Collision

"Don't run!"

A roar came from behind. Someone like that, who had performed a ritual to help an Outer God open a passage into the world, could never be allowed to escape.

"Get lost!" Ilis sprayed out a web of lightning, instantly numbing everyone with electricity.

An electric eel could discharge up to 600 volts. Because of its size, the Spider Emperor Ilis could only produce eighty volts, but that was already enough to turn these ant-sized lifeforms into charred corpses.

It knew how powerful it was now. Thunder was the nemesis of all flesh-and-blood lifeforms—even the gods dared not approach it—but it did not grow arrogant.

It was time to retreat and hide in the shadows again.

Ilis kept leaping and flying through the air like Spider-Man, his heart soaring with exhilaration. "How interesting! Even those lofty gods on the World Tree who created me are looking at me with furious expressions! So this is what power tastes like. It's utterly intoxicating."

He was clearly very interested in the war of the Chaos Ancient Gods.

Reaching his tentacles into one endless world of the All Heavens after another, those lofty, ancient, unknown existences were truly fascinating.

"What's this?"

After Ilis fled, the gods stopped in their tracks and stared at the enormous hole that had appeared in the world.

The entire opening had just been welded apart. Endless waves of scorching heat surged out, and merely approaching it made them feel the hair on their bodies beginning to curl.

Some elves even refused to believe it and directly tried to touch the hole.

Whoosh—

His entire body caught fire, and he died in agony.

"This is the high temperature of the Fire Lake Era." Herodotus stood in the distance, his expression shifting slightly, as though he had recalled the past history of a civilization.

The Elven Race and humanity, however, were filled with panic.

There was an insider in our world. A mysterious Outer God was reaching its hands into our territory? The passage had appeared right before their eyes, and on the other side was a powerful foreign world?

They had not even finished developing. Everything was still embryonic, everything had only just begun, and both divine arts and Martial Arts were crude and incomplete. Yet they were already facing an even more terrifying invasion?

At that moment, the voice of the God of Light reached their ears.

Vast, divine, radiant, and holy.

"The world has been pierced through by an Outer God. Evil is about to invade this world."

"All I can do for you is buy you some time and seal this passage to the Abyss. All Living Beings of this world, you have one day to prepare yourselves for everything."

"The Ancient Gods in the chaos beyond the heavens cannot easily interfere in the war within a world either."

Having said that,

While everyone stood stunned, they witnessed the miracle of a second god descending.

The entire world passage opened by the God of Thunder was suddenly blocked by a layer of golden-red liquid, which was even hotter than before!

Only after it gradually cooled did they discover that it was a transparent, sealed entrance made of a Crystal Wall, blocking the world passage while allowing them to see the situation on the other side.

"The Ancient God of Light blocked the passage for us with a Crystal Wall!"

"Incredible! The Crystal Wall was actually formed from liquid!"

"Prepare for battle!"

"Elven Race! Humanity!"

All kinds of shouts melded into chaos, but they soon discovered that the intense heat could shape aluminum cans and tin cans. They hurriedly carried them over to the passage like ants hauling meat, attempting to temper metal weapons.

On the other side of the wall,

"I finally finished the project. But that Spider Ilis really knew how to put on an act." Li Qing shook his head with a laugh and set down the tools in his hands.

But those were the gods.

It was only natural for Ilis, created by them, to be excited and exhilarated.

Li Qing had every tool he needed. He carried an iron furnace containing high-temperature molten glass, temporarily blocked the opening with the melted glass, and then left.

This wasn't Tempered Glass, just ordinary glass.

With the opening blocked by glass, all it would take was a little push for the entire glass cylinder to fall down.

And was blocking the entrance meant to give the Elf World time to catch its breath and prepare for battle?

No.

It was for the Abyss World.

If they crossed over right now, they would immediately understand. The Abyss World only had three dependents—the three Abyss Sovereigns—and aside from that, it was completely barren.

"More or less finished."

Li Qing packed up his tools and left the room. "It's time to create a large number of low-level lifeforms for the Abyss."

This should be the last time his true body entered this Abyss World.

He arrived outside the room and completely welded shut the door leading in and out.

From a microscopic perspective, after perfectly fusing the door together until not even a crack remained, he stood before the glass window, wiped the glass on this side with alcohol, and then gazed into the Abyss World.

He began his first act of creation.

"Children, appear in the Abyss World."

One second.

Two seconds.

Eight seconds.

Boohoo!

"Where is this?"

"Where am I?"

"It's so warm."

The glass wall on the other side was covered in bacteria. These Single Cells suddenly gained consciousness and curiously sensed the world. They even vaguely felt the gaze of a towering existence watching them.

These Single Cells were truly born in an ocean, beginning their own evolution.

"The second civilization laboratory has officially begun."

"From now on, during the great wars between civilizations, I can sit in the living room and watch the battles in both rooms—the war of the gods across the Crystal Wall."

Li Qing stood before the glass window, smiling as he watched the Single Cells in the Abyss World.

"My eyes can finally feast on the show." A strange sense of satisfaction suddenly welled up inside him.

As he observed the masterpiece of his creation, they were also observing him from the other side of the Crystal Wall. A line suddenly came to mind at exactly the right moment:

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back into you."

The gods assembled atop the World Tree.

Huge beads of water clung to the green leaves. Before those droplets, the gods gazed at their reflections in the water mirrors. "That world should be another civilization, another existence similar to us."

"We are not without hope of victory." High atop the World Tree, Herodotus, King of the Gods, looked down at the world passage in the distance and slightly narrowed his sharp eyes.

"It is merely the fourth great extinction of civilization."

At that moment,

In a nearby household,

Susannie nervously looked at Sylph. "What happened? Are you all right?"

"I entered the Abyss World. I'm going to figure out every possible way to help the Elven Race resist this evil world! Internal and external cooperation! Protecting that newborn Elf World!"

Sylph silently sensed her surroundings and said, "I feel as though I've become a cell in seawater. Countless cells surround me, sending out consciousnesses like stars filling the Milky Way."

Splash, splash, splash.

Ten meters below, in the deep-sea gravel layer, three writhing beings opened their eyes in the darkness and exchanged words. "The world passage has opened. Even from such a great distance, we can feel that astonishing tremor."

"Another world?"

A deep voice resounded through the sea. "I heard that the beings of that world worship an Outer Chaos Ancient God who killed our Demon Lord. Then destroy them. First, slaughter all his believers."

Sunlight pierced through the surface of the water, its radiance diluted layer by layer. Beneath those strands of sunlight, countless cells gained wisdom and happily swam about, transforming into a world brimming with life. "Who am I?" "Who are you?" "Boohoo~~"
