Chapter 228: Dragon!

Uneasy.

Impossible to be at peace.

Hundreds of millions fell silent in terror; even the Nether-Eroded beings trembled, clearly having seen what humans saw.

Including those of the King Realm, the Nether-Eroded beings shook like sieves.

What kind of world is this!!

Beings as powerful as legendary realms were simply killed, yet these beings were merely minor players in this great war—far stronger entities existed, not just one, but many, many.

It felt like a dream, absurd, like a frog at the bottom of a well.

We once believed legendary realms were the strongest; even if not the absolute peak in this world, they were certainly not weak. But we were wildly wrong—many beings in this world surpassed legendary realms, and above them lay many more realms, at least five or six.

Too powerful.

The ancient gods nailed down and slaughtered were so mighty that not a shred of resistance stirred in them; facing death was less terrifying than facing these ancient gods.

Yet even these mighty ancient gods were dead.

King Realm beings trembled in fear; the image of ancient gods being surrounded and slaughtered by other mythological deities haunted them, relentless. He regretted it—why had he ever wished to come to this world? This was not a world they could dwell in.

King Realm beings crawled on the ground; legendary realms were mere minor leaders. Who could imagine how many gods and demons this world held? Ten thousand? Far more than that.

"Are those the gods of ancient Babylonian mythology?" asked Director Takahashi, his gaze stunned.

Professor Zhongtian nodded with difficulty; the violent imagery left him parched and feverish.

It was not just Professor Zhongtian and his group whose emotions were shaken—everyone was the same.

The return of the gods was not universal; some mythologies' deities had not returned.

We once assumed the missing mythologies were because their deities had all perished on the First Battlefield, hence their absence.

Now it seemed things were not so simple—the missing mythologies were not necessarily all destroyed on the First Battlefield.

For example… ancient Babylonian mythology.

Though each person saw different scenes, all without exception depicted Babylonian deities besieged by multiple mythologies, a grand war spanning many worlds.

"Ancient Babylon was too powerful."

Someone swallowed hard, his throat like a burning coal, speaking dryly.

In the war, ancient Babylonian mythology was besieged, fighting fiercely, but not instantly wiped out; facing the combined assault of multiple mythologies, Babylonian mythology did not fall into serious disadvantage.

One mythology against many.

"Many" here meant double digits.

One could imagine how immensely powerful ancient Babylonian mythology was—truly a king among mythologies.

"The Four Ancient Civilizations."

Online, many netizens typed this phrase; instantly, many were jolted.

The horror of ancient Babylonian mythology was seen by countless eyes; the terror of Chinese mythology was known since the gods' return—both were so powerful they moved even the gods to awe, and both were among the Four Ancient Civilizations.

Ancient Babylon, ancient Egypt, China, ancient India—these were the Four Ancient Civilizations.

If all four were ancient civilizations, all possessed immensely powerful mythologies, could it be… that the true origin of the Four Ancient Civilizations was not history—or at least, history was only part of it?

The reason these four could be called the Four Ancient Civilizations was because their mythologies were powerful—so much more powerful than any other mythology—that they endured unbroken through ancient ages, passing down long histories.

At this moment, countless people were horrified, realizing a possibility.

Was the fall of ancient Babylon due to the fall of its mythology?

"What crime did the gods of ancient Babylon commit to deserve annihilation?"

Professor Beishan's aged, dim eyes burned with intense curiosity.

A mythology so terrifying that any other mythology faced only instant annihilation—yet it vanished into the ages, besieged and destroyed by multiple mythologies. Why?

Because it was too powerful?

"A tall tree invites the wind's wrath"—this truth was known to all.

But the truth did not feel so simple—it could not be this straightforward.

The phenomena accompanying the return of Greek mythology's deities were already known; the First Battlefield had existed since an extremely ancient era, nearly spanning all mythologies' histories.

Some had seen that during the siege of ancient Babylonian mythology, the first-generation Greek deity Gaia and others had participated.

It was widely known that the First Battlefield had existed since the time of the first-generation Greek deities.

In other words.

When ancient Babylonian mythology was besieged, the First Battlefield already existed.

The First Battlefield—the enemy of all gods, a war spanning mythological ages—ancient Babylonian mythology, so powerful it equaled multiple mythologies, was undoubtedly among the core forces of the First Battlefield.

Within the era of the First Battlefield, it was impossible for any mythology to besiege and destroy ancient Babylonian mythology simply because "a tall tree invites the wind's wrath."

Moreover, since ancient Babylonian mythology was so powerful, even if multiple mythologies defeated it, they would inevitably suffer devastating losses. People clearly saw that in the siege, the deities' eyes burned with fury.

Nine out of ten, ancient Babylonian mythology committed some crime so heinous that even the gods could not forgive or spare it.

It was this monstrous sin that led to the annihilation of ancient Babylonian mythology.

Even though it was a mighty force defending against the First Battlefield's enemies, it had to be destroyed.

The scene before them—the war—continued.

Truly miraculous: though everyone stared at the palace within the Eye-pupil world, each person saw a different battle scene—all depicting multiple mythologies besieging ancient Babylon, yet the war spread across countless worlds, wherever Babylonian mythology held dominion, flames raged.

Some saw a world ruled by ancient Babylon.

Others saw what appeared to be the battle in the realm within the Eye-pupil world.

Different people saw different scenes—strange, mysterious, shocking the world.

Beyond astonishment, people felt burning curiosity and excitement; with so many battle scenes, perhaps the truth behind ancient Babylonian mythology's fall could be uncovered.

Suddenly.

A deafening roar, echoing through eternity, shaking the myriad universes.

At this moment, all mortals and Nether-Eroded lifeforms shuddered violently, their souls trembling sharply.

Dragon Roar!!!!!!

The Supreme Dragon Roar resounded in the vision of every being, piercing every realm, every world, echoing through the countless dimensions of the Ten Thousand Realms, stirring as if the River of Time itself were boiling.

The vision changed.

In the Ten Thousand Realms, every world's oceans churned violently, waves towering like mountains, one higher than the next, the boundless seas striking the heavens.

This scene stunned the world and stirred all living beings.

In every world, the waters of oceans, springs, lakes, rivers, streams… all sources of water boiled and surged upward, rolling back toward the sky as if to tear through the clouds and burst beyond the world, converging toward a single place.
