Chapter 351: Gods

Four points of light, like deities, appeared in outer space, emitting a sacred glow.

On Earth, high-ranking officials from various nations were stunned. What kind of scene was this? Beings from the cosmos were approaching Earth.

As they drew closer, one creature became clearly visible: humanoid, with a pair of snow-white wings and long golden hair, a sight that made hearts tremble.

"My God, have you arrived?!" someone on the ground exclaimed, their voice trembling, their breathing quickening as they stared intently at the screen. This spectacle made their very souls stir.

The humanoid creature then approached a satellite. Seemingly surprised, it stood on the satellite, traveling rapidly along its orbit. Nearby, the other three creatures approached: an entirely black raptor, a multicolored tiger, and a young woman with a slender figure, purple robes fluttering and long black hair flowing.

All of them were glowing, radiating spectacular brilliance.

"Extraterrestrial beings have arrived, truly appearing! Earth is about to undergo massive changes!" Many people's hearts pounded with a mixture of tension and dread, for no one knew what would happen next, and the unknown always breeds fear.

At that moment, the man with white wings and golden hair stood on the satellite, appearing to be speaking.

"Quick, can we capture the aliens' special signal? Can we decipher what he's saying?" a staff member on Earth urgently inquired. This was of immense importance and had far-reaching implications.

Meanwhile, someone exclaimed upon deciphering another mysterious signal. This signal wasn't from the current space transmission but had been received earlier. It had only been fully deciphered after a period of time.

"Sir, this signal was captured by a more distant space probe and transmitted earlier. It has only just now been fully deciphered," someone reported this in a space research facility. Similar events were unfolding in several powerful nations worldwide, as they received new information—or more accurately, previously transmitted signals that had just been deciphered.

High-ranking officials in several major powers were now viewing the newly deciphered signals, which had been converted into images. The images depicted events occurring a bit farther from Earth. That region was originally dark, dim, very cold, and utterly silent.

Suddenly, a terrifying light appeared, and space in that area tore open, as if a silver seam had abruptly ripped through the darkness. It looked even more like a bolt of lightning. It was too sudden, shattering the silence. Upon seeing this scene, many gasped aloud. Some wanted to say it was unscientific, but since the great changes occurred on Earth, too many unscientific events had transpired to be explained by normal reasoning.

Then, several figures surged out: the four creatures themselves—the man with white wings, the holy woman in purple robes, the black raptor, and the multicolored tiger.

"This is the earliest footage captured," a space expert explained, "but the space probe there suffered severe energy interference, resulting in partial damage and incomplete transmission. The deciphering process was difficult, which is why it's only now been completed." This was the original footage, revealing where the four beings came from. It was astonishing: the dark space outside Earth had suddenly burst open, and they had surged out from within!

"Is this an alternative form of wormhole technology?" Some experts trembled, their eyes wide, wishing they could be there in person. Wormholes are narrow passages connecting two different points in space-time. With Earth's current means and technology, it's impossible to master them. Yet, they had just witnessed it: those four beings had used such a technique to arrive.

For a moment, Earth's high-ranking officials fell silent after witnessing this scene. It was hard to accept. Beings who had entered the path of evolution seemed no different from gods and demons in mythology, yet now it appeared they also possessed advanced "black technology."

"Perhaps the path of technology and the path of gods and demons lead to the same destination." Was this an enlightenment, or the essential truth? Perhaps, in ancient times, some early humans had already mastered such advanced technology. Savage beasts roamed, consuming raw meat and blood, yet accompanied by advanced technology—this was truly hard to reconcile.

It was fortunate there was a space probe nearby, close enough to capture such an incredible scene; otherwise, it would have been impossible.

"Look, they're doing something."

After the four beings emerged from the silver rift, they bowed reverently towards it, as if performing a solemn ritual.

"Oh my God!" people cried out, deeply shaken, their souls trembling. The sight they witnessed was simply too astonishing.

A hand, incredibly large, emerged from the silver fissure. Even from such a distance, its immense aura was palpable, though it appeared blurred. It was this colossal hand that the four bowed to. It then slowly receded, gradually vanishing into the fissure. Everyone realized that it wasn't the four beings who were defying nature and overly powerful, but rather that immense hand. It was the hand that had sent the four through the wormhole.

Finally, the area closed, the silver fissure disappeared, and the narrow passage connecting two different points in space-time vanished.

"Remember those coordinates! That location has a hidden wormhole, and behind it lies a brand new world!" someone exclaimed. But no one responded. What good would remembering do? What fate awaited Earth's inhabitants if they went there? In the eyes of those god-like beings, they might simply be ants. Everyone fell silent, deeply awed by the scenes they had witnessed.

Then, the four moved, each taking out different artifacts that emitted a sacred glow. One held a piece of silver paper, which, when glowing, was covered in tadpole-like script. Another held a banana leaf, also inscribed with numerous characters. If Chu Feng had seen this firsthand, he would have exclaimed in surprise. These silver papers and banana leaves were similar to the "Golden Arhat Paper" and were crude creations of powerful evolvers.

When the silver papers and banana leaves glowed, the tadpole-like script became visible, allowing the space probe to capture it. The four beings were then enveloped in light and the tadpole-like script, swiftly approaching Earth, which led to the initial scene—this was how they had arrived.

Now, some of them stood on satellites, while others flapped their wings, circling the satellite orbits, a truly astonishing sight.

"Sir, they're trying to contact us on the ground!" someone exclaimed with surprise.

"It's good that we can communicate!" Their greatest fear was that these beings would be cold and indifferent, which would spell enormous trouble. As it was, the situation didn't seem too dire.

Soon, the news spread, not limited to high-ranking officials and top powers; many people heard the rumors. Chu Feng also learned of it and saw some clear images. A major conglomerate had sought him out for cooperation and, to gain his favor, informed him of the developments. Currently, those seeking him out included not only forces from the East but also major Western powers and even the Sea Clan from the oceans.

"Aliens!" Chu Feng murmured. He felt a sense of urgency, knowing he had to become stronger, quickly making himself invincible, otherwise, no one could predict what the future held. Of course, he believed those four beings wouldn't dare descend to Earth anytime soon. Once they landed, they would have to pass through a "death gate." If they could have come directly, they wouldn't have opened a wormhole outside Earth.

"How strong must these aliens be?" the Toad asked with a grin, still squinting at people—a habit it had developed.

The Old Grandmaster also worried, his brows furrowed. He was already considered one of the peerless masters on land, easily ranking among the top ten. However, with the appearance of these extraterrestrial beings, the existing order would be overthrown, and all forms of balance would be shattered.

"They won't be ridiculously strong," Chu Feng said. "After emerging from the wormhole, they flew to Earth by relying on crude creations made by powerful evolvers, not by their own strength."

"Handsome bro, my grandpa wants to talk to you," the Little Demoness ran over and said. "He says he doesn't want to get angry and has calmed down."

She had been at Wudang Mountain for two days, exploring the entire area, while the old Taoist priest was still stuck at the mountain gate, unable to force his way in. Dog barks had constantly echoed for the past two days. The old Taoist priest was truly indignant and sorrowful. Thinking of his status in the outer realms, and then considering his miserable current situation, he genuinely wished he could just bash his head against something and die. After all, he was an old troublemaker, yet he failed to tease a young punk at Mount Tai, and instead got outsmarted. Moreover, that little bastard was still so arrogant, constantly provoking him.

He had softened because he also heard the news of beings descending from the outer realms. After much thought, he decided to reconcile with Chu Feng, because Chu Feng's identity and abilities would be crucial in the upcoming battles for the famous mountains! He could imagine that as more aliens appeared, and divine sons and celestial maidens successively broke through "death gates" to arrive, a great war was bound to erupt on Earth. Moreover, it would be a massive free-for-all involving many factions and countless inheritances, implicating numerous ancient life-bearing planets! At that time, forces allied with Chu Feng would undoubtedly have a much smoother time acquiring the famous mountains.

Of course, contending for famous mountains and harvesting exotic fruits wasn't the ultimate goal. There were also the grotto-heavens within these mountains, and even the residence and heritage of the peerless powerhouse ranked eleventh in the cosmic star sea. At the same time, the old Taoist priest had heard that there were other strange and mysterious things on Earth. Therefore, he wanted to compete for them. And from the outer realms, so many aliens, so many Saintesses and Daoists, coming here to contend—wasn't it also for the ultimate goal of achieving sainthood? Perhaps, this depleted Earth was due for the appearance of a saint.

Chu Feng reconciled with the old Taoist priest, making him swear various malicious oaths to guarantee no retaliation, which angered the old Taoist so much he nearly ripped out his entire beard. It wasn't because Chu Feng forced him to compromise, but because the oaths were too bizarre, too vile, and almost unspeakable.

"Kid, how perverse are you? What kind of twisted stuff is this, making me swear such oaths? Are you tired of living?" The old Taoist priest was furious but ultimately conceded.

However, when Chu Feng allowed him up the mountain, he almost got beaten. The old Taoist priest was enraged, claiming that all those "damned oaths" and "inner demon vows" were nonsense, and he didn't believe in any of that. He scornfully said Chu Feng read too many mythology novels, did he really think such oaths had binding power?

Of course, he didn't go too far and didn't dare actually beat Chu Feng, because only a domain researcher could remove the dog barks from his backside. He threatened Chu Feng, demanding that the dog barks be completely cured.

"Don't worry, Taoist master, we might be family in the future, so no need for formalities. Just wait and see, old man. When my domain mastery is profound, I promise to cure your... backside."

"Kid, what kind of talk is that? 'Cure my backside'—that's just distasteful!" The old Taoist priest disliked it. Then, his eyes widened, and his old face darkened. Seeing Chu Feng and his granddaughter exchanging glances, he suddenly realized what "might be family" meant.

"Little scoundrel, I'll beat you to death! How dare you flirt with my granddaughter? It's either you or me!"

"Damn it, you shameless old man! Your granddaughter was flirting with me, okay? And what do you mean, trying to compete with me for your own granddaughter? You're a pervert!"

"Chu Feng, handsome bro!" The Little Demoness rolled her eyes, slightly displeased.

"Oh my, your relationships are truly complicated," the Toad muttered, still squatting by the doorway, squinting at people and clucking, enjoying the show.

The old Taoist priest was already fuming, and then he happened to see a toad squinting at him. Instantly annoyed, he angrily said, "Even a toad dares to look at me like that? I'll kick you to death!" He kicked out, and the Toad shrieked, "Ah... you shameless old pervert!"

The Old Grandmaster watched from a distance, speechless. It truly was chaos there, with chickens flying, dogs barking, and toads leaping about.

Chu Feng had read both Jiang Luoshen's letter and Lin Nuoyi's letter. Ultimately, he agreed to go with Bodhi Gene. His heart was shaken after he finished reading the silver-paper book that Master Qianjia had personally delivered. This was an incredibly valuable secret manual, a heritage coveted by domain researchers. It was very complete and encompassed many things, making it a priceless treasure to him! The silver-paper manual revealed numerous domain secrets, opening up a completely new realm for Chu Feng.

Master Qianjia smiled, very satisfied, because Chu Feng had agreed to embark on the journey with him. The person from Heavenly God Biological was slightly astonished, then his expression changed. He quickly departed, intending to return to Mount Lao to report this development.
