Chapter 1040: Is... the Destroyer God!!

Main Text

At this moment.

Neithera, the spider-beauty, lay curled on the ground, her eight legs tucked into a ball around her abdomen. She was in despair, waiting for death, with even a fleeting thought of suicide. She had mentally braced herself for torture and physical abuse. But now, she was utterly bewildered.

Where exactly was this place?

What mysterious entity had brought her here?

And why had she come to such a place?

Wasn't she brought here for her beauty?

Although she was confined within a mysterious membrane and had lost all her power, she could still see the strange, intricate block characters on both sides of the street.

The streets were bustling and lively.

It was summer.

Girls in short skirts and tights, revealing their beautiful long legs, walked in twos and threes along the street, carrying small bags, holding cups of milk tea, or holding hands with their boyfriends.

Nearby, part-time students were handing out flyers, delivery riders drove through on their vehicles, and cars passed by one after another.

Further away, under an overpass, someone was busking, attracting a scattered crowd.

"An ordinary, low-level civilization."

Under the scorching summer sun, the earth felt like a small furnace. In the low-dimensional spacetime, she observed these mortal beings moving as slowly as statues.

Listening to the bustling chatter, she instinctively began rapidly processing and learning.

For an entity of her caliber, having descended upon various civilized planets over the years, learning a new language was incredibly simple.

By synthesizing the speech patterns, gestures, and the constant stream of countless conversations throughout the town and city, and processing them like big data, she quickly understood their language.

"'Have you heard? The mall next door has lowered its prices.'"

"'When I have time, I need to check out Taobao and buy a figurine of my goddess, Caroline.'"

"'Exams are tomorrow! Our dorm got a Di Qi figurine, and we're burning incense... We're praying for a blessing from the great god. Hopefully, the study notes from the genius brothers in the next dorm will be helpful and get us through this exam!'"

"'Worshipping Di Qi? God of study? Don't be ridiculous, you're worshipping the god of cheat sheets, aren't you?'"

"'Hehe, both, it means both!'"

"'Figurines of the Three Pillars have also been selling very well lately. I heard many people bought one to worship at home. The 'Aspects of Sentient Beings' statue, gleaming with golden light – it's authentic Buddhist, after all! Only that can ensure safety.'"

"'Get out! Do you really think I don't browse Taobao? The 'Aspects of Sentient Beings' is made of countless heads, showing joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, all staring at you... If you keep that at home, you'll have nightmares at night, it's terrifyingly creepy.'"

"'Apparently, the war situation is very intense right now, and both the Buddhist and Daoist factions are re-emerging...'"

"'Oh, by the way, can we access "Spore Evolution" now? Hasn't any big shot researched a species specifically for the Mother River civilization to enter the Myriad Worlds and revive our Buddhist and Daoist Chinese ancient civilization?'"

Spider-beauty Neithera stood on the street, her eight spider legs delicately touching the tiles. Listening to the strange conversations, she felt utterly bewildered.

It looked very ordinary...

But their conversation was somewhat bizarre.

She acutely heard a unique word: 'Buddha!'

At once, cold sweat drenched her, and her expression subtly changed.

Buddhism!

Buddhism was the terrifying ancient civilization they were preparing to wage war against, providing logistical support for its encirclement and suppression. It had already eliminated seven dreadful taboo existences of the Inspector level... Yet, people here knew about it?

How could such an ordinary, mediocre, low-level civilization know about it?

She stirred.

She moved slightly.

She entered an ordinary household and began to access the internet, researching various information, the structure and framework of this civilization, and its distant history.

After acquiring some knowledge, she quickly found the incredibly popular game "Spore Evolution" on this planet. The terrifying information it contained introduced the concept of a Creator God to her mind for the very first time.

Neithera was incredulous.

The entire grand universe... created by such an entity?

Was it the primordial chaotic origin of the universe?

Was it the original boundless primal force of all laws?

The One Dao?

The Great Dao, the source of truth?

Her eyes nearly popped out as she stared at the computer. This revelation completely overturned her worldview, shattering her tens of thousands of years of existence.

Next, she witnessed an even more terrifying sight.

The Creator God's Dimensional Courtyard!

The description stated that it was a vague, conceptual courtyard in the ethereal realm, where all beings from countless universes evolved... forming a phantom image.

And the Creator God, within it, adjusted the civilizations and power of species... eventually deploying them to various places, determining the future of civilizations on different planets?

An unimaginable thought arose in her mind:

"'So, our Muzhu race, which seemingly spent hundreds of millions of years evolving naturally on our homeworld, crawling out of the oceans, and we thought it was a natural process... In reality, it was already predetermined. Our species had already evolved here, been examined and adjusted... Is this the result of calculating the future and determining the future civilized races of the universe?'"

First appearing here as an ethereal concept... then evolving on actual natural planets... This implies that the 'effect' precedes the 'cause,' involving the law of causality.

That dimensional courtyard, in the ethereal realm, determined the birth of all life, foreseeing the future emergence and development of all life throughout the grand universe!

"The Dimensional Courtyard..."

Neithera's entire body felt weak. "The ethereal conceptual laws of the universe... Past and Future..."

For Ascended Beings of their level, whose Dao hearts weren't steadfast, and whose minds weren't easily unsettled? But with the 'Dao' itself overturned before her eyes, her mind was naturally uneasy.

Next, she continued to investigate.

The Alchemist Emperor, the Earth Mother Qing Teng... various ancient historical processes were laid bare before her.

She soon saw the ancient origins of Buddhism and Daoism, the revival of ancient civilizations, and the existence of Ultra-Ancient Gods...

And the main adversaries they were currently facing—

The Three Pillar Gods.

Her entire civilization had a vague understanding of the Buddhist sect's true nature, but she now understood it more clearly than the Inspectors, or even the mysterious venerable beings weaker than Rank 10!

Thinking of this, she felt an excited urge to confide in someone.

After all, she had been too weak before, and inferiority constantly gnawed at her heart.

"'This is their origin... the origin of the Buddhist and Daoist civilizations... Moon Goddess Ji, the Ultra-Ancient Gods, Reinmansga...'" She had just calmed down for a moment when more terrifying information flooded in. "'Only by observing and understanding it does the Creator God exist, is it perceived... This conceptual end of the universe...'"

"'Back then, the Ultra-Ancient Gods of the Buddhist and Daoist civilizations discovered records and concepts of the Creator God in an ancient ruin, which led to this entity being remembered by the world...'"

"'However, the entire Buddhist and Daoist civilization consequently reached its peak. The flourishing period of this weak Rank 10 civilization was probably far beyond that of the current Abyssal Blue Divine Domain... Moon Goddess Ji, sensing all this, began to contend for this opportunity, and thus... war erupted!'"

The information recorded within was terrifying.

The sheer volume of information completely overturned her world.

Judging by this, even the Abyssal Blue Divine Domain and the Fallen Civilization had no knowledge of this concept...

Even many legendary ultimate existences in the universe might not know...

Perhaps the Buddhist and Daoist civilizations, along with Moon Goddess Ji and others who followed, were the only ones in the entire grand universe who still remembered the ancient history and the existence of the Creator from the primordial era.

Only by knowing His existence and understanding His concept could one bypass all falsehoods and perceive such an entity!

And this great secret was now known to her!

Her head felt as if it would explode, filled with a complex mixture of excitement, fear, terror, and exhilaration.

"'According to the records, this seemingly backward planet is likely the primordial land... The beings here all possess Immortal Blood... The Ultra-Ancient Gods of that era learned of the Creator God's existence within this ruin civilization...'"

She frantically organized her thoughts. This place was a land of unimaginable opportunity, so mysterious that even taboo existences found it difficult to grasp! It was a territory fought over in countless wars.

Immortal Blood, found everywhere!

It was a pity, however, that her genes were already complete, preventing her from integrating it.

"'So, even the Ultra-Ancient Gods and Moon Goddess Ji of that era vied for this place, finding it difficult to enter such a secret realm and being restricted... Who then brought me in?'" Goosebumps rose all over her. A chilling thought struck her, a feeling that her destiny was being manipulated by an unseen force.

She continued to look.

The next image she saw was of the Cosmic Garden, the True Sound of the Great Dao, and that terrifying Evil God... who was attempting a creation event, intending to summon an ethereal entity.

This Evil God was unimaginably terrifying!

Its life structure was incredibly unique; it had fused and mastered tens of thousands of Great Dao laws, bloodlines, and genes. It sought to reverse the laws of the entire universe, causing a grand collapse and regression, converging everything to form the primordial 'Origin' of the world's creation.

"'Ultimately, they opened Pandora's Box and observed a terrifying entity from the future...'" As she rapidly scrolled through the screenshots, all eight of her limbs trembled, and her soul shivered. She was utterly dumbfounded. "'Finally, they saw Him... They saw Him at the universe's final moment... The God of Destruction.'"

The world was going to be destroyed...

She had never imagined that such a thing was happening secretly.

No outsider knew this; a world-shattering catastrophe had already occurred. The entire universe was about to face an unprecedented massive destructive disaster, and this era of the universe would end prematurely.

It had to be said, that conversation and the True Sound of the Great Dao made her incredibly excited and terrified simultaneously. It was too stimulating!

It was a pity that the recording was too blurry to make out the true Cosmic Great Dao Sound. Otherwise... such an opportunity would have been terrifyingly dreamlike.

After all, it contained the sequence and truth of all cosmic laws.

Neithera murmured to herself, "This planet is incredibly mysterious and terrifying... Even such dreadful giants find it difficult to enter this secret realm, requiring immense effort... Who exactly brought me in?"

Her fear grew. The more she understood, the more she felt an incomprehensible power manipulating everything.

"'The one who could bring me here... could it be...'" Her face suddenly stiffened, and her voice grew hoarse as she mumbled, "'Only by observing and understanding the concept of such an existence... will it collapse into a predetermined fact...'"

"'Collapse, into predetermined...'"

She suddenly thought of something, turned her head, and saw an unforgettable sight.

A faint, dilapidated black phantom, seen in the recent images, seemed to stand in a distant, unknown alternate spacetime, quietly observing her... This sight made even her, a powerful Ascended Being, feel an intense, soul-gripping fear seize her beating heart. She couldn't help but gasp:

"The... God of Destruction."
