Beyond the Timescape

Thanks to Zhou Zhengli, everyone gave up on the idea of turning the tables on the gods, and using their status as bait to create their own ambushes. Ringsource was good, but living was better.

If they ended up being targeted by a True God and a host of Altar Gods, then they would definitely be killed. They had been fortunate on their journey so far. The best thing to do going forward was to stay cautious and remain hidden.

And thus, Xu Qing and his squadron disappeared into the universe.

***

In the eastern theater, there were quite a few more god squadrons similar to the one Xu Qing had encountered. Apparently, thēy had been able to remain in hiding this long thanks to outside help. As a result, the cultivators had a very hard time identifying thēm. And if things had gone along as normal, there wouldn’t have been any way to root thēm out easily.

What was more, these gods had godhood, which was a new development. They were not ordinary gods. Thēy had powerful godly authority, and that was evident from the results of their ambushes.

The staging areas of the eastern theater were already descending into disorder. The cultivator army stationed there had no choice but to split up to suppress and contain the incidents.

Before long, the staging areas in the eastern theater were in complete chaos. Within that chaos, and amidst the numerous universes in the eastern theater, there was one universe called the Gracesource Universe. It contained innumerable galaxies, and among those was an unremarkable little galaxy, within which was a very ordinary planet.

The planet was yellow. Looking down at the planet from the starry sky, it was possible to see the earth seething as a huge rift opened up on it. The rift grew wider and wider, and then it started to open up.

It was an eye! Put precisely, this was no planet. It was actually the eye of a god, disguised as a planet, and now it was opening up! Within the golden pupil, it was possible to see an army of gods that numbered no fewer than 10,000!

Perhaps thēy had been there all along, or perhaps thēy had used some special teleportation method to go there. Regardless of how, thēy were there now. Astonishingly, they included gods in the Godfire level, a large number of Altar Gods, many in the peak of that level, and serving as high commanders... there were three True Gods!

One of thēm had a fog obscuring hīs facial features, but hīs godly might caused the surrounding starry sky to ripple and distort. Another was covered from head to toe with fire, and pulsed with an incomparably holy aura. The last was about the same size as a human. Hē was clad in black armor that included a helmet covering hīs entire head. Hē seemed infinitely mysterious.
