The one who claimed to be Old God could not withstand the erosion of the Void Power.
He was originally a mutation of the Moon God Clan and did not possess any greater abilities.
Jiang Xiaofeng hadn't used his full strength earlier simply because he wanted to see what this Old God was capable of.
Jiang Xiaofeng controlled the creature that called itself Old God, synchronizing its memories into his own mind.
The Moon God Clan were brought to the island by the shattered moon.
The people on the island believed them to be gods and dared not offend them.
However, a group of people engaged in friendly exchanges with the Moon God Clan.
The Moon God Clan also generously contributed various alchemical and astrological techniques, including knowledge about cells.
Cells are actually a highly concentrated form of life essence.
The Moon God Clan, using the power of cells and the humans on the island, are conducting research in hopes of creating a new kind of human.
The Collector are one of them.
Those who befriended the Moon God Clan gained deeper knowledge and witnessed a more magnificent world.
However, the people on the island considered these people an offense against the gods of the Moon God Clan and called these pioneers heretics.
The heretics retreated to the Honkai Shrines and continued their research.
New visitors also appeared on the island: large numbers of colonists.
The colonists' technology was far more advanced than that of the Moon God Clan, which was closer to mysticism. Whether it was melee weapons or firearms, the colonists crafted them with exquisite skill. The Moon God Clan Moon God Clan, revered as gods, suffered repeated defeats, and their already small numbers continued to dwindle...
The heretics seized the opportunity to collect samples from the Moon God Clan and all the knowledge left behind by the Moon God Clan, using it to conduct experiments on what the Moon God Clan had once mentioned as androids.
The Newhuman test subjects were also taken over by the heretics, but apart from the Collector, all the other Newhumans died due to improper handling...
The colonists relentlessly pushed the island's native inhabitants back to the beach.
The pagans sheltered the natives, but they were no match for the well-equipped colonists.
Until one person stepped forward first.
No one knew where this person came from, but on that day, everyone on the island witnessed the courage and ability of the man who stepped forward.
He united the other residents who had been hiding on the island, and the Giant were willing to follow him to drive out the colonists.
However, after this person demonstrated his power, the Giant had no choice but to retreat to the background and become a staff member.
Nuoma, carrying her armor, joined him, and the blacksmiths among the heretics volunteered to upgrade the Hand of the King's armor.
And so, Nuoma became an armored the Giant, and the Giant became his friend.
He led the indigenous people to drive the colonists inland and put them under closed-off control, which later became Stilt Village.
He was also put on the King by the island's natives.
Nuoma became the Hand of the King, but the Giant remained the Giant.
After that...
In Jiang Xiaofeng's mind, the memory of this Old God ceased to be peaceful and serene at this point, instead becoming dark and frenzied...
As the last surviving member of the Moon God Clan on the island, he had long been terrified by the tragic deaths of his kin and had retreated into a cave.
There were no the Giant waiting for him or to enlighten him; only endless lava and red crystals that even the Moon God Clan was unwilling to touch.
After the King ascended the throne, he ordered the large-scale mining of red crystals from the caves to sell to the island to sustain its operation, but this was opposed by the Giant.
The King personally intervened, forcing the Giant to cease their opposition to mining the red crystal in the cave.
The remaining Moon God Clan studied these strange red crystals day after day in the cave. They not only discovered the method for making the Philosopher's Stone, but also the special power contained within the red crystals!
The Moon God Clan fell for it easily, guided by the knowledge of red crystal, and captured the workers who mined red crystal to use for experiments.
Not only did they cause an epidemic in the cave even earlier than the Collector, the crazed Moon God Clan even began targeting the insects.
Not only the insects that came to his hiding place to forage, but even the tiny ticks that clung to him to suck his blood, the Moon God Clan did not spare them, injecting them with the power of plague and soaking them in a cellular solution.
Finally, all the research results of the Moon God Clan came to life on their own...
The tick followed its own will to the swamp, where a new body and a new consciousness were born.
The completely mutated tick believes itself to be a god.
The marine creatures that the Moon God Clan secretly used for experiments turned against the last remaining member of the Moon God Clan clan.
Although the sea creature successfully devoured the Moon God Clan, the Moon God Clan ripped open its stomach and ate the mutated sea creature with numerous tentacles from the inside.
This is also part of the Moon God Clan's plan.
This is exactly the attitude he needs right now.
The Giant quickly learned of the strange occurrences in the cave and relayed the information to the King, the Giant then tried to obtain an explanation from the King.
However, the King really didn't know what explanation to give the Giant, and because of this incident, he developed a rift with the Giant.
The Moon God Clan plotted against the King, the Giant, the plague, and even the heretics Moon God Clan had their eyes on them.
The heretics of the Honkai Shrines married their eldest sister to the King as a form of political alliance, seeking protection in the process.
However, the appearance of the Moon God Clan in monstrous form reignited the heretics' ambitions...
The Moon God Clan went berserk, slaughtering all the heretics and obtaining the power they desired.
The infectious virus that pagans consider taboo, named " Scarlet ".
The Moon God Clan crafted a scepter from the bones of their former kin, infusing the power of the Scarlet Plague into its cells, transforming them into true Scarlet Cell that served as the scepter's energy core.
It is precisely because of the Scarlet Plague that the Moon God Clan believe they are now capable of becoming gods of the entire island.
In fact, he did it.
The Scarlet Plague in his hands spread throughout the entire island.
However, because the King actively mined red crystals, the Scarlet Plague was easily suppressed by the red crystals from the moon.
Helpless, the Moon God Clan, who claimed to be Old God, set their sights on the King, who refused to wear red crystals as adornments.
The King's brain, utterly distorted by the power of the Scarlet Plague and the Red Crystal, became a bizarre source of signals, and all sorts of indescribable knowledge were poured into his mind by the Old God.
The King was brave and skilled in battle, with unparalleled martial arts, but he could not understand knowledge that he had never seen before.
After several bouts of madness, the King did not readily accept the knowledge he remembered. Instead, he began to pursue immortality, hoping to use his eternal lifespan to confront this unknown knowledge head-on.
Meanwhile, with the heretics either dead or on the run, the Collector who had fled while the heretics were in trouble appeared...
