Preacher existed in the old days.
The diary entries reveal that the emergence of the Preacher was largely driven by Old Huang.
If he hadn't shattered the Star Gate with a single punch, the alien beasts wouldn't have become gods in this way.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ze suddenly had a feeling.
After the Star Gate shattered, the alien beasts seemed to have been given a new "patch," immediately adapting to the version without the Star Gate.
[Although becoming a god through faith wasn't as fast as going through the Star Gate, it ultimately gave the Strange Beast a new way to achieve their goals.]
[At the current rate at which they are spreading this "plague," the advantages the gods have gained in recent years will soon be lost.]
I've become the target of everyone's criticism again.
The old folks have shifted all the blame onto me.
[If the Star Gate were still intact, the gods wouldn't be in this situation of defeat once again.]
[But they forgot that if I hadn't shattered the Star Gate early on, they probably wouldn't have even been able to withstand the first wave of attacks from the Strange Beast, let alone the second wave we have now.]
Compared to the gods, the Strange Beast are always able to adapt to change quickly; they seem to have been specially sent to destroy everything.
[Damn gods, damn Land of the Gods, destroy them all!]
Qin Ze could sense the deep resentment in the Desolate God.
He definitely wouldn't do something so thankless and exhausting.
Qin Ze seemed to foresee the end, with the gods falling one after another under the siege of more and more evil gods.
With his last ounce of strength, he laboriously turned to the next page.
[12,700th year of the Divine Calendar]
[Some gods wanted to spread their faith like the Strange Beast, but unfortunately, this kind of "impure" faith was not only unacceptable to the true gods, but also Corruption.]
[ The Source of God has been Corruption; although it will become stronger, it will transform into Strange Beast.]
[This plan was quickly terminated, and the four Pillar God held an emergency meeting to prohibit the other gods from doing so in private.]
[Indeed, the physical constitutions of gods and Strange Beast cannot be generalized.]
[I'm still imprisoned, but having Sword Case with an insatiable curiosity to chat with makes the days a little less boring.]
Qin Ze looked up at the Miss Sword Case, who was playing with the clouds. She had been with the Desolate God day and night, so she must know him.
Is it a memory gap regarding the Desolate God?
Or is it because of something else?
[12,721st year of the Divine Calendar]
The God of War summoned me to the Land of Origin, saying the Goddess wished to see me.
[Thank goodness, she's finally agreed to come out of retirement!!]
Desolate God's mood clearly brightened, even adding two exclamation marks.
[After all these years, the Goddess of Life still retains her charm.]
The first person she wanted to see after getting out of customs was me. Those who know, know how much I mean to her.
[The goddess's power is boundless; after such a long period of seclusion, I thought she must have come up with a way to break this deadlock.]
However, the first sentence she saw was--
[Time's up, kill me now]
"That's it?!"
Qin Ze was furious, and the call to action was cut off at the most crucial moment.
He was desperately trying to read what was next, but no matter what he did, he couldn't turn the page.
Miss Sword Case asked, puzzled, "Why are you getting so worked up about a book you can't understand?"
She pushed the two clouds towards her.
One is Qin Ze's shape, and the other is her own shape.
"Look!"
Qin Ze closed the Chronicle of Time and commented, "You're quite skillful."
Miss Sword Case hung the two clouds back in the sky.
Since there is no wind in the Abyss, these two clouds will remain in this shape unless a strange beast crashes into them.
Miss Sword Case looked at the cloud and said, "We'll always be best friends!"
"Just like these two clouds, they will always be us, and will never disappear!"
Qin Ze couldn't help but smile, and the annoyance in his heart vanished.
Having Miss Sword Case by my side always brings me joy.
Qin Ze smiled and said, "May our friendship last forever."
"Hehe~ Forever and ever~"
Miss Sword Case continued to fiddle with the clouds.
Qin Ze pondered the last sentence in the diary.
The Goddess of Life has decided she doesn't want to live anymore.
But can death really solve everything?
To this day, Desolate God has never mentioned betraying the Way in his diary.
Even if He destroyed the Star Gate, He would only be imprisoned.
Moreover, this imprisonment is only nominal; He can leave whenever He wants.
Qin Ze was startled.
Could this guy have actually killed the Goddess of Life?
Another point is that the diary does not mention that Void Beast appeared after the Star Gate was destroyed; it only mentions the birth of Miss Sword Case.
Where did the Void Beast in the Abyss, and the Desolate God Bloodline within them, come from?
Qin Ze couldn't understand it.
The Dharma King's voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"Stone and I have arrived."
Qin Ze was stunned. So fast?
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the calm sea, shimmering with colorful brilliance, like a giant piece of glass.
In the distance, several returning fishing boats were slowly sailing towards the shore.
Flocks of white seabirds forage on the sea, and occasionally the bolder ones will rob fishing boats.
Several steel warships were moored in the harbor, some with thick black smoke billowing from their smokestacks, seemingly testing their engines.
Among these warships, an old sailing battleship stood out as an oddity.
The patches on the sails and the scars on the hull all testify to the distinguished service record of this "old man's ship".
A group of sailors wearing various animal masks were busy on the ship.
This could involve cleaning the deck or adding new patches to the hull.
On the streets outside the naval port, children who had just finished school ran and jumped home.
After a long day at work, the adults, exhausted from their factory shift, couldn't help but smile as they looked at the happy children.
The Captain, hands on his hips, directed the sailors aboard the Flying Circus Man performers.
"Make sure you scrub the decks clean. If I find anyone urinating on the foredeck again, I'll feed them to the monsters!"
The sailors muttered, "Why don't you come up here and get to work!"
The Captain said calmly, "I'm your Captain, why would I do such menial work?"
Clone: "..."
A group of royal knights dressed in uniform light armor arrived at the port.
The knights were all women, each two meters tall, carrying a strangely shaped rifle on their backs.
Captain Gwenni, where's your little sidekick?
Hearing the commotion behind him, the Captain turned around and greeted the woman in the lead.
The female cavalry captain Gwenni, replied, "She left work early."
When will your friend arrive?
The Captain looked out at the multicolored sea. "Soon."
Over the sea in the opposite direction from the port, a Abyss chasm stretching nearly a kilometer across the sky resembles a chilling scar.
Numerous airships guarded the vicinity, and the sea below was also blocked off by several warships, designated as a restricted area.
Rumble--
A muffled thud came from the crack, and the knights all looked up.
A majestic mountain slowly emerged from the crevice.
"This is..."
Gwenni's eyes widened; she saw a flying mountain.
Sizzle--
A bolt of lightning struck down from the mountaintop, transforming into a figure also wearing a beastly mask.
Upon seeing this, the Captain warmly opened his arms to greet them.
"My old friend, welcome to the Sea of Glaze!"
