It's time to become an evil god.

A gunshot forcibly altered the trajectory of the trident, causing it to fall vertically to the ground, just centimeters away from the sky and the tyrant.

Tianyu the Tyrant raised his head, looking at the man in front of him with a puzzled expression, and asked in shock, "Why are you completely unharmed?"

The ancient god Nordens disdainfully pulled the Kusanagi sword from his forehead and said coldly, "Haven't you heard of the mysterious hierarchy?"

"A mysterious hierarchy?"

The Heavenly Tyrant was completely baffled, and the other players were also hearing this name for the first time.

The Old God Nordens explained, “Gods born from human civilization and faith belong to the realm of religious deities. They exist only within human culture. In other words, if humanity were to perish, these false gods would also cease to exist. Their mystical hierarchy is lower than that of gods born from all things in nature. Outer gods, on the other hand, are the embodiment of the supreme laws of the universe.”

"Your tools can kill human gods, but they can't kill me, unless parts of your tools are made from Outer Gods or Great Old Ones themselves. The damage your tools inflict on me is only -1 HP. Do you understand now?"

Everyone was stunned. They had thought these items would be enough to severely damage the god, but they hadn't expected that they couldn't do anything to harm him at all.

"It seems there's only one path left to take."

All eyes turned to Bai Ge, who was rushing towards the falling meteor in the distance. A huge mecha warrior appeared in the sky, its vector thrusters on its shoulders emitting a dazzling light. Its entire body radiated a thunderous light, tearing through the sea like a falling meteor and bringing down divine punishment.

Aseus, the Spear of Godslayer, raised his arm, the Divine Annihilation Thunder Cannon in his palm gathering power, its increasingly brilliant light aimed at the Death Meteor before him. Having broken through the limitations of the control panel, Bai Ge was now fully able to control the gathered divine power. He concentrated the torrent of divine power from the Lord of Imagination within him, transforming it into armor that enveloped the Spear of Godslayer. This armor served two purposes: firstly, to resist the erosion of the equally torrent of divine power from the Sea of ​​Sky; and secondly, to seize the opportunity and charge directly at the Death Meteor. His goal was not to destroy the Death Meteor, but to deplete its power to the same level as the half-resurrected Old God Nordens.

The dazzling light that erupted from the palm of his hand shot directly toward the direction of the death meteor. It hit the meteor almost instantly. The forces of the same origin collided, and combined with the God-Slaying Spear mech's God-Destroying Thunder and Fire, the dazzling meteor shattered into countless fragments, but it still rushed toward the opposite direction of the old god Nordens.

"It's no use, as long as I..."

However, before Nordens could finish speaking, he suddenly found himself unable to move.

"How could that be?"

Only then did he notice that there were many unusual tiny particles in the air, but these particles were so small that they were like ants on a flat surface and could be easily ignored.

"You wouldn't believe it, would you? Even the highest gods can be tricked."

A cloud of gray mist condensed before the Old God. Xiong Duoduo stuck out his tongue at the Old God, making a mischievous face. After removing all restrictions, he pushed the power of the gray mist skill to its limit. Originally just a support role to scout for the team, he unexpectedly transformed into a deadly, disruptive assassin.

"Although the time was short, only one second."

The features formed by the condensed smoke showed a pained expression, and he said softly, "But one second is enough."

A second passed in the blink of an eye. The smoke binding the old god Nordens suddenly exploded. Xiong Duoduo turned around and gave an OK sign to the Heaven and Tyrant behind him. The smoke gradually dissipated. The last thing that remained on his face was a smiling expression.

"I'll go first; the task of saving the world rests on you guys."

The Tyrant's lips twitched, he gave a self-deprecating laugh, and gripped the Kusanagi Sword tightly in his hand.

"How embarrassing to be looked down upon by a little kid."

With only seconds left before the fatal meteor's descent, and Arceus, hampered by the surging divine sea high in the sky, was unable to use the ancient relic, the Holy Lance, for instant teleportation. The Heavenly Tyrant had no choice but to take the plunge. He pulled a green magatama from his pocket.

The final, perfect-level item: [Yata no Magatama]

[Characteristic: Actively drains all of the caster's life force and deals damage to the target. The difference in damage is based on half of the power difference between the caster and the target.]

[P.S.: JOJO, this is my last Ripple, please accept it!]

After the Magatama was activated, there was no effect of gods and spirits weeping. Instead, the body of the Heavenly Tyrant aged rapidly, his skin wrinkled all over his body, age spots grew rapidly on his face, and his hair and teeth fell out one after another. In less than a second, the Magatama absorbed all his life force and turned him into a withered corpse. After losing his life force, the Heavenly Tyrant was like a kite swaying in a storm, maintaining the international friendly gesture he had made to the old gods before his death, and lightly disappeared into the surging sky and sea of ​​gods.

The Yatagarasu Magatama, absorbing all life force, flashed continuously, like a star expanding in its breath, before exploding.

The explosion of the Yatagarasu was silent; only a cold light continued to spread. The outer shockwave dispersed the waters of the divine sea, creating a vacuum zone in front of the ancient god Nordens. The ancient god, who had been trying to escape the meteor shower, was frozen in place for two seconds by the explosion.

The Old God Nordens was right; unless the power of the Outer Gods is used, the Old Gods cannot be harmed in the slightest.

But that doesn't mean that these ants, despised by the gods, can't hinder the other side.

Even the smallest firefly is a shining star in the darkest night!

After the explosion of the Yatagarasu Magatama disappeared, the Death Meteor had arrived. The Old God Nordens had no ability to move it, so he could only grit his teeth, raise his trident, and plunge it into the largest burning meteor.

"I told you, no one can stop the resurrection of the Old Gods!"

However, before he could finish speaking, a cold voice rang in his ear from behind the meteorite.

How many flights of stairs do you have to carry a bag of rice up?

Chapter 548 I've arrived in Skyrim Province?

The deity seemed to understand the meaning of those words and subconsciously replied with a sentence.

"What?!"

The brief distraction caused the Old God Nordens to lose focus, and the trident, which was preparing to shatter the meteorite, paused for a moment, revealing its fatal weakness. When Nordens shattered the death meteor, what he saw was not a miraculous escape from death, but the God-Destroying Thunderfire aimed at his forehead.

You can't kill me!

Even the once aloof gods lost their composure at this moment. With the divine power of the God-Slaying Thunderfire and the divine power drawn from Lawrence the Star Eater's Death Meteor, Nordens, who had only recovered half of his power, had only one fate.

All the forces will be scattered once again!

"You have no idea how long we ancient gods have waited for this opportunity. With the shattering of the Dream Realm and the destruction of the ancient gods, the self-salvation of all the ancient gods and all living beings on Earth will fail."

"You can also figure out something else, Mr. Old God Nordens. The Evolution Game you created by stealing the laws of the universe has completely gone out of control. It—no, I should say—possesses its own set of operating rules. The various constraints set by the so-called Old Gods are merely shackles binding the Evolution Game. I have previously carried out missions to kill Nuo God and destroy the Buddhist Kingdom, but now it seems that the Evolution Game is using players to gradually open its authority through god-slaying. However, players have no choice but to follow the route set by the Evolution Game, after all, the rewards it gives for the missions are too generous."

"Impossible. This is just a selection mechanism for the Old Gods to rebel against the Outer Gods. It is impossible for them to develop self-awareness."

You're wrong.

Bai Ge continued to explain, "It has laid the groundwork for billions of years, how could it willingly be just a pawn? The game itself, as the administrator, has no ability to interfere with the game's progress, but it has a constant stream of players. Even if it cannot kill the god now, with enough attempts, it can always find a way to slay the god. No wonder the initial missions are all ambiguous objectives, while the objectives become clearer as the game progresses. These are all laws that previous players have discovered through bloodshed."

The ancient god Nordens fell silent for a long time before slowly speaking, "So, my resurrection was just a conspiracy of the evolution game?"

Nordens put down his trident, seemingly accepting his inevitable fate. He stared coldly at Bai Ge and said, word by word, "It's alright, we'll meet again. And... this will mean that all the Old Gods will be fully revived, and they will step out of the Dream Realm and appear in the real world!"

The Old God Nordens suddenly revealed a meaningful smile. He didn't speak, but stared straight at the other party, gave up resisting, and opened his arms.

As soon as the words left his mouth, the Divine Annihilation Thunder and Fire struck the face of the Old God Nordens. With the combined power of Lawrence the Devourer of Stars and the human God-Slaying Spear, Nordens' head was severed, and his massive body fell to the ground. The Sky Sea, deprived of divine power, transformed into a torrential flood, pouring down from the sky and submerging the entire land beneath its feet.

As Bai Ge watched this scene, the story of Nuwa mending the sky suddenly came to mind. A startling thought arose deep within him.

Could it be that the myths recorded by human civilization are actually about the bloody struggle between ancient gods and outward gods?

Before he could think any further, the notification sound of the mission ending rang in his ears. Bai Ge transformed into a ball of light and disappeared into the torrential rain and mist.

A blinding light kept irritating his eyelids. When Bai Ge opened his eyes again, he found himself floating in the depths of space, with a dazzling nebula beneath his feet.

Just as my gaze settled on the nebula, a violent cosmic storm swept by, carrying dust, hydrogen, helium, and other ionized gases that spread and impacted in all directions.

Although Bai Ge was only floating in the depths of the illusory universe as a soul, he could still feel a strong sense of impact.

When he looked into the depths of the nebula again, a huge, irregularly shaped black mist appeared at the very center, like a black hole celestial body that devoured everything. The darkness, from which even light could not escape, seemed out of place with the bright stars around it.

Bai Ge noticed that the irregularly shaped black mist was gradually dissipating at an extremely slow speed, with a small portion breaking off and escaping directly through the nebula, disappearing into the depths of the universe.

Lawrence the Star Eater is trapped deep within the Starstorm.

Just as the name came to mind, a faint thought pierced through the many obstacles of the Star Sea Storm and appeared in his mind.

"So...you...were...here..."

Even a faint thought entered his mind, and Bai Ge's body remained stiff and unable to move. Although he had obtained a portion of the divine essence, when facing the true form of a god, a mere living person had no way to defy the supreme will.

"Make a...wish..."

"It can... grant... your wish..."

Making a wish before an Outer God is no different from making a deal with the devil and selling one's soul. After thinking for a moment, Bai Ge said softly, "I need all your power to win the final victory in the Evolution Game."

However, even the gods seem to have their limits, and the thoughts that were transmitted again became even weaker.

"Change...to one..."

At this moment, Bai Ge's fingers were able to move slightly. After thinking for a moment, he made a second request: "I want to create a two-dimensional world without pain in this world."

This time, no sound echoed in my mind.

Bai Ge frowned. "Is there a limit to the number of times one can communicate with the Devourer of Stars?"

However, the next moment, an extremely weak thought entered his mind.

"The two-dimensional world...can't do it, but the power...is...your...choose...to...you...win..."

Bai Ge's words were like opening a Pandora's box. A vortex-shaped nebula shrouded in a huge black mist was forcibly cleaved open, and a tentacle that seemed to span several light-years appeared in front of Bai Ge. At its end, it transformed into a withered black hand, and the fingertip extended to his face, gently touching his brow.

Bai Ge suddenly opened her eyes, her head still foggy. She was sitting in her seat as the car bumped along. There were several other people sitting around her. Seeing that Bai Ge was awake, they said softly, "You're awake?"

"What's wrong?"

Bai Ge wiped his drool, looked around at the curious gazes with a bewildered expression, and asked in confusion, "Am I in Skyrim Province?"

Chapter 549 The Seventy-Two Goddesses and the Mountain God Reappear

Upon hearing this, several people looking at Bai Ge gave him strange looks, hesitating to speak. Just then, a system notification sounded in their ears.

[Congratulations, host, on successfully eliminating the Old God Nordens and proceeding to the next battle royale mission.]

[Mission Details: You are a folklore scholar and historical archaeologist participating in a field study project on the Yuanshen Village cultural site organized by the Eastern Scientific Expedition. There are three other players in the instance who are also participating in the mission, but their information is no longer displayed in this battle royale mission.]

[Three hints can be obtained from the outstanding mission rewards in the previous battle royale in this instance mission.]

[Clue 1: There is a ritual in Genshin Impact Village that outsiders cannot participate in]

[Clues 2: A horrific incident occurred in Genshin Impact Village, but the villagers are tight-lipped and refuse to speak about it.]

[Clue 3: Village Chief Ding is greedy; this can be used as a breakthrough point]

Bai Ge stared at the clue panel, lost in thought. He hadn't even recovered from the previous battle with the gods. The contrast was like being chatting and laughing in a Michelin-starred restaurant one second, and then watching Lao Ba from the island city shouting "Oli Gei, let's do it, brothers!" in the toilet the next.

"Professor Bai."

A smiling man approached and sat in the empty seat next to Bai Ge. He lowered his voice and whispered, "Mr. Bai, is your idea about the connection between the longevity of the villagers of Yuanshan Village and the myths mentioned in your book 'The Inheritance of the Divine Culture of Yuanshan Village' based on fact or just fiction?"

Bai Ge scanned the man before him. Although he appeared healthy and radiant, his eyes betrayed a sickly weariness. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Li, before conducting a thorough investigation, you shouldn't have too high hopes. However..."

Bai Ge paused for a moment, and the other person immediately perked up their ears and asked softly, "But what?"

Bai Ge whispered in my ear, "However, I have some evidence that needs clues. Once the evidence is found, all the clues can be solved."

"Shhh."

Boss Li's expression changed slightly. He quickly interrupted Bai Ge, glanced at the others around him, and said softly, "Keep your voice down."

Through the ensuing conversation, Bai Ge gradually came to understand the identities of several people. This Mr. Li was a real estate developer who, under the guise of developing a hot spring tourism project, was actually terminally ill with cancer and had staked all his hopes on shady dealings. The tall, robust man sitting to his left was Da Zhuang, his bodyguard and driver who had been with him for many years. There was also Wang Bai, the local guide he had hired, and the other two were college students Jiang Xian and Yu Lin, who had come together to conduct an environmental survey in the village.

The van was parked at the entrance of the remote Genshin Impact village. Bai Ge was a little curious as to why Boss Li, who had cancer, didn't choose to take his own car but instead suffered in a shady taxi. Although his eyes showed signs of fatigue and illness, his gait was no different from that of a normal person.
