Chapter 201 Darkness Comes

Chapter 201

The balance scale slowly emerged from the void, emitting a strong golden glow all over, as if it was made from the core of a star.

It is full of jewels and is extremely gorgeous, but not extravagant.

That light is not created for decoration, but is essentially a symbol of holiness.

It floats quietly in the sky, motionless as a mountain, yet seems to hold the highest standard of measurement for heaven and earth.

The two ends of the scale trembled slightly, releasing not simple oppression, but a "concept of equality" that even the gods could not defy.

Even gods have to bow their heads before this plane.

At this moment, the Demon Net Goddess, who was engulfed by the green divine light, seemed to be frozen in place. Her body was bound by invisible chains and she could not move at all.

Dense green light clung to her fair skin like vines, revealing a mysterious and profound natural rhythm that completely pinned her to the void.

Her beautiful eyes, calm as mirrors, were now filled with turbulent waves as she stared at the golden scale, as if she was caught in a flashback of some ancient memory.

She parted her red lips and slowly uttered a name that was so heavy that it made one's heart palpitate: "The Eternal Supreme Balance..."

At this moment, the heaven and earth seemed to pause for a moment for these words.

She will never forget this name.

No, exactly.

The entire civilization of gods cannot forget the existence of this golden scale.

Once upon a time, in those days so long ago that they were almost lost in the torrent of time, the kingdom of Tianyu had collided with another mysterious and rapidly rising civilization in the depths of the endless plane.

It was a war of civilizations that shocked the world. All the gods from top to bottom were full of confidence, believing that this was just a war of civilizations as usual.

The result will be no different than in the past. The civilization of the gods will eventually win, and the kingdom of heaven will devour that civilized world.

Even if a few official gods were sacrificed in the process, it would only be part of the blood tax.

However……

When the dust settled from that battle, the kingdom’s sky trembled and the gods were furious.

Because the final result of that war was the fall of a main god!

And what caused all this was the golden scale that reappeared at this moment.

In the memories of all witnesses, it shone brightly with golden light, traversed the void, spanned the galaxy, and directly pierced through the body of the main god.

Her divinity was shattered, her divine fire was extinguished, and she fell like a mortal before the gods.

That main god has an extremely special identity and holds the dual authority over life and nature. He should be a symbol of immortality and eternal existence.

But such an existence was completely destroyed by the creation of "that weak civilization"!

In the post-war Pantheon, the throne that once belonged to the Goddess of Life and Nature turned into ruins, leaving an unhealed wound and shame in the civilization of the gods.

From that day on, all the main gods were in awe of the golden scale, and some even took the initiative to give it the divine title of "Eternal Supreme".

But even though the golden scales were extremely terrifying, the war eventually ended.

The gods' civilization has a profound foundation. After paying a heavy price, they finally destroyed that mysterious civilization completely and uprooted it.

Civilization fell, the earth collapsed, the entire plane was suppressed by dimensionality reduction, and turned into dust that would never recover.

The ending of that civilization was even more tragic.

They were denounced by the gods as beings with "unforgivable sins".

Eventually, all remnants were compressed into a cold landscape, hanging high above the Pantheon for future gods to see.

It is both a humiliation and a wake-up call.

It is also the most profound warning to the civilization of the gods themselves: Endless Plane, never underestimate your enemies.

As for the golden scale... after the war, it mysteriously disappeared, as if it had never existed.

No matter how many main gods joined forces to search, or how much divine power was expended to track it, they were unable to find even a trace.

Now, it has appeared again.

Appeared in front of her.

The Demon Net Goddess's beautiful eyes finally lost their former calmness and tranquility, and now violent ripples appeared.

Even if she is just a clone, a mere projection of divine consciousness, even if this incarnation is destroyed, it will not cause the slightest shake to her original body.

However, the golden scale that reappeared from the void shook her mind like never before.

It's not because of the divine power and oppression of the scales themselves, but because of some ancient and chilling ultimate possibility that it represents.

This is a threat that even the main gods cannot underestimate.

This is something...even the Pantheon was once powerless to do anything about.

"The eternal supreme balance..."

This is not just a name, but the beginning of a history of shame and a brand engraved deep in the memory of the gods' civilization.

Even though the civilization of gods is at the top of the endless plane, it still stands firm.

The Kingdom of Sky is a giant kingdom of gods that has been expanding and devouring other worlds for countless epochs, but they have never looked down on the golden balance.

On the contrary, all the main gods have an almost instinctive fear of it.

There was once a god who had insight into cause and effect and the future, and he made a prophecy at the cost of his own divinity:

"In the future, the civilization of the gods will eventually be destroyed by the hands of the master behind the scale."

This sentence was engraved on the prophetic stone tablet deep in the Pantheon. No one dared to delete it, and no one dared to doubt it.

Therefore, when this golden, majestic and solemn scale reappeared before her eyes, the Goddess of the Demon Net could hardly calm down.

She finally understood.

"...No wonder Shantia's divinity has not recovered..." She murmured in a low voice, with an indescribable fear and shock, "It turns out...it is related to it..."

Her divine eyes were staring into the depths of the scale. That divine light that seemed both real and illusory and lingering with a strong breath of life was the breath that she was very familiar with - Chauntia.

That is the core of authority over life and nature, the imprint of divinity that should have long since perished in the Pantheon, but now is continuously flowing into the magic web controlled by her.

At this moment, the Goddess of the Demonic Net is just a clone. Even if she dies, it will not have any impact on the original body, and it is even more impossible for the other party to affect the authority of the Demonic Net.

Because the authority of the magic network she controls now is only a small part of the authority of the National Tianyu Magic Network.

However, there is a mutual connection between the two.

In other words, the lush breath of life did not disappear after entering the power of her magic network, but entered the sky of a more distant kingdom.

The lush breath of life entered the real magic net within the kingdom's sky!

"The magic net is spread all over the sky of the country... He wants to prevent the breath of Shangtia from entering it and cause no substantial damage. At most, he wants to make Shangtia's breath known to the public... He wants others to know that Shangtia is not dead!"

The kingdom of Tianyu is the hometown of the gods' civilization, where all the gods live. The death of Shangtia and the loss of the authority of life have affected all the gods.

Therefore, the gods of all kingdoms and cosmic realms are very concerned about the aura of Chantia.

However, if we have to rank them, then before the many eternal and immortal gods, the dark goddess Shar is definitely the one we care about the most.

After all, in that war of civilizations in the past, the dark goddess Shar fought in the front all the way, but it was the more important goddess of life and nature, Chauntia, who fell in the end.

Therefore, after the war of civilizations, the dark goddess Shar was naturally questioned by other gods.

However, who can do anything to the other gods? In the end, the Pantheon could not completely track down the dark goddess Shar.

But in this process, the Pantheon can be sure that Chantia’s death is closely related to the dark goddess Shar!

It can even be said that he is the biggest suspect!

Therefore, when the breath of Shangtia entered the magic net, and along with the magic net that spread across the sky of the country, these breaths gradually appeared...

"You want to find the dark goddess Shar?!"

The voice of the Demon Net Goddess suddenly became low, and she looked fiercely at the man standing next to the golden scale.

At this moment, Qi was standing quietly beside the scale, his maple leaf-colored robe fluttering in the wind.

His aura blended and intertwined with the golden glow of the scales.

He finally spoke.

That voice was not the language of wizards, nor was it the ancient language of his civilization. Rather, it was the orthodox language of the gods’ civilization, ancient, profound, and containing divine echoes.

This is not surprising - after all, the civilization he represented had once fought a head-on war with the civilization of the gods.

It's normal to master the enemy's language.

Qi chuckled, but his smile was chilling: "The dark goddess Shar... is really famous."

His tone was calm, but his words were sharp. "When she descended into our world, the abyss of darkness opened above the sky, the sea of ​​stars surged, and chaos surged... That day, countless creatures of our civilization wailed in the darkness, blood turned into rivers, and mountains of corpses paved the throne..."

"Of course I want to find her." Qi's eyes were burning like flames, and his voice suddenly rose several degrees, almost with a tearing hatred:

"I wish I could smash the sacred object of civilization with my own hands, just to have this so-called 'goddess' reduced to ashes!"

His anger surged, his voice became high-pitched, his words were fierce, and his emotions fluctuated violently.

The Demon Net Goddess frowned slightly.

Qi also realized that he had lost control. He took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes. When he opened them again, his pupils had returned to calm.

"It's a pity...we failed to kill her in the end."

"The one who died was another Lord God. But... this time, I finally have a chance to make up for everything that happened in the past."

He stared at the divine ripples dancing on the scales and said calmly, "You are now facing off against an equally powerful civilization, the wizard civilization, and a main god has actually forced his way into this world... Tsk tsk."

As soon as she finished speaking, a cold light flashed in the beautiful eyes of the Demon Net Goddess, and extremely suppressed murderous intent surged around her.

Of course she understood what this meant.

Wizard civilization, the terrifying existence that makes the gods' civilization never dare to start a war easily.

When they first saw it, the main gods of the Kingdom of Tianyu once thought that this was just another powerful civilization that had not yet been conquered. Once swallowed, it would bring unparalleled growth.

But as the confrontation deepened, the gods' civilization gradually realized that they were not facing a "powerful" enemy, but an existence system that was at the same level as them or even higher.

It was a civilized life form that was completely different from theirs, but also stood at the top.

They are good at analyzing rules and knowledge, calculating and reconstructing time and space, disassembling and rewriting alchemy, soul, truth, consciousness, and the origin of the universe...

From that moment on, the gods' name for them quietly changed from "enemy" to "fear".

Even in the files of the Supreme Council of the Pantheon, wizard civilization was marked as:

"It is not recommended to actively provoke a target. It is extremely difficult to conquer and has the potential to cause 'fundamental structural destruction' to the civilization of the gods."

Because of this, even though thousands of years have passed and there have been constant frictions and conflicts between them, it has never developed into a true "total war."

The strongest battle is only between a level 6 Morning Star Wizard and an ordinary god.

If what this person said was true, a Lord God had quietly crossed the boundaries of rules and entered this world...

That means the entire chess game will completely collapse! Once the news gets back to the wizard civilization, they will definitely not sit idly by.

By then, there will be terrifying beings of the same level coming out to respond.

That would be a shock enough to destroy the balance of civilization.

Once it develops into an all-out war, even if the Goddess of the Demon Net is located in the deepest part of the kingdom's sky, she will not be immune to the aftermath of the war.

What's more, she knew very well that in the wizard civilization, there were terrifying beings that could penetrate the rules and reversely deconstruct divinity.

The face of the Demon Net Goddess slowly became gloomy under the golden light flowing on the scale.

She spoke softly, her voice cold and full of self-consoling questioning: "The Dark Goddess Shar...even though she is unruly, she is not stupid. She...knows the horror of wizard civilization to some extent, so how could she fall into the trap you set so easily?"

However, Qi just glanced at her calmly.

"She will come." He said calmly, "Once she has experienced the power of the golden scales for herself, she will not stop."

"Once you take control, you can never let it go."

He said slowly, with a hint of foreboding in his eyes.

"She wants more, she wants it all... As long as the desire is there, she will come. No matter what the cost."

Qi raised his head slightly and looked at the golden light flowing in the sky:

"Even if the price is a war between two great civilizations and the flames of war in the endless plane... she will not hesitate. As long as the balance can be restored... she will come."

He paused, a mocking smile flashing across his lips: "Perhaps, she even wants to use this to comprehend the origin of the balance... break through the shackles of the Lord God, and step into a level above the Lord God."

Listening to Qi's words, the Demon Net Goddess's expression finally changed completely.

There were waves in her beautiful eyes, her expression was solemn to the extreme, and she was inexplicably shocked.

The dark goddess Shar... how many secrets does she hide? Not only did she kill the goddess of life and nature, Shantia, but she also... controlled part of the golden balance?

So many main gods gained nothing at that time, but the dark goddess Shar actually controlled part of the balance?

The status of this golden scale is extremely high, and it is indeed possible to guide the levels above the main god.

For every Lord God, the level above the Lord God is the greatest attraction, even if it costs one's life, it is worth it...

Completing the golden scale will obviously be of greater help in exploring the levels above the Lord God! If this is true, it goes without saying what she will do for the levels above the Lord God...

After all, this Lord God's sense of identity with the Kingdom of Tianyu has never been high.

And just at this moment.

Between heaven and earth, it suddenly became as cold as night! The sky was as dark as ink, and suddenly it sank, and a suffocating cold breath emerged in the air.

The Demon Net Goddess's gaze suddenly focused, and she turned around abruptly to look behind her.

In her divine authority, the magic net constructed by thousands of divine arts was shaking violently at this moment! Waves of darkness surged out from the depths of her authority, one after another, like a countercurrent. That was Shar's breath!

"Look." Qi's voice sounded softly, with a hint of pleasure and sarcasm, "She's here."

It seemed as if everything was under his control.

The golden scale was still hanging in the air, emitting a vast and boundless light, and under this light, the green aura began to gradually dim.

The "Spirit of the Blue Sky" that once bound the Goddess of the Demon Net, even though it burst out with ultimate divine power under the amplification of the scale, was finally gradually exhausted at this moment.

The green divine chain disintegrated bit by bit, the divine power returned to the void, and at this moment, the Goddess of the Demon Net slowly restored her divine sovereignty.

However, she has not fully recovered.

Qi threw his maple leaf-colored robe, and the maple leaves wrapped around his body, and he disappeared with the golden scales.
