Chapter Twelve(1/2)
"The sound of the sky is gradually ringing, do all living beings know? The music is played by gods, and the ants cannot understand it. However, the earth listens to it. The sunken city, the lightless cave, the cellar of darkness, the gods listen. The gods understand its meaning and fade away from eternal sleep,
The moment of awakening.”
Kevin A. Ross "Sounds of Nature"

"Um?"
The Taoist in white who was giving lectures as usual in the Taoist temple seemed to have noticed something. He raised his eyebrows and glanced away, his gaze penetrating the dark universe.
I saw that the adjacent plane was gradually falling apart in the flowing river of time, and the physical universe with an infinite light-year diameter seemed to be disintegrating and about to completely fall apart. On a specific time scale, this process does not happen overnight.
, this cosmic disaster lasted for many years.
However, in the eyes of gods who view the three thousand worlds as they view three thousand dusts, in just a moment, they have already seen the process and the result.
Now that I know the ins and outs of the whole thing, I naturally understand the specific cause.
It looks like a huge rust-red planet, made of gas, ash and hot liquid iron. The outer shell is covered with faults and rifts. If it weren't for the vast ocean of liquid iron underneath forming a giant eye, it would seem to be quite normal.
.
This alien god named "Gheroth", who looks like a celestial body, drifts aimlessly in the universe and keeps singing his ethereal hymns.
He is the herald of destruction, and his song can even force the planets to change their orbits. The entire galaxy will suffer huge disasters because of his arrival.
Any galaxy it passes through will be affected by this song, and the stars will gradually reach the correct position. It passes through the orbits of countless stars, the tides on the planet change, volcanoes will also collectively erupt, and huge storms, earthquakes and tsunamis will also occur.
will follow.
And the most terrifying thing is that he also uses this method to awaken the demons or ancient gods sleeping on each planet... in order to destroy all the celestial bodies he passes by.
Any sleeping Old Ones or Outer Gods that inhabit these stars will be awakened by him and enter a state of activity. Then all other life on the planet will be destroyed, and the celestial body itself will cease to exist.
It will make the stars return to their proper places and awaken the masters sleeping in the crypts and submerged tombs; it will raise the tombs submerged in the sea. It will gaze at the believers who think they are the masters and shake their world until all
Everyone recognizes its existence and worships it.
What the white-robed Taoist saw was such a terrifying and absurd sight.
Ghroth traveled through the vast universe, singing to all the celestial bodies passing by, making the stars shrink and run away, and resurrecting the will sleeping on the celestial bodies...
Well, this is a bit of a literary description. In fact, it is an oversized walking alarm clock that keeps jumping around in the universe. It keeps making loud noises wherever it goes. It sings to people when it sees them, so that you can sleep well.
The ancient gods were awakened from their eternal sleep.
Not even the planet itself could bear the harassment of this alien god coming over and singing to him.
If there is a pan-consciousness similar to the will of Gaia in the stars, it has also been polluted and corrupted by the songs of the outer gods, so they will send out invisible screams of depravity and blasphemy, and directly change their orbits and run away...
It's like human beings have witnessed an existence beyond human intelligence. Because they can't bear the madness, they lose their sanity, or their eyeballs melt, or their brains are exploded on the spot.
In the same way, in the face of "gods" such as outer gods or the Old Ones, the stars of planets or stars and other cosmic bodies are not much stronger than the fragile souls of mortals. Don't say any hymns of courage to this kind of nonsense
The only ones who firmly believe it are those happy people who have never peered into the abyss.
"It's so noisy, how can there be such an annoying guy..."
The Taoist in white couldn't help but twitch his lips. He just glanced at it from a distance and felt that it had disturbed his eyes.
"No wonder he was kicked out of the ranks of Azathoth's court musicians. Even the choir doesn't want this guy. Isn't this guy too noisy?"
That world actually has the background of the Cthulhu Mythos. This was something he didn't expect, but if he was surprised, it wasn't too surprising. After all, this kind of thing was too normal.
This is not just the case in Greek mythology, but the outermost territory of any pantheon is basically a "three-nothing" buffer zone, which occupies the home field advantage. The pantheon still has dominance in these planes of time and space that are as large as the sands of the Ganges.
Level of influence, but not absolute.
Not to mention encountering the Old Ones and Outer Gods, nothing is surprising.
He waved his sleeves, rewinding time and space, and directly brought back the expedition vanguard he had sent out.
Quietly, the universe changed, and even the sky and the earth changed colors. The super mechanical life with a size of more than one million kilometers in diameter seemed to fall into pitch-black eternal silence in an instant. It didn't even have time to react.
It's an absolute emptiness.
It seems that time does not even exist in the emptiness, the smooth space-time continuum, and even the almost endless quantum foam in the vacuum can no longer be observed.
Empty, like nothing exists.
But this group of people didn't know this at this time. After all, they had too much to take care of themselves and were in a huge crisis...
When Xia Ran waved his sleeves, he spread out his fingers and grabbed it gently. Not only did he catch his vanguard, but he also pinched the huge rust-red planet that was singing happily in his palm.
He grabbed it straight away.
"..."
"..."
The "Sounds of the Spheres", as sharp as an air raid siren, stopped abruptly in an instant.
The giant eye formed by the ocean of molten iron hidden under the earth's crust seemed a bit sluggish, as if it couldn't understand what was happening for a while. The giant eye looked to the heights, and could only vaguely see something so majestic that even the universe could not contain it. Even he
Even I can't see the outline of the face of the vast god in full.
The wide robe and wide sleeves cover the four ends of the world. The condescending posture is like a fisherman who after reeling in the line finds that what he has lifted is a small fry and is squinting to look at it carefully.
Ghros seemed to see a feeling similar to disgust in it.
next moment.
The Taoist in white raised his foot, grabbed the huge rust-red planet, wiped it casually on his boots, then threw it up and kicked it away!
In the blink of an eye, the rust-red planet penetrated countless voids. In the turbulence of time and space, it suddenly flew to nowhere...
Just because it exists in the universe does not mean that it does not exist in other worlds.
It's very troublesome...
Glancing at that world, Xia Ran lowered his eyes slightly. Gherros had been dealt with, but the impact it had previously caused was a foregone conclusion. The stars were returning to their positions. The ancient gods would also wake up from the eons. The universe would eventually be destroyed.
Falling apart.
But this is our destined fate, should we just give up?
He thought carefully and soon made up his mind. However, he did not do anything anymore. Instead, he turned back with a calm face, as if nothing happened, and slowly picked up the green slip in his hand again, with a calm expression.
He opened his mouth and continued:
"There are feelings and beliefs, intangible, can be passed down but not received, can be obtained but not seen...Before Tai Chi but not high, be below the six poles but not deep, born in the heaven and earth but not long-lasting, longer than the ancient times.
Not for old age..."
Everything that just happened happened within an extremely short event element, and no one else knew about it except himself.
So it was as if nothing happened and the sermon continued.
Below are the outer disciples that Li Wangguan has recruited over the years. They are anonymous and are not genuine, but they are already famous people outside. No matter how bad they are, they are not the real people who have been punished. Now this group of Argosians
, all dressed in Taoist robes, shaking their heads as if very intoxicated.
The leader is the former Princess Andromeda, or should be said to be Queen Andromeda now, but she is also wearing a Taoist robe, her face is like that of a girl back then, her eyes are like autumn water, and she is dressed like a female crown... However, the alien race
The racial characteristics are obvious, and it really seems to be inconsistent.
For example, the blond and blue-eyed crooked nut has to wear a feather fan scarf. No matter how you match it, you can't have a romantic feeling in the Wei and Jin Dynasties. It can only be a little nondescript.
However, they themselves do not feel that, especially after being punished, they have actually gained Taoism. In addition, Li Wang Guan's transcendent status in this new world order and the benefits it has brought to them have been sincere.
He recognized himself and others as Taoist priests.
and
Perhaps because of the Olympus gods competing against each other, or perhaps because of the fanaticism of the converts, this group of aliens behaved very fanatically after becoming members of the Taoist sect.
After receiving the ban, I have been thinking about how to accumulate merit and improve my position every day, and gain more Taoist skills and other benefits...
I couldn't understand those mysterious Taoist theories, so I kept reading and pondering over and over again, forgetting to eat and sleep while studying...
Committed to combining theory and practice, and doing homework every morning and evening, a group of Greek nobles from the Kingdom of Argos were obsessed with cultivating immortals and refining elixirs...
This style of painting is really weird.
…
…
The other side.
That group of unlucky people who opened up a new dimension and met an alien god holding a concert.
Because there is a constant gravity field inside, it is very stable from beginning to end, and no one feels like they are being dragged or falling. They don't even know what happened or whether they and others are out of danger.
The interior of this planet-level fortress is currently dark, all communication media have been cut off, and all internal passages are tightly blocked.
In some important areas, red warning lights flashed rapidly at the same time, accompanied by the powerful and shrill sound of an air defense siren!
In the central conference room, the huge 3D projection also revealed a rusty red light, and chaotic data was constantly being brushed out. It seemed that the will of this mechanical god body that was transformed into a planet-level fortress had been severely polluted and eroded.
fell into extreme chaos.
"Chaos infection warning!..."
