking beyond the universe. If the gods had not made a swift and decisive choice, the impact would likely have extended beyond the Xia Dynasty to every period of the entire Divine Continent from top to bottom.

However, this also shows that even the gods of the Divine Land seem helpless against those ancient gods, and can only deal with them by 'blocking their channels of dissemination'.

"... Could it really be the ' Cthulhu ' pantheon I know?" Although in Rovi's imagination it was just a fantasy system from his original world, in this world it is a real and terrifying existence.

If the gods on Earth are manifestations of the planet's nature, then the indescribable beings represent the 'unknowable' nature of the universe itself.

Encountering them here was unexpected, but also a pleasant surprise.

An indescribable evil god...

That's a perfect system for 'courting death'!

Yu Ji tilted her head, looking at Rovi's thoughtful yet excited eyes, somewhat puzzled.

How can someone get excited when they hear about danger?

However, she didn't ask further, and simply hummed. "No matter what, that's an area that absolutely cannot be touched. The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Five Emperors, and even many Creator God, have all sternly warned the Immortals and Gods, and mortals. Even after the Xia Dynasty was destroyed, its influence still lingered. Hmm... I heard that the Investiture of the Gods six years later was also related to this; it was initiated to completely eradicate the last influence of the Old Ones..."

"So I advise you to put your mind at ease. With your current strength, even in an era where Immortals and Gods gathered, you would be considered among the very elite. There's absolutely no need to take unnecessary risks..."

Unlike other places, perhaps due to its unique geography, the gods of China did not participate in the ancient war between the primordial gods and the Atlantis Civilization. Back then, the gods were only focused on the stable development of the environment in their respective regions, ignoring world affairs and even completely unaware of the war that affected the world. They can be considered the oldest 'homebodies'—at least, they were not mentioned in the details of the war that Tiamat told Rovi.

It is precisely because of this that the primordial gods of China safely passed through the initial period long ago. They achieved more stable development than the primordial gods of other regions, and some even reached the level of the extremely special Star-making God Creator God, ' Gaia '.

The existence of the first beings was more than a dozen. With such power, they still stood firm against the evil gods from beyond the heavens. In Yu Ji's mind, this was extremely terrifying.

But the more Rovi listened, the more excited he became.

He wouldn't want it if it wasn't dangerous!

Moreover, he suddenly felt that this might be the path to self-destruction he was looking for, and how similar its chaotic and unknowable nature was to his dream.

It was at this moment that Rovi noticed something was amiss. "Wait, don't you think it's a bit quiet around here?"

Yu Ji was stunned. She also noticed that... the surroundings had become quiet at some point. The tide had stopped rolling, the waves had stopped, and the distant, expansive sound brought about by the swaying of the Fusang Tree had also disappeared.

Those sounds are the 'background' that disappeared from this place, and Yu Ji used to fall asleep to them.

But now, it's gone.

Yu Ji seemed to be being watched by something...

"Whatever you think, you will know." Rovi Wei chuckled, "Indeed impressive!"

"Ugh, why can you still laugh? So annoying, so annoying, so annoying! I shouldn't have paid any attention to you—" Yu Ji wanted to get angry, but she couldn't.

There was no doubt that she was being targeted.

She had just recalled the figures of those 'strange' creatures.

This also allowed Rovi Wei to sketch out their images in his mind.

If it were merely Yu Ji, she wouldn't have piqued their interest. After all, ants rarely attract the attention of dragons, and perhaps even the original gods of the planet would be the same in their eyes. But Rovi, who bears the name ' Yahweh ', is not interested.

The mere fact that this name belonged to the Void Spirit was enough to attract the attention of those indescribable evil gods who resided outside the universe.

Knock knock knock!

At that moment, Rovi seemed to hear the chaotic drumbeats, the countless invisible, writhing roars, and the frantic babbling.

He heard it, and so did Yu Ji.

The girl's face turned deathly pale.

Those voices are the power that evil gods have poured into the world.

Chaos, confusion, madness... Yu Ji's eyes were spinning.

At times like these, the benefits of the name ' Yahweh ' become apparent. Rovi, bearing this name, is essentially wearing a layer of 'armor,' enabling him to see the unseen and endure unbearable 'pain.'

Therefore, he viewed the 'outer universe' where evil gods existed.

"Big brother, you're so interesting, you can actually see us?" A delicate girl wearing a black dress and holding a small plush toy floated in the interlayer of outer space, her eyes empty, but with a black keyhole on her forehead. "Are you also here to see Father? Can you play with Abi here for a while?"

Abi, Abigail, exists in 'Abi', a special being favored by the evil god like a daughter.

But Rovi only glanced at it briefly before quickly looking away, ignoring the disappointed look on Gaia's face and her words: "Big brother, I will definitely find you and play with you!"

Rovi stepped forward and came to Yu Ji's side. His sleeves fluttered, and his raised fingers landed on her brow.

"I shall bear the power of this evil god!" Rovi suppressed his excitement and appeared calm, as if he was afraid that the 'evil gods' would regret it.

"Hmm?" The confusion in Yu Ji's mind gradually subsided, but at the same time, her whole body felt weak, and she couldn't help but fall forward...

Her full figure landed on Rovi, swaying gently. Yu Ji subconsciously reached out and hugged Rovi in front of her.

A warm, soft scent wafted over him, and Rovi instinctively wrapped Yu Ji in his robe. He sensed the chaotic aura emanating from the evil god within his mind, closing his eyes to comb through it, completely oblivious to his own actions...

As her consciousness became clearer, Yu Ji's eyes widened slightly.

How... how rude!

She knew he had saved her, but she still subconsciously wanted to speak, but the warmth brought by Rovi's hand, which unconsciously landed on her slender waist and brushed against her delicate skin, inexplicably made this ancient fairy feel weak all over.

The more the swaying thighs tried to move away, the more they seemed to rub against something.

The collision and pressure, the erect rear end crawling and swaying... it didn't seem like they wanted to leave, but rather like they were caressing each other.

Yu Ji had never been so close to anything, clearly heard Rovi Weina's steady breathing and heartbeat.

She... suffocated.

It's so hot...

Yu Ji's mind suddenly felt a little dizzy, partly due to the weakness she felt when gazing at the ancient god, and even more so because of the influence of that instant contact with 'Emperor Dong Hua of Great Emperor Fusang ' Rovi, something even more ancient than herself.
