Miss Sword Case's mood has been on a rollercoaster ride lately, with ups and downs.
First, the water-attribute flying sword was lost and then recovered. Then, the path to the Land of Origin was found by chance.
Now, the road is gone.
Qin Ze comforted him, "You'll find it someday."
Just before he took flight, Zi Yue used her mental power to tell him how to "open the door".
But Qin Ze did not intend to test it himself, or rather, it was not the right time to test it.
First, a large, complete World Overlord is needed.
However, the resurgence of World Overlord would mean the demise of the world, and the death of all life within it.
Qin Ze couldn't bring himself to destroy a world just to verify a possibility.
A world like the Illusion Race's is a rare find; it's hard to encounter another world exactly like it.
Secondly, Qin Ze did not believe that the other end of the spatial passage was the Land of Origin.
He had personally visited the Land of Origin and even met the Goddess of Life.
Looking across the Myriad Races of the Abyss, Qin Ze can proudly declare that no one understands the Land of Origin better than him.
On the other side of the passage, however, came an extremely heavy aura of gloom, which was even more intense than the dwelling places of those evil gods.
Qin Ze has two guesses about this.
The first possibility is that Zi Yue stumbled upon it by sheer luck, and the other side really is the Land of Origin.
However, it seems that something major has happened in the past three years, leading to its current state.
The second possibility is that it is the Tomb of the Gods mentioned by the Dream God.
The Dream God has been hiding there, and the Goddess must have searched for that place as well.
The Dream God escaped, and the goddess followed the clues—that makes sense.
But what Qin Ze couldn't understand the most was that the Goddess of Life had turned evil.
"Could this be the reason why the goddess so desperately sought death in her diary?"
And why did the goddess suddenly wake up when she was sleeping soundly in the temple?
Qin Ze's expression changed; he thought of that damned rabbit.
"We need to hurry and go to the Land of Origin to find out what's going on."
"It would be troublesome if that dead rabbit broke the Divine Tree."
The Divine Tree is the root of Myriad Races; it is she who nurtured Myriad Races.
If the Divine Tree falls, there will be no need for any Calamity of the Myriad Races; Myriad Races will perish on their own.
Qin Ze was somewhat annoyed, wondering why he hadn't slapped that rabbit to death back then.
Then, he took out the Relic of the Illusion Race's Dominator and placed it in his palm.
The Relic of the Illusion Race Dominator has a texture like jelly, sparkling and bouncy.
Qin Ze, as if possessed, stuck out his tongue and licked it.
"It doesn't taste like anything..."
Damn it!
How did I become just like them!
Qin Ze shook his head; it must have been the clones who infected him.
The clones ignored them dismissively.
"Come on, you just want to try what it tastes like."
"You can fool your brothers, but why did you have to fool yourself?"
"We know each other inside and out; we know what you're thinking."
Let me try some too!
Let's make soup; there will be some for everyone.
"Please, Pretty God, let me lick it just once, just once!"
"..."
Miss Sword Case also came over at this moment.
Like her clones, she was also very curious about such a complete Relic.
This time, Qin Ze decided to try a different method: stuffing the Relic into his mouth.
Chew, chew, chew...
Glug~
The clones swallowed hard, eagerly asking, "Is it delicious?"
Qin Ze said, "Don't you all know what it tastes like?"
One of the clones said, "That's different!"
"Deliciousness isn't just about the taste; it also includes the preparation before the meal, the texture in the mouth, the enjoyment of chewing, and the pleasure of swallowing."
It's a holistic process.
Qin Ze was speechless. When did a Gourmet emerge from his clone?
The Light Prayer chuckled, "This green field has never lacked geniuses."
Ignoring the noisy clone, Qin Ze checked the progress bar of the Source of God, which had increased from 65% to 70%.
Qin Ze sighed silently, feeling a little disappointed.
This is a complete Relic of the Dominator, and it has only increased in value by such a tiny bit.
"Will it just grow a decimal point later on?"
Qin Ze couldn't help but think of a certain shopping app.
Seeing Qin Ze take out the Chronicle of Time again and start flipping through it, Miss Sword Case, who couldn't understand it, ran to the side and fiddled with the clouds.
The water released by the water-attribute flying sword was sharper than a knife, and the passing clouds were completely manipulated by Miss Sword Case Box.
Qin Ze eagerly flipped to the previous page.
The ending is that the Desolate God goes to the Land of Origin to visit the goddess, and the goddess asks him to kill her.
Qin Ze gathered his thoughts and turned to the next page.
[12,800 years of the Divine Calendar]
Qin Ze frowned; the timing was off.
The previous page was only a little over 2,700 years old, with nearly 80 years missing in between.
Qin Ze glanced down and found that the content recorded on the next page did not connect with the previous page.
He forcefully pried the book open to both sides and, sure enough, saw remnants of torn pages in the middle.
"One two three..."
Qin Ze counted; a full ten pages had been torn out.
Who tore it?
Is it Desolate God?
The missing part is precisely about the decision regarding the Desolate God.
Should He kill the Goddess of Life?
It is highly likely that it contains information related to the Calamity of the Myriad Races.
After all, the Goddess of Life was determined to die because of the Calamity of the Myriad Races.
The Dream God only said that the Calamity of the Myriad Races was "a new beginning," and Qin Ze was hoping to find more details in the diary.
Helpless, Qin Ze had no choice but to look down from here.
[The guy who designed the War Puppet is a genius; with the goddess's divine power, they can regenerate over a hundred times.]
[That's right, that genius is me, hahahaha]
[Based on the diversity of the beasts' forms, I also designed a variety of appearances for the War Puppet.]
[Thanks to my War Puppet all these years, otherwise those useless gods would have been wiped out by the Strange Beast long ago.]
Qin Ze blinked. The Abyss Puppet was indeed created by the Desolate God. No wonder the Desolate God Bloodline could be controlled so smoothly, like a remote control.
The source of the Abyss Puppet's infinite resurrection is the power of the goddess, which explains why the Divine Maiden of the Spirit Clan, as believers of the goddess, can also easily command it.
Qin Ze pictured the scene of the Abyss Puppet Swarm battling the beast tide, and the thought was quite exciting.
I helped those old folks solve such a huge problem, and they still cause trouble all the time.
[I still want to go to the Land of Origin to see the Goddess]
[How dare you! Do you think you can just see your goddess whenever you want?]
From this day forward, no one may see me without my permission. I am the gatekeeper of the goddess!
Qin Ze could tell from the cheerful tone of the Desolate God that the gods were no longer as one-sided as they had been when they first faced the strange beasts.
Moreover, it seems that He and the goddess reached some kind of agreement?
The absence of Star Gate means the birth of no new gods.
[ The Strange Beast God have been reaping faith through plague-like methods over the years, and their numbers are steadily increasing.]
Fortunately, a genius like me has already come up with a solution.
That is, rebuilding the Star Gate.
