448: The all-seeing eye exploded

“This…”

Upon hearing Qin Yang’s words, the gods all shivered.

Akatosh, however, saw through it clearly and said, “I have no objections to confiscating their Divine Authority.”

“But the Human Emperor Domain will likely be greatly affected, won’t it?”

Qin Yang shook his head and said, “Without destruction, there is no Creation. I want to establish a new order of gods. Moreover, Divine Authority has not disappeared; it has merely changed hands, so there won’t be too much impact.”

Speaking of this, he looked at the God of Creation and the God of Elements again: “Aros is already dead. I guess you don’t want to end up like him.”

The God of Creation took a deep breath.

Indeed, he could no longer sense Aros’s Qi.

Since their birth, the gods had never considered that death would befall them.

But Qin Yang’s words were like a sharp sword, hanging over their heads, capable of taking their lives at any moment.

However, Divine Authority was the meaning of a god’s existence.

Neither the God of Creation nor the God of Elements knew what they would face after losing their Divine Authority.

From their perspective, losing Divine Authority was no different from dying.

The longer the silence, the colder the atmosphere became.

Qin Yang’s patience was also waning with time.

Akatosh, the God of Complaints, couldn’t stand it anymore.

With his hands behind his back, he walked in front of the two gods and said,

“We’re all colleagues, right?”

“Let me speak fairly.”

“Haven’t you realized that your conceptual principles are outdated?”

“Slaughter and plunder can no longer define War.”

“Creation built on destruction cannot last.”

“Elemental power that needs to rely on slaughter to grow is even more ridiculous.”

“There’s a reason why the three of you teamed up, willing to side with the Omniscient Eye just to oppose the God-Emperor.”

“Because you are completely incompatible with the new era that is about to arrive.”

“According to your conceptual principles, even if you retain Divine Authority, you will eventually stand against the God-Emperor.”

At the critical moment, it was the old Space-Time Dragon who proved reliable.

His words struck at the heart of the matter, revealing Qin Yang’s truest thoughts.

That’s right.

Elebella had said it long ago.

Gods act according to their conceptual principles.

This will never change.

Even if all of humanity betrayed Elebella, she would not hate humanity.

Conversely, the current God of Creation and God of Elements would also find it difficult to do things that benefit humanity.

Their conceptual principles dictated that they must harm humanity.

This conflicted with Qin Yang’s principles of Domination and Conquest.

One of the weaknesses of his principles was “the Human Race has nothing to rely on.”

Therefore, he had to strip the two before him of their Divine Authority.

Akatosh had already made it clear.

Qin Yang would not waste any more words.

His mind was made up; he was willing to fight another Divine War.

The silence continued, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense.

Finally, the God of Elements spoke first, saying, “I understand. Take my Divine Authority.”

The God of Creation suddenly looked up, astonished, “Without Divine Authority, we will become meaningless existences. How can we…”

Before the God of Creation could finish, the God of Elements interrupted, “Was the old meaning correct? If it was wrong, then our existence was also wrong.”

With that, he looked at Qin Yang and asked, “If I find a new meaning, can I come back to you?”

“Granted.”

“At that time, I will bestow Divine Authority upon you again.”

Qin Yang nodded.

Then, he raised his hand and activated his Imperial Authority.

“Your conceptual principle ‘Domination and Conquest’ has stripped Lyra of her Elemental Divine Authority.”

“Now, you can choose to wield Elemental Divine Authority, or hand it over to a god candidate.”

After the Divine Authority was reclaimed, the divine throne symbolizing Elemental Divine Authority collapsed with a crash.

Facing the fall of Divine Authority, the former God of Elements showed no expression, merely looking at the Nature Goddess Shalaman and saying,

“In the Elf World, a group of mages are pursuing extreme elemental power, and their actions will cause the Elf World to collapse.”

Salaman’s expression darkened: “Such a serious matter, how could I, as a god of the elves, not know?”

“You are not the only main god of the elves.”

With that, Lyra took off her wizard hat, revealing a delicate face with grayish-purple skin and a pair of elven ears.

“You’re a Night Elf? And a female?”

Salaman exclaimed in surprise, much like a colleague who had worked with someone for three years and still didn’t know their gender.

However, this was normal.

Lyra’s voice was quite neutral; without listening carefully, it was hard to distinguish her gender.

Moreover, the powers of Nature and Elements were conflicting.

Or rather, Elements was one of the primary forces that encroached upon Nature.

Like Elebella, Salaman and Lyra were typically adversaries.

Lyra ignored Salaman, merely bowing slightly to Qin Yang: “May the power of Elements eradicate all your enemies. I take my leave.”

With that, her figure transformed into a phantom and vanished amidst specks of starlight.

“So the true gods are half male and half female. As expected of Western gods, is that how correct they are?”

Qin Yang watched her disappear with interest, chuckling inwardly.

Next, it was the God of Creation’s turn.

Qin Yang looked at this big-headed, seemingly very intelligent fellow, motioning with his eyes for him not to do anything foolish.

Then he raised his hand and activated his Imperial Authority.

“Your conceptual principle ‘Domination and Conquest’ has stripped Zenithar of his Creation Divine Authority.”

“Now, you can choose to wield Creation Divine Authority, or hand it over to a god candidate.”

Under Qin Yang’s pressure, Zenithar still surrendered his Divine Authority.

However, he was clearly not as carefree as Lyra; his body trembled as his divine throne collapsed with a rumble.

Qin Yang didn’t care what he thought.

He looked up at the sky, asking the question he cared about most.

“Where is the Omniscient Eye?”

“I didn’t see its corpse.”

Akatosh sighed and said, “It didn’t even show up, so where would there be a corpse?”

“Damn it!”

Qin Yang couldn’t help but curse.

Why was this bastard just like a certain eagle?

Always tricking others into fighting while staying out of it himself.

How many gods and evil gods had it managed to kill with this move? More than ten, surely?

This damned thing!

I will find its true body and execute it by a thousand cuts sooner or later!

Just then, Amir, who had been watching from the side, suddenly said, “It’s not entirely without Harvest.”

Qin Yang looked up. From the beginning until now, he hadn’t paid any attention to this elder sister.

Only now did he remember that this fellow had once punished him with Divine Authority.

If not for his conceptual principles protecting him, he would have stripped this sister of her equipment on his path to ascension.

However, Qin Yang had heard the conversation between Salaman and Elebella, so he knew this elder sister had made a mistake.

Otherwise, before entering the Human Emperor Domain, he would have marked her as an enemy and had Laojiaren deal with her.

“This elder sister helped when Elebella fused her godhead, so let’s not punish her for now.”

Thinking this, Qin Yang asked her, “What is this ‘harvest’ you speak of?”

Amir took out a black gem from her cleavage and said, “Here, this is what dropped after the Omniscient Eye’s projection was shattered.”
