Chapter 970 - 330: Omniscience

When the illusory bell tolled in their ears, all the Radiant Black Creator Gods reacted immediately.

But, it was already too late.

The Queen Mother of the West’s dying blow, the hidden strike left within Omegadotto, truly erupted at this moment.

The golden Sun Dial was frantically reversing.

As it reversed, something began to change.

The God of Chaos and Emptiness, Chaos, who was originally in a severely injured state, astonishingly began to revert to his state before the great war.

This... was the Queen Mother of the West’s hidden card, was she still alive?

Clearly, this was not the case.

Because that golden Sun Dial kept on reversing, reversing.

The several Creator Gods present also began to follow suit, reversing all the way back to the state before the war between Yao Black and the Human Race Saint started.

In this state, the Creator Gods were still Creator Gods, but they no longer had the realm amplification of the deceased Creator Gods, they were merely Creator Gods, and nothing more.

This was the true hidden card of the Queen Mother of the West.

She used the ability to reverse time to forcefully pull the Creator Gods back to their original starting line.

No matter which deity did it, they could not achieve such an effect.

Reversing five Creator Gods simultaneously, a means such as this is beyond anyone’s capability.

Even the Queen Mother of the West must have suffered enormous punishment from the River of Time, a punishment of unprecedented magnitude.

But the Queen Mother of the West was already dead.

The so-called punishment is now nothing but... a deathly silence.

"Ymir!"

"You want to die!"

A divine figure lunged at the seated Creator God, none other than the recently resurrected Omegadotto, who had also been drawn back in this great collective Retrospect event.

"Shut up, you useless wretch."

"You should have died in the arena, better than now, Yao Black Master’s blessing effect was purified by the Retrospect, you foolish thing!"

At this moment, the Yao Black stands suddenly erupted with noise.

From the direction of the human stands, it was unclear what exactly was happening across among the Yao Black side.

They only saw sporadic flashes of light and dark,

thought those who were unaware might have thought some great battle was breaking out there.

"Could it really be an internal conflict?"

"It should not be, the emotions of the Radiant Black Creator Gods have always been stable, even the deaths of the previous Creator Gods did not cause much disturbance."

"Unless something has made them lose their composure."

But what could make the Creator Gods lose their composure?

Could it be the maddened God of Order and Chaos?

It seems unlikely.

...

In the arena.

Shang Jianyue stepped through the Teleportation Gate into the interior, raising his head to first take in the especially ancient and plain-looking gray bricks around him.

Constructed by them, this Battle of the Gods, no matter the creator god wars it has endured, always seems as if new when one enters again.

The rules here, the principles and power contained here, hold an invisible allure for Shang Jianyue who delves into the exploration of truth.

"Is this the Battle of the Gods? It really makes one have the urge to deeply understand."

Saying this, Shang Jianyue suddenly shook his head, the fervor in his eyes dissipating.

"The old me wasn’t like this."

Shang Jianyue suddenly raised his right hand, tapping his head with his index finger.

"It’s you who brought me such a ’side effect’, always an overflowing desire to explore, no matter when, no matter what scenario."

He seemed to be muttering to himself.

For there was no one else who could provide him with an answer.

Meanwhile, in the distant light and shadow of the Teleportation Gate, a figure of a Creator God gradually took form.

It was a human figure.

He did not display his mythical form.

Was it a delusion? No, Shang Jianyue could not possibly be deluded, that was absolutely impossible.

Therefore, at the moment the Yao Black Creator God stepped out of the Teleportation Gate, he stumbled.

And his eye sockets bore a bluish mark, who knew who had punched one of the Creator Gods.

Who punched a Creator God?

Thinking of this, Shang Jianyue couldn’t help but open his mouth, yet without a sound.

But these discoveries diminished the awe-inspiring, inviolable image of Creator Gods in his heart by a notch.

As both sides stood in position, above the Battle of the Gods, their factions and names also appeared.

Human Race, Divine Realm, Shang Jianyue.

Yao Black, Creator God, Atum.

"It’s Him..." Seeing the name above the arena, Han Zhan was taken aback.

This name wasn’t too unfamiliar.

In Han Zhan’s memory, Atum was supposed to be good at card games and slumbered in a pyramid, possessing a tool known as the Millennium Puzzle, but these memories were assuredly incorrect.

He emphatically shook his head to regain his thoughts.

"Atum, like Ra, is a figure of the same legendary Creator God, looking at Him it seems... the authority of the sun was seized by Ra?"

Combining the parts of those otherworldly, unclear legends, plus past performances of Creator God Ra, Han Zhan made such a speculation.

"Having the sun’s authority seized, does it mean He is weak?"

Though it was highly improbable, a voice nevertheless asked.

Han Zhan shook his head.

"In the memories I can search, Atum has another trait, His eyes can see the true essence of all things."

"In other words—omniscience."

"I know, you’re quite remarkable." As Han Zhan began discussing the Atum he knew, the Atum in the arena also spoke, looking at Shang Jianyue on the opposite side, and said.

Shang Jianyue’s eyebrows slightly raised,

He considered many possibilities and their corresponding strategies.

But he never imagined that the Creator God from Yao Black’s side would start by praising him.

"I know, you have an eternal and steadfast pursuit of knowledge, just like your path, the virtual eternity."

"I know, from the moment you entered this arena, you were analyzing everything about it, including its rules, including its principles, and your aim is to transform this arena into your ’virtual arena’."

"I know it all."

This is omniscience.

Atum’s calm voice resounded, but his words stirred a storm inside Shang Jianyue.

He knew it all, yet he never interfered.

"I understand your doubts, but I have no reason to interfere."

"Because interfering with you would instead grant you other means to stall for more time, but if it were your ’virtual arena’, I could annihilate you in the shortest time."

Atum, He knows everything.

Even Shang Jianyue’s plan, with just a glance, was thoroughly comprehended.

Hearing this, Shang Jianyue pressed his lips tightly together.

"If words had destructive power, you could perhaps instantly kill me."

"However, winning this battle isn’t something achievable just by boasting."

"Come, virtual eternal domain, manifest!"
