"Among the new humans of the Central Region, a king of the new humans was born within the past thousand years. As the king of the Golden Humans, he was also known as the Golden King."
Li Xiaowa was silent for a while before she slowly spoke.
"His name is Gilgamesh. He was born several hundred years ago from the union of an old human and a new human."
"Gilgamesh is powerful, with exceptionally high talent after awakening. By now, he has also grown into an Emperor-Rank transcendent."
"We originally thought a king of mixed blood like him would bring the new humans and old humans closer together. We trained him, raised him, and hoped he would become a valuable ally.
"But we were wrong. He is an arrogant king, and he rebelled. He calls himself the offspring of a god and a human. He doesn't just want to rule all humans, but all gods as well!"
"Wait, he says he's the offspring of a god and a human, and when I arrived, some new humans called me a god too. Have we now become the gods of the new humans?"
Jiang Yang's brows knitted tightly, his face full of incomprehension.
Seeing how difficult Jiang Yang found it to accept this, Qing Fengxi nodded to Li Xiaowa, took over, and spoke slowly.
"Jiang Yang, you need to understand that our civilization can, in fact, already be considered destroyed. You've seen these new humans yourself. In their present forms, they and we are practically two different species!"
"According to our scientists' assessment, based on the theories of genetic mutation and evolution, selectively breeding these new humans into forms closest to us old humans will take at least tens of thousands of years. And throughout that time, we need absolute control over them!"
"So we must become their gods! Our position determines what we have to do. Jiang Yang, do you understand?"
Jiang Yang was silent for a while, then slowly nodded.
"I understand. After all, I'm one of the 'gods' too. For civilization, for 'humanity'!"
With the survival of civilization at stake, who could still concern themselves with benevolence and righteousness?
Perhaps only when the new humans became much like the humans of the past would the "gods" disappear.
"Back to the matter at hand. Although Gilgamesh is a rebellious Human King, he is extraordinarily powerful. He combines the strengths of both the old and new generations of humanity. He has an exceptional physique, extremely powerful supernatural abilities, and outstanding combat instincts."
"Mar of the Sumerian Shelter in the Central Region, an awakened transcendent who had already reached Emperor-Rank, fought him, yet turned out to be nowhere near his match."
Hearing this, Jiang Yang grew interested. Excellent combat instincts and immense strength. Didn't that make him rather similar to Jiang Yang himself?
He was beginning to want to meet this rebellious Golden King.
Li Xiaowa continued.
"That is why the Central Region requested aid from the other six shelters to eliminate this rebellious Golden King. But Zeus fought an extremely powerful mutated sea beast in the ocean a few years ago and is still recovering from his injuries."
"Odin encountered Fenrir, a mutated giant wolf with Emperor-Rank strength, on the northern ice fields. It clawed out one of his eyes, leaving him severely injured as well."
"As for Ra of the Egyptian Shelter and Brahma of the Indian Shelter, they did go. They assumed the names of the Sumerian Fire God and the God of Light respectively, but both were defeated by Gilgamesh."
"Yisha of the Northern Region is currently in seclusion and won't come out. I've only just broken through to Emperor-Rank, so I'm certainly no match for him yet."
"Everyone's been worrying over this, but now that you're back, things will be fine. With Gungnir, there's no need to worry."
Gungnir, the most powerful weapon of the old era! It had been created to confront extraterrestrial civilizations. Even Jiang Yang as he was now could feel the power within it to destroy heaven and earth.
"All right. In that case, I'll make a trip to the Sumerian Shelter and meet this Golden King!"
Jiang Yang nodded to Li Xiaowa and Qing Fengxi as he spoke.
"Good, I'll contact the Sumerian Shelter right away."
Li Xiaowa smiled.
"Oh, right. How are you going to get there? Fly there yourself, or take a plane?"
"A plane, of course. Why would I fly myself when I can take a plane? Wouldn't that be exhausting? Do I look like an idiot to you?"
Utterly speechless, Jiang Yang rolled his eyes at her.
"Hehe~"
