Chapter 2189
Unfortunately... the immortals never thought of using Titans to fight against the Celestials... or rather, Titans simply couldn't deal with the Celestials! You know, back then, the Titans also seemed extremely powerless against the Celestials. After all, the Celestials were, in a sense, exactly like the gods in the legend.
As long as they wave their hands, the Titans will return from a completely unscientific state of life to their original form of life... protein molecules one by one!
These creatures, which seemed so powerful to humans, were as fragile as sand statues when facing their creator. Even without exerting any strength, they would be blown into gravel by a strong wind. Therefore, neither the Ancient One nor the awakening gods underground took them seriously.
It was also at this moment that the stars seemed to be responding to the breath of the gods.
No matter whether it is day or night, humans on Earth can see that the light of the stars becomes extremely bright!
Especially in areas on the earth where it is daytime, it is like seeing a ghost. You can actually see the starry sky under the scorching sun!
This is the Celestials welcoming their compatriots back.
They cannot enter the solar system, but that doesn't mean they can't do anything. They can transmit energy through some means... Of course, doing so will actually result in a huge loss, but the Celestials don't care.
The Celestials have been around until now, and have fought countless wars, though they didn't win every time... For example, they have been hostile to the Observers until now. But they have never lost a war, even when facing the original race, the alien tyrants, a very mysterious and powerful race. The real name and details of the alien tyrants have long been lost in the long river of time, but they almost defeated the Celestials.
They used unimaginable resources and terrifying technology to create a weapon that could fight against the Celestials - the God Killer Mech, a huge and extremely powerful technological creation that can completely destroy a planet just by landing, and has the power to kill millions of Celestials in one blow. In the final battle against the Celestials, the alien tyrant sent out his powerful God Killer, and almost all the Celestials were dispatched. The tyrant won the war, but they were eventually destroyed... Yes, the Celestials won the war in the end, although the victory was a bit inglorious because the mysterious race died in a civil war... But survival is like this, surviving is winning!
The only defeat of the Celestials occurred on Earth.
They lost several compatriots, and one of them was even directly sealed... But that was nothing. What really terrified the God Group was that they found that the other party actually absorbed them as food!
This means that the immortality that the Celestials have always been proud of has become ineffective in the face of life on Earth.
The Gods are not afraid of war, even when facing Nar, even when facing the mysterious race that defeated them head-on, and they are even less afraid of the Observers!
Because the Gods know that they may win for a while, but in the end, the Gods will still win.
After all, they were not physical life forms. What was defeated was only their physical bodies, which they could prepare a lot. Even if they were defeated by the mysterious race head-on, they still had not failed and could fight back at any time... But the development of things was beyond their expectations. Before they could fight back from the resurrection point, the stupid low-level life forms thought they had won and started a tragic civil war... This change really confused the Celestials. They couldn't understand it either. After all, they would not have so-called internal strife.
But no matter what, they always have absolute confidence in themselves!
But they had a bad fall on Earth!
They were being devoured as food!
This is much more cruel than Nar!
Gnar tried everything he could, but he only killed a few of them... that kind of killing was extremely inefficient. In order for Gnar to kill the Celestials, he had to infect them first and turn them into flesh and blood creatures... well, it was becoming more and more like the flesh and blood curse of the Titan creations in World of Warcraft.
For example, the origin of life on Earth - Yuan. He was infected by the plague insects used by Nar, and finally died on Earth, which led to the birth of life on Earth!
But this method is not widespread. After all, the God Group is not fools and they will think of countermeasures.
But the method of the immortals... is incomprehensible to the God Group. They simply cannot understand why someone would directly absorb them into the body... How could flesh and blood life directly absorb energy, especially their energy? You have to know that the God Group has done countless biological experiments over the years.
In the end, they could only blame it on the peculiarities of life on Earth. After all, they were, in a sense, direct descendants of the Celestials… although the Celestials did not have the concept of reproduction and offspring.
In short, the appearance of the immortals caused the thing that the God Group was most proud of to collapse.
Regarding how to deal with the Earth, the Celestials prefer to destroy it outright, at any cost.
Unexpectedly, the life on Earth found them and reached an agreement with them. The Celestials were not allowed to set foot on Earth, and the immortals would not take the initiative to go to war with the Celestials.
After intense negotiations, the Celestials finally chose to compromise... Of course, they could destroy the Earth at any cost, but how many of their fellow Celestials would have to sacrifice?
This is not the kind of sacrifice where the body is destroyed and can be reborn.
But it disappeared completely and totally!
In the end, out of cherishing their compatriots, the God Group accepted this deal.
Similarly, the Celestial God Group also made a request. They do not want the immortals to stay on Earth… If there are more and more immortals, one day they will surpass the Celestial God Group. Wouldn’t that be condoning evil?
So it would be better for the immortals to leave the Earth and exchange their future for the freedom of the Earth!
The immortals also accepted this deal.
Both sides have concerns. If the immortals do not leave the earth, how can the gods believe the sincerity of this transaction?
So even though the immortals knew that the gods forced them to leave the earth in order to make them lose their blood-forming function and then slowly become extinct, what could they do?
I can only agree.
Moreover, the immortals also felt that it was no longer point for them to stay on Earth. They had always dreamed of ascending to heaven. For tens of thousands of years, countless predecessors had been working towards this goal, only to discover that it was all a huge scam!
This is also the main reason why the immortals risked their lives before... Ascension was just a joke, a clumsy and vicious joke. This broke the defense of many immortals. The dream they pursued all their lives turned out to be such a result. They did not go crazy completely because the immortals had courses to cultivate their minds. They believed that ascension was not only a manifestation of strength, but also a sublimation of the mind. In order to pursue ascension, they not only needed to exercise their strength, but also cultivate their minds.
This caused the mental qualities of the immortals to explode.
But this also caused many immortals to become extremely emotional, and they directly fought against the gods.
After confirming that the road ahead was blocked, the immortals began to think about what to do in the future.
So they decided to leave the Earth.
Leave the Earth to the race with the greatest potential - humans. (Immortals are a group, not just humans. Some of them are animals, some are plants, and some are even stones. In short, their origins are all kinds of strange.)
With the departure of the immortals and the establishment of the Great Guardian, it seemed as if everything was really over.
How can it be!
The Celestials have always been extremely wary of the Earth, even to the point of... hatred!
This is a very rare and new word for the Gods... They are not sure what this feeling is, but they found corresponding nouns from other life emotions and used them to describe it.
But they do hate the Earth.
After all, this planet can give birth to immortals, but who can guarantee that it will not give birth to some other messy things again?
But the deal has been made, and neither party can go against it. After all, it was certified by the Life Tribunal! Even the Life Tribunal itself cannot go against it... Otherwise, how can it be called Life-Tribunal? The Life Tribunal took the initiative to choose order as its essence, and included the entire universe, so order is it! He made it, and if he violated it, it would be equivalent to completely denying himself! This is something the Life Tribunal cannot accept!
Therefore, the God Group had no choice.
But now is the best chance... The sealed brothers have woken up and are ready to appear on Earth. Once successful, the Earth will be completely destroyed!
In this way, the Heavenly God Group would not be considered to have broken their promise. After all, their brothers were sealed by the immortals themselves, and they did not take action to break the seal. They just wanted their brothers to be born as soon as possible, which did not constitute a breach of promise!
So even though transmitting energy across countless light years is a very inefficient way, the Gods are willing to do it.
This is completely against the nature of the Celestials. The Celestials are efficient, cold, and full of order. Everything is done according to the optimal solution... as if it is a set program. Such a decision that completely goes against the instinct of living things has been rare since the day they were born!
But they are happy to!
Rumble!
This time it’s not the center of the earth!
But the whole world!
There's an earthquake all over the world!
"What's going on? Isn't it over? Why is it like this?!!"
Before Benjamin could even get out of the bunker, there was an earthquake.
I didn't take it seriously at first, after all, the earthquake was not that obvious.
But soon, reports from all over the country made things worse.
News of earthquakes came from all over the United States... They are not Japan, and the whole country can receive news of an earthquake.
Strictly speaking, the United States is indeed a country prone to earthquakes.
California is one of the most earthquake-prone areas in the world. Los Angeles, the largest city on the west coast, is the second largest city in the United States and is located in the most active Pacific Rim seismic belt in the world. There is a fault about 20,000 meters underground in Los Angeles. Seismologists predict that there is a high probability that Los Angeles will experience a magnitude 8 earthquake within one or two generations.
Why are there so many earthquakes in California? The most active "scar" on Earth is hidden here!
California is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, one of the most active geological regions in the world. However, what really makes California an earthquake-prone area is the San Andreas Fault that runs through the area. This huge "scar" spans California, with a total length of about 1300 kilometers, and is the dividing line between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The two plates slide here at a speed of about 5 centimeters per year, like two boulders constantly squeezing and shifting, and when the energy accumulates to a certain level, it will be released in the form of earthquakes.
The most famous case is the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which reached a magnitude of 7.9 and almost destroyed the entire city. In recent years, scientists are more worried about the "next big earthquake", and some even predict that California may "break and sink into the Pacific Ocean" due to an earthquake.
In contrast, there are far fewer earthquakes on the East Coast of the United States.
So it is impossible for an earthquake to occur all over the country.
Moreover, as time goes by, the intensity of earthquakes becomes stronger and stronger, and even ordinary people can feel the obvious tremors!
How an earthquake makes us feel depends mainly on two factors: the magnitude of the earthquake and the distance from the epicenter. Generally speaking, the greater the magnitude and the closer the epicenter, the stronger the earthquake energy will be, and the more obvious the shaking and tremors we feel. On the contrary, if the magnitude is small or the epicenter is far away, the shaking we feel will naturally be very slight.
In addition, when a great natural disaster strikes, people always seem to react slowly. Why is that? The limitations of human perception make it almost impossible for us to detect potential crises in time. Compared with some animals, humans are obviously less sensitive to the early signs of natural disasters. In terms of hearing, the human ear can only process sounds from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Most low-frequency sound waves before earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are beyond our hearing range and difficult to detect. Visually, the human eye can only see a narrow spectrum, and important disaster warning signals such as ultraviolet and infrared rays are completely invisible to us. As for the sense of smell, although it can sense changes in certain circumstances, such as the release of volcanic gases or humid air, the human sense of smell in this regard is far less sensitive than that of some animals.
In addition to sensory limitations, people's cognitive processes can also interfere with the perception of crises. Interestingly, many people tend to be optimistic about the occurrence of disasters, believing that such things will never happen to them. This optimistic bias often causes potential risks to be ignored. At the same time, the information in people's memory is more likely to influence judgments, often based on the most significant examples. Another psychological phenomenon is "groupthink". In a group, the alertness of individuals often decreases, resulting in a less rapid response to disasters than expected. Data shows that although modern technology helps us better deal with crises, even after receiving an alarm, the average response time is still 20 minutes, showing that we are not effective enough in handling such emergency information. Psychological research points out that about % of people still have an overly optimistic attitude towards disaster risks, and thus ignore necessary preventive measures.
When everyone can easily feel the tremor...the intensity of the earthquake can be imagined!!!
