Dawn of a New Era

Chapter 606 580: Chain Reaction

Land of Radiance.

The open plaza in front of the church.

Under the blazing sun.

An elderly priest stood in the plaza, looking at the dense crowd, preaching loudly:

"The God of Light is merciful and loving to the world. His arrival is meant to save humanity.

Humans are greedy and arrogant, never knowing satisfaction, and one day they will destroy themselves and the world. Human nature needs the constraint of the divine; He will bring hope and light to humanity.

He is great, He is merciful, He is eternal, He is immortal, He is omnipotent.

We need to piously believe in Him, love Him, and He will grant us eternal life after death." The priest, speaking under the scorching sun, was drenched in sweat and parched.

The sun in June was already scorching.

Since the God of Light represents light, the noon prayer is the most important among all prayers, lasting up to two hours.

Since they needed to be close to the light and prove their piety, naturally, there was no canopy to shield the plaza.

Such intense prayers had been going on for five days, and today was the sixth day.

But he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

According to the divine oracle from the Supreme Church Court.

During this period, the Lord would descend to earth and launch a holy war on the neighboring countries without faith, to save other humans in dire straits.

All priests responsible for this diocese had to organize the believers to pray for the Lord.

He cleared his throat and was about to continue preaching.

At that moment, the sunlight suddenly dimmed slightly, a cool breeze blew through the air, causing his sweat to retreat, and he suddenly felt somewhat empty inside, as if something had disappeared.

At the same time, a nameless sorrow surged in his heart.

Somewhat surprised, he lifted his head.

The sky was still a vast blue, cloudless, with nothing covering the sun, yet it seemed somewhat different.

Not only he noticed the anomaly, but the crowd that had been quietly listening to the sermon also began to stir, whispering among themselves.

"Look, the Divine Statue has no light!" someone in the crowd whispered.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the center of the plaza.

It was a more than twenty-meter-tall granite divine statue, which had been emitting a faint glow just a moment ago, looking majestic and sacred, but now it seemed to have lost all its mysterious aura, appearing just like an ordinary statue.

At that moment, there was a sudden "crack."

A crack suddenly appeared on the statue.

The crowd was in an uproar, stunned and incredulous.

This was a Divine Statue.

Rapidly, more and more cracks appeared, with pieces of stone crumbling from the statue.

"No! No!"

"O Lord!"

"May the God of Light protect us."

The crowd was in despair, shouting with agitation, many devout believers rushed to the front of the statue, kneeling and weeping bitterly.

This was an ominous sign.

"Quiet, quiet, this is a normal phenomenon, it's a problem with the quality of the statue!" the priest shouted loudly, trying to calm the crowd.

However, just as he spoke.

"Boom!"

Half of the entire statue collapsed, crashing to the ground.

Several worshippers kneeling in front of the statue were hit by the boulders, unable even to cry out in pain, seemingly still unbelieving, even in death, that the statue would smash them.

...

At the same time.

Countless divine statues in the Land of Radiance, either developed cracks or collapsed on their own.

The statues were the coordinates of faith, the relay stations.

These statues, having been immersed in the Power of Faith for a long time, had long established some mysterious connection with the power of the God of Light, and with His fall, these statues naturally were affected.

On this day, countless hearts were filled with trepidation.

Many devout believers committed suicide.

The faith permeating the air began to collapse and dissipate, throwing the vast Land of Radiance into chaos.

...

Aside from Great Xia Country, the first to learn of the fall of the God of Light was not the European Union, which had just resolved its internal strife and gasped for breath, nor Lucy Country, frightened by the God of Light to the point of nearly launching a full-scale nuclear strike.

Nor was it the United States across the Atlantic Ocean.

But rather, the various gods surrounding the Land of Radiance.

A half-naked strong man and a beautiful and delicate girl stood on a hilltop, observing the situation across from them, their expressions silent.

"Even the God of Light, with medium-level Divine Power, has fallen!" the beautiful girl suddenly spoke, her voice crisp and pleasant. As she spoke, she turned to look at the strong man and said, "Respected God of Power, since you are beside Great Xia Country, you should be careful!"

"That was the foolishness of the God of Light!" the strong man was not swayed in the slightest, speaking in a gruff voice: "His ambition was too grand, attempting to swallow the entire continent, he had forgotten how previous giants with Powerful Divine Power had fallen!"

"Are you not worried at all?" the girl asked nonchalantly.

The God of Power remained silent for a long while, then suddenly turned to the girl with a hostile expression and said, "The one who should be worried is you, God of Enchantment and Schemes. Withdraw your weak powers, this time I'll let it pass, but don't let me see you again next time, get out of my territory!"

The God of Enchantment and Schemes, which was that delicate and beautiful girl, felt her heart freeze upon hearing those words.

Weren't they having a nice conversation just now?

So barbaric!

...

"Did you really kill the God of Light?" Just back from the battlefield not long ago, Ye Zong couldn't help but approach, asking with an expression of disbelief.

Chen Shouyi nodded: "Didn't you already know?"

He most hated saying things several times over.

If only he had a mobile phone now, he thought of taking a photo to post all over his social circle.

If there were questions, they could just leave comments for a concentrated response.

That would make things much more convenient!

Ye Zong, hearing this, opened his mouth in a daze, unable to speak for a moment.

Killed for real?

This wasn't an ordinary True God, recalling the terrifying and desperate scene before, and then looking at the ordinary-looking Chen Shouyi beside him, the contrast was simply too stark.

"What is your strength now?" Ye Zong asked.

"Didn't I say before that I've made a breakthrough? My strength now should be similar to that of a Demigod," Chen Shouyi thought for a moment, then said: "As for the Giant Transformation, I don't know!"

So... the so-called stagnant strength meant this?

In other words, the opponent is no longer a legend!

Ye Zong suddenly felt a bit weary in his heart, compared to this abnormality, he no longer even had the thought to secretly compare, and humbly inquired: "Isn't it about igniting the Divine Fire to become a Demigod after being a legend?"

"Not mine!" Chen Shouyi did not hold back, walking while sharing his breakthrough insights and experiences.

Alas, being unbeatable in the world is also a kind of loneliness!

Thinking about it, at just nineteen years old, he's already looking over everything in the peak, viewing all other mountains as small.

It's truly a kind of sorrow, having no goal to pursue in life.

Beside him, Ye Zong silently noted down Chen Shouyi's words, for a legend, these insights and experiences were worth a thousand words of gold, allowing future generations to avoid many detours.

A gust of wind blew by, lifting up a sky full of dust.

Ye Zong instinctively prepared to shield his eyes.

But found that when the wind reached him, it became calm with no trace of dust, he blankly stared at the distant dusky air, realizing it was not an illusion.

"Lao Ye, what's up?"

"Nothing!"

ps: Sorry for the delay.
