254: Chapter 254 Slaves of the Gods!

"Boom—!!!!"

Five streaks of light, radiating the peak power of humanity, like five swords defying the heavens, plunged resolutely into the crimson star gate rift against the downpour of high-dimensional destruction rays!

As they crossed the star gate, Chen Xi suddenly detonated several top-tier explosive cards left at the edge of the gate, synchronized with the laws of spatial collapse.

"Crack!"

The star gate slammed shut behind them! They had personally locked the passage between Earth and the high-dimensional universe from the other side!

The snow and wind continued, and the Extreme North Ice Field returned to its dead silence.

Shen Ye and Xia Qing stared blankly at the empty air, unable to calm their hearts for a long time.

They knew that from this moment on, Earth was safe.

But those five heroes who saved the world had embarked on a lonely expedition into the sea of stars, a journey with a slim chance of survival, or perhaps none at all.

"Let's go, Xia Qing."

After a long while, Shen Ye turned around, his single eye burning with an unprecedented fighting spirit.

"We cannot let their blood be shed in vain. From today on, Earth... enters the Era of Universal War Readiness!"

"Buzz—Zzzzz—!!!"

Inside the space jump channel, the air was filled with bizarre colors and a soul-tearing sense of weightlessness.

When Chen Xi and the others passed through that thick high-dimensional barrier and their vision finally cleared again,

what appeared before them was a cosmic spectacle so grand and so despairing that it could cause any three-dimensional creature to instantly lose their sanity!

There was no sky, and no earth.

They were currently suspended in the vast, boundless deep space of the universe!

Directly in front of them was not a traditional planet, but a massive Dyson Sphere structure that occupied almost their entire field of vision! Countless metal pipes, hundreds of kilometers thick like parasite tentacles, were plunged deep into the interiors of dozens of captured, dim planets, frantically siphoning their core energy!

Millions of interstellar warships were moored around these metal pipes. Here, the hundred-meter and thousand-meter tall High-Dimensional Observers and Silicon-Based God-Ascenders were like insignificant worker ants, patrolling the void in swarms.

This was the stronghold of the high-dimensional deities—the [Interstellar Throne of the Void Sovereign]!

"Beep beep beep! Warning! Abnormal three-dimensional biological invasion detected!"

"Coordinates locked! Star-destroyer Cannon charging..."

"Initiating extermination program!"

Chen Xi and his team's sudden appearance instantly triggered the highest level of red alert for this interstellar defense line.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of high-dimensional mechanical lifeforms turned their heads in unison. Countless star-destroyer main cannons, capable of shattering the moon in one shot, lit up with terrifying destructive light, all locking onto these five humans who were as tiny as dust.

"My god..."

Li Murou's hand holding the zither trembled slightly as she swallowed hard. "Captain... did we... just poke the biggest hornet's nest in the universe?"

"With these numbers... even if they just stood there and let us strike, we'd die of exhaustion before we could finish them off." Although Su Xiaoxiao's eyes were firm, she couldn't help but feel a hint of bitterness facing this million-strong army in the vast sea of stars.

"Are you afraid?"

Chen Xi floated in the void, looking at the overwhelming, terrifying fire network that could evaporate them ten thousand times over in an instant.

Surprisingly, facing this hopeless dead end, not only was there no fear on his face, but instead...

He smiled.

He smiled wildly, smiled unrestrainedly!

"Afraid?" Lin Shan shouldered his two tower shields and laughed heroically. "Captain! I haven't tanked an alien Star-destroyer Cannon in my life! Today is the perfect day to broaden my horizons!"

"Since we're here, let's turn everything upside down!" Ye Fei's golden hair fluttered in the void, and the divine seal on her brow erupted with brilliant light. She was ready to use her life to trigger the strongest Myriad Spirit Resonance.

"Very well."

The grin on Chen Xi's face widened.

He slowly raised his right hand.

At this moment, the instant he crossed the star gate and faced the ultimate truth of this high-dimensional universe,

the [Miracle Card Maker] system in Chen Xi's mind—the one that had always accompanied him and granted him supreme power—suddenly let out an unprecedented, crisp sound, like the breaking of mechanical shackles.

[Ding! Detected host has left the low-dimensional petri dish and is contacting the true laws of the universe...]

[Hidden condition triggered! Final authority unlocked!]

[System's true identity revealed: The remaining spark of the 'Ancient Human Ascension Empire' from the Third Cosmic Era—[civilization seed editor (Admin Key)]!]

[Congratulations to host Chen Xi for obtaining the highest administrator authority of the Ancient Human Ascension Empire! Your class 'Miracle Card Maker' has been promoted to the ultimate cosmic sequence—[Creator Sovereign]!]

The moment he heard this string of notifications, a vast sea of cosmic memories flooded into Chen Xi's mind.

It turned out that the so-called "System" and the "Professional Panel" were not gifts from aliens at all!

They were a [Defense Evolution Mechanism] left in human genes by the "Ancient Human Ascension Empire"—which had dominated this universe hundreds of thousands of years ago before falling for touching high-dimensional taboos—to preserve the hope of human revival!

And his [Miracle Card Maker] was the unique [Admin] within this mechanism, possessing the authority to modify the underlying code!

"So that's how it is..."

Chen Xi snapped his eyes open. His eyes were no longer crimson-gold, but flowed with the light of the cosmic origin, reflecting the birth and destruction of endless galaxies!

He looked at the high-and-mighty alien fleet ahead that considered itself divine, his gaze filled with the arrogance and disdain of the human ancestors.

"You thought we were sheep wandering into a wolf pack?"

"No..."

Chen Xi raised his right hand abruptly. That ultimate mythic card fused with the ninth-tier Stargate Arbiter—[When Humanitys Stars Shine]—erupted with a terrifyingly intense light between his fingers that made the entire galaxy pale in comparison!

"We are the ancestors who have come to collect our debts!!!"

"[Creation Sovereign: Limit Overload]!"

"[Dimensional Reduction Summons: Slave of the Gods]! Come—forth!!!"

Rumble—!!!!!

As Chen Xi crushed that mythic card without hesitation,

the void boiled!

In the terrified scanning systems of those alien mechanical lifeforms, a giant polyhedral monster—so massive it could obscure half a galaxy and radiating the peak aura of a Ninth-tier Demigod ten times more terrifying than their own sovereign—was summoned without warning right in the center of their fleet!
