The world within the gss window.

  It felt like peering into the primordial microcosm of Earth's Cambrian period, witnessing the earliest forms of life as fish swam in the ancient seas, struggling to evolve and climb onto nd.

  Li Qing fell silent in an instant.

  Though he didn't know what tragic events had befallen the Atabia Kingdom that day, the fact that fish had evolved in a single day was absurd.

  What exactly has Ning Guochang, that Pangu of heaven and earth, left behind for me?

  At least he'd brought the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder.

  But under microscopic observation, these fish seemed far too crude.

  Their exteriors resembled rusted submarines patched together from broken bricks, pebbles, and cellur flesh, exuding a post-apocalyptic steampunk vibe. They barely appeared functional.

  Perhaps in the future, these primitive fish might develop ornate scales, much like how ancient people of the cy age gradually improved their earthenware, adding intricate carvings and patterns until they finally created their own beautiful blue-and-white porcein.

  When they develop their own aesthetic style of fish, perhaps there will be something to look forward to.

  While Li Qing stood momentarily stunned, the King of Atabia had already steered his massive serpent-like King's Ark across the ocean. Struggling to make contact through the gss barrier, he sent a wave of consciousness tinged with disbelief:

  "Outer Evil God! Your civilization possessed such lifeboats eons ago. Yet you call them... 'Fish'?"

  "You may understand it thus," Li Qing replied after a moment's consideration.

  His consciousness dwarfed that of bacteria by billions, resembling a vast nebu of cosmic proportions.

  A majestic consciousness descended like divine will: "However, the 'Fish' of your world remain primitive - equivalent to our civilization's Early Cambrian period from 500 million years ago."

  "Early Cambrian?" Emperor Atabia pondered the information.

  This must refer to a specific era, much like how they termed this current civilization the Great Mist Era.

  "500 million years? That's how ancient?" Emperor Atabia inquired.

  Li Qing observed these vibrant Wise Ones brimming with curiosity. He considered for a moment.

  Unlike their first encounter, he refrained from unleashing the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder - that cataclysmic judgment - without expnation. He knew they might meet again.

  After this great extinction, it's estimated that only about 70% of the popution would be wiped out before they found another way to resist ultraviolet radiation.

  Moreover, having become multicellur and developed thicker armor, the ultraviolet mps' penetrating lethality was likely even lower than anticipated.

  Li Qing set down his device, pulled up a chair, and sat squarely outside the Crystal Wall, overlooking the entire civilized world within the ocean while meeting the emperor's gaze across from him.

  Just as before.

  Li Qing and Ning Guochang locked eyes.

  "How long is five hundred million years?"

  This was Li Qing's second time sitting by the gss window, but the person across from him was no longer the same.

  He briefly expined human counting methods, then pointed to another skylight in the room and said pinly, "The light alternates between bright and dark, marking a day. About thirty days make a month, and twelve months make a year..."

  "So, five hundred million years is..." After hearing the conversions, Emperor Atabia's mind was utterly shaken, finding it incomprehensible.

  If calcuted this way, their civilization had only existed for less than ten days since its birth.

  It took them a full ten days to evolve from single-celled organisms into fish!

  And what about the evil god civilization from the chaotic void beyond?

  They had created this most rudimentary fish genetic blueprint 500 million years ago. So what about now, 500 million years ter?

  Given such an unimaginable span of time, how terrifyingly brilliant must the Creator God Civilization have become?

  A God-level Civilization capable of creating life itself!

  In that moment, Emperor Atabia felt an indescribable suffocation, as if crushed under an overwhelming pressure. His breath came in ragged gasps as he gazed upon the massive Chaos Outer God before him. The sheer scale of this being's civilization defied imagination.

  The power this entity wielded was earth-shattering - a single flood it had created had nearly destroyed their entire world, proving its might beyond doubt.

  Beyond the World Crystal Wall, in the hazy chaos, the colossal figure gazed down from above the clouds and spoke slowly: "So, Emperor of this young kingdom, have you been waiting here for me?"

  "Yes."

  Atabia paused briefly before regaining his composure. "Knowing you would continue to destroy our civilization, I waited for your return beyond the world's edge."

  "Despite knowing I would kill you and your entire race, you still dared to appear before me?" Li Qing's consciousness waves surged forth, a thread of thought enveloping the space between them.

  Though Li Qing felt reverence and fear toward this microscopic kingdom civilization within the boratory, it didn't mean he dared not face them or speak to them.

  At the end of the day, why should I be scared? They're only going to be more terrified than me!

  Yet their civilization dares to face fear head-on, confronting this "Outer God Civilization" from beyond the universe. They bravely resist and raise their voices in defiance. So why can't I face them directly?

  Through the boratory gss, if I'm too cowardly to even act like a keyboard warrior, too afraid of immature bacteria—

  What's the difference between me and waste?

  Moreover...

  Their astonishing wisdom, talent, and keen senses mean they'll detect any trace of fear. The more they sense my weakness, the more I'll try to appear strong, until it's actually them who grow frightened.

  Outside the b, I'm just an ordinary member of society.

  Here, I'm an impenetrable Outer Evil God from beyond the heavens.

  This is the information gap. To them, everything in the Giant's world remains mysterious and unknown. The external civilization is powerful, created by the Creator God.

  Foreign moons are always round!

  As a psychologist, I understand emotional psychological warfare well. On a whim, I decide to add a mass extinction to the Violet Heaven Divine Thunder's world-ending destruction:

  A mass extinction of combat will.

  "If he dares to converse with me, I'll use words to dismantle their civilization and bring them fear."

  Sometimes words can be sharper than bdes.

  When a civilization gives birth to fear, despair, and loses its backbone and pride, then it has lost its very spine.

  No longer resisting - this is more effective than violent annihition.

  At this moment, Emperor Atabia gazed upon the colossal visage of the Evil God, wreathed in clouds: "How will you destroy us? Not another great flood, I presume?"

  "You'll know soon enough," Li Qing replied calmly. "My purpose in coming to this world is to judge the Atabians before bringing camity. I offer you humanity's final chance."

  "All beings on earth bear the Original Sin," a majestic voice resonated from the clouds.

  Li Qing produced a phone, pying a solemn church hymn at maximum volume, pressing it against the gss window.

  Whoosh...

  The Holy Anthem of God reverberated across the Crystal Wall World's heavens, shaking the realm for a hundred miles.

  Like thundercps shattering the sea, countless Atabians near gss windows staggered violently.

  Click!

  Lights fshed.

  The phone pressed against the gss window activated its fshlight.

  The Holy Anthem resonated through the air as a massive beam of Holy Light pierced through the yers of clouds, scattering across the sky and descending upon the ocean.

  "God shall judge the original sin of all living beings in this world."

  A magnificent pilr of sacred light emerged from the clouds.

  "God loves all people. God created everything, yet the people of this world have bsphemed against the Creator." This was the enumeration of their sins.

  The divine presence manifested, the Holy Anthem echoing across the heavens as the pilr of light shot toward the earth.

  The colossal divine being, obscuring the sky, stood beyond the World Crystal Wall, shrouded in a hazy expanse of sacred light. As it gazed down upon the multitude within the Crystal Wall World, it spoke slowly:

  "The gods have decided to bring great camities upon this world as punishment."

  "The power of God is beyond your comprehension. If you repent, establish temples and become believers. Drown the sinners on crosses, offer sacrifices, and God will forgive you."

  Li Qing began preaching this superstition before Emperor Atabia.

  What sinister scheme was this? Who were the true targets of this divine retribution? Naturally, it was their king.

  This was the path of the Ancient River God - deceiving the pitiful commoners into offering child sacrifices and various tributes.

  And the first sacrifice to be offered would be you, O King.

  Whether this scheme succeeded or not, the rift between the people and their king would be irreparable.
