Chapter 541: Chapter 374: The Gods’ Secret, Primordial Continent!
Romantic Epic Records
The gods ruled over all living beings of the world, with everyone adrift in the Romantic Sea while only the gods walked upon the shores.
They looked upon the struggling multitudes in the Romantic Sea and did not extend a helping hand, merely standing silently at the few landing points.
The beings struggling in the Romantic Sea could not reach the shore.
One day, a change in the heavens occurred, and a group of people ingested the remains of the first group who failed to land, pulling the deities on the shores into the water and stepping onto the land.
This group of gods was named
the New Gods
The New Gods launched a divine war against the Old Gods, known as the Second Divine War...
The sky of the Gods Continent became less monotonous.
Beneath windmills, amidst rice fields, and by the shallow sea, people could see the vibrant colors constantly appearing in the sky.
The divine miracles that had not descended for thousands of years now frequently appeared in this era.
The New Gods, lacking in heritage, were supported by a certain power.
In the mortal world, countless heroes of the Human Race joined the New Gods’ ranks, slaying gods becoming their greatest belief.
Most ostracized alien deities also joined the New Gods’ ranks.
By the time the Old Gods reacted, the New Gods had already occupied the original territory of the Northern Cold Pantheon.
As each New God ignited the Divine Fire.
The Godslaying Alliance was renamed to Freedom Alliance.
The Hanhao Empire, one of the Five Great Empires, became the territory of the Freedom Alliance.
At a critical moment, the Old Gods faced rebellion at home, and after suppressing those who stole faith, they found the Freedom Alliance had grown into a formidable organization.
A war to seize faith officially began on this continent.
Heroic Spirits slumbering for thousands of years were awakened by deities.
Divine Creatures were elevated to angels by deities, joining the faith wars.
Almost every heroic human joined the Freedom Alliance, for it offered a temptation the Old Gods could not— the chance to ignite the Divine Fire, the chance to ascend to godhood!
On the mortal battlefield, the Freedom Alliance marched forward triumphantly, and in the deities’ battlefield, the New Gods surprisingly held their ground.
Meanwhile, a brand-new profession spread across this continent.
This profession was called Qi Refiner, and Qi Refiners thrived and soon stood alongside warriors and mages as a major mainstream profession.
...............
The Romantic Sea, the vast Inner Sea of the Gods Continent, is almost linked by the Manluo Sea with the Five Great Empires, and the entire Mire Cloud Empire lies within the Mire Cloud Islands at the center of the Romantic Sea.
North shore of the Romantic Sea.
A sea of flowers, with the sunset falling, the sea breeze with a hint of salt and freshness blew in.
The sea of flowers was beautiful; it was one of the territories under the Freedom Alliance, formerly the Hanhao Empire, unaffected by the divine wars.
Zhong Heng stood amidst the sea of flowers.
Zhong Heng wore an exquisite black robe embroidered with lotus patterns, elegant and noble. His waist was adorned with a gemstone-embedded belt, shimmering softly. He wore cloud-patterned gloves, with no one beside him.
Tall and graceful, the breeze pressed down the sea of flowers, also lifting Zhong Heng’s long hair.
He suddenly waved his hand, and a table and chairs appeared before him.
"Please, esteemed guest."
Zhong Heng stretched his hand forward, inviting the other to sit.
And before Zhong Heng, a figure surprisingly formed.
He, or rather, ’He’
Appeared as if he had stepped out from an ancient Scroll, young and handsome. His smooth black hair shone brilliantly under the setting sun.
His eyes were as deep as the sea, glimmering with the light of wisdom, dressed in a simple yet elegant long robe, like a poet walking through the river of time.
He sat opposite Zhong Heng.
"Did you know I would come?"
"Of course, rumors say that outside the Five Great Pantheons, aside from some demigods, Evil Gods, and Level 3 Gods, there are other mighty deities drifting around."
"Like you, the God of Wisdom and Erudition, Utar." Zhong Heng’s face showed a faint smile, carrying an unknown meaning.
Utar remained expressionless.
He simply said, "Who are you, where do you come from, and why have you come here."
"I heard that the God of Wisdom knows everything in the world, why not divine for me."
Utar’s eyes flashed with golden light.
"It is impossible to see, something of a higher level is interfering behind you."
The words from Utar’s mouth unknowingly shifted from the common language of the Gods Continent to the common language of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm, and with just a few words, Utar understood the common language of the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm.
"Oh? Intriguing."
A slight smile appeared at Zhong Heng’s mouth.
"My name is Zhong Heng, coming from... the Jiuzhou Cultivation Realm."
"I come here, naturally, to welcome the fate of this place."
"Destiny..." These words seemed to stir something in Utar’s heart.
He remained silent for a moment, then said: "Ten thousand years ago, the God of Destiny acquired the authority to glimpse destiny."
"But in less than three months, he turned into a corpse."
"The last prophecy left in the world was that in ten thousand years, this world would face an end."
"Since then, the authority over destiny has been beyond anyone’s grasp."
"It appears, the time has come."
A trace of sorrow appeared on Utar’s face.
"I have been observing you since you entered this world."
"Although you are beings from the Outer Realm, your bloodlines aren’t so different from those of the Gods Continent’s citizens."
"It seems the outcome for the Gods Continent is much better than I imagined."
"This is also why I have always remained indifferent."
Zhong Heng did not speak, merely flicked his sleeve slightly, and a steaming cup of Spirit Tea appeared before Utar.
