A journey of survival starting from Zhetian

Chapter 406: The "Mother Goddess" Watching the Earth

The changes in the Earth's barrier instantly attracted the close attention of all the Old Ones wandering in the solar system.

In just a short moment, countless indescribable gazes were cast on this "original" barrier, as if they wanted to carefully study why something that had just produced fluctuations and faint cracks seemed to have become intact again in an instant.

Among them, the Super Star Overlord was the most direct. Out of curiosity, he stretched out his hand and took out a deep blue neutron star with a mass about 2.15 times that of the sun from the neighboring Andromeda Galaxy, and pressed it towards the "original" barrier.

"boom!"

The next moment, the entire neutron star experienced violent stellar vibrations. The outer shell of the star collapsed directly, and terrifying energy was violently released from the core of the star. The brightness at least 100,000 times brighter than that of the sun instantly rose from the outer layer of the "initial" barrier.

In just a blink of an eye, the neutron star underwent gravitational redshift, turning from its original deep blue like the sea to deep red like dripping blood. The neutrons, electrons, protons, K mesons and other substances hidden deep inside the neutron star were squeezed by enormous pressure, and terrifying high-speed jets appeared instantly.

A gamma-ray burst with an energy intensity of over 3.76 times one trillion trillion erg erupted. The extremely intense energy was forcibly restrained by the superstar master. The extreme movement of matter immediately formed extremely high-intensity stress wave radiation. Under the continued influence of authority, extremely significant space-time distortion occurred, and immeasurable tension was attached to the "original" barrier.

"Tear."

The terrible tearing force and huge amount of energy continued to impact from the outside, causing the barrier that had already been stabilized to be shaken again, making every angel on the earth who was paying attention to the situation frightened.

Because if the righteous gods fail to defend themselves against this level of power, even a tiny bit of it would be enough to cleanse the surface of the earth. If there is just a little more, the earth might be blown up by the powerful energy.

Fortunately, it was only the beginning of the Fifth Era, and the integrity of the barrier had not completely collapsed. After the "original" barrier was rebuilt by "Xuan Jun", the defensive capability was indeed greatly improved.

In addition, with the stellar-level rituals composed of ten divine kingdoms, even though the barrier was constantly shaken by the tension of space-time distortion and the impact of gamma-ray bursts, it still held up firmly.

However, when the Super Star Overlord finished his test, the four Old Ones, Eternal Whisper, Decayed King, Overlooker, and Ring of Destiny, instantly used their own authority, and tens of thousands of different underlying rules and underlying logics in the universe were pried open.

In just a moment, the unpredictable dimension collapsed from the unknown, forming a series of deep space murmurs without specific meaning. The silent whispers told of a decadent future, and the deep horror constituted a fate of continuous reincarnation. From the beginning to the end, there was no stopping and no way to transcend, and in the end, only a dark void remained.

This is a mysterious phenomenon in the universe that even the true gods cannot observe. With the combined efforts of the four Old Ones, it descended beyond the "original" barrier.

"squeak"

The "original" barrier began to vibrate wildly, and the sound of glass friction and shattering that had just occurred not long ago rang out again. The huge pressure was transferred from the barrier to the ten divine realms in an instant, causing the expressions of every true god to change to varying degrees.

The profound authority drives the underlying rules and logic of the universe, and infiltrates every kingdom of God in a way that is difficult for them to guess, distorting everything within it, weaving an absolutely empty future, and destroying the meaning of the existence of all things.

The intense pain and madness that penetrated the sea of ​​subconsciousness rapidly corroded the spiritual bodies of every true god. It scattered from the starry sky with empty pollution, wantonly corroding those who had originally been stable. The loss of control and distortion that had not been experienced for a long time gradually appeared in the bodies of every sequence zero.

The authority of the true gods was flashing, and they tried to use rituals to expel the horrific pollution, but despite their best efforts, they could only barely resist this erosion, and as time went by, the defenses they had built were gradually collapsing and turning into a meaningless dark void.

Just when many true gods were about to be unable to hold on, causing small holes to appear in the barrier, the "knowledge" authority of the Old Ones level arose within the kingdom of God at the core of the ritual and was integrated into the "original" barrier, forcing all excessive impacts to be low-dimensionally informatized, and accepting the joint test of the four Old Ones outside the earth.

The God of the Demonic Network, who had just accommodated the [Knowledge Wilderness] and successfully promoted himself to the new Demon of Knowledge, took action.

With the authority of "knowledge" at the old level and the terrifying background left by "Xuan Jun", he resolved many of the old tentative attacks outside the barrier, like a new barrier guarding this place, preventing any foreign god from bringing his own consciousness, authority and symbols into the interior of the earth.

In a kingdom of God that reflected nine nearly pure black pyramids, Huang Tao collapsed directly on the throne, gasping for breath. He did not even deal with the many deformations that emerged from his body and the old pollution that lingered in his spirit body immediately.

After a long while, when his almost exhausted spiritual power recovered a little, he slowly used his own authority of "order" and "law", and with the help of the power of the ritual, he slowly cleared out the remnants of the old days in his body and restored his body that was almost broken to the point of losing its human appearance.

It was not until his injuries were in a positive recovery state and no longer needed to be paid too much attention that he was able to recall the collision with the four Old Ones just now. "Why is the power of the Old Ones so terrifying? This is completely not in the same dimension as the True God of Sequence Zero."

"This is not only a huge gap in size between Sequence Zero and the Old Ones, but also a terrifying difference in authority, symbolism, concepts, and consciousness."

"If we only rely on the 'Original' barrier without the stellar-level ritual left by 'Xuanjun', let alone resisting the combined attack of the four Old Ones including the Unextinguished Whisper, even the initial attack of the Super Star Lord is enough to injure many True Gods. It is impossible for them to withstand it unscathed."

"How did the 'Xuan Jun' use the authority and symbol of the True God to block the 'Mother Goddess' and many of the Old Ones outside the barrier?"

Huang Tao was filled with doubts. He thought of one possibility after another, but he ruled them out. In the end, he could only be sure that "Xuan Jun" might have reached the level of the pillars of the universe in some aspects, and even surpassed the pillars in some aspects.

At this moment, as if he had realized something, he cast his gaze towards the astral ritual that was constantly running outside his kingdom of God. Looking at the three-dimensional runes that were constantly running throughout the earth's reality, the spiritual world, and the astral world, an incredible emotion quickly spread in his heart.

He possesses the knowledge inheritance of "Xuan Jun". Even though he has not yet fully inherited all the knowledge, he can now understand some of the three-dimensional runes and some of the operating rules and logic of this astral-level ritual.

But even so, Huang Tao felt even more incredible.

Because in this astral ritual, the authority and symbols of the old days are countless, but the most fundamental core of these things is actually a series of mystical rituals that any angel can arrange through their own spirituality. They are like the most basic components, starting from the bottom, using a similar way to building blocks, on the basis of the "original" barrier, and then building a "protective shield" that is magnificent enough to protect the earth.

Huang Tao looked at the vaguely visible three-dimensional runes in a daze, and whispered to himself, "I have been receiving the knowledge inheritance from 'Xuan Jun' for so long, but it seems that I only now understand that 'runes' are the most core part of this 'fellow villager's' knowledge system."

"Using 'runes' to express concepts, using 'runes' to guide symbols, and making 'runes' an independent authority. This is thinking of using 'runes' as 'tools' to explain the universe. Wait, why does this concept sound familiar to me?"

Suddenly, Huang Tao's expression changed slightly. He remembered the first sentence of the name of this "fellow villager".

"The Immortal Lord who has penetrated the past years."

"Immortal Venerable."

Huang Tao clapped his hands, his face showing a hint of excitement and confusion.

"Using 'runes' to explain the universe, in other words, isn't this using 'runes' to explain 'the Way of Heaven'?"

"Could this 'fellow villager' really be going to cultivate immortality? Aren't the extraordinary beings in reality similar to Cthulhu? How come something like cultivating immortality, which doesn't fit the style of painting, suddenly appeared? But why do I feel that 'Xuan Jun' really went to cultivate immortality?"

"The characteristics of the 'immortal' in the legend seem to be 'outside the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements'. And the current 'Xuan Jun' seems to be neither in reality, the spirit world, nor the star world. At least, I haven't found his current whereabouts in the 'Three Realms'."

"'Xuan Jun', he wouldn't really have 'become an immortal', right?"

Just as Huang Tao suppressed his speculation about "Xuan Jun" in his mind and concentrated on recovering from his injuries, the [Source Castle], which had been motionless for a long time above the spiritual world, suddenly sank and descended into the spiritual world.

A terrifying spiritual wave was set off under the influence of this source, and countless underlying rules and underlying logics originating from the spiritual world were subtly shifted. This inexplicable change caused the expression of the true God who had now elevated the Kingdom of God into the astral realm and integrated it into the "original" barrier to change.

Now the only one Old One and the nine True Gods on Earth all need to face the Outer Gods outside the barrier, and they can't be distracted to deal with the changes caused by [Source Castle]. For example, when Huang Tao just fell from [Source Castle], a True God personally spied on the subconscious sea of ​​creatures. It is no longer possible to deal with the hidden dangers as much as possible.

The "Tianzun" seemed to have seized the perfect opportunity, as now was a time when many righteous gods were unable to cope with the situation. Many righteous gods realized that the plan of this pillar of the universe had now been largely successful, as if it was just waiting for the arrival of a critical time node in the future.

"boom!"

The Old Ones outside the barrier, which had originally stopped attacking, once again used their own authority, mobilizing symbols and concepts in the universe, and continuously bombarded the originally vibrating "protective shield".

Obviously, the movements of [Source Castle] have been seen by them. Many of the old days wandering in the solar system now understand that the back-up plan of "Tianzun" suspected to be resurrected is about to appear, and that strange pillar may open the coffin at any time and re-enter the universe.

As the many old days who least wanted the "Tianzun" to be resurrected, they were no longer testing him. The authority that was constantly roaring around the indescribable existences at this moment already represented the attitude of these foreign gods.

Their main goal at the moment is to break the barrier of the earth, let their own authority and symbols descend inside, and firmly hold down the coffin lid of "Tianzun".

Although they hated "Tianzun", one of the "original" personalities, they still had "God" and "Mother Goddess" to check and balance him, so it was not really difficult to resist this pillar of the universe and make the entire universe his back garden for entertainment.

But when he was resurrected for the second time after the "initial" gathering and splitting, it was unknown what this "Tianzun" gained from it. In a state where his symbols and authority were incomplete, he was able to fight against many of the Old Days and the two pillars, and even had the upper hand at one point in the process, and almost wiped out a bunch of the Old Days.

This terrifying dominance has made all the old people who still have reason no longer want to see this "Heavenly Lord". Therefore, under the pressure of this "original" personality, the wills of all the old people have reached an amazing unity in a certain aspect in just a short moment.

As for the rest of the source matter inside the earth? That will be dealt with after "Tianzun" is dealt with.

"boom!"

The double-digit attack from the Old Ones directly caused the "original" barrier protecting the earth to shake violently. Even the God of the Demonic Net, who had been promoted to the Old Ones, felt an extremely heavy pressure from this terrifying force, which made his mind tense.

Today, relying on the ritual that is always running, and with the support of an Old One and multiple Sequence Zeros, the "original" barrier that has not weakened to the point where its basic structure cannot be maintained can still maintain a high-intensity defense capability and fully resist the invasion of the Outer Gods.

But how long this can last, the God of Demon Net cannot judge, because the pillar of the universe that is still alive, the "Mother Goddess" sitting cross-legged on the moon, did not attack as crazily as in the past.

He is now quietly hovering somewhere on the moon, as if some profound changes have taken place, silently watching the earth with an almost outsider attitude.

After a few hours passed, a golden light that seemed immortal flashed from the eyes of the "Mother Goddess", and the gloomy destruction carried the breath of doomsday, floating beside Her vaguely.

Looking at the ceremony going on on Earth, he whispered to himself with a hint of doubt, which echoed in the empty sky above the moon.

"Array."
