353: The truth of the matter

Although the Spy Master dared not admit it, he had already believed Song Zhong’s words in his heart.

Indeed, counting the gods on Earth, those capable of destroying the Seal in Antarctica were few, and judging from the fishing village incident, Asgard’s suspicion was indeed the greatest.

The Spy Master bowed to Song Zhong again, having just received a divine oracle from Michael.

“Lord Song Zhong, thank you for your explanation. Lord Michael asked me to tell you that if you ever need His help in the future, just ask.”

Song Zhong nodded, exchanging this information for Michael’s help was a very worthwhile deal.

“Jie jie, I like straightforward gods. Perhaps, it won’t be long before I pay Michael a visit.”

Hearing Song Zhong’s unreserved reply, even the calm Spy Master couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

Although Lord Michael had made a sincere promise, the other party seemed to lack the traditional virtues of Great Xia.

However, out of politeness, the Spy Master still said, “My Lord’s promise is always valid. Then, Lord Song Zhong, I shall not disturb you further.”

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Song Zhong said nothing more and directly sent the Spy Master out of the Ghost Country.

After sending the Spy Master away, Song Zhong came before Wang Mian.

Song Zhong looked at Wang Mian and said, “Since you’ve come to me, you must have already seen the residual image message left by Old Wang Mian, haven’t you?”

Wang Mian nodded, “Replying to Lord Song Zhong, I came to find you after seeing the phantom message.”

Wang Mian continued, “Lord Song Zhong, I want to know, why did my future self set up a time loop trap in the fishing village of Ningchang County?”

“As the agent of the Time God, you should know that the development direction of all things in the world is not singular.

In other words, besides the dimension we exist in, there are many time lines parallel to our spacetime.

And the one who came to Anta County to find me before was you from another time line.”

Wang Mian nodded. He had long suspected the origin of Old Wang Mian.

Song Zhong’s current explanation further confirmed his previous suspicions.

“Lord Song Zhong, did something go wrong on that time line?” Wang Mian asked.

“That’s right,” Song Zhong continued, “On another time line, the Cthulhu gods completely invaded Earth, thoroughly occupying this Universe.

And your future self, relying on the special nature of the Law of Time, has been secretly organizing survivors to fight against the Cthulhu gods.

Your future self indeed became the Time God, but he also faced immense trouble.

And the reason he went to great lengths to Transmigrate back was to prevent the tragedy from happening, hoping to use our power to rewrite the future script.”

Song Zhong let out a strange cackle, “I have to say, having mastered the Law of Time, you indeed have more room for maneuver.

As for the Seal in the fishing village, it was the fuse for the future world being completely invaded by Cthulhu.

That thing you saw is called the Whale of Change, an ordinary Divine Beast from Takamagahara.”

“That’s a Divine Beast from Takamagahara?”

Upon hearing Song Zhong’s words, Wang Mian immediately fell into deep thought.

The impact of these words on him was simply too great.

Wang Mian was already mentally prepared for the future disaster, but he never expected the future situation to be so passive.

Secondly, Song Zhong just mentioned Takamagahara, and he himself had once led a team to slay the Baqi Orochi.

That Baqi Orochi was also a god from Takamagahara, and Wang Mian still clearly remembered that the state of that Baqi Orochi seemed somewhat strange.

“Lord Song Zhong, what is the relationship between Takamagahara, the Whale of Change, and the future Cthulhu crisis?” Wang Mian asked. “Why do you say that Whale of Change is the fuse for all events?”

“Because Cthulhu has long completely infiltrated Takamagahara through the power of the Red Moon. Now, Takamagahara is full of Puppets of the Cthulhu gods.”

Song Zhong’s tone was calm, but a thunderclap exploded in Wang Mian’s heart.

“What? Takamagahara has been occupied by Cthulhu?” Wang Mian exclaimed.

This news was even more shocking than hearing about Odin’s betrayal just now.

Takamagahara is one of the largest God Kingdoms, and although their overall strength is on par with the Egyptian God Kingdom, their power should not be underestimated.

“But aren’t Cthulhu’s gods sealed on the moon? How could they have invaded all of Takamagahara?” Wang Mian asked the doubt in his heart.

“Think carefully, which Supreme Gods worship the moon?”

Upon hearing Song Zhong’s words, Wang Mian pondered for a moment and understood the reason for the matter.

In various mythological systems, although there are many gods who worship the moon, their status is generally not high.

As for those of Divine Rank Supreme God level, they are even fewer.

However, in Japan’s Takamagahara, there is such an anomaly.

He is the Japanese Supreme God, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, a Supreme God who worships the moon.

Wang Mian could imagine that Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, in his day-after-day moon worship, was continuously contaminated and eroded by Cthulhu’s Qi, eventually leading to a vicious cycle that polluted the entire Takamagahara.

“Is it Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, right?” Wang Mian said. “But, during the process of contamination, there must have been abnormalities. Did the other gods of Takamagahara just let it happen?”

Song Zhong smiled, “You overestimate that group of lunatics. Takamagahara, as a God Kingdom, is inherently different from other gods; they naturally possess an extreme emotion.

So, during Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto’s contamination process, it didn’t arouse much suspicion. In the end, by the time the other gods discovered it, it was already too late.”

Only then did Wang Mian realize why that Baqi Orochi had been somewhat abnormal at the time.

“Lord Song Zhong, then isn’t Takamagahara a ticking time bomb for Earth?”

“That’s right, the Whale of Change is the key to detonating this ticking time bomb.

However, don’t worry, this key will not open the gate of Takamagahara for now.

Old Wang Mian’s layout in the fishing village has changed, and although Yang Jian did not completely kill the Black Goat and the Whale of Change, he also severely wounded them. In a short period, they will not be able to go to Takamagahara. This has bought us valuable time.”

After hearing this, Wang Mian breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s good, that’s good. Lord Song Zhong, what should we do next?”

Song Zhong looked up at the surging golden ocean in the sky and said, “For now, we must first release the news of Odin defecting to Cthulhu, so that he cannot gather strength. Then, once the God Kingdom refinement is complete, we will begin to defeat them one by one. Only by unifying all the God Kingdoms can we have hope of resistance.”
