265: Chapter 18 The End of the World

There were two hours left until the time for "Extinction" to emerge.

Unlike the great deity, the countless living beings of the Milky Way Galaxy could not sense this terrifying existence, much less engage in any form of conscious communication with it.

However, because they had long heard the legends of "Extinction" from the Xingyang Civilization and were told that the entire universe would eventually be destroyed at its hands.

Therefore, the nearly 300 million civilizations within the galaxy, for various reasons—some wanting to explore the origin of this strongest creature, others arrogantly believing that they could observe or even find a solution through technology.

Others were simply curious.

In short, nearly 300 million civilizations used countless methods, yet none could detect or glimpse even the slightest trace of "Extinction."

They also discussed it privately among themselves.

Some representatives of the civilizations even said with a hint of hesitation: "The true words spoken by the Great Deity Xingyang are certainly absolute and unquestionable."

"But is it possible that the people of the Xingyang Civilization... misunderstood or misheard the words of the great deity?"

"Missionary Tuku Lie said that for the past few years, that terrifying existence capable of easily devouring the entire universe has been slowly entering this universe..."

"But we haven't detected even a trace of energy fluctuation."

"This is completely illogical!"

But soon, a spokesperson from another civilization explained: "You don't need to be too anxious."

"In any case, there is still over an hour left before that guy, who is tens of thousands of times more terrifying than the evil god Chu Zhangyang, comes in."

"By then, we will all be able to see it."

"According to what the Missionary Officer said, that terrifying existence will devour the Flesh and Blood Universe of Chu Zhangyang, and then devour our Milky Way Galaxy!"

"Thinking about it now, if our doomsday is destined."

"Then being able to witness the demise of the evil god before we die can be considered our greatest comfort."

Just like that, all living beings throughout the Milky Way Galaxy were shrouded in a strange atmosphere of both worry and anticipation.

Countless living beings gathered around the Xingyang Temple or the sanctuaries.

They prayed silently in the unique postures of their own civilizations.

"Great Deity Xingyang, the only true god in the thousands of universes! All of this is our destiny. Under your protection, we are fearless; we only ask that after death, our souls may ascend to the star hall, where we will continue to serve by your side!"

"Great Deity Xingyang, your grace bathes every corner of the universe. After our homes were destroyed and our kin were slaughtered, our hearts had long since died. It was your warmth that allowed us to find a harbor for our souls once again. We have no other requests now; we only ask to witness the death of the evil god with our own eyes!"

...

Chu Xingyang was in the command room of the flagship "divine might," silently feeling the prayers of countless believers.

But the expression on his face became increasingly stiff.

At this moment, even Suo Xiaoli, who was usually always grinning, felt the tense atmosphere.

She also became quiet, just standing silently beside the great deity, gently leaning half of her body against the great deity's shoulder.

Yu Lan looked at the time, then turned to look at the great deity, saying without blinking: "great deity, there are only a few dozen minutes left."

"That guy who devoured the Xueyang Universe is about to come in."

Just then, Luo Ningning, who had been stationed at the parallel channel dispatch center for the past few years, also sent a message.

"The Kindling Project is nearing its end. It is estimated that in half an hour, all ships of the Kindling Project will have entered the parallel channel to head to our universe!"

"Please provide the next instructions!"

Everyone turned their gaze to the Xingyang God.

Chu Xingyang nodded, then looked at the demigod brothers not far away. He gestured while ordering: "If in a while, Extinction attacks us first!"

"Then you two brothers, use the divine light to protect all the warships of our Xingyang Civilization and the Silver Core Alliance."

"Then quickly rush to the parallel channel and evacuate!"

"And I will cover your retreat!"

The Three-Legged Monster and "Mabu" looked at each other, evidently not understanding the great deity's meaning for a moment.

But everyone in the command room was shocked; even Wei Wei forgot to explain the great deity's instructions to the demigod brothers.

Solia burst into tears instantly: "Teacher, why do you have to cover the retreat? Extinction is extremely terrifying. You have already said that you are not its opponent."

"Why do you have to be the last one to leave!"

Yu Lan, who was on the side, was much calmer. She looked at the great deity, her face showing a bit of anxiety: "Do you mean that Extinction will attack us first?"

"But you previously told the hundreds of millions of civilizations in the Milky Way Galaxy that you would let them witness the demise of Chu Zhangyang with their own eyes."

"Doesn't that mean that Extinction will attack the Flesh and Blood Universe first?"

Hearing this, Chu Xingyang scratched his head a bit embarrassedly, then said with an earnest face: "Actually..."

"Extinction is too powerful; I cannot predict its style of action or its next move."

"So, let's take it one step at a time."

"In any case, rest assured, I will not let you become its food."

As Chu Xingyang said this, he looked at everyone and felt that their expressions were too heavy.

He immediately laughed and said: "Hahaha, don't worry. I'm just preparing for the worst."

"I am not the kind of trash that Chu Lieyang is; Extinction won't find it so easy to eat me."

"I mean, in case Extinction chooses to attack the Milky Way Galaxy first, you should leave through the parallel channel first, and I will follow shortly!"

Hearing the great deity explain it this way.

Everyone's mood improved slightly.

Wei Wei immediately turned to the demigod brothers and gestured in front of them.

Not long after, the Three-Legged Monster nodded.

"Mabu" looked at his older brother, preparing to do as he had done before, just following his brother's lead.
