Outside Longshan Hall.
The members of the Longshan family looked up at the sky, trembling.
There, one by one, enormous stars fell to the ground like rain.
Not just one or two stars fell, but entire regions, even the entire sky, were filled with falling stars.
This was unbelievable.
Everyone's mind was in a haze, dumbfounded by the shocking scene before them.
It was known in this world that the stars in the sky were not merely stars; they were the divine kingdoms of gods, symbols of their immortality.
Even those without any faith held the highest reverence for the stars in the sky, seeing them as the pinnacle of life's reach.
Over the long ages, almost everyone believed the stars in the sky were eternal. From birth to death, and from their descendants' birth to death, they always saw the same stars.
Therefore, for many people, the stars in the sky were as eternal as the heavens themselves.
But now, the understanding of the Longshan family members began to shatter as countless stars started to fall simultaneously.
"What is happening?"
"The stars are the divine kingdoms of the gods, how can they fall?"
"A divine kingdom falling means a god is falling, but how is that possible?"
"Gods are immortal, how can they fall?"
The members of the Longshan family were incredulous. Some even thought they were dreaming, but after slapping themselves and feeling the pain, their fear almost overflowed.
"No, the patriarch just entered the Sea of Light."
"The divine kingdoms are falling quickly, clearly something major has happened in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness. Could something have happened to the patriarch?"
Some members of the Longshan family thought further. Lin Yuan was the pillar of the Longshan family, set to lead the family to the pinnacle of the Plateau of Nations, but now this had happened?
"Let's hope the patriarch is alright."
Some of the elders of the Longshan family thought silently.
The stars falling from the sky, seen by the members of the Longshan family, were not exclusive to them.
At that moment, in the vast human world, in places where countless beings gathered, people also noticed the changes in the sky.
"The stars are falling?"
"Are gods falling?"
"How is this possible? How can so many gods fall at once?"
In many hidden corners, ancient demigod monsters who had lived for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years were also dumbfounded.
They lived longer and knew the history, understanding the existence of 'god wars.'
Gods were not incapable of falling; they lived so long that almost all beings believed gods were eternal.
But in reality, gods could die, especially during 'god wars.'
During 'god wars,' true gods from the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness would kill each other, leading to the fall of gods.
But even in the most brutal god wars, at most dozens or hundreds of gods would die. But now? The falling stars numbered in the thousands.
The hearts of many ancient demigod monsters began to slow because the scene before them shocked their souls. Some even wondered if the gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness had been wiped out in one go.
Otherwise, how could so many stars fall at once?
"What is happening?"
"What happened in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness?"
"Could it be the twenty-four main gods slaughtering the true gods?"
Many ancient demigod monsters couldn't help but speculate, their faces showing fear.
Only the main gods could cause such a mass fall of true gods, and not just one main god, but twenty-four main gods working together in a massacre.
If even one main god disagreed and resisted, the frequency of the falling stars would not be so high.
The ancient demigod monsters could deduce from the area and range of the falling stars that a massacre of true gods was happening in the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness.
This massacre was one-sided, with the true gods being slaughtered having no ability to resist.
This realization left many ancient demigod monsters disheartened. They didn't know how much they had sacrificed to ignite their divine fire and step into the seventh rank, then hide and secretly gather faith, hoping to condense a divine kingdom and elevate it.
But now they saw the true gods, who they had set as their ultimate goal, being slaughtered like pigs and dogs in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.
So, the gods they revered so highly could also be this weak? Unable to decide their own fate and only able to wait for death?
For a moment, many ancient demigod monsters' mental states wavered, and their ignited divine fire began to flicker.
What's the point of gathering faith? Of elevating a divine kingdom? Even if they became true gods and entered the Sea of Light, what then?
It might not be as safe or free as the human world.
"Why are the main gods slaughtering the true gods?"
"For faith? It can't be. The twenty-four main gods already control most of the faith in the human world. Even if they clean out all the true gods, their faith won't change qualitatively."
"Are they worried about their status being threatened? That's not possible either. Leaving aside the strength difference between main gods and true gods, the number of main gods is fixed. No matter how talented a true god is, without a main god core, they can't become a main god, let alone threaten a main god's status."
The ancient demigod monsters quickly exchanged thoughts.
"The noble twenty-four main gods, actually entering to massacre ordinary true gods." A younger demigod said resentfully, wanting to criticize the twenty-four main gods.
At that moment.
Higher in the sky, above all the stars, in the highest region where twenty-four enormous stars hung, the divine kingdoms of the main gods.
Now, following the fall of one star after another, the twenty-four enormous stars also began to fall.
One.
Two.
Five.
Ten.
In just a few breaths, more than ten main god divine kingdoms had fallen to the human world.
This left the demigods who were criticizing the twenty-four main gods completely silent, and then they fell into confusion.
So, it wasn't just true gods falling.
Main gods were also falling?
This scene filled all demigods with unprecedented terror.
Main gods were falling.
And in large numbers.
So, who was doing the slaughtering?
If it were the twenty-four main gods slaughtering the true gods, how could the main gods also be falling?
It should be known that battles between main gods were long and arduous. Even the strongest Lord of Light and Dark Lord would struggle to kill the weakest main god.
Let alone a one-sided massacre like this?
"What exactly happened in the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness?" An ancient demigod with their life nearing its end and divine fire about to burn out muttered.
The fall of main gods was something even 'god wars' had never seen.
"Ragnarok, this is Ragnarok." Another demigod thought silently.
"This is bad. The fall of divine kingdoms will cause unimaginable effects on the human world." A demigod seemed to realize something.
Even powerful demigods were shocked by the falling stars. A few, however, thought about what the falling stars would mean for the human world.
In the long ages past, god wars had caused several stars to fall to the human world, resulting in irreversible destructive impacts.
Tens of thousands of years had not seen recovery, and the forbidden places were the final resting places of fallen divine kingdoms.
After all, what fell were not just stars but divine kingdoms containing vast amounts of energy.
A few fallen stars had caused such severe consequences. Now, with so many stars falling, including the enormous main god divine kingdoms, if they truly landed, perhaps the human world would survive, but the beings living there would be wiped out.
Even the ancient demigod monsters might not survive.
"This is not Ragnarok; this is the end of all beings." A demigod appeared, no longer caring about hiding. After all, hiding wouldn't matter if they were going to die.
As for running? With the speed of the falling stars, where could they run? And with so many stars falling, running would still leave them within the range of the divine kingdoms.
Buzz!!!
As the many demigods looked pale and realized their imminent death, a black and white yin-yang light screen appeared, crossing the vast human world. It formed a 'giant net' that caught all the falling stars.
At both ends of the human world.
Lin Yuan's two primordial spirits, the Yin Spirit and the Yang Spirit, stood in mid-air.
The 'giant net' of yin-yang Tai Chi that spanned the entire human world was Lin Yuan's creation.
Long ago, Lin Yuan had plans for the divine kingdoms. These divine kingdoms, existing for tens of thousands of years, absorbed countless amounts of faith and contained massive amounts of pure energy.
Now, with Lin Yuan's main body going to the Sea of Light to negotiate with the gods, if the negotiations failed and a fight began, Lin Yuan would not waste the falling stars.
Even if he didn't need them, he could use 'primordial power' to restore the divine kingdoms to pure energy and have the essence gold absorb it.
Using an 'indirect' method to bring it back to the main world.
Rustle.
As the black and white yin-yang Tai Chi net opened, one by one, the divine kingdoms appeared in Lin Yuan's internal world.
To other ninth-rank powerhouses, their internal worlds would burst from accommodating so many divine kingdoms, including the main god divine kingdoms.
But Lin Yuan's internal world was nearly 200M miles in circumference, with 120 million layers of space.
Most importantly, Lin Yuan had three such internal worlds.
One with his main body, one with the Yang Spirit, and one with the Yin Spirit.
Over three hundred years, Lin Yuan's two primordial spirits had long since become flesh and blood through the 'Illusion to Reality' secret method. Using the mysterious gourd, they had expanded their bodies and internal worlds to their current limits.
"Too many, too many."
Lin Yuan felt joyful. Each divine kingdom entering his internal world would quickly be 'dissolved,' 'divided,' and then refined into the 'bell-shaped' essence gold.
In the vast human world.
The demigods who had been preparing to close their eyes and wait for death suddenly saw a black and white yin-yang Tai Chi 'giant net' appear under the sky.
The stars that fell toward the human world vanished as soon as they touched the 'giant net,' as if they had never existed.
"What is this? It can stop the falling divine kingdoms?"
The ancient demigod monsters were incredulous. The divine kingdoms falling from the sky carried terrifying energy and impact, far exceeding the power of a true god burning their divine body and power in a final strike.
The falling stars were like the gods burning everything in one final act. Even main gods couldn't withstand it.
But now, under the black and white 'giant net,' all the falling stars were easily neutralized, including the massive main god divine kingdoms.
"The owner of this 'giant net'..."
Some ancient demigod monsters felt a shiver. They guessed that the 'giant net's' owner was likely the source of the fall of the gods and main gods.
Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?
As soon as the stars began to fall, the 'giant net' caught them?
And to lightly block the impact of so many falling stars, killing gods and main gods seemed not impossible.
In the Sea of Light.
Under Lin Yuan's attack, terrifying power crushed everything it touched through layer upon layer of space.
In an instant, over eighty percent of the true gods fell. The remaining twenty percent were peak higher gods with sturdy divine bodies. Even if reduced to dust, they could reform.
In this world, gods had changed their life forms, abandoning their original flesh. Their divine bodies were made of the purest faith.
There were no flaws.
But unfortunately, under the repeated tremors of space layers, these higher gods, no matter how many times they reformed, would turn to dust again.
Even the high and mighty main gods, caught off guard, had their divine bodies destroyed many times. Lin Yuan's attack targeted the main gods, while the true gods only faced the aftermath.
Thus, a few true gods hadn't perished yet, but some main gods had already fallen.
"What is this power?"
"Magic Net Goddess, didn't you say the Longshan patriarch hadn't surpassed the ninth rank?"
"This is the supreme god; this is the power of the supreme god."
One by one, the main gods roared, using all their means to resist the attack penetrating through space layers, but to no avail. Their divine bodies shattered again and again.
Even with deep reserves, the main gods couldn't withstand their bodies being destroyed repeatedly.
"Run."
The main gods of the Abyss of Darkness tried to escape without hesitation, but quickly encountered the space barriers sealed by the Light God.
"Light God, you deserve to die."
The Abyss of Darkness main gods cursed the Light God. The space barrier sealing the Sea of Light was challenging to break for main gods, but only challenging.
It would take time.
But now, there was no time.
Boom, boom, boom.
One by one, the Abyss of Darkness main gods tried to escape but couldn't.
Today, more than 80% of the stars have fallen.
