Chapter 211: Knight World

Upon hearing the word "universe," the Heavenly Dao Chief suddenly realized that both Alien Insects and Original Insects are extraterrestrial life; wiping out Alien Insects on Earth is useless.

So many worlds—could Jiang Xia be from another world?

"I've been in this world for so long, yet this is the first time I'm voluntarily telling you my origin."

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, the originally bright and clean laboratory suddenly dimmed.

The lighting that the Heavenly Dao Chief had previously disliked as glaring lit up again.

In the darkness, countless white beams of light suddenly flashed and kept jumping around in this room.

Devil Memory emitted a faint glow in the darkness, and vast amounts of data were covering this laboratory.

A white halo swept across the floor, instantly making the floor soft, as if standing on a constantly flowing river surface.

Devil Memory's ability was transforming this place into another world.

The beams that originally emitted blue light, as well as the already softened floor, began to flash rapidly, with the frequency continually increasing.

Finally, white light filled the entire flickering laboratory.

Eden Garden had already been generated; this is Jiang Xia's domain, where he can control everything within it, as if he were the omniscient and omnipotent God.

Jiang Xia lightly snapped his fingers, and all light in the laboratory vanished, leaving the surroundings in absolute silence and darkness.

In this dark world, the Heavenly Dao Chief felt his body losing control, as a force began dragging his body upward.

"Don't resist; I merely temporarily canceled Earth's gravity." Jiang Xia whispered softly in the darkness.

Soon the Heavenly Dao Chief's body left the ground.

Although it was pitch black, the Heavenly Dao Chief felt Jiang Xia standing before him, observing him.

At this moment, the surroundings that were originally completely dark and devoid of light began to gradually have specks of starlight.

That was genuine starlight, because the Heavenly Dao Chief now found himself amidst a brilliant universe.

In the endless void, a tremendous burst of energy suddenly erupted, instantly igniting the entire universe.

Violent heat waves and powerful impacts, as if substantial, kept bombarding and colliding before the Heavenly Dao Chief.

Countless planets instantly annihilated into sky‑filling dust; time and space began to become chaotic, and the whole universe kept trembling.

Over endless ages, countless materials, under the effect of universal gravitation, continuously combined and coalesced, forming new planets and star systems.

Finally, under the sun's shine, a cerulean planet slowly rotated, and the scattered starlight drifted leisurely around Earth.

"This is Earth, where we now live; the scene just shown is the moment of Earth's formation—the image from 4.6 billion years ago."

Jiang Xia's silhouette stood on one side of the radiant Earth.

Bathed in faint light, his body gleamed with white radiance; this appearance of Jiang Xia made the Heavenly Dao Chief feel as if he had encountered a true deity.

Unlike those Alien Insects that bring threat and nausea,

the Heavenly Dao Chief now felt only tranquility and peace, as if this place were the kingdom of God.

At this moment, Jiang Xia perfectly embodied what the true Way of Heaven is.

Moreover, he felt no fear; in the Way of Heaven, he himself is the center of the world—even when facing the true God, it is the same.

"So Shuhua's way of addressing you is genuine; I initially thought it was just some special title."

The Heavenly Dao Chief looked at Jiang Xia before him and said.

"No, I am not a deity, or rather, gods never existed; I am merely a person who possesses some power beyond human cognition."

Jiang Xia stood before the Heavenly Dao Chief and lightly raised his index finger.

As if an intangible force enveloped the illusory Earth, at that instant the Earth split, and its fluorescent fragments fell around them.

Twenty Earths circled around them, with Jiang Xia and the Heavenly Dao Chief standing face to face.

Jiang Xia pointed at one of them with his hand and said, "That is the world we are currently in."

He paused, then continued: "This world is called Kamen Rider Jia Dou."

"In this world, as time passes, countless Kamen Riders have been born."

"However, in a world, only one Knight is the most important—he is the pivotal support of everything in that world; in these different worlds, they each have their own legends."

"Heavenly Dao Chief, you are the protagonist of the Jia Dou World legend, namely the center of the world." Jiang Xia said.

"\"Protagonist\" sounds like a character from a book—am I the main character of this world?" the Heavenly Dao Chief said.

The Heavenly Dao Chief said, "Then what about you—whose story's main character are you?"

"\"Me? Probably the tale of an ordinary boy who gained power thanks to good luck. \" Jiang Xia said with a laugh.

"\"Although it's called a story, it should actually be called history; this world needs history to be sustained. \"

"\"Stories can be written arbitrarily, with anyone as the protagonist, but the history of Knights is different,

\"a world without Knights will gradually head toward destruction; you can imagine a Knight as the central support point of a world. \" Jiang Xia said.

"\"Originally I was just traveling peacefully, coming into contact with every Knight who possessed legendary power,

"\"I am not like you; my goal is more complex, perhaps because I am not the protagonist. \"

"\"Because of an accident, I came to this world. \"

"\"An accident? \" the Heavenly Dao Chief asked, \"Even you? \"

"\"Yes. \" Jiang Xia waved his hand, and the twenty worlds hovering around him vanished, leaving only one.

Moreover, this Earth was rapidly expanding and swiftly hurtling toward them.

The Heavenly Dao Chief gazed at this unfamiliar world, his eyes revealing a rare hint of bewilderment.

"Here is completely different from the environment he originally lived in; the original Tokyo Tower had been replaced by another tall tower equipped with windmills."

"\"Is this where you live? It looks quite nice. \" the Heavenly Dao Chief said, looking at this strange city.

"\"After all, it's merely a phantom of memory; this place is Fengdu, and if calculated by time, it should be the future. \" Jiang Xia said.

Jiang Xia reached out to try to touch the nearby large tree, then passed straight through it,

"\"This is merely a projection of my memory; what I can touch now is only air. \"

Heavenly Dao Chief remained silent for a long time, "What was that accident?"

"Alien Insect."

Firelight shot into the sky, countless Alien Insects fell from the heavens and descended upon Fengdu; the city that had just been intact was instantly destroyed, and Fengdu was shrouded in the smoke of explosions.

Compared to the scene of Shibuya resembling ruins, the Fengdu now revealed is more like hell.

There are far too many Alien Insects here; Fengdu before them is like a small boat in a vast sea, liable to be swallowed at any moment.

"When I found out, it was already too late; Fengdu had already been made into a forward outpost for the Alien Insect invasion."

"I know the nature and origin of the Alien Insects; they originally should not have appeared in Fengdu."

"But because an organization called Sikar wanted to conquer the world of the Knights, it inadvertently exposed the world's coordinates; thus, when the Alien Insect Queen obtained those coordinates, she used the power of Mimicry to gain the ability to traverse time and space."

"At the moment I found out, I also made preparations; I used Sikar's data to reverse-locate the Alien Insect Queen's world, intending to eliminate the source of the Alien Insects."

"Jia Dou?" the Heavenly Dao Chief said.

"Hmm, the asteroid where the Alien Insect Queen exists is within the Jia Dou universe, and it is also the culprit behind the Shibuya incident."

"It's regrettable; I failed, for my strength was insufficient to destroy it. But when I was gravely wounded and about to die, I took away half of the Alien Insect Queen's power."

"The Alien Insect Queen's furious, flustered appearance is still quite nice."

"Finally, I used this power to turn into a meteorite and fell onto Earth,

And Shuhua happened to be leaving school that day, just saw me descending from the sky, so she called me a deity.
