"The Book of Genesis!!"
Jiang Yan's gaze was fixed on the book that was slowly falling into the girl's hands, and he recognized it as a supreme artifact at a glance.
"This...isn't this the inherited artifact of the Holy Light Pantheon? It wasn't forged by the First Holy Lord? No, it dared to absorb the power of faith and pass through the barrier set up by the First Holy Lord?!"
"How dare it!"
Jiang Yan's heart was filled with turbulent waves.
The Holy Light pantheon, whether warriors or artifacts, all share a common characteristic: absolute faith in and obedience to the Holy Lord.
Although the requirements for faith did not seem so strict in ancient times, invoking faith without cause or ignoring the Holy Lord's seal was enough to purify them a thousand times over.
Before he could think it through, the Book of Creation suddenly opened automatically, revealing a line of dazzling divine runes.
"The First Divine Technique!"
Upon seeing this line of text, Jiang Yan instantly recalled the page of power that had been erased when he obtained the Book of Creation.
He had a vague premonition that this was a very important matter, but the Book of Genesis brushed it off by saying that he didn't have enough wealth.
"What kind of divine art can surpass the Grim Reaper's feigned death, or even the senior's three lives, which is called number one?"
Jiang Yan stared intently at the pages of the book.
The dazzling light continued to spread, but it only rose in a vertical line before the entire scene suddenly began to shake violently, as if invaded by some irresistible force.
Wow!
The entire scene was plunged into darkness, with only faint, intermittent sounds emanating from within.
“Vilandir... They all say behind my back that I lack talent and that I don’t deserve this position... But apart from necessary rest, I’ve devoted all my time to cultivation... Does lacking talent mean I’m destined to fail?”
"Vylandir...darling...what should I do..."
A soft, weak voice rang out, but before Jiang Yan could react, time and space in the scene seemed to flow again, and the voice became fierce.
"...Master, I suggest you get rid of the Destiny Pantheon. This divine office is somewhat special, and the Lord of Destiny seems to have realized something."
"I understand. Once this plan is completed, the Holy Lord will never be able to return. After I completely erase his existence, I can take his place as God and command the four archangels to return. At that time, I can just find any excuse to destroy them."
...
"Damn it, these pantheon lords dare to outwardly comply with my wishes while inwardly defying me. Humph, the previous Holy Lord was far too benevolent, actually allowing freedom of belief. From this day forward, all those who do not believe in the Holy Light shall be annihilated."
"Master is wise. These faiths are treasures, and they should all belong to us. But are you going to attack those pantheons? With your current strength, you might not be able to win against them all at once..."
"Make a move? Who said I was going to make a move? Have you forgotten how I became the successor..."
...
"From this day forward, the core area of the Holy Light Divine Realm will be renamed Heaven. In addition to the basic requirements of faith and strength, creatures with ugly appearances will not be allowed to enter the core area. A new rule will be added to all angel reincarnation pools: only women are eligible to receive baptism."
“Master...this last rule might affect the faith of some believers.”
"Hmph, my mind is made up! The artifacts they created can limit gender, and now that I control the Holy Light Pantheon, how can I not set restrictions!"
...
"What's going on! The Book of Genesis, why has the Abyss become so powerful? Even the combined forces of the gods and all the realms can't defeat them!"
"This... something has happened in the Abyss. Not only has its main body become billions of times stronger, but a terrifying being has also appeared. No one is its match."
"Didn't you claim to know everything? You were the one who said that you could use the power of the abyss to trap the Holy Lord forever and make them perish together. How could it have turned out like this!"
“Young master... I am merely offering a suggestion, and besides, I have already stated that something that has never existed before is beyond my capabilities.”
...
"Vilandir... I know I was wrong, can you... help me one more time? I know you must have a way!"
"Both the Mechanical Overlord Project and the Zerg Overlord Project have failed. Now, I have no other options."
"No...you must have a way! I beg you, please help me one last time, and help this world too..."
...
"this!"
A series of disordered and incoherent conversations flooded into his mind, and Jiang Yan's pupils suddenly contracted.
If he understood correctly...
The woman who succeeded the Holy Lord and was favored by the third Emperor actually used the power of the Abyss to steal the original Holy Lord's divine position!
No, not just her, but also the Book of Genesis, wait, the Book of Genesis!
"not good!"
Jiang Yan suddenly felt a jolt in his heart. He had always kept the Book of Creation close at hand; if there was anything wrong with it...
Just as Jiang Yan was about to mobilize divine power to suppress it.
Suddenly, the scene before her eyes brightened, and she returned to the sixth level of the Nine-Layered Divine Tower, the moment when Lovis received the Book of Genesis.
The difference was that the woman in the picture suddenly exuded a surge of energy. She slowly turned her head, her eyes no longer showing any trace of naivety, as if she had realized something, and a faint, cold smile appeared on her lips:
"Vylandir, oh Vilandir, you've been dead for so long, yet you still manage to pull so many stunts... I almost fell for your tricks. What a pity... it was your first incarnation who personally bestowed his talent upon me. What were you plotting, thinking you could escape my eyes?!"
"It's you, Lovess! You're not dead!"
Seeing this, Jiang Yan couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, this was definitely not the woman from the original timeline!
He subconsciously manipulated his divine power, trying to set up a protective barrier.
"I almost forgot about you, the great Holy Lord."
The woman withdrew her gaze from somewhere and turned it to him. Instantly, Jiang Yan felt all the strength in his body freeze, and he could hardly even think straight.
He tried to harness all available power to resist, but to no avail.
The opponent possesses power that is almost comparable to or even surpasses that of the second-stage "Abyss Demon Emperor." Even if he were to advance to the Supreme level, let alone the fact that he is currently only a main god, he would still be unable to defeat him.
"Don't resist in vain; you are too weak now. Just fulfill your mission, and it won't be in vain that I temporarily returned the position of Holy Lord to you."
"What...does...you mean?" Jiang Yan asked with difficulty, having exhausted all his divine power.
"Why ask so many questions? You'll forget about it soon enough."
Lovis smiled faintly: "Haven't you always wanted to know what this first divine spell is? Actually, you've already seen it, but you've just forgotten it."
As she spoke, she opened the Book of Creation, and a golden pen appeared in her hand. She wrote down each word carefully:
"In the 4999th era of the Land of Ruin, Jiang Yan, the Lord of Holy Light, successfully merged all the fragments of the Netherworld. During this time, he saw in the fragments images of the Lord of Holy Light, Lovis, fighting desperately against the Abyss in ancient times. Inspired, he resolved to return to the realms and fight the Abyss to the death."
A dazzling light flashed.
The annals of history are complete!
