CHAPTER 46: CHAPTER 44: THE WHISPERS OF THE EVIL GOD

Early morning.

After the bell tolled, the entire forest returned to silence.

From the perspective of an ant, this world is considerably dangerous and vast.

The tree tops, ground, and underground caves form a three-dimensional structure extending habitable land, dense forest, and flowing valleys. The gods have created a mess of bizarre insects, mite-sized creatures crawling on the ground, like a dangerous tropical rainforest, serving as the most primitive and cruel ecological testing ground.

And in the distance.

The towering World Tree shaded the sky above, its robust branches forming roads, leaves becoming massive platforms where countless elves lived.

Fresh air and floral fragrances pervasive, it’s like a paradise.

On the Elf Tree, there are more, green pea-sized, fresh, peach-shaped fruits nurturing babies, and in some visible fruits, as they bloom, exquisite and lovely elf babies appear in the flower center, as if born on a lotus platform.

Sizzle!

Elis quietly approached in the dark.

A spider suddenly spun silk, snagged a fruit, and then silently retreated, like the most acute assassin in nature, hunting without a sound.

The elf fruits on the World Tree are the best food.

But the Elf Race’s archers are incredibly terrifying, hunting intruders in their homeland. Their poisoned weapons are nearly impossible to withstand.

If not for the elves lacking ambition and creativity—lazy and stagnant, like plants—the races created by the gods below would have been exterminated by them.

Avoiding the Elf Race’s defenses and stealing the fruit, Elis cautiously descended the tree, continuing to hide while researching the gods’ legacy.

It discovered that after absorbing the god’s structure, it gained a slight telekinesis and consciousness wave.

But much weaker than a god.

After all, it equaled obtaining a god’s single-cell intelligence, just like the initial stage of the gods in the past.

Furthermore, it ravenously read the experimentation records left by the Spider God on the Divine Treasure Artifact.

It gradually found itself possessing quite the talent in this area.

Even more talented than the Spider God who created it, which made it both excited and thrilled, no longer holding absolute reverence for the heavens’ gods.

So, after the bell resounded, it studied for three or four days, further mastering the god’s structure, even utilizing the computational power of the Divine Treasure Artifact for assistance.

It successfully built its own laboratory in secret, creating cell bottles, hiding its painstakingly compiled genetic fragments inside, attempting creation.

"I did it! I’ve integrated the Spider God’s knowledge to create new spider life!"

At this moment, it felt as though it had opened the forbidden zone’s gate, possessing god-like authority.

Then, a voice reverberated inside its body, terrifying it:

"I’ve been watching you for days now."

"Little one, creating life, it’s fascinating, isn’t it?"

Hearing the voice in its mind, Elis trembled all over, as if its deepest secret had been peered into. "Who! Who’s in my brain? Is it Lord Kara from the Spider God incident?"

"I guessed such a terrible lifeform as a god might still retain consciousness!"

"But I obviously had tried every method, soaked the cell in water, exposed it under light, yet after absorption, it still got..."

Li Qing was slightly surprised, this operation seemed familiar.

Elis suddenly said, "No, you’re not Lord Kara from the Spider God incident, not the residual consciousness! You’re from another place!"

"Why do you say that?" the voice suddenly chuckled.

"That time, Kara was a frenetic person, impossible to be so calm!" Elis said, "Are you some of the Tree Gods?"

"That kind of little creature who hasn’t even stepped out of the world, not even involved in the laws of truth, is called a god?" the voice carried a trace of mockery.

Elis listened to the response, a thought of fear arose.

Could it be from beyond this world??

After all, even the gods had to worship that vast figure.

This spider silently prostrated on the ground, as if in worship, cautiously saying, "Then could you be the Giant God from Outer Heaven??"

Li Qing’s voice was low, "Kid! I am indeed a god from farther away, discovering one god already shelters this world, I came a little late, there is already dominion in this world, but in front of me, I merely wish to bring some fun to this world..."

Elis trembled slightly.

This was a war of Outer Gods beyond this world!

It seemed to see the power far surpassing the Tree Gods.

Beyond that translucent Crystal Wall, within endless chaos, lay boundless mysterious worlds, and mighty Giant Gods clasping world marbles.

"Should I guide Your descent?"

Elis trembled.

After all, a god’s power was too immense.

To descend and traverse to this small world required an extremely complex ritual, so that life on the ground could welcome it, to let a sliver of will descend.

The Light Church’s Holy Dragon was an existence that walked among humans.

And now, I must become this mysterious Outer God’s earthly representative, an existence like the Holy Dragon? To welcome another god?

Other gods are coveting this world!

"Kid, do you want power?" That voice came, simple and straightforward.

"I... I think, I can manage on my own..." Elis dared not outright refuse, but it felt embroiled in this would be a death trap.

"Foolish! Do you know what the amusing new human king, Herodotus, once said?"

"Fear is the emotion furthest from the truth."

"You are progressing, but the heavenly gods progress even faster than you, kid!" The voice whispered devilishly in its ear, "Listen, now the heavens speak again."

Suddenly a voice came again in the sky.

On the World Tree.

"I, Herodotus, King of the Gods, lead the gods to create the second protagonist, Human Race."

Human Race??

The entire earth, all races, were already plunged into shock.

Most races were incomplete and not strong; there was no doubt the strongest race on the ground, favored by the gods, was the Elf Race.

And now Herodotus finally, with the gods, completed a new feat, was another era’s protagonist about to appear on earth??

Human Race?

What kind of race is it?

How powerful?

Everyone held their breath.

And in the cave.

Elis also felt urgency!

"See, how can you catch up with the gods?"

The voice did not hide its intention, mocking, "The creations of the Tree Gods are growing stronger, you might soon be unable to even fight the Human Race, soon you’ll be discovered stealing the divine power, and executed."

"I..." Elis fell silent.

"Build an altar, welcome my descent, believe in me! I shall grant you the power of thunderbolt."

The voice suddenly whispered.

The ubiquitous fear of the unknown enveloped Elis, causing it to be overwhelmed:

"Become my earthly envoy in this world, secretly establish an altar for me, open a world passage, let another world descend upon this one!"

"Let the endless mountains of flesh devour this tattered world! Let this world realize the fear of thunderbolt."

"Let this world obey, or be forever destroyed!"

Calmly the voice carried endless frenzy, as though the Abyss was staring within, filling its mind with terror.

"Great God, can I think about it?" Elis couldn’t help but say nervously, this shock was too immense for it.

"Little one, believe in me, and gain my power. Stir up turmoil in this world, with even the chance to challenge the King of the Gods, Herodotus." Li Qing stirred things up and left.

He thought this a bit trashy, just crowned someone, then turned to incite rebellion against them... hopefully, this little spider might give him some surprises.

And the world passage, opening the Otherworld, what is it?

It’s drilling a hole in the wall, connecting the adjacent room—Otherworld.

The adjacent room is an intriguing world environment.

Just perfect to expand this cramped single room’s area, allowing them to enjoy a wider sandbox land.

But such a senseless breakthrough, lacks ceremony.

Hence, seeking an inside collaborator to build an altar, ceremonially welcoming an Outer God’s descent, and ushering an Otherworld attack, isn’t it interesting?

Competition leads to progress.

No matter what, let this world surge with undercurrents.
