After closing the prompt, Su Wan sat back down. She ordered her maid to bring her another cup of tea.
Aside from the God of Lies and Deception, she was also excited about the news of the rise of the Death Swamp.
It would mean having an entire army of transcendental soldiers!
After months of effort, the forces within the Death Swamp had now reached nearly twenty thousand.
The upgrade meant having transcendental soldiers directly at hand! This was truly exhilarating!
These were transcendental soldiers, not ordinary minor troops!
Even in the recent war between the Gods’ Alliance and the Crimson Moon, transcendental soldiers played a pivotal role.
In the current situation, strengthening the army at hand was a cause for celebration.
Moreover, the current chaos had yet to reach its peak. It was the beginning of the gods being stripped of their authority.
Next, the three major sides of the Abyss, Hell, and Undead would form an alliance with the Main Plane.
The Gods who had lost their authority would once again wander within the Main Plane.
That would truly be a time of great turmoil.
Although they were located deep within the desert, no one knew if their territory would be safe.
While the danger wasn’t here yet, there was always a possibility.
The sky dimmed. Silver moonlight filtered into the hall through the open windows. It intertwined with the glow of magical lamps.
Holding Su Wan’s small hand, Xu Yuan walked to the window. Both of them looked up at the full moon.
After the revival of the ancient gods and stripping away of the new ones, what else would happen?
The stars in the night sky started to shimmer.
What was happening?
Xu Yuan and Su Wan were both awed by this magnificent sight, and their intuition told them that this beautiful phenomenon didn’t seem to bode well.
The radiance of the stars reached its peak, and a dreadful sound roared like thunder. Something descended from the sky.
Accompanying the sound were countless cries of pain and despair.
The voices converged and formed a terrifying echo that tore at their eardrums.
Amidst the numerous chaotic and horrifying sounds, they could vaguely see something that sent shivers down their spines.
The brilliant stars in the sky were the shattered divine kingdoms of the gods!
Sentient beings in the Main Plane tilted their heads upward. Their gazes focused on the dazzling starry sky. They were all in shock.
Gods had fallen!
The greedy, ambitious nobles were now caught in even greater revelry.
As the twinkling stars in the sky dissipated, countless nobles sent out their most powerful armies to seize the churches. They aimed to be the first to squeeze out the last drops of profit.
The next day, the stars shone even more brightly.
Amidst the despair of many believers, a piece of news spread across the world from the Northern Empire.
The powerful god of the Northern Empire, the God of Winter, had descended to the mortal realm.
He arrived at the Northern Empire’s main cathedral.
However, the nobles who were pillaging the church paid no attention to this madman impersonating a god.
The enraged god watched as the church was desecrated. His anger flared. He waved his hand and froze a thousand-strong army into stillness. Among them were two transcendental beings!
Simultaneously, the priests who had been destroyed and stripped of their power began to regain their strength. Though their numbers weren’t many, it was enough to make a point!
The news caused a massive sensation, and countless followers of the God of Winter hurried over.
A figure draped in robes of ice and snow hovered in the sky and then unveiled the robes.
All the followers were thrown into a fervor.
The God of Winter declared his return with an undisguised show of dominance.
The Northern Empire was shaken.
The news spread rapidly across the Main Plane via the Lords.
The nobles, who had been extremely arrogant toward the sects, suddenly were frightened.
Some fearful ones returned their riches to the sects.
The appearance of the God of Winter seemed like a signal. Over the next few days, gods began appearing one after another.
The renowned top-tier gods appeared in churches all around the world.
Up until this moment, everyone realized with terror that the gods hadn’t completely vanished. They instead descended to the mortal realm.
Even though the gods had lost their divine kingdoms and their divine powers, these gods now appeared among the people and instilled fear.
It was shocking. Many people feared this.
Another god from the Beast God lineage, the God of the Wolves, had fallen.
What was astonishing was that this god was exceedingly fierce but was killed by a legend who hadn’t even ascended to demigod status!
Mortals defeating a god was impossible!
Even more importantly, after killing the God of Wolves, that legend directly ascended to demigod status. It was a tremendous advancement that countless people had dreamed of.
The impact of this news far exceeded that of the god’s descent!
The forces who had feared the gods heard this news and began researching more about gods and how to defeat them.
They realized for the first time that the gods appearing in the Main Plane were no longer high and mighty. They were not invincible.
They could bleed, get injured, and even be defeated!
The forces that were initially anxious and unsettled began to grow restless.
The idea of slaying gods spread like madness.
Lord Su Wan’s hero, Lord of Slaughter, became an example of a God-slayer. The fall of the God of Wolves made everyone realize that the gods were no longer unreachable beings!
The next day, the main plane was completely ignited by another piece of news.
The mid-tier god of the Fortress Tribe, the Lord of Hills, was beheaded by the elves. This not only left the Fortress Tribe furious but also delighted the ambitious Lords.
This god’s fall once again proved that they were vulnerable. It was something that could be accomplished.
Following this, some of the forces that had previously just watched the sects turned fierce once again and sought information about gods.
Meanwhile, the gods who had announced their return and rallied their followers quietly accumulated power.
Pandora’s box had been opened, and no one could predict the outcome.
The flames of war in the Main Plane escalated, and discussions about the war on the forums increased as well.
The entire world became a powder keg. One wrong move and it would erupt.
In the wake of this, the prices of various commodities began to soar. The prices of food, weapons, and magical potions rose every day, and the prices of nests for advanced units on the trading market also surged significantly.
Amidst this turmoil, heavy news reached Su Wan’s ears..
