After being quiet for a few minutes, the Destruction God suddenly said: "Is this really the Dusk of the Gods? The End of Our Era?"
No one answered him as they do not know the answer to this question. Over their long years, they have suffered a few invasions, but nothing like this. Usually, their invaders–with the limitation of the world–are defeated by them after a few confrontations.
Additionally, these gods are usually used to the form of warfare involving head-on confrontation of two armies; they did not expect their enemies to use dirty tactics like assassination and destabilization of their power.
"Recently, I have noticed a large number of Gods in my pantheon suddenly disappeared," added the Life Goddess. "Worse, even their faith seemed to instantly vanish."
"The same thing happened to me," agreed the remaining Supreme Gods. The War Goddess clenched her teeth before saying:
"The Freedom Alliance in my domain has disappeared. I have lost my control of them."
No one said anything more. They were already aware of her decision to shield these people, and quietly acquiesce to it. After all, the gods could use these people to spread fear amongst the mortals and increase their faith.
But now, it seemed that this decision has come to hunt them in return.
"What should we do now?" asked the Water God who was the only one amongst the Five Elements Gods that survived.
"We should heal our injuries first, then prepare for the worst," said the Destiny Goddess before her projection immediately left the conference. The other gods were confused for a moment before leaving.
The Destiny Realm:
The Life Goddess showed up along with Order God and Destruction God appeared in her abode to see her.
"Mingyun, what happened? You are acting out of character," said the Life Goddess.
"We do not have much time," said the Destiny Goddess. To the surprise of the other three, as she said this, her hair slowly turned white in the process as if she had aged countless years. Although her face still looked youthful and beautiful, the other could feel that her lifespan had drastically decreased.
"What have you done?"
The Destiny Goddess did not answer her friend. As the two most powerful female Gods in this world, they have known each other for a long time; their friendship had withstood the test of time.
"As I said, we do not have much time. We must choose another Token Holder as soon as possible so that we can activate the [Guardian Protocol]. This may be our only chance at surviving through this catastrophe."
The other three remained silent for a while before the Order God said: "Who do you have in mind?"
"The Light God," replied the Destiny Goddess. "Of the remaining surviving people, he is the only one who can be trusted. Plus, if we act fast enough, there should be no problem."
The group acted immediately and secretly headed to the Light Realm. Since the 15 of the 36 Realms were now in chaos with the absence of a Supreme Gods, it became easier for their action to remain secret.
Plus, all the remaining Supreme Gods were healing their injuries as quickly as possible. Some people wanted to be at the fullest to deal with the upcoming storm, while the other greedy few wanted to take advantage of the current situation.
When it came to the 15 unoccupied realms, it was the perfect time to occupy them and gather more faith.
After arriving at their destination, the three of them rushed to the Light God's Heavenly Abode. The latter–who was already on-guard after the previous assassination–immediately noticed them.
The Light God was a middle-aged man dressed in a clean white robe laced with golden threads. A white halo floated on top of his head like an angel.
"Why are you guy here?" he asked with a frown.
"We need you to come with us," said the Destiny Goddess bluntly.
"Reason?"
The Life Goddess quickly placed her hand on the Destiny Goddess' shoulder to prevent her from saying or doing anything rash.
"We need your help to do something but we cannot say anything to prevent any information from leaking. Just know that this might be the only chance we have at saving our world."
The Light God pondered for a moment. Thinking about how he almost died during that assassination and how his opponent immediately escaped before he had time to take his revenge, anger suddenly overcame him.
He took a deep breath to calm down, then said: "Fine."
The four of them quickly left the Light Realm. While in the Space Between Realms, the other three took out a token and activated it. Not long after, the Light God found himself in a beautiful white temple that seemed to exist outside of time and space.
Although it was small, it exuded a holy and supreme aura. Without knowing it, the Light God found himself and the other Supreme Gods kneeling in front of the temple.
Immediately, the Ligh God seemed to think of something and muttered softly: "God-King?"
However, after seeing the serious attitudes of the other three, he did not ask. After kneeling on the ground for a few minutes, the aura on the temple disappeared and the four of them found themselves in a room with a tall status.
As the Light God raised his head to look at the more than 100 meters statue, he was shocked to discover that he could not see his face. From its frame and muscles, it is obvious that it is a man.
However, the Light God could not see the man's face. To be precise, he could not remember the person's face. As long as he blinks, he will instantly forget the person's face.
And as long as he stares for too long, the face will become blurry and he will also forget.
"There is no need to try, you will not succeed," said the Order God, who preceded to take out a token. The other two followed him. The three tokens floated on top of the statue.
A white light came from the token and began to scan the Light God. A few mutes later, a fourth token appeared and entered his Sea of Consciousness. Countless bans appeared on his soul follow by many information.
As the Destiny Goddess watched the Light God digest the information he just received, she sights softly in relief.
'Hopefully, this is enough to save me and this world.'
Death Realm:
Li Jun and the group was monitoring everything with a formation in front of them. Li Jun suddenly asked Wang Ju:
"Did you find something?" He noticed the frown on her face.
"Maybe," she muttered. "All the Supreme Gods–except for the Life Goddess, the Destiny Goddess, and the Order God, and the Destruction God–had some sort of injury after our attack.
"Based on the spy we have, we know that all of them immediately locked themselves in their main temple to heal. The three exceptions did the same. The question is why?
"Why did they enter seclusion when they were not even injured?"
"So, you suspect that they are planning something? Well, it is logical since they cannot watch us slowly destroy everything they hold dear," replied Li Jun. "Let's observe for a while before making our next move. Anyway, the current situation is in our favor."
A few months passed.
The group continued to watch the chaos of the 35 realms. Under their support, the Freedom Alliance became more powerful as they used the Devil Scripture to swallow more Gods.
On top of that, the people who secretly receive cultivation techniques also began to grow rapidly through attacking and swallowing other gods.
Today, Li Jun called the other people for a meeting.
"Why are you calling us?" asked Tie Gang.
"I need you to prepare. We are going to attack the Destiny Realm."
Tie Gang immediately became excited, while Yan Liling frowned:
"Isn't this a little rush? The current situation is to our advantage. We can slowly wear out the other Supreme Gods before we attack them."
"Normally. That would be the case. However, the devil nature of the scripture has begun to affect the people of the Alliance and the New Gods. They have begun to kill each other to swallow the other's powers."
"So soon?" said Yan Liling. According to their plans, this would not be an issue until much later on. Then, they would use special pills that could alleviate these symptoms to control these people.
"Yes. More importantly, I have a whim that something is wrong. If we do not act as fast as possible, there might be other variables–most likely coming from these three Supreme Gods."
The group quickly came to a decision and began to prepare. Once everything was done, they used a Transmission Array to secretly enter the Destiny Realm.
Unfortunately, as soon as they arrived, 20 gigantic palms descended from the sky–each of them powered by Law.
