……

In the Pantheon, the gods looked at each other. The ancient gods looked calm, but Louie noticed their emotions fluctuating. It seemed that the devastating blow caused by the Terran Civilization on the world of San Soliel left an unforgettable trauma in their hearts.

The new gods were in chaos. Those that had been able to ascend in this era so quickly were ancient demigods who had lived for thousands of years. They used thousands of years to sharpen themselves, waiting for the time to come. When the new era came, they quickly took advantage of the opening to ascend in one fell swoop.

But even these demigods had only lived for a few thousand years and most of them only knew bits and pieces of information. There were simply too few records and images left behind during that dark era.

Now, the Goddess of Morning Lorentia took the initiative to talk about the Era of Disaster, how could these new gods not be excited?

Searing gazes were pointed at the Goddess of Morning. Even Louie looked at her, wondering what the goddess had in mind.

The Goddess who sat at the top of the gods was also shaken. Her state of mind was also not as smooth as expected.

She pondered for a moment before speaking, “As beings who hold the authority of the gods, everyone has the right to know of the events of the Era of Disaster. I will tell everyone what happened, but please do not let mortals know of this content or it will undermine our majesty.”

Under the eyes of expectant gods, a ball of light separated from the body of the Goddess of Morning. This was a part of her memory. For gods, rather than using words to explain, it was better to bring out their own memories to let others see with their own eyes.

Louie calmed his mind and touched the memory of the Goddess of Morning with his divinity. The space-time in his vision changed and entered the Goddess of Morning’s perspective. He came to the world of San Soliel 30,000 years ago.

In the sky, white clouds rolled, and green grass swayed under the blue sky. The main continent of 30,000 years ago was displayed in front of Louie’s eyes.

Compared with the current era, the main continent was much larger 30,000 years ago. Even the terrain and landscape was also very different.

Louie was surprised to find that the humans had developed an alternative civilization built on magic. The magic of this era was prosperous and even Louie saw several floating landmasses in the air which were actually floating cities.

If the floating city was a part of a divine kingdom, then any god could bend the rules and create one, but a floating city on the main continent would require a god to spend divine power. Mortals who could not use divine power were actually able to make floating islands with magic, showing how incredibly powerful those mages were.

Louie carefully compared and projected. If it was 30,000 years ago, San Soliel’s overall war potential was much greater than modern Earth’s. Although technologic access was determined by social and economic status, the strongest groups of mages in this era were powerful enough to overthrow Earth’s civilization without the need for the gods to step in.

This was a time when magic was highly developed.

Louie realized that he had underestimated the civilization of the world. It appeared that the mortals of this world were much more developed 30,000 years ago. Although the per capita standard of living and the total amount of material resources were still lacking compared to modern Earth, they had still developed a prosperous civilization.

But in some high precision technology and overall war power, the magic civilization of this era was stronger.

In this era, people seemed to be living in happiness and peace.

Seeing this era, Louie felt that it was a miracle constructed by mortals of another world. He raised his head to the sky and lowered his head to the ground.

Because it was mainly from the perspective of the Goddess of Morning, Louie was able to observe a lot of things. For example, he was able to see that the gods of this era were immersed in the arts and enjoyed basking in their desires. They possessed all the power of the world and never imagined that the world would have any changes in the next thousands of years.

On the other hand, in Hell and the Abyss, demons and devils were carrying out wars. While the major realms were also prosperous, painting a colorful multi-racial world.

Louie could imagine this happening easily in a world where magic was developed to the extremes.

Suddenly, time in his vision began to accelerate. One day, a dozen huge wormholes opened up in the skies of San Soliel. Louie could immediately tell that these wormholes were the same as the ones that he was using.

According to the explanation of the intelligent brain, this kind of space-time wormhole was the crystallization of the highest level of technology that the Terran Civilization possessed. It was not used for cosmic travel, but specifically for crossing the Crystal Wall System. Normally, it was very difficult to open a space-time wormhole but what they did was equivalent to secretly chiseling an underground passage.

Seeing dozens of space-time wormholes, Louie knew that the Terran Civilization had been preparing for a long time.

Rays of destruction spewed out from the huge holes. They swept the entire main continent in one fell swoop, and the floating cities in the sky were blasted down. The earth was plowed flat, the mountains were chopped to pieces, oceans evaporated, and even the entire continent began to fall apart. For the Terran Civilization destroying an entire planet was simple.

In just a few moments, the apocalypse had arrived and countless creatures died. The magical civilization of the main continent was instantly destroyed, and less than a tenth of the population remained. The Terran Civilization did this probably to leave a bit of the magical civilization for their own research. In the end, it left a part of the main continent alone, which was the current form of the main continent.

The saturated attack of the Terran Civilization on the first appearance had caused the gods to almost lose all of their faith. The weak gods instantly fell from the stars, while the stronger gods were able to maintain some power, but were also close to falling.

Immediately after, Louie saw what could be called the end of the world. It was no wonder the Terrans called San Soliel a barbaric civilization. In just three days, their high-tech space ships and weapons had spread all the way from the Heavenly Mountain to the Bottomless Abyss. The seventeen major realms of San Soliel were invaded and destroyed to the point that almost all mortals had perished.

At this time, the gods finally reacted.

Although the main continent had collapsed and the gods had lost a majority of their believers, the remaining gods were still powerful. With hundreds of thousands of years of history, each of these gods had hundreds of millions of believers. These believers had generated faith that allowed the gods to survive.

At that moment, the surviving gods, whether good or evil, banded together and began a defensive counterattack.

Louie enjoyed himself as he watched something that Hollywood Movies could never capture. This was simply a war of epic proportions. It was a war between civilizations, between worlds.

It was a one-sided massacre, indeed, but not the massacre of the Terran Civilization against the gods, but the gods against the Terran Civilization.

The Terran Civilziaiton’s advanced weaponry was indeed powerful. In Louie’s opinion, destroying the Solar System with it would be simple, but in the face of a god, these weapons were not useful at all.

Even the best spaceship or biological weapon of the Terran Civilization were rendered useless.

For example, there exists a divine skill called ‘life and death’ which mid-tier gods and above possessed. If they used it, the other party would instantly turn to ashes as long as they were not gods.

Although the Terran Civilization was not weak, it was still on the level of mortal civilization. The gods might be afraid of these powerful weapons, but at the end of the day, they were mortal weapons.

Destroying a battleship was as easy as killing a mortal for those powerful gods. It was even countless times easier than killing a demigod.

Even if they were able to travel to distant universes and could destroy planets with high-tech warships, a single flick of a finger from the gods would destroy everything. Technological weapons were so detailed that a single item breaking could cause an explosive chain reaction.

This was the disparity of rank!

Louie instantly understood the true meaning of this. If the Terran Civilization did not sneak attack and destroy the source of faith, they would not be able to compete against the gods at all and would have been one-sidedly annihilated without being able to do anything.

Although the Terran Civilization was losing, the gods had also lost the source of their powers. They were also walking closer to the edge of death. The countless prayers of the believers in their divine kingdom were the only thing keeping them alive. This was the tragic part of being a faith-based god.

Seeing this, Shae felt that if she did something, the gods would certainly be defeated and she could complete her ultimate wish of returning everything to nothingness. At the critical moment, she chose to betray the gods!

Shae’s betrayal was simply in line with her nature as the God of Darkness. From a god’s point of view, it was impossible to blame Shae because she was originally the embodiment of darkness and serenity.

However, Shae’s betrayal had cost the gods dearly, but also indirectly led to the destruction of the Terran Civilization.
