At the same time.
In the distant God realm.
In the Angel temple, a black light suddenly swept in all directions.
"The Evil One.... It's the Evil One!"
The frightened and angry voice of the Angel God stopped abruptly after passing hundreds of miles.
In the God Realm, more than a dozen deities came upon hearing the news.
But they saw a scene that made people...No, Gods terrified.
There were countless golden lights raining down.
The hearts of the Gods chilled, how many years has it been since a God died.
The Angel God actually died.
.
"Great... Great worship, are you okay?"
After Qian Daoliu failed to establish contact with God Realm after countless times, Golden Crocodile Douluo asked cautiously.
He did not know why but when he looked at Qian Daoliu's pale face, he had a bad feeling.
My God, something may have happened to my God.
"It's over, it's over. No matter how I communicate, I still can't establish contact with my God... This is something I haven't seen in my life of a Great worship for hundreds of years. So... .Do you think it's okay?"
Qian Daoliu's face looks like it was covered in frost, thinking about all the things that happened up till now due to Golden Crocodile Doulou.
Otherwise, there will not be any Evil One invading and attacking the Angel God, and he would not have lost contact with the God.
He still remembered the sound of surprise from the angel God when he saw the projection of the axe.
But as a servant who has served the God of angels for hundreds of years, he can tell that behind his suprise, there was a trace of panic hidden.
Even if it is hidden deep, he still heard it.
The Angel God was afraid.
This is very unacceptable, but he has to believe it.
The Angel God is afraid of the projection of the axe, and he even more afraid of the owner of the axe, the so-called Evil One.
But who exactly is this Evil One?
It stands to reason that such a powerful existence should leave a prestigious name in the history of Douluo Continent.
But he hadn't heard of it at all, and even the Spirit Hall had no related records about the Evil One.
This is very strange.
Could it be that the Gods concealed something that happened thousands of years ago?
But what happened?
"Great worship, I'm not to blame. It's not easy for me..."
Golden Crocodile Douluo was feeling wronged.
The words of Great Worship are not kind, its like he was not a victim but his martial spirit has been damaged and his strength has also regressed.
Even in the future, he has to bear the infamy of strength reduction. He would even be ridiculed by people he looked down upon previously.
Its too hard.
"It has nothing to do with you? Too naive, things are far more complicated than you think. We were calculated from the beginning."
Qian Daoliu frowned and said with a heavy tone.
After thinking for a long time, he felt that he had deduced the ins and outs of the matter.
Golden Crocodile Douluo was a little at a loss. "We were calculated from the beginning? Who else in the world would dare to calculate and harm the Spirit Hall?"
"Didn't you hear what my God was telling before he went offline?"
"The Evil One, the Evil One's weapon, could it be ..."
"Yes. What you think is correct. There is a Evil God in Douluo Continent, and his strength is so great that even the Angel God feels terrified."
Qian Daoliu expressed his guess that he had in his heart, although he also felt it was a bit of a joke, but this seemed to be the truth.
There is even another message hidden in the tone of the God of Angels. It seems that the Gods have already know about this Evil One, but the other party has disappeared for nearly a thousand years.
Suddenly the Evil One came out again.
The only thing Qian Daoliu didn't expect was that the Evil One was hiding in the Star Dou Forest. He secretly laid out a trap and led them into the trap step by step.
"This, all of this is the plan of the Evil One?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo opened his mouth and spoke dryly.
"If it weren't for the situation at this time, even I wouldn't believe it."
Qian Daoliu smiled bitterly: "Think about it, why did Chrysanthemum Doulou and Ghost Douluo encounter Azure Bull Python when they went in last time? That is because their strength is not enough. The Evil One should have know that even if the martial spirit of the other party is damaged, it will not attract me to take action. So he chose to put the long line to catch the big fish and scared the Chrysanthemum Doulou and the Ghost Douluo away."
"At that time, I didn't believe them and went to the Star Dou Forest to find out..." Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately understood.
The Great worship analysis is really justified.
Now he felt a cold sweat behind him, as if he had an invisible big hand in controlling his own destiny.
Even a strong man like himself and Qian Daoliu were like a chess piece in his hand.
Fear.
It's horrible.
"Yes. He waited for you."
Qian Daoliu became more sure, "I believe you have also seen the power displayed by the projection of the axe. Even the projection of my God on the Douluo Continent can be easily smashed, and it has still prevented me from contacting my God. It's terrifying. If you say that this power can't even you annihilate you, do you believe it?"
I do not believe. Of course I don't believe it... Golden Crocodile Douluo's heart palpitated for a while, even if he doubled his strength, he couldn't stop the terrifying attack.
To tell the truth before, he was thankful that he had escaped under such a terrifying axe.
Thinking about it now, it's so silly.
It turned out that the other party didn't even want to kill him.
It was a trick to catch my God.
Stupid, I'm so stupid.
Qian Daoliu saw the regret in Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes and persuaded him: "Golden Crocodile Doulou, you don't have to blame yourself too much. The Evil One is in the dark and we were in the light, so it is impossible to guard against him.
Who would have thought that the other party would use the hand of Bone Douluo to injure you with an evil weapon, causing us to make a wrong judgment, thinking that you were injured by the twin spirits. This gave the other party a chance to attack our God by the hidden hand hidden in your body when my God's projection descended to heal your injuries. "
"Thinking about it now, we still didn't think about it. There is no axe martial arts soul that can hurt people that much. Otherwise, the title of the world's first weapon martial spirit of the Clear Sky Hammer would have changed hands. It's not that we are too naive, but the Evil One's plan is too deep."
Qian Daoliu smiled bitterly.
"This, this, this... I am guilty."
Before Golden Crocodile Douluo wanted to say that he was a victim, after all, he was already in a miserable condition.
However, now it seems that it is impossible to keep away from blame.
Because Qian Daoliu's analysis is very reasonable, just like the real thing.
"I can't blame you, it can only be said that we don't know much about the Evil One. So I decided to find out the truth in person."
Qian Daoliu said firmly.
"Great worship, think twice." Golden Crocodile Douluo was anxious. Qian Daoliu is his only backer, and if he goes and never returns, his good days will come to an end.
"No, I have decided. You don't know, I suspect that Evil One's strength should still be in an extremely weak state now, otherwise, why did calculate so much against the Angel God? He could have just kill him."
Qian Daoliu gave another speculation of his own.
Hiss...He is indeed a Great worship, and he is so reasonable in inferring the meaning...but why does he feel so uneasy, as if something bad is going to happen?
Golden Crocodile Douluo frowned secretly, but he also knew that Qian Daoliu was the same as him before.
If he doesn't see it for himself then he won't listen to others.
The only thing he can do now is pray for him.
"I wish the Great worship a grand success."

MAY 5
WORLD PASSWORD DAY
____________________________________________
They're strange, they're complex, they're everywhere, and we forget them far more than is absolutely healthy for us. No, I am not talking about anniversaries (though sometimes I am! You'll see what I mean). I am talking about your passwords!
We use them to secure the most private parts of our lives and to help protect our finances, our health records, or maybe just our emails. World Password Day reminds us of the importance of these little crypto-keys and the role they play in making sure we keep hold of our lives, identity thieves are everywhere, and these are your first digital line of defense.
Passwords have been around as long as people have been keeping secrets. However, most people think of them as what we put into the box that follows Username and Email on all those websites.
But long before that, they served just as important a role, especially in espionage and secret societies. When you want to ensure that the person you were speaking to was the person sent by your organization, why, you'd ask them for the password!
Secret Organizations like the Masons and other fraternal organizations also often asked for these before letting you through the door. Without a way to keep the secrets secret, it wouldn't be much of a secret society, would it?
Nowadays, such things are of far less concern, but digital protection has become absolutely vital to our day to day existence. Sometimes it's just protecting our identity on our favorite web forum, and almost everyone has a Facebook account to protect.
The problem is, where before you might need just a password or two, most people these days have dozens. Even worse, the protocol for these is often different, some requiring certain characters (numbers, Capitals, Symbols) and others denying the use. It makes having a universal password difficult, and security experts say that doing so is a terrible idea anyway.
World Password Day came along to provide a warning to the world, and to spread awareness that taking care of your passwords is vital to protecting yourself against identity theft.
Data is very much the currency of the modern world. If malicious actors on the internet can get access to your account details, they can impersonate you, steal your data, and even take your money. Furthermore, they can often do all of this while effectively covering their tracks. Even if you wanted to go after them and get your money back, you couldn't.
There's a terrifying statistic about the current state of our password security. Business Insider did research to determine just how vulnerable accounts were, and discovered that 10,000 of the most common passwords allow access to 98% of all accounts. In other words, most people are using the same passwords – and many for years at a time.
Career hackers know this – and it is part of the reason why they've been so successful over the last few years. World Password Day, therefore, is an attempt to push back against this. The organizers want to educate the world on the importance of having a strong password. A password that resembles your date of birth or, heaven forbid, the word "password" itself, is a cardinal sin. Passwords should, in their view, be long, complex, and bear no resemblance to real words.
The organizers of World Password Day are also pushing the idea of two-factor authentication. As a computer-literate person, you've probably already encountered this concept. The idea is to use two forms of security to increase the chances that it is you trying to access your account, and not somebody else.
Two-factor authentication can take a variety of forms. Most commonly, it involves using a regular password and then sending an alert to your phone to confirm whether it is really you logging in. If it isn't, then you can reject the request to sign in and change your password.
Interestingly, the day is meant to be a celebration of strong passwords. It sounds like a strange approach to take, but when you think about it, it makes a lot of sense. We use our passwords to protect all of our digital information, from our social media profiles to our bank accounts. Passwords are fundamental to our security and privacy. Without them, we're an open book. Every World Password Day, therefore, is an opportunity for people to find out what constitutes a robust password and how to store them.
The original idea for the event came from famed security researcher Mark Burnett. He realized that the passwords most people were using were hopelessly inadequate. He encouraged people, therefore, to institute their own "password day" once per year, where they would update all their accounts with a new, random password.
The idea remained dormant for the better part of a decade. But then semiconductor giant Intel took up the idea again in 2013 as part of its ongoing security initiatives. From that point onwards, the event gained prominence, and now the organizers have plotted a timetable for repeats for the next ten years.
It will be interesting to see how World Password Day evolves with the times. Right now, a model password includes letters, numbers, changes in case, and symbols, but it might not always be that way in the future. Who knows how quantum computers and artificial intelligence will change the game? We will just have to wait and see.
