At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

According to rumors spread by the 'god's maids,' the goddess of the underworld fell in love, but was abandoned by a certain great god and has been imprisoned in the palace for sixty years, feeling emo.

At first, this rumor caused great anxiety among the higher-ups of the five underworlds, but as time passed and nothing happened, the underworld calmed down its unfounded speculation.

Their ruler of the underworld was simply resting. As such a powerful deity, it was normal for him to sleep for decades, or even hundreds of years.

How could I be feeling down because of a breakup? That's utterly ridiculous.

But in reality...

In the Divine Garden.

Ai Lei huddled in the pavilion surrounded by flowers, looking completely emo, her eyes somewhat vacant, holding a flower in her hand, plucking the petals one by one.

The pavilion was already covered with a layer of petals; I wonder how long she had been picking them.

"How much longer until he wakes up..."

"One million, one hundred and twenty-seven thousand one hundred and twenty-one days, one million, one hundred and twenty-seven thousand one hundred and twenty-two days..."

"He hasn't come to see me yet...he hasn't come to see me yet. He'll definitely come to see me when he wakes up...he won't come to see me when he wakes up..."

Chapter 253: Sixty Years of Change, How Did You Become a Madwoman, Istaru

Pantheon, Throne of Gods

The four god-kings of the Time and Space who were strolling around the Pantheon suddenly stopped, looked at Eden, and their figures disappeared in a flash.

After Los Saint entered a deep sleep, Ronava, Nabelis, and Asmodeus, having completed their duties, came to the Pantheon to rest. They had no interest in the various forms of entertainment in human civilization and couldn't find anything else to do for the time being.

They gradually returned to the Pantheon as gatekeepers, where they were occasionally dragged into playing cards by Buyer, and they also had to deal with Tiamat, who was equally bored and had nothing to do.

However, Istar is quite unconventional. Unless there is something important to ask her, she will never be seen. Even the other three Kage cannot find her. This time, she returned to the Pantheon and took a break from playing outside.

“Master has woken up. I wonder if the world will change,” Rona said.

“It must have been the Tree King that woke up our master. I went to check on him when he was sleeping, and he was sleeping so soundly,” Naberis said with a smile.

"I'm a little envious of the Tree King. He's been given the power to touch his master while he's asleep. We shadows can hardly even get close to him."

“It has nothing to do with this.” Asmodie glanced at Naberius: “The field of power that the master exudes when he is asleep is very strong. You need to be close to the master’s strength to get close to him.”

Since merging with Rhinedoth, Naberis has retained some of Rhinedoth's negative traits even when they are separated, making him less pure than before.

However, speaking of Rhinedoth, that guy is already condensing his divine core. Once he succeeds, he will be qualified to come to the 'Pantheon'.

"Strength close to Master's?" Ishtar yawned and said lazily, "The Tree King? Does he have one-thousandth or one-ten-thousandth of Master's strength? Master's strength is increasing every second."

"Don't overthink it. We just need to do our part. We're just shadows." Rona glanced at her three sisters, who had been getting increasingly agitated lately, with a stern face.

Since arriving in this world, they have become less and less like their former master, Fanes, and have now completely become independent gods.

“Shadows?” Naberius shook his head with a smile. “I don’t think the master sees us as shadows at all. The changes in us are quite obvious, aren’t they?”

"However, we are indeed not as favored as the Tree King and the others, and our power is indeed dispensable in front of our master."

"After all, the Tree King is the 'Great Source,' an indispensable part of the master's world."

"We are merely the holders of the two great rules governing life, death, time, and space."

“Even without us, there would be other controllers of life, death, time and space.”

“You harbor resentment, Nabe?” Ronawa frowned slightly.

“No, I’m just stating a fact.” Naberis shrugged helplessly. “Compared to my sisters, I’m less important.”

"What I can do, Tiamat can do; what I can't do, Tiamat can do even more of. Sigh."

Moreover, Tiamat always beats her to anything related to 'life', leaving her with absolutely nothing to do.

If this continues, she'll be completely ignored by her master. Sigh.

"Alright, Master is awake. We should go and pay our respects," Asmodeus said coldly.

……

the other side.

Ceres is the fifth planet in our solar system.

Ceres was completely formed more than 50 years ago and has already undergone a planetary upgrade, capable of accommodating two 'Great Power God-Kings'.

After Ceres was completed, the people of Fontaine gradually moved here and established the new city of Fontaine.

The city of Fontaine on the moon did not move away; the Fontaine people lived on both the moon and Ceres.

Over time, the Fontaines have grown to 1.7 billion on Ceres, but this population is still relatively small for a planet roughly the size of Mars.

Ceres' oceans cover 90% of the planet, with only one continent, smaller than Australia, called 'Furina'. This continent is covered by a dense network of waterways, making it a veritable water kingdom.

Because Ceres' water was modified by Navelette to allow for direct underwater breathing, it has become the most famous tourist planet in the solar system, attracting underwater enthusiasts from all over the solar system.

Ceres also has an artificial planetary ring around its atmosphere, which is a ring city that provides various services for interstellar travel and has millions of people working on the 'ring city'.

At the heart of the continent of Funina, at the center of its water network, lies the city of Fontaine, capable of housing one hundred million Fontaine people.

The art style of Fontaine is not much different from that of Teyvat, but all kinds of small spaceships travel through the city, and huge transport ships take off and land in Fontaine.

At this time, the Moman Palace, the political and cultural center of the Kingdom of Fontaine, was far larger than the one on the moon, and more like a 'city within a city', where visitors from various planets handled their affairs on Ceres.

The top floor of the Mo Mang Palace is a sky garden shrouded in water elements and unseen by anyone. It is also the residence of the God of Justice, and no one except the maidservants who are specifically there to take care of the god can enter.

"Ugh, so boring, Fucarus. When are you going to be able to advance to 'God King'? Morax from Mars has been a God King for almost sixty years." Funina lay on the waterbed, munching on a sixth-tier gourmet cake, and looked at Fucarus, who was dancing barefoot on the grass, with a bored expression.

"Then you'd better get your spirits up and start cultivating too." Fukaros sighed helplessly at Funina. "You and I are one. If we cultivate together, it's like putting in double the effort. If you slack off, it will only be half the result for me."

She was completely helpless with her other half. She was lazy, but she would still cultivate from time to time. She wasn't lazy at all; she just wanted to make Fukaros work hard.

“Cultivation…I don’t understand it.” Funina chuckled dryly. It wasn’t that she didn’t understand it, but she wasn’t that interested in cultivation. Recently, her cooking skills had become quite impressive, not much worse than those of famous chefs.

“If you don’t cultivate, it will take at least another ten years to advance to God-King,” Fukaros said, shaking her head. She had already reached the critical point of condensing 'great power' in the refinement of her divine body.

“Huh…” Fukaros, who was preparing to continue refining the divine body, paused for a moment: “Lord Tenri has awakened.”

The message "Ladder to Godhood" came to my mind.

Although she hasn't reached the 'God King' level, as a goddess who can travel to and from the Garden of Eden, she has a few privileges.

Upon hearing this, Funina suddenly perked up: "Lord Tenri has awakened?"

"Hmm, maybe something big is going to happen."

Like Fukalos, Navelette, who was busy handling planetary affairs in her office at Moman Palace, shared the same idea.

“Hmm…” After receiving the message, Navelette came to her senses but didn’t pay much attention to it. She shook her head and said, “There are more and more affairs on Ceres lately, and the population is also increasing. We need to expand the number of administrative staff.”

"If only Funina and Fucaros could lend a hand a little... Sigh, I'm feeling a bit tired..."

……

Venus

At this time, Venus also had over a billion Nata people, and its prosperity was no less than that of Mars. However, its art style was somewhat strange, being both ancient and modern, with elements of both tribal and futuristic eras.

On the highest peak of Venus, in a temple built entirely of gold and gemstones, Ishtar and Mavka are engaged in close combat.

Ishtar possesses the powers of a goddess of war, and Mavka is also a fighter; whenever the two meet, they frequently engage in sparring.

Neither side used force; it was just pure, hard-hitting punches.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Ishtar quickly shouted, grabbing Mavka's fist with one hand.

"What's wrong, Ishtar?" Mavika asked.

"Something big has happened!" Ishtar exclaimed excitedly.

"Something big?" Mavica asked, puzzled. She didn't sense anything big happening.

"That guy Los Santos woke up and caused such a big mess as soon as he woke up. He's really something else," Ishtar said excitedly, looking towards Earth.

More than 30 years ago, she was promoted to 'God King', using Venusian powers to become 'Venus God King', and became one of the top gods among the God Kings.

She had been very curious about what the rank above 'God King' was. Although she had only recently been promoted to God King, she couldn't help but think about it a lot.

"Lord of Law? Hiss... Isn't that a 'Transcendent'?!" Ishtar's cheeks flushed with excitement. A Transcendent! This is a Transcendent! Becoming a Transcendent means you can roam freely throughout the universe.

Only a handful of people have ever appeared in the Type-Moon universe as 'transcendent beings'.

"Lord of Law? Transcendent One?" Mavica looked at the excited Ishtar, completely bewildered.

“That’s a rank above God-King. You’ll understand when you, Mavica, advance to God-King,” Ishtar said proudly, waving her hand.

"The rank above God-King, I'll have to wait a long time for that," Mavica said with a smile. She is currently a top-tier main god, but as a 'human god,' her divine body is naturally weaker than that of a born demon god, and she needs to spend more time refining her divine body. It will probably take a long time.

However, she didn't have any urgent desire to become stronger; taking care of Nata was enough for her.

“Since that guy Los Saint has woken up, this goddess will go and see him.” Ishtar waved her hand arrogantly, as if Los Saint had begged her to go, but the guilt, happiness, and anticipation in her eyes were obvious.

Mavica smiled without saying a word. She wouldn't dare to call Tenri by his name so directly. Only a carefree and simple-minded 'girl' like Ishtar would be so bold.

Although Ishtar was older than her, she saw Ishtar as no different from a little girl.

After Tenri fell into slumber, Ishtar secretly went to the underworld, disguised herself as a 'god's maid', and spread rumors there, infuriating the goddess of the underworld.

In the end, he was caught by the goddess of the underworld, dragged to her garden, stripped naked, hung up, and whipped.

She was finally left hanging in the pavilion for a whole year before being released.

Only she, who happened to be discussing matters related to the Lesser Underworld with the goddess of the underworld at the time, knew about this.

The underworld is the domain of the goddess of the underworld, who is also a high-ranking and powerful god-king. Even outside the underworld, she can easily defeat you. Why did you provoke her?

Ishtar is someone who never learns from mistakes; she keeps repeating the same errors without ever correcting or reflecting on them—she's just a stubborn fool.

……

Garden of Eden

"Owner."

Ronava, Naberius, Asmodée, and Ishtar appeared before Los Santos and bowed slightly, their eyes filled with a visible adoration.

"No need for so many rules," Luo Sheng said casually, waving his hand.

The four of them were Phanes's shadows. Once they 'betrayed' him, it meant that they loved their new master more than themselves. They would not hesitate to die for their new master. The four of them could be considered his 'family'.

"You guys have fun, I'm going to check out the changes in the world over the past sixty years," Luo Sheng said with a smile, then vanished from the four shadows' sight in a flash.
