"The Descent of the Gods occurred 2,500 years ago, around 500 BC. A massive earthquake struck the Himalayas, nearly destroying the entire underground palace. The collapse of the palace led to the deaths of most of the divine people deep within the God's Kingdom, with only a few palace areas, temples, and shrines surviving.

"After this earthquake, the God's Kingdom was no longer able to support the massive body and ever-increasing appetite of the 'Zambiga.'

"To make matters worse, the meteorite was damaged and shifted.

"The damage caused the 'droplets' inside the meteorite to leak, completely sealing the 'Zambiga' in this space.

"The shift caused the meteorite to sink into the mountain, and the high-intensity radiation further reduced the living area of the divine people.

"Previously, a portion of the meteorite was exposed on the surface of the mountain range. It acted like a signal transmitter, allowing the 'Zambiga' to control the expeditionary kings and bestow blessings upon the warriors.

"But the sudden earthquake caused the signal to be interrupted, the strings of the puppets were cut, so the kings and warriors all died outside. The Resurrection Crystal was lost as a result, and the God's Kingdom never again had a divinely chosen king.

"At the same time, the 'Zambiga' no longer had the ability to send the controlled people outside the mountain. Even if they were sent out, they wouldn't live long."

I continued,

"After the earthquake, the offerings to the God's Kingdom became less and less, and the 'droplets' constantly seeped out of the meteorite. The first-generation 'Zambiga' could no longer support its own body and died soon after.

"The 'Zambiga' race differs from us in that they reproduce asexually before they die, replicating themselves and giving birth to their own original form.

"In short, when the old one is about to die, it will give birth to a small one, and the small one will inherit the memories of the old one.

"Just now, the monster I stabbed to death was the second-generation 'Zambiga.'"

After speaking, I pointed to the "Zambiga" with a knife stuck in its head.

"Where is the body of the first-generation 'Zambiga'?" Zoe asked curiously.

I pointed to the viscous black substance on the ground and said, "That's it. It's turned into a pool of black water."

Han Yu quickly covered her nose and mouth, signaling Fatty and Zoe to do the same.

I said to Han Yu, "It's okay. This thing has been dead for over two thousand years. Even if it was poisonous, it would have dissipated long ago."

"The toxins produced when the 'Zambiga' first died were the strongest. You've seen the corpses in the underground palace. The night the 'Zambiga' died, it indirectly killed everyone in the underground palace, except for the Old God-King," I added.

"By the way, is the 'Zambiga' completely dead now? It won't revive, will it?" Han Yu suddenly thought of this and asked.

As expected, Han Yu was the most thoughtful. I shook my head and said, "This thing isn't completely dead yet. Before it dies, it will definitely produce its next generation and turn into black water. This process takes time, so it's fine for now."

"I have a hypothesis…" Han Yu said, "The meteorite might be a prison from outer space, and the 'droplets' are some kind of 'guard' in the prison.

"Based on the survival characteristics of the 'Zambiga,' it seems that nothing on Earth can completely eliminate it. So I guess it might have been exiled to outer space by some unknown being in the universe, captured by the gravity of the solar system, and ultimately crashed on Earth by accident."

I looked at Han Yu in surprise, thinking that what she said made a lot of sense. She truly was the brains of our team.

She pointed to the motionless 'Zambiga' with a knife stuck in its head and asked me, "What are you going to do with it?"

"The Old God-King told me that it's very afraid of the 'droplets,' so I want to throw it into the 'droplets' to see if it can be completely destroyed," I replied.

Han Yu then pointed to the top of the space and said, "Are you talking about these droplets above?"

I admired Han Yu's observation skills and said, "You noticed it?"

Han Yu nodded, "The unique optical properties of the 'droplets' are somewhat distorted in this abnormally bright room, so the 'droplets' haven't completely disguised themselves. When Daniel fired upwards, the echo of the gunshot disappeared unusually quickly because the 'droplets' can absorb sound waves, so I determined that the invisible things above are 'droplets.'"

At this time, Zoe asked me, "Young Master, are you now immortal like the God-King?"

I didn't know how to answer for a moment. After stammering for a long time, I said, "Actually... I don't know either."

Han Yu suddenly interjected, "Then can't you..."

I anticipated that she would ask this question, so I made a gesture to be quiet, interrupted her, and then whispered something in her ear.

Fatty and Zoe expressed their dissatisfaction with my and Han Yu's whispering, especially Fatty, who said that we were forming cliques and playing division within the team, but I brushed it off.

Later, I answered many of their questions about the God's Kingdom, the underground palace, the meteorite, and the "Zambiga," knowing everything and saying everything.

I didn't throw the "Zambiga" directly into the "droplets" in front of them. I explained, "It might be dangerous to throw the 'Zambiga' directly into the 'droplets.' After all, you all know the danger of the 'droplets.' Moreover, there's also a large meteorite here that needs to be dealt with. I need time to handle it, so you should leave first and wait for me down the mountain."

Zoe insisted on staying, saying that she couldn't abandon her teammates.

I gave Han Yu a look, and Han Yu understood instantly. She said to Zoe, "He's not an ordinary person anymore. He won't be in danger. Trust him."

In the end, Zoe was still persuaded by Han Yu and agreed to follow Fatty down the mountain first.

I moved the big stone blocking the ventilation hole with almost no effort. Fatty pinched my arms and shoulders in disbelief, muttering that I was exhibiting supernatural strength.

I hugged Fatty, Zoe, and Han Yu, and said goodbye to them one by one.

Like an omniscient being, I pointed to the pitch-black hole and said, "Go straight ahead along this pitch-black hole. After walking a long distance, you can exit from here. The exit of the hole is on the mountainside. It's relatively dangerous there, so be careful. After going down the mountain, follow a glacier downwards. It will take about half a day to reach the foot of the mountain. That's in Nepal, and there should be villages nearby."

Fatty hugged me again before leaving and said, "Brother, we'll wait for you down the mountain. When we get out, let's go eat roast whole lamb together. Fatty here will pick you the most tender and fatty lamb and leave you a leg."

I patted Fatty's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay! It's a deal!"

Watching their figures disappear into the pitch-black hole, tears uncontrollably slid from the corners of my eyes.

After my parents died, I went through a very dark period. I never told anyone about this experience.

—I was among the crowd, but seemed to be outside the crowd. I was used to reconciling with my loneliness, sitting down in a dark room, waiting for the tears to flow.
