Do you all know the future?

Chapter 162 Time Looking Back
"Do you think the goddess of victory will let you off the hook if you ascend to godhood like this? You have lost the reincarnation of the sun god."

The Earth Mother Goddess spoke seductively, her tone gentle, as if she were considering the head maid's well-being, but in reality, it was a test she had no other choice but to take.

The plan was to disrupt the head maid's mind so that he could find an opportunity to suppress her and cause her to fail in her ascension to godhood.

After all, she had successfully ascended to godhood, and with the current strength of her clone, she couldn't hold back the head maid who had also successfully ascended to godhood.

"..."

The head maid was clearly unaffected by her; her silver eyes were filled with determination and indifference, and her rising aura showed no sign of slowing down.

"It's a real pity. Your ascension ceremony will damage your foundation and prevent you from progressing further. Do you really want to insist on this?"

The Earth Mother Goddess changed her tune and continued to probe the head maid. The head maid was not in a hurry, but Queen Fafia, who was watching from the side, was anxious.

"Don't listen to her nonsense, don't listen to her nonsense, she has no good intentions..."

Queen Fafia hurriedly tried to remind her, but before she could finish, the Earth Mother silenced her. The Earth Mother's smile turned cold and menacing.

"Isn't that so? Your laws belong to the goddess of victory, right? She controls your life and death. Let her know that you have lost the reincarnation of the sun god. If you don't ascend to godhood, perhaps I can help you!"

The Earth Mother smiled and offered a possibility, as if she wasn't the one who had tried to strangle the head maid.

"Woooo..."

Queen Fafia, suppressed by the Earth Mother Goddess, struggled to make a sound, but it was as if her throat was being choked.

However, none of their actions affected the head maid. The head maid's abundant divine power caused the magic circle to vibrate, and the Earth Mother Goddess's smile became increasingly stiff.

"Once you ascend to godhood, it will be difficult to extract the laws. You still have the opportunity to change your allegiance, so don't ruin your life!"

At this moment, the Earth Mother Goddess was also conflicted, as the magic array she manipulated served more to suppress space.

The divine power of the magic circle cannot affect the head maid now, but if the magic circle is dispelled and a direct attack is launched, there is a risk that the head maid will escape using the laws of space.

The Earth Mother Goddess found herself in a dilemma, weighing the pros and cons, but her hesitation caused her to miss the best time to intervene.

Quantitative change leads to qualitative change. The head maid's divine power reached its limit, and cracks appeared in the magic circle formed by the runes. The power of the gods was beyond the norm in the material world.

"Fine, the reincarnation of the sun god is in my hands!"

Realizing she couldn't stop the head maid from ascending to godhood, the Earth Mother Goddess gave up, comforting herself with the thought that her gains were already great enough, having obtained the reincarnation of the Sun God.

The head maid is not a god descended from heaven, so killing her wouldn't affect the goddess of victory. As someone from a divine position relative to the supreme god, there's no reason for her to be killed.

"What a hassle. If you keep courting death like this, the goddess of victory won't let you off the hook."

The Earth Mother Goddess raised her hand to reinforce the magic array. If she couldn't defeat her opponent, she would at least trap her to prevent the head maid from causing any more trouble.

"Give me back my master!"

The head maid murmured these words. In this out-of-control situation, her mind was only focused on Diane's safety, leaving no room for any other information, let alone refuting the Earth Mother's flawed provocations.

"The reincarnation of the sun god? Let your chief god come and demand it."

The Earth Mother Goddess couldn't figure out if the other party had lost their mind. In this situation, they were still thinking about the reincarnation of the Sun God. However, it didn't stop her from declaring her victory at this moment: Diane, the reincarnation of the Sun God, had been obtained by her.

The believers of the Church of the Sun felt a pang of shame and despair, and they did not believe that the head maid's ascension to godhood could bring about any change.

Once demigods become subordinate gods, they will soon be absorbed by the spirit realm. With the Earth Mother Goddess present, even the head maid cannot save them, as if everything has settled down.

Believers who understood this matter had different opinions, and this little episode did not change their situation, so the story returned to its starting point.

The surrender faction surrendered, perhaps because the enemy was too strong, or perhaps because their original purpose in joining the Church of the Sun God was not pure. Under the test of the Lord God, those who could not withstand the test surrendered.

"Archbishop, I am loyal to the Sun God!"

"Me too, I pledge allegiance to the sun god."

"..."

The few voices that mingled were not many, but they disgusted the followers of the Sun God. Most of them would rather die than submit, but a small number of believers did not have a resolute attitude, and this attitude disgusted the others.

"Traitors, you will all die a horrible death..."

Zhengwu was furious and scolded them. The person being scolded didn't speak, turned their head away and pretended not to hear, and didn't argue with Zhengwu and the others. They were still a little ashamed. Of course, those who weren't ashamed didn't want to get entangled with people like Zhengwu who were destined to die.

"This is called knowing the situation. What can you change if you don't submit? Your laws were all given by the Lord. The Lord gave you opportunities. Otherwise, how could you have achieved what you have today? The Lord graciously allows you to continue to believe in the Sun God, yet you don't cherish it!"

The archbishop sneered, using this as a cover for those who had surrendered, speaking with righteous indignation as if the one controlling the believers with the laws was not the Earth Mother Goddess.

"That's just sophistry, you're like a rat in a burrow!"

A sense of power over form compels people to immediately express their opinions. Originally, they were the ones being scolded, but now, both Noon and Dusk were filled with a thousand kinds of anger, yet they couldn't vent it at this moment.

The archbishop couldn't call him a traitor, since he wasn't a member of the Church of the Sun God to begin with. The only insult he could find was this.

"In the end, wasn't it with your help that the sun god became the master? If you hadn't led the reincarnation of the sun god into the trap, it would have been quite difficult for us to obtain the reincarnation of the sun god, because with the protection of the goddess of victory, it wouldn't have been easy to make a move."

The archbishop was quite pleased with himself for his shamelessness and became even more fearless. After all, he was now the victor and could mock his opponents to his heart's content. This was the organization he had always maintained, which had brought him so much credit.

"you……"

Noon and Dusk were at a loss for words to refute, while Queen Fafia was trembling with anger, only unable to speak because she was silenced by the Earth Mother Goddess, otherwise she would definitely not have said anything nice.

"This is your last chance. With your abilities, it's not impossible for you to go further with the Lord's help!"

The archbishop earnestly advised, after all, Queen Fafia, Dusk, and Noon were indeed quite talented and good people for the church.

If the church of the Earth Mother Goddess could be absorbed, it would be an enhancement for the Earth Mother Goddess, and the archbishop also wanted to show himself before the Lord God.

"Just kill us then! I will not be a lackey of you false gods. What Mother Earth? She is not worthy of my loyalty!"

Huang Hun said defiantly that if she had the ability to commit suicide, she would have already done so; or rather, if she had the will to do so, she would have already confronted the archbishop who had deceived her for so long.

“Insulting the Lord, you…” “Alright, they’re just a bunch of dead people. There’s no need to argue with them. It was their foolish choice, and I don’t accept stupid people.”

The Earth Mother gently intervened, saying that it was perfectly normal that she couldn't persuade die-hards like Dusk and Noon to surrender. Since they weren't prepared to become her people, she didn't intend to keep them around.

The Earth Mother Goddess slightly raised her hand, and with a gentle squeeze of her fair jade hand, Dusk and Noon's bodies convulsed. The laws were peeling away the bodies of these demigods, and the intense pain triggered a physical reaction in the believers.

"what……"

Many people cried out in pain, not only from physical pain but also from mental anguish, as if their souls were being torn apart.

Even the main god couldn't bear it. When the head maid cut the moon god's laws, the moon god screamed in pain, let alone these demigods.

The Earth Mother Goddess didn't have a penchant for tormenting people; she just wanted to show off. After all, she had planned so hard for so long and gained so much, and she always wanted others to know about her victory.

Now that she's shown off enough, it's time to wrap things up. She wants to cleanly and decisively harvest these demigods and angels to whom she has planted her laws, and end this imperfect drama.

Sensing the power of the laws within everyone's bodies, and as that power was being extracted, the Earth Mother was already thinking about how to "persuade" Diane, her heart filled with impatience.

Time passed second by second, but the laws that should have separated them from the crowd did not, as if the movements of the Earth Mother Goddess had stopped.

The Earth Mother tilted her head, her loving eyes also showing confusion. It wasn't that she had stopped; she could still feel the laws she was connected to, but they seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't extract them.

This strange situation immediately alerted the Earth Mother Goddess, who turned to look at the head maid trapped in the magic circle.

The scene astonished the Earth Mother Goddess; the magic array that had been trapping and controlling the head maid was dissipating, and the power of the laws of space was expanding.

No, it's not dissolving. The Earth Mother Goddess keenly sensed the problem. It wasn't being destroyed, but rather being reversed, returning to the state before the magic circle was activated.

"what is this?"

As the power of the laws permeated the Earth Mother Goddess, she sensed an unfamiliar force, unlike any law she had encountered before.

"What do you want to do?"

The unknown brings fear, and the Earth Mother's tone became solemn. Fortunately, her current body is only an avatar, not the main god's true form. The Earth Mother felt she could still risk checking the situation. If she were in her true form, she might have already run away.

However, she already sensed an instinctive sense of unease, her heart warning her. She tried to use her divine power to control the magic circle, but found that the magic circle was like a law that could not command others. She could sense the activity of the magic circle, but she had no way to control it.

"Find my master!"

The head maid stared directly at the Earth Mother Goddess, her eyes, filled with spatial divine power, gleaming with silver light, and her tone, each word deliberate and forceful, was oppressive.

“I have already transferred the reincarnation of the Sun God. Come to my divine kingdom to find him.”

The Earth Mother Goddess did not back down in the face of this oppressive feeling. She had the pride of a chief god and would not allow herself to show weakness to a subordinate god.

No matter how powerful the head maid is, she is still just a subordinate god. If a new god comes, she might consider running away or submitting, but being just a head maid is far from enough.

"Have we truly arrived in your divine realm?"

The magic array that had been trapping the head maid was extinguished, leaving it in an unactivated state. The head maid's spatial laws expanded, and the shattered space emitted a crackling sound like breaking glass.

"You wouldn't be thinking of using the laws of space to pull him back, would you? Tell your master that he's mine now. If you want to unite with other gods, then come on!"

The Earth Mother Goddess fearlessly declared war; she was prepared to fight the gods and now offered her no way to back down or make peace.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

The head maid said softly, before the Earth Mother could explain how to guard against the laws of space, the head maid could not take Diane back, her expression suddenly changed.

"What did you do? What kind of power is this? No, what kind of power is this...?"

Gone was the composure befitting a noblewoman; the Earth Mother Goddess looked astonished, as if she had seen something incomprehensible, making it difficult for her to maintain her image of absolute control.

The change in environment did not stop with her shock; a swirling ripple appeared in front of the head maid, just like the ripple that had caused Diane to disappear.

But for the Earth Mother Goddess, it wasn't just like, it was. Just as she could sense the connection between herself and the magic array, she could also sense the connection between herself and this rippled teleportation array, yet she couldn't control the direction of the teleportation array.

Diane's figure was thrown out of the teleportation array and slammed hard into the head maid's arms. Diane was still a little dazed.

"Margaret, what just happened to me?"

Diane felt dizzy and then everything went dark. She vaguely saw a beautiful woman with ram's horns who wanted to pull Diane into her arms. But soon after, she felt dizzy again and opened her eyes to find the head maid in a gentle and tender embrace.

"It's alright now, Master. You were almost kidnapped by that bad woman, but thankfully I managed to get you back!"

The head maid finally smiled and hugged Diane tightly. Diane felt like she couldn't breathe, probably because she had found her treasure again.

"Ah, bad woman, what bad woman?"

Diane was clearly confused about the situation; his perspective was limited and he didn't have any useful information.

"This is the power of time! You've reversed time! You, a mere god, have actually reversed time!"

The wicked woman jumped out. The Earth Mother Goddess was, after all, a chief goddess. She quickly realized what power the head maid was wielding. But understanding what the head maid's power was turned her confusion into horror, as if she saw a monkey lifting a boulder that even machinery could hardly move.

Her chilling words also stirred up the onlookers. The power of time—they had never heard of it before, nor had they ever heard of such a deity. Yet, the power of time manifested itself at this moment, leaving them all stunned and speechless.

"Without reversing time, how can we bring our master back? Now that our master is back, have you thought about how you will leave?"

The head maid revealed a cruel and fierce expression, gently patting Diane's back to comfort her while uttering threatening words.

"You've already ascended to godhood, how long can you stay here? Can't you feel the attraction of the spiritual realm to you?"

The Earth Mother remained calm and composed. Despite being shaken by the power of time, she did not forget the current circumstances. Her plan had failed, but she still had leverage.

"Master, take a rest for now, and I'll deal with this bad woman."

The head maid pulled Diane behind her, clenching her fists; a fight was about to break out.
