God approached the depths of the Celestial Kingdom.
Amid the night sky, God stopped his steps.
A light golden Fate Line appeared before Him.
Chen Yi's gaze sharpened, and he immediately looked around.
Without knowing when, countless Fate Lines had appeared in the night sky, converging towards the depths of the starry sky.
"Those Fate Lines flowing into the Ancient Chaos are actually all converging towards the depths of the starry sky..."
What kind of spectacle was this?
God couldn't help but become more curious about the stars in the depths.
The Celestial Kingdom emitted so much pale power that logically, there should be tens of thousands of stars gathered in the depths, but on the contrary, as Chen Yi followed the direction of the Fate Line, the deeper he went, the stars around him gradually receded, and looking around, not a single star twinkled in the night sky.
Chen Yi couldn't help but ponder for a moment.
Since there were no stars around, there must be a massive star at the depths.
God continued towards the depths, and soon, He saw a star so huge it was unimaginable.
That star was as ancient as could be, as if it had existed in this vast Celestial Kingdom long before an unimaginably long time, with countless Fate Lines converging towards it.
Huge, majestic, the Deep Red Star quietly stood in the blackness, and from a distance, the heart of the star appeared pierced by a narrow, bottomless tunnel.
Looking up, one could see the vast milky way, hanging far off, adorning the endless starry canopy in the distance, like a spherical curtain hanging all around, he had reached the depths.
"What kind of brilliance and power does this star emit..."
God slowly approached this vast Deep Red Star.
It wasn't necessarily the ruler of the Celestial Kingdom, In fact, the Celestial Kingdom had never had a ruler.
But, this deep-red sphere must be the most ancient star in the Celestial Kingdom.
This star had witnessed endless history, countless Fate Lines converging towards it.
God slowly approached the Deep Red Star, lightly touching the brilliance it emitted.
In an instant...
A stretch of immeasurably ancient memory flashed through His mind.
The entire world's long history since its birth appeared before Him like scenes in a zoetrope.
Darkness...
Boundless darkness.
Before He descended into this world, everything was gently enveloped by darkness, even the world's Primordial Will slept quietly within.
Everything in the world repeated in endless darkness, life struggling to escape the cradle under the water.
Such was a stretch of history too ancient to see its end.
...
Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes.
"So it is... Does the brilliance this star emits, and its power, symbolize 'history'?"
Previously, the countless stars he had seen each embodied different powers with their glow, just like how the red glow contains extreme heat, and the pale blue light emitted coldness.
And the Deep Red Star before him symbolized "history."
The moment He touched the brilliance emitted by the Deep Red Star, he saw the entire world's long, repetitive, and monotonous history.
"No wonder you are so ancient."
God faced the Deep Red Star, murmuring.
Then, He thought of something.
Since this Deep Red Star contained power concerning "history"...
Could He, through it, see the sights of the future?
After all, to the future, the current time He was in was a part of an ancient history.
And... those Fate Lines were all converging towards this star...
After briefly pondering, God made his decision within moments.
He took another step closer to the Deep Red Star.
In the blink of an eye, God's figure arrived right before the Deep Red Star.
He reached out his hand, touching the essence of the Deep Red Star.
All he saw was suddenly covered by the overwhelming brilliance of the stars.
Chen Yi let his will stand firm, allowing the brilliance of the stars to assault him.
He tried to harness the power emitted by the Deep Red Star, which seemingly lacked its own consciousness, effortlessly directed towards the future by God.
Everything proceeded smoothly, just as God had foreseen, steering towards one future.
The lights and shadows before his eyes began to overlap. God looked around, and countless Fate Lines appeared, converging into a golden river flowing forward.
God gazed at the river.
The end of this river... was the vision of the future.
Chen Yi was surprised to see that this river did not seem long but quickly came to an end.
Could it be that the future is not far from the present?
With this thought, he slowly walked toward the end.
When Chen Yi reached the end,
Tick-tock.
Looking up, Chen Yi saw a pale drop of rain, falling very slowly.
The murky sky overhead poured down pale rain, Chen Yi looked up, seeing the skies show a sickly and unclear hue.
Looking forward, all he saw was darkness, the Ancient Chaos expanding beyond imagination, devouring the light wherever it reached as if He had never descended.
God looked at all this in astonishment.
The scene before him, without exception, showed him: The future was an apocalypse.
The entire world was at the brink of extinction, withered and desolate.
Thunder crashed down, roaring like it was tearing the earth apart, was it descending from the sky, or was it emerging from the Earth's fissures? It roared alongside the downpour, with large drops of pale rain pelting down densely, howling and tearing at the fierce wind, repeated over and over.
The entire world roared restlessly.
Soon after, the pale rainwater overflowed on the Earth, converging into an unstoppable deluge!
The deluge descended on this world; it aimed to devour not only the beasts but also to drown the towering trees, and His beloved people—the people of Logos, along with their frail kingdoms, were to be annihilated in this unprecedented flood.
In the vision of the future, the people of Logos cried, desperately climbing to higher grounds, hoping not to be washed away. The land became an immense ocean. A mother who just grieved her lost only child, the next second followed her child in death, and the struggling people on the ground begged to the heavens, pleading for forgiveness from Divine Descent, not wanting to be punished, unaware of how the deluge had come, thinking it was because of their disrespect!
God watched all these future events.
What He brought, what He cherished, all were to be destroyed in this deluge.
Until the end, when Primordial Will once again dominated the world, pushing all of history that had occurred into void.
"No, you cannot…"
God looked at the imminent apocalypse, muttering.
He had come because of the apocalypse.
How could He simply watch the apocalypse unfold before His own eyes?
That apocalypse was approaching…
The lambs on the earth would become thirsty, life would plunge into endless darkness.
The thirsty lambs would yearn for grass, life in the darkness would call for light.
Once the apocalypse arrived…
When would the grass that feeds the lambs come, when would the light called by life descend?
In this apocalyptic vision of the future, the people did not know, they painfully begged, their tears falling to the ground.
Despair covered the light, they were thirsty, they were crying, they were grieving…
They were asking, "God, do you not see our sorrow? Will you abandon your children?"
Faced with the vision of the apocalypse,
God seemed to be talking to Himself, yet also speaking to the struggling people within the vision:
"Do not fear, do not panic,"
"I am here,"
"Salvation is here."
God once descended alone, at that time the earth was barren, only the heavy stench of death met His gaze.
But now, in this world, He already had His beloved.
Let the apocalypse come,
For here is the grass that will feed the lambs, here is the light called by life, and moreover, it will never be separated, it will never abandon.
