They all call me an Outer God.

Lia pointed at them, but in the end she couldn't help herself and laughed out loud with everyone.

Twenty days before the apocalypse, Ria intercepted it, personally bringing it to fruition.

However, the countdown continues.

On the day before the end of the world, Ria visited Azathoth, who had completely lost all reason and thought. The moment he saw Ria, he only wanted to grab him with his tentacles and merge with himself.

Lia, however, felt a little regretful.

“I know you harbor resentment towards me and think I'm treating you differently. I don't deny your accusations, and I feel incredibly sorry about them.”

Azathoth, no, Leah.

Looking at you, I can't help but think of myself back then. If we could always live a normal life, what would our lives be like?

“We must always exercise the power of creation, and since this is another creation, I want to create some different dreams. Since we've been working so hard for so long, and the countdown is over, we should return the apocalypse we borrowed to the dream world, and fill it with the consciousness of the gods we've won.”

"After all, this is the only solution I found among billions of choices that can avert the apocalypse."

As she spoke, Ria stretched out her hand and held it in mid-air, as if waiting for something.

After an unknown period of waiting, amidst endless darkness and chaotic mist, a dark and twisted tentacle emerged, hesitantly reaching out to grasp Ria's hand and entwining it.

Lia extended her other hand to shake his, shaking it up and down as if the two business partners had just completed a satisfactory meeting.

"Then it's decided, Azathoth. I wish us a pleasant collaboration."

……

"At dawn, the emperor woke up in his 800-square-meter bed. He opened his eyes and suddenly noticed that the pH level of the surrounding air was 0.1 lower than usual."

The emperor was furious: "Guards! Change all the air in here!"

“Junior brother, do you know what kind of place the Qinglian Sect is? It only accepts heretical cultivators. You are not qualified to enter the Dao.”

"Oh?"

"Junior Brother smiled wickedly: I was playing with tiles at three, boats at four, and practicing dual cultivation with Tieba at five. I call everyone I meet 'Mom.' Isn't that wicked enough?"

"Senior brother was shocked: This inner sect elder position should rightfully belong to you!"

"Doctor, how is my father?"

"Child, thank goodness your father brought you here early, or you would have died out there!"

"Then, doctor, what about now?"

"He's dead inside the house now."

"It's alright, since your dad didn't do anything, I'll do something for you. Come here, kid, I'll ask you: What has four legs, but is stiff and can't move?"

"Chair?"

"Wrong, it's your dad! Haha ...

"........."

"..."

"..."

"what!!!"

Inside the palace of Clembea, Sodris was jolted awake from a nightmare. He gasped for breath, feeling as if countless demons were whispering in his ear, making him wish he were dead. But as soon as he turned his head, Sodris saw a person wearing a white mask holding a newly written book, reading it to him bit by bit as if it were a dream story.

"His parents divorced, his father died tragically, and in order to avenge his parents and find the real culprit, he single-handedly supported his grandparents' education. Eventually, both his grandparents passed the postgraduate entrance examination, creating a beautiful story. Is this a distortion of human nature or a decline in morality?"

Sodris's scalp bulged, the veins practically leaping out of his skin: "Hephaestus!!!"

"Oh dear, Lord Xu Ri, you're awake! Do you know that you've been asleep for more than ten days? During the days you were in a deep sleep, everyone was very worried about you."

"I slept for more than ten days?"

Sodris struggled to get out of bed, feeling aches all over his body, as countless memories flooded his mind like a tidal wave.

He remembered that at the last moment, He absorbed the shockwaves generated by the collision between Geherus and the sun at the cost of His life, and rebuilt a new sun.

But now, how come He is still here, perfectly fine?

“And my abilities…” Sodris had realized that something had changed. He tried to summon flames, but as the Outer God representing the fire element, he could not release even the smallest flame.

"This is a normal phenomenon. The Primal One used its power to offset the apocalypse, and now it has given everyone a new choice. Whether they are new humans or old humans, they can walk on the earth again, but only [humans]."

"You mean, all our abilities have disappeared?"

"Perhaps this is true in His dreams, but reality is different. However, your consciousness has been completely surrendered to the primordial, and it is unlikely that you will have another chance to return to reality."

"This is also His last resort. Since the old and the new are fighting, He will bring everyone to the same level so that it will be fair."

"Is this what you call fair? I'm afraid many of the Old Gods will be unhappy about it."

Sodris, on the other hand, didn't care. In fact, he felt relieved. It seemed that he had made the right choice to trust Ria, as Ria never easily disappointed him.

Sodris is quite satisfied to be able to walk on the earth as a human being again and experience the feeling of humanity.

But He still hadn't forgotten one thing: "How did you get in?"

"Ah, this."

Hephis Gauth smiled with great pleasure: "You must have a bad memory. Long before the end of the world happened, I had already gone to the Church of the Rising Sun to apply to become your holy son. Now people respectfully call me the Holy Son of the Sun."

As the Holy Son, isn't it only right that I take care of you?

Sodris stood up, picked up a coat from the rack, and dressed himself neatly: "Okay, I understand. You did a good job. You don't need to do it anymore. You're fired."

"Ah, ah!?" Hephaestus exclaimed in surprise.

Sodris, however, didn't care about his feelings. After tying his bow tie, he walked straight out the door. As soon as he pushed the door open, with a "whoosh," ribbons fluttered all over his head.

"surprise!"

Emigana and the others stood outside the door. As soon as they saw Sodris appear, they started setting off fireworks. Sodris, facing them, had a much gentler expression, his eyes like those of a group of lively children.

"I am quite at ease knowing that Endlers has you all in his hands for the future."

"We have already heard from Lord Abyss that you are Lord Radiant Rising Sun, who has always protected us!"

"Lord Radiant Sunrise, could you please sign your name for me?"

"It really is you, Lord Radiant Sun! We all love you!"

Sodris had always known he had many followers, but he hadn't expected them to be this fanatical. He was even surprised when someone presented him with an idol for an autograph. (End of Chapter)
