Devouring World Dragon

Chapter 139 Thirty Thousand Years

The demon challenged the god, but ultimately failed and fell from the heavens to the earth...

This story was recorded only by angels; aside from the messengers of God, almost no one else knew of it, until it was gradually forgotten by time. The enormous monster slept there underground, in the depths of the ocean, and for a very long time, it remained unable to awaken.

As the sun and moon rose and fell, year after year, another thirty thousand years passed, and the god and the demon never met again. Or rather, the demon no longer needed to see this "little worm" in its eyes; its deep-seated arrogance and pride made it have no doubt that it would be the final victor in this game.

It has successfully used humanity as a pawn to deprive God of His throne. Now, it only needs to wait quietly for God to become more and more like humanity. When God becomes more and more like humanity, that will be the moment it swallows the whole world along with God.

It could wait for Ragnarok for more than 10,000 years, so it would naturally not mind waiting another 30,000 years.

However, faced with this almost foreseeable future, God in the heavens made no move, as if contemplating something. And ultimately, He created a being called the "Messiah"...

That which it regarded as the most perfect creation.

Messiah means "savior". When he was born, God commanded all the angels to worship this perfect Son of God as if he were worshipping him. The angels obeyed their master, and all the beings of the world worshipped this "savior". Only Metatron, the viceroy of the Kingdom of Heaven, disobeyed God's will.

God: "You should worship it."

Metatron: "How can the son of fire worship the son of earth?"

Angels are born from fire and light, and Metatron is a ray of light from God. It is a demigod who possesses the power of God but does not have the identity of God. It only worships God, because God created the world and is its creator.

Metatron, who disobeyed God's will, eventually led one-third of the angels, including three archangels of creation, a total of 1,333,333,333 angels, to rebel against Heaven.

On that day, the sounds of angels clashing shook the entire world. From the sky to the earth, the whole universe was ablaze with the flames of war, and blood flowed across the heavens. The many sealed monsters above and below the earth rose up in clamor, as if they wished to overturn the entire world.

Ultimately, the angels fell into the place they called "Hell"...

Earth.

……

On this day, an unusual guest arrived at the underwater temple.

On the cold throne, a dark figure whose face was obscured looked down at the demigod before him. The thirty-six fiery wings that were once as brilliant as the sun were now stained with an ominous black, and his body was soaked in blood. Even so, there was only a cold and deathly solemnity about this fallen angel.

“You have been abandoned by your God.”

This was the first thing the shadowy figure said when it saw the fallen angel.

On the throne, the shadowy figure appeared so powerful and beautiful. Every note it uttered carried an invisible force, instilling a deep sense of oppression and fear, making it almost impossible to breathe.

The fallen angel remained silent.

God no longer needed it, because God had a better alternative. Even though it had stirred up this earth-shattering rebellion, God did not care about it and did not even send the angelic legions to pursue it.

It wasn't dissatisfaction or disgust, but complete indifference, like discarding a piece of junk that was no longer needed—discard, turn away, and show no further regard.

"Stay here, and I will eventually give you what you want."

A voice filled with mesmerizing allure rang in their ears... In the end, the fallen angel legion never left Earth again; these angels, abandoned by God, became the sword in the hands of the demon Satan.

……

Meanwhile, in the ocean, the snake people also rebelled, and this time, their direct target was the former king.

"They are not one of us, they are not worthy to be our king!"

It has been too long. The offspring of the oldest humans and demons fell in love with the descendants of Adam and Eve. Yet, these two humans ruled the Serpent People's civilization for tens of thousands of years. Their inaction during the Great Flood finally provoked the Serpent People's resentment.

It's hard to imagine that the Serpent People, creatures shaped by the power of the Great Serpent and who follow a hierarchical system and revere those in the heavens, would dare to rebel against the bloodline of the Great Serpent, but they did just that.

Ultimately, Lily, the demon's daughter who had ruled the snake people for tens of thousands of years, was killed, and Cain, the son of Adam who was cursed by God, also left the ocean and disappeared without a trace.

Much later, a group of creatures calling themselves the Blood Clan appeared on the earth, with Cain as their progenitor. At the same time, there was also a group of werewolves who would transform into wolves when the moon was full. The two groups had been fighting each other since their inception, and their hatred for each other was endless, but no one knew why.

On Earth, Noah's descendants multiplied and thrived in the New World, spreading to all corners of the world. Gradually, they forgot their origins and the ancient technologies they possessed. Like a group of barbarians, they struggled to rebuild civilization amidst barbarity, leaving behind only an ancient legend.

A legend of an ancient civilization submerged by water, an ancient continent buried beneath the sea…

The civilization of Atlantis.

……

Just as spring turns to autumn and civilizations are formed again, in a region where rivers overflow, the rivers flood year after year, creating the most fertile soil in the world. A group of humans began to settle here, forming the world's oldest civilization.

These humans, aided by the overflowing rivers, eventually developed agriculture, which nurtured a large population. Sparks of wisdom collided here, giving birth to numerous philosophers and scholars. They revered the sky and worshipped the earth, believing that there were gods in the sky and gods on the earth, and that the world was full of countless gods.

They called their place "Kemite," meaning black land, while later people called it "Egypt."

Dynasties rise and fall, and civilizations are no exception. This ancient civilization established its own country and civilization when the rest of the world was still in a state of ignorance, but began to decline two thousand years later when other civilizations began to rise.

Babylonian civilization, Cretan civilization, Persian civilization, Greek civilization...

One after another, rising stars emerged, and this once world-leading civilization eventually became prey for various great empires to plunder at will. The short Greek man conquered Egypt and Persia and reached India, a place that no one could have imagined at the time. In the end, he had to return home because of his soldiers' longing for their homeland, but he eventually died of illness in his bed.

"Want my empire? Only the strongest can inherit my empire."

Because of this dying wish, a vast empire spanning thousands of miles was torn apart by the infighting among the generals. Amidst the generals' endless quarrels, a seemingly insignificant civilization quietly rose in the West.

This civilization, originating on the peninsula, with its soaring ambition, conquered countless civilizations and kingdoms along the way, clashed with the Carthaginians three times, and finally seized hegemony over the entire Mediterranean, turning the whole Mediterranean into its own inland lake...

That year, Octavian, the great Roman emperor and adopted son of Caesar, was sixty-three years old. He had ruled the Roman Empire for more than twenty-nine years, and this year marked his thirtieth year of ruling this vast empire. The entire empire was celebrating this great monarch, and everywhere was filled with a festive atmosphere.

Meanwhile, in the winter of that year, a baby boy was born into an ordinary farming family in the Syrian province of the Roman Empire…
