Chapter 44: Blue Star, the Chessboard of Two Deities
Crack! Crack!
The sky split open, and a cold, twisted aura forcefully tore through the sky of Blue Star.
It was a terrifying scene, stirring up a storm of speculation about the end of the world in the technologically advanced Blue Star.
No one could know what the countless spatial rifts in the sky represented, nor could they see what lay behind the fissures.
But the instinct rooted in the deepest recesses of genes, honed by the cruel natural world, kept reminding humanity that behind these spatial rifts lurked extremely dangerous predators.
Predators far superior to humanity!
“What do those rifts represent…”
In the Tianlong Pavilion, the imperial capital of Summer Country.
The old man looked out of the window with a worried expression, hands clasped behind his back, emitting a heavy sigh.
In the previous century, Summer Country had gone through its most difficult times. Now was a critical stage for recuperation and breakthroughs, and it couldn’t afford any major setbacks or disturbances.
“As expected, whether in the real world or the simulated world, even though the timeline has changed, this old man’s unwavering dedication to Summer Country remains unchanged.”
Jiang Yi, who had just arrived at the Tianlong Pavilion, couldn’t help but admire.
He deliberately revealed his presence, and under the old man’s inexplicable gaze, slowly raised a finger, pointing towards the man’s head.
This gesture was simply to impart some basic information to the old man for better communication.
“Observer? A watcher of human history’s changes?… Is such an existence truly real?!”
The old man, having received all the information, looked at Jiang Yi with suspicion and uncertainty.
In his eyes, Jiang Yi’s appearance, posture, and physique were invisible, replaced by a vague blur, existing in the intersection between reality and virtuality.
A god was not to be looked upon directly!
For some unknown reason, a phrase popped into the old man’s mind.
And thus, while feeling his scalp tingle, the old man also roughly believed in the existence of the observer before him, one who truly oversaw the past, present, and future of humanity.
A peculiar deity who enjoyed watching the struggles and evolution of myriad species.
“Under the Observer’s gaze, may I ask… why have you specifically come?” the old man asked cautiously, choosing his words carefully.
His demeanor was so cautious, his tone so solemn, that it would surprise anyone who knew him.
“My purpose?”
Jiang Yi’s tone paused slightly. With indifferent eyes, he glanced at the old man before looking out the window at the gradually healing spatial rifts.
“I am an observer. Under normal circumstances, I do not intervene in anything.
“The reason for my appearance is merely to give humanity a warning,” Jiang Yi said meaningfully, “Blue Star has attracted the attention of an ancient overlord. If changes are not made soon, humanity will be slaughtered by its minions.”
Human extinction?
Is such a thing really possible?
Suddenly, the old man recalled the spatial rifts he had just seen, as if understanding something, his eyes widening.
Jiang Yi nodded slightly, good, under his manipulation, the old man’s thoughts were successfully led astray as planned.
After waiting patiently for a while, the highest authority figure of Summer Country finally calmed his mind.
“Under the Observer’s gaze…” the old man contemplated his actions for a moment, respectfully inquiring of Jiang Yi, “could you please tell me what exactly the ancient overlord signifies?”
Silence.
Inside the Tianlong Pavilion, silence reigned.
Without immediately answering the old man’s question, Jiang Yi looked at him calmly until the old man felt his scalp tingle before speaking.
“The ancient overlord holds many meanings. But in terms most easily understood by humans, you can think of it as an Evil God, a true deity.”
!!!!!
Looking at the mysterious and inscrutable observer before him, the old man’s pupils contracted violently, his heart pounding wildly, his heart rate becoming abnormal.
An Evil God, the spatial rifts that appeared just now over Blue Star were actually caused by a true deity.
Undoubtedly, the observer before him was also a divine being of immortal level.
What merit or capability did Blue Star possess to attract the attention of two true deities? Perhaps… Blue Star had long become the battlefield where two deities were playing their game.
And humanity was the pawn selected by the Observer!
Thinking of this, the old man felt Jiang Yi before him was even more terrifying. Beneath that calm, invisible body seemed to lie boundless and immense power.
“Respected… Observer,” the old man forced himself to raise his head and respectfully asked Jiang Yi, “may I inquire if there is any way to prevent the extinction of humanity?”
Jiang Yi didn’t speak, but instead, under the old man’s frightened gaze, produced a vial of potion from the empty void.
Not magic, nor visual effects.
It was truly creating something from nothing!
At Jiang Yi’s gesture, the old man carefully took the potion. Inside, the liquid displayed a gorgeous crimson color, even more radiant than a ruby.
“Observer, what is this?” the old man asked.
“Gene Serum Type IV. It’s the fourth-generation gene serum developed by humans in another timeline on Blue Star. It can unlock the gene shackles of the human body, unleash human potential, and if one’s talent is high enough, they can even become a transcendent being,” Jiang Yi explained slowly.
However, the content contained within made the old man’s eyelids twitch even more joyfully.
How terrifying!
Indeed, it was a supreme deity who considered human civilization as playthings, easily intervening in time and space to take what they wanted from parallel timelines.
With this in mind, the old man subconsciously tightened his grip on the vial of Gene Serum Type IV.
Anything personally bestowed by the mysterious Observer was bound to be extremely precious. If researched, it might truly offer humanity a glimmer of hope!
Just as the old man was about to thank Jiang Yi, he looked up to find that the latter had already disappeared.
Just like when he arrived, the departure of the figure was silent and stealthy, without any disturbance.
“Is this the game of two gods…” Looking at the vial tightly held in his hand, the old man smiled bitterly, “in that case, Summer Country must work even harder as a pawn, not to disappoint that Observer.”
