Cao Ya smiled.

“God, Your Majesty, it’s truly… I’ve heard so much about you.” he said softly.

Although he spoke softly, his movements were extremely swift.

The sword energy swirled and pierced through countless spaces, striking the two ancient pillars.

Buzz...

A certain special Daoist aura emanated, affecting the sword energy, causing it to either disappear into thin air or be stolen.

A pillar-level existence, infinitely close to the primordial state, possessing near-five-star power within the [Lord of Mysteries] universe!

Moreover, they wield multiple powers and possess extraordinary abilities.

For example, God corresponds to the dreamer, the white tower, the tyrant, the hanged man, and the sun, while the celestial being corresponds to the fool, error, and the door.

These powers are all original divisions.

It already possessed a trace of divine power at the peak of the fifth level!

Sequence zero may not be fully usable yet, and even Outer Gods might be barely usable.

However, the pillar level is clearly sufficient to use it to the fullest extent, almost comparable to the original rebirth.

In fact, these two pillars should not have woken up at this point in time.

There was no suitable candidate.

The ancient sun god is gone, and Adam, the Hanged Man, the Eternal Sun, the Lord of Storms, and the Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom are not quite what is required.

Similarly, no new Fools, Errors, or Gates appeared; the highest level was only Sequence One.

However, after a violent threat appeared, the scattered will in the darkness regrouped and had to immediately choose an angel to be reborn in its body.

So they were revived in the bodies of the Dark Angel and the Dark Wolf respectively, and took their place, reappearing in the world!

Choosing someone else might mean having a better foundation, but it could also lead to stronger resistance.

In this critical moment, they cannot afford to be distracted.

Otherwise, we will completely lose the initiative!

The Dark Wolf is only Sequence Two, while the Dark Angel has long been corrupted by God, which saves a lot of trouble.

Although Klein is a suitable candidate, the problem is...

First, Klein is relatively weak, only at Sequence 3. Second, protected by Cao Ya, his defenses are impregnable. Even a Celestial Venerable cannot cross Cao Ya's barrier to usurp Klein's power.

Originally, Adam was not under the protection of Tsaoah, and God had the intention of taking his life.

However, Adam resisted fiercely, and 0-08 displayed his power. God then had a better option, the Dark Angel. After a little thought, God naturally chose to have it appear in the latter's body.

"Buzzing..."

In the land forsaken by the gods, colorful divine light flowed, and on the earth, two majestic figures appeared, their divine power surging and resounding throughout the universe.

Angels within the realm, gods of the celestial realm, the seven lights of the spirit realm, outer gods of the universe...

All powerful beings are able to sense the aura of the two ancient pillars.

It shook the heavens and the earth!

Awe-inspiring in all directions!

"God……"

Adam, the true Creator, the eternal sun, the lord of storms, and the god of knowledge and wisdom—these five powerful beings, along with the other angels from the five pathways, all gazed at God with solemn expressions.

Similarly, the angels of the "Fool" pathway, including Klein, as well as Amon and Palles Zoroaster of the other two pathways, all concealed their auras and dared not provoke the Celestials.

Even a dead Celestial Venerable is someone to be wary of.

Besides, it has now been resurrected!

"Who could have imagined that this war would lead to this? Both of the old pillars have been revived." Hermes sighed. He was a Sequence Two "Insightful One" of the "Dreamer" pathway, and also belonged to the authority of God.

However, with Adam, who is in Sequence One, supporting her "Dreamer" pathway, she felt alright.

"Is that... the source castle where Father appeared in this world?" The mysterious Queen Bernadette did not respond to Hermes. She raised her head and looked up at the sky. In the vast emptiness, an ancient palace was faintly visible under the shadow of a deep red light.

The current owner of Source Castle is Klein.

However, this source substance once belonged to the Celestial Venerable and has many backup plans, enabling it to exert a profound influence.

The two were locked in a tug-of-war, while Yuanbao remained half-hidden and half-existent.

If it weren't for Cao Ya's protection, Klein wouldn't have had to worry about the Celestial's corruption at all. Otherwise, Klein, at Sequence Three, would have been completely unqualified to compete with the Celestial for control of the Source Castle.

In fact, there are other hidden entities secretly helping Klein.

“Goddess of the Night…” The Messenger Lady glanced at the Secret Servant beside her.

Ariana remained calm and did not utter a word.

"Thank you, Goddess of the Night! Thank you, Mother Earth!" Klein praised the two true gods in his heart, focused his energy, and began a tug-of-war with the Celestial Venerable.

With the help of three powerful figures, Klein was confident that he could withstand the Celestial Venerable.

"If this isn't acceptable, then that's just too lame..."

Klein thought to himself.

Behind him stood Cao Ya, the Goddess of Night, and the Earth Mother!

"Is the mental strength required for the pillars already this terrifying?"

In the deep darkness of the heavens, the goddess of night sighed softly.

She and the Earth Mother are both helping Klein.

Even so, with most of the Celestial Venerable's energy devoted to dealing with Cao Ya, their combined efforts only managed to barely divert a small portion of the Celestial Venerable's divine power.

Without Cao Ya's protection, Klein would have been contaminated on the spot!

Even with the assistance of the goddess of night and the earth goddess, it was to no avail.

They are in great danger if they are not cut in time.

"It's a good thing that we can hold back a small portion of the Heavenly Venerable's energy," the Earth Mother Goddess replied. The authority of "Mother" was fully exerted, sharing a portion of the Heavenly Venerable's divine power.

She only controls one path, making her slightly weaker than the Goddess of the Night.

The Goddess of the Night, who has taken charge of "Darkness" and has initially gained control of the "Grim Reaper" authority, is among the most powerful of the true gods in Sequence Zero!

If she were to also gain control of the "Twilight Giants," the Goddess of Night could be considered a quasi-Old One.

"Both of them have appeared. I wonder if one of them has already awakened within someone's body?" the goddess of the night, Amanisis, said softly, with a hint of worry in her voice.

The Earth Mother remained silent.

She knew that "which one" in the Night Talk referred to the Primordial Creator!

The ruler of all things and spirits in the universe!

Rise above the pillars!

That's the real big boss!

Deep within the starry sky, a group of outer gods revealed their magnificent figures, standing amidst the sea of ​​stars, their divine power and Daoist aura permeating the air, observing the movements of Earth.

Whether it was the sudden rise of Cao Ya, or the resurrected God and Heavenly Venerable, they all made this group of Outer Gods extremely wary.

"It's a pity that there are only four pillars of the universe," the Outer Gods sighed.

Upon hearing this, the Fallen Mother Goddess became even more frenzied.

The hidden fourth pillar, corresponding to Death, Darkness, and Twilight Giants, has never appeared in the Old Ones throughout history, so let's leave that aside.

The remaining three main pillars, God and the Heavenly Venerable, have infamous reputations that spread throughout the universe, and at this moment they are even more awe-inspiring in all directions!

It made the outer gods tremble!

However, she, who was originally the third pillar, had part of her authority and source matter torn apart due to the primordial awakening in the early first era, causing her rank to drop and she no longer belonged to the pillar level, but only to the outer god rank.

Whenever she thinks of this, the Fallen Mother feels immense hatred in her heart.

"The Primordial!"

!

The sounds of resentment echoed across many star systems, polluting vast swathes of desolate space.

A group of Outer Gods chuckled inwardly and quickly distanced themselves from the now enraged Fallen Mother Goddess.

They didn't want to offend this being.

******

Backlund, the Church of the Night, Leonard the "Star" was originally going to visit Emlyn the "Moon" who was imprisoned because of the war—in fact, he was treated well and was not subjected to severe torture!

As a result, the world changed dramatically the moment the two met.

The two looked at each other, both bewildered.

“It’s her…” In Leonard’s mind, the “wrong” pathway Sequence Two Angel—Pares Zoroastrian—suddenly spoke in a terrified voice.

"What's wrong?" Leonard couldn't help but ask.

"Who are you talking to?" Emlyn asked, his eyes strange, as he quietly moved away from Leonard.

Is this guy about to lose control?

Should I call for help? Or... should I call for help?

"Don't look at me like that! You should know by now that I have an angelic grandfather," Leonard explained, also worried that Emlyn's shouting might alert the other members of the Church of the Night.

“Oh, I remember now.” Emlyn suddenly realized that there was a vague idea about “the star” Leonard in the Tarot readings.

“What is she saying?” Emlyn asked.

“God! And… the Celestial! They… have all come back to life!” Palles Zoroaster’s tone was filled with fear.

Leonard was stunned upon hearing this.

"God? Celestial Being?"

Emlyn, who heard Leonard's murmur, was stunned.

Isn't this... the old pillar that Mr. Fool and Mr. Cao Ya once mentioned?!

Could it be...?

Instantly, Emlyn trembled all over, as if an indescribable darkness was about to engulf him.

******

On the high seas, aboard the Star Pirates, the demigod-like "Hermit" Cattleya could sense the three fiercely clashing wills, one of which was very familiar to her.

“Mr. Cao Ya…” Jia Deliya pushed up her glasses, her expression solemn.

"The Queen is also in the Kingdom of Luen, I wonder..."

Cattleya looked worried.

Alger, the "Hanged Man" who, like her, was on the sea, was also terrified by the series of strange phenomena.

After calming the crew's fears, Alger went up to the deck and looked out over the land.

"Is this... the changing times that Mr. Fool and Mr. Cao Ya were talking about?"

******

In Backlund, where Audrey, the "Justice," Hugh, the "Judgment," and Fors, the "Magician," resided, there was no divine protection, yet they could clearly sense the collision of forces from the heavens.

Including that layer of colorful divine light, which covered everything within sight.

"Mr. Cao Ya's strength!"

The three women were all curious at the same time.

At this moment, who exactly is Mr. Cao Ya confronting?

******

Compared to the other members of the Tarot Club, let's not even talk about Klein, who has the dual identity of "The Fool" and "The World".

Located in the Land Forsaken by God, Derrick the Sun, along with the people of Silver City and another Moon City, could all see the majestic figures of God and the Celestial Venerable, as well as their undisguised terrifying aura!

If it weren't for the protection of the colorful divine light condensed by Cao Yaxuan, the inhabitants of these two city-states would have been completely corrupted, gone mad and out of control in an instant, and their people, who had struggled to survive for thousands of years, would have been wiped out in a single day!

For them, Cao Ya's protection was a guarantee of survival.

The people of both cities, who had struggled through the darkness, could see this.

"What is the name of this benevolent being? We should venerate her and pray fervently!"

Colin Inliat, the chief of the Silver City Council of Six, narrowed his eyes, a strange light flashing within them.

He saw hope for Silver City to escape the land of the forsaken gods!

Derrick scratched his head, unsure whether he should speak.

Lovia and the others, who were also nearby, noticed Derrick's unusual behavior, just like Colin Inliat.

Derrick chuckled awkwardly when he noticed that everyone's eyes were on him.

“I should know that person. His name is Cao Ya!” Derrick said truthfully.

The group exchanged glances and nodded to each other.

Is he a member of that secret organization Derrick belongs to? Serving Mr. "Fool"?

Colin Inliat and Lovia turned their heads again to look at the battle on the horizon, a hint of doubt flashing across their faces.

Would such a being truly serve the "fool"?

They always felt that the "fool" was inferior to that person!

The three powerful figures in the battle seem to have surpassed even true gods!

When this thought came to mind, they didn't feel it was rebellious or blasphemous; they simply thought it was reasonable and practical!

"Does such a being, even one beyond the divine, truly exist in this world?!"

******

Cao Ya may have noticed the stares from others, but he didn't pay them any attention.

He dispersed half of his power across the earth and the stars, protecting all living beings.

The other half of power is what allows one to contend with God and the Heavenly Venerable.

"Boom..."

Three wills, each with its own unique mysteries, collided in various parts of the world and space, even affecting the spirit realm, the astral realm, and the abyss, causing them to tremble as if in danger of collapsing.

Various powerful beings, trembling with fear, began to plan to leave their respective realms and enter the real universe.

"boom!

!

The God who was resurrected from the body of the "Dark Angel" Sasriel gazed at Cao Ya. With a thought, storms and lightning, blazing suns, endless streams of information, and a kind of distorted, heaven-and-earth-turning power attacked him.

At the same time, God summoned the primordial chaotic sea.

Unlike the Celestial Venerable's situation, the Chaos Sea once belonged to the ancient Sun God, but after her death, Adam and the True Creator were unable to completely regain control of this primordial substance before their fusion.

Moreover, when God unleashed his power, neither of them dared to defy him without Cao Ya's protection.

Otherwise, they would be contaminated on the spot and lose their own existence.

Like a dark angel.

The destructive power of God who possessed the Chaos Sea immediately rose to a new level.

She conjured up all sorts of fantastical items, such as the Pen of Alshurst (0-08), the Brass Book of Ternsost (0-02), and the Last Feast (0-13), and even source materials, such as the River of Eternal Darkness, the City of Calamity, the Mother Nest, the Kingdom of Chaos, the Shadow World, the Wilderness of Knowledge, and the Key of Light.

She even imagined the Source Castle and threw herself into the battle!

On the other hand, when the Celestial Venerable saw the Source Castle imagined by God, his face darkened.

She, the rightful owner of the Source Castle, was unable to use this item.

Whoosh!

By activating the authority of the "Gate," spatial abilities displayed their power. Countless Celestial Venerables emerged from the void, each beckoning, and through the "erroneous" authority, they stole items conceived by God, and even attempted to steal Cao Ya's power.

At the same time, the authority of the "Fool" was activated, the gaps in history were revealed, and countless projections of the deceased powerful emerged. Although they appeared rigid and inflexible, they were completely under the control of the Celestial Venerable and joined the battle without regard for their lives.

Even if it means self-destruction, it will consume a wisp of Cao Ya's sword light!

In any case, a continuous stream of projections is emerging from the gaps in history.

There are countless cannon fodder of these demigod, saint, and angel levels.

The abilities of the two ancient pillars are terrifying, far surpassing those of the true gods, and even the outer gods cannot compare.

This is because they have not yet awakened from the body of the best candidate.

Otherwise it will be even stronger!

Most importantly, they disregard the survival of the Earth and are indifferent to whether the starry sky will collapse.

Therefore, he can devote all his strength to the battle against Cao Ya.

On the contrary, Cao Ya needs to devote at least half of his divine power to protecting heaven and earth.

Undoubtedly, this prevented Cao Ya from swiftly eliminating the two pillars of the team.

The battlefield seemed to have reached a stalemate.

"Huh?" Suddenly, the Celestial Venerable exclaimed in surprise.

Countless celestial beings stared intently at Cao Ya, their voices strange as they spoke in unison:

"I can't even steal your power??"

"Cao Ya, you are not the same as before!"

"No! Your power comes neither from source matter nor from magic potions!"

"In this universe, due to its primordial nature, no one can escape the source matter or the magic potion."

"Even I, God, and the fallen Mother Goddess are like this."

"How did you do that?"
