Chapter 3: Gods Fall!

On Blue Star, countless people, seeing Lu Chen's weary face, felt an unprecedented loneliness.

Though immortal, he was eternally accompanied by the cold, empty void.

A single sentence—having left his homeland for a hundred thousand years and no longer remembering the way back—made everyone's eyes redden.

That sentence, "If I leave, who will guard the Galaxy Border Pass for you?" made countless Great Xia people unable to hold back tears.

And at this moment, far out in space, the Great Xia spacecraft sounded again.

"May I ask, sir, after guarding this place for a hundred thousand years, even the gods have fallen—what lies beyond the Galaxy?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the curiosity of everyone on Blue Star was aroused.

"Yes, what exactly lies beyond the Galaxy, that even the gods would fall!"

"Could it be an extraterrestrial civilization? After all, the universe is vast; giving birth to a super-civilization with highly advanced technology is not impossible."

"Impossible—no matter how powerful a civilization, could it be stronger than a god?"

"You also saw that being— in an instant it could transform into hundreds of zhang tall; our spacecraft, before it, could easily be crushed."

Everyone felt uneasy, staring at the screen, as if waiting for Lu Chen's answer.

At the Galaxy Border Pass, on the ruined continent, Lu Chen's gaze was hazy as he looked beyond the Galaxy, seeming to recall something.

"Beyond the Galaxy, there are demons."

"Demons?"

Lu Chen nodded lightly.

"Beyond the Galaxy, demons are countless; even if one is as mighty as the gods, they cannot be exterminated utterly—only a seal can be set beyond the Galaxy, ordering those who have become gods and immortals to guard this place."

"And the Great Xia Immortal Gods guarding the Galaxy Border Pass is an ancient rule."

His gaze turned to the endless star sea outside; over a hundred thousand years, he could no longer recall how many gods had died beyond the Galaxy.

Even he himself had nearly fallen.

To let those from his homeland more clearly perceive the danger beyond the Galaxy, Lu Chen flicked his sleeve, turning into a streak of light that fell into the void, and a series of images appeared before all humanity.

"When the universe was still chaotic and heaven and earth were not divided, a giant god was born on the ancestral land, wielding an axe to split heaven!"

"Thus, the universe gained sun, moon, and stars, and gods, demons, and strange creatures!"

Lu Chen spoke softly, and on that light curtain began to appear scenes of primordial chaos.

In the Great Xia livestream room, countless netizens seeing these pictures breathed rapidly.

"This… this is Pangu splitting heaven; this mythological legend is actually true!"

"Pangu's splitting of heaven gave birth to three thousand demon gods—could those demons be their descendants?"

"It's utterly unbelievable—myth has entered reality, and history will be rewritten!"

"Absurd, too absurd—how could your ancestral god possibly come from your Great Xia! All gods ought to be children of God!"

"Impossible—the world was created by God; you heretics, this must be fake!"

In the livestream room, not only were there Great Xia netizens, but also countless Westerners; seeing that the Great Xia gods had cleaved heaven and earth on the light curtain, they could not accept it.

Because in their belief, only God could create the world, and all civilization must come from the West! Everything Lu Chen displayed was undoubtedly destroying their faith! Yet no one heeded their clamor, for what was shown in the light curtain had already firmly attracted all of Great Xia's people.

"My heavens, this is actually a Qilin—so huge it could easily destroy a star!"

"That which blots out the sky and covers the earth—could it be a Kunpeng, able to effortlessly cross many light-years and roam the universe!"

"This… this is ancient Blue Star, so enormous, with terrifying demon beasts everywhere—how could humanity hope to survive compared to such beings!"

Many watched, hearts pounding; in antiquity, the land was filled with primeval demons, and humanity was as weak as an ant.

"Quick look, someone is under that Bodhi tree!" "Hiss, divine light blazes—this is the Buddha attaining the Way!"

"What is this? Someone is actually treading the heavens, and his appearance is exactly like our Great Dao Ancestor!"

"This child overturns rivers and seas, even tearing tendons and skin from flood dragons—could he be the legendary Nezha?"

"It turns out that only when the gods were born did they bless humanity's incense; our Great Xia is actually a land where gods arise!"

Many eyes shone bright; the history displayed in the great curtain was actually the manifestation of numerous Great Xia gods protecting humanity! And while many Great Xia netizens felt proud and exhilarated, countless Western netizens felt extremely distressed.

Because in the picture, that world had not a single Western god.

If this is ancient history, it shows that the Western gods came long after the Great Xia gods.

This made many Westerners unable to accept it.

"Fake, definitely fake—the Bible says God created everything, God said 'let there be light,' and only then did the world have brightness; how could Eastern gods have blessed this world!"

"I now doubt whether the Great Xia spacecraft has already left Blue Star; what we see is simply too absurd!"

Countless Westerners began to doubt, even shouting.

Because everything shown in the picture continually impacts their worldview.

"Exactly—if there are gods in the world, why do they appear only in Great Xia, while the gods of Grizzly Bear Country, Neon Country, and A San Country leave no trace?"

"Quite right—my Neon Country's Amaterasu has never appeared; this must certainly be fake!"

"Heh, just because you haven't seen it means it's fake?"

"How could our Great Xia civilization be something you can comprehend?"

In the livestream room, arguments began, the smell of gunpowder growing stronger.

Only when the picture changed again did everyone get drawn back in.

"The gods, to bless humanity, began teaching all living beings in this world; even this ancient tree could become an immortal?"

"Could it be saying that even we can cultivate?"

"Quick look, there's a shadow of a Westerner!"

In the picture, many gods began to educate sentient beings to resist those innate demon gods, which included countless uncivilized Westerners.

One by one, blond-haired, blue-eyed, they sat alongside monkeys and many beasts, listening to the gods' lectures.

Many Western gods were thus born from here.

Oh my god, the name of God Yahweh is actually given by the Eastern gods, I can't accept it!

Zeus's divine power is actually bestowed by Easterners, how could that be!

Fake, everything is fake, how dare you Eastern heretics slander God so casually, aren't you afraid of divine punishment?

Many Westerners were furious and exasperated, almost going crazy.

Meanwhile, the netizens from Great Xia in the live stream didn't argue much.

The sages of Great Xia teach without discrimination; you should be grateful.

Exactly, if it weren't for the gods of Great Xia stepping in to protect you, Westerners would have been wiped out long ago!

Still doubting true or false here, and calling for divine punishment?

I think the gods, in their anger, have almost stripped God of his divine power!

But at this very moment, the story in the picture took a turn.

Following the gods' teachings, the Western gods grew ever stronger, began to follow the Eastern deities, protected humanity, and drove countless demons beyond the Milky Way.

But at this very moment, the Western gods betrayed the Eastern gods, one Eastern deity after another began to fall! On the barrier beyond the Milky Way, a huge gap appeared, and throughout the Milky Way system, monsters and disasters ran rampant! (End of chapter)
