On that day, humanity finally realized what kind of opponent they were facing.
It was an existence they could not hope to match.
An unspeakable entity that had previously existed only in their imaginations.
To them, all of humanity's existing weapons were as laughably useless as children's toys.
Faced with them, humanity was like primitive men wielding stone spears and axes against a Terminator from a sci-fi novel.
Powerless to resist!
Powerless to defend!
After a futile struggle,
humanity was defeated.
Utterly and completely.
Yet, they did not know whether they should count themselves lucky.
The "gods" did not wipe out all of humanity.
Perhaps out of sheer disdain,
they simply did not bother.
It was like a nest of ants on the ground.
A single step would crush a vast number of them,
but if a few survivors scurried away, they were left alone.
There was no need to waste time hunting down every last tiny ant.
From then on, this brand-new world became the home of the invaders from the other world.
The surviving humans could only scrape by like cockroaches, living on the margins.
It was also on that day
that humanity finally learned the whole truth.
The great upheaval of the world was the work of those "gods."
Their own world was on the brink of destruction, so they had sought out this new world where Earth resided.
However, the underlying laws of this world were different from theirs.
Upon entering this new world, no matter how powerful an existence was, they would lose all their power.
Even the gods were no exception.
To avoid losing their power, the gods of the other world cast their vassals into this world.
Using these vassals as anchors, they assimilated the underlying laws.
The world changed as a result.
Upon learning this, humanity felt a profound sense of powerlessness alongside their rage.
Faced with such an overwhelmingly powerful enemy,
could they really reclaim their home?
It would be difficult.
Extremely difficult.
Or rather...
it was practically impossible!
A suffocating sense of despair loomed over almost everyone.
But.
The hymn of humanity is a hymn of courage.
The greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage!
Even in the direst straits, a glimmer of hope remained!
On the surface, the surviving humans submitted to the gods.
In secret, however, they established an organization to rebel against them.
The organization was named:
Judgment!
Its purpose: to judge the gods!
They firmly believed that one day, they would bring these high and mighty beings to justice!
That day would be...
Judgment Day!
To achieve this goal,
driven by the fires of vengeance, the "backward race" known as humanity unleashed unimaginable potential in this new world.
Fifty years after the descent of the gods.
Human technology advanced by leaps and bounds.
But they soon realized that compared to the long lifespans of the invaders, a human's brief century of life was far too limited.
They could only take halting steps forward through the constant replacement of generations, with each new generation having to relearn all the knowledge left behind by their predecessors.
It was like a relay race.
Yet as knowledge accumulated, future generations had more and more to learn.
Efficiency would only decrease.
To compensate for their short lifespans, while secretly developing technology, humanity also began actively absorbing the knowledge of the invaders.
They popularized methods of cultivation among themselves.
The brilliance of magic and battle qi shone with endless luster in the hands of this ancient race, which had never before touched the extraordinary.
Seventy-three years after the descent of the gods.
Humanity gave birth to its very first Legendary expert.
His name was Chu Xia.
As a Legendary expert, he possessed a long lifespan and immense power.
He became humanity's strongest combatant on the surface.
With a Legendary expert backing them, humans could finally stand a little taller before the foreign races.
Though the gap was still vast, they no longer needed to hide in the shadows.
One hundred years after the descent of the gods.
The first generation of administrators of the Judgment organization had grown old.
After all, not everyone possessed the talent for cultivation.
By unanimous vote, Chu Xia was elected as the leader of the Judgment organization.
He took up the heavy responsibility of judging the gods!
That same year.
Humanity realized that even with cultivation methods, their physical fitness was still naturally far inferior to that of the higher lifeforms among the invaders.
With the invaders holding the advantage in numbers, humanity could not gain the upper hand in direct combat.
For this reason,
the "Primarch Project," aimed at mass-producing super soldiers, was launched.
Three hundred years after the descent of the gods.
Through studying the biological genes of the invaders and combining magic with biotechnology,
the first generation of primarch soldiers was born.
These mass-cloned beings, created by using human genes as the base template and integrating the genes of other creatures, possessed combat power far exceeding that of ordinary humans.
But also due to the integration of foreign genes,
they did not look entirely human, resembling a hybrid of humans and beasts instead.
Furthermore, their intelligence was generally affected by the foreign genes, falling below the level of normal humans.
Occasionally, they would be driven by genetic instincts to make unwise decisions.
Thus,
the invaders called these first-generation primarch soldiers...
half-beastkin.
Three hundred and twenty years after the descent of the gods.
The first-generation power armor was developed, fitting the first-generation primarch soldiers perfectly and vastly boosting their combat strength.
At the same time, the first-generation magical supercomputer, used to assist in calculations, was also introduced.
Humanity saw the hope of a counteroffensive.
Four hundred and forty-six years after the descent of the gods.
Chu Xia, the leader of the Judgment organization, broke through to become a demigod.
That same year, Chu Xia voluntarily offered himself up as a test subject.
He underwent extreme experimental procedures, including blood draws, dissection, organ removal, and the forced induction of near-death states.
Through experimenting on a demigod, humanity began to explore the domain of the gods, aiming to create a weapon capable of killing them.
The first millennium after the descent of the gods.
Humanity made a breakthrough in their research on the gods.
They reached a conclusion.
Gods were the embodiment of rules.
Humans... could not kill gods!
Only a god could kill a god!
But
to become a true god, one had to master the rules.
Yet, the rules were currently held in the hands of the invading gods.
Human society fell into darkness, and hope shattered.
An era of great turmoil lasting five hundred years began.
Rebellions and wars broke out continuously.
Chu Xia, the leader of the Judgment organization, stepped out of the laboratory and single-handedly suppressed the chaotic world.
That same year,
the God Creation Project was launched.
Eleven thousand years after the descent of the gods.
The God Creation Project achieved a breakthrough.
To avoid drawing the gaze of the gods, and also to weaken the enemy's forces, humanity actively instigated conflict between the dragons and the Titans.
This triggered a chaotic war.
Seventy thousand years after the descent of the gods.
War erupted between the ancient Titans and the ancient dragons.
That same year,
humanity secretly prepared for a counteroffensive.
The second-generation primarch soldiers were successfully created.
Compared to the first generation, the second-generation primarch soldiers possessed stronger bodies and higher intelligence.
The world called them—the green-skinned beastkin!
One hundred thousand years after the descent of the gods.
The dragons emerged as the ultimate victors.
To buy more time to develop,
humanity secretly instigated the elves to stir up unrest.
The dragons exited the stage of history, and the elves became the world's overlords.
To test the influence of the power of faith on the gods and the feasibility of dividing the authority of the laws, humanity instigated the elves to build numerous churches to worship the gods.
The world entered its most chaotic and lively era—the Silver Age.
One hundred and twenty thousand years after the descent of the gods.
Under the secret plotting of the Judgment organization, a civil war broke out among the elves, plunging them into a period of weakness.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, humanity deployed their primarch soldiers in an attempt to overthrow the elves' rule.
With strength and hatred accumulated over one hundred and twenty thousand years, they easily defeated the weakened elves!
Humanity successfully reclaimed their home!
On the surface, they still submitted to the gods.
But it was in appearance only.
One hundred and forty thousand years after the descent of the gods.
Humanity had prepared everything.
The God Creation Project was officially declared complete.
Led by Chu Xia, a group of demigods accepted the terrifying power of faith accumulated over more than a hundred thousand years through special methods...
...a terrifying power of faith, accumulated by humanity generation after generation like a relay race, immense enough to shake the entire world!
With such terrifying power of faith, they finally succeeded in prying loose the world's underlying laws monopolized by the gods!
Under the gaze of the entire world,
they ascended to godhood!
And so...
new gods were born!
Judgment Day
had arrived!
