Chapter 1125: Aftermath

The storm did not last for the entire horrifying forty-nine days after all.

Instead, after enduring for another whole ten days and ten nights, it slowly subsided.

When the thunderbolt that tore the sky no longer reverberated, shaking the firmament; when the towering storm clouds no longer stood at the edge of the sky, dividing heaven, sea, and earth… At this moment, sunlight and moonlight finally pierced through the darkness, each shining on different surfaces of the planet, restoring the normal cycle of day and night, no longer a lightless world devoid of day or night.

Of course, this super-extreme and abnormal weather change on a planetary scale was originally a catastrophe.

Whether it lasted uninterruptedly for ten days or forty-nine days, it actually made little difference; after all, its effects were destructive, absolutely enough to become another mass extinction of life…

—— Only in such a twisted and crazy world, it was apparently impossible to become the main issue.

—— Let it be known that the Ancient Gods of the Second Epoch did not die in catastrophe, but by the hand of the Ancient Sun God, falling in the most direct war, so-called absence of sunlight, rampant floods, and other catastrophes were merely insignificant aftershocks of the divine war.

The vast universe is so expansive; more than two-thirds of the extraordinary material is gathered on this small planet. In other regions of the universe, countless star systems might only see one Angel appear, whereas on this planet there are at least over a hundred, which shows how terrifying it is, almost indicating that Earth is indeed the center of the universe in this world.

After all, the double pillars “Celestial Venerable” and “God” both fell on this planet…

Including “The First,” the Creator’s brief awakening also occurred on this planet…

Moreover, those unfortunate Outer Gods had their essence and characteristics torn away, which means too many symbols and authorities gathered on Earth, enough to give rise to too many Sequence 0, genuine Gods.

Therefore, general pure disasters can hardly truly shake the foundation of this world anymore.

Of course, this dreadful divine war cannot be said to have changed nothing; it still caused extremely severe impacts… not direct physical harm or destruction to the world, but tremendous shock and subversion to the ideologies of civilization and society, also a reshuffling of the existing order, coming coldly and swiftly.

After all, ever since the “Pale Era,” during the tail end of the Fourth Epoch, the barrier left by “The First” began to show cracks.

This was the beginning of a fatal crisis and the source of apocalyptic prophecies.

To impede the Outer Gods’ deepening invasion of reality, and prevent the gaze from the stars being cast upon the earth, the Seven Gods of today chose to relocate their divine kingdoms to the Star Realm to fill the gaps, no longer walking the earth, divine messages almost ceased.

And now, in the Fifth Epoch, extraordinary species are gradually disappearing, with Dragons, Giants, and Elves only recorded in books, and the Sea Race long no longer appearing near the sea. This signifies that extraordinary factors in human civilization have become hidden, the mysterious world is no longer known to ordinary people, even the faith in the Orthodox Church gradually evolves towards seeking spiritual solace.

Indeed, faith is still faith, but the logic within it has subtly changed.

In addition to the baptism of the renowned Roselle Era, which instigated the Industrial Revolution and the new thoughts leading North and South Continents, further consolidating this pattern in today’s mainstream society…

Until——

This sudden divine war inevitably brought the mysterious and extraordinary brilliance back into the view of the general public.

…

…

Durant.

This is a small town in the southern Lune Kingdom near Disi Bay; due to the surrounding complex terrain, surrounded by mountains on three sides, almost a semi-enclosed environment, transportation is very inconvenient, and naturally, it has not developed much. It has only a population of over seven thousand, without a steam train station, and airship routes do not pass through here.

However, such a semi-enclosed environment is not entirely without advantages.

For example, certain Secret Organizations might very much like such environments, tending to develop forces and operate bases in these places.

In a certain hotel in the town, in a room on the fourth floor, a young man with black hair and brown eyes, ordinary features, a deeper outline, and a somewhat scholarly air is sitting at the desk in the room, holding a pen and frowning, contemplating something. The next moment, he seemed to feel something, looking up towards the window and suddenly showing a delighted expression: “A rainbow has appeared…”

Sunlight pierced through the clouds, raindrops became finer and finer, and the edge of rapidly moving clouds exposed a deep blue sky.

As if piercing through everything, the profound blue arching a beautiful rainbow.

“Hiss——!!”

Klein took a deep breath, staring at the deep azure sky closely gazing at the dazzling illusory rainbow bridge, moments later he couldn’t help but pinch himself hard, grimacing in pain, yet confirming that he wasn’t dreaming.

He was really afraid that this divine war would continue indefinitely, fearing endless storms and thunderbolt would become the norm in the future, continuing for millennia after millennia; that would truly be a catastrophic disaster… even if in today’s world, existing civilization and society could continue to operate relying on the power of the Divine Spirit, but that would be an oppressive, despairing dark future.
