"Cthulhu?!"
Zuo Qing was slightly stunned when he heard these three words, and then shook his head decisively, "Impossible, the Cthulhu mythology did not descend with the fog. Except for a few ancient ruins that are suspected to be Cthulhu, no clues about the Cthulhu gods have been found anywhere in the world... They are not here."
"Really?" Chen Lu sneered, "Then...what about outside the earth?"
Zuo Qing was stunned.
"You're right. The former Blue Rain team and the Shangxie Society have basically explored every corner of the Mist. There is indeed no trace of the existence of Cthulhu gods on Earth... But what about outside the Earth? Have we looked for it?
Do you think the moon above our heads really exists?"
After Chen Lu finished speaking, Zuo Qing stood there in shock for a long time before he spoke in disbelief: "You mean, the god Cthulhu also descended with the fog? And descended on the moon?"
Chen Lu shook his head.
“The other way around.”
"What's wrong?"
"The order is reversed." Chen Lu endured the pain and spoke word by word, "It's not 'Cthulhu descended with the fog', but 'the fog descended because of Cthulhu'."
"The fog is the product of the gods of Cthulhu?" Zuo Qing was shocked.
In the Night Watch's current understanding, the collapse of the world order originated from the fog that suddenly emerged from Antarctica a hundred years ago. After the fog fell, most countries in the world became dead. Only the gods of Daxia gave up their divine power and bodies and turned into nine national monuments to completely isolate the fog outside the border, allowing Daxia to escape the disaster.
After the fog fell, countless strange "mysteries" began to appear all over the world. In order to eliminate the "mysteries" that appeared in Daxia, the Night Watchmen came into being.
At the same time, the emergence of the fog caused the power of the gods, who were originally high above the kingdom of God, to wither. Their realm and strength declined with the passage of time. As the power of the kingdom of God was also declining, some gods left the kingdom of God and walked among the fog, suspected to be investigating the cause of the appearance of the fog. They were discovered by the Daxia Night Watchmen who were exploring the fog, and this led to the birth of the God Observation Sequence.
During the Night's Watch's century-long exploration and observation, they gradually discovered traces of gods from various pantheons, but some gods have never appeared, and Cthulhu Mythos is one of them.
But what is strange is that although the existence of the god Cthulhu has not been discovered, the Shangxie Society has discovered several ancient relics related to the Cthulhu mythology around the world. This shows that the Cthulhu mythology may have really existed in ancient times, but why it has not been observed now is unknown.
Now, Zuo Qing got the answer from the almost half-crazy Chen Lu... Even if this answer may not be correct, it also provided them with a direction.
More importantly, if what Chen Lu said is true, then the appearance of the fog may be explained, and the problem that has troubled the Night's Watch and the gods for hundreds of years will also be solved.
Zuo Qing walked to the window, looked up at the moon in the sky which was gradually becoming clearer, and frowned slightly.
"That doesn't make sense. If the gods of Cthulhu really existed on the moon, we should have discovered them long ago. We have so many astronomers in Great Xia staring at that moon. We have even observed the Seraph Michael. The gods of Cthulhu are all extremely large, so there is no reason why we couldn't discover them."
“Hehehe…” Chen Lu lowered his head and laughed weakly. He looked up at Zuo Qing and said slowly, “Don’t you find it strange?”
"What?"
"Michael, why are you staying on the moon?"
Hearing this, Zuo Qing froze in place.
“In 1928, a golden sword beam was emitted from the moon, passing through the universe and razing the North American volcano where Lucifer was located to the ground. Only then did we set our sights on the moon and observe His existence…Since we discovered Him, Michael has been stationed on the moon and has never moved an inch.
Over the past hundred years, He has only done two things: He used a sword from the moon to suppress the fallen angel Lucifer, and... gave the [Mortal Divine Realm] to an unknown boy in Cangnan City.
He accomplished both of these things on the moon.
Don’t you find it strange? The gods of various mythologies are all walking in the mist, and even Lucifer, who is of the same origin as Michael, is active in North America. Why does Michael stand alone on the moon, watching over the world?
What is He doing there?
…
Fishing village deep sea.
"'They'? Who are 'they'?" Lin Qiye asked with a frown.
Chen Yangrong couldn't help but raise his mouth. He raised his head, his messy old hair fluttering in the wind, his scarlet eyes staring at the direction of the moon. He opened his arms and fanatically called out "their" names:
“‘They’ are the end of the universe, the origin of all weird and mysterious things, and the supreme existence that transcends all laws… ‘They’ are [Cthulhu].”
Hearing Chen Yangrong's almost fanatical way of praising his name, Lin Qiye frowned.
Cthulhu?
Lin Qiye certainly knew the existence of this pantheon.
However, as far as he knew, no Cthulhu gods had ever been observed in the current foggy world. The instructors had also taught him in the training camp that the gods of Cthulhu mythology might not exist...
Thinking of what Chen Yangrong had just said, Lin Qiye pondered for a moment and looked up at the darkness above his head again.
Always in a place where everyone can only look up...watch and return...
"...It's the moon?" Lin Qiye turned to look at Chen Yangrong, his eyes full of shock, "Cthulhu is on the moon? Are you the agent of Cthulhu?"
"Agent? No, I am not worthy of representing the great Cthulhu. I am just its believer." Chen Yangrong's eyes were full of fanaticism, but his tone was extremely humble. "It was the great Cthulhu who gave me a second life, gave me powerful strength, and cleansed my filthy blood. With this as the hub, my descendants and I have the opportunity to listen to their voices and approach the ultimate of this universe...
This is the glory of our Chen family!"
He stared with bloodshot eyes, twisting his body like a madman, and at the same time stretched out his hand, gently rubbing the stomach wall behind him. The flesh and blood that had swallowed half of his body suddenly twisted and squirmed, slowly climbing along his waist, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
"You're crazy." Lin Qiye's mental power swept across the stomach wall, as if he had discovered something, and said in a cold voice, "Your reason has been devoured by this flesh and blood, and it is eating away at your body."
“No, I’m not crazy!” Chen Yangrong’s body was gradually engulfed by flesh and blood, and he laughed, “You know, since I was embedded in this piece of flesh and blood, I went from being an ordinary fisherman who was almost buried in the sea to now being close to touching a miracle, and it only took me four days!
During these four days, I listened to their voices every day, and I could feel their desire to return..."
Chen Yangrong stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the unreachable moon, and shouted in an excited and crazy tone:
"I, Chen Yangrong, the most loyal believer of Cthulhu, will personally lead 'them' back!"
