Seeing this, Qin Ze thought of the Sea of Inversion he had seen before.
That world should be the first Corruption world discovered as recorded in the Desolate God's Diary.
No wonder the Spirit Tree, Relic, and S-Rank Ghost Type— things that seem completely unrelated—appear in the same world.
The world has been invaded by Ghost Type, and life within it is nearly wiped out.
When the Desolate God and the Goddess of Life return, the World Overlord will be revived, which is the strange being in the diary who is comparable to a god.
The order was the same as what Qin Ze knew.
When a large number of living beings in a world perish, the Dominator will awaken.
In other words, the World Overlord has existed since the time of the gods.
What puzzled Qin Ze was why the gods hadn't joined forces to eliminate this hidden danger, even though they had discovered it in time.
Qin Ze continued to peruse the Chronicle of Time, but began to feel a clear resistance, and could only read a few more pages.
The main problem is that the earlier entries were too superficial and didn't record anything useful.
The clone on the Local Area Network couldn't help but scoff.
"How novel! What respectable person would write anything useful in their diary?"
"First of all, decent people don't keep diaries."
"I'm not writing it anyway."
Me too.
"..."
Qin Ze moistened his finger with saliva and turned to the next page.
[Year 2350 of the Divine Calendar]
The world is becoming increasingly Corruption.
[It's practically a plague, spreading outwards at an incredibly rapid pace, completely unstoppable.]
As more and more of the world became Corruption, this force began to infiltrate the Land of the Gods Land of the Gods, turning several areas into dead zones.
[Such a serious matter, but apart from the goddess, none of the other gods took it to heart.]
[Those Birdman are still researching the Star Gate Star Gate! I really want to punch it to pieces. Go study the fragments instead!]
Qin Ze could only say that he truly lived up to his title of Desolate God.
Shattering the Star Gate with his fist—that's exactly the kind of thing he's capable of.
etc!
Shattering the Star Gate with a Fist?
The Star Gate is now in pieces.
Could it really have been Old Huang who did it?
Qin Ze quickly continued reading.
[Year 2352 of the Divine Calendar]
[ The Goddess of Life doesn't seem as concerned about Corruption as she did at the beginning lately.]
[You are the Goddess of Life! How could you become like those insects!]
[I believe the goddess wouldn't do that; she must have other thoughts and decisions. That must be it.]
[Also, I went to the Land of Origin today and checked it out carefully.]
Fortunately, the Corruption did not seep into the Land of Origin, and the Divine Tree is perfectly normal.
The Land of Origin is of utmost importance; I will conduct routine inspections there from now on, and we absolutely cannot allow any accidents to occur.
Qin Ze frowned slightly.
The Goddess of Life's change in attitude towards Corruption left her momentarily bewildered.
Involuntarily, it reminded him of the rabbit from the Land of Origin.
The Dominator, the mythical beasts, and the goddess—these three seem to be intricately connected.
[Year 2360 of the Divine Calendar]
I was wrong. The Corruption didn't spread from the world to the Land of the Gods, but rather from the Land of the Gods to the world.
Today, after my routine inspection of the Land of Origin, I went to report to the Goddess, and unintentionally passed by the New Land.
What did I see?
[ The New Land is breeding grounds for Corruption!]
All Corruption originates from the New Land!
How could this happen!
[At the rate at which the New Land are appearing, it won't be long before the entire Land of the Gods is Corruption.]
I told the goddess about this, but she just replied, "I know."
[The goddess is becoming increasingly cold and indifferent, almost like a completely different person... Gods, do they get their periods too?]
[If even the goddess doesn't care about this matter, then Myriad Races are truly beyond saving.]
Seeing this, Qin Ze realized that it seemed only the Desolate God was busy dealing with the Corruption from the alien beasts in the entire Land of the Gods.
The other gods, including the goddess, were indifferent to this.
This page of the diary mentions an unfamiliar word: New Land.
This was the first time Qin Ze had ever heard of New Land.
He had not seen any record of the New Land in the book that Zi Yue had given him before.
All Corruption originates from the New Land.
Finding New Land seems to offer a partial answer.
Qin Ze used all his strength to turn to another page of the diary.
[2400th year of the Divine Calendar]
As the Corruption of the New Land increasingly encroached upon the Land of the Gods, other gods finally began to take the matter seriously.
They went together to visit the Goddess of Life, hoping to discuss a solution with her.
The Goddess of Life, however, refused to see visitors, saying only that she was comprehending the divine way.
[It's been a long time since I've seen the Goddess of Life; the last time we met was...]
[2410th year of the Divine Calendar]
The gods began to work to control the Corruption, but with little success.
[In the New Land born today, a Strange Beast has actually become a god through Star Gate.]
Why would the Star Gate accept Strange Beast?
I really don't understand.
[The once golden Star Gate has turned a dark, blood-red color, with viscous liquid flowing outwards from Star Gate Sidelines, Corruption vast swathes of the sky; this is no more than the scene of the apocalypse.]
[As the Star Gate opened, the Strange Beast, having passed its final trial, condensed its Divinity and immediately began releasing Corruption into the Land of the Gods.]
The gods clashed with it, but the Strange Beast that had become a god was incredibly powerful. The Bull Head died, and three gods, including the God of War, were severely injured, while the Strange Beast escaped unscathed.
At this moment, I finally understood that the Land of the Gods is not solely Dominator by the gods.
[A single Strange Beast that has become a god is already very difficult to deal with.]
[What if it were tens, hundreds, or even thousands?]
I don't know why the Star Gate was opened by the Strange Beast.
But there's only one way to stop the remaining Strange Beast from becoming gods.
The diary ends here.
No matter how hard Qin Ze tried, he couldn't turn the page.
At this moment, he was unable to calm down for a long time.
The Strange Beast in the Desolate God Diary are actually alien beasts.
It's utterly unbelievable that even mythical beasts could cross the Star Gate and become gods.
Beasts of the same rank are stronger than martial artists.
Not to mention the strange beasts obtained after becoming a god.
In the diary, the mythical beast that had become a god not only managed to escape unscathed from the siege of the gods, but also managed to kill one of them, demonstrating its formidable strength.
As for the Goddess of Life, she seems to have become a "coward."
Ignore everything that's happening around me and pretend nothing has occurred.
Just because we don't know doesn't mean it didn't happen.
Qin Ze couldn't understand why the goddess's attitude had changed so drastically, even though she had initially taken Corruption very seriously.
If more and more mythical beasts were to become gods, the Land of the Gods would probably have to be renamed the Land of Beasts.
Although the method to prevent the alien beasts from becoming Desolate God was not written in this page of the diary, Qin Ze had already guessed it.
That's destroying the Star Gate.
Without the Star Gate, the alien beasts would lose their path to godhood.
The Star Gate has now been reduced to fragments, which indirectly confirms that the Desolate God did exactly that back then.
But there was still one thing that puzzled Qin Ze.
Why is the source of the Desolate God's Source of God found within the Star Gate Fragment?
The answer to this question seems to lie in the diary entries that follow.
Qin Ze put away the Chronicle of Time and stretched.
In the distance, the outline of Penglai City was faintly visible.
