The Lord God Space is a place of void and chaos, where the concepts of time and space do not exist, and only consciousness at the level of a god can survive within this realm.
Communication is the only thing these gods, trapped in seals or deep slumber, can do here.
At this moment, several high-level consciousnesses were currently communicating with each other via divine perception.
"Are you joking, Chaos? A god no one has ever heard of actually defeated you?" the God of Darkness, one of the five evil gods, said in a very surprised tone.
"And not only that, it even had the audacity to claim it would eliminate all gods. Where does it get such nerve?"
Chaos's consciousness was slightly dissatisfied as it corrected, "I simply hadn't recovered to my peak strength and was arrogant enough to enter its divine domain, which led to my accidental defeat. Otherwise, it's not certain who would have won or lost!"
"Chaos, I don't follow your meaning. Are you trying to say you were bullied by some other minor god and want us to help you get revenge?" the God of Folly asked.
"Who was bullied? I am the head of the five evil gods! How could I be bullied by some nameless little god?" Chaos suddenly appeared very agitated before continuing, "That fellow is so arrogant; do none of you truly intend to teach it a lesson?"
"That god defeated Chaos, so it must be very powerful. I'm afraid I won't be able to win..." the God of Fear said weakly.
"Enough, Fear! You are the God of Fear, not fear itself. A god must act like a god!" Chaos scolded. "Only combat can make those low-level beings feel dread!"
The God of War and Discord, who had been silent all along, suddenly seemed to have a switch flipped and shouted, "Fight! Fun!"
"..." Chaos said, "Fear, look at how much fighting spirit the War God has!"
This group of high-level gods, whose core principles were disintegration, erosion, chaos, and destruction, had a gathering that was as low-intelligence and laughable as a game of house, appearing quite absurd.
The God of Darkness was the first to break this absurdity.
"Rather than its idea of eliminating all gods, I am more curious about who this Xun Shen really is," it said after a moment of silence. "Let's pull the other evil gods in as well. I'd like to hear their opinions too."
As the five most powerful and ancient existences among the evil gods, the vast majority of evil gods were once subordinates under them, and some even had godhood that directly originated from the extensions of the five evil gods' divine roles.
Although they were all gods, in the face of high-level gods, these low-level evil gods could only be ordered around like subordinates.
Seeing that the other four evil gods had no objections, the God of Darkness began to release its divine power, summoning the consciousnesses of other sealed evil gods from their slumber into the Lord God Space.
Soon, one evil consciousness after another appeared in the Lord God Space.
They had all once brought despair and misfortune to the continent, being the existences that living beings feared and loathed most. Yet now, these evil deities were gathered here, and they could only face those five supreme evil gods in trepidation.
Even though they were gods, they could still produce the emotion of fear.
The God of Fear was nourished by this emotion, and its consciousness visibly solidified by half a degree to the naked eye.
If anyone were fortunate enough to witness this scene, they would surely be scared to death!
Of course, that was impossible, because humans could not comprehend the existence of the Lord God Space, and this terrifying scene naturally could not be seen.
Suddenly, Chaos's consciousness froze for a moment as a certain consciousness in the Lord God Space caught its attention, causing it to feel an immediate sense of unease.
"Plague God," it called out the deity's title. The other gods nearby quickly made way for it as it came before the consciousness belonging to the Plague God. Although it had no facial features, one could sense Chaos's anger.
"Why are you here?"
"Aren't you in a semi-awakened state? You shouldn't be appearing here!"
Chaos's tone was icy, as if it were about to devour the Plague God in the next second.
The Plague God was terrified; the wrath of an evil god of that level was something a low-level god like it could not withstand. It quickly responded, "This humble one... this humble one does not know. My revival progress was almost complete, but it seems something punched me, and then I didn't remember anything."
Chaos was stunned.
The consciousnesses of the other four evil gods surged over.
"There shouldn't be any existing gods out there... could it be that fellow named Xun Shen?" the God of Folly raised its own question.
"This humble one... this humble one can't remember anything anymore," the Plague God responded in terror.
The reactions of the other four evil gods were quite normal; although they expressed doubt about its encounter, they didn't have any other emotions.
Only the God of Chaos felt exceptionally angry, which was truly incomprehensible to the Plague God.
Chaos seemed more concerned about the fact that it had fallen back into slumber than it was itself.
"It seems that Xun Shen's godhood must not be low," the God of Darkness said in a deep voice.
"Have any of you heard of a god named Xun Shen?" it asked, looking at the other evil gods.
The gods were bewildered and remained silent.
The God of Darkness scanned all the evil gods present, and suddenly it froze, because it sensed that one consciousness among the group of evil gods seemed exceptionally strange.
That deity... it couldn't quite recall the name.
After all, there were too many gods, and it hadn't paid much attention to some low-level ones, so forgetting a name was normal.
That fellow seemed to be called... Bloodflame Demon Dog?
"Bloodflame, what's going on with you?" the God of Darkness asked sternly, immediately focusing all the gods' attention on the Bloodflame Demon Dog, which was in the most remote position.
"Huh? What's wrong with me?" the Bloodflame Demon Dog was a bit confused.
As a minor evil god of the lowest rank, it had always been pushed to the corners during such gatherings. it felt it was just here to go through the motions, but being suddenly called out by one of the supreme existences—the God of Darkness—made it feel a surge of unease.
"Bloodflame... your, your consciousness..."
An evil god next to the Bloodflame Demon Dog spoke in a very shocked tone.
"What exactly is it?" the Bloodflame Demon Dog grew a bit panicked under their gazes.
"Bloodflame, your godhood has been marked by someone. Haven't you noticed yet?" the God of Darkness shouted.
The Lord God Space fell into silence.
"Ma... Marked?" the Bloodflame Demon Dog clearly hadn't reacted yet, looking somewhat dazed.
"Bird Wallpaper? What does that mean?" the God of Chaos also voiced its own confusion.
"Is this someone's prank?" the God of Folly also asked.
"Being marked is not a good thing. The other party wants your life, and they could take it at any moment with just a thought. How terrifying," the God of Fear said.
The God of War and Discord: "Fight! Fun!"
"Bloodflame, what exactly happened on your end?" the God of Darkness demanded.
What happened?
The Bloodflame Demon Dog began to reminisce.
Its expression gradually turned ugly.
It remembered the failure to compete for a vessel with other gods just now. It was from that moment on that its consciousness had merged with this thing called Bird Wallpaper.
"Just now, I seem to have encountered an evil god, but I don't know who it was," it said.
