N'kai
Beneath the Heavenmark Continent, in that endless abyss, lies a dark dimension— N'kai. Within it, something invisible and unknowable seems to exist silently.
Although the other party did not move, and you could not see Him in the darkness, everyone who entered this place had a strong feeling that He stood there, silently waiting for the offering to enter.
Two members of the Church of Doom, holding a struggling person, slowly walked up the Infinite Staircase to this spot. They threw the Church down and stood still until everything stopped, then slowly retreated.
Of course, if someone with special spatial senses were here, they would feel as if this place were connected to countless Infinite Staircase and countless locations, with a large number of humans or other creatures being thrown here as sacrifices.
Tsathoggua, or Tsathoggua, may not hold a very high position, but he has an exceptionally large number of worshippers. He resides in the dark dimension N'kai, and through the connection of the dark dimension, many worlds have his followers.
Iger, once the Father of Serpents, has become the father of the Snake People, a position he cannot shirk.
Years ago, some curious Snake People explorers discovered a path leading to the Black Pool Moon N'kai.
There, they discovered the altar of Tsathoggua.
The image of Tsathoggua is that of a Sloth, pot-bellied toad-like god who always sits in a squatting position. The toad god possesses great power and wisdom, and many Snake People who worship him turned away and betrayed their original faith.
Even worse, the secrets of the main world were leaked, revealing to Tsathoggua that the main world was the Land of the End. As a result, Tsathoggua launched a divine war against Iger, attempting to conquer the main world.
However, Iger was still very strong at that time, so Iger won the war, which was also the last time Iger won.
Having failed and retreated to N'kai, Tsathoggua, seeing no other opportunity, leaked news of the Land of the End. It can be said that this deity is the biggest culprit behind the turmoil in the multiverse in recent years.
This being in N'kai maintains a sacred and Sloth posture, never moving, waiting for various offerings to be sent from different dimensions.
Of course, it's not that it never moves; it's just that it has never been seen moving by humans or some other short-lived or even long-lived species.
Today, some believers were "fortunate" enough to witness His movement, though the price may have been their lives.
Within N'kai, an amorphous entity resembling a toad moved, imprisoning all the humans who brought sacrifices. Amorphous mycelium emanated from its body, surging outwards.
A giant spider with a human face crawled into N'kai, Atlach -Nacha, the Spider God, from who knows where.
This being had an extremely close relationship with Tsathoggua, and sometimes shared human sacrifices, although for them this sometimes took thousands of years or even longer.
The last time these two beings dined together was more than two hundred years ago, when they descended upon the Heavenmark Continent together, tearing the surface of the Heavenmark Continent apart. Tsathoggua released a large number of Formless Spawn, causing irreparable damage to the Heavenmark Continent.
"So the Child of Ashes still made a move against this world?" Tsathoggua vibrated through the dark dimension, communicating with the Spider God.
"That's right. Once he rules the dark side of the world, it will have a huge impact on the Dream Bridge," Atlach replied affirmatively.
Although Tsathoggua failed to win the battle for the main world from Iger, he did not gain nothing. This is why Atlach began a deep collaboration with Tsathoggua.
"Then let the war begin!" Tsathoggua declared.
Thus, the power overflowed from the dark dimension, tearing apart the ground of the Heavenmark Continent. Countless powers overflowing from Tsathoggua transformed into Formless Spawn, which, in appearance, resembled the shadow creatures of Gresta —amorphous, pitch-black entities.
However, if we compare them, we will find that the two are different. The Formless Spawn is a product of the Dark Dimension, also known as the egg of Tsathoggua, and is pure darkness, while Gresta is the power of shadow.
Most of the time, darkness and shadow are confused, but in reality, although they are similar, they are not the same. Shadow is the opposite and fusion of light and darkness, which is why the Shadow Kingdom needs to connect with the dark side of other worlds, using the positive side of the world as a light source to strengthen the Shadow Kingdom.
Who am I? Where am I now? What am I supposed to do?
The elite decapitation squad of hundreds outside the city was completely bewildered. What was going on? Suddenly it had turned into a world war, with the Shadow Cult's Thousand-Dimensional Eye, Shadow Legion, and Serpent Clan all joining the battle.
Meanwhile, numerous Formless Spawn and giant spiders appeared on the ground, constantly battling each other, leaving no place for humans to stand.
"It's all an illusion, it won't scare us!!" Someone rushed frantically towards the city, only to be instantly reduced to ashes by an energy ray emitted from the Thousand-Dimensional Eye in the sky.
"Don't do this! We just want to fight a boss!" Some people even started crying.
This made Fang Yan feel even more uneasy. This was not a hallucination; he was certain that something around them was impacting their minds, making them fragile, and it was normal for them to accidentally go crazy.
"Look what we found!" a cheeky voice suddenly rang out. "A bunch of wild natives, oh, and some spider jellies too."
"These are all rare and valuable items. Wild natives carry items called 'Sky Mark,' which are extremely precious. You can extract them from their bodies by removing their heads."
"There are also spider jellies. They were originally human, but were later transformed into a special structure by a giant spider. They contain a lot of useful information. Once you remove their shells, you can use them."
"Shh, don't talk, let me catch them from behind..." A man dressed as a black Assassin was holding a selfie stick, speaking to the hundred-plus people with his back to them. Occasionally, he would clasp his hands in a fist salute and loudly proclaim, "Thanks for the ten big swords, bro! Thank you, bro!"
"Taking this opportunity to advertise, I own Some Shop of goods at fair prices. If you're interested, feel free to come and buy various items. The shop is undergoing renovations, and for the last three days only, all genuine products are 20 yuan! All 20 yuan!"
"Alright, time to get down to business!" Shadow B turned around, looked at the elite decapitation squad, and flashed his white teeth. "Have you all decided how you want to die?"
It's already past midnight. I had insomnia again last night until 5 a. m. I just can't fall asleep anymore, it's so frustrating... I'm really sorry everyone.
