In comparison, the Earth Disaster seems much less significant.
Aside from polluting the earth in several possible worlds and forcing people to live on floating whales, it doesn't seem to have had much of an impact on the gods.
Even on the surface, the ecology of the floating whale has led to a shift from a polytheistic struggle for faith among various religions on Earth to a state of monotheistic management and control.
The religion no longer faces any competitive pressure.
Previously, on this land, kingdoms could even emerge as a form of government, thanks to the struggles between different religions.
However, once atop the floating whale, the power of the religion reached its zenith, and the form of government, such as a kingdom, could no longer be established.
For the cult and even the god behind it, this even seems like a good thing.
However, the true horror of the earth's calamities lies not in the calamity-inducing creatures, but in how they shake the foundations of God.
As a manifestation of the catastrophic return to the source...
"The larger the value, the 'heavier' it is, the stronger its gravitational pull, and the easier it is to be pulled back!"
This was inspired by Nemus's appearance in the End of the World.
In the face of a catastrophe that destroys the world, powerful beings like gods are more likely to die.
All the gods who survived were those who severed their original nature and degenerated from gods into saints.
The horror of the Earth Calamity lies in its continuous impact on all individuals in the surrounding area, causing them to acquire the characteristics of source matter reversion.
This characteristic may even penetrate deep into the spiritual realm, leading to similar phenomena in faith, ultimately causing the gods to fall from their divine kingdom.
Of course, most gods are unaware that they can be forcibly pulled from their divine realm and fall.
They simply realized that the calamities of the earth would affect the faith of believers, so they sent people to fight against the calamities of the earth and then modified the Source Whale, which in turn gave rise to a large number of floating whales.
Therefore, the great calamity is still in its early stages.
"The floating whale policy is an escapist policy."
"Perhaps the gods initially wanted to solve the calamities on earth, but after realizing that they were difficult to solve, they chose to escape."
"It seems that the floating whale solved the problem, but the calamity on earth has further developed because it did not bring down enough gods."
"But this is just an illusion of accumulating disaster."
"At this moment, you shall be the first judge of this calamity!"
The God of Discipline paid no heed to Nemus's words; he was now struggling with all his might to ensure he did not fall from his divine kingdom.
Deities rarely leave their own divine realm.
That kind of behavior is similar to a snail abandoning its shell; it's practically courting death.
In any case, the projection technology of the gods is far more advanced than that of the demon lords.
The projection of a deity can unleash all power except for the divine kingdom and divine body.
It's not worth leaving the divine realm for such a small advantage of divine form.
However, the God of Discipline now finds himself inevitably falling from his divine kingdom under that pulling force.
If he does not yield to that pulling force, then if it continues, his entire divine kingdom will fall.
The weight of the earth's calamities, originating from the mire of the end times, truly fell upon the God of the Commandments through the sacred vow ritual.
"It was exactly as expected!"
"Whether it's searching for the Son of God as a saint, or finding the place of slumber as a key point for the possibility of changing history."
"Were all my plans exactly as you predicted, Nemus?!"
The God of Discipline asked this question, then gave up struggling and was pulled out of the divine realm, his true form appearing in the astral plane.
At this moment, he felt that the pulling force from the quagmire of the end had weakened considerably.
Ultimately, it wasn't a strong desire to directly pull him into the material plane.
In that case, he would likely remain in the astral plane as a deity because he violated the fundamental rules of the world, while his consciousness, along with other key elements, would enter the material plane and become a divine saint.
In that situation, you would truly be at their mercy.
"Fortunately... the great calamity of the earth has not yet erupted, and everything has not yet reached the right point." After personally experiencing the great calamity of the earth, the God of Discipline suddenly understood something.
At the right moment, whether it's the abyss, a catastrophe on earth, or even other hidden disasters, they will erupt one after another, and then the whole world will enter a moment of destruction.
All order, all rationality, everything made of numbers will collapse under the influence of these things.
That would be a sight even more terrifying than the end of the world.
"Nemus, thank you for letting me feel this fear!" The true form of the God of Discipline floated in the astral plane.
He looked at Luna and Nemus, who had gathered around him.
At this moment, he understood that Nemus's ultimate goal was never to win a war of gods, but to kill him completely here.
The other side is fully prepared, and may even have many hidden tricks up their sleeve.
Even the Holy Son was a trap planted by the other side from the very beginning.
And yet, he couldn't understand or detect the enemy's methods of planting mines.
From that moment on, I was already in an extremely dangerous situation.
However, he only realized this now, which shows that he had been complacent for too long!
Chapter 817 The Transformation of the Kunpeng
The God of Discipline is probably the most crisis-aware of all the gods.
Because change is the first thing to reflect the world.
His special circumstances also meant that he was always the one who suffered misfortune; whenever something went wrong, he was the first one to be targeted.
In this situation, the God of Discipline felt a strong sense of crisis.
But as times changed, and he overcame difficulties time and time again, preserving his divine status, the God of Discipline even developed the illusion that, no matter how dangerous the situation, he could handle it.
Many good swimmers drown.
The same was true of the God of Discipline; his long-term success made him overlook the potential dangers of these things and he became less concerned about them.
For example, this time, they forcibly attacked the abyss, and then their divine essence was damaged.
In his early years, he would immediately use his trump card if he sensed something was wrong with Nems, sparing no effort to rise from his slumber.
However, now, although he is accelerating his own recovery, he has given up on the idea of sparing no expense.
“Logically speaking, it’s impossible for Nemus to have mastered divinity so quickly…” This was the thought of the God of Discipline at that time.
Now, forcibly dragged out of the divine realm and awakened from that false sense of security and control, the God of Discipline realized just how foolish and terrifying his previous thought had been.
“No need to be polite, just hand over all your divine essence here!” Nemus said.
After expressing their gratitude, it was a fight to the death.
At this moment, there were no more words spoken.
Each person's beliefs were exceptionally clear and firm.
Nemus and the moon goddess wanted the god of discipline to die.
But the God of Discipline does not want to die.
It was that simple, and that's how war broke out.
This time, however, the intensity of the war is unlike anything before.
The first to change were the group of whales in the astral plane that resembled floating whales.
These whales underwent a special transformation the instant the general war began.
Their once enormous bodies became slender, and wings grew from their fins.
Then came the claws and the sharp beak.
From fish to bird.
From whale to roc.
This is the true face of these whales—the Kunpeng!
It was as these Kunpeng transformed into Dapeng that the two Dapeng on the Holy Son's side also felt streams of power rapidly surging into their bodies.
However, at the same time, some essential aspects of their being are also being projected outwards.
The destination is naturally the blue sky!
The Azure Whale had already reached the level of a mythical species by relying on the power of the Kunpeng.
At this moment, the transformation of the Great Roc appeared, and that differentiated power quickly opened up the situation.
New achievements and historical milestones are rapidly accumulating, surging towards the azure sky.
What happened to Nems before is happening to Azure Whale once again.
This time, however, it's not a golden species transforming into a mythical species, but rather a mythical creature breaking free from the influence of the original mythical species and forming a new mythical species!
The same was true for Sister Whale; she had grown wings, a sharp beak, and claws.
Instantly, it transformed from a slow-moving, stable, and heavy Kun whale into a swift and powerful Peng that could fly thousands of miles in a single leap.
These opposing yet unified creatures naturally become the new mythical species.
As a result, the whale-man army suddenly became the roc army.
The battle situation on the material plane has undergone subtle changes.
The power of the God of Discipline was constantly intertwined, making the entire battle a series of interconnected events, suppressing so many of Nemus's golden race members.
But at this moment, the appearance of Dapeng shattered this plan.
Subsequently, the power of the Golden Seeds erupted one by one at this time, exceeding many people's expectations.
"Their values have exceeded the limit!!!" The golden seeds on the church's side were shocked when they saw that the values of the golden seeds exceeded one thousand.
The value exceeded one thousand, and the combat power increased somewhat, but not as much as expected.
In the war of gods, the main advantage this brings is morale.
When two armies clash, and the enemy does something illogical during the battle, the impact on morale is unimaginable.
A crucial aspect of the God Wars lies in the faith that is so vital to morale.
When morale collapses, the collapse of faith is not far behind.
This stark difference most directly highlights one fact.
Your god is not as powerful as my god.
In matters of faith, physical strength can often lead to fierce and irreconcilable conflicts.
Because high combat power can indeed determine a believer's sense of superiority when facing other believers.
Therefore, with a series of combined attacks from Nemes, the faith of the Discipline Church suffered a slight collapse.
The situation, which was initially relatively healthy, is now completely gone.
The advantage previously gained in the material plane battle was completely lost at this point.
At the crucial moment, it was the Pope of the Discipline Church who stepped forward.
He held the book in his hand, flipping through its pages, and began to read aloud.
"God has commanded: In times of danger, remember your own existence. With this commandment in your body, you will not be subject to external forces."
"God once reigned over the ether; the earth could not be moved, the wind could not disturb it, the water could not wet it, and the fire could not burn it!"
As the Pope uttered these words, the power of the precepts came into play at that moment.
Everyone seemed to be bound by a set of rules.
Their minds were quickly calmed.
Upon seeing this, the Pope also understood the perilous nature of this battle.
Since its founding, the Church of the Discipline has had countless popes and undergone numerous reforms.
They have encountered countless crises.
