The Evil God's Delirium

Morning.

After the bells chimed, the entire forest fell silent once more.

From an ant's perspective, this world was incredibly dangerous and vast.

On the trees, the ground, and in underground caves, a three-layered vertical structure extended the habitable land. Forests flourished, rivers flowed, and the gods had created a chaotic mess of insects and mite-sized beings crawling on the ground, like a dangerous tropical rainforest, serving as the most primitive and brutal ecological testing ground.

And in the distance.

The towering World Tree obscured the sky overhead. Its thick branches served as roads, its leaves were massive platforms where countless elves lived.

The air was fresh, filled with the scent of flowers, like a paradise.

And on the elven trees, more than anything, were tender, peach-like fruits the size of mung beans, nurturing infants. Some infants could even be seen emerging from the center of blooming flowers, as if born on lotus pedestals.

Zzzt!

Iris stealthily approached.

This spider suddenly spat out silk, snatched a fruit, and then retreated silently, like the most agile assassin in nature, hunting without a sound.

The elven fruits on the World Tree were the best food.

But the elven archers were quite terrifying. Their poisoned weapons were almost impossible to withstand when hunting races that invaded their homeland.

If the Elven Race had no ambition, no creativity, and were as immobile and lazy as plants, the races created by the gods below would have already been wiped out.

After bypassing the elven defenses and stealing a fruit, Iris carefully descended the tree, hiding again to study the gods' legacy.

It discovered that after absorbing the gods' structure, it had gained a sliver of Telekinesis and consciousness waves.

But it was far weaker than a god.

After all, it had only obtained a single cell of divine wisdom, equivalent to the first initial stage of the gods.

And it devoured the experimental records left by the Spider God in the Divine Treasure Tool, like a starving man.

It gradually discovered that its talent in this area was quite exceptional.

It was even more talented than the Spider God that created it, which made it both excited and thrilled. Its awe of the gods in the heavens was no longer absolute.

Thus, after the bells echoed, it spent three to four days researching, gaining an ever-firmer grasp of the gods' structure, even utilizing the computational power of the Divine Treasure Tool for assistance.

It succeeded in secretly building its own laboratory, creating cell jars filled with painstakingly compiled gene fragments, and was attempting creation.

"I succeeded! I've integrated the Spider God's data in this area and created a new spider life form!"

At this moment, it felt as if it had opened the door to a forbidden realm, possessing the authority of a god.

Just then, a voice that filled it with dread echoed from within:

"I've been watching you for days."

"Little one, creating life, quite interesting, isn't it?"

Listening to the voice in its mind, Iris trembled all over, as if its deepest secret had been exposed. "Who is it! Who is in my brain! Is it that Lord Kalara from the Spider God?"

"I guessed that beings like gods were terrifying and might still have residual consciousness!"

"But I've tried every method, soaking this cell in water, exposing it to light, yet after absorbing it, I was still..."

Li Qing was slightly surprised; this kind of operation felt familiar.

Iris suddenly said, "No, you're not that Kalara from the Spider God, not residual consciousness! You're from somewhere else!"

"Why do you say that?" the voice suddenly asked with a smile.

"That Kalara was a furious person, he couldn't be this calm!" Iris said. "Are you one of the gods on the tree?"

"Those little fellows who haven't even left their world, those low-level beings who haven't touched the rules of truth, are called gods?" the voice replied with a hint of sarcasm.

Listening to the answer, Iris felt a surge of fear.

Could it be from beyond the world??

After all, that vast figure was one that even the gods had to worship.

This spider silently prostrated itself on the ground, as if in worship, and cautiously asked, "Then, are you a Giant God from beyond the heavens??"

Li Qing's voice deepened, "Kid! I am indeed a god from further away. I discovered that a god was already protecting this world, so I came late. This world already has a ruler, but what I want now is just to bring some fun to this world."

Iris trembled slightly.

This was a war of Outer Gods, from beyond the world!

It felt as if it saw power far beyond the gods on the tree.

Beyond that transparent Crystal Wall, in the endless chaos, lay countless mysterious worlds, and towering supreme Giant Gods holding marbles representing each world.

"You want me to... guide your descent??"

Iris trembled slightly.

After all, the power of a god was too immense.

For a descent and passage into this small world, an extremely complex ritual was required, allowing the beings on the ground to welcome it, so that even a sliver of will could descend.

The Holy Dragon of the Church of Light was that being walking in the mortal realm.

And now, I'm supposed to become the human spokesperson for this mysterious Outer God, an existence like a Holy Dragon? And welcome another God?

The other Gods are going to meddle with this world!

"Kid, do you want power?" the voice asked, simple and direct.

"I… I think I can do it myself," Ilis said, not daring to refuse outright, but feeling that getting involved in something like this would mean certain death.

"Foolish! Do you know what that interesting new king of the human world, Herodotus, said?"

"Fear is the emotion furthest from truth."

"You're progressing, but the Gods in the heavens are progressing much faster than you, kid!" The voice whispered like a demon in his ear, "Listen, what are they saying in the heavens now."

Suddenly, a voice echoed from the sky once more.

On the World Tree.

"I, Herodotus, King of the Gods, lead the Gods to create the second protagonist, the Human Race."

The Human Race??

All the various races across the entire land were plunged into shock.

Most races were incomplete and not strong. The strongest race on the ground was undoubtedly the favorite created by the combined efforts of the Gods: the Elven Race.

And now, Herodotus, with the Gods, had completed a new feat, and a second protagonist for the terrestrial era was about to appear??

The Human Race?

What kind of race was that?

How powerful would it be?

Everyone held their breath.

Meanwhile, in the cave.

Ilis also felt a sense of urgency!

"See? How can you catch up to the Gods?"

The voice didn't hide its intentions at all, mockingly saying, "The creations of the Gods on the tree are getting stronger and stronger. You might soon not even be able to defeat the Human Race. You'll be discovered stealing divine power and hanged."

"I..." Ilis fell silent.

"Build an altar, welcome my descent, and worship me! I will grant you the power of thunder."

The voice suddenly whispered.

An omnipresent, unknown fear enveloped Ilis, making him tremble uncontrollably:

"Become my walking embodiment in this world, secretly build an altar for me, and open a world channel to let another world descend upon this one!"

"Let the continuous mountains of flesh and blood devour this scarred world! Let this world realize the fear of thunder."

"Let this world obey, or be utterly destroyed!"

Despite the calm tone, the voice carried boundless fury, as if an abyss was staring into its soul, filling its mind with terror.

"Great God, can I have a moment to think?" Ilis couldn't help but say nervously. This was too much of a shock for him.

"Little fellow, worship me, and you will gain my power. You will stir up the winds of this world, and even have a chance to challenge the King of the Gods, Herodotus." Li Qing, adding a bit of chaos, then left.

He felt a bit scummy. He had just placed a crown on someone's head, and now he was instigating a rebellion against them. He hoped this little spider might surprise him.

And what was opening a world channel to another world?

It was like drilling a hole in a wall to connect to the next room—an alternate world.

The next room was a very interesting world environment.

It was perfect for expanding beyond the confines of this small single room, allowing them to enjoy a much larger sandbox.

But just randomly breaking through would lack a sense of ceremony.

So, finding an inside man to build an altar, welcome the descent of an Outer God, and usher in an invasion from another world—wasn't that more interesting?

Competition breeds progress.

No matter what, he would stir up undercurrents in this world.
