Chapter 1889 – The Second Holy Covenant
”Gram Leader?” Lin Qiye was startled in his heart.
Lin Qiye had already had this premonition when [Chaos] had called him “Lord Azathoth”, but when he heard that the Three Pillar Gods were all born because of him, his heart immediately sank to the bottom.
The Three Pillar Gods alone had already caused many divine kingdoms to become anxious, just how terrifying must an existence that could give birth to them be?
”I remember that the setting about Azathoth was very exaggerated.” Memorial added as if remembering something, “It seems to say that He is omnipotent, that no one knows how He was born, that there is no knowing what He is like, aimless, disorderly, and unnameable ……
Oh yes! The most outrageous thing is that they believe that the entire universe exists because of Azathoth, and when He awakens, everything in the universe will be wiped out, as if it was a dream that never existed …… Anyway, the settings about this guy are messed up, that is, it says that He’s invincible lah invincible lah whatever, it’s all been cobbled together by different people, and it makes people feel very twisted.”
Hearing this, Lin Qiye’s expression was a bit odd.
Omnipotent, purposeless, disorganized, unnameable …… These he could still understand, but the universe exists because of Him? Everything will be erased upon awakening? This was too nebulous.
In any case, it was finally possible to know some information about Azathoth, and just knowing that He was the leader of the Gram System Mythos, as well as being the origin of the Three Pillars of God, these two points alone were enough to illustrate how powerful He was. The culprit who caused those four epileptic universes in the sickbay should be Azathoth.
But if this is the case …… then how can it be fought?
Just the [Chaos], [Key to the Gate], and [Black Goat] three pillar gods alone could make Da Xia’s chances of victory extremely slim, and now there is another one that is even more perverted than the three pillar gods Asatos ……
”Why did you just say that even if He exists, we can’t perceive it?” Lin Qiye looked like he remembered something.
”Because this universe all exists because of Him ah, it’s like we’re living in His dream world, the dimension He’s in is higher than us …… The shadow of the two dimensional world can’t really touch the humans of the three dimensional world even if they struggle any more.” Memorial continued.
”Not to mention us, even those gram system gods are the same …… It is said that in Cthulhu mythology, only the [Chaos] of Voltron can communicate with Azathoth.”
”Only [Chaos] can communicate with Azathoth?” Lin Qiye thought back to the words of [Chaos] in the sickbay and pondered, “No wonder He was so certain that He was the leader of the gods ……”
If the gram system myths were compared to a religion, then [Chaos] would be equivalent to being the only existence that could communicate with the true gods, and as the spokesperson of the true gods, He should naturally have the highest status.
And so on!
A thought flashed across Lin Qiye’s mind like lightning.
Dimensionally higher than us …… Unperceivable existence …… Lin Qiye s mind suddenly floated back to the game he had played with An Qingyu in the small courtyard in the capital!
[…… However, if you take the game within this chessboard as the benchmark for determining victory or defeat, you may never win]
[Are you saying …… that the thing that determines victory or defeat is not within this chessboard?]
[The world is small, and the chessboard is small …… There are some things that are bigger than them, and much bigger.]
”Beyond the chessboard …… Beyond the chessboard?” Lin Qiye violently turned his head to look in the direction of the Mirror Strait, his eyes flashing with a flash of brilliance, “Could he be talking about Azathoth?”
As a Three Pillar God, An Qingyu should have detected the presence of Azathoth even if he couldn’t communicate with him……. That game of chess he played with himself was actually hinting at the existence of Azathoth?
Even if they fought with the gram system on Earth, if they couldn’t find a way to deal with Asatos, everything would be meaningless, and this universe would still end up like the other four universes, ending up in epileptic destruction.
”In those books, are there any records of ways to defeat Azathoth?” Lin Qiye asked immediately.
”No …… they’re just novels, they’re not some ancient secret book, the setting of Azathoth in the vast majority of works is invincible, and the endings of these works are one more miserable than the other …… ”
Lin Qiye fell into silence.
Unbeatable …… Doesn’t that mean that this is a struggle destined to fail?
Seemingly sensing Lin Qiye’s state of mind, Remembrance opened his mouth to comfort, “I’m just talking off the top of my head, you shouldn’t take it too seriously …… Novel settings are, after all, fictional, and there may be an element of exaggeration in what I’m saying, in case Azathoth doesn’t exist at all? Even if it exists, it might not be as strong as I said.”
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, “I understand …… No matter what, I’m also the commander-in-chief of the Night’s Watch, if I’m so easily worn down by rumors of my will, it’s too much to underestimate me.”
Memorial was about to say something else when his face suddenly changed and he looked back behind him.
Almost at the same time, the light of the sky dimmed in the distance, and a huge cloud of blood and flesh was approaching the two at an astonishing speed.
”It’s really coming after them.” Lin Qiye swept his gaze across the surroundings, “There are still a few grammatical gods …… [Chaos] that haven’t come, so it’s one of the few good news.”
”There’s still a distance here from Daxia …… Can we run?”
”His speed is too fast, catching up with us is sooner or later.”
”What then? Let the Great Summer Sword Immortal make another sword strike?”
”No need ……”
Lin Qiye simply stopped and turned his head to face the speeding [Black Mountain Goat] squarely as he slowly spoke, “It should be feasible if there’s only one Pillar God …….”
”What do you want to do?” Although Remembrance was puzzled, he still followed and stopped his stance.
Lin Qiye didn’t say anything as he moved his gaze away from the dark cloud of flesh and blood that covered the sky and looked in the direction of Daxia.
Daxia.
Qilian Mountain.
Between the whistling wind and snow, a figure slowly walked forward, eventually stopping at the top of the mountain.
A crimson cloak fluttered between the mountains, and amidst the sound of the whimpering winds, an ancient and massive bronze bell stood majestically in front of him.
The Eastern Emperor Bell!
”The second holy covenant …… is the time.” Blazing Angel Lin Qiye muttered, “Are you ready, Chloe ……”
The last time the Eastern Emperor Bell rang, it was struck by the Fateful Monk himself, and the First Holy Covenant was unleashed, allowing Lin Qiye to go back thousands of years, lay out his karma, and survive in extremis……. It was also at that time that he made the other two holy covenants with Chloe from back in the day.
And now, he will personally ring the East Emperor bell …… The second holy covenant is also about to come out.
Between the wind and snow in the sky, the blazing angel Lin Qiye raised his palm, golden divine power infused between his palms, took a deep breath, and forcefully slapped the surface of the bronze giant clock!
Clang–!
Clang–!
Clang–!!!
