Although almost all gods went to the Chaos Continent, some chose to stay in the God Realm. The human god Soth was one of them. He looked at his long wooden staff, on the top of which was a crystal ball, which showed that the God of Light had just left the God Realm.
This is a good opportunity, Soth thought, as he disappeared into the Hall of Knowledge.
The Chaos Continent has gone through seven eras in total. The human race rose only in the last era, which caused the human gods to be weak. In order to gain a foothold in the God Realm, the gods of the human race joined the God of Light without hesitation, firmly supporting the God of Light and even giving up their believers. Soth knew that the gods always mocked them as running dogs of the God of Light behind their backs, but he didn't mind. If this method could get the greatest benefit, why not do it?
——Even though he never acknowledged the supreme status of the God of Light. The throne was temporarily the God of Light’s, but sooner or later, he would replace the God of Light and take that position.
Therefore, Soth collected all the information he could find, and kept observing the God of Light quietly, trying to find the flaws. The reason why the God of Light could sit firmly on the throne was because of the scepter that could destroy the godhood, but the oldest records did not explain where the scepter of the God of Light came from. After a long period of observation, Soth finally found some clues: there were no other creatures in the Light Hall of the God of Light, not even people serving the God of Light. This strange situation can only mean one thing, that the Light Hall hides a secret that the God of Light is unwilling to share with others.
Soth broke through the barrier set by the God of Light and sneaked into the Hall of Light silently. The entire Hall of Light was extremely magnificent. Except for the outermost barrier, there were no mechanisms or magic inside. This reflected the arrogance of the God of Light. He was so sure that no god dared to challenge his majesty. Soth looked at the empty Hall of Light. He was actually gambling. If he was discovered by the God of Light, his fate would definitely not be good. But as long as he found the secret of the God of Light here, he could make the God of Light step down from the throne.
Soth walked along the corridor to the depths of the hall. At the end of the corridor, he found a room full of runes. Soth scanned the transmission runes on the wall. These runes connected this room to an unknown place. As long as they were activated, he could talk to that party. Soth walked around the rune room. Through his familiarity with the runes, he found a secret door in the corner. After opening the secret door, a spiral staircase appeared in front of Soth, and strong light fluctuations came from below. At this point, Soth no longer hesitated and walked down the stairs directly.
“Tick-tock.”
There was a sound of water. Soth walked to the bottom of the stairs. In front of him was a sea of light formed by the light element. The waves spread out layer by layer and then hit a burly figure. Soth stared at the opposite side. In the sea of light, a god was sealed by runes. The dense runes were entangled on his sturdy body, bat-like wings, and curved horns. This was an extremely powerful demon god. Even though he was sealed by runes, it could be seen that he possessed a nearly destructive power. The name of this demon god spontaneously emerged in Soth's mind without searching his memory.
Baal.
The legendary first demon god, who is also the main god of the demon clan. Speaking of Baal, there is a very famous story: this first demon god actually fell in love with a celestial being. After the God of Light killed the celestial being, Baal went to the God of Light. No one knew how fierce the battle between them was. On the third day, the God of Light appeared with a scepter, but Baal was nowhere to be found.
I didn't expect that the first demon god was sealed here. Soth's eyes fell on the rune that sealed Baal. He thought that he had finally found a way to make the God of Light fall.

"The God of Light..."
Hearing the god of war's muttering, Du Ze looked at the six-winged god with golden light shining through his eyes, and felt that he was too naive - he shouldn't have believed that the author had any moral standards!
More and more Celestials appeared in the sky. The God of Light looked down at Xiu below. Eric borrowed his divine power from him, and he determined the location of this heretic. After only a few dozen days of not seeing him, this heretic had become a false god. The God of Light's fingers turned white from holding the scepter with such force. He must personally deal with this heretic today!
Just when the God of Light was about to make a move, an invisible existence spoke - it was hard to describe how grand and magnificent it was, like the structure of a world, the origin of all order. It did not transmit information in the form of sound, but left a mark directly in the minds of all living beings.
The dwarves and elves stopped fighting, the dragon gods and the undead stopped fighting, and all the creatures in the Chaos Continent stopped all their actions at the same time, listening to the words in their minds in a daze. The mysterious existence told all the creatures: The tower will be built with gods as materials, but the only thing missing is the bones of the main god; once the tower is built, whoever reaches the top will be deified, and the first one to reach the top will be the Supreme God.
The God of War was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the God of War opposite him also had a look of disbelief on his face, he realized that the other party had received the same message. The beastmen and humans below were full of confusion. Even though they didn't understand what kind of existence it was, everyone believed what it said almost instantly without any doubt.
——As long as the divine tower is built, you can climb the tower and become a god.
After reading all the information, the God of Light's voice began to tremble with hatred: "Do you really want to protect that heretic, the rules!"
Only "rules" can make all living beings obey and obey, without any explanation, and no one can violate them. The God of Light can fully imagine how everyone will react after receiving the information of the rules: climbing the tower to become a god, no living being can resist the temptation of deification; the position of the god is supreme, and no god does not covet the position of the supreme god - that is the real supreme god, recognized by the world, not the head of all gods like him who became the head by force.
Almost everyone will follow the instructions of the rules, except the main gods. The establishment of the divine tower means their death. The God of Light finally knows why the rules took away the body of the beast god. A sentence in the rules pushed all the main gods to the opposite side of life.
The sacred tower is about to be built, and the gods are in the twilight.
As the main god of the Celestial Clan, the God of Light was also a target. Compared to other main gods, he knew more. The reason why the rules were so out of control was all because of that heretic!
In the anger of the God of Light, beams of light bombarded Xiu from the air, with almost no gaps between the dense beams - but only almost. The orcs' sensitive senses could extend the sense of time. In Xiu's eyes, those beams fell at a very slow speed, fast or slow, staggered down, and he could avoid all attacks by making precise adjustments and moving.
"Bang——"
The dazzling light instantly engulfed Xiu, and when the attack ended, Xiu was still standing there. In Du Ze's perception, the Lord of Moe was just like the God of Light who teleported to another space at the moment of the barrage attack, and then moved back when the attack ended.
Xiu licked his slightly burnt claws. He had no way to avoid several beams of light just now, so he could only tear them apart with his claws. Without the protection of his equipment, his claws also suffered considerable damage. After a round of attacks, the God of Light calmed down a little. He did not use beams again. A large amount of light elements gathered in his hands. It was obvious that this time the God of Light intended to wipe out Xiu and his tribe together.
Xiu narrowed his golden eyes and looked at the God of Light in the air. He squatted slightly, then leaped hard and rushed straight towards the God of Light. Some Celestials tried to stop Xiu in the air. Xiu grabbed one of them by the shoulder. His lion ears shook slightly to avoid the attack from behind. He swung his tail around the neck of another Celestial, sweeping the Celestials around like a broom.
The Celestial being caught by Xiu tried to attack Xiu, but was pushed down by Xiu. Xiu stepped on the Celestial's shoulder, and with a push of his legs, he rushed out of the Celestial's encirclement, while the poor Celestial being used as a stepping stone fell straight down. When Xiu rushed to the front of the God of Light, he was blocked by the light wall as expected. If Eric's light wall was an ordinary wall, the light wall of the God of Light was equivalent to a magnificent city wall. The rich light element was like a substance, and Xiu's claws were clasped on the light wall, and he felt the pain of being burned strongly.
The God of Light looked at Xiu through the light wall, and the smile on his face seemed to be mocking Xiu's overestimation of his own abilities - below the gods, we are all ants. How can mortals touch the gods? Even if they have the power of a false god, they will melt and perish the moment they get close to the gods.
Xiu jumped down from the air, his hands were completely charred and emitting white smoke from being corroded. At this time, the God of Light was like a sun, the closer you got, the more damage you suffered. Seeing that the God of Light's magic was about to be completed, the God of War could no longer bear it, picked up the attacking sword and rushed towards the God of Light. The God of War moved and then stayed where he was. It was unclear whether he wanted to stop the God of War or attack the God of Light together with the God of War.
Seeing the attacking God of War, the God of Light did not stop his magic, but simply raised his scepter.
Complex runes appeared on the slender shaft of the scepter, floating towards the God of War as if blown by the wind. Their speed was very slow, but it seemed to break through the limitations of time and space in an instant, and arrived in front of the God of War in an instant. The God of War tried to avoid the glowing runes, but he found that no matter which direction he dodged, the runes were there.
The light runes attached to the God of War's body and instantly sank into his body. The God of War seemed to have been stopped, and his entire body was suspended in mid-air.
For gods, losing their divinity is like a mortal being deprived of the right to breathe.
“Tick-tock.”
Scarlet liquid fell in front of her eyes. Nina raised her head with great effort. In her wide-open eyes, their beast god was covered in blood, as if even the pores of his skin were oozing with blood. The military god dropped his hands powerlessly and fell straight from the air. The beastmen watched all this in a daze. Nina wanted to scream, but under the suppression of the divine power, the sound was stuck in her throat and could not move forward. They could only watch in silence as their last beast god fell and shed silent tears.
The body of the God of War fell into a black hole that suddenly appeared. The God of Light watched as the rules that had collected the body of the God of Beasts disappeared without a trace, and in near panic he released the element of light in his hand.
At that moment, Du Ze really thought he saw a sun falling from the sky. The huge, dazzling ball of light almost occupied the entire sky, like a meteor pressing down on them with a devastating momentum. Even from a long distance, they could still feel the terrifying energy contained in it.
The God of War prepared to evacuate. Even he could not face and contend with such divine arts. As the main target being locked, Xiu could not move a step. He looked at the ball of light falling from the sky. Since he could not avoid it, he could only destroy it.
An arc of electricity flashed in the air, illuminating the upturned corner of the demon's mouth.
Purple-gold lightning bolts leaped out from Xiu's hands one after another, and they madly attacked each other in the air, forming a huge electric grid. The lightning was moving on the grid, and the scale of the lightning was getting bigger and bigger. Xiu's face was getting paler and paler, but his smile was still as unrestrained as before. At the moment when the ball of light was about to fall to the ground, the electric grid stuck to the ball of light, tightly binding and entangling it.
“Boom boom boom—”
The sky and the ground were all filled with light, the light of the light ball, the light of lightning, and the light of annihilation. Even if Du Ze closed his eyes, the strong light penetrated his eyelids and burned his retina. After the strong light, Du Ze squinted for a long time before gradually seeing the situation clearly: the cute master in the form of a demon was panting and seemed to be a little exhausted, while the God of Light above was staring at Xiu, and the light element gathered in his hands again.
Damn, Boss, your skills have no cooldown at all? Author, tell me honestly, who is the protagonist! The cute master has never been surpassed by anyone!
“…Huh?”
At this moment, a doubtful voice suddenly came, and a black dove with bloodshot eyes fell from the sky and turned into a human shape when it landed. His eyes turned around the scene and finally fell on Xiu. "Isn't it Lord Baer?"
"I thought it was Lord Baal." Another child-like voice was heard, but the person who appeared in front of everyone was a tall and thin bard. He said to the man who was transformed from a big dove into a human form: "Harpas, long time no see."
Hearing the word "Harpas", Du Ze was instantly horrified. Isn't this the one among the 72 demon gods who "mainly eats human flesh and is not very friendly to humans"? A certain silly and cute thought of his experience in Harpas City... It's all tears if I talk too much.
Since the black dove is a demon god, the bard who greeted him should also be one of the demon gods. Du Ze began to recall the plot of "Mixed Blood". When Mengzhu attacked the 72 main cities, there seemed to be such a demon god whose description fits the bard in front of him very well. That guy seemed to be called... Phoenix?
At this time, there was another sound in the air. Two beauties descended from the sky in a chariot of fire. They greeted the other two demons: "Harpas, Phoenix, am I late?"
Du Ze saw two familiar faces sitting in the back of the chariot, Verla and Alice. The demon sisters were very excited to see them, but they kept silent because of their concerns. Since the Lord of Belial was on the chariot, the identity of the driver was self-evident—the two beautiful demons in the legend, Belial’s 68th demon Belial, the 38th demon Harpas, and the 37th demon Phoenix. In just a short moment, three demons gathered in the field.
"You are not late, Belyar," Phoenix said. "Lord Baal is not here."
"Since Lord Baal is not here." Harpas glanced at the God of Light and turned into a black dove and was about to leave. "Then there is no need to stay."
"Oh, don't say that."
As soon as he heard this familiar sentence, Du Ze knew that Dan the jerk had appeared. The green-clad businessman appeared with a grin, speaking in his usual slick manner.
"This man is the descendant of Lord Baal. I have high hopes for him." Dan covered his smile with a book and looked at the God of Light with an ambiguous look. "Everyone has seen the information about the rules, right? Don't you think we should do something now?"
After hearing Dan's words, everyone looked at the God of Light with a subtle look. The God of Light watched in silence as the Demon Gods appeared one after another. It was always like this. Whenever he did something to the heretic, someone or something would always appear to disrupt the situation. Once was an accident, twice was a coincidence, and more than three times was inevitable. At that moment, the God of Light was shaken. Could he really not kill the heretic?
——He was unwilling.
"So there were so many people who slipped through the net." The God of Light released the magic in his hand and raised the scepter high: "I will sentence you to death again!"
The huge ball of light fell again, and Phoenix turned into a phoenix-like bird and flew towards the ball of light. Seeing this, the fluffy ball on Duze's head made a "chirp chirp" sound, as if wanting to follow Phoenix's footsteps. However, after the little phoenix thought about it with its little head, it still stayed firmly on a silly head: the mother chirp was more important.
"Bang!"
Seeing the Phoenix collide with the light ball, Harpas's incarnation of a black dove rushed towards the God of Light like an arrow. The God of Light raised his scepter and released the rune, which flew towards Harpas. However, Belyar shouted softly, and one of his half bodies took the initiative to face the rune, helping Harpas block the attack.
Harpas tore open the light wall of the God of Light and tried to seize the scepter of the God of Light. However, the moment he touched the scepter, a terrifying power came from the scepter, which froze Harpas in mid-air and he couldn't move. The God of Light snorted coldly, and the scepter lit up again. This time, Harpas couldn't avoid the attack of the runes. His godhood was destroyed by the scepter, and he became the first demon god to fall in this war.
After the God of Light dealt with Harpas, he was attacked from behind before he could see the black hole appear. The God of Light turned around and found that the person who attacked him was the God of War!
The God of War originally planned to seize the scepter like Harpas, but after seeing Harpas's fate, he decisively cut off the hand of the God of Light holding the scepter.
“Damn it!”
Amid the angry roar of the God of Light, the scepter fell from the sky and stabbed straight into the ground in front of Du Ze. The broken arm on the scepter turned into light powder and scattered. A certain fool looked at the scepter standing in front of him and reached out to grab it almost subconsciously.
When his hand touched the smooth and slender handle of the scepter, Du Ze blinked out of necessity. However, when he opened his eyelids again, there was no Xiu, no God of Light, no everything around him. There was only pure darkness - he seemed to have fallen into a pool of ink at that moment, floating in the darkness holding the scepter.
Du Ze had seen this kind of completely black space twice before, once in a dream and once in the Wheel of Time. Both times he received a call with a bad signal. Just as Du Ze was thinking this, he heard the voice again. This time it was not vague or noisy, but clear as if it was talking next to his ear.
[Do you know why you came to this world?]
"Duze!"
Hearing Xiu's call, Du Ze was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was still in the same place. Everything that just happened seemed like an illusion. Du Ze looked up and saw the God of Light got rid of all the gods and rushed towards him fiercely. The silly reader was immediately scared and raised the scepter in his hand reflexively.
When Du Ze raised the scepter, the whole scene fell into a strange silence. The God of Light was stunned in mid-air, and the others stared at a certain stupid cuteness in disbelief. Du Ze looked at the broken scepter on the ground, then looked at the God of Light who was pointed at by the other half of the scepter, and thought to himself expressionlessly: Avada Kedavra.
"You actually—destroyed it?"
I'm sorry, boss, I really didn't know it was fragile!
Du Ze was protected behind him, and the other gods caught up with the God of Light again. Even though he was surrounded by the gods, the God of Light still stared at the scepter that was cut off, his expression changing from one to another. In the end, the God of Light regained his calm in an almost weird way, as if he didn't care about anything, and as if he had unloaded a certain burden.
"Without the scepter, you still cannot compete with me." The God of Light looked at everyone and said coldly: "Ants are ants after all."
