Chapter 114 · Volume 1

No Gods in the Mortal Realm

Do gods bleed?
This was a profound question.
So profound that no one could answer it.
But on this day,
on the day humanity brought judgment upon the gods,
this profound question...
finally...
had an answer!
Gods do bleed!
The human gods raised their divine kingdoms high, their bodies enveloped in the raging flames of faith.
Within the endless Astral Realm, they blocked the attacks of the enemy gods with shields of faith.
With the sharpest swords of laws, they pierced the divine bodies of the invading gods before their disbelieving eyes!
Golden blood splattered like falling stars, streaking across the sky.
It rained down, creating a beautiful spectacle of brilliant, fiery blossoms!
The divine war was instantly ignited!
Facing such a scene,
the vassals of the invading gods naturally could not stand by and watch.
From the divine kingdoms hanging high in the heavens, the most loyal servants of the gods poured out like a swarm of bees.
Among them were angels, devils, and fanatic believers whose souls had returned to the divine kingdoms!
They wanted to save their gods, stop the rise of humanity, and defend the dignity of the divine.
However,
the fully prepared primarch soldiers, piloting colossal warships, fearlessly blocked their path!
Clad in power armor, the primarch soldiers revved their buzzing chainswords. Amidst battle cries that shook the heavens, they clashed with the servants of the gods...
...and entered the fray!
Angels' wings were severed.
Devils' horns were ripped out.
Debris from warships and the corpses of primarch soldiers littered the entire starry sky!
How grand and tragic this war was!
In a short time, its scale not only swept across the entire Material Plane but also spilled over into countless surrounding sub-planes!
The invading gods were powerful.
But against the boundless conviction and absolute dominance of the human gods—fueled by the endless flow of humanity's faith and the accumulation of generation after generation over more than a hundred thousand years—they were nothing more than paper tigers!
Under such a ferocious onslaught, the divine kingdoms of the invading gods were shattered to pieces.
They had lost, beyond any shadow of a doubt!
Divine blood dyed the entire starry sky gold.
The defeated invading gods could only flee into the depths of the starry sky in utter humiliation, like beaten dogs.
However,
how could humanity let these wicked invaders off so easily?
Under the call of Chu Xia, the great supreme leader of the Judgment organization and the sole chief god of the human pantheon,
humanity launched a Great Crusade that shook the entire Astral Realm!
They were determined to completely purge the invading gods!
Leading steel warships under the guidance of the human gods, they set out from the Material Plane to conquer the Astral Realm.
They fought from one end of the Astral Realm to the other.
In the process, they conquered plane after plane ruled by foreign races.
Upon those lands, they planted the flag of humanity.
And those races were all reduced to human vassals!
By the time the crusaders pursued their foes to the very edge of the universe,
the entire universe was cheering for humanity!
And at this moment,
the invading gods had nowhere left to run!
They were about to face their final judgment!
...
One hundred and fifty thousand years after the descent of the gods.
The Arbiter of the Judgment of the Gods threw the Spear of Eternity—Gungnir—which symbolized an unerring strike.
Embedded upon it were the divine sparks of all the human gods.
Turning into a streak of light, Gungnir pierced through the despairing invading gods who were sealed within the subspace, without exception.
The laws carried by the divine sparks on the spear annihilated the laws held by the invading gods.
The very "essence" of the gods was forcibly erased.
In their final moments before falling into eternal silence, the last thing they saw was the Spear of Eternity that had judged them, gradually crumbling into countless fragments.
It dissolved into nothingness.
Disintegrating along with it were the physical manifestations of the laws of all the human gods embedded on the spear—their divine sparks.
Thus, the human gods fell into eternal silence together.
From then on...
there were no gods in the mortal realm.
...
Countless ages later.
A soul fragment shimmering with the light of humanity pierced through the dark night sky and fell into a dead egg.
