Chapter 51: The Coming Upheaval

The交界 between the War Church and the Healing Church.

A massive formation, fully thirty meters in diameter, blazed with light that shot into the sky.

At the foundation of the formation lay an energy array three meters thick.

This energy array was enough to block an attack from a divine envoy or ancestral spirit powerhouse.

At this moment, beside the great array for extracting the world's origin.

The “Mother Goddess” of the Human-Faced Flower Cult.

The “Shepherd God” of the Shepherd God Church.

And the “Giant God” of the Giant God Church.

Three twisted, grotesque evil gods sat cross-legged in midair.

The world origin they extracted gurgled as they absorbed it.

As they absorbed, their power continuously recovered and grew, while the world origin's suppression of them weakened with their absorption.

In the midst of their absorption.

Two of the three evil gods seemed to sense something and simultaneously opened their eyes, gazing at the formation drawing the world origin.

“What’s happening?” The Giant God, towering at ten meters tall, his entire body covered in floating, peculiar hexagonal armor, narrowed his giant eyes and spoke in a deep voice.

“The extraction of the origin is weakening,” said the Human-Faced Flower “Mother Goddess,” about the height of a person, softly.

“Of course I know the extraction is weakening, but why is this happening?”

“And…”

The Giant God’s massive eyes fixed steadily on the origin energy formation.

“The rate of weakening is continuing.”

In their perception.

The origin energy that had been gushing forth was steadily declining.

In just a few breaths, it had already dropped to half of what it was.

Then, to one-fifth.

One-tenth.

After a moment, the extraction of origin energy had dwindled to about one-thirtieth of its previous amount.

If before it was a trickling stream, enough to supply the three evil gods’ absorption.

Now it was a dripping trickle—barely enough for one person, let alone three.

Seeing the nearly severed trickle of world origin being extracted, both the Giant God and the Mother Goddess looked grim.

What use was this one-thirtieth of the original origin energy extraction?

After all, they had entered this world precisely for the world origin.

With enough abundant world origin, they could enhance their power and strengthen themselves.

But this one-thirtieth extraction was far too little, and split three ways, it was even more insufficient.

With such meager world origin, if they continued waiting here, it would be a complete waste of time, utterly pointless.

“Elder Shepherd God?”

Both evil gods looked simultaneously at the “Shepherd God,” who was more powerful and experienced than them.

At this moment, the Shepherd God calmly opened his eyes.

“Someone must have cast a World Anchor into it,” the Shepherd God said softly.

“A World Anchor? This world has a World Anchor? How is that possible? The strongest in this world are just ordinary demigods; there’s no channel of contact with the outside world—it’s a completely isolated world island. How could it possess such a costly treasure as a World Anchor?” the Giant God said in a deep voice.

Without arguing with the Giant God, the Shepherd God closed his eyes and continued to absorb the meager world origin.

The Mother Goddess pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

“Elder Shepherd God, we came to this Oya Continent and painstakingly built this situation to absorb the world’s origin power. But now the world origin has plummeted to one-thirtieth of its previous amount—hardly worth absorbing.”

“Should we continue to stay here?”

Only when the Mother Goddess asked this did the Shepherd God slowly open his eerie eyes and say tersely, “Wait.”

“Wait? Wait for what?” The Mother Goddess and the Giant God looked at him in confusion.

“The upheaval.”

“Upheaval? What upheaval?”

“You’ll know when the time comes. Soon, an age of upheaval will sweep through the entire supernatural world—in fact, that upheaval has already arrived.”

“The Ancient Dragon-Tan world cluster, including the high-dimensional supernatural world [Saint Haigar], will all be swept into this upheaval.”

Both were shaken by these words.

The Ancient Dragon-Tan large-scale supernatural world had many gods.

And Saint Haigar, a high-dimensional supernatural world, had countless gods.

What upheaval could sweep through Saint Haigar? It was unimaginable.

If anyone else had said this, they wouldn’t have found the information reliable.

But this Shepherd God was not only powerful but also a member of a very mysterious evil god organization.

Moreover, this evil god organization was suppressed even in Saint Haigar.

Being suppressed in Saint Haigar showed just how formidable this mysterious evil god organization was.

“Are the stars aligning to the correct position, and the great Cthulhu beings about to awaken?” the Mother Goddess asked.

“Quite the opposite. It’s not the awakening of Cthulhu beings that causes this upheaval; rather, the arrival of this upheaval will cause the Cthulhu beings to awaken.”

“Earlier, you wondered why the Aberrant Land was so strange.”

“It’s because the Aberrant Land is one of the origins of this upheaval.”

“Wait here quietly. When that upheaval arrives, Oya Continent, being so close, will undergo many astonishing changes. And… the fleet of the Mechanical Scourge is already advancing; their target is also the Ancient Dragon-Tan world cluster.”

“Oya Continent, as the world at the forefront of Ancient Dragon-Tan closest to the Aberrant Land, lies in the source tide and shines the brightest—it will become the landing point for those mechanical lifeforms.”

“If you carefully sense the dark side of the world, you can feel that in the depths of the dark side, the demons have already begun building teleportation arrays.”

“Oya Continent will become a battlefield—a battlefield for the Scourge beings to contend.”

“By landing here early, we can seize the initiative.”

“As for the native inhabitants, when war comes, they are all sacrifices. Even if some among them achieve demigodhood or even godhood, it will still be the same.”

“Absorbing this world origin is naturally excellent.”

“If we can’t absorb it, this meager absorption will do. When that upheaval arrives and we gain the benefits, we can naturally unleash our full power in this medium-sized supernatural world.”

“So, wait patiently.” With that, the Shepherd God closed his eyes again.

Though they were eager to know exactly what this “upheaval” was.

The Shepherd God’s demeanor clearly indicated he wouldn’t tell them.

Bewildered, the two pondered for a while, then closed their eyes and entered a state of cultivation.

…

Inside the cultivation chamber.

After a meticulous and thorough sensing.

Gunie slowly opened his eyes, a hint of joy appearing in them.

The rate at which the world origin was being drawn had plummeted to one-thirtieth.

Thus, the world’s withering period had been extended to about a hundred years.

At the same time, the recovery of those evil gods’ power would also be similarly reduced.

This left Gunie with more relaxed time for cultivation.

“Enter Saint Haigar, cultivate steadily, improve my strength, ascend to the Saint rank as soon as possible, then drive out all those evil gods—not a single one of those southern churches will escape.”

Then, Gunie began the transition to Saint Haigar.

The upheaval in the extraction of the world origin was naturally sensed by the high-level members of the Supernatural Association.

They immediately conducted an investigation.

The peculiar change of a thirtyfold reduction left them both shocked and delighted.

After all, this was a rare piece of good news.

How they would respond to this situation was beyond Gunie’s current reach.
