121: Section 121

The ambitious trembled with fear.

The conspirators were at a loss.

Even those focusing on development behind closed doors were scared witless.

Even Death God Karl wore a rare "what the hell" expression of confusion.

Civilizations under the rule of Justice breathed a sigh of relief; good, the situation hadn't reached an uncontrollable point yet!

Space-faring civilizations not under the rule of Justice frantically contacted one another—not to stir up trouble, but simply to uncover the truth...

The various God-making civilizations, like cats with their fur standing on end, incessantly sent out diplomatic requests, intending to represent their civilizations in a closed-door meeting with the King of Gods. They were desperate to have Queen Kaisha retake the reins of Order! As long as Queen Kaisha agreed, any conditions were negotiable!

As for the lower-tier civilizations...

Civilizations that had yet to enter the pre-nuclear age believed a miracle had occurred. That day, faith in the Goddess of Justice exploded across the universe.

Civilizations in the pre-nuclear age were completely bewildered.

No way!

Is the universe really this lively?

And "King of Gods"?

Heh!—

Who bestowed that title?

Earth was particularly dazed.

Nations outside of Donghuang looked toward a certain great Eastern power: "Rabbit, what are you up to?"

Why on earth is an alien broadcast in Chinese?

And it's in freaking standard Mandarin!

Be honest, do you have some shady deal with the aliens?

No way! Alien friendship should be shared globally!

Rabbit: "I don't know.jpg!"—

Whether others believed it or not was unknown, but the Western nations led by the USA resolutely refused to believe it.

They even brought out "Don't say you weren't warned."

Saying you have no connection... heh, who'd believe that?

The Vatican's sky had collapsed, and the Lord's devout believers were practically dying of shock...

Good news: Angels really exist! And they're aliens...

Bad news: Angels use Chinese!

Moreover, just from the voice, it was clear the King of Gods was a lofty Goddess!

Thus, an editorial titled "Subversion: God is Actually a Goddess" was published online half an hour later!

The Vatican denounced this as heresy, and the Iscariot Organization stated that heretics should be sent to the stake to be burned to a crisp!

This really stirred up a hornet's nest.

"Angels Descend! But They Became Mandarin Promotion Ambassadors"!

"That Day, the King of Gods Pinned Down Newton's Coffin Lid"!

"Reincarnation: My Encounter with the King of Gods"!

"Cosmic Sociology: On the Practical Dangers of Theological Supremacy"!

"Preview of a God-Centric Social Model: The Status of Science May Be in Jeopardy"!

"On the Possibility of Ascending to Godhood via Technology"!

Outlandish web novels and rigorous academic papers flew everywhere. The Earth's internet was in total chaos, and Du Cao, looking at these pages, nearly had a myocardial infarction!

Chapter 138 - Morgana: What Am I?

The first and second ones were barely normal; though a bit clickbaity, they were at least making reasonable deductions based on known information.

Is a novel like "Reincarnation: My Encounter with the King of Gods" for real?

An encounter, really!

Heh!—

Du Cao was so angry he laughed.

If the Angel Queen knew about this, she’d definitely fire off a Heavens Blade Great Judgment!

There should be a limit to clout-chasing on trending news, you bastards!

Other nonsensical conjectures were even more baffling. Hearing "Gods," they thought it was a revival of mythology. Those are freaking technological gods, don't they understand?!

Fortunately.

There were still steadfast materialist warriors setting things right.

Someone put out the article "On the Possibility of Ascending to Godhood via Technology"; otherwise, Du Cao would have been angry enough to have a brain hemorrhage!

What if the development of the civilization was led astray?

However.

Looking at the backend.

Du Cao's face darkened.

The poster's ID: Wind Whisperer!

Dammit!—

Lian Feng, really... at least change your IP address first!

"Dad, what was that Dark Plane broadcast just now?"

With a bang, the door was kicked open.

Before Du Cao could scold her, Rose's slightly panicked question was thrown in his face.

Forget it, forget it.

She's his dear daughter after all; he'd bear with her for now!

Du Cao said helplessly:

"It's not clear yet. The Super Gene Academy says that the broadcast was indeed the work of the Angel Civilization—a personal statement from Holy Kaisha..."

"—A season of many troubles!"

Sighing, Du Cao took the materials he had just finished organizing and stood up to leave.

Rose grew anxious:

"Dad, where are you going?"

Raising the mobile hard drive in his hand, Du Cao didn't hide it:

"This happened so suddenly. I'm preparing to send some data to the higher-ups. Also... the Black Great Wall Project should be put on the agenda!"

Just then.

Yu Qin arrived in a hurry:

"General Du Cao, an urgent notice from above. You are required to head to North Star immediately to undergo questioning by the elders of the management."

"I understand. I'm leaving now."

Seeing the two walking out in a hurry, Du Rose quickly followed with a teleport.

On the other side.

Advancing toward the Chiwu Stellar System through subspace channels and pulled by the Great Worm Bridge, the Taotie were now also feeling their scalps go numb.

This was a critical period, with only a few months left before the Millennium Expedition Plan could be executed.

The King of Gods announced her abdication, leading the Angel Civilization into a phase of strategic defense!

It sounded like a great thing.

Without the Angels interfering.

Without the constraints of Justice.

The Taotie could fully let loose and go all out.

However.

Queen Kaisha had one more sentence!

[Justice remains!]

[Don't say you weren't warned!]

With such a statement, who would dare to be the first to stick their neck out?

Anyone could guess that for the sake of maintaining their civilization's reputation, the Angel Legion would be on high alert for the next few years!

If there is any provocation...

The Heavens Blade Army would arrive in an instant... Did they really think it was a joke?

The Angels have already moved into a strategic defense phase, and you jump out to cause trouble at this critical moment!

Either you think you aren't dying fast enough...

...or you think the Angels lack the spirit to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys?

What to do?

Xionglu and Fenglei looked at each other for a long time, eventually having no choice but to report upward and seek guidance from higher levels.

However...

King of the Taotie, Shi Hao, thought so too.

And he immediately went to the Death Song Academy to request an audience with Death God Karl.

"My God Karl, Queen Kaisha's statement..."

Waving a hand to interrupt Shi Hao's question, Karl pondered for a moment and finally made up his mind:

"After arriving at the Chiwu Stellar System, lie low for a while. This happened suddenly, and now all factions are closely scouting for information..."

"In short, wait until the situation becomes clear before acting."

"Go now!"

Shi Hao was stunned, but he still bowed to accept the Order and withdrew from the Death Song Academy.

What Shi Hao didn't know...

...was that the moment he left, his god received a face-to-face mockery.

"Karl, you're still as weak as ever! Has a casual statement from Kaisha already left you shivering with fear?"

The voice that abruptly emerged from the Dark Plane was magnetic and slightly raspy, yet it sounded like honey-dipped wind chimes, making one's heart sway.

Despite the mocking words...

...it carried an inherent sense of enchantment.

"Liang Bing, this is necessary caution!"

"Bullshit! You're just purely a coward! Also, call me Queen Morgana!"

That's right, the speaker was none other than the Demon Queen, Morgana!

The most abstract goddess in the Known Universe, and also the most evil Shenhe Body in the Known Universe!

However, Morgana was currently in her resurrection phase. She should have only maintained basic perception of the outside world while focusing on strengthening her Fourth-Generation Spacetime God Body.

As it turned out...

Kaisha's sudden statement left her with no heart to continue, so she sought out Karl for an explanation.

"Alright, Queen Morgana."
