BXBX NOVEL Chapter 254 Start
"So I shall say to you once more." Kathcronus emphasized, "The embodiments will support your cause, but cannot help you. You need to hold on and fight just as we do ourselves. Protect this universe as we protect it as well." After saying that, he bowed slightly towards Matthias before disappearing entirely.
It was silent inside the room for a while with the occasional sharp breaths.
A while later, Matthias clasped his hands as he looked at his children, "I need to go back to Divine Heaven. With the new information that we have, we must be prepared to face the Eldritch Beings and exterminate them as fast as possible." He said.
His children stood up and bowed respectfully, "Please be safe and protect the Mothers."
After nodding, Matthias then vanished, returning to Divine Heaven and protecting the realm.
"We must finish terraforming the planets as soon as possible and establish godhood among the aboriginals. Only then can we establish our Heaven." Alexander said to them.
"Indeed." Han Jun nodded, "Considering the graveness of the matters at hand, establishing our Heaven would provide our realm with hope if ever the Eldritch attacks our domain and wins."
Agreeing with one another, the Divine Siblings returned to space, resuming their work.
Days later, the gods and siblings gazed at ten blue and green planets in front of them. "It's done." Alexander gasped with relish.
"The problem is.." Han Yue clicked her tongue, ".. there's no living beings except for plants and bugs. Although they can provide faith, it's not as abundant as for the sentient beings."
"Let me handle those." Denos suddenly spoke. Moving forward, he extended his hands, releasing his energy and enveloping the system.
Suddenly, the sun started moving a lot faster than before. The planets orbiting the star also started to spin and fly around the star so fast that one could only see afterimages of them.
"Time acceleration." Alexander and his siblings gasped in shock.
After marveling at the feat for a long time, the acceleration finally stopped. Denos lowered his hands, panting, before staggering while he was moving forward to them
"It would've been easier if Lord Asileius was here." He sighed.
"That reminds me." Alexander gasped, "Father once told me about Lord Asileius, the being that he entrusted the security and management of Matheon to. Where is he?" He asked.
Denos sighed. Bai Xia stepped forward and explained to them, "It was three centuries ago."
"Lord Asileius felt a disturbance with the surrounding space and its laws. Thinking that if left unattended, it would implicate the galaxy, he, together with his clansmen, sought to look for the disturbance."
Denos then spoke, "He entrusted the management of the galaxy to me, knowing full well of my power that equals or even greater than his."
"He told me that he would return once the disturbance was quelled, but he still hasn't returned until now." Denos shook his head with solemness. "Do you think.." Alexander narrowed his eyes and speculated,"..they encountered an Eldritch?"
"Most likely." Denos nodded. "Without Lord Asileius, Matheon has lost one of its pillars. Me, Bai Xia, Xuan, Lord Key, Jeremy, and Sana had been standing to protect Matheon's existence, considering that it had just been recently restored."
Jeremy suddenly spoke, interrupting their conversation, "There is an average of a hundred people inside every planet. You should take this opportunity and establish your existence within their minds." He reminded the siblings
The seven nodded. They looked at each other, seeing the determination within their bright eyes. "It is time for the Diserian System to meet their deities." Key smiled at them.
The seven turned to each other and said their goodbyes, "Let us see each other once we established our godhood." Alexander declared before clasping his hands and bowing towards them.
"Let's." As a sign of respect, the siblings also returned the bow.
Finishing their farewells, the seven descended their respective planets, accomplishing their missions respectively.
As for the other three vacant planets, it was jointly managed by Denos and the others, establishing the Divine Emperor's faith within them.
Denos, Bai Xia, Key, Jeremy, Sana, Xuan, and the other gods, looked at the celestial system with anticipation, agreeing with one another that the siblings would return mightier and more majestic than they were now.
Within one of the planets..
Lush forests, tall mountains, and a wide and almost never-ending ocean. This world was already filled with ancient prehistoric creatures that would strike terror within the hearts of modern humans.
Alexander gazed at the surroundings, feeling the burden of responsibility weighing down on his shoulder. "In the beginning, there was nothing. Then, there was everything." He muttered.
"This world must be governed to achieve and nurture true rulers." After having that conviction within his heart, he descended to the Great Plateau, the home of the humans of this age.
Although the world only had at most seven hundred people, spread throughout the lands, those who resided at the top of the Great Plateau already had a civilized system.
The houses were built at the side of the plateau, occupying almost a quarter of the edge. On the side, the residents seemed to have built a shoddy flight of steps on the plateau's cliff edge going down the forest below.
Speaking of the residents, their clothes were very much well-made, having utilized different materials such as leather, threads, and silk. Their hygiene was also incredible, with their faces almost devoid of dirt that could be usually seen on ancient people. Their hairs were combed straight, and the men's were neatly cut.
The houses, made of various materials such as stone, wood, and dry straw, were scattered evenly over the side of the plateau. Roads laid with pebbles connected the different houses and establishments within the tribe. The road was also connected to a lake that sustains the lives of the people within the tribe. The people had even built a dam made from a mix of metal and stone, preventing the lake water from running down the edge.
Outside the homes, the people were preparing different meals such as boar and goat, cooking them on an open fire fueled by dry wood from the forest trees below. There were also some that were attending to chicken coops and cow pens on some houses that were much more developed than the others.
Alexander looked at the tribe, deeply impressed by their more advanced way of living, considering the age that they were living in.
After observing the society for some time, Alexander then visited the other tribes within the world.
The next place he arrived at was the forest. It was filled with various critters, from arthropods to wetland direwolves to death crows.
Atop the tall trees was a small village interconnected by weeds and planks of wood. Houses built with weed and vines were all over the place. Different from the Great Plateau residents, the forest civilization was what Alexander could definitely define as "prehistoric".
The citizens of this society wore long leaves and tattered leather as clothes. There were stone spears, shoddily-made bow and arrows, and stone axes. Interestingly, Alexander saw that the hunters of the tribe, although utilizing such shabby equipment, could impressively kill powerful beasts with just a single shot. The power stored within their bodies is just superb.
'If these people advanced to become Ourani, they would definitely be a part of the Heavenly Royal Domain's elite Hou Yi Archers that could annihilate stars with a single arrow.' He thought to himself as he marveled at their skills.
"majQa' wIghoS!" Suddenly, a shout echoed throughout the forest. Seven forest people were walking towards the village. Tied on a wooden pole was a dead bull that was ready to be butchered.
"Soj!" The others yelled cheerfully in response.
The forest people enthusiastically jumped down, sliding on vines, jumping from branch to branch, and even stumbling down the tree trunks.
They gathered around the returning forest people, poking the bull that was hanging on the pole. The others harvested firewood, preparing for the upcoming great feast.
"Kul M'agat Sunamun!" The people chanted with reverence, kneeling towards the huge tree standing in the middle of the forest.
"Kul M'agat Sunamun!"
An old man wearing a red feather headdress then walked towards the bull as it arrived near the flame. In his hand was a staff decorated with different ornaments, and on top of it was a skull with a mysterious symbol on its forehead.
"Lemahwo Yianqoa.." The old man sang with a modulated voice.
"Ianahwo Uahaiqu..
Jaiqix wuiwwo..
Siis suisowi.."
After a short brief of silence, the other forest people repeated what the old man had done.
"Lemahwo Yianqoa.."
"Ianahwo Uahaiqu..
Jaiqix wuiwwo..
Siis suisowi.."
"Oxwoxu uwizcowwo!" The old man suddenly slammed the staff on the ground, creating a small shockwave, sending ripples around the forest.
After that odd ritual, the bull was placed on top of the fire, finally cooking the beast for a meal. The women of the tribe also started to move, as they gathered fruits and berries growing around the village.
