Chapter 3056: Return

Su Xiao returned to the white town. Most of the area here had become ruins. He came here to investigate the last secret of this world to see if he could obtain some rewards.

Walking into the Pale Palace, Su Xiao sat on the throne of the King of Light. He hadn't used the Soul Devourer talent to strip the Feather God's soul memories before. This kind of opportunity was already very rare. Eighth-tier enemies were too dangerous. Stripping soul memories without certainty would bring unknown risks.

Su Xiao was followed only by Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha; Amu was recuperating in the town's residence. As for Moon Spirit, after Su Xiao crushed the King's Hand Order, Moon Spirit was lost for a long time. Finally, Baha suggested she go follow the Goddess Sandaye to gain experience.

Sandaye, who had nothing, neither refused nor agreed. In fact, for her, having Moon Spirit follow her was a pretty good journey.

In a sense, Moon Spirit was invincible in this world. After Su Xiao left, she was the only member of the White Town. Anyone with a shred of sanity wouldn't look for trouble with her.

The Kodo School wouldn't allow such a thing to happen. The situation had just calmed down; whoever provoked the White Town would be the first to explode with rage. Ambitious as they were, they were terrified of the White Town becoming active again. If something happened to Moon Spirit and some powerhouse—a veritable natural disaster—came looking for them, their rise would be for nothing.

Moreover, after Su Xiao left the Dark Star World, Goddess Sandaye was the undisputed strongest.

This was only what could be seen on the surface. In the shadows, there were the soul phantoms within the White Town. Not only that, if anyone killed Moon Spirit, a blacksmith would return to this world. Moon Spirit was watched over by that blacksmith as she grew up. When she was little, Moon Spirit was so mischievous she would pull the blacksmith's beard. If Moon Spirit were killed, no one knew what the enraged blacksmith would do.

Su Xiao sat on the throne, took out a Soul Crystal (Small), and tossed it into his mouth to chew.

"King of Light, before you dissipate, I have a question to ask you."

As soon as Su Xiao's voice fell, a phantom appeared in front of him. It was very blurry; one could only see many chains dragging behind it.

"It was the Mother Goddess who lured the Feather God Hegla here, wasn't it?"

Cling.

The sound of chains colliding came, and the phantom in front faded away.

【Hint: You have discovered the mystery of the descent. You have gained 3% of the World's Source.】

Seeing this hint, Su Xiao knew his deduction was correct. Many years ago, the Mother Goddess was the only god in this world. Everyone believed in her and trusted her will implicitly.

After the King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen appeared, the number of people who believed in the Mother Goddess decreased sharply. The Mother Goddess had two choices: gradually fade away and fall long after due to the exhaustion of faith, or eliminate the King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen.

In fact, the King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen of that period were no pushovers either. They were a new batch of powerhouses; without ambition and courage, they wouldn't have reached this tier. They also wanted to become gods, so they targeted the Mother Goddess. Due to multiple factors, they all held back and didn't make a move.

The Mother Goddess was very unwilling. She chose the latter: eliminate the King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen. The awkward part was that she could at most fight the Spider Queen to a draw and was absolutely no match for the King of Light and the Great Sage.

Since she couldn't beat them, she would look for foreign aid, create a crisis, and let the King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen on the stage solve it. Even if the three kings were unwilling, they would have to stand up. When both sides fought until they were exhausted, the Mother Goddess would make her move and restore the era ruled by gods.

Where to find foreign aid was a problem. The Mother Goddess searched for a long time, and she targeted the Ancient Gods. Please don't laugh; the Mother Goddess had a reason for doing this.

At that time, the only 'Ancient God' in this world was the Tree God, a fake. After the Mother Goddess beat the Tree God half to death, she was very disappointed. This level? Ancient God? Too weak.

The Tree God, who had been hammered for no reason, was naturally full of bad intentions. It told the Mother Goddess that there were Ancient Gods stronger than it, but they needed to be summoned to be invited.

After the Mother Goddess confirmed it multiple times, she reached a conclusion: as long as the intensity of the summoning was controlled, the Ancient God summoned through the Tree God's Ancient God power would be strong enough, but wouldn't reach the point of being out of control.

As a fake Ancient God, the Tree God could control this. After all, the Ancient God energy in its body was the real deal. The Tree God also had its own plans; it wanted to become a real Ancient God. Devouring the divine body of an Ancient God was the most feasible way.

After the Mother Goddess and the Tree God discussed it, the two hit it off and decided that after the deed was done, the body of the Ancient God who was killed would belong to the Tree God, while the Mother Goddess would monopolize the power of faith in this world.

The two prepared for a long time and set up the ritual to summon the Ancient God. The Mother Goddess dared to do this entirely because she was misled by the existence of the Tree God. She always believed that Ancient Gods were just strong in combat power and nothing else. Looking at the Tree God, she knew the other party had been in this world for a long time, and nothing had happened to this world.

The ritual was activated. According to normal development, the Mother Goddess's success probability was over 50%. Although this world would suffer heavy damage, she could become the final winner.

The key to all problems was that after the Mother Goddess and the Tree God activated the ritual, the Feather God outside this world was avoiding the search of the Underworld God's prison dogs and believers. The Feather God didn't fear these prison dogs and believers, but if it faced the Underworld God directly, it would surely die.

Just at this critical juncture, the Feather God sensed a call. It was a world that hadn't been sucked dry yet. In the past, the Feather God wouldn't have gone, but its current situation was very bad. Going to that world to take refuge for a period of time was a good choice.

That was how it was. The Mother Goddess summoned the Feather God Hegla. It was also at that time that she learned what a real Ancient God was. The world withered, the sky was dim and lightless, and living beings were corrupted and went insane.

Let alone the Mother Goddess, even the Tree God regretted it at the time. They hadn't summoned an enemy, but invited a super-daddy, an existence that could look down on them.

The Mother Goddess always believed that this was her world, so she held a "try it and see" attitude and fought the Feather God, planning to run if she couldn't win.

The result was that the Feather God might have felt the Mother Goddess's divine energy tasted good, so after defeating her, it locked her up, keeping her to devour slowly when it had nothing to do.

The King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen all learned the news and decided to save the Mother Goddess. Although they were semi-hostile before, they were all from the same world. In this situation, uniting against the outside was the wise choice. The Ancient God was simply too terrifying.

Then the Mother Goddess + King of Light + Great Sage + Wolf Spider Queen were schooled. During the battle, the sealing ability displayed by the Great Sage gave the Feather God an idea: if it were sealed, it could better avoid the Underworld God's detection.

The Feather God didn't want to kill them all either. There was a blacksmith in this world; if it went too far, it wouldn't be good if the blacksmith came knocking.

The container cultivation plan began. In fact, in the end, the Mother Goddess, the King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen didn't completely seal the Feather God. As long as the Feather God wanted to, it could break the seal at any time.

After Su Xiao used various means, the Feather God was heavily wounded. Only then could it truly not break out of the seal. The Feather God didn't expect itself to be so unlucky; it successfully avoided the Underworld God, but encountered a Law-Killer.

The Mother Goddess was the beginning of all evil. Originally, all living beings believed in her and had faith in her.

From beginning to end, the King of Light and the Wolf Spider Queen said they were eating the bitter fruit of their own actions. In fact, it was indeed so. If it weren't for their ambition and prying into the Mother Goddess's divine power, they wouldn't have forced the Mother Goddess to summon an Ancient God. There is a cause for every effect.

In other words, the Mother Goddess, the King of Light, the Great Sage, and the Wolf Spider Queen were all the beginning of evil.

Just as the world introduction hinted when he first entered this world: "Don't be deceived by appearances; the things you firmly believe in might be the beginning of evil."

Su Xiao chewed the Soul Crystal in his mouth. The affairs of this world had nothing to do with him anymore. Compared to these secrets, the benefits he gained in this world were absolutely a bumper harvest. Just the existing Soul Coins alone were 28,730! Plus the treasure chests and various items—after digesting these resources, his strength would definitely increase by a large margin.

Even in an Eighth-Tier world, there shouldn't be such exaggerated gains. This was a resource world of the Apocalypse Paradise, which was why there were such exaggerated gains.

Su Xiao chose to complete the main quest. His body began to become semi-transparent, as did Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baha beside him.

Returning to the Samsara Paradise this time, Su Xiao had many things to do. He had to finish what he promised the Toad and the Violent Rat along the way, but he didn't know how the Dull-Hair King's pain tolerance was.
