Chapter 715: A New Era
"Be careful!" The other team members shouted and rushed forward.
But it was too late.
Jiang Xiaoxiao only felt a pain in his arm, and then the whole person was dragged into a space crack that suddenly appeared by the black shadow.
"Captain!" The other team members exclaimed.
Hermes was stunned: "What's going on?"
At this moment, the space fluctuated again, and Li Yang's figure suddenly appeared.
"Good morning, everyone." Li Yang said with a smile, "Sorry, I'm late."
Hermes' pupils suddenly contracted: "You..."
Li Yang nodded: "Yes, I'm the person you have been talking about."
"Li Yang."
Hermes unconsciously took a step back.
Although he was a messenger of God, facing Li Yang at this moment, he felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"Since we've met..." Li Yang said calmly, "I think it's time to talk to your leader."
"If you want to die, please lead the way."
Hermes hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "... Follow me."
Li Yang turned to the remaining team members: "You go back first, the mission is completed."
"In addition, don't worry, I will bring Jiang Xiaoxiao back soon."
Although the team members were worried, they still followed Li Yang's instructions and honestly passed through the crack where Li Yang came out and returned to Blue Star.
Li Yang followed Hermes and entered the realm of the gods.
...
The realm of the gods, in the hall.
The gods were anxiously waiting for news from Hermes.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed, and Hermes appeared in the center of the hall.
"What's the situation?" Zeus asked anxiously.
Hermes took a deep breath: "That person... is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful breath suddenly swept the entire hall.
All the gods stood up freely and looked at the entrance of the hall vigilantly.
Li Yang walked in slowly with a faint smile on his face.
"Ah... It's great to see you, everyone." Li Yang said softly.
Zeus frowned: "You are Li Yang?"
Li Yang nodded: "Right now."
"You..." Zeus was about to speak when he suddenly felt a palpitation.
He was surprised to find that he couldn't look directly into Li Yang's eyes.
Those eyes seemed to contain mysteries beyond the entire universe, and even he, who possessed the status of a god king, felt terrified.
Ares held back and shouted: "Bold lunatic! How dare you trespass into the divine domain!"
As he said that, he raised the spear in his hand and threw it at Li Yang.
However, the spear suddenly turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated in an instant when it was about to touch Li Yang.
Ares was stunned.
Li Yang shook his head: "I said, I am here to talk, not to fight."
"Talk?" Zeus forced himself to calm down, "Talk about what?"
"It's very simple..." Li Yang said, "I want you to completely give up Blue Star and never set foot there again."
"Ridiculous!" Hera shouted, "Everything in this universe has been created by us gods since ancient times. Why should we leave?"
Li Yang chuckled: "Why? Because of what I said."
"You..."
Li Yang did not Ignoring Hera's anger, he continued: "Everyone, I know you think you are superior."
"But, times have changed."
"We never need the favor of gods..."
"On the contrary, you need the faith of intelligent creatures to survive."
"I give you two choices," Li Yang raised two fingers, "either give up Blue Star and find a quiet place to spend the rest of your life."
"Or..." He paused, "I will send you to the afterlife."
There was silence in the hall.
All the gods were shocked by Li Yang's words.
They couldn't believe that a human dared to speak to them like this.
Even more frightening, they all felt the incredible power on Li Yang.
That kind of power surpassed the gods.
Zeus took a deep breath and said calmly: "You are too arrogant, human."
"Even if you are a little special, we are gods who have existed for thousands of years."
"Do you think you can fight against all of us by yourself?"
Li Yang smiled: "I know, if you are curious, I can try."
"Besides... who said I am alone?"
He suddenly stretched out his hand, and a dark black light flashed.
A second later, a girl appeared beside Li Yang.
"Jiang Xiaoxiao." Li Yang said, "How do you feel?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, with a firm light in her eyes: "I have never... felt so good..."
Li Yang smiled with satisfaction: "Very good."
He turned to Zeus and others: "Everyone, let me introduce you to someone."
"This is Jiang Xiaoxiao, one of my companions."
"She has just completed her transformation and become a god of the new era."
"What?!" All the gods exclaimed.
They noticed that the aura emanating from Jiang Xiaoxiao was exactly the same as theirs.
Even...even a level higher.
This feeling...is like the long-lost [Death]!
"How...how can this be?" Athena said in disbelief.
Li Yang said lightly: "What's the big deal? Since you can become gods, why can't humans?"
"Besides," he looked at the gods meaningfully, "this is just the beginning."
"After a while, the whole world will change."
"By then, where will you, the gods of the old times, go?"
The gods looked at each other, and saw fear and anxiety in each other's eyes.
Zeus was silent for a long time, and finally said: "...What do you want us to do?"
Li Yang smiled triumphantly: "I said, give up Blue Star."
"Find a quiet place and enjoy the rest of your life."
The gods looked at each other, and finally bowed their heads.
They knew that a new era was coming.
They, these gods who were once high and mighty, will eventually withdraw from the stage of history.
...
A few days later, Blue Star.
Li Yang stood on the top of the [World Tree] base, overlooking the busy crowd outside.
Bai Zhi walked to his side: "They... were persuaded by you just like that?"
Li Yang nodded: "Well, convincing people with reason is always good."
"Besides, they have no choice."
"Then... what's next?" Bai Zhi asked.
Li Yang turned around, his eyes flashing with determination: "Next..."
"We will create a new era."
"The time when humans ascend and move towards the myriad worlds."
Bai Zhi nodded thoughtfully: "This..."
"It should be an extremely difficult road."
Li Yang smiled: "Of course."
"But I am here... We are here..."
"Everything is possible."
After saying that, Li Yang gently patted Bai Zhi's shoulder and turned to walk towards the thriving [World Tree].
Behind them, a gorgeous rainbow spanned the sky.
As if foreshadowing that a new era full of hope is coming.
