On the Western continent, the twelve main gods who ruled this land had finally all fallen. As the last of the thunder gradually extinguished, the great golden face of Zeus was split in two and crashed onto the ground. The entire city of the gods began to make sounds of collapse. This great city, which had stood on the mountaintop, began to disintegrate into fragments in all directions.
Aslan jumped out of the Supreme Masterpiece. At the same time, he ordered it to temporarily connect to the energy of the entire mountain city to slow down the city's disintegration as much as possible. If this city were to collapse now, very few people would survive. This would be a deviation from their original purpose.
What's more, he also took this opportunity to have the Supreme Masterpiece scan the internal state of the entire divine realm, to search for the location of Zeus's old dad's machine body. Even if he couldn't find the body, he had to find the relevant data. Otherwise, how to leave this world would become a difficult problem. Although he could still live for a long, long time, this did not mean that Aslan wanted to stay in this world, which had very little entertainment, for too long.
Most importantly, although humanity had bid farewell to the gods, the Western land was lacking too much of the foundation of the Human Order. This world was already on the verge of being pruned at any moment. Although if his own world were to be pruned, those with ability might become wanderers, this uncertainty of having a sharp sword hanging over one's head was truly unsettling.
Fortunately, with everyone's help, the evacuation of all the people trapped in the divine realm went relatively smoothly. However, the various reactions of the rescued people were somewhat lamentable. It was clear that a portion of the people had been turned into the most loyal slaves by the gods. Upon hearing that all the gods had fallen, their first reaction was actually disbelief, and their second reaction was sorrow for the gods.
Towards this kind of person, whether it was the rescuers or the rescued, they would only give them a complicated look. This look contained sadness, and of course, also accusation. After all, for the gods to completely grasp and control these humans, they would naturally also suppress one group and win over another. The living environments of the two were completely different. To say that those who were suppressed did not feel jealous and had some resentment towards those who were won over would be a lie. Looking at the pitiful state of these people now, as fellow humans, one couldn't help but feel a bit more pity for their current state. From now on, these people who had been won over would never be able to return to a normal life.
After everyone had left this area, the Supreme Masterpiece finally completely released its control of the entire divine realm. The gods, who had hovered over the skies of humanity and ruled them with arrogance, finally came to an end at this moment.
The crimson artificial god slowly landed back on the ground. Compared to the gods before, the people naturally did not have any fear of this artificial god. Of course, they were still a bit wary.
Aslan gently patted the Supreme Masterpiece's shoulder. The Supreme Masterpiece bent down and lifted its own arm. A series of data popped up from the arm. Aslan, in turn, quickly browsed through all the data, and a smile appeared on his face. Although he hadn't found the machine body of Zeus's old dad, some of the records related to time and space had all been copied. With these records, and with his own understanding, Aslan was confident that he could complete a time jump within 5 years. In any case, he would complete the time jump first, and then slowly find his own space.
After all the gods had died, the subsequent matters were not for Aslan to do. Heracles stated that he would lead these humans to establish a city-state. Then, regardless of whether everything had settled, Heracles would choose to end his own life after ten years. He had already lived for a long, long time. If he continued to live, he could not guarantee that he would not lose his original self in the passage of time. Since he had chosen to live as a human, then he should follow the human cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. How can there be a human who has lived for hundreds or thousands of years?
Regarding death, Heracles just curled his lips into a smile, a look of indifference on his face. He then stood up and led the group towards a place with more abundant water. After the gods disappeared, everyone could finally, on this land, freely and to their hearts' content, begin their own lives.
After the gods disappeared, Aslan naturally no longer needed to hide in that remote place to continue his own research. To facilitate the development of a time-space travel device as soon as possible, Aslan chose to continue his research on the mountaintop where the gods' divine realm was located. After all, the fragments of the gods' abode were also good semi-finished materials. Especially after Aslan discovered that there were traces of a space gate in this town where the gods had lived, he found the wreckage of the space gate, pieced it together, and continued his own research and modification on this basis.
The facts were indeed as Aslan had expected. In order to cross the sea of stars, the machine gods had indeed mastered the ability to leap through space and time. The ability to leap through space could be once again strengthened on the Supreme Masterpiece. The ability to leap through time required him to further combine it with magic for in-depth research. However, to research this device did indeed almost make Aslan go bald.
On the day everything was completed, there were only two people who came to see him off. One was Estée Lauder, and the other was naturally Heracles. After all, in this world, only the two of them were relatively familiar with him.
Based on the technology brought out from the divine realm, the humans of the West were developing rapidly. Of course, this development was, at most, just beginning to chase the brilliance that human civilization should have had. However, to shake off the shadow of the gods and stride forward, it would probably still take some time.
And looking at the calm sky, the boy who had once complained about why his mother had given birth to him, his mood at this moment was also incomparably subtle.
The completed time-space leap device began to slowly unfold. With Aslan's ability, he could currently only make it into a one-time-use item. This was not a Rayshift, but a genuine leap through time and space. The vast amount of knowledge involved was something that even Aslan himself could not say he fully understood. He could only rely on the old capital left behind by the machine gods.
To cross time and space at the same time, Aslan's physical body's ability was not yet sufficient. He had to be piloting the Supreme Masterpiece to be able to sustain the journey in this space-time for a period of time. However, traveling to the year 1994 was still not a problem.
Before boarding the Supreme Masterpiece, Aslan gave the golden-haired girl before him a gentle smile. "I look forward to the miracle that will let us meet again. At that time, let me see your supreme masterpiece."
