[Level-One Alert: The Six-Winged Seraph Michael has appeared in the Pacific Ocean, issuing a final ultimatum to humanity. Citizens are urged to immediately return to underground shelters!]

 

[Level-One Alert: The Prime Demon of Hell, Amy, has appeared in the Western Pacific with the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The Apocalypse is upon us!]

 

[Frontline Military Report! Great Xia has dispatched the Godslayer Squad to assist the last Guardian God of Great Xia—Asura God Lin Fan—in battling the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We believe we can overcome this crisis as we have before.]

 

[Frontline Military Report! God King Zeus has appeared, and the American Recorders Organization has been annihilated, with all three recorders dead.]

 

[Frontline Military Report! Guardian God Lin Fan fought the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to the death, but human strength has its limits. He fell to the sneak attack of the God of Time, and the Death Knight is invading...]

 

[Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Great Xia Supreme Command Center. I am Zhang Maoyuan, the National Leader, and this will be the last message.]

 

[As the last hope of Blue Star, we sixteen billion people united to defeat the God of the Ocean, the God of Tempest, the God of the Sky, and the God of Winter... We overcame the deities with human bodies.]

 

[But.]

 

[Human strength is ultimately human strength.]

 

[The God of Thunder, Zeus, Prime Demon Amy, and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, along with Michael and the Angel Legion, have formed an alliance. The joint attack force is only ten kilometers from the Great Xia Supreme Command Center.]

 

[Now, we regret to announce that humanity's last hope is extinguished at this moment. Please step out of the shelters, take a look at this beautiful world, and embrace your loved ones and friends.]

 

[From today, this land left by our ancestors no longer belongs to us.]

 

[It will become the Divine Domain of some deity.]

 

[From now on, there will be no more humans, only human believers.]

 

[For the sake of your lives, please do not resist, do not be angry. Kneel respectfully to those deities and demons, willingly become their believers and apostles, and from now on, abandon all emotions, abandon family, and become their tools.]

 

[Please abandon the brilliant history and culture of millennia, abandon art, abandon poetry, abandon love and hate, abandon kinship and romance, do not resist, offer your soul, serve the deities, and praise the deities.]

 

[Please become the private property of the exalted deities.]

 

[Only in this way can you survive, even if you will no longer be yourselves.]

 

[We are sorry, we tried our best. Finally, thank you all for your dedication and perseverance over the years.]

 

[And, for the last time, we wish you all a Happy New Year.]

From this day on, in the history of this plane, the human species is completely extinct.

The brilliant history, the great art, the technology that could rival the deities no longer exists, leaving only a group of zombie-like human believers praising the deities.

From then on, Blue Star becomes a subordinate plane of the Divine Realm.

The human clock stops at New Era 0015, with the first chime of the New Year.

"Deities, so high and mighty?!

Today, I'm going to slay a god!"

Lin Fan suddenly stood up from his desk, shouting with a fierce expression.

"Lin Fan, what are you doing?" A middle-aged teacher stood at the podium, staring at Lin Fan with a blank expression.

Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, looking around in shock.

Instinctively, he reached for his waist.

Unfortunately, it was empty, with only a pack of spicy strips.

"Where's my knife?" Lin Fan looked at the spicy strips in his hand in disbelief.

His Asura Blade, which had drunk the blood of countless deities, was gone?

This sudden reaction instantly caused the whole class to burst into laughter, but Lin Fan seemed oblivious.

Looking out the window, although the cold wind blew, the sun was shining brightly.

"The sky isn't red?

There are no rifts leading to the Divine Realm in the sky?

This isn't a time-loop world?"

In the classroom, Lin Fan looked at those familiar yet unfamiliar smiling faces, stunned.

The numbers on the electronic clock on the wall were ticking.

2025, November 11th, 4:52 PM.

His second year of high school!

"I'm back?"

Looking at his classmates around him, Lin Fan was moved to tears!

"No, no, I was ambushed by the God of Time... This is the God of Time's trick... No, no, this is real... My divinity, my Divine Temple, all gone..."

Feeling his weak and powerless body, Lin Fan's expression changed several times, finally bursting into laughter.

He was absolutely certain.

This was not the God of Time's trick!

He had truly returned!

Returned to three months before the Day of Divine Descent!

"Lin Fan, are you performing?" The middle-aged teacher frowned, "Just in time, answer this question: what is the reason for the rising sea levels and warming temperatures in recent years?"

Lin Fan exhaled.

"Because the deities are descending. This world has attracted a group of deities."

As soon as he said this, the classroom erupted in laughter again.

"Hahaha... Lin Fan, are you joking?"

"What dream did you just have? Wake up, we're in class now!"

The middle-aged teacher looked at Lin Fan with a bewildered expression: "You..."

Lin Fan ignored his classmates, taking a deep look at his burly deskmate, smiling with reddened eyes: "Old Fifth, it's so good to see you again."

With that, Lin Fan turned and walked out of the classroom, ignoring the teacher's calls from behind.

Standing at the school gate, looking at the familiar scene, Lin Fan slowly crouched down, grabbed a handful of soil, and took a deep breath.

"This time, I must save Great Xia!

Whether it's deities or demons, even if that old fellow Zeus comes, he won't take a single step into Great Xia!"

The young man stood up, clenched his fists, and looked at the sky.

His eyes turned cold and indifferent.

"High and mighty?

Heh, living again, even if it's a deity, I'll kill them for you to see!

If you dare, come! I'm here waiting for you."

The young man's gaze seemed to pierce through the void, penetrating space, looking at some indescribable existence.

But then.

Lin Fan lowered his head.

If he remembered correctly, in three months, it would be the Day of Divine Descent.

From that day on, humanity entered a new era, the last era.

"Three months... Time is too tight.

If I remember correctly, the first to descend are two third-tier Ocean Gods under Poseidon."
