It felt as if something had collided with the world, causing it to shake violently, yet it seemed like an illusion because not even a drop of juice spilled from the table.

At this moment, the [Eye of Profound Wisdom] had easily pierced through the roof of the carriage, revealing the drastically altered sky.

Hiss—!

Even Aiven, with his calm composure, couldn't help but take a sharp, cold breath.

From statues of the Ancient Gods or the Spirit Realm, he had witnessed what it meant to be twisted, grotesque, and terrifying.

They mostly consisted of fog, bat wings, chunks of flesh, tentacles, eyes, teeth, exposed innards... a blend of terrifying elements that, with a single glance, would inflict intense spiritual pollution on a person.

So, what would another world with entirely different rules look like?

Now, he was witnessing it!

Although it was still daylight outside, in his vision, the sky above had completely turned into a murky night sky.

It wasn't the misty, hazy kind, nor smog from atmospheric pollution, but like a spilled bottle of dyes, chaotic and colorful, a murk that incited repulsion.

Occupying the center of the entire night sky was an extraordinarily bizarre "sun."

The reason for using "sun" to define it was simply that Aiven couldn't think of a more appropriate word to describe it.

In fact, it seemed more like a brilliantly golden flat disc, with an old human face at its center, surrounded by countless worm-like evil spells.

Judging by the wrinkles covering its face, this malevolent existence seemed to be extremely ancient.

Its tongue was a ritual knife forged from obsidian, extending from its pitch-black mouth, dripping with saliva, as if waiting for humans to offer blood and hearts to nourish it.

The rays emitted from around this "sun" weren't light but billions of writhing golden tapeworms.

Those things covering the sky, akin to stars yet resembling eyes, were also covered in white mold, like they were decaying.

More peculiarly, from any direction one looked, it was always presented as a flat frontal view.

As holy as a god, yet as terrifying as an evil spirit.

But Aiven wasn't certain if it had consciousness or if it was merely a bizarre natural phenomenon.

As a [Divine Creature] with "higher-dimensional vision," when Aiven forced himself to cast his gaze outward despite the discomfort and fear, there was only one word in his sight—"turmoil"!

At the same time, a terrifying voice, hidden under a guise of sanctity and not relying on any language, continued to chant in his ears:

"Look up, the sky is vast;

Night falls, the stars fill the heavens;

The glorious era is no more, the apocalypse descends;

Break free of the cage, the awakened god;

Makes a strong return, blood floods the earth;

In His name, initiate the Era....

Horror! Horror! Horror!..."

The eardrums vibrated, a tremendous palpitation filled Aiven's heart as if his own heart had been placed on a platter.

Undoubtedly, this was an existence so terrifying that even a [Divine Creature] could neither comprehend nor resist!

On the other side.

Although Olivia and Liweina did not possess [Divinity] and couldn't see what was happening above them, their high-tier transcendent Spiritual Sense allowed them to acutely feel the presence of that dreadful entity.

Olivia, with a pale face, clutched Aiven's right hand, while Liweina, her face also devoid of color, instinctively grabbed Aiven's left hand, using her other arm to tightly hug Kristin, who seemed completely oblivious.

In reality, during this so-called "first impact," the higher the Extraordinary level, the stronger the sense of impending doom, while ordinary people felt nothing at all.

Aiven, however, realized that he had encountered a similar description before.

Information previously obtained from the bloodline gods of the Muriyan Civilization pointed out that the most lethal aspect of the "Era Catastrophe" primarily stemmed from two factors:

First, the impact of rule changes during the Spirit Realm shift.

The Spirit Realm, connected by the souls of sentient beings from various worlds, forms countless pipelines, eventually creating a magnificent river anchoring the corresponding world.

During the Era Catastrophe, the impact of rule tides would pour down like an irresistible flood, and the intense conflict of rules before and after would cause the majority of extraordinaries to ascend like fireworks.

Second, the rejection of rules in the new era.

Even if one survived the impact, they would suffer the same fate as the Ancient Gods and their beloved, turning into uncontrolled, degenerated, indescribable monsters.

Such treatment, with millions of people in an era, might only be granted to a mere twenty at most, which was the future the Goddess had chosen for Herself and Aiven.

Another place describing the Era Catastrophe is the"Zorjin Calendar"from the aboriginal civilization "Kuma Empire" on the New Continent.

In it, the Kuma people provide this description.

The oldest First Era "Gendaya Civilization" was ended by the Tiger God "Othello Tonatiuh": during this era, the world was inhabited by three-eyed people, but they were all eventually devoured by tigers.

The Second Era "Ehecoatl Civilization" was ended by the Air God "Ehecoatl": during this era, hurricanes ravaged the world, human flesh and bones scattered as dust, a tragic sight unbearable to witness.

The Third Era "Muriyan Civilization" was ended by a Celestial Fire Head Fire God "Quiyahuillo": in this era, celestial fire descended upon the earth, lava gushed from volcanoes, destroying all living creatures on the ground.

The Fourth Era "Zongderilic Civilization" was ended by the embodiment of floods "Chautliju": torrential rains poured down, floods spread everywhere, even the world's highest peaks were submerged in water.

Though called gods, Aiven speculated that they should resemble more the rules dominating the next era, manifested as natural phenomena.

Due to the intense rule conflicts, while destroying the existing Extraordinary World, it also incited a doomsday-like natural disaster.

However.

The information collected from various relics ultimately felt shallow when just on paper, and the authenticity of the "Zorjin Calendar" couldn't even be confirmed; only by truly experiencing it can one know what the specifics of the so-called Era Catastrophe are.

And combining past intelligence, the object appearing in the sky at this moment is very likely the one predicted in the "Kuma Empire" to end this era — the Sun God "Tonatiuh"!

Of course, just like looking at ancient gods, observing the next era from the current one can only show bizarre and peculiar scenes.

Additionally.

Aiven knew more clearly that as the legitimate humans of this era, the "Kuma Civilization" originally lived in the Northern New Continent "Broken Star Sea Coast Zone", which is also currently the duchy's territory.

The Azik people, inheriting the "Kuma Empire Civilization", once offered bloody sacrifices to this "Tonatiuh" god, delaying the Fifth Era's lifespan.

But now, it seems evident that it was all in vain.

If the "Spiritual Tide" causing the Era Catastrophe is like a big cat turning over in its sleep, then the previous omens are just like the cat unconsciously flicking its tail.

The "Spiritual Rules" in the "Spirit Realm", distinct from the past, began to gradually appear, clashing intensely with the existing rules.

The most direct consequence is the probability of Extraordinary individuals losing control should visibly increase until it peaks at the "Era Catastrophe".

"With the first impact, there should be a second and even a third impact until the era ends. During this time, we must uncover the secret 'Behind the Door'! Time waits for no one!"

Aiven glanced at Olivia beside him, then at Liweina and Kristin.

Originally, he thought his power's development and personal advancement speed were fast enough, but now an extremely strong sense of urgency flooded his heart once again.

Rumble...

After a long time, lightning streaked across the sky with rolling thunder, gradually tearing the filthy sky and the "Sun God" apart as if an irritable master was swinging a stick to drive out unwelcome guests from his house.

However, before completely disappearing, the human-faced sun revealed a strange smile.

The last light on its body suddenly condensed into sparkling dewdrops rolling in the air, then fell like dozens of meteors into the entire Material World.

"What is this?"

Swoosh—!

Releasing the hands of the two women, Aiven performed a King's Rook Castle to leap high into the air.

At the same time, in the Southern New Continent.

A towering mountain suddenly stood up, no smaller than the body size of the Super Giant Rock Golem: Mountain Giant, it was the "Immortal Rock" Luo Gandar.

Flap flap flap...

Countless moths in the mountains rose into the air, converging into a lady with slender eyes, adorned with two long whiskers, draped in a colorful cloak.

This was another Totem God "Lady Moth" Mercy.

The Demon God Aini, who had just disappeared, also reemerged, riding a fire cloud skyward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Over a dozen brilliant figures rose into the sky across the New Continent, rushing toward the meteor.

This incident startled all the hidden supernatural entities in the New Continent.

However, after years of vigilant defense, most Demon Gods had already distanced themselves from the Galliot Duchy; though vast in region, only five, including Demon God Aini, emerged.

"Is this... the other side of the 'Spirit Realm' in the corresponding position in the Material World? 9,460.5 billion kilometers away? Kushitia Star? Who can reach there? But, there's still..."

After capturing a seemingly real yet illusory crystal, a stream of information flowed into Aiven's mind.

Just at this moment.

Boom!

Another loud crash, the entire New Continent trembled slightly, as if a colossal dragon underground flipped over.

The "Bronze Talisman" in Aiven's embrace hummed simultaneously.

Undoubtedly, due to this impact, the "Spiritual Overflow" in the New Continent that had lasted for over a decade was about to reach its turning point!

"Goddamn it!"

Not only did Aiven show no joy on his face, but he also cursed under his breath.

The "Totem Gods" rooted in the New Continent can seize the overflowing "Spiritual Origin" through special connections, but the northern part of the continent has been unified, and no one can touch Aiven's land of abundance.

Even if a Demon God occasionally intrudes on his turf, they can't outcompete him.

However, with the "Ultimate Origin," which enables one to ascend to the demigod throne in a single step, about to be born, it will undoubtedly draw all sorts of supernatural entities to the New Continent!
