Chapter 160: The Forebears' Sacrifice, The Gods' Ritual

The astronauts aboard the various nations' space stations were horrified, their eyes fixed and staring.

"That's Egypt!"

"That's Rome!"

"That's… Greece!"

Because they were positioned outside Earth, the astronauts, like gods looking down, saw clearly which parts of the Earth were undergoing strange changes.

They saw that in Egypt, where the Earth lay, divine light shot into the heavens.

At the same time.

Africa, Egypt.

Egypt, one of the four great ancient civilizations, possessed a deep and ancient culture, with many ancient ruins and structures passed down, attracting tens of thousands of history enthusiasts and tourists each year for sightseeing.

Boom!

The thunderous sounds shook the heavens, and the history enthusiasts and tourists who had come to visit today were deeply moved, their faces turning pale with shock.

They saw dazzling golden light burst forth from the Sphinx, ancient Egyptian painted stone slabs, the Jin Zita, and other ruins and structures rich in ancient Egyptian mythology, shooting into the sky.

The light was golden, like fireworks rising into the air, exploding across the firmament, scattering divine radiance like golden sand, filling the sky as if a rain of gold were falling from above.

The firmament grew hazy, tinged with shimmering gold.

The next moment.

Whether history enthusiasts or tourists, everyone had a sudden sense of hallucination, yet upon closer inspection, it was not a hallucination.

Faintly, in the hazy firmament, amid the falling golden sand, ancient visions appeared.

In the sky, countless figures moved about—men either bare-chested or wearing simple ancient Egyptian garments, women with waist-length hair dressed in ancient Egyptian attire.

There were so many of them, a sea of people, densely packed, nearly filling the firmament, all walking toward one place, holding various offerings in their hands—cattle, sheep, horses, fruits, cloth, jade objects, and more.

Every face showed devotion, without exception.

"These are the ancient Egyptian forebears!" a history enthusiast cried out, recognizing the strange sight in the sky.

That was the forebears of old performing a sacrifice—a divine ritual!

The golden-sand vision shifted.

A temple as sacred as a pyramid appeared, towering and solemn, radiating divine brilliance, gleaming steadily, rivaling the great sun in the heavens of this vision-world.

A great sun in the sky, a palace below blazing like a divine sun—each answering the other.

At this moment, the worshipping ancient Egyptian forebears appeared, streaming in from all directions, devout and reverent, raising their offerings high above their heads as they made their way toward the Sun Palace.

They gathered before the palace.

Countless forebears knelt, bowing toward the palace.

At this moment, everyone saw clearly that the forebears were worshipping the palace—and even more, the figure seated upon the sole supreme divine throne within it.

That figure, supreme above all, every gesture brimming with divinity, the misty divine light rising from its body illuminating the palace, flooding this stretch of heaven and earth with boundless radiance, making all things bloom and wither.

At the same time, everyone also saw the figure's face clearly.

The supreme figure had the head of an eagle and the body of a man; atop its head sat a solar disk, with a serpent coiled upon it. The solar disk shone like a great sun, its radiance making the palace blaze like a divine sun, answering the great sun in the sky.

"Ra!"

He was Ra, the oldest and most important god in Egyptian mythology, the sun god of ancient Egypt!

His existence represented the supreme of Egyptian mythology!

Needless to say the ancient Egyptian forebears in the vision worshipped him—at this moment, everyone now in Egypt, whether Egyptian or tourist, had to prostrate themselves in worship.

As golden sand fell and the visions kept changing, the forebears of old performed their sacrifice, and the oldest Egyptian god Ra appeared, followed by vision after vision symbolizing the Egyptian gods.

People also saw these Egyptian gods.

The earth god Geb, the sky goddess Nut, the god of the underworld and agriculture Osiris, the god of war and desert storms Set… and the Egyptian god best known in today's world, the god of death Anubis.

At the same time Egypt showed visions, far beyond Africa, in Europe, visions also appeared.

Europe, Greece.

Ancient ruins symbolizing Greek mythology—the Temple of Zeus at Olympia and other ancient Greek temple structures—gave rise to divine light.

At this moment.

Under the horrified, awed gazes of many, the broken, time-worn ancient Greek temples, after ages of weathering, were bathed in eternal divine light, gushing forth like a spring, pouring down like reversed thunder.

Then, as if time were rewinding, the ruined ancient Greek temples rose like carp leaping upright, countless broken tiles and stones flying back to their original places. In the span of a few blinks, the ruined temples returned to their former glory.

The temple's stone pillars stood tall, white and holy, upholding this stretch of time, upholding this stretch of antiquity, upholding this sacred ground of the gods.

Through the long ages, the ancient Greek temples returned to their glory.

Solemn, reverent, holy…

Also at this moment, ancient Greek ruins scattered across every corner of Greece shot out beams of light one after another, converging above central Greece, coalescing into a faintly visible divine mountain.

Seeing this, people instantly understood.

This was the dwelling place of the Greek gods—Mount Olympus!

Because, before the divine mountain fully coalesced, people saw one ancient deity after another appear.

As if time were reshaping itself, recalling the past—from the primordial to the ancient, from the ancient to the present—the ancient deities appeared in succession.

As the ages shifted, the visions moved on, arriving at an ancient era.

Here, peaks rose in layers, the land stretched vast, the breath of antiquity filled the air, towering mountains stood majestic, the rivers and mountains were eternal as heaven and earth, the Dahe surged, its waves seeming strong enough to wash away the very stars.

"The Twelve Titans!"

Among them, people noticed that in this era, twelve deities appeared upon the vast land.

These twelve deities were immense, their bodies taller than mountains; merely standing upright and raising their hands, they could pluck the stars from the sky. A single breath from them whipped the land into raging winds, summoning storms and floods.

They were like twelve divine pillars standing between heaven and earth, upholding this realm, governing all living things.

Before people could linger and gaze upon the twelve Titan gods, the vision shifted in an instant to the next age.

In this era, the twelve Titan gods roared to the heavens, bellowing into the vast depths of the cosmos, their voices shaking the stars and splitting the Milky Way.

Shanhe itself was about to be turned upside down; the sun and moon were about to be overturned.

No one knew why the twelve Titan gods had grown angry, why they had roared.

All that was known was that the twelve Titans, like those of the previous era and the distant primordial first-generation Greek gods, had risen from the earth and stepped into the depths of the cosmos, never to return again—and thus became the masters of this world, the second-generation gods.

Now, as if time had repeated its cycle—an era, a cycle—but it was not true reincarnation, merely the twelve Titan gods doing the same thing once more.

"Where did they go?"

Someone stared at the image, their blood pulsing within them.

No one answered.
