Chapter 1517: Incarnation of Apocalypse

The dim light illuminated the dome of the divine palace.

Under the dome, the murals were continuously spinning around the statue of the Deity at its center.

Gusts of wind began to pick up around the divine palace.

Within the strong wind, the murals almost seemed like they were coming alive, continuously changing and shifting until they turned into a world of their own.

——–the divine palace of Fate had disappeared.

Gu Qing Shan found himself standing within a barren land being buffeted by a snowstorm.

“Gongzi?” Shannu spoke up.

“It’s ok, don’t do anything yet. I suspect that this place is hiding some sort of secret that Lachesis was trying to tell me” Gu Qing Shan replied.

He observed his surroundings.

There was no sky here, nothing aside from the ground and boundless space.

The ground was completely white.

There were no living beings, nor any plant life in this world.

It was a cold and chilling world.

Gu Qing Shan stood still for a while, then suddenly felt his heart beating faster for no good reason.

“How strange, this is only an illusion, yet it was able to rouse such emotions…”

He carefully sensed his surroundings, then crouched down and pushed the snow on the ground away with his hand.

Only to see that there was nothing but a glittering ice crystal beneath.

This entire region seemed to be a single piece of ice crystal.

Something seemed to be hidden deep inside the ice crystal, but Gu Qing Shan couldn’t see anything no matter how hard he looked.

Lachesis’ voice resounded by his ears:

“In the beginning, within the boundless void, only this single frozen place existed”

“Up until a certain day where a mass of blood grew from within this seemingly bottomless ice crystal”

On the pure white ground, a small red dot suddenly appeared, then began to spread and dye this entire frosty region in the color of blood.

Countless tentacles grew from the ground, then converged in mid-air to form the shape of an old man.

As soon as the old man appeared, he rapidly began to tap the void of space, manifesting the countless Laws of Reality to create everything.

The land, the rivers, the mountains, the sky, as well as——

The Deities.

The old man gathered countless Laws into a single place, forming a feminine physique.

——Lachesis.

So the very first Deity was actually Lachesis!

After finishing her, the old man shook his head and muttered: 「 Too powerful 」

He split off two sources of Law from Lachesis’ body into two more feminine figures.

「 The Law of Fate has been split into three, that will be enough for me to feel relieved 」the old man declared.

He then began to sculpt the other Deities.

The Deities came into existence one by one.

Lachesis continued to tell the story:

“The entity sealed within the ice crystal used his own blood to create the Lord of Infinite Origins, who then went on to create millions of Deities. All of this happened because it had sensed a certain truth”

“The Age of Apocalypse was approaching”

Gu Qing Shan sensed something and abruptly looked up.

Only to see the newly formed sky being destroyed by a certain force as countless monsters of various forms descended from above.

The newly created Deities swiftly engaged in battle with the monsters under the old man’s control.

The battle was extraordinarily intense.

The Deities fell in battle one after another, but there seemed to be no end to these monsters.

“During our very first contact with the Apocalypse, we had fallen into a disadvantageous situation. Fortunately, the Lord of Infinite Origins realized that it was not good and unleashed his full power to strengthen the power of each Deity.

Gu Qing Shan stood on the battlefield and saw the Deities gradually becoming stronger with his own eyes, each of them ultimately gaining unbelievable strength that surpassed all of his expectations.

The more they fought, the better the Deities became, until they finally defeated all of the monsters.

“After the initial Apocalypse, we have become strong and fit for combat, our wisdom had also developed and granted us self-consciousness and emotions”

Following Lachesis’ words, the vision changed.

Countless tentacles had emerged from the old man’s body, reaching into the back of each Deity’s heads and began to pour something inside.

Some of the Deities who tried to resist were directly erased by the old man.

“The Lord of Infinite Origins then began to use something called the ‘shadows of the Deities’ to take control of us, wanting to use them to erase our consciousness and facilitate easier control”

“Very inopportunely, the second Apocalypse arrived at this moment”

The sky abruptly went dark.

A humongous metallic warship descended from the sky and unleashed overwhelming attacks towards the Lord of Infinite Origins.

Half of the Lord of Infinite Origins’ entire body of tentacles was eradicated by this attack, even the mountains and rivers that covered the ground were also gradually broken apart to expose the ice crystal beneath.

“Without their consciousness, the Deities were no match for this Apocalypse at all, so the Lord of Infinite Origins had to give up on erasing our minds and had us help it stop the Apocalypse”

“Having awoken, we understood that we must resist him somehow, so while we continued to fight the Apocalypse, we were also thinking of ways to resist the Lord of Infinite Origins”

The vision changed again.

After countless battles, the Deities gradually pushed the opposing Apocalypse back enough to almost destroy it.

Within a secret cavern, they silently gathered to discuss the methods of resisting the Lord of Infinite Origins.

“The three Deities of Fate bestowed the Foresight Deity with a blessing of Fate in order for him to foresee the future of the Deities”

“The Foresight Deity then made two extremely crucial prophecies”

“Firstly: Even if we triumph against the Lord of Infinite Origins, or even if he was struck down by the Apocalypse, he would simply rise again in a number of years, then attempt to consume all the Deities to replenish his strength”

“Secondly: A Deity King would emerge from either the future Lord of Radiance or Death God, who would survive through all calamities and reestablish the Pantheon”

“The millions of Deities vowed that regardless if they were the Death God or Lord of Radiance, as long as they could save everyone, they would follow that person and support them as King”

“However, no one noticed that we three sisters of Fate had used a method to deceive everyone and not follow the vow”

The three female Deities who were sitting at the highest seat exchanged glances, seemingly discussing something.

“As the most powerful entities among the Deities, we sisters of Fate were not willing to hand over our authority so easily, so we set up a trap in the two prophecies as well as the vow of the Deities”

“Everything had been prepared, but we had made a crucial mistake”

“The Apocalypse had not disappeared, it only resurfaced in an even more terrifying manner, an unbeatable manner”

Boom!!!

The cavern began to collapse.

The Deities flew out and gazed at the sky.

Innumerable insects were descending into this world.

The old man flew into the sky and released millions of tentacles to fight off the insects in the sky.

While each of the old man’s attacks was able to kill off a large number of insects, more of them would simply rush forward and eat away at his tentacles.

Very quickly, all the tentacles that the old man released had been completely eaten away.

The insects that ate his flesh stopped in mid-air and began to undergo change.

They were evolving into more powerful monsters.

While the old man retreated, he also shouted to summon the Deities to attack.

The Deities swiftly arrived.

The full might of millions of Deities managed to instantly eradicate a large number of insects as well.

But similarly, the insects had burrowed into a large number of Deities’ bodies and began eating them from inside.

Any insect that managed to consume any flesh would evolve into more powerful monsters. They learnt the power of Law, the Lord of Infinite Origins’ means of attacks, as well as all of the Deities’ combat skills.

The combat situation rapidly deteriorated.

The Deities were forced to retreat and found themselves gradually unable to push back at all, lingering on the verge of defeat.

At the most dangerous moment, the three Deities of Fate stood up and led the millions of Deities in focusing their powers to forge three Divine Artifacts of great power.

The countless monsters and insects were helpless against the three Divine Artifacts.

Lachesis’ voice resounded again:

“We forged the three Divine Artifacts to fight off the terrifying Apocalypse, as well as using them after the Apocalypse was over to kill the Lord of Infinite Origins”

“Initially, we succeeded”

“But never did we think that an even more terrifying Apocalypse would attack this world again”

Corpses of the insects filled the ground.

The Deities were jumping in joy, cheering and celebrating their victory.

At this moment, a terribly cruel face manifested in the sky, looking down on everything in the world below.

The three Deities of Fate once again led the millions of Deities against the face.

Countless moments of the war flashed across Gu Qing Shan’s eyes, and in the end, thanks to the three Divine Artifacts forged by the millions of Deities, they finally managed to defeat a certain entity.

The entire vision disappeared.

Everything returned to darkness.

Lachesis’ voice resounded from a distance, but now carried a hint of fear in it:

“The Lord of Infinite Origins fell into slumber”

“Almost everyone among the millions of Deities fell in battle, only 18,000 of them luckily managed to escape death, but 8000 of them were already in a critical state, unable to be saved”

“We managed to defeat the Apocalypse, but I was faintly able to sense that everything was not over”

“As the first Deity, the King of all Deities, the only true individual who could see through Fate, I, Lachesis, braved everyone else to absorb all the life force of the 8000 dying Deities”

“I was willing to end their lives at that very moment, as well as fully expending my ability to foresee just to see the truth of the Apocalypse, foretelling Fate one last time to arrive at a certain conclusion:”

“The Apocalypse had not left”

“It was hiding among us Deities, silently observing everything, constantly trying to obtain the three Divine Artifacts for itself and erase the final means of retaliation that this world had against it”

“No one knew its whereabouts. Even when I had expended every last bit of my foreseeing ability, I was still unable to see its true identity”

“After the lengthy Age of Myriad Deities came to an end, and even the Age of Law Behemoths eventually reached its last moments as well, only then would it slowly reveal itself”

“At a certain moment in the future, it would kill the former King of the Myriad Deities——– the Deity of Fate, Lachesis”

“If someone could achieve this…”

“Remember well, they must be the incarnation of the Apocalypse!”
