The seemingly transparent giant fish quickly swam through the endless space vortex.

Despite so many strange and eerie creatures passing by the fish, nobody noticed its existence at all.

If someone were able to observe the giant fishs route from the start, they would notice that it was actually swimming in a unique pattern as it headed for a certain direction.

At some point, the transparent giant fish arrived at the center of the Strife Zones.

In truth, the entire 200 million World Layers of the Strife Zones were all situated around this place as the center to form a complete closed spiral.

But there was actually nothing here at the center of it all.

The transparent fish lingered here for a while before its body started to glow in 7 differently colored lights.

An emerald green glow that represented Life.

A deep blue shine which represented Space and Time.

An ashen grey fog which represented Fate.

A holy yellow pillar which represented Belief.

A deep purple net that represented Secrets.

A magnificent golden glow that represented Civilization.

A lonesome dark waterfall which represents the End of all things.

The seven lights melded together and reflected into the void of space.

A cave suddenly appeared in the void.

The giant fish quickly leaped into the cave.

The very next moment, the seven lights were nowhere to be seen.

The fish and the cave were also gone.

A large empty hall.

Annas expression was stern.

With a frosty expression, she stood across from her six companions.

Glancing at her black long dress originally meant to be used for making relations, then at the fully armored bunch on the other side, Anna couldnt hold back her rage.

So you all knew what was going to happen, with me being the only fool huh? she spoke in a cold voice.

The other six exchanged glances.

A woman cloaked in an emerald green robe spoke: This mission isnt simple, yet your Church of Death is acting like this

She glanced at Annas nearly perfect face, feeling the charm and lure of her beauty and felt jealous for a brief moment.

The man cloaked in frost also spoke: Indeed, this times matter is extreme Divine, our Church had to host a competition to select a worthy representative, of which I was the champion, and yet your Church of Death hah

The woman cloaked in green coldly smirked: Our Church of Life was also extremely serious towards this times matter, I obtained the right to be here by putting in all my effort, yet the supposed most excellent newcomer of 700 years for the Church of Death is a fool who doesnt even know why shes here

Anna became silent.

She then undid her hairdo to let her long flowing hair down and chanted in her mind:

Death is near

A jet black scythe appeared from the void of space.

With the scythe in her hand, Anna coldly stared at the green-robed woman.

She whispered: If you have a problem with me, how about learning the secret of death?

She then turned to the cold, frosty man and continued: You can also try, I can guarantee your opinion of me will also be erased

-because dead people dont have opinions.

Which means this was Anna provoking these two for a battle.

The man and womans expressions both changed.

They werent afraid to fight, but as they looked at the sharp black scythe of darkness, they were hesitant.

This girl called Anna was a complete mystery, a dear child of the Church of Death, to the point that she had their worshipped deity accompanying her as she went out to drink.

No one knew her background.

But one thing was clear, if a single person was treated with such importance by an entire Church, she must be special in one way or another.

Combined with her Churchs unique characteristics, they werent sure to be able to win this battle.

In which case, should I make an enemy of Death?

They were both hesitant, unable to decide.

Wait!

A blond man stepped in between the two sides.

He smiled as he mediated between them: Were comrades on the same side here. This might be our first meeting, but whos to say that we wont need each others help later on? Theres no need to make our relationship so tense!

Looking at Anna, the blond man amiably explained her: I can explain to you, we are here this time on behalf of our churches, traveling by the most discreet manner possible because the Book of Seven might be reactivated once again

Anna instantly realized.

So thats why!

Black Hound tricked me into coming here because of this annoying matter!

Thinking that, Anna felt annoyed to the point that she didnt want to fight anymore.

The Book of Seven, also known as the Gods Book of Prophecy, a joint creation of seven Gods that can reveal the future once every hundred or thousand years.

At that time, followers of the seven Gods must come here together, do what they can to pass the Seven Gods tests, and receive the prophecy.

The tests of the Gods were strange and out of the ordinary, no one could ever predict what kind of thing they would need to accomplish.

For example, the Gods could give you a test to conquer a world which would be simple, but most of the time, the tests were much harder than this.

At the start, every Church considered this to be a divine occurrence, enough that those who come here would have to be Pope of the Church or at least an Elder in power.

But ever since a certain Pope was given a test to perform the dance of 7 million races at least once in the span of 5 years- the Popes couldnt take it anymore and kept themselves from coming.

The Elders also avoided this like the plague.

And so, this became the ultimate test for the younger generation and novices of the Churches.

No matter what happened, as long as they succeeded, they would bring the prophecy back to their Church.

If they failed, the Churches would simply send others.

Newcomers who accomplished this task were usually rewarded by their Church.

And the rewards were quite enticing.

-perhaps others would look forward to this, but Anna felt this was nothing but troublesome.

With her current state of growth, all she needed to do was keep moving forward.

She didnt need to care about those rewards that might not even make a difference.

Anna lowered her head dejectedly and sighed: Fine, were already here, might as well get on with it and return as soon as possible

The two who were tensely preparing to battle were surprised to see that her fighting spirit suddenly dissipating as she became dejected.

didnt she want to kill us just a moment ago?

Why did she suddenly turn to that?

While hesitant, the two of them took the opportunity to leave that matter behind.

Anna, on the other hand, had already forgotten about both of them they were simply too weak, and the matter she needed to attend to was too troublesome to waste time on them.

So neither side did anything.

Alright, let us finish the job here as soon as we can the blond man smiled.

He opened his hand.

A small, intricate dagger silently hovered in his palm.

Rays of golden light emerged from the dagger.

Anna just sighed helplessly and arbitrarily tapped the ground with her scythe.

Oom-

Intense black light erupted from the scythe.

The light completely enveloped Anna like a gate to some unknown bottomless abyss.

And this was only a casual release of her strength!

Such strength caused the group of people to all change their expressions.

One of the men smiled bitterly, took out a long trident and chanted his Churchs Divine Words.

A deep purple net of light appeared from the trident.

The green-robed woman took out a bow.

The cold frosty man took out a gauntlet and put it on his hand.

Another woman who had been staying silent with her eyes closed all this time took off the necklace she was wearing and raised it with both palms.

The man with the biggest stature among them didnt take out anything, but a pair of holy wings slowly opened behind his back.

The lights rose upwards from their body.

All seven had gathered!

As the empty hall sensed that the followers of all seven Gods were here, it began to rumble.

A book carved from stone rose from the ground, silently standing in front of the seven people.

The book was about as tall as three people, decorated all over in majestic Divine Runes, but the book itself was closed without any signs of opening.

The Stone Book has appeared, we can begin now the blond man spoke.

He stepped forward, knelt on one knee and placed his hand on the outside of the Stone Book.

The others also stepped forward, knelt on one knee and placed their hands.

Anna sighed and could only follow them.

A few moments later.

Nothing.

All seven people seemed surprised.

this cant be right, according to the records, whenever they got to this step in the past, the Stone Book would select one of the followers and grant them a specific task to accomplish.

Once this follower accomplishes their task, they would receive the prophecy.

If they cant do that, the Stone Book will simply choose another follower among the other six to accomplish another task instead.

But why did the Stone Book not react at all this time?

While everyone was still in shock, a divine majestic voice came from the Stone Book.

[Irreversible grave omens are appearing!]

[Outside the Strife Zones, unprecedented destruction had begun]

[The prophecy of the seven Gods has finally reached its end]

[Followers of the seven Gods, get ready, accept the task from your Gods and trigger the final prophecy!]
