Chapter 1456: The World-Destroying Flood
[And almost within a few hours of you falling asleep, hundreds of meteors streaked across the sky you had just created, falling into this currently desolate world.]
【The Gods have arrived! 】
[Most of these gods are in a similar situation to you, their divinity is exhausted or semi-exhausted, and some weak gods have even seen their levels drop significantly.]
The weakened gods chose to lie dormant the moment they landed. They weren't reckless, and knew how to assess the situation. However, some gods remained relatively intact, and after a brief observation, they immediately began creating new races of mythical creatures, and began to fight each other for their faith.
[In future mythological records, all these foreign gods will be collectively referred to as ancient gods.]
【Thus, the first era of chaos began.】
In this era, a great deal of authority lies vacant, waiting to be acquired and elevated. For God, this is both the best of times and the worst of times.
Authority possesses certain qualities of exclusivity and aggregation. The more dispersed the authority, the less power each deity possesses. The more concentrated it is, the greater the power. In this context, the struggle for faith and powerful authority is almost ubiquitous.
From November 3223 to April 11, the world's population grew rapidly. During this period, gods could still walk the earth, and mythical creatures were commonplace. In other words, only true miracles and absolute power could earn the faith of mythical creatures. Gods constantly fell, and mythical creatures constantly ignited the divine fire.
For a long time to come, the three primordial goddesses demonstrated considerable power. The Sun Goddess combined the three powers of light, shadow, and time into one, capable of controlling the dead to a certain extent and possessing the artifact "Genesis" in the realm of destiny. She was also the first pope of the Creation God Cult. The Moon Goddess was a master of night, dreams, weather, and weaponry, and was the chief deity of all elves. The Life Goddess possessed powerful authority over life, nature, and destiny.
[They also displayed a certain degree of scheming. As newborn gods, their power was at the top of the list, but not the strongest. Instead, they were heavily targeted due to the origin of their own world.]
Yet, you repeatedly relied on your strategies to defeat gods more powerful than yourself, repelling sieges. Even under heavy attack, you managed to obtain a portion of the world's essence, strengthening yourself. Faith in you lingered in the hearts of the creatures who witnessed the miracle of creation, spreading widely through battle after battle. This provided a solid anchor for your awakening.
[But it's worth noting that at this point, your faith doesn't hold any advantage. The Sea God has taken over the ocean, commanding countless marine creatures to submit to him. The God of Disaster, originally a giant wolf, created the werewolf race. Their terrifying reproductive prowess has garnered widespread faith, making them one of the most powerful of the ancient gods. They are also the Cult of Creation's greatest current enemy.]
[In addition, among the ancient gods there are the God of Knowledge, the God of War, and countless other powerful deities... Even the dragon race has its own main god. He is the first dragon you created, and he obeys you according to the faith engraved in his blood.]
Dragons, elves, and the three primordial goddesses essentially constitute the entire power of the Creation Cult of this era. The giants' beliefs have partially shifted.
However, with the rise of other ancient gods and the various affiliations of the remaining world origins, even the most solid beliefs gradually shifted, and the Creation God Cult's advantages were almost completely wiped out.
[It was at this time that a line of text appeared in the long-forgotten Book of Genesis: On April 3729, 4, God finally woke from his deep sleep, and the whole world sang praises to Him.]
At this moment, a divine war was taking place somewhere, with numerous mythical creatures participating. The God of Knowledge, the God of Disaster, and numerous ancient gods were waging a power struggle against the Sun Goddess. Suddenly, the surrounding trees, flowers, and rocks all uttered joyful sounds, singing a song of praise. Lightning, strong winds, waves, and torrential rain consecrated an incomparably magnificent palace in mid-air. Within it, magnificent buildings appeared, and sacred figures loomed one after another.
['Heaven' and the peak creation god have returned from the end of the long river of fate.]
You are already the most powerful of the gods, possessing the essence of the world and receiving its feedback. After centuries of slumber and digestion, you are now so powerful that even you are a little afraid. But even you have somewhat overlooked that your divinity has now taken over 100%.
[Amidst the ethereal hymns, golden, illusory angels with four faces and four wings flew down from heaven. These were the powerful beings you had visualized in your dreams, and you officially appeared as the savior of this world.]
“I am the way, I am the ladder, I am the life, I am the resurrection, I am the light of the world!”
[Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, an illusory sun leaps from your head, twelve pairs of golden holy wings slowly unfolding. The sun, moon, and stars surround your body. Everyone present, especially the mythical creatures you created, whoever stands in the opposite direction, feels their lives rapidly slipping away, and in the blink of an eye, they reach the end.]
Everything has divinity. It's just that this divinity was left in the subconscious ocean of mythical creatures when you created them. This is also your greatest backup.
The God of Knowledge always had the clearest view of the situation. Upon sensing your power, he immediately tried to escape, but soon, as you pointed your finger forward, a wave of powerful divine energy surged towards them.
[This is a flood that can both create and destroy the world! It is also a magical attack that has no blind spots and is almost impossible to avoid.]
Almost all of the ancient gods present were swept up in the flood, suffering from multiple divine shocks one after another, and then being scorched by the sun. A large number of ancient gods instantly became floating corpses in the flood.
[Followed by this, you did not intentionally control the scale and scope of the flood, allowing it to sweep away everything around it, ravaging and cleansing the entire world.]
The devastating flood lasted for seven full days. During this time, all who believed in you were saved. The God of Knowledge and the God of Disaster were the first to bear the brunt of the disaster, perishing instantly. Numerous divine powers floated in the floodwaters, and no one dared to collect even the fallen World Origin. The scene was incredibly shocking. This was the largest divine war in the world, and it also ended the fastest.
In the hands of the Sun Goddess, another line of text appeared on the Book of Genesis: April 3729, 4 - April 18, 3729. The Gods, believing that blasphemers were beyond redemption, decided to cleanse the world with a flood. During this process, all those who believed in and praised the Gods were spared.
Zhou Ning couldn't help but twitch his lips as he read this. He was now increasingly certain that this was the creator god from Tianqi. And the Genesis he held was the same copy he had in his hands. Was this also part of his cosplay? So that's how the apocalyptic flood in Genesis came about?
