Once again, it was that boundless space between existence and non-existence, between reality and illusion, between Spirit and matter, between the Spirit Realm and the material world.

Clang! Clang! Clang!...

The sacred bell tolled of its own accord, and one after another, majestic figures as dazzling as suns descended here in succession. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Some were wreathed in surging tides, some were three-dimensionally encircled by the maddening buzz of mosquitoes and flies, some exuded a bone-piercing chill as sharp as blades, and some were themselves performing an opera...

Aside from the frequently seen faces such as "Angel of Disease" Baalzebub, "Funeral God" Sinotoglis, "Cold Monarch" Mordician, "Just Angel" Aihote, "Mother of Sea Monsters" Echet...

"Thousand-Faced Moon" Kohol, "God of Music and Opera" Tru Ningbra... all those very active old acquaintances.

"Slaughter Angel" Kshatriya and "Inciting Angels" Ratatoskr, the two powerful Angels assigned by the God of Black Wings to "maintain stability" in the mortal world according to the Seven Gods Agreement, were likewise present.

However.

What was truly strange was that the Demon Gods, who should, like these Evil Gods and Ancient Gods, also belong to the evil camp, did not show up at all.

Even "God of Deceit" Baimon, who had already made a pact and was helping the Evil Gods handle the Remnant Race's nails together with the "Death Messenger", was nowhere to be seen.

Too proud to mingle with the rest? What a joke!

Once everyone had arrived.

The incarnation of the True God, "Violence Angels", sat amidst surging bloodlight, clad in black Knight armor, six blood-colored wings trembling behind His back.

He toyed with a transparent crystal in His hand and spoke faintly to the Evil Gods present:

"Although we ran into a small incident in the middle and wasted a bit of time, the [Mythical Battleship: Nagilfa] is already nearing completion—only a high-quality blood sacrifice remains.

However, on the other side, it seems the [Capital Tide] is not progressing very smoothly?"

His blood-red, tyrannical gaze swept across the Gods, making "God of Music and Opera", the one directly responsible, break out in a cold sweat.

The phantoms of countless performers surrounding Him seemed frightened as well and all darted back into His body.

Those who could read newspapers, had the cultivation, money, and time to appreciate music and opera were mostly middle and upper class to begin with, and were not easy to penetrate down to the grassroots.

After radios and broadcasting stations produced by the Galliot Duchy gradually spread, even though the "God of Music and Opera" poured massive Divine Power into enlightening related practitioners and cooperated with the "National Democratic Foundation" to stir up democratic movements in various countries...

The heavy blows He suffered felt almost like Dimension Reduction strikes.

After shooting Him a warning glance, the "Violence Angels", who was definitely not a tolerant God, spoke in a deep voice:

"Tru Ningbra, do whatever it takes to produce results. I do not want to hear bad news again."

"Y-Yes, great Main God! If necessary, I shall personally take the field!"

The "God of Music and Opera" felt as if granted amnesty and promised again and again.

Inwardly, however, His thoughts were running wild: "If only I were the 'God of Media' instead."

After the Evil Gods each finished summarizing the work under their charge, the "Violence Angels" finally assigned new tasks:

"We have lain dormant long enough. Start the hunting plan. Before the Second Impact arrives, procure a sufficient number of Tier 4 and above sacrifices!"

"As you command, Main God!"

Tossing the crystal in His hand, this incarnation of the God of Black Wings continued:

"Here is a piece of advice: regardless of whether you obtained the [Spirit Realm Beacon] spread by 'Tonatiuh' or not...

If you do not wish to become fish on the chopping block, then do not attempt to contact those Spirit Realm Lords who are older than the True Gods and more cunning than devils..."

All the Gods felt a chill in their hearts; when it came to the God of Black Wings' intelligence, they placed great trust in it.

"Remember this: if you wish to survive the Era Catastrophe, if you want to escape this endless nightmare, then aside from us—everything in this world is a Sacrifice!"

His last sentence was laden with meaning.

....

The "Broken Star Sea" lay only a few hundred kilometers from "Zongderilic" of the Dongyi Islands, and was also the foremost frontier of humanity's current exploration.

Rumble!

A gigantic creature nearly twelve meters tall, its entire body covered in long hair and outwardly resembling a savage, crashed down into a valley littered with the bones of various animals.

A sixteen-meter-long juvenile "Flame Prison Dragon" swooped down from midair, stamping one foot on its back and adding a mouthful of Blazing Dragon Breath hot enough to melt gold and iron, then declared triumphantly:

"Submission or Death?"

However, all that answered him was the giant's incredibly weak roar of rage.

"Calvin, stop wasting your time.

This branch of giants has suffered severe bloodline degradation; even their Wisdom has clearly regressed to the Primitive People era. Asking them to really use their brains to communicate is honestly too much for them."

Right behind the Flame Prison Dragon—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Six more streaks of Flowing Light, who had already taken care of the other giants in this island's giant tribe, descended from the sky.

"Elder Senior Sister!"

The campaign against the "Broken Star Sea" was the Humanized World's general offensive against the Natural World.

At the same time, the secret of the [World's Favor] was also deliberately revealed to the masses by some people.

After the "Extraordinary Isolation" collapsed, countless people, driven by the dream of becoming "Extraordinary, above other men", joined the pioneer corps.

The Galliot Duchy in the north and the Golden Palm Federation in the south, who understood the "Broken Star Sea" best, advanced the fastest and thus split the largest portion of the [World's Favor].

Under the leadership of Aiven's eldest disciple, Angie—

Second disciple Calvin, third disciple Jacob, fourth disciple Kael, fifth disciple Bach, as well as the sisters Clareesa and Leonara—the backbone of the School had all fought their way into the "Broken Star Sea".

With the endless stream of [World's Favor], and on top of that, Aiven's years of supplying them with the [Spiritual Origin] produced across the northern continent...

Even a pig would have been enough to evolve into Second Senior Brother by now, let alone these elites meticulously cultivated by Aiven?

A few months ago, with Calvin successfully redeeming Second Senior Brother's dignity, Aiven's direct disciples of the "Life Tree School" finally announced their collective advancement to Tier 3!

After Calvin advanced to Great Wizard via the "Evolution Theory", the ability he obtained was [Talent Magic: Survival of the Fittest].

Possessing High-Level Transformation Technique and an incredibly strong survival ability, the range of "Native Species" he could cover was second only to Aiven, and the Flame Prison Dragon was only one of his strongest forms.

A human fetus could complete in just ten months in its mother's womb a metamorphosis that took life on Earth nine hundred million years to complete. And this series of miraculous transformations all comes from the memory of genetic information.

The cells within a human body also contain all the genetic information recording the process of biological evolution, so he could transform into any creature as his mind willed.

Jacob, by virtue of the "Life Tree Diagram", obtained the [Talent Magic: Ancient Resurgence].

By relying on the "Life Tree Diagram" to reawaken the ancient bloodlines within his body, he could obtain the knowledge, power, and Extraordinary Ability precipitated in the depths of his blood.

Kael, through the "Vaccine Theory", gained the ability [Talent Magic: Modulated Pathogen].

His research mainly focused on various pathogens; he was also the grand synthesizer of Leon's "Magic Potion", Dr. Taylor's "Vesalian School", and the "Poison Plague School".

He could freely control pathogenic microorganisms (such as bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, etc.) and their metabolic products, using them to make vaccines and other pharmaceuticals, or, just like the former "Poison Plague School", turning them into all kinds of sinister Witchcraft.

Combined with Angie's [Magic-like Technique: Perfect Creatures] obtained through the "Golden Chain"; Clareesa's alternative perpetual biological engine, [Magic-like Technique: Fruit of Life];

And Leonara's ability to adjust her own evolution direction to choose the optimal solution, and even borrow strength from the future—[Talent Magic: Evolution Clock].

Relying on these six branches of knowledge and the five-hundred-thousand-year accumulation of the entire "Life Tree School", the "Genetic Theory" Aiven had established was gradually approaching completion.

As the nine "Angels" on the same path who supported Aiven's climb up the "Life Tree" to pluck the [Crown of Miracles] returned one by one to their places, the Tier 5 [Truth Embodiment] path had quietly opened its Gate to him!
