The survivors were deeply moved; although they couldn't witness that tumultuous history, it didn't stop them from imagining the sheer horror.

What kind of history was that, and how long did the Protoss fight?

What kind of power, what kind of evil, could defeat the gods?

The fleet in the shelter had witnessed the power of the "Patrolman" firsthand, and many warships had recorded it on video. Now, a considerable number of people in the shelter have seen the video.

This is truly terrifying power; a single strike could cause the heavens and the earth to collapse. The myth of the Nirbo people, where the Kataki open their eyes and destroy stars, even if there are elements of exaggeration by the ancients, is very likely not unfounded.

Such a race of celestial deities, where even a single individual is so powerful, must have many enemies...

Thinking of this, some wise elders from various tribes felt a chill in their hearts.

Devourers, these insane cosmic species, are inherently abnormal. Once they reach a basic level of civilization, regardless of whether they venture beyond their planet, no intelligent species will consume other intelligent species.

But the Devourer race lives up to its name. Not only are the beastly monsters bad, but even the civilized forms are bloodthirsty. During the planetary wars, Devourer soldiers can often be seen pouncing on and tearing at the bodies of various races.

They are diverse and not of the same kind, yet they are filled with a cruel, predatory desire and will morbidly destroy life-bearing planets.

Some survivors, during their escape, saw some life-bearing planets destroyed by the devourers. These were desolate and withered worlds, worse than even the most barren rogue planets. It was hard to imagine that they were once cherished cradles of life.

There is only one possibility that points directly to the truth: the Devourers, or Devouring Monsters, are the pawns of the gods' mortal enemies.

Their existence is solely for the purpose of annihilating life; they have no other meaning whatsoever!

Yes, the vanguard, all the survivors, especially the warship soldiers, do not believe that the Devourer is qualified to be an enemy of the Protoss on its own. Just think about those cosmic dust particles, at least those they have seen so far are not qualified.

In his wild thoughts, under the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere deliberately influenced by Jupiter, a rudimentary concept of an evil that spreads across the universe and is chilling and twisted exists in his mind.

Just as all the survivors were feeling cold and panicked, Jupiter's voice rang in their hearts once again.

"Don't be afraid, children."

"The power of evil is indeed formidable; even the Star Gods were once defeated..."

"But the darkness before dawn is about to pass! The gods have begun to awaken!"

The message had been transmitted here, and Void Explorer Jupiter completely changed the somber atmosphere he had just created.

Its boundless body emitted faint starlight, illuminating this once desolate star field as if it had regained the light of a star.

A warm power arose in the hearts of all the survivors.

Jupiter's mental tremor suddenly intensified.

"The power of order will return once more. This time, we will not be unprepared. This time, we will bring fear back to evil after countless years!"

"The universe is eternal! Life is everlasting! The oath of the Star Gods will never change!"

At that moment, the radiance emanating from Jupiter illuminated the hearts of every survivor.

The elderly Xington priest Longlongal was deeply moved, as if he had been given a second spring.

He pulled a commemorative pen from his pocket, tore off the cover of his treasured Gospel, and wrote a passage on the blank space on the back with force and solemnity.

The New Century Apocalypse: At that moment, the light of hope appeared!

Longlong Al felt that this was his mission as a priest who survived the apocalypse. He would surely spread the message to thousands of households in the future, and be a devout saint who faced the gods in the new era!

The survivors from other races were equally excited. No matter how desperate they had been, no matter if there was an abyss ahead, at least at this moment, they had the confidence to survive and continue.

It's unclear who started it, but it spread from warships to civilian ships and various shelters.

Different races, different cultures, different body types.

The restrained silence was broken.

People started cheering, from whispers to shouts, until it turned into a noisy outburst.

This is a feeling that remains in historical records; it's like a festival.

...

What happened next was quite simple. The seed had been planted in their hearts, and Jupiter no longer explained many things. Moreover, "mortals" were unlikely to pry into the lives of the gods in the present world.

Driven by their reverence for the gods and the trust built up with astonishing efficiency, they believed that the gods' reluctance to share too much detail with them must be for protection or some other reason. In any case, it couldn't be to harm them. If that were the case, there was no need for trouble; they could be easily wiped out by the gods' inspectors.

In the ensuing brief exchanges, Jupiter learned everything about the so-called "devourers" and "devouring beasts" from the various races.

Their habits, their locations, their species.

Survivors from all races did their utmost to contribute the information they had recorded and remembered, even going so far as to try to connect to the machine and transmit it directly to the "Eye of Greatness" with a spirit of scavenging.

In several known versions of the myth, this figure is a symbol of both evil and wisdom, a pathfinder for the gods.

Through their exchanges, they gradually came to understand that the gods were not entirely as described in the religious and religious accounts of various civilizations in the past.

Exaggeration is common among ancient peoples of various ethnic groups, but it is generally not too far removed from the facts, perhaps due to misunderstandings caused by a low level of civilization.

It is true that the Star Gods are the maintainers of order, but not all of them are true gods. True gods are born from the Star Gods, and the Star Gods are the birthplace of gods.

That's why there's the saying "Star God Clan".

While the true god is undoubtedly powerful, the entire Star God Race is the true cornerstone of the cosmic order.

Nevertheless, in the hearts of the surviving races, all members of the Star God Clan were also placed in the position of "gods".

Regardless of their lineage or individual strength, all the gods undoubtedly possess genuine divine blood. They share a common mission and a common goal, fighting for a shared oath from the beginning of the universe to Ragnarok, until their fall.

Any one of them is qualified to be called a "god," and no one dares or would question that.

At the same time, they were even more excited to realize that they could actually help, at least to the Star Gods. Civilizations that have entered the universe are not ignorant; although their knowledge is limited, they can still contribute a small amount of strength to the restoration of order.

It could be resource exploration, information gathering, or intelligence communication with the universe.

At the very least, it can spread the good news of the gods' return to other civilizations struggling in unknown corners of the world.

...

In this enthusiastic and exciting atmosphere, Wu You, far away on Earth, received a system notification.

System notification: The sealed mission "Enemy in the Light, We in the Dark" is activated.

Mission objective: Collect as much information as possible about the aberrant organisms, transform natural life forms into a life network in the endless void, lead the struggle of life, collect biological materials, and accumulate power.

Wu You was leisurely browsing through a long list of collected alien belief cultures and interesting legends in his mind.

Intelligent races have generally evolved from a primitive state of eating raw meat and drinking blood. They share many common beliefs and cultural symbols, such as the connection between fire and eyes, stars and celestial bodies, water, earth, lightning, and so on.

This gave Wu You a lot of room to maneuver.

But the appearance of this task prompt immediately woke him up.
