255: Chapter 8 100-Day Countdown to the Apocalypse

Under the shadow of the doomsday crisis.

Time seemed to pass exceptionally fast; it felt as if the last communication between the evil god and the bishop of the Xingyang Civilization was just yesterday.

But at this moment, the clocks in prominent locations in every settlement across the hundreds of millions of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy, or the timers carried by countless living beings, all showed that only one hundred days remained until the arrival of the end of the universe!

However, the entire Milky Way Galaxy was much quieter now compared to before.

It was unclear whether this was due to the strenuous efforts of the Resistance Army, the Xingyang Civilization, and the Silver Core Alliance, or because those living beings who wanted to make a final struggle before death realized that time was running out and it was futile.

They abandoned the evil thoughts in their hearts.

Instead, they turned their gaze toward the four parallel channels at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy, watching their compatriots escape and leave this universe through the "Kindling Project."

Then, they silently prayed for them and for their own civilizations in their hearts.

In short, the riots and disturbances across the entire Milky Way Galaxy had decreased significantly; there were no longer many individuals or groups plotting crazy riots before the end of the world at this time.

Everything, in the face of the impending death, seemed to have lost all meaning.

Furthermore, thanks to the early report on the doomsday by the Xingyang Civilization, combined with the numerous supplies converted by the Great Deity Xingyang using divine power, as well as the large quantity of items donated by those parallel civilizations in the Xingyang Universe, the living beings of the entire Milky Way Galaxy were well-fed and clothed.

A considerable number of living beings had already completed their pre-death bucket lists.

Thus, they embraced their relatives, lovers, or friends. While hugging each other, they spoke slowly.

"It's enough. I've been to the places I should go and said the things I should say."

"Let's just quietly embrace each other until the end of the world."

Of course, while they accompanied each other, the entire Milky Way Galaxy also had a new landscape.

That was the five-light-year-tall Pillar of Creation.

Although it was exceptionally beautiful, it was very small compared to the hundred-thousand-light-year-wide Milky Way Galaxy.

Therefore, it originally could not attract so much attention from the Milky Way Galaxy.

But because it was not suitable for the survival of Carbon-based Life or even Silicon-based Life, only some energy-based civilizations inhabited it.

After careful selection by Chu Xingyang, he relocated the civilizations there and turned the entire Pillar of Creation into a training ground for himself and the two demigods, the Three-Legged Monster and Mabu.

To delay Chu Zhangyang for two days, he needed to conduct non-stop offensive drills with the demigod brothers, hoping they could exert as much power as possible when facing the complete form of the Flesh and Blood Universe of Chu Zhangyang.

Therefore, the entire Pillar of Creation kept erupting with dazzling fireworks amidst the intense offensive exchanges between the deity and the two demigods.

The various blazing rays of light emitted illuminated the surrounding thousands of light-years, instantly attracting the attention of the entire Milky Way Galaxy.

Those living beings lay lazily beside their loved ones. Watching the magnificent scene, they exclaimed: "It's so beautiful. Being able to see such a scene before death, this life has not been in vain."

"Yes. It is said that this is the Xingyang God practicing. The Great God said that he will let us see with our own eyes the destruction of that demon, Chu Zhangyang!"

"So, he must be working hard for this."

"Ah! The merciful Great God has truly done so much for us."

Countless living beings enjoyed the breathtaking cosmic scenery displayed by the Pillar of Creation while piously praising and thanking the Great Deity Xingyang in their hearts.

Compared to the soldiers in the Resistance Army and the Gospel Army, these ordinary believers took longer to slowly accept and digest the content of that video communication—the video dialogue between the evil false god Chu Zhangyang and the "bishop" of the Xingyang Civilization.

Countless civilizations inhabiting the Milky Way Galaxy voiced their opinions. "God is inclusive, merciful, and hides nothing. Even the communication with the Zhangyang God was fully displayed before us."

They did not know that making the video conference public was merely a helpless move after Hope and Xiliu, the two intelligent mechanical beings, had discussed it.

After all, for communication of this level, the date and format of the conversation had already been made public beforehand.

No matter how they tried to prevent it or make it a secret meeting, countless hackers from various civilizations would find ways to break through this veil.

Instead of trying to stop the strange and varied hacking methods of countless civilizations, it was better to simply make it public.

In this way, it instead displayed the openness and magnanimity of the Xingyang Civilization, and even the Xingyang God.

But the consequence of doing this was that the video of the dialogue between the two sides was repeatedly played and interpreted among hundreds of millions of civilizations.

This caused great worry for people in the Xingyang Civilization, especially those with sensitive minds like Wei Wei.

She raised her concerns to everyone: "Is it really okay to make that kind of dialogue public?"

"Although I also feel that everyone has the right to know about such a matter of life and death."

"However, Chu Zhangyang said too much. He even pointed out that we sent the catalyst, which would make him become powerful."

"And the matter of Nirvana, now all the living beings in the Milky Way Galaxy know about it too."

Regarding the things she was worried about, after analyzing for a while, Xiliu slowly explained: "Your worries are unnecessary."

"Although the bishop did not deny that we sent the catalyst, he also explained that it was to make Chu Zhangyang become powerful at the moment Nirvana arrives, so that he would have a slight resistance and thus die slowly and painfully."

"This is to allow those displaced living beings whose homes were destroyed to watch the destruction of this great devil for a longer time!"

"As for Nirvana, in fact, long before this, Missionary Tuku Lie had already explained its existence to the many living beings of the Milky Way Galaxy."

"Back then, in order to better promote the Kindling Project, Tuku Lie clearly stated that the Great Deity Xingyang could block the false god's attack on the Milky Way Galaxy, but the arrival of Nirvana meant that this universe was destined to be destroyed."

"So, although Chu Zhangyang brought up Nirvana again in the video conference, I think this will not cause any disturbance to the living beings within the Milky Way Galaxy at all."

After hearing Xiliu's analysis, the worries and doubts that had been lingering in Wei Wei's heart slowly dissipated.

And the facts were just as Xiliu had said; after that meeting, the piety of countless lives toward the Xingyang God continued to grow rather than decrease.

In the exchanges between various civilizations, many life forms also offered their own insights.

"Although the one talking to the evil god was the bishop, a mortal, the bishop represents the Xingyang Civilization, and it is said that he was personally chosen by the Great Deity Xingyang, so what he says should also be the will of the God."

A leader of an energy-based civilization spoke first at the exchange meeting of many civilizations: "So, that existence called Nirvana will really come."

"It can easily kill the evil god Chu Zhangyang, and the Great Xingyang Civilization, in order to make Chu Zhangyang die more slowly, specifically gave the evil god strengthening medicine, which can make him become a complete form when Nirvana descends, thereby becoming stronger and dying more slowly."

"I don't quite understand this point; just killing the evil god Chu Zhangyang is enough. Avenging our civilization is enough. No matter what, it's death, why go to such trouble!"

Listening to the doubts and questioning of the energy-based civilization, a leader of a Carbon-based Life civilization retorted first: "You energy-based civilizations. You really think that when people die, it's like a lamp going out!"

"As long as the result is the same, the process doesn't matter!"

"But do you know? The evil Chu Zhangyang has killed so many of our compatriots! He turned many of our compatriots into disgusting zombie-like creatures!"

"How can we let him die easily! Naturally, the more torture he suffers, the better! The slower he dies, the better!"

This leader belonging to a Carbon-based Life civilization became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end, he even shouted hoarsely: "Therefore, we strongly support this plan of the Great Deity Xingyang, the plan to make the evil god stronger than he is now!"

"Even if our entire universe turns to ashes after Nirvana arrives, we must enjoy the scene of the evil god's painful death before we perish!"

His words instantly inspired many civilizations. Those leaders also shouted along with him enthusiastically. "Xingyang God eternal!"

"Great Deity Xingyang, your grace bathes all universes!"

After this long period of public excitement, another civilization began to have beautiful fantasies.

A representative of a civilization slowly asked the leader of all living beings: "Do you think..."

"The Great Deity Xingyang's divine power is vast and unimaginable."

"Could it be that after Nirvana eliminates the evil god Chu Zhangyang, the Great God will kill Nirvana!"

"Then our Milky Way Galaxy will be completely safe. All our civilizations will survive forever!"

The beautiful wish of this representative instantly immersed all the civilization representatives in this exchange in beautiful expectations.

After a brief silence, there were still clear-headed beings who broke this dream first, like a stone causing ripples on a calm water surface.

"I don't think this possibility is high!"

"Otherwise, Missionary Tuku Lie would not have said those words, and the Xingyang Civilization would not have spent so much manpower and material resources to create the Kindling Project!"

"Although... although saying this is disrespectful to the God, in fact, Tuku Lie has also implicitly expressed the relevant meaning."

"That is that Nirvana is an existence that is terrifyingly powerful, so powerful that... so powerful that even the Great Deity Xingyang might not be able to stop it!"

"Look at the content of that video communication; even the evil god Chu Zhangyang, who usually looks down on everything and devours the entire ninety-billion-light-year universe, put down his pride when he learned that Nirvana was coming."

"He ran to a mortal of the Xingyang Civilization, seeking cooperation with the Xingyang God, wanting to join forces to resist Nirvana!"

"So, everyone, you can probably gauge just how terrifying that existence called Nirvana is!"

These words, while breaking the beautiful fantasies of the representatives of the civilizations, also made them feel a chill all over their bodies.

One of them said in a tone with a hint of despair: "Although I knew it long ago, confirming again that our universe, this galaxy, will meet its final destruction in a hundred days!"

"I still feel terrible!"

After a long while, I don't know who threw out this sentence: "Do you think, if the Xingyang God agreed to join forces with the evil god!"

"Then could it really block Nirvana, and then we..."

"We could coexist peacefully in the Milky Way Galaxy with the Flesh and Blood Universe of the Zhangyang Civilization?"

The trailing sound of this sentence had not yet completely dissipated. It was met with various curses from the surrounding representatives of countless living beings.

"What is in your brain? Let alone cooperating with that kind of heinous evil."

"Even if the alliance really succeeded. Do you think that guy Chu Zhangyang would coexist peacefully with the small Milky Way Galaxy!"

"Exactly, I don't know what you are thinking? What you can think of, the Great Deity Xingyang would not fail to think of!"

"The reason for refusal must be because he knows that joining forces is absolutely not a viable plan!"

The scolding and cursing rose one after another. The representative who had just proposed the "agree to cooperate to resist Nirvana plan" immediately shut his mouth obediently.

However, what they did not know was that even if the Sun Gods of two universes joined forces, they would not be a match for Nirvana.

But, Chu Xingyang knew this. This was also the reason why he had been desperately conducting practical combat drills with the two demigods during this period.
